This might be my favorite restaurant in Vegas! A friend recommended it to us, and it exceeded every expectation. Not only was the food amazing, but the service was incredible from start to finish. We had three rounds of drinks--I stuck with the gin cocktails, while my friend tried a few different ones. The standout was a cinnamon champagne cocktail that was absolutely incredible. As for the food, every single dish was delicious. There wasn't one thing we didn't love, and we finished everything! The staff even surprised us with a few complimentary dishes, which was such a thoughtful touch. The restaurant itself is beautiful and aesthetically pleasing, making it perfect for a date night, a celebration, or even a business dinner. The pricing was also very reasonable considering the quality and generous portions. Overall, it's an easy 10/10, and I'll definitely be back! read more

This is my second time at Tamba and unsurprisingly my experience was just as phenomenal as our first visit. Tamba delivers a fine dining experience that anyone- but especially locals will enjoy. Here you will receive the same service standards you would expect at a Michelin restaurant from start to finish, but with an ambiance that feels comfortable and welcoming. Everyone we interacted with, from our hostess, to the server assistant, to our server Oleh and the manager Anna were the epitome of hospitality. Tamba has been open for 18 months and it's incredibly rare to see a restaurant operate so smoothly and stay that way within its first year or two of business, but both visits to Tamba showed the same well oiled machine-this is a staff that knows their food and what they're doing and they care enough to continue doing it. I wish I had taken any photos because everything was beautiful but twice now I was enjoying my experience so much my phone was forgotten at the bottom of my bag. At this point we have probably eaten our way through a good quarter of the menu. The cocktail menu is extensive, and every drink was perfectly balanced and presented. Everything is fresh and every single dish we've tried we would have again. This round we had the samosas which were presented beautifully on a house made chickpea curry, as well as a vegetable biryani and two curry dishes as our main- the coriander paneer and the corn edamame curry. Everything is so flavorful and so balanced- excellently prepared and again I cannot say enough how well the staff guides you through your meal process. Oleh spoke about the spice level, asked about our preferences and made wonderful suggestions. And when our food runner arrived with our meal he also talked us through our dishes as well. No guessing, no questions about which accompaniment belonged to which dish- we were just able to enjoy everything in front of us. And the portions were excellent. This is a dining experience that is worth every penny, and one we will frequent as well as recommend to anyone we know. I cannot wait to see them continue to grow and succeed! Thank you Tamba team :) read more

Wow, that was very good. It's been almost 2 years since we went out for a dress up meal. Between hip surgery, leg issues, losing weight etc we just haven't gone big. We decided to try this James Beard New Restaurant Finalist (didn't win) and damn that was nice. As usual we arrive early to get a drink at the bar. I had the Tamba Tini, then the Clover Club, then another Tamba Tini. Carol had 2 Thandai Coladas. The Gibson Pearl onions with the Tini were delicious. Uber is a must. Once we were seated we ordered our second and third drinks plus the mix of naans with Chutney. As an appetizer we ordered the Kimchi Butter Grilled Oysters. They were absolute flavor bombs. For dinner I had the Lamb Chops since Carol will never make lamb for me. Carol had the fire roasted baby eggplant curry with rice. Dessert was some sorbet and a cheese dumpling. Overall fantastic experience, great bar, tremendous service. We will be back. read more

