Great sauce
OMG ! This is even better than I anticipated ! I first became acquainted with Tamarind in a dipping sauce at our favorite Indian restaurant. But this on chicken is AMAZING! I can't wait to try it on pork. It is light, not super 'tomatoey' and has a slow heat to it. Heat sensitive palates BE WARNED !! This IS spicey but not 'overly' so if that makes sense. I am sold on this, it borderline life changing.
this was a pleasant surprise , delicious with layers of flavors —without tomato or benefit which is in other BBQ sauces … the ingredients are each great in their own right but better together !! spice blend , brown sugar & chili power !!! it won’t disappoint 😊
This sauce is the real deal. It tastes home made, and the ingredients combine together to make really awesome and deep flavors. This is the first time I've had a sauce with a tamarind base, and I love it. For me, the amount of heat the Medium sauce has is perfect. Will be trying all the heat levels next. Thanks for making this sauce!
Honestly I have to say this sauce has a very unique taste. I used it on wings and it made it a great experience. It’s very unique and delicious and I would highly recommend to anyone that want to try something new. I’m looking forward to order more when I run out.

I was so excited to try this BBQ sauce and it did not disappoint! The flavor is bold with the perfect balance of tangy tamarind, a hint of sweetness, and just enough heat. It worked beautifully on grilled chicken, and I can’t wait to try it on ribs next. You can really taste the quality and thought that went into this recipe. Definitely a new favorite in our house!
If you’re looking for a barbecue sauce that balances tang, sweetness, and a hint of smokiness, this one definitely hits the authentic mark. The flavor is rich and robust without being overpowering, making it versatile enough to complement all types of grilled meats, from ribs to chicken. The sweetness comes through nicely but doesn’t overwhelm, and the tangy vinegar kick provides a pleasant contrast. There’s also a subtle smokiness that lingers in the background, adding depth to the overall taste. The sauce is thick enough to stick to your food without running off, which is always a plus. Whether you’re grilling at home or serving up some backyard BBQ, this sauce is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. Thanks, Terry Kennard
They really created something special with this sauce. It's got a wonderful blend of spicy, sweet, and tang that paired perfectly with some baby back ribs. The unique flavor had everyone talking about it. So good!!!
I just tried Tamarind Heads BBQ sauce and I am in love. I used it as a marinade and sauce for grilled chicken and it was exactly as advertised: smoky and tangy, with the perfect kick of heat. The chicken didn’t even need salt or pepper. The spices in this sauce are all you need. So good 🔥
Brings a fresh twist to classic BBQ with its bold tamarind base. This sauce is a flavor-packed blend of tartness from the tamarind, balanced with just the right level of sweetness and smoke, all tied together by a touch of spice that leaves you craving more. It’s versatile enough for everything from ribs to wings, adding a unique depth that stands out without overpowering. If you’re looking for a BBQ sauce that breaks the mold with a vibrant, tangy twist, Tamarind Head’s is a must-try.
It's a very unique BBQ sauce!. Tamarind and brown sugar are the dominant flavors. It is a bit chocolaty, a bit nutty, and a little bit of molasses sweetness. The smoky chipotle flavor kicks in later in the experience, and the heat kicks in even later. It leaves a mild tingle on the lips and on the tongue.
As a BBQ sauce it would be great on pork and chicken, but it would be amazing on an avocado toast, or use it in an onion bacon jam! I used it to make sloppy joes that turned out amazing!
I used as both marinade and glaze with great results! The sauce added a wonderful taste and aroma to the grilled pork tenderloin! I will be using it again soon, and look forward to the unique taste on poultry or seafood!
We loved the flavor of this sauce. It reminded us of PIckapeppa sauce because of the Tamarind. It’s so different than a tradition BBQ sauce flavor, it’s almost like a jerk sauce. We loved it basted on grilled pork tenderloin. Nice amount of heat without being over powering.
The flavor with Tamarind Heads was uniquely different and my whole family loved it. We made some grilled chicken tacoa and they were top notch. Will definitely definitely be trying again.
It’s got everything- sweetness, spice, tanginess. This just became my GO-TO BBQ sauce. Obsessed with it.

Love this sauce
Has the right balance of tangy, flavorful, and spice. Is really diverse and I’ve used it on ribs, chicken, and pork. Excellent as a dip and is my new go to sauce. Really was surprised by how flavorful it was and can’t recommend it more highly!
Tamarind Heads is the sauce of all sauces. The tamarind does the trick with its sweet, sour and tangy tastes perfectly combined. Purchased the medium spice and for me it just gives the right punch. Used it on our barbecue on July 4th. It’ll definitely be our go to sauce! 😋

We love this BBQ Sauce! We grilled some chicken and we were sold immediately on the flavor. It's the perfect mix of classic bbq flavors plus a bit of smokey and a little sweetness (I love the sweetness). Very impressed with it!
Thank you!
What a delicious dip. We devoured it!
I’m loving this BBQ sauce! The tamarind and sesame oil give it a unique flavor twist. It’s a delicious balance of tangy, smoky, and sweet, with some nice heat!
Good barbecue sauce
Love the clean ingredients! Definitely has a major spice kick to it. We made bbq chicken with it and it was delicious!
If you love smoky bbq sauce look no further. This is the one!!
