Tamu Cafe

1. The restaurant is small but cozy, offering decent service, though orders must be placed at the counter. While the food was decent, it didn’t stand out, and the prices felt steep, making it unlikely for a return visit.

   The dirty chai was excellent, but the brioche chicken fell short of expectations.

   The restaurant serves halal food and accepts both card and cash payments. However, parking is a major drawback.

2. Nice small cafe in Bearwood. Ordered the Egg Royale which consisted of smoked salmon, poached eggs and hollandaise sauce on sourdough bread. Bit on the pricey side but the presentation was excellent and food was 10/10. Eggs were cooked to perfection with a lovely runny yolk. Sauce complimented the salmon extremely well and sourdough bread was toasted just right. Loved the little extras like the radishes and greens on top. Also ordered a side of spicy beans which tastes great and goes with any dish.

3. From walking in the atmosphere is bright, open, warm, and friendly. The mixture of patrons speaks volumes from mothers and babies, friends, an order for collection. The service was with a smile and the food came in a timely manner. Every bite of food and sip from my tumeric tea was delicious. My sista and I left with our palates and tummies satisfied, and our psyche calm. Thank you for an amazing first experience Tamu Cafe Team… You know we’ll be back! Ps. I had a slice of cake for later, yum😋

4. I visited here two weeks ago.

   Prior to coming, I messaged the cafe via instagram to find out if they catered for gluten free and diary intolerances (not the same person).
   To my delight they said they did and so decided to pay them a visit.

   When you step inside here, you cannot believe you are in bearwood. It has a lovely atmosphere. We were there for a friend’s catchup, but there was also a mother and child sat nearby and also couples.

   The cafe does not take bookings and so be prepared there may be a wait.
   We were fortunate enough to find a table.

   The cafe were very accommodating for me and my friend who is gluten free, and were great at suggesting substitutions.

   I ordered the sweetcorn fritters and asked for the cheese to be removed as I have a diary intolerance.
   They asked if I wanted more avocado instead and I declined, instead opted for more pomegranate. (I think there was already half an avocado on the dish anyway).
   I also ordered a side portion of turka beans.

   The food was generally yummy.
   The sweetcorn dish was really tasty.
   I was also looking forward to the turka beans, which didn’t go with my meal, but had them on the side and in fairness was a large sized portion.
   I didn’t really enjoy them though as they put hard crunchy chickpeas in throughout.
   I still ate them as the side dish was expensive, and just picked the chickpeas out and gave to my friend!

   The above lunch cost me over £20 hence the 4* rating.
   Food was nice, but feel the price was a bit steep for a small cafe in bearwood.
   Or has everything just gone mega expensive?!

5. Tried it for the first time with a friend to celebrate my birthday 🎂. We ordered the chicken wrap. It was so good, it was a little big for me so I took the rest home. The tower of chips was amazing too. If you love large portions, it’s the way to go. Love the sauces too, mayo and sweet chilli.
