Great food and ambiance. Extremely tasty and highly recommend. Only unfortunate thing is the service. I've been here twice and both times the service was horrible. The second time I went I had to wait 30 minutes just to get a server to take our order, and then it was impossible to get any of the servers attention throughout the meal, I had to get up to the counter to order dessert and pay. It's like the servers try to ignore you and just rush away whenever they get close, not once did they respond to our calls for them / or perhaps they were low staff both times, I'll change this review if anything changes.

Okay, this isn't good....You guys, what has happened to your food? This is terrible. The portions being smaller are fine if the food tastes delicious. Shou haida? This isn't what our food tastes like. Shame on you. Fix your kitchen.

The food is excellent. If you want a quiet dining experience book for 5pm, after 6:30 it can get rowdy. I do have a gripe though, if the meat and chicken are halaal and the venue serves alcohol, then it should not be designated a halaal restaurant. I've experienced this at two so called restaurants recently. State our meat is halaal and not that it is a halaal establishment.

Vegetarian options: The fried cauliflower and vege stew were my favourite, even more than the lamb and fish dishes. The veg appetizer sampler platter was also really nice to share.Parking: free 2 hr parking lot 2 min walk away (NW of the restaurant)

Delicious ?

Food was amazing. Service was kind and attentive. Only gripe was the two-person seating area along the wall was cramped...barely any room to move your chair back to get into the seats.Overall 9/10 and will be coming back for the hummus--it is godly.

Has good vegetarian options. It’s more to the pricey end. Good seating and environment.

I just ordered take out but it was the most flavourful kebab I have ever had. Definitely the place to go to if you want some super flavour.

Had an amazing experience at Tamam! Was served delicious family-style plates of Mansaf (melt-in-your-mouth tender lamb cooked in a yogurt-based sauce served over rice) and deliciously cheesy ooey gooey Kunafah for dessert (the cheese pull was a sight to behold!).Tamam and Sobhi (the owners) went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, and the atmosphere felt like a warm and loving family dinner. Went home with a full heart and a full stomach ❤️‍?

Everything about our experience here was wonderful. We ordered all delicious vegetarian items. The food was impeccable and the servers were friendly and fast. We will return again and again. If you’re in the area or nearby, this is a must go.Vegetarian options: Fresh and flavorful. Perfect amount of spices.
