About us
Tamu Tamu Cuisine (Tamu Tamu) was established by a group of parents in 2015 in response to a request to provide professional onsite cafeteria services with a high level of owner commitment at the International Community School of Abidjan (ICSA). In partnership with the school, Tamu Tamu designed and equipped the current kitchen to be able to prepare meals onsite in a safe and hygienic environment. Over the years, we have consistently strived to meet stakeholder expectations which has seen us continue offering our services to the ICSA community.

Our Offering
Tamu Tamu offers a variety of safe and nutritious meals in a clean, friendly, and hygienic environment. Over 95% of our meals are prepared onsite from fresh ingredients. We do not serve any leftover lunches or snacks the next day.
We have a diverse and rich menu picked from over 100 recipes (consisting of African, American, European, Asian cuisine) that ensure the menus are non-repetitive in any month and provide different lunch options to cater for different cultural, dietary and nutrition needs.
Our typical daily menu will have at least 7 lunch options consisting of: -
- Main non-vegetarian meal
- Main vegetarian meal
- Choice of 5 daily ‘’Lunch Snacks’ - Chicken panini/sandwich, Beef panini/sandwich, Tomato & Cheese panini/sandwich, Tuna panini/sandwich, Grilled Chicken salad box
We have also developed a special kiddie menu to cater for the PK- Grade 3 students and picky eaters. These are simple but nutritious meals.
Our philosophy is not to let any child go without lunch and we work with the teachers to ensure children who forgot their lunch or dropped their lunch or where their lunch went bad, are able to get a meal at the cafeteria even when they do not have an account. Similarly, we are flexible with parents and teachers when it comes to payment, allowing students and staff to eat on credit when they are not able to immediately fund their accounts.
