Rate-A-Restaurant, #14 in a series
Restaurant: Tamarind Tea Room
Location: 41-43 East 22nd (between Park Avenue South and Broadway), New York
Type of restaurant: Indian
They stipulated: I had to order from the tea menu since I went to the tea room next door to the main restaurant.
What I ordered: Saag paneer sandwich with the accompanying recommended tea, Ti Kuan Yin.
High point: This sandwich was really delicious, especially if you are craving paneer. It had a layer of fresh spinach, lots of that yummy paneer it was falling out, a hint of some sweet sauce rolled in a parantha bread (indian flatbread) served with raita and a side salad.
Low point: Nothing really... okay I had to go through the main restaurant next door to go to the bathroom. But that made me have a reason to check out the beautiful interior of the Tamarind.
Overall impression: Nice, calm place where you don't feel awkward dining alone.
Chance we will go back: Already did. I dragged Mike and Clarissa for lunch at the main restaurant on our last day there. We had a Rocco DiSpirito sighting and Clarissa had that yummy she-crab soup. Mmmm.... she-crab soup.
