Tamada
About
Your ideal destination for traditional Georgian dining in London, Tamada serves unique, eclectic cuisine in the very pleasant surroundings of St. John's Wood in North-West London. Georgian cuisine is perfect for more adventurous diners, who are tired of eating in the same Thai, Indian, Chinese and Italian restaurants on every corner, and instead seek a new gastronomic experience. Georgian cuisine is very specific to the country, but also features some influences from Middle Eastern and European culinary traditions. As each historical province of Georgia has its own distinct dining customs, Tamada's menu offers a variety of dishes with a high amount of various herbs and spices to enrich the flavour. In addition to the range of meat dishes such as Chaqapuli (Spicy Lamb Casserole flavoured with wine and plum sauce), Mscvadi Shashlik (Charcoal Grilled and Marinated Pork with plum sauce and potatoes) and Chakhohbili (Chicken braised in tomato and wine sauce with herbs, served with 'shoti puri'), Tamada also offers a selection of vegetarian meals. To accompany your meal, the knowledgable staff can also recommend a wine from Georgia, the oldest wine producing region in the world.

Delicious Georgian food! Went there with my wife and tried a lot of different dishes and Georgian wine with it. Really great food and the server was very nice and attentive. Will go back to try more dishes for sure. more
A Georgian friend of ours (now living in London) recommended this restaurant knowing we would be in London. 4 of us went. Three of us ordered the Jarkoe - Tamada Special baked layers of veal, onions, potatoes, cheese, herbs & tarragon which required a 45 minute wait. We had high expectations that were shot down. The veal was close to jerky as it was so over cooked, dry, and stringy.

I need to congratulate Tamada for making Georgian food and wine live up to its high reputation of being one of the best in the world.
The four starters and mains I had a chance to try ( no I don't have four stomachs - it was shared between a group of five ;) ) were served in hot clay bowls and plates making it even more authentic.
The Meze had an original taste and unusual ingredients. All... more
We had a great meal and there were lots of superb choices on offer. You have to appreciate Georgian food, but if you do then Tamada compares with the best of them. more
