" I often find myself at Tahina due to the quality of their Mediterranean food. The falafel is crisp, and the chicken shawarma is always succulent. The dishes here are fresh and made with care. While some days the service is impeccable, other times it can be slower than expected, especially when the crowd builds up. Either way, I typically leave happy and satisfied with my meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" Such a cozy place! The food at Tahina is always fresh and flavorful. I often find myself ordering takeout from here, and everything arrives neatly packed. Their garlic dip is magical! During one of my visits, I tried their lamb dish, and it was succulent, cooked to perfection. The only downside is that their limited seating can make it hard to find a spot during peak hours. All in all, I can't complain! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was genuinely surprised at how lovely my experience with Tahina was. Everything down to the last detail was enjoyable. The staff was attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. Try their lentil soup; it's perfect for a chilly day! Additionally, the pita is also fabulous. I plan on returning soon and definitely recommend this spot. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tahina's falafel is undoubtedly the best I've tasted on this side of the coast. They are crispy, perfectly seasoned, and pair fantastically with their a la carte menu. You can never go wrong with their sides of tabbouleh and hummus. The prices are quite reasonable considering the quality of food. The only thing I wish they could improve is their indoor seating. It tends to get crowded during lunch hours, making it a bit uncomfortable at times. However, the food definitely makes up for the minor inconvenience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Tahina and I was impressed by their take on Mediterranean cuisine. I ordered their falafel platter with labneh and loved every morsel! The falafels were crispy, and I could taste every spice used to make them. The only downside was a slight wait in service, possibly because they were quite busy that evening. I hope they keep up that quality over time because I'll definitely be coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every visit to Tahina is delightful! Whether I order takeout or dine-in, the food is consistently fresh. They have a nice variety on their menu, making it perfect for when you want to try something new each time. I often opt for their tahini fries with my order as a delightful side. Each meal has always left me feeling satisfied and content. Just beware, if you come during peak hours, the wait can be longer, but it's always worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" My first visit to Tahina was a hit! The falafel I ordered was crunchy, warm, and packed with flavor. It's affordable and a great option if you’re looking for something to share with friends. The staff were friendly, providing swift service despite the number of patrons. I’ll definitely be back to try their hummus, which I’ve heard nothing but good things about! " (*Curated Review*)
