Our story

A taste of India, rooted in Oerlikon

Tamarind Hill began with a simple idea: bring the real, generous flavours of India to Zurich, and welcome every guest like family.

The art of contemporary Indian cuisine

Founded on the idea that Indian food should be generous, not fussy, Tamarind Hill brings together time-honoured technique and a contemporary eye: spice blends ground fresh daily, seasonal produce worked into classic gravies, and a tandoor that runs hot every service.

Our kitchen is built for sharing: thalis, platters and curries designed to bring people together at the table, the way they would at home. In Zurich since 2016, with eighteen signature herb blends of our own.
