There’s nothing like Takam in Canberra, so my partner and I decided to travel to Sydney and celebrate our anniversary there. The ambience is calming and intimate. Service is amazing, they really take their time in explaining their dishes, they are also very sweet and attentive when interacting with diners. The food was awesome! Full of creativity and sarap with every bite. Its modern pinoy and yet they never lost touch with the techniques and taste of the original pinoy dishes. I look forward to dining with friends and family next time. Thank you Takam!

Amazing new modern take on Filipino food. All the flavours are there but not your traditional plated Filo food. A blend of ingredients incorporating Australian native foods. Wait staff were outstanding, explaining everything on the menu and so, so friendly. Great cocktails with uniquely different ingredients. TAKAM is a great find in Darlinghurst. This place is exceptional. Very popular, a full house on a Wednesday night. Suggest you book a table or you may miss out.
