Tamarind Seed

Tamarind Seed sits daintily at the intersection of Peachtree and 14th Street. It’s definitely the best Thai restaurant I’ve been to. Period. The fact that it was my birthday added to the unique charm that this restaurant has to offer. Everything including the décor, the music playing in the background, the orchids, the servers in traditional garb and the dinnerware was authentically and stylishly Thai.


The food was truly a gastronomic delight. I would definitely suggest the Pad-Thai, clichéd but delicious. This restaurant, I think, also scores a perfect ten in presentation; not just a mouthful but an eyeful as well! All the dishes were creatively styled with purple orchids. We finished off with a bowl of ice-cream with Thai condiments and nuts. The service was perfect too, understated but efficient. Tamarind Seed, earns a G-Star and more importantly, a Zagat rating!