I wanted to eat somewhere close to tmobile that was also a bit nicer because it was a special date night. I had only heard amazing things about Tamba and was excited they had availability. Upon walking it had a very refined almost scholarly vibe to it. The color palate was various shades of tan, as if wanting to be a backdrop not competing with the vibrant food that was about to be presented to us. The seating area was at first not super busy because we had a very early reservation at 530p so we would be on time for a concert, but it did fill in completely by the time we left. We got the tamarind hamachi crudo, goat cheese naan, lasooni lamb chops, banana leaf sea bass, and mango yuzu rasmalai. The sea bass especially blew my mind. Perfectly cooked, so many different sauces and flavors, but all working harmoniously. The puree beside it with edamame on top was one of the most creamy smooth purees I have ever had. The lamb was super tender without being overly pink and chewy. It was also served beside several sauces to swirl it in, and a light side salad that was kind of like a slaw but not a creamy one. The hamachi was super light and refreshing hiding thinly sliced pear and they poured the tamarind sauce table side. The naan with togarashi sounded more exciting than it was, the togarashi didn't really make itself known and maybe if it had been infused in like an oil or butter and brushed over the goat cheese it would have felt a bit more impactful. The mango yuzu rasmalai was like a hidden treasure just peaking out at the top hiding all the interesting layers below. I appreciated they had non alcoholic drink options. I feel calling them mocktails is a bit of a stretch. My fiance got the coke infused with cinnamon, I got a drink that was basically a fancy Arnold palmer with limeade and chai tea. Some of the other options were more traditional like a lassi. I also go their chai tea to follow my dessert, it was a beautiful but a bit to sweet and lacking as much spice as I had hoped. My only complaint with the space itself is that they burn incense at the entrance, and for me who is someone with scent sensitivity, that is not my favorite experience in a restaurant. I just want to smell food, and not have my hair smell like a fragrance when I leave. I mentioned both this and my thoughts on the chai through Instagram when they messaged me about my pictures I had posted and they were very gracious and welcoming of any way the experience could improve. I think that is an amazing trait in a business. In the end the meal was still beyond amazing despite two tiny critiques. read more

This is elevated Indian infused with Japanese influence. Everything was amazing! We started with tamarind spiced hamachi served with a ponzu sauce. Every bite was heavenly , flavors balancing perfectly. Lasooni lamb chops -- amazingly tender, cooked to perfection lamb chops. The dry spice rub was so flavorful! Tawa charred octopus -- nice smokiness from the charring with wonderful flavor sauces. Super tender and all the flavors and texture melded perfectly. Bhuna Gobi -- roasted purple cauliflower with coconut curry and broccoli puree. So yummy! Everything about this experience was exceptional from the impeccable service to the beautifully presented dishes. Absolutely worth a visit! read more

Tamba has been on the list of places I wanted to try for a long time. Heard so many good things from friends and they did not disappoint! First of all the drinks are out of this world! They have an extensive menu of cocktails. It took us a while to go through the whole entire menu. I decided on their pink rose drink, which is made with condensed milk. It was 10 out of 10 very sweet and fragrant. For the food, my friends and I shared bought a chicken, octopus, side of tenons, and filet mignon biryani every dish was delicious. For dessert we had the last thing on the menu which our waiter described as their take of funnel cake. I didn't really know what I was eating TBH however it was tasty and very fragrant. The ambience was elegant and elevated. The seats were spacious. The service was excellent. The only thing I would comment is that there were so many times the waitresses and waiters came up to our table to clear the table while we were still working on our food. Definitely on my list of places to come back. I can't wait to try more dishes and more cocktails in the near future. read more

If you love Gymkhana-type restaurants, you'll love Tamba. To me, it's as if Gymkhana and Nobu had a baby. This is modern Indian fusion, done right. The menu can be a little overwhelming at first, but the amazing waitstaff and GM helped us choose a great 'tasting menu' of sorts. We ended up trying: Pomelo salad: 5/5, wow! Masala butter oysters: 5/5 Tamarind hamachi: 4/5 Ajwaini black cod: 5/5 Tawa charred octopus: 5/5 Pahadi Paneer: 5/5 Butter chicken: 4/5 Lobster green curry: 3/5 Exotic bread basket: 5/5 Excellent food, delectable flavors. The som also helped us pick out a great bottle of red to accompany. The interior is beautifully decorated with plush seating with soft lighting, perfect for a date night or girls' night. I can definitely see why they were a James Beard Finalist. Their GM, Olivier (?) is a star at his job. Looking forward to coming back and trying more dishes. read more

i came here for a friend's birthday and hadn't heard of tamba before but i was pleasantly surprised! :) we tried a couple dishes: samosas chaat, lobster fried rice, fire-roasted baby baingan, jidori butter chicken, and the exotic bread basket! my favorite was the samosas chaat! loved the sauce it came with and the chickpeas the decor was beautiful although it does get a bit loud, sometimes was hard to hear each other/our server service was very nice, i was surprised that we were given new plates when the entree came in and the table was wiped cleaned in between as well :0 they also packaged our leftovers for us and we were given a ticket to pick it up with the hostess. they were super kind to give a complimentary crispy rice and ice cream since it was my friend's birthday will definitely come back since i had someone recommend i try the fish curry! :D read more

