    Tamu Tamu serves a blend of amazing flavors. Plant-based at its best! The Tangy Hummus plate is a must try. It has a subtle ambiance and Shiva (owner) is one of the nicest host... Other Must Trys - Pita Pockets, Zatar Pita Tamu Tamu also has lunchbox options for delivery. Never stay hungry ;)

    The decor is minimal, the proprietor is a delight to chat with, and the food is yummy. Great food that also happens to be plant-based. Reasonably priced and good portion size. Highly recommend .

    Best Falafel, Beautiful Venue We were in Chennai for just two nights, but resolved to eat as much as possible at Tamu Tamu, having sampled some of their menu on our first evening! We tried the “Breads and Falafels” - pita bread, zaatar bread, falafel with pickle, harissa vegetable, hummus, red chilli sauce, parsley-coriander sauce and tahini -, “Pita Pocket” - pita filled with a colourful mix of falafel, hummus, tahini, pickled turnip, fried brinjal, salad, jalapeños, paprika and gherkins -, and sides of more pita and falafel (we were hungry after a 6 hour train journey from Bangalore! The falafel are the best we have had in ages! We also tried the Date Juice, which is delicious - date juice blended with almonds - and the cardamom flavoured Turkish Coffee. The venue itself is fresh and beautifully designed, and the owner and people working here are so friendly and clearly passionate about this place! Highly recommended!

    We have been regulars at this place. Our favorites are the Lebanese Meal Box and the Hummus Bowl. Having traveled a fair amount and having tasted mediterranean food elsewhere in the world, can definitely say that the food at Tamu Tamu is up there.

    Best and affordable vegan food in the city! If you like Mediterranean cuisine, don't miss this place! Their Naga king Chilli dip with Zaatar pita bread and falafels is a must try dish, if you like hotttt dips/chutneys. One of the hottest Chillis in the world, and this is probably the only place in the city which serves this. All their dips are a must try! I lovee the Pita pockets at the place. A burst of different flavors from the hummus, pickled vegetables, falafels. I'm a regular here and order at least twice a month. Prompt delivery, delicious food and a very courteous service!

    Any time I am feeling low on energy and looking for a very fulfilling meal, I think of Tamu Tamu. I've tried all of their variations of pitas and meals and they are unique and satisfying in their own way. They maintain high integrity and respect for tradition while adding a bit of their own personality that adds just enough novelty to raise the experience to a another level. I am also extremely touched by the owner's generous spirit and patience for allowing me to order on an allowance. I am a visitor to Chennai and do not have a local debit/credit card. I am extremely humbled by his trust and patience. Food is made with true love and care. This place is all vegan restaurant and the only one in Chennai. Thank you for creating a respite for those seeking an experience that is more than just a meal.

    Worst experience. Nobody answers their registered contact number. Went there directly as we were searching for a veg Lebanese cuisine but unfortunately it was very difficult to locate them and it’s a kitchen in a rooftop and wasn’t in a great shape. Came back with an worst experience with family. 😡

    I cannot express how much I love this place. Firstly, delicious food, the best flavoured hummus ever - top notch ingredients in the perfect combination. Second - it's all vegan and healthy - very limited use of oil because their flavours are all on point. Finally, an affordable place! I've gone all out and ordered from them like seven times in the last two weeks. Do not miss the pita pockets!

    Happened to visit this place with family with lot of apprehensions. But to our delight turned out to be a highly enjoyable experience. Tasty and healthy food with wide variety of choices.

    Quaint little spot on RK Salai. Great Lebanese food. It's awesome that it's vegan as well! Shiva is great to talk to and hope they do really well! ? I wish they has proper parking and a little more easy on the pocket.

    A lovely Mediterranean culinary oasis in the heart of Chennai. The hummus bowl with bite-sized falafels and various toppings, including capers, bursts with flavour and is deceptively filling. My 4-year-old, whose tastes are surprisingly refined, loved the kid's plate. We loved it, but be warned that this is not a standard restaurant, as it's a small, cozy place, serving only a few customers at a time. From our conversation with the owner, it seems like a starting point for where the owners want to go as a business. They already have meal boxes and other ideas to reach out to a larger customer base. Good luck Tamu Tamu.

    After all rave reviews decided to go and dine here, and wow this place needs to learn how to welcome a customer, I entered, it was only 2 tables and was full. never mind walked up to the counter and was handed over a menu card and i was looking through only to be snatched away by a very very rude women (looked like the owner of the place) discarding me ignoring me totally looking at the menu. i was walking out and no one really cared! never again to this place, hope they learn how to welcome and handle customers

    Authentic ,fresh and absolutely vegan.A bliss for all Mediterranean lovers .Their concept of serving fresh is their USP.Totally in love with the food there.

    This small outlet has become my favourite place for casual lunch. The lunch combo they offer is tooo good,Also the pita pocket is must try for people who love lebonense cusine. The humus & the tangy sauce is amazing. The naga chilli is a great dare for spice lovers. Last but not the least, The owner Mr.Shiva is very attentive & takes very good care and has good person to have a conversation as well

    We've ordered multiple times from Tamu Tamu (Chennai's first 100% vegan restaurant) and their food and service has never failed to impress us. Must trys include their Lebanese Meal Box and Pita pockets. Bursting with their heavenly hummus goodness in each bite (The best hummus in town). Oh and their Zaatar Pita is simply amazing! Such generous portion sizes for the nominal cost too. Healthy 100% plant-based food at its best.

    I would like to highly recommend this wonderful food outlet. The food was so delicious and had me wanting more even though the portions were generous. The prices are very reasonable and the delivery was pretty quick. We had ordered Lebanese Meal Box and Naga King Chilli. Both of them were unlike anything I have tried before. Will definitely be trying all their other menu items!
