London's Only Fatteh Bar - and It's Female-Founded | Neighbourhood Watch

"At T by Tamara, founder Tamara Al Saadi, who has Palestinian and Jordanian roots and who grew up in Saudi Arabia, is celebrating the flavours of her childhood and the culture of the Levant. Her Marylebone cafe is filled with objects, like tiles from Jerusalem, prayer beads and mirrors from Jordan, and small keys that resemble the right of return to Palestine, that make it a home away from home."

"Fatteh, the layered dish of pitta, chickpeas, and garlic yoghurt sauce, is the signature dish and you can build it your way, customising your bowl with couscous, freekeh, tomato aubergine, sumac spiced chicken, and spiced ground beef. Other dishes include za'atar cheese manousheh, shakshuka, macaroni bil laban, musakhan flatbread, beid & lahme, and a mezzeh platter."

"Tamara's version of her grandma's cake - a vanilla sponge baked with olive oil and topped with pistachios - is a staple but there's also pain au chocolate, za'atar croissants, almond croissants, chocolate banana bread and cookies. And if you want something really special, Tamara also does custom cake orders."

The menu draws primarily from Al Saadi's mother's recipes and regional traditions. Fatteh, a layered dish combining pitta, chickpeas, and garlic yoghurt sauce, serves as the signature offering with customizable components. Additional dishes include za'atar cheese manousheh, shakshuka, musakhan flatbread, and mezzeh platters. The bakery section features Al Saadi's grandmother's olive oil cake topped with pistachios, alongside pain au chocolate, za'atar croissants, and other baked goods.
