Tamarind Of London Celebrates Dads with Father’s Day Menu

Ever since my business trip to India, I’ve grown to appreciate great Indian food.  One place I can do this is at Tamarind of London in Newport Beach. It is known for its diverse menu offering a wide range of items suitable for every occasion, mood, appetite and palate. Right now is a good time to visit because Tamarind of London wants to make Dads feel appreciated this Father’s Day with a new and  special lunch and dinner Father’s Day menu.

Along with the Father’s Day menu, Tamarind is upping it up another notch in June with a Eat (Red) Drink (Red) Save Lives offerings. They have joined the (RED) campaign, a non-profit Organization which dedicates to fight AIDS, by offering a RED cocktail and a RED Dessert with 100% of the proceeds going directly to  the (RED).  Along with the non-alchoholic Strawberry Mojito above you can see the RED Rose Petal Martini on the right. I don’t usually like martinis, but this one was very refreshing and tasty.

Wendy and I started the Father’s Day menu with Appetizers. Of the three offered the one above is a Aloo Tikki & Masala All/Potato Duo which consists of a grilled potato cake with cumin and ginger and a spiced potato croquette with some smoked tomato chutney sauce.

Another appetizer is the Lamb Seekh Kebab/Tandoori Lamb. It features skewered ground lamb kebab on masala mashed potatoes.

Our personal favorite was the very tasty Lassen Jhinga/Tandoori Grilled Prawns. So delicious and cooked perfectly in the traditional oven with a garlic and nigella seed marinade and basil salad.

All of the main courses are served with Dal Makhni/Black Lentils, Palak Paneer/Spinach & Cottage Cheese, and a choice of Tandoori Bread (get the garlic!) and Jasmine rice.

If that wasn’t enough food we now got to try two of the three main courses on the Father’s Day Menu.

The first was the Subzi Kofta/Vegetable Dumplings. They are simmered in a rich onion sauce with sautéed kale. Simply delicious!

The second main dish presented was Dakshini Macchi/Coconut Fish Curry. The fish is according to availability, on this particular night, it was Seabass, simmered in a ginger and coconut milk sauce. Everyone knows I love curry and this dish so hit the spot.

The third choice that you can select is a Murgh Tikka Masala/Chicken Tikka Masala which is a tandoor grilled chicken breast in makhni sauce and sautéed onions. We’ve had this dish many times before and is one of our absolute favorite!

Of course they didn’t forget dessert for dads! On this menu it is a Chocolate Samosas filled with white and dark chocolate and served with a trio of sauces. However, in honor of the RED Campaign, we decided to try the dessert from the RED menu.

The RED Velvet Cake was was fantastic. Not overly sweet with the white chocolate and strawberries made for a perfect ending to a great meal.

A big thank you  to everyone at Tamarind of London for giving us the opportunity to taste and experience their awesome Father’s Day and RED menu items.

Do you have an amazing dad like we do? Don’t forget to show him how much you love and appreciate him with a delicious dinner at Tamarind!
