Highly recommend, I've been a few times now and the food has always been amazing. Middle Eastern food has never been my favorite but I really like this place. Highlight for me is the lamb.
Their dishes may be a tad bit on the pricier side, but the quality is definitely there and comes freshly made (you can see chefs making the dishes right at the front), so I think that the dishes aren't overpriced at all. The portions are good for the price, and the service is amazing!! Make sure to try their pita and hummus appetizer, along with the chicken kebab and lentil dish. The ambience is great, and is definitely a place I would come to again with friends or family.
Randomly dropped into this place and was PLEASANTLY surprised by EVERYTHING. I got the Warak and the salad. It was amazing. My only complaint is that I wish I got more! I also tried a new beer that I have never had and discovered my new favorite beer at the same time! :) I highly recommended checking this place out.
I looked all around Vancouver for kanafe. I found the best kanafe here. They serve it by piece only but whatever.. Soo good đ

After a really disappointing night out at a new Turkish restaurant in the West End, my wife suggested coming here tonight, a reliable favorite, to get our Eastern Mediterranean fix. Yay...They are once again open for business after some renos.
I'm no expert on Palestinian food, but almost everything that I've tried since we started coming here has been delicious. Service is good. It's a small three person front of house, but friendly and well organized.
Tonight's specials were fried cauliflower appy and stuffed potatoes for the main. We ordered both and the freekeh with roast lamb. The cauliflower was lightly seasoned with cumin, served with pita and a zesty lemon and yogurt dip. Yummy flavours, but a touch greasy.
The freekeh is delicious every time. The roast lamb was tender, perfectly seasoned, and served in its own yummy jus. It also had a side of refreshing pickled red cabbage salad. No complaints about this dish.
The potatoes were stuffed with ground beef, served with rice pilaf and beet salad. The stuffed potatoes were good, the beef was nicely seasoned and was served piping hot. But, I found the rice to be on the salty side. I also did not like the green peppers in the rice, it added bitterness.
They are lacking in the dessert department, I would skip the sweets here next time. All in all, I was very happy with dinner tonight. Got my Med fix!
The hummus was the best I've ever tasted! It had a green parsley sauce with it that was a bit spicy and just added a lot of good flavour to the dish! I also ordered a rice and lentil dish, which wasn't bad. There was a party going on and the place was very packed. It was cozy, but very loud and cold. My friend enjoyed the lamb dish a lot.

Midweek visit. I am quite familiar with food from the region and was looking forward to it. I am hyper critical but ended up being humbled by the freshness and simplicity of the food. Hummus to start, served warm with specially made pita, thick but not filling, the spread was thicker than most but not heavy, almost whipped, very special. Fattoush salad, full of nice greens, stringy cheese and onions that were sweet. For a main, the cabbage rolls with chicken, 3 large cigar sized rice stuffed rolls, shredded beets, roasted tomatoes, roasted pepper and small greens with a thigh and leg that has been marinated in loveliness, finished in the oven for crispy skin then covered in sumac. The above was shared!!! and we were full. There were other diners that had ordered a main each and not one could finish it. If you order a main for yourself, do not get appetizers but what a waste, the appies we had were full of flavor and freshness. We finished with mint tea and baklava, made in house. We had a beer and a lemonade, with tax $54. I felt ,besides the great food, the value was great. All food is made fresh and feels like it was made from the heart.
I've been coming to Tamam for quite a while now and the mujadarah chicken is my LOVE. The service is consistently good and you can tell that the owners genuinely care about your dining experience.
FIrst Time...... but NOT the last!. What a wonderful little restaurant this is. Definitely not elegant, but WOW! The food is amazing. We started with The Humus with tahini, garlic, and olive oil - superb. We also had the Red cabbage salad with twisted cheese, toasted almonds and pine nuts - also superb. For entrees we shared the Halloumi Eggplant, the Mujaddarah rice, lentils and caramelized onions, and the fresh green cabbage rolls, stuffed with rice, tomatoes and parsley. Each dish was unique and flavorful. The portions were huge and regrettably we had to pass on dessert. But next time.....
Go Tamam!. Food presented beautifully - fresh, visually pleasing and so delicious! Service is warm. The restaurant itself is clean and comfortable. I feel great that I am also exploring the world of Palestinian cuisine. It is definitely worth a try for the adventurous soul!
