While generally praised for flavor, some note the pricing is slightly higher than competitors. It's a great choice for quick, flavorful, and modern Middle Eastern cuisine.

I've been meaning to try Tahini's for the longest while and I finally got the push from a friend…read morewho said it's really good sand she goes there all the time. I've got no more excuses. There are lots of choices on their menu, including Chicken Shawarma, Gyro, Butter Chicken, Falafel, Halloumi, Jerk Chicken, and more. These are all available as wraps, bowls, salads, or even poutine. With lots of great choices, I settled on their large Gyro Bowl, served on top of rice with my choice of five toppings. The meat was tender and tasted great. Overall, it was a generous serving of deliciousness, filled with lots of flavour, although I would have preferred a tad bit less sauce. The staff were very friendly and provided quick service with a smile. Check them out at 1899 Brock Rd in Pickering.

I had a colleague pick up lunch from here and it was really good, so I had to go check it out…read moremyself! Walking it, it's nothing too different from a typical shawarma shop - except maybe it's one of the cleaner ones I've been to. They do have quite a few options on the menu: bowls, platters, wraps, etc. AND CALORIES! (which I always appreciate). I ordered a small chicken wrap, with the old school toppings, and spicy! For about $9, it was a good size. The taste: very decent! And very generous with the meat and toppings... so I am not sure if the posted calorie is actually true... but oh well. My only issue. It's wrapped like a cannoli - open at both ends. Could I please ask that you tuck in one end so it's a little bit easier to eat? It's definitely one of the "harder-to-eat" shawarmas I've had. It's not easy opening up in the pandemic, so I really hope they stick it out - would be nice to have a new spot for lunch as we go back to the office.

A great place but just a heads up. They are extremely busy so be prepared to wait. If you order…read moreonline or on the mobile app, the estimated time is really only an estimate. A lot of traffic including walk ins, food deliveries and online for pick up. I love their falafel. Their fattoush salad by the way does not have the fried pita chips.

We came here after seeing it recommended on social media, especially for their lamb shank -- so of course, that's what we ordered. The portion was huge, so we shared one lamb shank between the two of us. The meat was tender, flavorful, and absolutely delicious -- we ate every last bite. The serving was so big that we were completely stuffed by the end. We're definitely planning to come back here, but next time we'll be prepared to share dishes because the portions are just that generous. I'd highly recommend this place if you want to try some tasty and spicy food in Toronto.

I had the Lamb Chops Gold Combo and the portions were enormous and so delicious. Four succulent pieces of grilled lamb chops. My friend is a vegetarian so he had the Paneer Tikki Gold Combo.

The naan was so huge! We came around 1pm on a Friday and it wasn't busy. Very spacious and lots of tables to choose from. The customer service at the counter was excellent and so appreciated. Big thanks to Wasim who always gave us a happy smile with our meals! I'm eager to return and introduce Kabul Express to more of my friends. Highly recommend!

I was in the mood for some Middle Eastern food on a recent Tuesday night, so I began perusing the…read moreselection within a food-delivery app and stumbled upon Tahini's. They had exactly the sort of meal I was in the mood for, which made the decision to order very easy. I went with the Tahini's Special, which comes with a mix of chicken and gyro, as well as hummus, garlic, cabbage, pickles, turnips, rice, and pita bread, and I also "baconized" it by adding a slice of Beef Bacon for an extra dollar. It arrived a while later and was exactly what I was in the mood for. The Beef Bacon didn't quite knock my socks off and the hummus was oddly tasteless, as though they forgot to include lemon or any spices, but otherwise I enjoyed the heck out of my meal. The plentiful chicken and gyro meat was absolutely delicious, while the other components complemented everything really well. The rice tied the whole thing together perfectly. I'm sure we'll be ordering from Tahini's again.

Employees really know their stuff when it comes to the menu and are happy to answer any questions you have. The portions are HUGE. The large shawarma wrap fed 2 people and there was still some leftover. Flavours are really good too. The garlic sauce isn't quite as garlicky as I would like, but still delicious nonetheless. Chicken was very tender. The crisp they give to the wrap is heavenly.

I feel it gets more…read moreattention since they have a bigger menu and may try other things, like Indian or Jamaican seasonings, but that's not what I'm looking for. I will say that I've ordered the standard shawarma toppings when I've gone (whether a wrap or bowl). It's been perfectly fine, but nothing that stood out. I also prefer when the meat is crispy and cut right from the split, but they don't seem to have it that way.

I am gonna keep this review short and to the point ...right of the bat highly impressed the food was fire. Food 5/5 ...this place is what I would call middle eastern modern with a fusion twist ...I opted for there Jerk Chicken Bowl in the regular size they also have a smaller bowl size . You get incredible juicy deeply marinated, extremely flavourful small pieces of the best jerk chicken, probably better then some caribean restaurants I been to...your bowl is a large generous portion filled with delicious basmati rice with amazing flavors and perfectly cooked the bowl also comes with pineapple..this was fire and what a perfect combo with that spicey chicken , you also get onions and tomatoes. They have some sort of chipolti style sauce that just brings it all together in a perfect combination of flavours...try thier hot sauce also amazing tangy with a little kick of heat. Service...friendly, fast and quick service .A little on the pricey side $18 .00 for a regular size bowl but fabulous food and a must try for you foodies in Brampton.
