The Tamarind Tree in Wokingham

1st takeaway from the Tamarind Tree. Really excellent food! King prawn shaslick….v tasty, cooked very well. King prawn tamarind…..super tasty not over salty as most places. Everything else great and two free poppadoms …thanks. Will be coming again. Good parking outside.

A popular and regular haunt for our supplier, who brought us here tonight It’s clear to see why they like this establishment The decor inside is standard, equipped to seat as many as fire safety will allow The service was on top form Friendly, efficient and attentive When the popadoms and condiments came out, my spirits were lifted by the noticeable absence of coriander When I ordered my main of the lamb muglai, a prata and sag aloo and I clearly specified no coriander The response was so casual, that again, my spirits were lifted - they are used to that statement and clearly act accordingly So, you can imagine my disappointment when my sag aloo was liberally sprinkled with the vile green herb In fairness, who I assume is this infamous owner that the other reviews have commented on - Koush - was on it like a rash and a replacement dish was soon brought out and was tasty The lamb dish was also satisfying However, I felt the Prata was either left to sit for too long, after cooking, or just not prepared as well, for it was neither light of fluffy and almost dense and flat like a roti If they had got those two issues right….I would happily have given this a five star review as I thoroughly enjoyed it And the rest of our party clearly did too, judging by the empty plates all round

Seeing the ratings on here is really surprising as we ate there yesterday and the food was bland and cold. I can only assume that they had an off day. The staff were very good though.

First time here and what a great find. Food delicious. The owner “Kush” was extremely hospitable. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Wow what fab food and absolutely great service can’t wait to go back.. Koush was outstanding and looked after us really well! See you soon 😁

11/10 Best Indian food in Berkshire let alone Wokingham, always fantastic, with a genuine warmth in the personal service, we were all well looked after. Koush, Lucy & the service team know how to keep a customer happy. The chefs get our full compliments. Brilliant, will be in again real soon.

This used to be the place to go for a curry in Wokingham. Gone massively downhill over last few visits . Portion sizes are very small and chicken very rubbery . Staff are rude and basically ignore you and are clearly not happy which rubs off on customers. They need to listen to this feedback as many people are saying it . Much cheaper and better options in Wokingham. Don’t bother with this place .

Last minute dinner outing with my family, absolutely wonderful restaurant, amazing, lovely and caring staff members. Food was beautiful as well! Honestly had a wonderful evening! Staff was absolutely lovely to my 11 month old daughter☺️ such a beautiful place to go! Would 100% be returning for another meal with them and will also recommend to family and friends!! Thank you guys you did amazing, keep up with the hard work!! See you again!

We’ve tried many different foods but going here, was definitely the best decision. The staff were very attentive, the food was delicious and good ambience. We had a dish cooked that wasn’t on the menu. Was all lovely. We will definitely return. 5* service

Very enjoyable evening with friends, good food, very attentive staff who served us well all evening, nice surroundings. Will look forward to returning very soon, thank you.

Excellent food and service. Couldn’t ask for a better Curry night for myself and 8 friends. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

First time trying the Tamarind Tree and it did not disappoint. The food was really tasty and the service was 10 out of 10 which makes all the difference. The staff were extremely welcoming and attentive even though the restaurant was very busy during our visit. It’s clear to see the relationship they have with returning customers. Would highly recommend and will be visiting again. Thank you!

We live in Wokingham and have eaten here many times over the years. Last (saturday) night, we decided to go, so walked in on the off chance of a table. One of the waiters was brilliant and sorted one put for us. Food was great as always. Mixed grill highly recommended. Prawn specials pretty great too. Reason for three stars. A restaurant experience is about food and service. Unfortunately one waiter (who I assume was the main guy, due to his demeanour) was arrogant, rude and when I when any of our table spoke to him, he hardly responded to us in acknowledgement. He was very rude to our friend (who now also lives in the area, when he asked about a curry! Despite this, I went to the bar to pay a tip, as all the others were great... he moved the card machine in front of me without saying a word, not one word. Even after I'd paid the tip, nothing. This rotund head waiter is a pompous, foul little creature and we will not be eating here again. Needs customer service training!

Very poor service and food. Waiter more interested in his phone. No one asked if I was enjoying the food during my meal and the same young waiter threw some orange and a towel down without asking if I had enjoyed the meal. Chicken tikka clearly not fresh but frozen and curry had no taste at all I asked if the onion bhajees were round as flat ones a stodgy. He said yes they were and promptly brought flat ones. Ther are other Indian restaurants at both sides of this one. Suggest you choose one of those.

