Tamarind Tales Menu

1 min read

Tamarind Tales is a South Indian restaurant at 17 Prince of Wales Road in central Norwich. The dining room serves lunch and dinner, with a menu that gives Kerala dishes a prominent place rather than relying only on the curry house standards familiar across Britain.

Dosa is an important section, served with sambar and house chutneys in plain, ghee roast, masala, egg and paneer variations. Starters such as uzhunnu vada, banana fritters, aubergine fry and onion bhaji explore lentils, rice flour, vegetables and carefully layered spice.

The main selection includes Kerala style beef ularthiyathu, fish moiley and nadan chicken curry alongside more familiar korma and vindaloo choices. Chicken, mutton, beef, prawn, egg and vegetable biryani provide substantial rice dishes, while coconut rice and lemon rice add distinctive accompaniments.

Vegetarian diners have a broad choice across snacks, dosa, curries and biryani, and seafood adds another strong thread to the menu. Table reservations, a central location and delivery service allow Tamarind Tales to work equally well for a relaxed meal or a South Indian dinner enjoyed at home.

Address: 17 Prince of Wales Road, Norwich NR1 1BD, England
