I came into tahinis very excited as the food is always so delicious! I was greeted with fantastic customer service and fast cooking speed to have the most delicious meal !!!!! . You can see in the kitchen and see how hard they are working to prepare everyone’s food despite how busy it is. They keep their faces smiling!
This place is too over priced. 1 can of 7up cost up to 4$ and taste is also not very good
Waited 15 minutes for my take out beef brisket shawarma yet there was no one else being served. This skinny little shawarma was more like a small breakfast burrito but $17.00 plus tax. Don't see the value in this and I feel cheated. Could barely taste the brisket and also skimpy on the toppings. When you pay that much for a product there should be some value. Very dissapointed and left feeling cheated. Have been here many times before but quality and quantity have declined. Oh...and clean your washrooms. Disgusting!!! Check out my other reviews as they are real and accurate.
Just went in and Got a large chicken shawarma wrap and a regular size butter chicken bowl, the portions were exceptionally reasonable and it was absolutely delicious thank you Rose for making us a great meal!
I want to start with staff in the store are great. All the time 100%. And the food I've ordered has always been good. But whoever is running the online ordering at the corporate level as well as deciding the phone systems. That person is the worst. No custom options for most items on the website, app is gone, having to wait through some huge automated speech to speak to people at the location. Just makes for a poor experience.
We had the best shawarma wraps ever here today. We were going to go in to Subway and decided to check this place out and glad we did. Friendly counter staff and a nice crispy wrap. How did they do that? Other places have a soft rubbery wrap that I end up pulling away and discarding the top. Thank you. Too bad you are not further north!
Our first time there. Good delicious food, friendly service, and a clean restaurant. Thank you.
Worst Gyro I’ve ever had. Took them 15 minutes to make, even though the restaurant was dead. No idea what was even on this monstrosity. I threw it out and went to McDonald’s. Only positive is the “large” size is actually large, as it should be for $18. The down side to that is my garbage can is now extra full.
Great Shawarma and friendly service. The regular size was larger than expected and delicious.
Blossom - Best shawarma in town. We love coming here.
We come here weekly if not more, the service is great. The food fresh and hot and Delicious!
We love this place!! Every Thursday we call and order dinner to pick up. The staff is so friendly and helpful and the food is delicious!!! We have tried many Shwarma places but this restaurant and this location is the best!!! Highly recommend!!!
Very tasty food
Why such a change in rating? Well for one, reduced portion amount, two reduced standard topping amount. But the kicker, is no utensils. How are we suppose eat without a spoon or fork? How do they make this right? Oh, well send somebody with a fork, right away (even though you lunch break will be done by the time this review is posted).
Not huge on the food or portions. I get the hype but it s expensive and their menu is a bit confusing. My wife does love it though!
WAY too saucy. No flavour. Toppings are minimal. Will not come back.
I love the food and the ambiance. The costumer service is excellent. Mihir took time to ask if we were fine or are we having a good time. I will surely come by next time.
Amazing food and portions. Had 2 Shawn bowls last night. Amazing quality.
One of my favourite spots for takeout. Friendly staff, tasty food.
Came with a group of five people, everyone got the Habibi bowl. It was advertised to have pita chips in it with salad, but once we got the dishes and opened them up in the car, they had no toppings, but simply chicken and rice. We had already left the store at that time, but upon calling me back, it was confirmed that the reason that most of the toppings were missing was because they didn t have it in stock. This is extremely disappointing and very unprofessional from the staff. If the toppings aren t available, at least let the customer know but instead, the guy at front cashier didn t mention anything and give us the food is normal. Extremely disappointed in this location and the food and chicken had a distinct smell and taste to it. Next time, please inform your customers when there are toppings missing and keep a professional atmosphere in the store. I highly recommend anyone visiting to avoid this place and go to any other Shawarma store in the city.
Ordered butter chicken wrap. It was good but i also wanted to buy one drink but girl was wearing headphones. I tried multiple times even calling on customer phone . She never paid any attention. Awful!!
Called in on the way up north and took a chance - so glad we did! Superb food, generous portions and deal of the day was great value. One of the best takeouts I have ever had - will be back!
Had them make me a messy fries with rice instead of French fries because I m trying to eat healthier. Very accommodating staff and delicious food!
