    I opted for the meal for £12 pounds and the quantity is quite good and filling for an individual. The staff are friendly and nice and the decoration is very lively and funky. Great place to dine with your family and friends

    An excellent Indian food restaurant. The good is so yummy and the staff are really friendly. The place could be very crowded at times, but the food there is worth waiting for.

    Great place and brilliant food and service. We were greeted at the door with a smile and very friendly manager. Isabel who was our waiting staff was very friendly and helpful and the service was outstanding. Loved the food and great portions too. Food is prepared fresh and very tasty. The chips (masala) are very very tasty, loved it 👍 We will definitely be back. I will highly recommend Tamatanga (Nottingham branch). Thank you

    The service was speedy, and the ambiance was fantastic. The taste of the food was truly exceptional, showcasing consistently high standards. Our extensive order left us so impressed that we decided to pack the remaining items for a takeaway. Overall, a delightful dining experience.

    Pleasant atmosphere, great food however, would like to have had a vegan plant based meat option. Appreciate that they converted cocktails for mocktails (non-alcoholic) for us, but we were charged at the same price tag as an alcoholic drink (cocktail) that were filled to the rim with ice. Overall, good, freshly cooked food that tastes good and excellent customer service

    Fantastic Indian restaurant a stone’s through from Nottingham’s Market Square and Vicky Centre. Essentially a vegetarian restaurant serving a number of meat dishes rather than the other way round. Excellent vegan and gluten free choices too. Delicious authentic Indian food, full of flavour, good price £12 ish for main course but lots of snack/lighter options too). Love the decor too.

  • 5/5 Ben-DubZ 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent food and the decor is beautifully presented, colourful and vibrant. I personally find a lot of chain restaurants very bland and over hyped. But this one is filling, tasty and well presented. Tips: Share a starter. Have an extra nan if you have the thali. We look forward to our next visit and we can safely say it is a recommended experience, for those tired of the same bland trend.

    Lovely interior, great atmosphere, delicious food (best I've tried in Nottingham so far) and friendly staff. Family friendly environment (high chair, colouring crayons and cartoon sheet). Recommend the butter chicken. Can't wait to visit again.

    Excellent evening at my new favourite curry restaurant in Nottingham. Loved the naan’s, so light and fluffy 🤤. Service was second to none which always makes a huge difference. Well done 👏

    Good fast service (waitrons and food delivery). The food is good tasty. Service was really quick and the time taken between ordering and delivery was very fast. The quality of food was great and the pricing was very acceptable (about £ 16 for a main meal)

    Took my 13 year old before the theatre. The staff were really helpful. My daughter loved it and actually said it's the best Indian meal she's had! I enjoyed it too.

    I’ve tried a few Indians in the past and it has been tbh up & down but this place really wowed 😯 me! The food 🍱 was absolutely 👍🏻 delicious, it was well prepared and the presentation was amazing 🤩 also it was delicious 😋 the person who looked after us was Jenny, she was fast, efficient and most of all offered exceptional service, well done 👍🏻, really looking forward to coming back, definitely worth a visit

  • 5/5 Woofer P. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely unreal!!! Best curry I have ever had. Garlic chilli chicken with naan bread and chips! the Salmon cooked in a clay oven was also to die for! would definitely recommend this place. Anna was such an amazing host, she deserves 10 stars!!!!!

  • 4/5 Zain H. 4 years ago on Google
    Food was OK but could do with having more heat/chilli. Pompadoms came with only sweet sauces and no pickle.

  • 5/5 Christina Z. 4 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Aisha B. 2 years ago on Google
    I visited Tamatanga with a lovely friend of mine on the 13th of November 2020 and I loved it! The staff are, in my opinion, very friendly and welcoming. They come to check on your table every once in a while to see that you’re having a good time. The ambience is good. The restaurant looks beautiful (very flowery). It’s well lighted too! The food is oh my God, so delicious! I ordered the Punjabi butter chicken and I had it with biryani (you can also order it with naan bread if you wish). My friend ordered the chicken biryani which was also yummy but not as yummy and the Punjabi butter chicken. The cocktail we had was also nice and the amazing thing is that you can order your cocktail without alcohol and two people can share a cocktail because it’s big enough. In short, I had a good time and I recommend Tamatanga!!!! It’s almost perfect (almost because nothing is perfect) Hope this helps in some way In Sha Allah.

  • 4/5 Roman F. 4 years ago on Google
    Very nice lunch, though a little on the pricey side. Service was fine and the food was delicious, was also pleased that we were allowed to take home our leftovers as the naan breads were just too filling to eat while we were there.

