About us-
The Tamarind Collection owns and operates four restaurants in London along with a division of Tamarind Events Catering.
The group was established in 1995 with the opening of Tamarind restaurant in Mayfair, which was the first fine dining Indian restaurant in the world to receive a Michelin star. Currently Tamarind of Mayfair remains as one of only six Indian restaurants to hold the accolade.
The second restaurant in the group that marked further expansion was Imli in Soho, London (2005). In February 2013 Imli was re-branded and now offers Indian street food served in a chic and stylish environment.
Due to open in March, One Kensington will offer local and destination clientele a superb new space in which to enjoy all day dining or to simply socialise with friends or colleagues in stylish but convivial surroundings. Guests will be able to visit at any time, whether it’s for a leisurely breakfast, a timely lunch, afternoon tea, a romantic dinner or simply a glass of champagne overlooking Kensington Palace Gardens.
The group also diversified into Tamarind Events and our successful outside catering operation has served high profile clients including Asia House, Grant Thornton. Tamarind Events are the preferred Indian caterer at number of prestigious venues in the UK, including Lords Cricket Ground, English Heritage and the Science Museum.
Over the years the Tamarind Collection’s fundamental philosophy has remained unchanged; to prepare exquisite food and that is coupled with service that is approachable and unobtrusive in stylish environments.
