The carpaccio was fine, pleasant but fairly straightforward, but everything else we ordered was excellent The octopus was tender, and hearty, paired nicely with potatoes, hummus, some greens, and capers. It was well-balanced and satisfying without feeling heavy. The steak came out a perfect medium-rare and juicy. The nut topping on the fish added a really nice crunch, contrasting beautifully with the soft, tender flesh of the fish. And then there was the duck: the clear standout of the night. It was beautifully cooked and seasoned. The fat kept it incredibly juicy without feeling greasy. The charred cabbage on the side added a subtle smokiness that tied everything together perfectly. Every bite honestly made me happier and happier. Getting to the restaurant was a little confusing at first, but once you're there, it's absolutely worth it. A really enjoyable meal overall, and especially memorable for that duck dish. Definitely a place I'd return to.

Had a family run vibe. There are lots of reviews with high marks so it seems like a sure bet... we tried the chicken and beef shwarma plates. The overall portion was good but there wasn't enough of the beef or chicken. Didn't look the the majority of pictures where there is more meat. Have a look at my pics vs the other pics on the yelp page. The flavors on the meat might have been tuned for a western audience and seemed muted. The chicken was better than the beef. Neither was cut from the vertical rotisserie and were sitting in the bins... seemed dry. I would have thought if it's at the end of the day and the quality isn't as good as at the beginning of the day you would like on the meat... instead if trying to stretch it out lowering the quality of the meal even more. Sadly I won't be going back.

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!

A couple of Saturdays ago, I needed to grab some takeout for dinner. I did a search on my Uber Eats app and found Tahini's. It's a few doors down from a No Frills, in a plaza that has a McDonald's, Dollarama, Kaiyo Sushi, and more. I got the following items: - Regular habibi bowl (BOGO) - Beef samosas (2) I got an estimated time of fifteen minutes for my food to be ready. I drove over to this eatery and backed into a parking spot. I waited a bit before I headed inside the eatery to pick my food up. I headed to the counter on the left. A woman said hi. When I indicated that I had an Uber Eats order, she abruptly interrupted me and said that I needed to be on the right. I didn't feel any warmth from her. I felt like I was scolded by her for not knowing. It was my first time at this eatery. The only door in and out of this eatery is directly in front of this woman. Naturally, folks would head over to you, especially a newbie like me. You order on the left. You pick up your food on the right. Got it. I made my way over to the right. I had a friendly woman there who let me know that she was waiting for my beef samosas. Cool. It was enough time for me to take photos. The unpleasant woman seemed happier talking to a male colleague in front of the protein spits. I took a photo. She looked my way. She seemed to default to her sour disposition again. I had the inclination to delete the photo capturing her unpleasant expression, and take another photo once she went into the kitchen. It's one star off my rating. She clearly didn't like me. The feeling was mutual. The beef samosas were done. Yay! The other woman packed up everything and handed me my paper bag full of food. I thanked her and wished her a good evening. She reciprocated. I then headed to my car and drove home. I had the beef samosas first. OMG! They were delicious. The wrapper was crispy and not greasy. The beef filling was generous and yummy. I should have got six. Yum! I had one of the regular bowls that evening and the other the following day. I specified light hot sauce. It was perfect. The chicken shawarma was tender and yummy. I liked the toum. It had the perfect amount of garlic. The parsley provided a pop of colour. It didn't taste like anything. The rice was fluffy and delicious. This bowl was excellent. I had the other bowl for dinner the following day. It heated up nicely and was equally as yummy. I loved everything that I had consumed. I'll be back for a shawarma wrap and more. I'm hoping that the sourpuss woman isn't there upon my return. (451)

To be honest, not entirely sure if there already existed a Yelp listing for this location but I was…read moreunable to find it after looking for 20 minutes so I opted to create one instead. Apologies if this causes the listing for this location to be doubled up :( I have been on the hunt for shawarma poutines after trying the ones from Osmow's. As good as the one from Osmow's is, I was sure there had to be better ones out there, and I do have to say that the one I got from Lazeez Shawarma was definitely better. Price: $24.39 because I got it large - I did ordee this from UberEats so the pricing is very likely to be different in store! Why it was better than Osmow's: -saucy AF when it comes to how much garlic sauce was drizzled over the poutine -no need to pay for extra garlic sauce because the poutine is practically drenched in it -giant portion that I had to split up into three meals Con: -the beef was a little tough to chew so I'll opt for chicken as the protein next time, and see how that goes :D

I had actually taken the time to ask the staff at cash whether the pieces would be the same size as the kabob. Way too much sauce. I asked for garlic and I wanted minced garlic like toum... before I could correct her the server was squirting sauce in the pita from those squeeze bottles meant for mustard and ketchup. This was on top of babaghanoush which already has garlic in it...like no reason to add liquidy garlic sauce on top of that.....I had to search for the meat with a fork. I had the picked turnips and they weren't tasty and were too salty. The whole thing was like a pita full of SLOP. Wouldn't order it again or would make sure the server wasn't using too much sauce. Wouldn't order the lamb again like this. I ate half of the salad items inside the pita but couldn't finish it - too wet and gross. Had to buy candy at convenience store afterward for a palate change - bad aftertaste etc.

