Verifiably safe ·what tier A+ means

Tamam Cafe explicitly markets itself as 'Halal Certified' across its official website and menu. The homepage states '100% Halal Certified' and 'Halal certified' in multiple places. All meat dishes (Chicken Shawarma, Lamb Kofta, Beef Shawarma, Mixed Grill, Lamb Shawarma, Kafta) are individually labelled 'Halal' on the menu. The venue describes itself as preparing 'premium halal ingredients'. However, the specific certifying body is not named in any source, so while the claim is strong and consistent across two official sources, we cannot confirm which accreditation body certified them and therefore cannot record a bodySlug. Tier A is assigned on the basis of consistent, prominent, official certification claims across the venue's own materials.

The menu marks several dishes as 'Vegetarian': Halloumi Pocket, Grilled Vegetable Wrap, Greek Salad, Cheese Sambousek. It also marks multiple dishes as 'Vegan,' which are inherently vegetarian. No dedicated preparation area is mentioned. The kitchen handles meat throughout, so a shared-prep cross-contamination risk exists.

The menu marks several dishes 'Vegan': Falafel Pocket, Falafel Wrap, Fattoush Salad, Tabbouleh, Hummus, Baba Ganoush, Falafel (5 pcs), Garlic Dip, Pita Bread, Grilled Vegetable Wrap (marked Vegetarian — contains feta so not vegan), Date Balls. No dedicated vegan fryer or prep area is mentioned. The kitchen also prepares meat, dairy (halloumi, tzatziki, feta), and egg-containing dishes. The menu marking is present but cross-contamination risk in a shared kitchen is unaddressed.

confidence 55%

The menu contains no fish or seafood dishes. The vegan and vegetarian dishes marked on the menu would all be suitable for pescatarians. No explicit pescatarian labelling exists, but the marked vegetarian and vegan options are evidently fish-free, as the full menu has no fish. A shared kitchen with meat remains a consideration for strict pescatarians concerned about cross-contamination.