I ordered two Shawarmas and ask for lots of garlic sauce. The meat was not fresh, it was so dry, chewy and overcooked from old meat being reheated. Also there was so little sauce you couldnt even taste garlic. I had eaten here last year and it was fresh and delicious, obviously they stopped caring what quality of food The are putting out since they opened. Both myself and my wife took a couple of bites and looked at each other in disbelief on how bad the food was. Needless to say we both through out the food and ordered from somewhere else. I probably should have walked out when I saw the place was void of customers right at dinner time and only one person working. We will not be returning again.
Love the food and the staffs are so friendly! Vimal makes the best Jamaican Jerk Chicken Bowl!
Great food and healthier than most.
With all respect, you guys really need to train your workers about customer service specifically Vimal. Your other employees are well aware that sometimes a customer may have some modifications to an order . I don t seem to understand what was so complicated to add tomato s to an Arabian bite order. I ve never had any difficult in store to do this at any tahinis we order from, but Vimal made it a huge issue. Really frustrating and unfair and this is a huge customer service issue.
Just bought a Shawarma wrap from here it was old and dry, so I took it back and asked for a refund and the guy started yelling at me. He said and I quote, buddy. The last guy just came in and complained too, and I said no. Understand I wasn t gonna get a refund, but he could ve been a little nicer. Terrible customer service
We ordered two meals. Meal 1 was gyro with rice it was all out cold not nice at all. MEAL 2 Chicken Shawarma with messy fries, chicken tasted boiled almost raw. Owners you need to train your staff. When I complained I was told we just got it from the pot. What does that even mean. The food was COLD, where was the pot placed in the fridge??? The gyros were almost cold not warmed up at all. I could give 0 stars. I hope I dont get sick as I ate some of the chicken. Absolute disappointment!!
Amazing food with great service and atmosphere!!
I ordered falafal wrap from this shope. Its my first time in this shop. I was looking for a vegetarian option but I didnt find any so I ask one worker name Mihir. He was a great help he suggested me one good wrap which I tried and its so good . The coustomer service was so good. I fully satisfied with the service of tahinis . Also I had a good beverage of guava and I love it .
Went first time ever, I was looking to try something new to eat, didn t knew what to order, but the staff was very well trained, there was one guy mihir or something, has explained me menu and told me that they have something delicious, I didn t remember the name some falafal and some juice l, was best combination i have ever had, forgot to thank him thanks buddy if you are reading it, definitely will try again.
Great Food. The daily specials for $8 were a good deal for a lunch, too bad they stopped that. Prices in general are high for what you ger.
We went here for lunch today just to try it. I ordered the gyro wrap and two samosas. Phenomenal service, quick to welcome in guests, and food is made fresh. It is absolutely worth the price. Excellent flavors. I want to touch base with some of these bad reviews Ive just read... To the lady complaining that she had to wait 15 minutes. Yes, they make your food fresh and make the effort to serve you a quality product. To the man saying worst gyro ever. This is a tahini themed restaurant. Its not a traditional greek gyro. Its the Tahini version of the gyro. And I thought it was absolutely fabulous. Come here with an open mind and be ready to try something new. I look forward to trying other things on this menu when I return.
Since opening in Orillia I ve enjoyed the chicken shawarma wraps that your restaurant offers in our area but unfortunately had a negative experience at your Orillia location recently. I was initially overcharged for the promotional Med Chick Shawarma Wrap until I pointed it out, then told I could only have it Regular and not Old School, then I am certain we were given a smaller portion than usual as I ve had the same size multiple times. My son and I both recognized the difference in size immediately once we arrived home to open the packaging and unfortunately remained hungry afterwards. I was left feeling unimpressed as a local customer.
Amazing food, amazing service and great atmosphere!!
Very friendly staff, and delicious food, platters are great to share. If you enjoy shawarma, youll love it here
Amazing food and service!! Must try the Messy Fries!
Excellent food and service loved the falafel
They were super friendly and nice and the food is the best around town, the bathrooms were super clean. I got the jamaican jerk chicken bowl. Its the best ive ever had lol would highly recommend and am definitely going again
Great food. Beautiful warmth in the bowls seasoning and the salads are incredibly fresh and lovely. Friendly folks and quick preperation. Absolutely worth a visit.
