Tahini's in Pickering

Tahini is a fantastic Mediterranean restaurant that stands out for its excellent vegetarian options and inviting atmosphere. The highlight of my visit was their falafel bowl, which was not only flavorful but also fresh and satisfying. Each bite was a delightful mix of crispy falafel, vibrant vegetables, and perfectly seasoned sauces, showcasing authentic Mediterranean flavors. The staff at Tahini deserve a special mention for their helpful and friendly service. They were attentive, answered questions about the menu with ease, and made sure we had a great dining experience. The restaurant itself was impeccably clean, adding to the overall comfort and enjoyment of the visit. Whether youre a vegetarian or just love Mediterranean cuisine, Tahini is a must-visit spot. It s a place where great food meets excellent service, and it s clear that customer satisfaction is a top priority. I ll definitely be returning! Thank you, Vegetarian options: Very good falafel options

Really good and quality food specially the habibi bowl

Worst customer service .

This location used to be awesome however recently they have been cutting down on portion sizes a lot, so now I dont go as often.

I received the wrong Uber eats order today and wasn t able to get in contact with customer service. No one was answering the phone. Although I received something through the delivery it was not what I wanted and went uneaten. I m thoroughly disappointed.

Portion size was good. Use wraps and not pitas!!!

Decent shawarma place Vegetarian options: Falafel Food : 4/5 |

Had ordered to go. No garlic sauce, said I m allergic. Ate a little and my body violently reacted to the garlic sauce. This type of mistake is very dangerous, as it threatens people s safety.

Not good anymore. Oil is burnt, portions are tiny, they skimp on every topping you get. Won t be going back. Overpriced for what you get

We come here all the time and I ordered shawarma rap the flavours were perfectly every time great service .

The manager at this place is an awful woman, I came in for the $5 shawarma deal and she said I can only get original toppings I say ok so I want just garlic she refuses me saying I have to get all 6 ingredients insay Im allergic and she refused to make my food because I didnt want more ingredients.

Wraps are excellent very freindly staff

I ordered a chicken shawarma and the chicken was harder then piece of rocks to chew on.

Very nice salad bowls.

Amazing staff and great food. My family loves coming here. We used to go to other shawarma places until we discovered Tahini. Definitely recommend this place

We have been here before and you really cant go wrong with the food. Our problem this evening was unfortunately the service. The cashier taking our order was having a personal conversation with another female employee while we were trying to order and ask questions. The 2 employees stood at the cash talking and this made us feel like we were interrupting their personal conversation when really we just wanted to order our food. It was awkward and somewhat rude. What also seemed weird is that there seemed to be many employees there (did seem like maybe the time of a shift change) but only one male employee was making all the orders while the ladies chit chatted. Food was good, but service tonight was disappointing.

The worst falafel wrap I ever had today here. Pita was over cooked and falafel was soggy and oily. I could feel the oil while chewing. I have tried the wrap at other tahinis too having good taste Atmosphere

We come here all the time! Specifically wanted to share Shubnum is amazing at what she does, she is always very polite and very hard working ( we tell that because we come all the time and we see how hard she works, and respects food she prepare for her customers )

Incredible taste & good service.

Cheapest shawarma store ive every been to, plate is $20 the so called show ball, its filled with rice and then veggies and sauce on top, meat isn t more than 100g, very cheap

The food here is so yummy! Never have I tried a new place, found everything to taste so good that I had to go back a couple of days later and order more food, but that is exactly what my husband and I did. We ordered the Habibi bowl, gyro, and messy fries. Everything was delicious. The spice levels were flavourful without being overwhelming, and garlic sauce was so good in the wraps. Meat was tender. I dont have a single negative thing to say about this place. We will be back!

Not only was your shawarma bread stale but your chicken is so damn dry.. Why???

Shruti is wonderful, she provided excellent customer service, food was amazing too.

Awful service. I ordered via the kiosk because I was unfamiliar with the menu and wanted to read all the ingredients. I placed order when no one else was in the store. Others came in after I placed the order and he for some reason prioritized 3 other orders that went through after mine did. I was standing there waiting for him to start my wrap but he went through all the other orders. Some guy even ran to walmart to get change to pay in cash and ran back and had his order before mine. I ordered a single large shawarma. He picked some torn bread and stuffed it, then it tore right down the middle spilling the ingredients onto the grill, and proceeded to just wrap it up with a thin layer of bread instead of remake. Took about 20 minutes between order and getting out the door. Unreasonable.

