    FAST CASUAL MEDITERRANEAN THAT IS GOOD! I was in San Diego and after my workout in little Italy I asked a few locals where I should go that is somewhat heathy, they all said I should go to this place. I love a good middle eastern/Mediterranean spot! So I went and I wasn't disappointed. The Kebab Shop is a small fast casual place that does middle eastern type of food, they have a lot of wraps and gyro type of things on their menu but the also have plates that come with a salad, rice, a protein, and a pita. That's what I decided to get, but I will say the wraps looked amazing. I ordered the Mediterranean plate. It came with a Greek salad, saffron rice, 1 protein and a half of pita. For the proteins I decided I wanted the beef/lamb mix, the stuff that you see in gyros a lot, and I added a extra kofta for $6. Maybe a little steep but it was made fresh and was good. The restaurant also had a bar full of their sauces so you could add what you wanted to your meal to make it perfect! The meat was hot and well seasoned and juicy, especially the kofta. I would probably just get two pieces of this next time. The Lamb beef mix was good but nothing amazing. The salad was awesome with feta cheese on it and cucumbers and a great Greek dressing. The rice was well seasoned and had great saffron flavor. The bad? Well the amount of rice they gave you was surprising. There was so much rice. So much, and the amount of pita they gave you. You got half of a pita but really a need a full pita. Overall I would come and eat here again. It was a little expensive but I did get a lot of food. Overall it's a win!!

    Damaris was amazing. The guy in the back came out to check food quality. Super cool place and really good food.

    I really really enjoyed this bowl! The chicken is well seasoned and cooked perfectly (juicy and tender). A simple, easy and flavorful lunch with the most amazing dill yogurt sauce. I could probably drink it - it's so good. For how quickly they had my order ready, I was surprised by how fresh everything tasted as well.

    GRAINS BOWL with chicken shawarma and falafel

    Quick tasty lunch on the way to the aquarium today. Got a chicken shawarma bowl to go with mostly classic toppings and a few my wife chose. 8.5/10 tho, wish there were some of these in OH.

    10/10 customer service Fresh ingredients Fast service was there less than 10 mins before I got my food 10/10 flavor Ask for andy and Brandon 10/10 service First time there Andy recommended the best and Brandon cooked it to perfection

    Hungry after arriving from airport. Great spot walking distance from Ljttle Italy. Self order or cashier. Food portions were surprisingly large. Food was fresh and sauces amped up the taste. Lots of indoor seating and clean bathrooms. First time at this place and happy to find out it's a chain so will look in my local area.

    Have been here twice in the past week including today. Had their Protein Bowl which has 45g of protein which you get the option of carved chicken, chicken shawarma, and other (you can choose). I like that they don't charge you for extra hummus - this time I got 3 scoops of hummus (regular, fire, and jalapeño) however I found it to be too much (I got full). Although this is more on the pricier side compared to my regular go-to lunch meal from Under Belly, I consider it a bit healthier because I care more for fiber and protein. Perhaps I will play around with other plates but in the meantime, the Protein Bowl is my go-to meal. I ordered online and it gave me the time for pickup - it was ready within minutes (earlier than expected). The workers seem nice and the place was clean.

    Stumbled upon this place! Flavor was delicious and filling. Loved that they had sauces that you could fill up on yourself. Workers were super nice and friendly and asked us if we had any questions.

    A Wonderful Evening at Tahini Restaurant…read more We had such a wonderful evening at Tahini Restaurant! The service was excellent, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the food was delicious. They had unfortunately run out of baklava, but Raz came through like a superhero! Just 15 minutes before closing, he managed to bring two of us baklava--and what a way to finish the meal! That kind of service and attention to your guests really makes a difference. And don't forget to get the pickles! They're listed on the menu as pickled cucumbers, although to me, they taste just like delicious kosher dill pickles. I'm not sure why they're called something different, but that tangy flavor adds such an amazing touch to the meal. Thank you, Tahini, for a great meal, great atmosphere, and a great evening with my cousin. And Raz, you're definitely our baklava superhero! ‍ Five stars all around!

The menu was a bit confusing, but I know that I like grilled veggies and Greek salad and then Ike was able to pick my protein that I wanted so that seemed easy enough. The base price with falafel or chicken Shawarma was Close to $16 but since I chose the meat, they added two dollars to my total. It took about 10 minutes for them to assemble my meal, but my veggies were cooked fresh on the stove, which was really nice. They tasted very freshly cooked just as they would as if I had cooked them myself at home. I was there about 1245 on a Monday and there were a few people there and they had some takeout orders so my order took about 10 minutes before I could walk out the door with it. They had a nice condiment bar where you could pick out some yogurt with dill sauce and then they're famous garlic yogurt sauce, as well as a jalapeño sauce And another spicy hot one that I would never try. When I got back to the jury room to eat my meal, I saw that there was a nice quantity of the fresh salad and the grilled vegetables but the meat was piled high! The employees were working efficiently and the place was spotless and orderly.

Sure, it's a little on the pricier side, but I don't mind paying more if the quality of the food and ingredients matches the price. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case.

Fast forward a couple of hours after eating, I got home, tried to go to sleep, and ended up feeling extremely sick with what seemed like food poisoning. For $50 for a pizza and cheesesteak, I expected fresh, quality ingredients and a much better experience. Definitely disappointing and unfortunately not somewhere I'd come back to.
