Tamarind Thai Cuisine

I work near Tamarind and decided to try it as it was one of the only close Thai places that have my favorite Thai dish - Spicy Eggplant. While I somehow had to pay extra for the eggplant and they only had ground pork, overall it had a great spicy sauce and the portion was enough (for me) for three meals. I am excited to go back and try some of their curries. The only complaint I have is that their hours vary (I'm assuming for staffing issues) so you don't know exactly what time they may open, but I enjoyed the food.

I don't give five stars unless an epic experience. Like having Shawarma in a busy PLO cafe where no one spoke english, surrounded by posters of Yasser Arofat...that being said, this is my go-to Thai in Arden. Food is good, never disappoints. I actually have 3 go-to places in the surrounding area, subtle differences, just enough to keep me going to each. Here, their fresh rolls with peanut sauce I order every time. Thai basil with eggplant and green curry are good, too. Short staffed of late, but so is everyone else. It was worth our wait.

Right by the Ashville airport, tucked away in a little shopping center. The food was phenomenal, service was incredible, atmosphere was awesome, and unfortunately we were the only ones in the restaurant. Stop living in fear, stop being scared and let us all resume life. It's a virus, that yes it is contagious, but if you have no underlying health issues you are more likely to be killed by a drunk driver. Last time I checked not only is drinking legal but it is deemed essential. Please support locally owned restaurants, they need your help during these hard times. Sure it's easier and cheaper to visit one of the chain restaurants, but they don't need your help. And apologies to Tamarind, I normally take more photos. I will be back soon and will take some more. I am dying to try the duck.

We have eaten at several Thai restaurants but here all the dishes were exquisite. The flavors were perfectly balanced with matching undertones of lemonleaf and other herbs. The chili sugarsnap peas with lemon leaf was unique and delicious! The sweet and sour chicken will come in my dreams, I think. Also the sweet and spicy chicken wings and Tom Kha is a must try!

I gave it 5 stars because I keep coming back here for the unique flavors. No thick gooey sauces just perfectly blended spices. Service is always fabulous, place is dark, I relax here. Tucked away from the main highway next to a Cracker Barrel in a small shopping center. Good selection of beer and wine. Looking forward to the next time. Try the fresh ginger vegetables. Amazing.