It was a good experience and staff is really friendly specially guy who was serving was really good. I think his name was Daron.

Great food and service

Great food and service

Amazing fresh tasty food and friendly staff!

I recently visited Tahini s and ordered the Chicken Shawarma and Rice Bowl. It was absolutely delicious! The flavors were perfectly balanced and the chicken was tender and well-seasoned. On top of that, the service was excellent friendly and efficient. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great food and top-notch service. Ill definitely be coming back!

Very friendly service! Food was great, portions are very large. Will definitely eat here again!

Love it it s awsome food and place Kid-friendliness: So friendly staff. Very good customer service Food : 5/5 |

Everything good but chicken quantity inside Arabian bites ie very less but overall good.

Ahdia was great and helped us make up our mind. Great service and taste very good !

Amazing food

Good food

beat branch Parking: lots of spots good location Food : 4/5 |

Good experience overall

They are using burnt oil to fry, ayer I ate i felt very sick from it.. also the wrap was soaked and it was all mushy... dont pretend that your middle Eastern when your not.

Very friendly

Amazing! The jerk chicken shawarma is another level, doesnt require to ask for extra anything. Its perfect!! Location is clean , fast . I love the self checkout

Rude staff not worthy it

Vegetarian options: I have ordered for falafel wrap for 2 people take out.After going home myself and my hubby found falafel were uncooked from inside and wrap were tasteless and rubbery feel .Overall it was the disaster of our friday dinner.I would give 0 /5 Recommended dishes

Great staff, awesome food. Would recommend! Dietary restrictions: Dairy Food : 5/5 |

Great service, kind employees, variety of options and good wait Parking: Close parking Food : 5/5 |

Today passing nearby Indian restaurant as their dishes were delicious and thought to try Shawarma here as well but the experience was worst. Shawarma was tasteless and it seemed to be reheated from the last day. Really annoying experience.

Absolutely not worth it! I ordered uber eats today and the bowl description included all the toppings it usually comes with. No where in my order did i say no toppings or opted out of anything. Also, this was not my first time, as Im a regular customer. I called just to understand the situation, as mistakes happen. But my god the RUDENESS! She said they tried to call me but noone picked up so it was my fault. I had no call on my record saying Tahinis but a number that says from MANITOBA....why would I pick up a call from manitoba knowing these are usual scam calls? Tahini is in Ontario.....why is your number showing Manitoba? Maybe fix that? Anyways, food is good but if people who are making my food is not nice and have zero knowledge on how to talk to people, keep it, your food doesnt come from a place good. Her solution was to take it up with uber because its not her problem. I made sure to tell her she has terrible customer service, because clearly the owners, who should be providing training, dont really care. Never again. May 25,2024 Update: Zero followup from Owners. Not surprised.

Niceeee fooddddddd , amazing shahwarmaaaa and ricerreeeeeeeee. Amazing staffff

Good food and great service, love eating here

Good shawarma

This location specifically has been amazing in terms of food, service, and atmosphere. The servers are kind and remember my order, the gyro and chicken are delicious, and they have a loyalty card program. If I could give 6 stars, I would.

Highly recommend for vegetarians as well. The falafel was massive, fresh and delicious. Spicy fries were as advertised. Thank you for a great meal!

For some time I have been taking food at least once a week and the quantity, quality and service has been excellent. However today on May 29, my experience was bad as there was some lady who served me, presumably owner or manager. The quantity of large Shawn bowl was 1/3 less, sauces 1/2 and when I requested the tiny container of sauce, she said it was not for free and if in the past I was getting it, it was not per store policy. I was surprised . Also I never take cutlery or napkins as I take out. Her staff are far more customer friendly and better salesperson than this lady. If she is owner or manager she has to be better than her staff.

Great shawarma, our work place go to.

I had the blueberry flame shawarma and the chicken was under cooked and i could feel the chicken was raw and very chewy. I think it s over hyped and the management wasn t good. Had to wait long to get the order and they didn t even know what they were serving. I could see all the girls working and they were having no clue what I got for my order. Over all a bad experience!

