The Tamarind restaurant is an Indian restaurant in Mayfair, London, opened in 1995. It became one of the first Indian restaurants in London to receive a Michelin star, which it won in 2001 under head chef Atul Kochhar.^[2] Jonathan Gold, in the Los Angeles Times, wrote that he had been impressed by its "frank attempt to produce Indian food with the sheen and polish of white-tablecloth European cuisine", though he chiefly recalled "the wine list, the flowers, and the cost."^[3] The Michelin Guide described the food and menu as "extensive à la carte of generous dishes perfect for sharing, with a selection of small plates like Rajasthani churi chaat to start, and a good selection of curries and biryanis for the main course."^[4] In 2023, Tamarind was featured in an article published by Tatler on "The most outstanding Indian restaurants in London".^[5]
