Tamarind Tree Thai

This tiny Thai restaurant serves the typical selection of Thai food and some specials such as Barramundi Basil stir fry. Its very cosy, only a few tables indoors and outdoors. Its located in a very busy strip with lots of other restaurants nearby (some of them with fantastic reviews). The service was ok, not particularly friendly but nothing to complain about. The starters were great, tasted well, generous portions. Very hot though (and we do love spicy food). The main meals were quite average. Large portions but just not spiced very well and so many onions in the veggies. We like onions but that was over the top, big chunks of onions and lots of them. Overall it was an ok dining experience, classic four star restaurant. Parking a bit tricky on main road if you’re lucky.

Red Duck Curry was absolutely delicious, so full of flavour and no skimping on any ingredients. Soft shell Black Pepper Crab was yummo, so fresh and tasty. For entrees the fried prawn crackers and chilli jam was HUGE so beware what you order - a good starter & fish cakes as an entree had the most delicious aftertaste. I ended up bringing home half of the crab and the coconut rice but that will make for a tasty lunch. Totally recommend this little restaurant, the location is lovely and service extremely good. A genuine little surprise as we are locals and have been disappointed by Thai Restaurants so often in the area, this is a "go to" now for both of us. Thanks Tamarind Tree! Jim & Julie
