TAMAM RESTAURANT CHANIA in Chania

"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!"

"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"

"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!"

"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."

"We arrived at 9pm on a Wednesday in late November. There was just one other table of people, so quiet. We sat inside as it was a cool night. We had house wine, salad, mushroom rolls, Mousavi, dakos, seabass, and rabbit. All delicious. Service was kind and generous with the perfect bite of baklava at the end. I have a picture of our empty plates because we were too hungry to remember to take pre-eating pictures. Wonderful."

"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."

"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."