  • 4/5 Andrea A. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely delicious. We had the thali and it was amazing. Great choice, the currys and Dahl were delicious. Huge amount of food and the price was so reasonable. Amazing cocktails. Staff were friendly and attentive! Would very highly recommend

  • 5/5 Andrew C. 2 years ago on Google
    The family had a meal here and it was very nice! Thankfully they also did a kids menu that included non-indian style food, so we also got few issues with the kids complaining! The kids meals are not cheap, in fact if you go when the £11 meal offer is on (food and drink for £11) there probably is very little difference in price between kids and adults...! Much to the pleasure of my wife we also got buy one get one free cocktails. Can't fault the place other than cost of kids meals to be honest... service was good, food was good and facilities was good! Would go again if I ever see one again...!

  • 5/5 TacoBebs 1 year ago on Google
    Shared a chicken khurana, pashwari naan and rice with my husband. It was more than enough food and it was delicious! The curry was so tasty that I didn't mind if I got a bite of sweet potato instead of chicken. The naans were warm and doughy. The staff were all very friendly and service was fast. I would advise that it's a party atmosphere in here - very loud and lots of drinks all round. Would not be a good location if you're looking for an intimate date but great if you're going out with friends or coworkers.

  • 4/5 K Sreenivas K. 1 year ago on Google
    This place has an entire menu for Vegans and Vegetarians. They offer a good number of options on the menu. The quantity they provide is good, the taste is 90% authentic Indian on some food items and 75% for some others. This place has a good ambience and is supported by a very nice staff.

  • 5/5 James C. 1 year ago on Google
    Staff were friendly and attentive. Drinks and food both came to our table well presented and very quickly. The quality of the food is superb. The place is clean and has great decor. You're made to feel welcome and I cannot recommend the place enough. Will be on my list of places to frequent for a fantastic experience and food.

  • 5/5 Pink V. 11 months ago on Google
    Went here for the first time with the family. The food and the non alcohol drink were really good, the ambience was nice, warm and the place was buzzing and lively. The staff was friendly and helpful. If you booked online you had to put your bank card details as a guarantee in case of no-show and they would charge your card £10 per person.

  • 5/5 Nethmi J. 11 months ago on Google
    Love the experience here. Shares the thali and got an additional rice to go with it. Selected the fish and lamb curries and they are just to die for. It was very spicy which I enjoyed personally. But it was amazing. Highly recommend!!!

  • 5/5 Edward J. 4 months ago on Google

    Always love coming here when I’m in Nottingham. The lady at the front desk is always so friendly and keeps a smile on, even when it is so busy and manic! The food is delicious. Must try the lamb chops and the thaali.

  • 5/5 Lucy E. 6 months ago on Google
    Daisy B was a lovely person. Took our order quickly. Checked we were throughout. The food is fresh and tastes good. The cheese naan are the best. Will be back. Thank you!

  • 4/5 Liya J. 5 months ago on Google
    I enjoyed Tamatanga minus 1 hicup. The atmosphere and decor is beautiful and the staff were so helpful. However, the only reason why I'm giving 4 stars is that I found a caterpillar in my salad 🤢. I did get it sorted out by the staff, which I greatly appreciate. The food was amazing too, but after seeing that, I lost my appetite I'll be honest. I'd maybe avoid the salad 😅 I got the chicken wrap with the Tamagaga fries and passion fruit juice !!! 10/10 for the food and drink (I'm not going to consider the salad.)

  • 5/5 finny g. 8 months ago on Google
    Very nice and authentic Indian dishes. Such a lovely atmosphere and surrounding and even the decorations at the restrooms are quite cool. They are doing lunch deal during weekdays which is only 12£ pp for one main dish and a drink. Also if you use tamatanga app, you can start collecting the points and they give you back free vouchers back.

  • 5/5 Vrushant L. 5 years ago on Google
    Great service, staff are really helpful. There is a good choice of dishes, and they do have gluten free options available. The decor is really vibrant and has a nice atmosphere. I had a lunch special deal for a drink and a main which was a really good price. I did not have to wait long for my meal and it tasted great, you can tell they use fresh ingredients.

  • 5/5 Benj S. 3 years ago on Google
    Amazing food! Fantastic atmosphere at a really reasonable price! Staff went out of their way to make us feel safe, but also to be as normal as possible. Lovely to eat somewhere and not be wierded by Covid....

