Anyone for coffee? Not here!"},"content":{"rendered":"

We met our friends for dinner at Ta’am a local kosher restaurant located in Prestwich. I’ve been meaning to go there for ages..<\/p>\n

It was like watching the build of a never ending development… every time I passed it in the car, on the busy main road, it had building work going on.<\/p>\n

But not anymore… in fact it’s been open for ages.<\/p>\n

This incredibly busy place, located right next to a well known mobile phone retailer, is humming with its takeaway counter and trendy eating areas.<\/p>\n

The tables and walls have a cabin like feel, with look alike planks of wood.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You come here for middle eastern kosher food … and you’ll not be disappointed.<\/p>\n

We started with a hummus and lamb dish.. delicious! It was huge for two people and so I’m glad we ordered just one between four of us.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For the main course my wife had the Salt Beef, whilst I went for Ta’ams Schwarma, which I thoroughly enjoyed, accompanied by sweet potato chips and salad.<\/p>\n

In fact … it was all going great until we asked for hot drinks.<\/p>\n

“Sorry we don’t do hot drinks”<\/p>\n

“Sorry I said???? Surely you do mint tea? Or black coffee?”<\/p>\n

“No, sorry … we don’t do any hot drinks… we get asked all the time … but we just don’t do them.”<\/p>\n

Well that deflated the end of a nice meal!<\/p>\n

I think this is the very first restaurant I have ever visited where they don’t serve hot drinks.<\/p>\n

Forgetting my needs.. it certainly meant they lost out on the additional income they could have gained from most clients.<\/p>\n

I’ll be back to Ta’am though because we did enjoy the food, but unlikely for a special occasion… but then, it was that busy.. I doubt they’re waiting for us!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
