Tamam Fine Palestinian Cuisine - Vancouver, British Columbia

This is probably one of the best Palestinian/ Mediterranean restaurants in the greater Vancouver areas. We ordered the soft baked chicken with grape leaves, lamb kabob with mujaddara, fried cauliflower, and knafe to deliciously complete the meal. The lamb kebab was moist and so flavorful with every bite. The chicken was ... so soft, the bones fell as you scoop up the chicken. The cauliflower tasted like fries, flavored with lemon and other herbs. And oh man knafe was amazing. It was topped with fresh pistachios and dried roses(?) Definitely recommend to everyone and anyone!! We went right when it opened at 5pm and we were the first ones there. When we left more people started trickling in. Read more

Love the food!!! That’s of course important. But what really makes this place special is the ambiance, the people who greet you when you walk in, the owners who make an effort to chat with you, the other patrons… the music, the solarium dining area… When I’m there I feel ... like I’m home (which for me is Mombasa and there’s no finer praise I can give). Try it …and have the mujadara! It’s simple perfection!!! Read more

I love love the food! I used to order from Uber and it was my first time in the restaurant, the patio is nice and chill, we ordered roast lamb and lamb shanks with stuffed grape leaves and we personally think the lamb was cooked to perfection! The waitress was super ... friendly and I have nothing negative to point out! Also there’s a free and paid street parking around which is a plus! Note that this is a Palestinian restaurant and they don’t serve boycotted products ❤️ Read more

Food is delicious here. I came for the grilled meats but fell in love with all the vegetarian dips and falafel more! Service could be improved. They are incredibly busy and service feels chaotic. The server took and returned the spare chair on my table about four different times, no exaggeration, ... hitting my foot by accident each time. He also cleared our plates while we were still in the middle of trying to pack our leftovers - just give us a minute, please! But the service is friendly, even if it's not the best, so at least they are trying. Go there for the food not the ambience/service. Read more

Insanely delicious, big portions, super fresh. I especially recommend the cauliflower, the potato wedges, and the veggie stew. Service was friendly and accommodating. Our children enjoyed colouring kites. We left full, and yet didn't have the usual food-hangover/gut rebellion that I tend to experience after eating at some restaurants (usually ... due to cheap oils, high salt, and processed ingredients). We will definitely be coming back here! Read more
