Went here for new years eve and had a brilliant time. The music was good, mainly RnB which I liked. However, the door staff were slightly rude, the venue had no problem selling tickets to a group of my all male friends and not explaining that they had to be in mixed groups, but when it came to letting them they were reluctant, luckily there were enough of me and my friends inside (all females) and we said that they were with us. The cocktail menu is great, prices are reasonable. The decor is also nice and it wasn't too crowded which I liked.

Went here last Saturday Night. group of 12 girls and guys, all in our late 20's early 30's.Door Staff-Rude. expected. Promoter- arrogant.Food good, drinks ok, service crap. Crowd 19-25 just wanting to get drunk and fall over. Music was ok, i've heard better mainly Rnb which i like, Funky House which i like but the Dj's selection and mixing crap.Place to have a party NO!!!! Place to meet student types who think this is and exclusive venue YES!!!!Place has gone down hill. Shame.

We went to Tamarai last night and had an absolutely fantastic time. Friendly and attentive staff, amazing food and stylish surroundings. Would recommend to all.

Good Food, Good Service, Good surrounding, but all of this means absolutely nothing in comparison to the way my party and I were treated by the Management, who I might add displayed customer service skills of the very lowest standard I have ever seen in my many years of dining out.It was my cousins birthday and we were advised by phone and at the restaurant (by the staff) that we were not allowed to eat our pre-organized birthday cake within the restaurant as we would be infringing their health and safety policies, however we were allowed to present it to her so that, we can sing “happy birthday” while she’s blowing out the candles. At 11.30pm I had gone over to get the cake and I was very abruptly stopped and spoken to by the management in a very rude and aggressive nature that I could take not even take the cake out of the bag. If we had known this before we would of even had come to eat there, we continued to explain our situation to the manager that we were informed by your staff that we were allowed to present the cake, but he was very adamant that he would not let us even take the cake out of the bag.I understand that there are rules in place for a reason, but we were spoken to like we were nothing and we brought a party of 8 spending quite a fair bit of money, plus at 11.30pm the restaurant was empty.We brought the cake over to the table and surprised the birthday girl and had simply opened the box to show her, within 5 seconds we were approached by the very rude management who literally broke up our “happy birthday” song and advised that we put the lid on our cake. THIS IS CUSTOMER SERVICE AT ITS VERY LOWEST!!!...I will NEVER be dining within a restaurant that has incompetent management like that.

Tamarai is a big hit within our group... we simply love going there. The look of the restaurant is very chic and the staff is also amazing!!... Surely recommend it to all those lookig to spend a great evening out.

Last Monday we went for a dinner to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. Quite simply the food was amazing and the wine list spectacular. The service was friendly, attentive, genuine and professional. The deal available was the icing on the cake!!..

this place is becoming one big joke what people they want in there ?

tamarai sort this out or another west end club will go

Went to Tamarai last night and had one of the worst dining experiences I have ever had the misfortune to suffer. We were part of a large party and had been told in advance that we would therefore have to have the set menu. No problems, fair enough for a large group.

Due to some late arrivals we were not ready for our meals until 8:30 or so when some of us were given some of the starters, dim sum and duck spring roll. Not bad tasting although the portions were quite small. About half an hour later more starters were brought to our table, it turned out these were actually meant for the other table that was part of our group sitting right behind us who had not been served during that time. We had already eaten about half of these but the waiting staff didn't bother to top them up or bring new ones and gave them straight to the other table who had to take what were now half portions.

Roughly an hour after this (ie an hour and a half after being served our starters) the mains were finally brought out. Whilst I am told the seabass was actually quite nice the thai green curry was overly hot and there was not nearly enough rice to share properly between people.

Another hour or so after the mains had been cleared away we were brought the dessert, some sort of white chocolate ice cream which was tasty enough but quite frankly was at most enough for three quarters of a mouthful.

The fact that it took approximately three hours to be "served" a three course meal where everyone at the table was having one of three choices at most off a set menu was absolutely appalling. In particular for the mains where the three choices were the seabass, a thai green chicken curry or a thai green vegetable curry, the last two of which were presumably cooked up en masse. The starters and the dessert would also have been cooked up en masse so there was no excuse whatsoever for the length of time it took to get our meals.

This was while enduring one of the more overpriced