Came here for girls' night and absolutely loved every single dish. Our tall American server (working around 7:15 PM yesterday) did an amazing job introducing the menu and recommending the most popular items. Our favorite drinks were the spicy, nutty margarita-inspired cocktail, the chai espresso martini, the green apple cocktail, and the unique passionfruit drink served with champagne on the side to pour in yourself. The standout dishes were the lobster green curry, the hibachi wrapped around a fresh pear, and the pomelo salad, which was incredibly fresh with generous portions. The owner even stopped by to watch our reactions as we tried his food, which was such a thoughtful touch. Our server also quietly re-folded our napkins whenever we stepped away from the table, making the whole experience feel extra special. We'll absolutely be back! read more

One of my 2025-2026 favorites!! I was never really a fan of Indian food before but this is so elevated, you can't help but appreciate the various flavors and attention to detail. Keep in mind this is more of a fusion restaurant. My favorites have been: lemongrass fish tikka, the tawa charred octopus, pahadi paneer, amongst many others. Tamba falls into the fine dining category and service and ambiance definitely follow that. I can't say enough good things about it. read more

My favorite restaurant in Las Vegas--no question. Every time I'm in town, it's a must-stop. Service is fantastic our waiters are always to elaborate on explaining the menu . The ambiance aesthetic alone is unreal (I'd move in if I could ), but the food truly seals the deal. Every dish is beautifully presented and packed with flavor, and the drinks are just as creative as they are delicious. 10/10 across the board. read more

The restaurant is absolutely aesthetically pleasing combining both luxury and simplicity. The service matched the ambiance well. The dishes were cleared and brand new plates were set between every course without missing a beat. For appetizers, we started with the pomelo salad and the artichoke sashimi. Both were really subtle which made them ideal openers hence appetizers. The pomelo salad is the move if you're into something bright and tangy and the artichoke sashimi is the more savory, both worth ordering. The banana leaf sea bass was a standout, and I say that as someone who doesn't typically gravitate toward seafood. It had none of that heavy ocean taste. The butter chicken, though, was the highlight of my night. The texture, the creaminess, the perfectly cooked chicken was just flat-out excellent. My only con would probably be the portion size because it left me wanting more. Lastly, because it came a little late the exotic bread basket. It genuinely should have led the table. Once I got done with the bread basket, I realize the portioning size was just right and enough. read more

Invited! Stepped out on an invitation and a time was had!.Tamba owes us nothing! Parking varies, depending on time of day. Metered parking out front ends about 7 so that option exists as well as covered garage parking near by. Both are handicap accessible with a little walk. The restroom is spacious and handicap accessible. We were seated in prime location. The ambiance again is delightfully enjoyable. The lighting is easy and the seats are comfortable. I do not recall if music is playing but if so it wasn't disruptive but I believe the sound of the customers engaging was the best thing. Lex our server showcased her talent with grace. She was attentive, she made suggestions if asked, she did a temp check of how close or far to be. She was on point each time. She worked with a team of all hands on deck and as a customer service person, this makes or breaks the experience. Any person that pass your table will assist you or remove an empty plate. Yass! Food and beverages alike were made to order and were refreshing and delicious We ordered two appetizers: oysters & yellowfin tuna, Naan bread brush with sauce options (chutney dipping sauce is great but not on the menu), banana leaf wrapped Chilean sea bass and blessed with a magi sorbet. Wow! Chocolates served on a platter was the kiss goodnight! We enjoyed every bite. The pricing was right for the meal. Oliver, Anna and Shana was the supporting staff and it was fun. Until this evening, only my husband had escorted me back to my seat but in honor of my birthday, I received just that! Exceptional hospitality!! Delicious food! ...6 stars read more

I had a work dinner here this week and had a lovely experience! Ambiance - I loved that the space felt warm with the plush couch seating, to the stone textures throughout the space. They carried that to the plates and gold cutlery. Service - Jasmine was our server. She was AMAZING! A kind spirit and was very attentive and aware when it came to approaching the menu. Especially, with me being the only vegan in our party. She made sure I got to enjoy the food just as much as the team. I really appreciated that! Food - Everything was flavorful and had depths to it. Very savory and you could appreciate the warm spices. They took their time with each item and it showed in the best way. Overall, this is an elevated, fine dining experience for Indian food. I would definitely go here again for a special occasion! 5/5 stars read more

