"Avgeria Stapaki and Adalberto Olaez have created an ambitious menu at Tama, a restaurant in Bucktown, Chicago, that stands out from the typical Mediterranean dining scene by incorporating international flavors and creativity. The menu includes unique dishes such as avgolemono ramen, dolma with tabbouleh and beurre blanc, and short rib orzo. The restaurant, located at 1952 N. Damen Avenue, features a first-floor counter service and bar, and a second-floor dining area available for private events. An outdoor patio is also planned. Tama replaces a venue that housed several fine dining restaurants before, and its decor includes a warm earthy color palette and olive trees. It offers a casual atmosphere with competitive pricing." - Naomi Waxman