Nice

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE experience, please avoid this place. I found a long strand of hair in my wrap. The customer service was horrible, did not follow my order instructions either. After I left a huge tip I shouldn t be face with hair in food and different toppings that I did not ask for. HORRIBLE

We love it Habib bowl

Took 3 shawarmas and it was good but inside it was very dry with literally no sauce.. However the main point is the people that were making the food and taking orders had lots of attitude. Whenever I was giving orders, It felt like they were getting annoyed. Whatever I was asking answering with a very big attitude, we get it that they are working and it s busy but no one would spend 60 dollars for poor customer service. Never felt this much awkward to eat in a restaurant.

Excellent food and service, recommended for anyone looking for good shawarma place

Great Service!

Great!

Such a clean restoran great food thank you

Awesome people, great service, very clean. Lovely place

It was good

Vegetarian options: Lots of options Food

Great food, kind people and they play good music in there.

Too expensive, not %100 halal I see Najis food were served. the taste is not good at all the wrap is like robber and food was severed cold like ice. Not fresh at all. They are good at making ticktok and instagram videos but in reality it is not how it looks in the video. NOT HAPPY AT ALL. Reply: Brother Ali if you are a muslim and want to serve Halal food, make sure the food should be 101% halal, do not serve Najis food. You know what i am pointing at. Ask your masque Mawlana.

The best shawarma I have ever had in the world, definitely will be back soon with my family

Delicious food, friendly people.

Every time we visit Tahinis, the staff are always very friendly and welcoming. The food is fresh and very tasty.

Amazing food,very clean restaurant

Awsome Parking: Parking is great. Food : 5/5 |

Great food for a great price. Very friendly staff as well Would come again!!

I got the Gyro Maya Salad bowl and it was delicious. Service was fast and they were very nice

The classic poutine was great. Fries were crispy, and the mild sauce had a nice kick.

Ordered my food online and picked it up on my way home from work. When I got home I realized I was given the wrong order. Tried calling and was on hold for 15 minutes before the phone cut out. I ended up having to drive all the way back. They did replace my order with the correct one but I feel I should have been offered a discount of some sort for wasted time having to drive back and forth.

Absolutely loved the Himalayan Tahitian experience! Incredible service, stunning views, and unforgettable memories.

Good food, amazing customer service!l

I cant rate the service even with a single star. Specially the service of the team leader / Person in charge. No welcome / No smile /No thank you. So much of attitude. Its really worth owners to send a mystery shopper to check how the service is . Not rerecommending this place.

Great vibes! Free mango juice!

Excellent food Vegetarian options: Good selection and wide variety Food : 5/5 Recommended dishes

Very delicious food

I had medium shawarma it was waaaw

Slow employees...takes forever to get your order!

This Pickering location is serving good quality food! The girls are amazing, polite , friendly and knowledgeable.. Fresh food & was really delicious! Good customer service & staff is amazing Clean restaurant & ample seating! Food portion was really generous! Definitely recommend!!

Good service and edible. Just doesnt taste like much. Habibi bowl was bland and lentil soup was sour. Beef samosas were good. Take your business to Lawrence and Warden if possible for shawarmas/bowls. Edit 03/29/24: have been back for chicken shawarmas, which are good and the only thing Id get here. I rate this place 3.5 stars now and maybe even 4. Good for shawarmas in Durham. Wish they had beef because their gyros wrap is just Ok. FYI, The one on Whites Rd. is notably worse so drive to this one.

your normal tahini experience, but there s a new gentleman who is currently training i forget his name but it s a young guy with glasses i just wanted to add that his customer service was absolutely amazing. Food

I d rather give 0 stars. I was feeding my nephew, he almost threw up and we found a long strand of hair from the bite he took. Absolutely disgusted. Have a look at the long strand of hair. My 5 y/o nephew almost choked.

This is my go to shawarma spot. I find it consistent and probably eat there twice a month since they opened. There are times where the wait can be long but for the most part I ve had good experiences. The chicken is always consistently good and I can t say that about a lot of other places. I m happy to have them close to home.

Food is way too good. Atmosphere is too tight and employees are so monotone and awkward though.