Yet another visit to this restaurant. I meet my ex work colleagues here every couple of months for a catch up. Excellent food and the staff are attentive and polite. Loads of parking nearby (free after 6pm on week days).

Absolutely amazing meal, fantastic service, great atmosphere. I'm here now and it is Sunday evening and packed, so I'm guessing you need to book, but it really is a fabulous restaurant.

We chose Tamarind Tree for our New Year's special take away treat but the three dishes we chose where underwhelming - too much sauce, too little "substance" and generally not exciting. Will not return

We were visiting the area and chose this restaurant from its Tripadvisor reviews, and we are glad that we did! The meals were perfect and the owner and all his staff were really helpful and interesting. Strongly recommend for a family or business meal.

This restaurant is one of the best in Wokingham (in my opinion), the staff are very efficient the food is delicious

Most importantly the food was good but service was slow and I find it really frustrating when the only beer options in an Indian are cobra or kingfisher lager - WE ARE NOT ALL LAGER DRINKERS so a couple of proper beers/Ales would be nice...

Kush and the team know what they are doing. Great service, good prices and really good curry. The menu is extensive and supported by a good choice of wines / beers. Great value overall. Takeaway service is excellent. Really nice and friendly "busy" vibe for...

Delicious delicious delicious. Very hospitable. Packed with flavour. Not oily. One of the best tandoori chicken

Had a lovely meal there last night with friends. It was quite busy, so it’s important to book a table.

Our wedding anniversary dinner was so delicious. Restaurant was so busy but no impact on service and quality of the food. The staff made us feel so special and looked after us really well. Can’t fault it.

Friday night out with lovely food and buzzing atmosphere! I would recommend my favourite King prawn zinga starter, so delicious. Our favourite Indian restaurant in Wokingham, will be back soon!

Excellent takeaway food and looks to be a nice restaurant. Only dropped in yesterday to pick up a takeaway but was impressed by the food (not oily and really fresh flavours). Prices very reasonable with discount for takeaway + very friendly service

Had a leaflet through door and decided to give them a try. Was not disappointed! We are in bracknell and had it delivered, honestly while I was still eating I was telling my friend how she had to order from here.

Disappointed with our takeaway, especially after being recommended the Tamarind Tree - average at best. Naan was soggy, both our mains were bland and one dish was very watery, so much so we had to drain it off.

Amazing service and food! Will definitely return. A member of our party asked for some info on a dish and it was explained well and other dishes were also recommended. Could taste very flavour. Safe during Covid too! Highly recommend

The Tamarind Tree is the best Indian restaurant in Wokingham. We have been eating there and having take-aways since it opened. The food is great and the owner and staff are first rate.

Tamarind is a very popular, and well established restaurant in Wokingham. Een thouh they have has to reduce the tables to be Covid 19 compliant, they seem to be doing very well. Service is efficient and the Lamb Bhalti was particularly good.

A regular dinner stop for us. Certainly the best Indian food around Wokingham and very friendly staff. Social distancing was maintained and customers temperature checked on entry. Thoroughly recommended.

Arranged a Curry Night with two friends and opted for The Tamarind as they had a deal on £10.95 for starter, main, side and either nan or rice which was good value for money. I had a chat with one of the waiters asking his...

Got a chicken shashlik takeaway and the tandoori dish was horrible and poor! Firstly, it's very bland and they filled up the takeaway box with two beefy tomatoes with 6 small boneless chicken pieces and charged £9 quid! This is our second takeaway from this place and very disappointed. Never again.

The best Indian takeaway during covid-19 lockdown! We decided to have a weekend treat after visiting the restaurant with friends couple months ago. Also amazing! I asked for a spicy korma and that’s exactly what I got. Brilliant owner.

We went to the Tamarind Tree early on Friday evening. They were already busy but we seated & served quickly. Food was very tasty and not all generic sauce curry either. The lamb special (can’t remember the exact name!) was the best. We will be back

Not being a massive fan of Indian food, Kush guides me through the menu to match my specific taste and ensure I have a fantastic evening with my girlfriend! If there is one place to go for curry it’s here! Thank you again for your amazing service guys, and girls!

I have been to The Tamarind Tree on many occasions and always loved it. I’d not been for a while so decided to go this evening... the food remained great as always, but I was disappointed by the rudeness of one of the 2 members of staff who were working this evening. I found him to be very rude and abrupt with us and other customers. This was disappointing and i don’t think we’ll be rushing back

I've not been to the Tamarind Tree for a while (we used to go with work every now and then but we moved offices out of area), but I got a warm welcome on arrival. We had a group of ten, service was great and food tasty. It's definitely my favourite Indian restaurant in Wokingham. More expensive than some, but I'm happy to go back. I still found the overall bill really reasonable. And the lovely owner gave me a drink on the house whilst I was getting the bill. Absolutely no complaints from me and we will be back.