While all the staff here are pleasant I most often get served by Mihim and he is a big part of why I come back! Spectacular service and very tasty food make here my #1 go to fast food spot! Vegetarian options: Wide arrangement of vegetarian options
The jerk chicken bowel wowewee
Had a large chicken shawarma. Its an upsale from whats on the menu ($19 with a tip). As soon as I saw it, I regretted it. It was massive and tasty, but the chicken was pulled from a steam line. I wish they would cut it then maybe add a little heat on the grill when required. Anyway, I made it through half the wrap and it was pretty decent. Super friendly service too!
Best shawarma around. So much flavour, so happy we tried this place. Definitely our new go to. Mango juice is to die for!
The best customer service ever, went in January 30 at 11am. A must try, highly recommend their Messy fries and Habibi Bowl. 10/10
Great service!!!
Great for whole family. I ordered the shawarma platter , and a wrap and a bowl. Every thing was fresh tasty and prepared quickly. The staff were friendly and helpful. Thank you tahinis for a awesome dinner
Good good & friendly staff
Amazing food and the service is great! Their staff have passion for the food they serve. I got their butter chicken bowl and they suggested their spicy garlic sauce and pita chips on top, so good!
I like the Falafel
Good and decent food Friendly customer service Food
The Middle Eastern shawarma place in Orillia is an absolute delight! The flavors of their shawarma are simply outstanding, leaving your taste buds craving more. We were visiting from Richmond hill and found this must-visit spot in Orillia for those seeking delicious shawarma and genuine hospitality! Great customer service by owner and staff.
For is awesome here !

Tasty, fresh and authentic Mediterranean food! recommended!
Food is delicious and good customer service staff is to friendly
I eat shawarma way too often, but when I found Tahinis, I got their food 5 Times between lunch and dinner over 7 days. Its delicious, fresh, and I would recommend to anyone in the area
Very friendly, great food. My favourite place for falafel
One of my favorite new franchises and this location does not disappoint! The service is top notch and the food is great. Happy to write a review even if I didn t get a free mango juice lol
Good quality food
nice food
Great food. Good people
Taste is good, but a little bit overpriced for the portions you get.
Excellent food must try once
Vegetarian options: Must Try Falafel on Rice
Best shawarma in town
We got the chicken shawarma wraps with beef samosas and it was absolutely delicious! Price was really reasonable and they have tons of options to customize your meal (:
Always great food. Fast and friendly. Order online and skip the line. Highly recommend.
Our new Go To for falafel in Orillia!
Best shawarma in town
Delicious & very kind workers! If you are in Orillia its a must try!
Great food & service! I love this spot
AWESOME shawarma! Yummy food. The guys are SO very friendly and helpful. Overall great experience. Thank you. We LOVE Tahini s and come back regularly. Recommended dishes
The jerk chicken shawarma bowl is fantastic and huge!
As far as falafels go, very meh. I tried Tahinis once, a while ago, and wasnt impressed. Gave it a go a second time and remember why. If you want a falafel with no taste, this is the place to go. Hardly any spice at all, hummus is tasteless, the tahini is so watered down its useless and even the tomato was anemic the only thing that added a hint of flavour was the hot sauce. The so called pita is too heavy/doughy. I really miss the falafels I used to get in Toronto falafels that actually taste like falafels. Still havent found a place in Orillia that compares. Hard pass, wont go back.
Just doin my Saturday errands, kinda chilly (should have worn a jacket) and apparently I tripped and fell into actual flavour country. By that I mean I tried a wrap from here. Service was great, and the wrap was incredible. Even the other customers were friendly. Like all of em. Literally everyone in there was happy to be there. Will be back, but Im full now so I need a bit of time. Dietary restrictions: Theyve marked vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and all that stuff.
Excellent as always! Great food and excellent customer service!
Had the gyro lamb wrap. Excellent. I will return there again. Place was very clean and staff friendly. Parking: Great
Try to eat in tahinis orilla first time. Very friendly staff during my visit name adtul and parminder. Food is way way better than osmow. Restaurant is very clean. Good job. Will comeback for more Food
I just ate some spicy messy fries and a gyro wrap - am in heaven. Credit it is due. Thank you! I will be back.
The best quick service restaurant in Orillia! The food is always fresh + delicious and service is always friendly.
My first experience was worthy of returning again and again. The staff was helpful, patient and friendly as I studied the delectable menu. I ordered the Shawn bowl w falafel and every bite was packed FULL of flavor and different from the last - I didnt want it to end! The value, quantity and quality all aligned. 5 stars. Would recommend. Well done!
Very clean space! Great customer service
Best falafel ever! Must try the crunchy wrap!
