Tamada

After a recommendation from our Georgian friend we decided to visit this Georgian Restaurant. Food was great and inexpensive! Khachapuri was incredible - everyone who wants to taste the best khachapuri in London should visit Tamada on Boundary Rd. We, all four of us, were very pleased with the service and had really good time.

Went to Tamada last week. Great place with romantic atmosphere and professional but not uptight service. The food was worth a trip from South London where we live. Already reserved a table for the Valentines day.

We are fortunate enough to live walking distance from Tamada the food is delicious and unusual and the atmosphere welcoming. Last week I tried something a little different. A friend and I signed up for one of the cookery classes given by the owner Tamara, I have enjoyed the starters prepared with walnuts so much that I wanted to learn how to prepare them myself. We had a terrific afternoon, two hours was gone in a flash we were having so much fun, just the three of us. Max for any class is four. At the end we sat down with a glass of delicious Georgian wine,nibbled a little of what we had produced and some delicious cheese bread cooked by Tamara. She was really interesting and informative to talk to and you don't need professional culinary skills. A lesson with her would make a great present if you were stuck for something a little different. At the end we took home what we had cooked and gave a supper party for six starting and starring with stuffed aubergine, spinach ball and the redbean dip.

Went to Tamada last Tuesday. Was quiet only 3 tables, so we were not sure whether or not to go in. However the display menu looked very tempting so we decided to risk and where not disappointed at all. As soon as we entered it felt like we came to visit a friend. We received very warm welcome from the waitress accompanied by lots of advice on the dishes to order. We were told that a cheese bread and stuffed aubergines were something to be tried. Very good advice indeed! For the main we shared dumplings. If you order dumplings make sure you don't use any cutlery, they must be eaten by hands. We had real exotic gastronomic experience!

Simply good, this is how I would describe Tamada. Very relaxed atmosphere, tasty food and not so expensive. While everything is delicious the walnut cake still stands out more than anything else. Don't leave without trying it.

I am surprised that this place is not packed every day. I suppose it is the worst time to run a restaurant as the recession has hit us badly. Tamada is an excellent place with great choice of authentic Georgian dishes. You can

order selection of starters and be happy with your meal. Don't hesitated to try the wine and will be pleasantly surprised. Very reasonable pricing, but we ordered only five starters and a bottle of wine accompanied with a cake to share for only £52.60 for two.

Will be back for a dinner on my next pay day J, Sarah

We decided to spend new year’s eve at Tamada. The set menu looked very interesting and it proved to be delicious as well. All starters were beautifully presented. The salmon and flat chicken had mouth-watering sauce, which made the dishes even more tasty. The staff were friendly dressed in a nice traditional outfits. Everything was planned to a detail, food, music even fireworks where promptly at mid night. We had a very different  night to remember.

the day I moved to the neighbourhood  I decided  to walk around and look for a places to eat. I was strolling down to Abbey Road when I came across a lovely village type section of Boundary Road with many ethnic restaurants. Well -  life seemed more interesting than ever as I love trying various cuisines. Only after I tried all the restaurants which I must say were nice I decided to write about the Georgian Restaurant Tamada. The restaurant looked nice and modern and extremely clean, so   I instantly liked the atmosphere. They were  some modern paintings on the walls, played nice Georgian  music that matched the ambience of the restaurant. The food and wine were delicious! I went for the cheese bread for a starter and  the spicy lamb casserole  as main course. Despite I am not a big fan of lamb, I was told that this was a bestselling main course. So I went for it. Wow! that was something – so many flavorous at the same time, very interesting and tasty indeed. Very reasonably priced, lovely staff and delicious food, what else one can wish to have just next door! Strongly recommended.

I was taken to Tamada for my birthday. Possibly the best meal of my life? Most of the food stood up to the high expectations. You could taste each key ingredient, and everything on the plate of maze worked in perfect harmony with a khachapuri cheese bread. The second course, was a further culinary experience as I had giant dumplings. A lamb dish I tasted from my boyfriend’s plate had a stunning flavour and was cooked to perfection. The atmosphere in the restaurant was cosy and warm with a candle on each table and low lighting. Finally the dessert, a combination of a rich walnut cake and a light grape jelly, Georgian pudding, was perfect. When the desserts came out mine had a candle in it and happy birthday written in a cherry syrup on the plate. What made the evening for me was the dessert was accompanied by Tamara who came out to congratulate me and to talk to all other tables. The way she was received it seemed that half of the diners knew her well. She was very elegant and charming. The wines were generally well picked and complimented each course beautifully. Thank you for an amazing evening, and good luck on well deserved recognition!

We recently chose Tamada to host my fiancé's birthday dinner for a total of 25 people. We wanted some new experience and were recommended by our neighbours. Staff at Tamada couldn't have made the evening more special. From the moment I called to make a booking I knew that I found something very special. Since it was a big party, Tamara, the hostess, recommended a feast menu and insisted that we should play a part in choosing the menu for the night. We met her a week before a big day and were amazed with her flexibility and kindness. She wanted to ensure that the food on the evening was exactly to our taste. We chose a big selection of recommended dishes for

the night, and she put this together for £25 per person for 3 courses (with dishes such both clod and hot starters with walnuts, lamb casserole, salmon, and some vegetarian options, etc.). The food on the night was exceptional very tasty indeed. The atmosphere in the restaurant was great, buzzing and busy, with good soft lighting and a background music. We took over a private room with a burgundy decor and Georgian paintings and stayed on drinking well into the night after finishing dinner. By the time we left it was well

after midnight but at no point did Tamara make us feel as though we had to leave. In fact a young man Zura, apparently a partner, came out and after producing a Georgia toast gave us a bottle of a very special semi-sweet wine as a present making us even more comfortable. A great evening and very enjoyed by all means!
