Tamarai

We came here for dinner last night and were very satisfied. The food was good and the atmosphere was fantastic. Make sure you try the chef's dessert platter!

I agree with the Martina Mungai's comments about the magician: We had no idea that Tamarai had one, as it wasn't mentioned on their website (it should be!). But what a fantastic surprise!! He came to our table and showed us the most amazing miracles. It was classy, entertaining and unimposing. If you go to Tmarai, make sure to go when he's there. You won't be disappointed!

I went there a few weeks ago with a couple of friends. Nice decor, interesting cocktails, overall a fun place. It's expensive but it was worth it: what made our night special was the presence of a magician! You don't find that in many bars. He was going around showing tricks to people individually and they were great fun and really impressive. I don't know if they usually have this kind of shows at Tamarai as I am not a regular, but if they do it's certainly great added value to the place.

We had the Chefs' Tasting menu and it was worth. Fantastic wine list and a great staff.

I went to Tamarai last weekend with a couple of friends and we had great fun. First we had dinner which was delicious and then stayed on for the club, which was also amazing.

I have a great experience spending my anniversary at Tamarai. The venue is modern and very well decorated. The service was good and the food even better!! Some people say that Tamarai is a bit dark, but it worked very well for this romantic ocasion. I recomend it.

Marginally ostentatious decor but was offset by the dim lighting. Overall quality of service could improve with a degree of finesse (quality and speed) but this factor was partially waived by the quality and presentation of the food. Individual flavours could be dissected out but the combination in a given dish did make for good consumption. The á la carte menu though brief was sufficient for the carnivorous diner but for vegetarians, may seem a little limited. As an Oriental, I could not justify the cost of certain dishes, especially the small plates ! I would suggest you raid the piggy bank to dine at Tamarai unless they are advertising a special offer (like now). I would probably go back to Tamarai for a drink but not so enthralled about the food.

I cannot stress how uterly disgusted i was with the level of service by both staff and more suprisingly the Manager at this very overpriced restaurant. Firstly our waiter was insistant on our ordering both our starters and main dish straight away having only given us two minutes to consider the menu. The menu itself offered very little. Our waiter came over to our table to clear our starters away whilst i was still eating. The restaurant turns into a club later in the evening. My friends and i had ordered a round of drinks and on two occassions our glasses were cleared away when they were still half full. We complained to a member of staff who seemed completely uninterested and asked to speak to the Manager. The Manager again offered no apology, dismissed our complaint and when we asked his name in order to make a formal written complaint refused to give his name. We carried on with the rest of our eveing and i was even more appauled to later see another member of staff again clear away a half full glass from another table without checking with diners.