Perfect place for dine in/take out, very fast service and friendly staff!
Mitul served us today and had great costumes service!
Absolutely delicious! Stumbled upon in a pinch when we were starving and it s a beautiful little hidden gem. Great friendly staff, amazing prices and substantial quantities!! Will be a regular for us when we re in Orillia
WOW! Our exact words pulling in hmmm, this is new, and it looks like a chain (not big chain people) but it s Mediterranean. We LOVE Mediterranean cuisine. Let s try it. Absolutely incredible! Shawarma amazing. Habib bowl Sauces next level amazing. Affordable? Sweet and attentive staff and owner. Way to go! Y all will be our go to whenever we are in Orillia!
Super clean establishment and KILLER shawarma. Ive had shawarma from many different places and this place could very well take the cake. Shawarma junkie? Then you gotta try this place.
Amazing first experience here. Authentic, high quality taste!
We ordered the one for all family meal and the food was tasty and well presented. The store bought pitas were disappointing and not the freshest. The family meal was $77 and serves 4 to 5 as stated in the menu but there was not enough salad nor was there enough of the sauces to serve 4-5 people.
Great service and the food is delicious. We have tried other shawarma but this place is by far the best. Keep up the great work guys.
Finally managed to try this place tonight and wasnt disappointed. Friendly staff that explained the different dishes with my meal (ordered the Ultimate Meal for 2). Everything tasted delicious and will definitely return. Not the cheapest meal out there, but well in the price range for good food. Look forward to returning and trying more off the menu
Amazing
Food is decent. But horrendous at having uber eats orders ready for drivers. Time slows down in 1 horse towns like Orillia.. it really does. Time does not equal money up here.
Wrap was quite oily and hard to bite and chew. More vegetables would have made it seem fresher.
Super friendly service, fast, fresh, great quality!
Thats it, Im moving to Mediterranea, or wherever this food comes from. And I have no idea why anyone from there would leave. This food is the BOMB. This was my first visit, and the server at the counter suggested chicken shawarma which I chose with old school toppings. Chefs kisses! 10/10 Food
Not sure how the food is yet as Ive ordered and have been waiting 20 minutes for 2 chicken shwarma bowls
Every time we come here we forget how good it is. We got the ultimate box for 2 to try more things and it easily could have fed 3-4 people. And of course had to add a side of the lentil soup. 10/10 definitely give this place a try!
Usually, I would rate 5 stars because Tahini s is my favourite spot to get food in Orillia - it is always delicious! Especially as a vegetarian, they have great options. However, the past two times we have gotten it, the wraps are different and unfortunately less good (they are more like Pita Pit wraps, than the thicker type I m used to getting at Tahini s), and their cabbage mixture seems to have a heavy taste of mayo (which it didn t have previously). All that being said, the food is still very good, but these changes are a little disappointing. However, I will still continue to patronize the business, as the food is still very good even despite the changes!
First time and we loved it. Best shawarma I ever had. Just have no words to express how great that was. Thank you
Best shawarma ever!!
Have had food from here a few times always very good,staff are pleasant and food always ready in a timely manner
It was our first time to try Tahinis. We got the family feast. It was a great way to try a little of everything. Lots of variety. And you can pick your heat level. We will definitely be going back again soon.
Friendly staff
Another Awesome meal. One of my favourite places to go for lunch!
My favorite shawarma place
Delicious shawarma served. Fast service. We tried Baklawa as well and it was yummy. Falafals are crispy and up to the mark taste. Must visit.
Amazing service and grope at tahini s. Best Mediterranean cuisine in Ontario. The shawarma wraps are outstanding.
Vegetarian options: Falafel is outstanding vegetarian option along with salads Dietary restrictions: Gluten friendly and very conscious towards cross contamination Parking: Fabulous
Great food!! I love the hummus and falafel Vegetarian options: Falafel and hummus yummy Food : 5/5 |
The food is so great!
Excellent taste, fast service and clean environment . Will surely visit again. Thanks Mitulbhai for the service. Vegetarian options: Was really good
Amazing service and great food
Friendly staff, great quality food.
I picked up a chicken shawarma on my way through town, it was delicious! Sadly I had to edit this review as it appears to be hit and miss; we stopped there again but today there seems to be issues with getting things right. First shawarma was wrong, so he remade it only to make it dry, no tahini,no garlic just dry chicken in the center of it. It was awful. I wont be stopping there again, next I guess I will try Osmos.
