The Tamarind Collection is the London restaurant group built around Tamarind of Mayfair, the first Indian restaurant in London - and one of the first in the world - to win a Michelin star. Its three restaurants share a mission to cast the sensory joys of Indian cuisine in a new light: Tamarind of Mayfair on Queen Street, with its tandoor-led kitchen, two-floor dining room and all-day terrace; Tamarind Kitchen on Wardour Street in Soho, a convivial reimagining of the Mayfair cooking for social dining in a Russell Sage Studio setting; and Zaika of Kensington, the royal feasting traditions of India's palaces served in a restored Grade II-listed Victorian bank opposite Hyde Park. Each restaurant offers private dining, group menus and gift cards.
Tamarind Kitchen is the Tamarind Collection's contemporary Indian restaurant on Wardour Street in Soho, from the team behind the Michelin-starred Tamarind of Mayfair. It offers a convivial dining experience with soulful, sensory dishes that reimagine the award-winning Mayfair cuisine for social dining - succulent Awadhi kababs, creamy South Indian curries, meat and seafood from the tandoor - alongside cocktails, wine, a tasting menu, weekend lunch and pre-theatre menus, in an enticing setting created by Russell Sage Studio. The Vault Room private dining space seats 8-10, and the whole basement floor and bar can be hired for larger celebrations.
Tamarind of Mayfair was the first Indian restaurant in London to receive a Michelin star and continues to explore new ground, serving a modern twist on the flavours and textures of India in delicately floral surroundings on Queen Street. Diverse regional cooking methods are celebrated with the tandoor at the heart of the kitchen, across set lunch, a la carte and tasting menus. The light, airy restaurant spans two floors - the spectacle of the open kitchen on the lower ground floor and views over Queen Street and private gardens from the upper level - with an all-day terrace under a retractable roof with its own bar, a private dining room for 12 and terrace hire for 50. Named one of OpenTable's Top 100 Restaurants of 2025. Part of the Tamarind Collection alongside Tamarind Kitchen and Zaika of Kensington.
Zaika of Kensington brings the authentic feasting traditions of India's Maharajas' palaces to the doorstep of Kensington Palace Gardens, with an inspired cocktail menu alongside. A sister restaurant to Tamarind of Mayfair within the Tamarind Collection, it serves century-old recipes from historic palaces and gourmet homes across India in an inventive, contemporary style, with a la carte, lunch and weekend lunch menus. The restaurant occupies a Grade II-listed gothic-revival building opposite Hyde Park, designed in 1884 by Alfred Williams for London City Bank and restored with respect for its banking heritage, and has a private dining room with AV, florals and personalised menus for intimate dinners and business lunches.