Had such an amazing time celebrating my friend's birthday!! Shout out to the restaurant team for working with us, we had a couple logistics issues re: group size and tables needed Brian and Alan have the best service and can't wait to go again. Now let's talk about the food, everything we had was fabulous except for the butter chicken lol we had the oysters, hamachi, and the tuna to start..sooooooo goooood. The truffle and the samosas were also a treat! I totally recommend the Murgh Jidori, I don't even really like chicken but dang, it was cooked to perfection. The restaurant itself was cute, very clean and loved the contemporary design. Only thing was there's only a one-person space for the girls restroom vs the guys restroom had space for multiple people. read more

My girlfriend got us a reservation here for Valentine's, and this has become our newest favorite restaurant ever. This is the kind of restaurant that we would visit in another city and would come back to that city just to eat there again. How convenient that this is a mere 15 minute drive away from home! Located in Town Square, there is plenty of parking available, and the restaurant itself is very classy and offers a variety of seating available for any party. The service was fantastic - they're the kind of people who know that menu and restaurant inside out and look like they love to be there. For food, we had to get the items that were a must for first-timers! For drinks, we got the Magic Elephant (a spicy fun drink for tequila girls) and the Crown Lassi Luxe (a sweet and dangerous drink). We ordered the Kimchi Butter Oysters, and they changed our lives (we couldn't stop thinking about them for days). We ordered the Banana Leaf Seabass and the Fire Roasted Bany Baingan with basmati rice and garlic cilantro naan. Amazing food, truly. Delicious and savory! So excited to come back to try more dishes. For dessert, we ordered the Jangiri Crunch, and it was a great experience being able to open new doors in the food world for me. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Vegas, including both Strip and off-Strip spots. The service is exceptional and attentive, but not hovering. They remember preferences from prior dining experiences, including favorite tables and will try to accommodate those every time. The cocktail program alone is worth a trip, but then you add in the food menu and it's a place that you can't afford to miss if you enjoy excellent meals. I have yet to have anything on the menu that I did not like, and recommend everyone orders based on ingredients they are interested in having that evening. This is a restaurant serving so many dishes you won't find anywhere else, and if you do they aren't done with the quality of ingredients and precision that Tamba does. And no, I am not being paid to write this. I just love this place THAT much. Some stars from my trips (*** = I always order): Drinks: Priya's Breakfast***, Ready Fire Aim, Earl Grey Mar-Tea-Ni, and Chai-rajillo Exotic Bread Basket *** Pomelo Salad Broccoli Caesar *** Artichoke Sashimi Kimchi Butter Oysters *** Samosa Chaat *** Saffron Afghani Paneer Lasooni Lamb Chop *** Tawa Charred Octopus Banana Leaf Sea Bass *** Jidori Butter Chicken *** Lobster Green Curry Keema Biryani I definitely recommend going to this place with at least four to six people. It gives everyone a chance to try everything, without having to commit to a single dish. Also, the menu has items that will satisfy every palate and diet. read more

What can I say about Tamba that hasn't already been mentioned in the other 5-star reviews? I mean, Tamba is simply excellence realized. From the time we walked in (on 1/24/26) until the time we left, everything we saw, smelled, ate, and drank was just excellent. The amuse bouche of Tamba's version of crispy rice and tuna - excellent. The appetizers of Tamarind Spiced Hamachi and salad with pomelo - excellent. The supremely tender and flavorful lamb chops, vegetable biryani, Butter Chicken, Exotic Bread Basket with the most lovely assortment of naan breads - EXCELLENT! I unfortunately can no longer recall what we got for dessert, but it was so incredibly interesting and beautifully plated. I think Tamba is best enjoyed with friends so you can order more items from their menu. Our party of 4 got to try something from almost every section from the menu but there was so much more we wanted to try, which will definitely happen on our next visit. 10/10 recommend!! read more

This is a very nice upscale Indian restaurant in Town Square Mall. They have a good mix of traditional Indian and fusion dishes.

