" As a fan of Mediterranean cuisine, I have sampled numerous offerings across various restaurants, and I can confidently say Tahini stands out. Their build-your-own pita option reflects true culinary artistry, allowing you to choose from a variety of fresh ingredients that perfectly blend together. Each bite of my sandwich was packed with flavor, highlighted by the fresh tahini sauce that came through beautifully. The only downside was waiting a bit longer for my order due to peak hours. However, the vibrant atmosphere and welcoming staff made the wait worth it. This place is worth the drive, and I’ll be bringing my friends next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" The taste at Tahini is undeniably good. In fact, it left me craving more even after my meal. The shawarma was well-seasoned and was paired excellently with their garlic sauce. Service was routine, nothing obnoxious but certainly quick. The atmosphere was bustling yet comfortable—ideal for a casual dining experience. I didn’t find the portion sizes out of the ordinary, and I walked away satisfied. Would I recommend it? Absolutely! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Tahini based on a friend's recommendation and was thoroughly impressed. The ambiance is very inviting, catering to both casual diners and those looking for a cozy meal with friends. I ordered a falafel salad bowl, which was incredibly filling. It was refreshing to see authentic Middle Eastern choices made from quality ingredients. The staff were friendly, and I appreciated their recommendations. I’ll certainly be coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Tahini was very good but not without a few hiccups. I loved the falafel and thought they were incredibly crispy on the outside while being soft on the inside. However, the chicken shawarma was slightly too dry for my taste. Service was good, though a bit rushed given how busy it was during lunch hour. The ambiance was enjoyable and overall, I would come back but I'm hoping for improvements on the meat's moistness next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience overall was pretty solid! I had the steak pita and I’m glad I did—it was juicy and packed with flavor. The freshness of the ingredients—from the pita to the veggies—was apparent. I appreciated the self-serve soda machine, which kept me refreshed all meal long! The atmosphere buzzed with energy but remained comfortable for dining. I would recommend it to anyone craving Mediterranean fare in a casual setting. " (*Curated Review*)

" While the food was good, I felt it was lacking some notable authenticity, particularly with the shawarma. I’ve had better elsewhere, though the sides made up for it. The service was quick and the environment pleasant, but I think they could focus a bit more on enhancing the flavor of their shawarma. " (*Curated Review*)

" Before coming to Tahini, I had high expectations based on online reviews, and I'm pleased to say they were met! The Esquire Pita was delicious and I welcomed the variety of sauces too. The environment is cozy, albeit a bit busy. I'd suggest arriving early for lunch! " (*Curated Review*)
