The Tamarind restaurant is an Indian restaurant in Mayfair, London, opened in 1995. The restaurant was founded by businessmen Vipin Khanna and his youngest son, Aditya Khanna.[2][3] It won a Michelin star in 2001, the first Indian restaurant to do so.[4][5] The Michelin star was won under then chef, Atul Kochhar.[6] Jonathan Gold, in the Los Angeles Times, wrote that he had been impressed by its "frank attempt to produce Indian food with the sheen and polish of white-tablecloth European cuisine", though he chiefly recalled "the wine list, the flowers, and the cost."[7] The Michelin Guide described the food and menu as "extensive à la carte of generous dishes perfect for sharing, with a selection of small plates like Rajasthani churi chaat to start, and a good selection of curries and biryanis for the main course."[8] In 2023, Tamarind was featured in an article published by Tatler on "The most outstanding Indian restaurants in London".[9]