Went to tahinis for the first time, came home and noticed this in my salad. When I first went in the servers did not pay attention and had ear phones in her ear. She was rude. It took two of us to get her attention to grab our order. On top of all that, coming home to a sticker on my pepper, was extremely unsettling. Horrible experience.

Tahinis shawarma is fantastic, i eat here whenever possible. love the blueberry shawarma, the service is also really good

Loved the food and vibes .

The best Shawarma I have ever had in this broke location Very friendly stuff had a good experience. Definitely will come back again.

Good shawarma plate and sandwiches.

Cleanest and most delicious location, always enjoy my meal here .

Mediocre! Bland sauces, hot sauce isnt even spicy. Not worth $10 for a small wrap. Staff isnt careful of what is being asked for sauces. Will not try again.

The service is . Welll I don t know what is the right word for it, it s like the guy there didn t like working there at all, he was unprofessional and didn t want to serve me the food as shown on there screen saying that they don t do it that way anymore he has all the ingredients but he doesn t want you to do it and I asked him not to put hot sauce on the food and he did. Poor presentation and lack of a lot of things. I wish i remember the name of this guy to report him to his manager. This very disappointing.

I used to love this place but it seems sizes are getting smaller and smaller. Prices are going higher and higher though.

So good

This place was awesome perfect timing and lovely food and also great and kind service

I had a chicken Shawarma wrap,It was so delicious.

Best service and quality. Food was delicious. I wish Ali was there. I love their royalty card. Food

The food was amazing and the workers were so nice!

Excellent restaurant, amazing food My family and I were very happy. The employees were friendly and welcoming to the customers, especially Hadya. I will always come. Thanks

This is the worst chicken I ve ever had! It has nothing to do with shawarma. I m really upset because I wasted my money on something that I wouldn t eat because of how it tastes. 0/5

The Staff were very friendly and courteous. The hospitality was very appealing .

If you dont have food to serve, dont make it available to order!

Great food and friendly staff they are very helpful to introduce the menu . Everyone should check it out

Very yummy and filling food. Good portion. Fresh food. Very good service. I would go there again.

Everything delicious)))

They have the best food. I recommend this restaurant to my friends to visit this restaurant once and enjoy the delicious food of this restaurant.

Love this place, their food is delicious I got the chicken shawarma wrap medium very satisfying, very clean the stuff is friendly .

Very nice place, service is excellent and food is delicious. We enjoy our time there, very happy about everything. Food : 5/5

One of the better Tahini locations I have been to. The management and staff is very friendly and the food is really really good as usual. Always a guaranteed good time.

Been to this location a couple times and had their bowls. The food was fantastic cooked to right, and seasoned right. Great atmosphere, the workers were very welcoming and kind. I would definitely recommend this place to my family and friends who live east end.

Had a wonderful experience here! Food was delicious and employees are friendly, kind. Thank you for providing great service!

The food is fresh, delicious and the service and atmosphere was amazing.Overall great experience.

The food was great! We will be back :)

Great food and great environment! Everyone there is so nice! Will be back for sure :)

honestly one of the best middle eastern foods in all of durham. I never fail to exit off the high way to eat quality food. Dont miss in trying this place!!! love it. The foods always fresh!

No customer service at all. Literally was waiting to place an order but they were busy fixing something. When finally done fixing whatever it was they didnt even apologize for the wait. Just a what do you need. I understand this a job for students and newly landed immigrants but customer service goes a long way. This has to improve. Good food though. Always quality and fresh.

Ordered one for all tray, asked to make it urgently. Suman prepared everything real good and made the tray available as quick as he can. Taste was great too. Will definitely be repeating the order.

Great customer service.

My kids wanted to try this new joint that appeared in our Pickering area and tonight was the night. We order 4 wraps and 1 messy fries all came to $60+ I asked for no spicy sauce on the messy fries but instead garlic on the side which they forgot to put in the bag. We got home and the kids were super excited to try the wrap because they always see some guy on YouTube advertising about how good the food was. The wrap was actually very disappointing. Very dry and tasteless. The absolute best sharwarma is located in Mississauga. But this dry, hard piece of cardboard that I ate tonight is a shame to be called anything food. If you wanna know what it taste like, just crawl to the nearest recycling bin and start chewing on the first piece of cardboard you see. There was literally no chicken and no sauce, I couldnt even taste any of the pickled turnips they put in there, if I worked here, I would be super embarrassed to serve this garbage to anyone. Do not waste your money! This is probably the 5th sharwarma place I tried in the Pickering area and I dont think any of them are good but this is the lowest on the scale for sure. If you decide to try this place after reading my review, make sure you order a drink. Good Luck!

