Tamarind TriBeCa

It’s impossible to ignore the soaring space of Tamarind (at a splendid 11,000 square feet), a fine dining hub in swanky Tribeca. The considerable interior gives way to prime vantage points, be it a mezzanine-level view of the dining room or the chance to nestle into a surprisingly intimate booth on the ground floor. The impressively affordable Executive Lunch menu, featuring flavors from Hyderabad to Goa, may command your initial attention, but there are more prospects to discover, such as the nearly dozen offerings from their tandoor oven, from marinated prawns and Chilean sea bass to venison chops marinated in hung yogurt. Intriguing vegetarian specialties include Kalaikkose Pirattal, a dish of brussels sprout, dessicated coconut, and Tamilian spices.
