About Tamarai
Tamarai, a pan Asian restaurant, bar and club is one of London’s most stylish venues and was voted the best late night bar in UK at the Theme Bar & Restaurant Awards. Designed as hybrid hub – Tamarai reinvents itself from a fine dining restaurant to a post 11 pm late night bar with an in house DJ and Video Jockey and a late night license till 3 a.m. on Friday and Saturday hosting happening club nights on weekends. Diners can enjoy critically acclaimed pan Asian cuisine by Chef Manish (Best Pan Fusion Food in London, Evening Standard) which is complemented with an extensive wine list.
Like the Lotus flower that it is named after, Tamarai metamorphoses from a perfect stop for a couple of terrific cocktails after work to a late night bar. Dinner from 5:30 pm features Chef Manish Mehrotra's incredible Pan Asian Menu coupled with Master of Wine Tim Atkin's selection of award winning Wines making it a memorable evening.

Tamarai is best for...

Appearance-wise it’s a flashy West End nightclub that draws in plenty of revellers with its 3am closing time and a music policy that sticks to R&B and pop, but the Pan-Asian menu is pretty delicious too. Voted best late night bar in the 2008 Theme Bar & Restaurant Awards.

The All In London Review

"Restaurant cum nightclub pulls off Pan-Asian menu"
Added Mon 05 Dec 2011 by Leila
Tamarai is one of those curious venues that morphs from restaurant to nightclub as the night goes on. Alarm bells start ringing before we head over - is the food going to be rubbish because no one eats there? Is Rihanna going to be playing on repeat? And the cuisine is Pan-Asian, Pan Asian! Is this pseudo nightclub trying to tell me it can capably ...

My Review
1 out of 10 stars
Today my group of friends went to celebrate a reserved birthday at this club, these managers really do care nothing besides money. The atmosphere was awful and not to mention having to deal with the group being split up by bouncers, who were blatantly not contracted by a professional agency, dealed the final blow to the worst night ever and all this happened within the time frame of 30mins-1hr. Simply put 'Power Abuse' was clear here as they victimised certain people from our group by forcing them to leave after paying without giving a reason at all, we were all angered by this form of power abuse not to mention the refusal of myself entry after going outside to ask a simple question of whats going on, and with myself clearly being associated with the friends' who were kicked out I was also kicked out without reason. After trying to reason logically and calmly with these people who I saw were only doing their job and as a human individual, the concept of reasoning obviously didnt exist in their tiny little minds; I was refused entry to pick up my own belongings from the cloak room and even with the threat of calling the police for this form of consumer abuse the most annoying phrase to hear next was "Do I look like I give a **** about the Police and your ****?"
Luckily in the end a friend came out and I sneakily passed him my coupon to withdraw my belongings when he left.
Eitherway after going in its quite certain when incorporating this list of negative reviews that this place will be dry so if your and your group want to enjoy a night out, avoid this venue at all costs because this place is an unneccessary risk.
Eitherway after todays event I have been led to wonder with this country priding itself on its legal framework and its Consumer Protection in especially the service industry why is it that the Night Entertainment industry in this country is possibly the most corrupted sector with no legal framework to protect the general public from venues that