Greeted by the owner as we entered an made to feel welcome. Atmosphere great and served well. We had apart of 15 and food choices great. Food all arrived together and food was lovely. Party of 15 very happy.

I eat Indian cuisine once a month to appease my husband who loves it and I usually just feel cheated out of a good meal. Not here though, it was amazing. Really fresh flavours and not greasy. I loved it. As a vegetarian we went for a range of side dishes and although a little more expensive than most Indians, I was happy to pay for the quality. In terms of the restaurant itself, I would say this is not the type of Indian you go to after hitting the beers all day, but more for a nice night out. No drunken groups in sight. I will be returning soon.

Great experience for a first time visit. The restaurant was packed but the service and the food was excellent.

We booked this on a whim based on other people's reviews. So glad we did. It was really busy but we were still served quickly and the staff were really nice. The food was delicious. My husband had the king prawn starter and it was huge! I loved my bhuna balti, just the right level of spice. It's a shame we live 2 and a half hours from Wokingham otherwise this would be a regular night out for us.

Most helpful and excellent staff twisting the menu to ensure you will enjoy the experience. Mild Dansak with pineapple who would have known! Thank you we thoroughly enjoyed our meal.

On entering the Tamarind Tree you are faced with a long dining room with tables either side and a central walkway. The welcome was fast and genuine taking us to our pre booked table. The menu contained the usual Indian fare at reasonable prices and was very enjoyable.

Been here a couple of times. Food is good but is too expensive and portions seemed too small. I hope they will take this on board as it’s a nice restaurant but lacks value for money.

I have been promising myself a visit to this restaurant for years and was not disappointed. Service and food very good. Made to feel most welcome by all staff. Will definitely return

The place is very pleasant and staff friendly. All dishes were really good including the special made on order. However the dishes were very expensive for an Indian and to be honest not good value for money.

Last minute decision to go out -so no table booked but they managed to fit us in. Great food. Waiter fine and owner (I think) came over for quick chat although we had never been in before - would def go back.

Lovely food great service and very clean,eaten her a few times now and always great food and service.

Excellent food and very good service. I had the Chicken Rogan which was made with all fresh ingredients and tasted really good. Highly recommend this restaurant

Good food and the service, the menu caters for vegetarians and meat and fish lovers. The service is good giving time to take a good look at the menu, the only down side is it gets noisy when busy which makes talking to friends a bit distracting!

Have been here several times and am looking forward to going back tonight!! Food consistently good and flavorsome (unlike some other restaurants).

Eaten here many times,always good. Met up with 6 workmates from years ago to put the world to rights. Excellent service, good plentiful food. Waiter even advised us when we ordered too much so suggested removing some items. How many other places would do that ! Just go there.

I love Indian food and have been to many restaurants.

Not usually an Indian restaurant fan but the food and attentive service was fantastic. We had some starter dishes and mild curry mains. All served by staff that knew their job well.

Visited earlier this week for a meal after returning home from a business trip. Arrived about 7.30 was shown to a table. There were a few occupied tables but I wouldn’t class as busy. The staff were very attentive and good humoured. Orders taken for first and main course and didn’t have to wait long for the food. Starters were excellent, i had the stuffed pepper which was really tasty. After we had finished the starters we were asked if we were ready for the main course, I like this, didn’t feel like we were being rushed. Main courses were a mix of curry and side dishes, all hot and served with hot plates, again a big plus.

Lovely food presented well tastey and hot plates . Service excellent. Great evening with friends the staff are so friendly and restaurant is clean and we'll laid out.

It was a small family gathering and food & great hospitality made this evening extra special! Thank you very much, delicious food !

We arrived in group of 12 with young kids and attention to details was perfect. Thank you for recommending variety of dishes. All of the dishes were cooked to perfection! I loved my king prawn zinga starter and I had the same dish as a desert, highly recommended!

Nice small restaurant well presented and good food, i visit here about 6 times a year and the food is tasty

went with a group of 7 work colleagues - though busy the service was fast and excellent

I hadn't visited the Tamarind Tree for a while. I'm so glad I did! They served me a first class curry with fantastic service. I'll be going back soon. The food was superb and we had a very friendly reception.

