Tip: It's on Uber Eats…read more A few Saturdays ago, I visited this Tahini's in the Malvern area of Scarborough. This eatery is located in a plaza, across from a Walmart Supercentre. I placed an order through Uber Eats and got two regular habibi bowls, which were BOGO. I got them without any pita chips on top. I went with the original, which was chicken, tzatziki, fried onions, spicy garlic sauce, and parsley, all on rice. I chose mild hot for the bowls. I got an estimated time to pick up my order. I was at Malvern Town Centre, so it took no time to drive over here. I got here at around 3:30 pm. There was plenty of parking. I backed into a spot and headed inside the eatery. I was greeted by a friendly woman. I was the only customer. I let her know that I had an Uber Eats order under my name. She nodded and fetched a paper bag with my name on it. I thanked her. We wished each other a great day. I then headed to my car, secured the goods, and drove home. This Tahini's was the second one that I have ever visited. The one in Richmond Hill has steady business. It was a nice change that this location wasn't as crazy at this hour. For dinner, I had one of the bowls. I had the other one the following day. It was my first time having a habibi bowl. It was yummy! The chicken was delicious. It was tender and flavourful with everything in the bowl. The base was fluffy yellow rice. I should order this bowl again. The toppings were fresh. So good! The second bowl heated up fine the following day. It tasted equally as yummy. I've had the baklava at the other location. I should have some here next time. I loved my food and my experience here. I'll be back when I'm in the area again. (335)

We got the garlic sauce and hummus - both came in nice large dollops. Purple cabbage gave a nice crunch as did the pita chips they sprinkled in. Turnips and pickles have a nice salty flavor. Tomatoes are thinly sliced but few in quantity I felt. The pineapples were canned pineapples but decent amount. Overall a pretty filling dish - would recommend the larger size for dinner. Good price for what you get!

Overall it tasted good and was a lot of food. The chicken shawarma wrap was good but it didn't get any pomegranate sauce. Though I'm grateful to the server when I asked for more chicken and garlic sauce on top of the wrap so it can look like what's advertised on social media. It just looks better! The chicken meal was good and had lots of fries. I liked the Cole slaw and marinated veggies. But I found it difficult eating the chicken shawarma wrap because they are cut into small pieces and filling kept falling out. The place was spacious with lots of tables so I dined in. I came early at 11:30am and slowly got busier.

It was 5 pm and I was looking for a place to get some takeout for dinner. I looked at my Uber Eats app and saw a BOGO deal at Shawarma Royale. I went ahead and ordered two chicken shawarma on rice meals. The app said that it would take between five to fifteen minutes. My order was ready in less than ten minutes. Insane! There's plenty of parking in this plaza. It does get busy with a lot of impatient folks who enjoy leaning on their car's horns. Ignore them, find a spot, and park. I did and walked into the eatery. It looks pretty new. It was spacious and so pretty. I loved the flowers on fake verandas. I want a fake veranda now! There were two men handling food behind the counter. I showed one of them my Uber Eats order number from my phone (I love this feature, which makes it so easy compared to digging up the number in the past and rattling it off). He saw it, looked at the bag on the counter, and handed it over. I wished him a great day. He reciprocated. I left happy with my bundle of food happiness. This restaurant has daily specials. They look good both from yummy and price perspectives. I drove home and had one of the meals. I'll be having the other for dinner tonight. The meals come in styrofoam boxes. They aren't packed full. If you are the type who expects a full box of food, you may be sad. However, I liked it being 75% full, especially when it comes to rice. I normally like salad over rice, so less rice is more for me. I'm avoiding a full-blown carb coma here. It's more like a mild slumber. The rice was good. It was a bit bland, but the chicken, garlic sauce, and tahini make up for it. The chicken was tender and mildly seasoned. It could use more charring, but it wasn't horrible. I loved the garlic sauce and tahini. You could taste the garlic, although I could probably go stronger. My garlicky breath wasn't enough to make others around me run for the hills, but it was there that they'd still want to hang out with me. The tahini was so creamy and yummy. The place has Barbican beverages. I was tempted to get one, but I had purchased a bunch of drinks earlier than I didn't need any more. I want the shawarma poutine. The photo looked good that I hope that the real deal is similar. It's a decent additional to a plaza with a Chick N Joy and McDonald's. I'd return for more when I'm in the area again. (109)

The portion was a little on the small side but I guess not bad for the price. It tasted okay, but not as flavourful as I was expecting. My friends opted for the regular portions at regular price. Their total was a little over $40, with drinks, but they had leftovers to take home. They had the Chicken Shawarma with rice and fries, and the Beef Shawarma with Fries. While waiting for our food, I noticed remnants of past decor hanging from the surrounding walls and ceiling. Really? Overall, the food was just okay and the ambiance was below average. With similar restaurants in nearby proximity, I would think twice before returning.

Chicken is surprisingly moist and flavorful. The rice is great as is the fresh crunchy coleslaw. Hummus and garlic sauce provided which are both amazing. Comes with pita. Altogether a delicious meal.

Comes with a chimicurri sauce which adds a nice herb yet spicy flavor. Price: A bit higher than other places that also serve chicken shawarma but good quality for what you're getting!

I've always known this Greek restaurant was in the plaza but never dined in until now - wow I have been missing out! Upon arrival, the space is quite dated but I still had high hopes for the food which did not disappoint. Servers were all older gentlemen that seemed intimidating but were very friendly and attentive. Everything we ordered was so delicious: Kalamarakia Fried 5/5 - Seasoned and lightly fried calamari served with Tzatziki sauce. It wasn't too crispy but had the perfect chew/ bite to it. Great for sharing. Cold Pekelia 5/5 - This was served with 4 different dips and 2 light bites including Tzatziki, taramosalata, octopus, melitzanosalata, olives and hummus. Absolutely delicious and a range of different flavours to try. Served with pita on the side. Chicken Souvlaki Dinner 5/5 - Tender chunks of chicken breast, marinated and broiled to perfection. All their dinners come with a Greek salad and garlic bread. Portions are plenty per person. Chicken was tender, juicy and bursting with flavours. Gyro Dinner 5/5 - Blend of lamb and beef, lightly spiced and broiled. Served with rice, roast potatoes, veggies and Tzatziki. So delicious I wanted to lick the plate clean. Overall all the food was so good and flavourful. Drinks were okay, I got a caesar that could have used a bit more "ump" to it. I can't wait to come back again as I loved dining here!
