Welcome to The Tamarind
As real food lovers, it's our passion to get people to fall in love with food. We are committed to bring the authenticity of South Indian cuisine to Marlborough, using the freshest New Zealand produce alongside genuine Kerala spices.
Authentic South Indian Cuisine
Our dishes are inspired by the 4 South Indian states, mainly Kerala — the "Land of Spices." You'll enjoy the beautiful blend of distinctive spices in every dish, from rich biryanis to crispy dosas.
Land of Spices
At The Tamarind, we import handpicked spices directly from Kerala to preserve the authenticity of every dish. Each ingredient tells a story of tradition, culture, and flavour.
Whether you're looking for the vibrant heat of a Kozhikodan Biryani or the comforting subtlety of a Kerala Stew, our menu maps the diverse culinary regions of South India, transporting you halfway across the world with just one bite.