Tastless food Overpriced Customer Service...none at all Definitely not the delicious Indian food flavours due to the fact its NOT an Indian restaurant cooking Indian food. 1 Star for location

Been to quite a few curry houses before and overall this was pretty good. Good food and service. Bit pricey. Good atmosphere and clean. Long corridor for the toilets, you will know what I mean if you go.

First of all it's not an Indian restaurant, it's Bangladeshi. They certainly don't have clue about the flavours of Indian cuisine. Very limited veg menu. Staff was arrogant, insisted on calling the main course dishes such as Moter Ponir curry ( it's Matar Paneer actually) as a side.

Hospitality from the team at The Tamarind Tree was great. It had a real buzz last night. The food was full of flavour and Kush made up a dish which was not on the menu and it was delicious. I would recommend a visit one evening.

Several restaurants in Wokingham offer a Sunday Buffet lunch. The Tamarind Tree tends too be higher than most at £10.95. Quite a reasonable selection a Korma, a Marsala, a vegetable curry plus two rice dishes, Nan and chicken tikka. However, we were surprised that all the meat dishes were chicken . When we asked why no other alternative such as lamb, we were told that they had run out of lamb and would not get any for three days! Bizarre!

Restaurant was recommended by my hotel and was not left disappointed. Fantastic food, best Indian I have had for quite some time. Would certainly go back another time.

Yet another fab meal at the tamarind tree. Food and service are excellent. Best Indian in the town by a mile.

My friends invited me to have a curry with them and they have been here many times.

One of my favourite restaurants when visiting England. I would say an untypical English curry house because of the unique way they cook here. Absolutely delicious.

Stopped here for a quick work dinner but the food was fab and the service really attentive and personal. A definable winner!!

Nipped into the restaurant as I was staying nearby and the staff are great, food is well presented and a nice atmosphere.

My family of 4 really enjoyed our dinner here. We came based on the Tripadvisor recommendations and were not disappointed. Service was very attentive and the food was well-spiced and delicious. The only complaint was that portions were a little on the small side, so we needed to order an extra dish.

We had dinner at the Tamarind Tree and couldn't have been happier.

We moved to the area late 2017 and after trying some great restaurants locally this has quickly become our favourite, the food and service are both incredible, everybody makes you feel so welcome, they treat my wife and daughter like princesses (they are nice to me too!). If you like hot dishes they will make something special for you. Also ask for burnt popadoms, they are very good.

Had the poppadoms with home made dips to start which were delicious. The manager was really enthusiastic to explain how all the sauces were made on site and it was nice to see them take real pride in what they were serving.

Spur of the moment meal out and I was mega impressed. We had some popadoms to start with some delicious dips which the waiter described to us and most of them were made fresh in shop. We were all struggling to decide what we wanted to eat so we told the gentlemen serving us what we each liked and he went away and brought back the perfect dishes. Everything was delicious! I will definitely be going back!

We arrived after having an awful experience in twyford and they looked after us having the best customer service I’ve ever had in a restaurant. The manager was extremely understanding and couldn’t have done anything more to improve his birthday and turn the evening around. Thankyou so much to all the staff for helping me save the evening.

We only get to visit once a year however we are always delighted! Great service, lots of choice of dishes and level of spicing. Highly recommend this place for its food and service

Food lacked flavour. Chefs special exotic chicken was a sliced chicken breast in red flavourless gloopy sauce. Starter , curry and three beers £37 which is way too much. Will not go back or recommend , had better curry in Wetherspoon

The food had no real flavour,very small portions and not good value for money.

First impression of the venue was very pleasant. Nice, clean decor and greeted with an even more welcoming smiley face of Kesh. The presentation of the food was mesmerising and we were told how each dip was made and what it contained. You could hear the pride and passion in Kesh’s voice. The food was flavoursome and succulent. Highly recommended and we are ecstatic to have found such a gem at our door step. Keep up the great work guys. We will be telling everyone about you. H & R :)

My second visit and wasn’t disappointed, a very busy Friday evening and glad we booked as people were being turned away.

Best Indian ( Bangladesh ) restaurant by far in Wokingham ~ clean and very friendly owner and staff . Been going here since it was opened and have never been disappointed ... Being a West Midlander I like to think I know a good curry when I eat one

I haven't visited this restaurant for a while, however enjoyed the ambiance, the staff were attentive. The menu choice is good and the meal was fine.

Had been recommended the restaurant by various friends who claimed it was the best Indian cuisine in Berkshire. I beg to differ. The service was okay. Food was okay. Best part of the meal was the Poppadom which came with various different sauces/dips.