She made excellent wine recommendations and even let me try a couple so I could choose what I loved :) read more

We came here to celebrate a girlfriend's birthday and the vibes were everything. The restaurant has a modern, subtle atmosphere that's a little dark, but it works perfectly for the mood. The booths and chairs are super cute, though definitely on the heavy side if you need to scoot in. We had a table for eight and arrived a few minutes late, but the staff was very accommodating. Once seated, our waiter greeted us quickly and got our drink orders started right away. After going through the menu, we decided to order family style, which is truly the best way to go with a big group. We loved being able to try a little bit of everything. The food itself was absolutely delicious. That said, the wait times between courses were pretty long. I understand pacing out dishes, but the gaps felt a bit extended. For reference, we sat down at 6:45 pm and didn't leave until around 10:45 pm. There was a lot of waiting, but thankfully we had great company, so the time passed more easily. All of the dishes were flavorful, and even though it seemed like a lot of food, it was the perfect amount for eight people. The only slight letdown for us was dessert, which didn't quite live up to the rest of the meal. Maybe it was just our picks. Overall, it was a great experience and I'd definitely come back. read more

I took a couple friends here for a birthday dinner last night and I really enjoyed this restaurant. Tamba is a new upscale & modern Indian restaurant at Town Square with dishes ranging from the $20 - $40. A stand out was the customer service and knowledge from our main server. He was honest about recommendations and about things he didn't love which I appreciated. I don't remember his name but he had kind of long -ish thick full hair and facial hair. I also loved their cocktail menu, really thoughtful way they were organized and described in the menu plus beautiful and delicious. The mocktails were also great. For food we did the pomelo salad, samosa chaat, the eggplant and tofu stir fry, a daal curry, and the butter chicken. I loved all the dishes and to my surprise the samosa chaat and the daal curry were my favorites and they were vegan. Everything was flavorful and beautiful. I have had Indian food many times locally but this was unlike anything I've ever had. The pomelo salad was also a standout. I did love the jidori chicken in the butter chicken but the sauce itself was not special, good but not mind blowing. The chicken was unbelievably tender though. We skipped dessert. Overall I'd give it 5 stars. Service was impressive, someone brought out a gluten free item we had to go and asked if we wanted it separate in case there was a gluten allergy. I thought that was above and beyond. And last I will leave with some very minor feedback or just thoughts. I noticed the starters weren't piping hot when they were served which I think would have made the food even better, specifically the samosa chaat dish. I say that because the mains or curries and rice came piping piping hot and were so good. Not a big deal or a dal breaker just something I noticed. And last, I don't love the entrance of the restaurant. That reception space with the hostess is a miss for me for the vibe. Also, the main room where the bar is, on the left side, that wall is empty and it feels out of place or flat if you want to take pictures. read more

Tried Tamba for the first rime tonight. Very unique experience! I'll start with the decor - nothing fancy or over the top, but feels modern, oriental, subtle, really nice. Our server was nice and professional. The food was good - I'd say it's more like asian fusion with an Indian touch. Loved most dishes, though my friends disliked the desert. Overall: 8/10. read more

Came to celebrate the Bears victory over the hated Pack on a Saturday night. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and had a DJ playing Indian Techno (a little louder than my old self would like). The servers did a good job of keeping our drinks full, answering questions, and checking on us. We ordered the garlic cilantro naan (2 pieces per order), artichoke sashimi, butter chicken, and goat curry. Everything was definitely good! Not sure it was better than what we have been served at Clove at a cheaper price point. If you are looking for more exotic dishes not offered elsewhere, I would definitely recommend giving this place a visit! I'm looking forward to returning to try the lobster curry and/or rice dishes. read more

Party of four for dinner at TAMBA in Town Square Las Vegas! Indian flavors with other Asian influences. Chic interior. Excellent customer service. Beverages were delicious, which they call "The Secret Elixirs of the Maharaja." Food was outstanding! What a treat and I cannot wait to return!! We were immediately served an amuse-bouche to awaken our palate! I love this already!! I love to drink lassi's and discovered their elixir menu had one called "Crown Lassi Luxe." Excellent, excellent, excellent!! Served like a whiskey, yet looked like a girly drink. Either way, this adult beverage lassi was delicious! My top favorite dish of the night was the Kimchi Butter Oysters! I'm drooling as a write this! Spectacular combination of textures and flavors!! We actually ordered everything our server recommended: Kimchi Butter Oysters, Banana Leaf Sea Bass, Black Pepper Beef, Butter Chicken Curry, Fire Roasted Baby Baingan (Eggplant), and Exotic Naan Bread Basket! Could probably do without the eggplant dish in the future, but everything else was simply amazing! Had a couple of after-dinner drinks. I love the simplicity of their Chai Tea!! Free parking in the nearby parking structure. Always a lovely walk around Town Square! Cant wait for my return visit to Tamba! read more