  • 5/5 Rishandeen N. 3 years ago on Google
    This place never disappoints! My love for Tamatanga started when I was a student at UoN - to this day, if I am ever in Nottingham, this is a must visit for a meal! Staff are great, helpful and friendly. Ambience is stunning. Food, can't get better than this! Keep up the good work!!!

  • 1/5 Andy P. 3 years ago on Google
    Shocking experience! After a recent visit to Birmingham branch and being wowed by the food and service, I took my family for a meal to Nottingham Tamatanga. It couldn't be more different. Starter and drinks arrived after the main course. When we asked for an allergy advice we were told the same oil is used for frying fish & chips!! After waiting for ice creams for 20 min we had enough and cancelled them. The indian food itself was decent but service was everything but. If it wasn't 50% off i would have refused to pay the full price. Won't be going back!!

    Hi went here for a works Xmas night out. The staff were great and very friendly and accommodating. I think she was the manager as she wore a black blouse and was tall and slim. She was great and the service was fantastic. As one of our guests was late so we ordered for her and the manager noticed she hadn't arrived so offered to take her food back to the kitchen to keep her food warm. They also have a day time offer where you can get a drink a meal and rice or nan for £9.99. So a great bargain.

    One of the good Indian restaurant in Nottingham. Very good staff and good ambience. Food is very hygienic. Curry bowls served with naan or rice of Ur choice. located in the centre of the city.no free car parking available and u need to rely on pay parking in the nearest Location.

  • 5/5 Odaro O. 5 years ago on Google
    The food here is really delicious! I've had several different dishes off the menu and they've all been immensely tasty. Everything is also very reasonably priced and they have a very inviting lunchtime deal. A while ago this would've been five stars but since opening a second restaurant in Birmingham the Nottingham branch doesn't have the same ambience. The food is still super yummy though so overall it's still excellent! EDIT: This used to be four stars but the prices have crept up considerably. The food is still reasonable especially as it still tastes delicious and the menu offers a large variety of authentic dishes. The drinks however are daylight robbery. Speaking of daylight the daytime deal is no longer as remarkable in terms of value for money. I won't be eating here as regularly as I used to but it's still a really strong establishment that I would wholeheartedly recommend. EDIT NUMBER 2: The food here has returned to form. Infact, the food on my last visit was absolutely outstanding, incomparable to preceding meals. As far as I'm concerned this restaurant is flawless. The satisfaction you experience as you indulge yourself in any of the excellent options available from the menu completely dissolve any negative claims that could be made against tamatanga.

  • 5/5 Rajeev C. 5 years ago on Google
    Amazing food, best place for Indian food in Nottingham but also has a western twist to it on some dishes. Would highly recommend coming here genuine taste and quality food. Always one on my list to visit when in town.

    Never had a bad meal in here. Fast service. Always delicious food. Comfortable surroundings. Can be quite dark and the menu difficult to see. I usually get my phone torch out! Must look a right wally! Prices are reasonable too. They also do a delivery service although I have never tried it. Recommended

  • 2/5 Emily F. 4 years ago on Google
    Food OK but not much variety. You have to have what it says on the menu no variations. Everything was spicy to mask lack of flavour I think. Service was slow

  • 5/5 Harish K. 4 years ago on Google

    I love tamatanaga, been going many of years, I just wish the day time meal deal was better value how it used to be

  • 5/5 Ken W. 4 years ago on Google
    We have been visiting Tamatanga several times a year since they opened so can speak from considerable experience. In short, we think it is brilliant. One of the most remarkable things is it's consistency, we have never had a bad experience in the ten or so years we have been going. I cannot say the same about any other restaurant. The menu is varied and changes regularly but the favourites don't go anywhere, I think over the years we have tried pretty much everything and it is all great. Our favourite place to eat by far and I can't see that changing if they keep providing quality experiences. We have eaten at far more expensive Indian restaurants and the quality has been no better than Tamatanga. That means, Tamatanga relaxed bistro style wins out. Top marks from us. Highly recommended.

  • 4/5 Susan W. 4 years ago on Google
    My friends and I,couple of weeks ago went for an experience which we were granted... I absolutely loved the food there,the authenticity of the Asian food was a key element in the food. We were given sufficient tile to order and not rushed when we finished our meal which led us(group of friends) to order a round of cocktails. The service was great,we were served by a lovely Samantha and Rosa,I believe, Keep it up girls x Definitely recommend the tama thali and pork chops. 10/10!☺️

  • 2/5 Kaizarul H. 4 years ago on Google
    I've been here 6 times not but by choice.... Company meals... But the food either tastes like cardamom or cardamom. The corridor chutney is nice and the only thing that doesn't taste like cardamom.