Great service
Oh man, in the food desert of Orillia, thank god for Tahinis. amazing flavor, perfectly cooked and seasoned rice, sauce is amazing, fresh veg, super juice chicken, all i ever asked for.
Been trying out restaurants in Orillia and I finally hit the jackpot! This little treasure Tahini s Mediterranean fusion cuisine, is outstanding. I had to tell the cook personally that they are doing an amazing job, It really is a fusion with inspirations from India, Jamaica, and the Mediterranean, the options are endless, I had a butter chicken wrap with fries, they legit have the best fries I ve ever had. (All meat is halal which is also amazing) 10/10 I HIGHLY recommend giving Tahini s a try I wouldn t be surprised if this becomes you re new favourite place. Clean environment friendly staff, quick good service. I will be back.
Great food. Friendly service. Always consistent taste. Highly recommended.
Actually bad food, but it could just be a taste thing, even though I like other Mediterranean food. Dont recommend.
Delicious food, great service, wonderful packaging, amazing seating and their washroom was clean and spotless. I am definitely coming back again!
Best food and great quality.
We had Jerk chicken bowl and falafel over rice , it was yumm
Try the jerk chicken wrap!
Wonderful friendly service always, with exceptional food. Great place to eat!! Highly recommend.
Very good costumer service. Patient, knowledgeable and Ofc it tastes great!
Tasty food at a decent price point. I felt like I got good value for the money I paid if you compare to other similar meals. Nice toast on the wrap that gave it a pop of flavour. Exactly the flavour profile I was looking forward to in a fast food style shawarma.
three good
I usually like tahinis but not this one. We had a gyro wrap and habibi bowl with curry fries with literally no seasoning. Wrap, no taste at all, asked to add some extra fried onions, but was not able to find any. Habibi bowl was ok. Won t recommend this shop to any shawarma lovers. Overpriced and overrated.
Great service, friendly prices and delicious chicken shawarma wrap! Supreme location next to Food Basics and Shinybud. Definitely recommend.
Great customer service and delicious food
Loved it

Mmmm, this gyro is so good . The prices are good too for once
The service was excellent and staff were very friendly and helpful. We ordered a ton of food for a family gathering and the pricing was extremely reasonable. It was our first time ordering and the quality and flavour of the food was excellent. Highly recommend. We will be coming back.
Very good wrap
Amazing food. The chicken shawarma is especially delicious. Friendly staff and quick service. Good to finally have authentic middle eastern food nearby. Highly recommend
Great food. Fast and friendly service. Good price point. The only complaint is the large fries is what most places consider small, but you are still paying for the large price.
Ordered here tonight for the first time. Tried the Gyro wrap and the Chicken Shawarma wrap. DELICIOUS!! My new favorite place for Shawarma! Menu looks to have a lot of interesting choices too. Staff was also very friendly!
Really friendly service and the food smells and looks delicious!!!
The food is excellent!! Vegetarian options: Falafel is yummy!!

Great clean place to eat , great flavour and nice employees.
Best food. Very kind and helpful staff.
SO good. A must try in Orillia. Had the Jamaican Jerk shawarma and was a little weary at first but it is honestly incredible. The samosas also packed a ton of flavour. Have to go back and try the curry fries!!
Delicious food and fast service!
Great flavour and excellent portion size for the price. I m so glad we have more shawarma options in Orillia!
First time having food from Tahinis Orillia but it wont be the last. Nice clean restaurant Staff are very friendly and helpful Food is amazing but let me tell you medium is hot enough!!
Best shawarma in Simcoe County thank you for a great lunch and good luck
Awesome service
First visit and very impressed. Got the Shawn bowl. I have a gluten sensitivity and there s lots of options. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free
Tried their chicken shawarma during their half price opening special. The toppings were exceptionally sparse. Not much choice. Staff were friendly. Prefer the competitions ..
great service
Delicious food . Specifically butter chicken and falafel. Value for money food.
Very Welcoming and friendly staff. Food was excellent!!!! Congratulations to the new Owners!!!
Excellent food and great customer service from good people
I have ordered 5 times from Tahinis and every time it brings a smile to my face. Everything Ive had, the wraps, the bowls, the sides are all fantastic. Its my new go to place for any take out/delivery. 10/10 A+
Loved this so much ,food was very well made
