" I was really excited to try Tahini’s after hearing so many great things. The atmosphere was lively and pleasant, but I was a little underwhelmed by the authenticity of the shawarma. While the flavors were good, I feel like they strayed too far into fusion territory with items like the jerk chicken and blueberry shawarma. Service was quick and friendly, though, which made up for it. I'd rate it a solid 4 out of 5 overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" Decided to visit Tahini's after hearing too many good reviews! While the service was great and the atmosphere friendly, I wasn't fully sold on the food. I tried the butter chicken shawarma, which was tasty but didn't quite fit the shawarma style I’m used to. The chicken was tender and flavorful but lacked the authentic spices. It was a fun twist, but I wish they had more traditional options. I rate it a 3 overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't get enough of this place! The flavors are always fresh and vibrant. I ordered their falafel bowl this time, and it was absolutely perfect. The falafels are crispy, and the accompanying garlic sauce is to die for! I also appreciate the friendly nature of the staff. It always feels welcoming. The only downside is the seating; it can get a bit cramped during busy hours. Overall, it's an easy 5-star experience for me! " (*Curated Review*)

" Incredible food! The uniqueness of the menu items is what makes Tahini's stand out. I had the blueberry shawarma, and while I was skeptical at first, it was genuinely delicious. The staff were fantastic and attentive during my visit. I think it's fair to say I found my new favorite place in Ottawa for a light and flavorful meal. 5 stars from me! " (*Curated Review*)

" Thought I'd give Tahini’s a try after hearing about their butter chicken shawarma. I was kind of nervous as I expected it to be just another fusion restaurant, but they exceeded my expectations! The spices were on point and executed beautifully. The staff were all smiles, and it was busy—always a good sign! I’d recommend this place to anyone seeking something a bit different. 5 stars! " (*Curated Review*)

" Interesting experience at Tahini’s. The variety caught my attention immediately! I ordered the blueberry shawarma, which was surprisingly good! The staff was lively and friendly. I appreciated their willingness to offer suggestions. However, I would like to have more traditional shawarma options on the menu. I’d give it a 4 overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" A nice place for a casual bite! The garlic sauce is my favorite, and the wrap I tried was sufficiently packed. It’s not the most authentic shawarma joint, but they have some fun twists on traditional dishes. The only downside is the portions for the price. I might go back but with adjusted expectations. Four stars from me! " (*Curated Review*)
