Awesome lunch buffet
by googer
I try to get here just about every week for the lunch buffet, where, as has been noted in other reviews, the food is highly varied and inspired, with numerous offerings that aren't on the regular (but still very good) dinner menu. The fact that it's so reasonably priced ($6.99 on weekdays, $8.99 on weekends with a bit more variety yet) certainly doesn't hurt matters either. The only negative such as it is would be that they don't take American Express. ;)
- Pros: Superb food, outstanding service, great value

Best Indian in Pittsburgh
by abqfornow
I've been to Indian restaurants all over the US and Tamarind is up there with the best of them. It's my understanding that the young Indian guys who own and run it are a bunch of IT professionals who pooled their resources to hire a top-quality chef from India and set up this little place. The food is fresh and authentic and when the chef is doing his own thing on the lunch buffet, unrestricted by the good but more conventional dinner menu, it is often down-right inspired. (His pumpkin curry and vegetable biryani are amazing). Don't let the location (out in a strip mall in the Greentree suburbs) keep you from trying this place. It's well worth the trip.
- Pros: Excellent, authentic food; clean; prompt, no-nonsense service

Excellent food, great prices
by lyntiria
Tamarind has an excellent lunch buffet, with fresh, hot food, and a great variety of meat-filled and meatless dishes. In addition, they serve a sweet mango nectar juice that provides a dessert-like treat while dining. The food is perfectly spicy, and if you mix some of the spicier dishes with some of the cool condiments at the beginning of the buffet, it will soften the spice a bit (but I like spice)! The service is excellent. Water is constantly provided, and the price of the buffet is very reasonable for the large selection of foods. I was amazed at how freshly-made everything tasted.
- Pros: Exceptional food, excellent price, great service
