Tamam is a wonderful restaurant brimming with atmosphere, delicious drinks and incredible food across the board. We had a mix of appetizers, and main courses, and everything was 10 out of 10. the service was wonderful and the 90 minute table limit truly didn't feel like we were rushed in the slightest. I cannot wait to go back again.

What a wonderful find! I have driven past and been curious to try for awhile and my husband's birthday seemed like the perfect time to surprise him with someplace new and invite our friends. We all loved the people and the place and the food we tried was very good. I am going back to try more dishes for sure. Loved the falafel and grape leaves and the pita bread and dips were yummy, too.

Excellent. Favorite is lamb shoulder with roasted potatoes, so good. Halloumi and eggplant fantastic appetizer.
Service very good, staff really attentive and always circulating.
Owners are terrific, always taking time to interact with customers. Very nice and kind people.
Dining tables are a bit crowded together; small restaurant so they're trying to maximize area space to accommodate as many as possible but it can feel a bit tight. Worth it, though, for the food.
Absolutely recommend.

We have been here twice. My daughter recommended it highly so we went the day after she'd been. The first time we waited 45 minutes to get in because there were 2 of us and they only take bookings for 4+. We were very hungry but the wait did indicate it was very popular and therefore probably good. The second time we booked and brought 2 friends who said it was one of the best meals they'd had in their 2 months of travelling. Fantastic food, extremely tasty and well-cooked. Service is friendly and the place is unpretentious with the feeling that everyone is really enjoying themselves.

Great food! The fish and mujaddarah were delicious. The owner was so friendly too taking the time to talk to us. Only issues were that the service was slow in the beginning as it took a while for someone to get our order and refill our water, but after the food arrived it was smooth. Would come again to try their other dishes!

Our experience was excellent. It was a cold night and the area we sat in needed portable heaters which were quickly made available. The empty food plates would benefit by being preheated some how.
It is a top notch eatery. We always have an excellent experience at Tamam’s.

We love that Tamam exists in East Van, that you are community minded and so supportive of the people of Gaza in their great humanitarian need. Food fab! Staff fab!

The service was fantastic, my brochettes were very good, but it was not super if I am honest.
The vibe was very nice.