Food was fine but: I…read moream gluten intolerant and vegan. Since somebody else had planned, this meal, I reached out to the restaurant multiple times beforehand to see what options there were for me, nobody got back to me, even though I could see that my messages were read. When I got there, I reviewed the menu and was surprised to see even things that normally do not have gluten, such as french fries, roast potatoes, and falafel were marked with gluten. There was very little I could eat. I ended up getting a cold appetizer tray which for $19, for about half a cup of hummus, half a cup of mushrooms, and half a cup of roast eggplant. I asked if I could have rice on the side instead of the bread, she said she could not substitute, and I would have to pay for it. I did so, and received less than a cup of plain rice. When I got my bill, it was $34. The rice on the side, was over $7. Absolutely ridiculous that I spent $34 on a meal of plain rice, and 3 small dips. Extremely unaccommodating and also rude, I would not go back. If you have any kind of food, intolerances or preferences not recommended.

Ordered take out for a friend's request, she loves the Greek food here. Food seemed good but nothing extra special to me. We had an assortment of dips; house made hummus, eggplant dip, pickled beets and creamy something. Everything was very fresh served with house made pita bread, falafels and Greek salad. A mixed appetizer with mild spice suitable for kids were tasty . Skewers of chicken were moist, typical expectations for good Greek food. The portions for lunch is small to just enough. Dining inside was very quiet and cozy, as take out seems very popular here.

Tried a new place for mediterranean food…read more Ambience - 3/5: when you first go in, they have the takeout area. There were quite a few people doing take out so I was initially confused on where to line up for a table. Once in the dining area, there is ample amount of seats. I also went on a weeknight so there weren't many guests. They also have a patio. At one point, one of the servers were commenting on the sunset but I couldn't see it from my view until I was finished and in my car. Service - 2/5: there wasn't anybody at the front. Once they were made aware that guests were in the front, we got seated quickly. We were allowed to choose our seats. Other than dropping off the plates, utensils and bringing the food, our server didn't check up on us. I had some questions about one of the appetizers we had but didn't manage to ask because they walked off already. When we were leaving, a customer was sitting at the "bar" and was trying to wave someone down to pay for their meal. Food - 2.75/5: we got the chicken snitzel plate and lamb skewers. Both came with garden salad and warmed pita bread (shared basket). We paired the snitzel with vegetables. The snitzel was dry. The sauce that it came with helped a little. The vegetables was nice and garlicky but was well overcooked. The lamb skewers - we ordered as medium-well. Most of the pieces were well done. The piece I tried was flavourful but quite dry. Tried the sauce - mostly tangly but I liked the flavour profile of lamb skewers on its' own. We paired it up with rice. The rice had a midge of butter in it. Otherwise, bland. I think food portion wise, it's smaller than what most other places would offer. We don't eat much and this was and early dinner so the portion size was more than enough personally. Overall: 2.75/5 - maybe I'll try the take out version next time

Price - $-$$, probably one of the cheaper Persian based kabob house that I have gone to. Generally, they are much more expensive. Ok - Portion size was ok, not the biggest portion - Lamb was surprisingly fall off the bone - The Kabobs was seasoned well, a little dry - The salad was ok Cons - Presentation could be better, on first glance, it looks like the food was not seasoned - They weren't that busy and they weren't closing soon but they ran out of the rice for the lamb - They definitely had way more rice than the actual toppings Overall: 3/5 - I would not be in a rush to go back.

A good takeout place We went hiking nearby at Wilcox lake…read more After the hike, I did not feel like cooking, so went there to get takeout. It was Christmas Eve, and most places are closed. However, it was open when we came around 6 pm. The order a platter to go, which contains 3 skews, rice and salad. It was definitely good for 2 people. The interior of this place was a bit run down, but the food I found was decent, good portion and taste pretty good. I would definitely order take out from this place if I was nearby and do not want to cook.