Disgusting food. All the 5 star reviews are fake to bring up their overall score. They hardly put any meat in the wraps and the wraps are hard and dry. Dont eat here! This place is gross!

This place stole my heart! The food was pure joy, and the staff made it feel like home. Its my new happy place for good vibes and amazing flavours.

Very good customer service Their food qualities Is amazing

Come here everyday love their messy fries

I had good experience this location there is very clean and have a great foods I will definitely be back.

The best Shawarma in the world , Very friendly staff.

perfect foods and perfect servis Very patient girl Shabnam always do her best

Jan 11th 2024. The best Crispy Falafels! And to completes the gyro Original topping with spicy sauce, spicy garlic sauce and best Tahini sauce, delicious!! I recommend Brock location anytime! Customer service Amazing place awesome employees To the young lady making my gyro and falafels, I asked a question, who gets the tips, the employees or the owner? She replied , the employees, I am the owner . We all laughed! She fitted right in I was greeted with a smile and hello.. The place is always very clean, whenever I go there if its not too busy the employees are always cleaning. and they are always serving with a smile , I would and highly recommend Brock Location in a heart beat!!!

My son is shawarma lover, he is loving it already

I have tried Tahinis from other outlets. This location is very stingy with portion size (both chicken and rice). Please make the dish properly with recommended portions size Food

I went to this restaurant yesterday at around 4.15 pm. I ordered two 2 blueberrie flamed swarma and one butter chicken swarma. For the blueberry flame swarma the front guy (Muhammad) didnt hit up the chicken. He gave used the chicken from the front area, which was totally dry and rubbery texture. I request him to write down for those blueberries swarma on the box so it doesnt mix up with the butter chicken one. He totally messed up. He wrote blueberries on the butter chicken, he wrote extra hot on the swarma which was not extra hot! I know this place is famous because of YouTube, but it doesnt mean you will serve anything. You should train your employees properly.

Delicious food!

Unique take on shawarma, idk if its good tho. ***UPDATE: Ordered chicken shawarma plate for 15.99 and all I got was sauces, salad and chicken skin. It was chicken skin shawarma not chicken shawarma . No wonder this place is always empty.

Great place to get finger licking Shawarma to be honest the bread does the trick for me and the Fact they have a long list of toppings The spicy garlic stands out best for me! See you next week this place deserves my attendance once a week. Im sure my doctor would be happy...! PS the deep fried halloumi looks amazing I will give it a try next week! Only reason for a 3 Star is because I dont know in what world someone making my sandwich is expecting a tip :S Tips is short for To insure Prompt Service. I havent received my order and you guys are asking me to tip? Vegetarian options: They do have Falafels! Dietary restrictions: You can coordinate with your Sandwich Artisan They can modify it for you. Parking: It is in a plaza! Kid-friendliness: They have smaller sandwiches for them Wheelchair accessibility: Yes its easily Accessible

Went for dine in at lunch. They made my order wrong. When i told them order is not mine the female employee was throwing around attitude. Didn t apologize for their mistake either. Just offeothe wrong bowl to someone else and added extra meat to make them satisfied. And ended up saying I could have thrown this in the garbage and thats ok. Very rude and unprofessional. This was at 1:30pm this afternoon. Sad service in these times when you take your business to a restaurant. Also floor was dirty and so was the facility.

The tahini offered a delightful blend of flavors with the rich creaminess of tahini complementing the savory shawarma. The dish was well-balanced, and the tender meat paired perfectly with the smooth texture of the tahini sauce. A satisfying and flavorful experience overall.

Tried this restaurant first time and trust me it was not only good but the best. I dine in with my family and got dozen of Falafel, couple of butter chicken wraps. A young lady, Sharofat, was working there and served us with an effective manner. She was very nice and professional. As we went during evening time, and the restaurant was busy but I love the way she managed to handle the rush and prepare the orders with full accuracy. For sure, I ll visit again and see you. Keep it up Lady. You re doing a great job!!!
