Venue information for Tamarai

The Tamarai restaurant and bar launched at the end of September 2006 on Drury Lane in Covent Garden. Serving Pan Asian cuisine and seats 110 for lunch and dinner with an additional bar capacity of 200.
Tamarai has been designed as a hybrid bar / restaurant which serves as a perfect meeting area, launch party venue, screening area, art gallery, lazy lounge, lively bar to a nightclub post 11pm. In other words Tamarai re-invents itself perpetually.

Using the lotus, a symbol of the sun, of creation and rejuvenation is considered to be the first flower to appear on earth and is intrinsic to the folklore of some of the world’s ancient civilizations. Symbolising the eight-fold path to enlightenment in Buddhism, as well as in Hindu mythology, the lotus is a form that has inspired art and emotion through the ages and is the icon that has been the design and cuisine inspiration for Tamarai (from the pronunciation of thamarai – chettinad/tamil for lotus).

The interior design at Tamarai is a synergy of Hindu art, and western technology, with multiple LCD screens pumping out soothing and healing ambience images to quirky and contemporary club mixes in which visuals are fine tuned to match the moods of the night.

Tamarai played host to the glitterati and fashionistas at the Tatler/ Jimmy Choo party recently, and is set to become London’s hottest mixed purpose venue.
