TAMAM RESTAURANT CHANIA

We had an amazing dinner at Tamam in Chania. The Tamam salad, the baked giant beans in garlic sauce, and the filo rolls filled with mushrooms were all incredibly tasty and full of flavor. Every dish felt fresh and beautifully prepared. The service was excellent—everyone was so kind, warm, and welcoming. At the end of our meal, they even surprised us with a delicious homemade dessert on the house, which was such a lovely touch. It was the perfect final dinner of our trip to Crete. We can’t wait to come back! Highly recommended.

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.

Went in September with a group of friends for lunch. The place was almost full so we were lucky to find a table available without a reservation. Service was quick although they were at capacity, the food was super interesting and delicious and the prices were reasonable. Would definitely come back.

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!

DELICIOUS food. We loved the Greek salad, bean dip, cheese and eggplant dish! They also had a great beer selection. Our waiter was so helpful and friendly. We loved sitting outside !

I cried that’s how good this meal was. When I tell you that everything we had was Michelin level in the way that the produce was so fresh, it was so well seasoned, the meatballs were out of this world - for the price especially this was even more outstanding. I cannot fault this and if I could give it 100/10 I would. Please make sure to book a table well in advance, and I’d recommend the earlier seating (7pm) and snag one outside if you can. The staff were super friendly and the tomato fritters and pastries made out of local cheese were HEAVENLY. Kebab also slapped and the bread with avocado dip was so fresh and tasty. 1000 compliments to the chef, I want to eat here every single day. Sadly the photos I took will never do it justice, please take my word and try this local gem.
