Food was decent.pricing is crazy though. $6 dollars extra for a combo.which would be a french fry and drink. Total for a regular schwarma and fry/drink was over $20!

There were only two people working there. Which lead to not only lead to me waiting 25 minutes to get my food but the $8 dollar sandwich! To be filled with only bread

The place didn’t live up to the hype as they have a decent online presence the food was on the greasy side and the atmosphere was not it. Wouldn’t waste money on it

Showed up at 1040 and the guy tells me they are closed after I drove there from the other side of town

New favorite shawarma for sure, big portions and is not super greasy but really satisfying. Butter chicken and jerk chicken are also good.

Used to love Tahinis — I live just a few blocks away, and for almost two years now I’ve ordered a large chicken shawarma wrap combo at least once a week, maybe a salad to add. But I’ve since had to stop because gradually over the course of a year or so, the prices have become absolutely outrageous.

$17 for a shawarma wrap, before tax? $19 for a salad? ! No thanks. The rest of the menu is just as exorbitant. Not competitive pricing at all; there are a number of nearby locations offering similar menus for nearly half the price.

Tahini’s used to be a close-by place where a hard-working, average-earning Joe could afford a good meal at a good price. Not anymore, sadly.

Very good shawarma. I loved how crispy it was. Good flavour and a good amount of meat in the wrap.
My favourite part of it by fat was the crispy lavash. They used a thin wrap that crisps really nicely and adds a great texture to the wrap.
The one downside of the thinness of the wrap was that I found it started to tear in places and got a bit messy by the end of it. That’s an ok problem to have though.

I also like how they have pre-selected toppings combos. So you can just tell them which one you’d like and they’ll put those toppings on the shawarma.

UPDATE: FOOD QUALITY ISSUES. NOT CONSISTENT.
WAS SERVED DAY OLD SOUP THAT WAS COAGULATED AND LOOKED ROTTEN. TOSSED IMMEDIATELY. Sorry, but you lost my business for this.

Awesome chicken and butter chicken shawarmas and the bowls are fantastic as well. Fast service perfect take out spot

I like the taste of the food. It was a very tasty and enjoyable food and i will remember this food as i liked the taste. I think food tasted very good

Delicious shawarma! Sauce was amazing. Lots of chicken in the wrap. It was easy to eat and it didn’t fall apart which is rare when it comes to shawarma. 10/10 coming back!
27 December 2022 18:22
Very friendly staff and clean restaurant! Food portions are large and I like the variety of toppings. The food tastes great, will definitely be back again!
18 December 2022 22:32
Tahinis is blessed. Really good food, get the gyro shwarma and rice bowl, with 5 toppings to choose from, it’s great. Staff is also always kind and respectful. Definitely recommend

This chicken shawarma wrap was really good! The chicken was juicy and tender, the sauce was delicious, and the veggies were very fresh. This is one of the best shawarma wraps I’ve ever had. I’ll definitely come back!
09 December 2022 22:36
Really enjoyed the foooooddd!
Especially the falafel bowl is my all time FAV!
Just give it a try…
27 November 2022 10:57
Edit: They fell off, not the same. No longer the best. Average fast food shawarma but with good bread.
Original: Best, most authentic shawarma wrap I’ve had in Hamilton (maybe even all of Canada).

Gyro on rice was absolutely insane! So many good flavours all in one bowl. Great portions, I was able to take some home for leftovers, for sure worth the price. I love how you can customize almost everything you order, but it doesn’t get confusing at all. The menu is diverse and I can’t wait to be trying everything else they carry. Clean environment, and knowledgeable staff that was great at giving me their recommendations. Service was quick and friendly, thank you so much!

This place is a gem that i’m super glad i found. Everything i tried so far has been really good and delicious especially the Habibi bowl. If you’re really hungry i would recommend getting the ultimate box meal as it has a little bit of everything (the shawarma, Falafel, samosa, habibi bowl)
03 September 2022 23:26
Quality of the food is 5. But recently they changed their packaging and the quantity is getting less. I used to visit the place at least every 3 times a week but sadly, have better options now.
03 September 2022 22:22
Friendly staff, the place was clean. I like the ordering options, they have this part figured out. The food quality and price were what brought the lower rating.

