Christmas is a time for joy, togetherness and delicious food. If you find yourself spending Christmas in Lanzarote, one question might be: where will restaurants be open on Christmas Day and offer a warm, festive meal? Though not all restaurants stay open, there are good options, including Tamasha Playa Blanca. In fact, Tamasha is known for welcoming guests year-round, so it can be the perfect place to enjoy a “Christmas day menu” even without a special seasonal menu.
When you want cosy ambience, hearty meals and a friendly atmosphere, Tamasha can be your go-to for a Christmas party celebration in Lanzarote.
Speciality of Christmas party celebration at Tamasha
Tamasha Playa Blanca offers authentic Indian cuisine with a wide variety from sizzling tandoori grills to creamy, mild dishes.
The chefs at Tamasha bring traditional Indian flavours with modern dining standards.
- The restaurant is known to handle family diners, couples and travellers happily.
- Reviews often mention that dishes like “Butter Chicken,” “Chicken Village,” or mixed starters are favourites good for sharing and celebration-style meals.
Because of this variety and welcoming vibe, you don’t need a “Christmas menu” to enjoy a festive feast. Their existing menu works well for Christmas day gatherings, especially if you choose a mix of starters, mains and lighter dishes.
Start Your Lunch or Dinner with Starters
A great Christmas meal often starts with a special appetiser. At Tamasha Playa Blanca, you have plenty of excellent starter choices. Some perfect “Christmas day starters” are:
- Onion Bhaji: Deep-fried onion snacks made with gram flour, lentils, herbs and spices. Great crunchy start.
- Vegetable or Meat Samosa: A classic starter. Vegetable samosa for vegetarians or meat-filled for meat eaters.
- Tamasha Mixed Platter: A mix of samosa, onion bhaji, chicken tikka and sheek kebab. Very good if you’re sharing with friends or family.
- Prawn Puree: Spicy prawn curry wrapped in soft bread. It’s good if you like seafood and something a little different.
- Chicken or Paneer Pakora: Crispy fried bites; paneer is great for vegetarians, chicken for meat-eaters.
Starting with one or two of these gives you a festive, shareable “starter course” much like you’d expect in a Christmas party celebration.
Main meals to choose for your Christmas feast
After the starters, you’ll want something filling, warm and flavoursome. Tamasha offers a wide range of mains and many of them are suitable for a “Christmas day menu” feast. Here are some great main-meal picks:
- Butter Chicken: Rich, creamy and mild; perfect if you want a comforting curry that appeals to many tastes.
- Chicken Village: A signature, house-special dish: cubed chicken with spices, then cooked with minced lamb in a rich sauce. Great for those who want something hearty.
- Paneer Makhani: For vegetarians: soft cottage cheese (paneer) cooked in creamy tomato-butter sauce. A delicious and mild main.
- Tandoori Mixed Grill: For meat lovers: an assorted platter with chicken tikka, lamb tikka, sheek kebab, tandoori chicken, naan bread and ideal if you want a “feast” feel and share among friends/family.
- Lamb dishes: For those preferring red meat, there are various lamb curries and tandoori lamb options.
These mains give you flexibility: creamy and mild for some, spicy and bold for others for making it easy to build a Christmas party meal that suits everyone.
Vegetarian & mild-taste options (for kids or gentle eaters)
Not everyone likes spicy or heavy food, especially in a celebration with family or kids. At Tamasha, there are vegetarian and mild-flavour options to include everyone.
Paneer Makhani is creamy, mild, and vegetarian. Vegetable Samosa or Onion Bhaji as lighter starters. Possibly plain naan bread, rice dishes or mild curries (some reviews mention that for families with children, Tamasha offers easy/tame dishes).
Thus, you can plan a kid-friendly or guest-friendly Christmas day menu without worrying about too much spice.
Visiting Tamasha on Christmas Day
While Tamasha doesn’t publish a special “Christmas Menu,” they are known to serve regular meals throughout the year. According to online ratings and information, Tamasha Playa Blanca welcomes guests and offers a full range of meals, making it a great option for Christmas Day dinner. Before you go, it’s a good idea to make a reservation as Christmas and holiday time usually attract more visitors. You can also let the team know if you want milder or child-friendly dishes, or if you prefer something spicy and the staff are very friendly and happy to guide you with flavours. If you are visiting in a group, sharing dishes is a fun idea. Starters and mixed grills are perfect for sharing and give a happy “party food” feeling. By doing this, you can enjoy your meal without stress and make it feel like a real “Christmas party celebration.”
