Four of us thoroughly enjoyed the Tamarind on the Nieu Amsterdam in December and were depressed to find the Rotterdam (in July) too small to include it. Superb service. Adventurous cuisine.

Yes -- only the Signature and Pinnacle class ships have the Tamarind restaurant.

Not even the Vista class ships have this special restaurant.

We love the Tamarind as well.

We ate there three times on our last cruise. So yummy. We had pretty much everything previously listed in addition to the excellent Peking duck appetizer and the soft shell crab . The crab was the only miss. Everything else was fab

I also enjoy a pre-dinner drink in the Silk Den bar.

Cyn and I have eaten in Tamarind several times. This last time out I had the Ginger and Garlic Wok-seared Lobster and it was awesome! I don't remember what she had, I think the Korean Duck Breast.

We ate in the Tamarind on the Eurodam 2 nights on a 4 night cruise last May. It is fabulous - best food and service on the entire ship.

I forget, what is the extra charge for this restaurant?

You can order a limited menu of Tamarind dishes in the Pinnacle Grill on ships that have been trained. We love the Tamarind and found the dishes available on the Volendam quite good. I asked if Tamarind items were available due to the cruise being from Hong Kong to Tokyo and we were told that all ships PG kitchens were being trained to prepare Tamarind items.

I started off with an appetizer of satay. We then shared a salmon and tuna sushi roll which was some of the best sushi I have ever had. For my entree, I had the special of the day which was a wok fried lobster tail over jasmine rice. Finished off with a dessert of Tamarind chocolate. This was one of the best Asian influenced meals I have ever had. Enjoy!

Currently $25/pp and in our opinion, worth every penny! :)

Thanks so much for posting that menu!

 

I definitely want to do Tamarind when we are onboard.

All the comments sound just excellent!

We might go back more than once.

 

But, can any of you tell me what dishes we might like to order, if we like 'Americanized' asian foods.

I don't think I am into the more pungent ginger and tamarind.

I like spicy, but not hot. We like the flavor but don't want our mouths on fire!

 

I have heard about the spicy shrimp, might not be too hot?

The sea bass or barramundi might be really good. (if it is the good barramundi, not the farm raised fish that can be called barramundi)

 

Plenty of flavor, like soy, sweet, garlic, is good!!!! Just not to too hot or pungent.

$20 pp

 

Actually, it's currently $25 pp as I noted in post #13 above (still worth every penny)! ;):)

Thanks to all who posted the menu & all your comments .:D

 

We will definitely go to Tamarind on our March Koningsdam southern Caribbean cruise :p

Why not check it out on our Eurodam sailing to Mexico in December? ;):)

[OlsSalt]

My favorites: the appetizers, the sushi and the desserts. Happy to not have any of the entrees, and enjoy a collection of smaller items which becomes a big meal.

...We like the flavor but don't want our mouths on fire!

I would suspect that you could order anything and that your server will inquire regarding hot hot or mild you would prefer. I recall we were asked. You might also just say that you're worried about it being too spicy and get suggestions. In my experience the service in Tamarind on both the Eurodam and Koningsdam was excellent - this included advice on the menu offerings.

For the record...

 

 

About halfway through, my DW found an ...overspiced spot on her Wasabi Beef.

You can order that with the wasabi on the side ... or omitted entirely. Still an excellent piece of beef.

Sorry - didn't see your 9:53 post before entering my 9:54 one.

Yep. Excellent piece of beef, and she was enjoying it until she hit the big lump of pure wasabi.

Wasabi, by definition is.... spicy!! :D

No worries, but the point of my post was that you quoted the incorrect cost, not that our posts crossed paths.. ;)