Three taste was okay, wasn't knock your socks off. I had a salad, and have had far better schwarma salads in town, including in this area. And for$18 bucks, it was three most expensive schwarma salads I have ever had in Hamilton. If the quality was higher, I would be okay with the price. I would say it's worth only 12 at this point max.

The food is amazing and the staff is very friendly. The quantity of their bowls is huge and taste is simply awesome! Way to go Tahini’s️

The staff is amazing! Especially Manpreet and Anjali! They were exceptionally helpful since we weren't sure what to order, they have so many options!
10 August 2022 13:27
Terrible customer service. Had to wait 20 minutes for 2 bowls and we ordered when there was no one in front of us. Somehow they decided to serve the ones that came after us first.
09 August 2022 4:49
Pathetic customer service, I tried calling them several time but they just don’t pick up the call. When I called for the 6th time someone just picked up the phone and kept it aside and then hung up after 2-3 minutes.
The rolls are brilliant but the staff is very bad. Managers should monitor customer service as well.

It opened late at night so we stepped in to grab a bite with low expectations. Had their chicken shawarma wrap and butter chicken shawarma wrap. It was surprisingly yummy and their pita was so good. Would love to try their other menus as well.
28 July 2022 18:26
I visited this place for the first time and the customer service was awesome their was a girl with the name yashika who helped us ordering the food and the food was just perfect. Thank you for serving us? Good Staff Good Food
13 July 2022 23:39
Not as good as I hoped it would be. Used to give great portions, but when I order a large shawarma with extra meat ($18 after tip) and its basically half bread, a little hard not to be disappointed: (
27 June 2022 21:29
I have been ordering from this Tahini's location, and its never failed to disappoint! Everything is Fresh and the flavors are always sharp and popping! Thank you GUYS!
23 June 2022 4:45
One of best places I had Falafel. Their customer service was great! Enjoyed the services. Definitely going to visit here often!
25 May 2022 17:30
Samosa was good the sauce they give you doesn't go well together. Got the chicken wrap medium it was small tasted okay nothing special. Don’t like the sauce they put in the wrap
03 December 2021 5:49
I ordered on skip, large chicken shawarma, hot, old school. Spice level was perfect. I love the fact there is no useless lettuce filler. Lotsa chicken, pita nicely fried, well seasoned chicken. Garlic sauce is on point. Honestly, for a fast food joint it was a great meal. It’s a perfect mix of Indian seasoning and middle eastern where they meet in the middle for something quite right. Highly recommend giving this place a shot.
26 November 2021 18:05
I tried this place a couple of times and now this is my favorite place for middle eastern food. My personal favorite is butter chicken shawarma bowl! Try it out guys! You won't regret a penny!
20 November 2021 7:40
The food is overloaded with sauces and fries are soggy. The staff is either negligent or passive aggressive-they didn't even shut my take out box before handing it to me in a bag so the sauces just exploded everywhere. Overpriced and leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Not going there again. Would not recommend!

Just tried them yesterday with my daughter. Got a kafta bowl to share with her. Flavours are amazing! Veggies are fresh. Portion is good for its price. We are now big fans of their food. Didn’t like the beef bacon though. They gave my daughter a free cup of mango juice for our first visit. It tasted like real squeezed mango! We will be back to try more things in the future. Place was very clean and they have outdoor seats as well. Very friendly people. Kudos.

Edit… second visit. Tried the beef samosas and the falafels. Excellence once again! 12 falafels for $8 lasted me a few days. Such wonderful flavours for both appetizers. The samosas are delightfully crispy, flavourful and just a bit warm with spices. My daughter really loved them too. This place is quickly becoming a family favourite. Next up: shawarmas.

Staff are very nice! The restaurant is very clean and modern looking inside. Food is good, a few minutes of waiting, and no knifes with the cutlery. Other than that it was a great experience.
