Delicious Mediterranean food. My husband and I shared a lamb Kofta plate and the labneh dip and that was more than enough food. Will definitely be coming back our next time in Santa Barbara.

Tamar is an absolute must-visit in Santa Barbara, especially if you love bold, fresh flavors. We loved everything about this place—the veggie options are outstanding, the flavors are vibrant and well-balanced, and everything tastes incredibly fresh. I had the cauliflower pita pocket, my husband tried the falafel, and both were amazing, but the real star was the pickled veggies served alongside. Bonus: they have a dog-friendly patio, which makes it even better when you’re exploring Santa Barbara with your pup.

Our favorite meal in Santa Barbara! This place is truly special. The flavors are incredible. The labneh dip, whipped ricotta dip, and chicken shawarma sandwhich particularly stood out. Wish they opened a branch in San Diego!

We had lunch at Tamar and absolutely loved it. The Chicken Shawarma Plate was incredible — crispy edges on the chicken, perfectly balanced saffron rice, and a smoky, delicious babaganoush. Service is self-serve with a buzzer, and the casual atmosphere made it an easy, relaxing meal. I sat indoors by an open bay window and it was perfect.
Great value and totally worth it. Definitely be back for the chicken again — and to try the lamb. So delicious and flavorful. Can’t wait to return!

Wow, blew me away. chicken shawarma plate so moist. Reasonably priced for SB especially funk zone. Check it out. I love Zaytoon, Taza, mezza thyme but this one wins. Bad reviews are prob others businesses in town. Check it out for yourself.