We went to TAMBA at Town Square earlier on a Friday evening, and it was busy--which felt fitting given the experience. The inside is absolutely stunning. There's nothing quite like it in Vegas, and even compared to the Strip, it stands out. The vibe genuinely reminded me of the London dining scene--elevated and stylish. Even some nice restaurants don't quite capture that feeling, but TAMBA absolutely can. The service was amazing. Every person we interacted with was on top of their game--attentive, polished, and professional without being stiff. You can tell they take service seriously and are aiming for a high standard. We ordered many items and thoroughly enjoyed everything. There wasn't a miss, even if there were dishes we personally liked more than others. The food quality across the board was excellent. A couple of important notes to mention, especially given the caliber TAMBA is striving for: * We did find a hair in one of our dishes. While this can happen anywhere, it felt worth noting given how elevated the overall experience is. * When we ordered dessert, there were no prices listed on the dessert menu, which could be more transparent. * Be prepared: this restaurant is on the pricier side, more than I would typically prefer, so it feels best suited for a special occasion rather than a casual night out. * The tables are close together, which could feel cozy or cramped depending on your preference. Overall, TAMBA delivers a beautiful space, top-tier service, and consistently strong food. This is easily a standout dining destination in Vegas as a whole. read more

Amazing service! Adam and Jasmin are outstanding servers, and Anna, whom we believe is the restaurant manager, made a casual Father's Day celebration truly memorable. The first time we visited, Adam was our server, and this time Jasmin took great care of us, but Anna was there on both occasions making sure everything was perfect and that we felt genuinely welcomed. The food was absolutely exceptional, worthy of a James Beard Award, and the hospitality was just as impressive. Every dish was beautifully prepared, flavorful, and served with great attention to detail. Combined with the warm, attentive service, it created an unforgettable dining experience. We will definitely be returning and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for outstanding food and first class hospitality.

The presentation of the food was beautiful, but unfortunately that is where the experience ended. Every single dish we received was cold--not just one or two dishes, but every dish. We specifically told our waiter that our only concern was having the food served hot. We were assured that the kitchen would take care of it, yet the food still arrived cold. We were told the chef is award-winning, which makes this even more disappointing. No matter how creative the presentation may be, serving food at the proper temperature is one of the most basic expectations of any restaurant. For a restaurant charging premium prices, this was simply unacceptable. Beautiful presentation cannot make up for cold food. A great dining experience begins with getting the basics right, and unfortunately that did not happen during our visit. The stars are for service and ambience. read more

We had an incredible dinner. I've had Indian food many times but never like this. The chef really elevated the experience here and the service was top notch. (shout out to our waitress from Sunday night-- in the tan suit) The cauliflower was my favorite - the way the flavors all came together. I would definitely get that again. The presentation was gorgeous and I loved the sauces that came on each plate. I typically like the flavors on appetizers more than the main dishes. I got the butter chicken - which was creamy and flavorful, but next time I'll opt for the fish curry. Get the warm MLP drink - perfect after dinner cocktail. read more

Dined here for my partner's birthday. I heard a lot of rave reviews about this place so I was curious to try it. Honestly, we were underwhelmed. The service was very attentive, but we weren't crazy impressed with the food for a James Beard semifinalist. We got the murgh jidori (chicken), ajwaini black cod, and fire-roasted baby baingan (eggplant) as well as naan and a lassi drink. The jidori was tough and sort of dry. The black cod appetizer was tender and the eggplant dish was flavorful. Were they worth it for the prices? Probably not. We were also kind of annoyed that the servers kept pushing us to get alcoholic drinks because neither me nor my partner drink like that. Get reservations because after 6pm on a random Tuesday, the place got wildly packed very fast. read more

