Tamra Mediterranean Grill

Great food

The lamb shank was good, but one thing I’ll always come back for is the chicken liver hummus, a dish I’ve never seen anywhere else. I would love to try a few of the fish dishes next time.

Small overpriced portions. I grew up eating this type of food and was very excited to go to a nicer restaurant offering the dishes my grandma used to make but was disappointed. Adding a picture of my $11 (w/o tax and tip) teacup of a soup. We also got the stuffed red pepper (1 pepper), and falafel starter. Sandwiches are not served at dinner (despite seeing a guy eating one on another table at 6.30pm).

They have the best masaka and lamb shank around. I’ve been a regular for quite some time and haven’t had a bad meal yet. We tend to take out.

Not very fond of the idea of adding too much spices on the chicken shawarma!!! It tastes like they added the spices on the moment of plating the food!’ Service was even worse than the chicken shawarma tastes!! No one asked us if we needed anything after they brought us food We ordered the the 6 side samplers and out of 6, only Labne was fresh, This restaurant needs some real Mediterranean chef!!

I firmly believe their hummus is Costco's hummus. Their Shakhshuka is as bitter as hell. Their Baba Ganoush is another cold condiment they buy from another store and tastes more like hummus! Their chicken kabab is as hard as rock with no specific taste, and dried out. Their kufta kabob feels like a combination of rubber+some meet+ some ground stone and a little touch of cement. On top of this, their prices will pack a serious punch in the end. Meaning you're not happy with what you had, you're unhappy by the check and yet they have a very kind service that will convince you to pay for the awful meal you just had. In the end, if you have ever tried any decent Middle Eastern cuisine, you will keep thinking about why you've wasted such a considerable amount of cash on such an awful meal. Once again, they are very kind and very hospitable but their food is completely the opposite. Please try Dish Dash, Dish n Dash, there's a Palestinian restaurant in downtown redwood ( I don't know the name) and another recently opened restaurant in San Leandro called Tio's Mediterranean. If you just try any of these, you won't even call this place a restaurant.

Good Mediterranean food with delicious dips! We ordered 6 side sampler and Tagliatelle pasta. The sampler had very tasty dips with warm soft pita bread. The pasta had marinara sauce with chicken meatballs. It was good but a bit dry. Nice cozy decor and both indoor and outdoor seating available. Service was good but a bit slow.

Food was way below average, we ordered fish fried- which was nothing but fish dipped in flour and fried, it was chewy and no taste at all. It was not even seasoned with salt and pepper. The falafel was better in all of the dishes we ordered, even though it’s not cooked through the middle, so you can think how bad the other dishes were. For main course we ordered Mansaf, the lamb shank. It was served with rice which is dry and under cooked and the lamb shank was very very dry and SWEET?? I gave two stars as the staff were friendly, checking on us frequently and the atmosphere was fine too. Very disappointed with the food, not sure where all the positive reviews are coming from.

Found this restaurant Yelp and it was a GOOD find. The food is AMAZING and the service beyond great. Ambiance is just a tad lackluster, but I don’t go out ‘to be seen’; I go for the good food and this place serves up some delicious foods. I can see this as a cute little date night spot, or a lowkey, quiet girls’ night. I don’t think there is a bar, but they do offer wine; alternatively, corkage is $25 which is very reasonable these days. Chris was our server and not only was he able to help us make some decisions, but he was also very friendly and very attentive. Some of our favs were 6-side sampler dips, branzino and the ribeye steak which I believe was a special that night. I must go back and try the lamb shank. Parking is easy as there is a dedicated standalone lot. Looking forward to another good meal there, and soon!

The service was disappointingly slow, and the food, despite its high price, was only average. My lamb skewers were undercooked and overly chewy, leading to the need for a return and additional wait time. Overall, it wasn't worth the experience.
