TAMAM RESTAURANT CHANIA

Definitely recommend it. The location is great. The staff is very friendly. The food was pretty good. We had : Traditional sausages - very aromatic, fresh tasting Traditional cretan pies - very tasty Smoked aubergine dip - interesting taste but not sure I would recommend Smirnean Rabbit - delicious; definitely try it Mousaka - absolutely horrendous ; the texture was all wrong, too mushy and the taste was bland; the reason for the missing star

Food was stunning. Had the tamam salad, naturally and it was very fresh. Walnuts, avocado mash, mint, radish and a lovely sauce to bind everything together. Also had the moussaka, which was prepared meticulously, starting with perfectly poached(?) potatoes on the bottom, a layer of beef and tomato mix, a smooth aubergine and a cheese topping that had such a lovely punch. 100% would recommend. And to top it off, we were served with complimentary Baklava!

I can’t overstate how amazing this meal was. Every bite was a flavor explosion. We started with the beans, followed by the Iranian rice and rabbit — so delicious I could cry. We got a complimentary baklava at the end. The price was super fair, they could easily charge more for this kind of quality. Also, the service was quick, friendly, and really made the whole experience even better. I was so impressed that I ended up buying their cookbook.

No need to say much about this place… it’s PURE ART! The chefs here are true artists of food. Honestly, I don’t know how I’ll enjoy food the same way again after having lunch at Tamam. Every dish was authentic, full of flavor, and simply unforgettable. One of the many reasons I’ll come back to Chania is definitely this restaurant. Just WOW!

We were seated in the ancient turkey bath room, a very unique area of the restaurant. The food was great, and so was the atmosphere. The service was a bit spotty, finding it hard to get our waiter attention, but the room was quite full so I fell like taking only one star off. All in all a great experience and for a very reasonable price.

We were recommended this restaurant by a local while sharing a taxi from the airport to the city. We went there first on a Sunday evening, it was so busy we couldn't get a table, so we booked a table for Monday evening. I'd say it didn’t disappoint—especially the beef in tomato sauce with aubergine purée. The beef was incredibly tender, and the sauce complemented it perfectly. The staff were also very kind and offered us a mix of zucchini balls and tomato balls since we couldn’t decide which to order. I would like to recommend it to you as well.

The restaurant is pretty disgusting. We found a dead cockroach on their kitchen door and when I told the server, he dismissed it and said this is normal because the garbage is close. He didn’t even remove it. We got the rabbit stew which was super dry and no flavour. The pastrami pie is so oily and you can tell it’s not fresh. The fried cheese is also super heavy. Horrible experience. The place needs to be inspected for cleanliness.

This restaurant was recommended to me by my Greek cousin, and it was totally worth it! The food was amazing, not touristy at all! The weird stuff were also excellent! I highly recommend this restaurant!