Some might say they're the bomb-a. For the most part, they'd be right. Tamba is a "contemporary Indian" restaurant making waves in foodie circles. Located in easily accessible Town Square and also quite close to the free South Garage of that outdoor mall, their unassuming exterior holds a seemingly well-oiled machine closing in on their one-year anniversary. Despite all the hype, I was easily able to book a same-day reservation for two (15 min grace period, FYI) on a weeknight, and it wasn't all that crowded when we were there. The host asked us to wait in the waiting area for a bit then seated us quickly enough. "What the heck is contemporary Indian?" you might ask. I interpret it as analogous to new American, where they borrow a lot from other cuisines but also represent the base Indian flavors and ingredients strongly. With that in mind, as well as having heard various glowing podcasts and reviews, my friend and I went family-style and simply picked out a few things which we thought would be interesting. West Indian Rumble ($20.00, same price as all their cocktails): a promising mix of Flor De Caña Extra Dry rum, fresh blackberry, lemon, dried ginger, and allspice. I noticed an oddly stratified top layer of uncolored liquid and stirred the drink carefully before really getting into it. I loved the strong hits of rich blackberry and allspice. The lemon and ginger may have landed more subtly, but thank goodness it wasn't just a ginger bomb. Garlic Cilantro Naan ($6.00) and Trio of Chutneys ($6.00): a solid appetizer-like pairing. The naan is pretty standard fare, but I really liked the vibrant chutneys. The mint was great, the mango was sweet and lightly spicy, and the tamarind was intense and at least medium in heat. Tawa Charred Octopus ($39.00): pricey but absolutely magnificent. Very meaty tentacles with light char and sweetness from orange glaze and eel sauce. The glazed fennel was great and minimally anise-y. The beet was nice and juicy. I would've loved just a touch more yuzu lime aioli available around the plate. Banana Leaf Seabass ($42.00): great flaky execution of seabass that does almost work on its own due to warm spices and whatever was in that addictive kerala sauce. But then you have to get into the truffle celeriac puree (with edamame for some intangible reason, but it works too), which delivers a punch of black truffle in every silky bite. The stingy portioning of "creamy citric lime" sauce was even more obvious here as it needed a relatively high portion of sauce to fish to make the lime kick evident. When I made that happened, it was a party in my mouth. Pahadi Paneer ($28.00): a vegetarian curry with a side of basmati included. The curry was not really that potent or memorable, and the basmati again proves to be an inferior rice to jasmine as it just came out a tad bit dry. Naan may be a better accompaniment to the curry and paneer, but I found myself also wishing that the paneer was a bit firmer and therefore meatier. Jangiri Crunch ($20.00): our consensus choice for one dessert after asking a server and noting that it had the most Yelp photos of all the desserts. Although that funnel cake-esque thing looks like it should be a centerpiece, you should treat it like a crouton as you try to combine bites of the kaffir lime ice cream, coconut pak, and passionfruit mousse. There's a bit of a kids breakfast cereal and milk resemblance when you get just the ice cream and crispy jalebi in a bite too. I did find that the kaffir lime flavor was most intense in the first bite, so perhaps they should make it more of a sorbet or at least sherbet to preserve the kaffir intensity? That aside, still a great dessert overall. Complimentary dessert chocolate: actually another memorable bite, studded below with some aniseed and something colorful. The anise crunch and flavor somehow worked with that dark chocolate goodness. If you don't get a separate dessert, you may not regret it. The interior was nicely backlit and full of warm brown colors. The chairs were comfy. The music seemed culturally appropriate and stayed at a low-enough volume that people's voices stayed in the medium range. The table lamps provide enough light, and they actually have three brightness options which you may wanna swap between for food photos. Tamba is simply a must-try restaurant. I would skip just the Pahadi Paneer unless you really feel like you'll love it, but almost everything else in my meal was impressive. read more

Is Tamba high end? For sure. The dishes offered in the menu are very modern. The service is impeccable. The location is great. Though the server explaining every dish in detail I think is an overkill. If you want authentic Indian, don't come here. I was not disappointed with the food, they're very good. I'm disappointed with the mango lassi as it seems diluted without much flavor (better to get this at traditional Indian restaurant). I'll recommend this place probably on a date night. read more

I've heard nothing but great things about Tamba and I'm so happy I got to experience this amazing dining experience for myself. I went for my birthday and I knew from looking at the menu the lamb chops were calling my name. We started with the oysters (spicy) but they were some of the best oysters I've had. It's been 12 days and I'm still thinking about those oysters. We also had the lamb chops, chicken masala, rice, and bread. Everything was perfection. The waiter was one of the best waiters I've had. He explained everything on the menu in great detail. He suggested drinks and food that were the top selected at the restaurant. The restaurant was beautifully decorated. There was nice music playing. This would be a great place to go for dinner before a night out or a special occasion. It fits every occasion. I can't wait to come back. Dreaming about it as I type. read more
