I signed up for Tahini's rewards program a while back. I was pleasantly surprised to get a message in my inbox saying that I got fries to celebrate my birthday. I could come during the month of July to redeem them. A couple of Saturdays ago, I was in Pickering and wondered if it had a Tahini's. It sure did! I decided to redeem my birthday perk here and order dinner. There was plenty of parking in front of this eatery. I backed into a spot and walked in. There was a family in the corner chowing down. There was a person ahead of me, which was perfect. I could look at the menu to figure out what I wanted. I spotted shawarma ramen. You can get either chicken or halloumi. Cool! A nice man came over after he was done preparing food. I let him know that I had fries as part of my birthday perk to redeem. He nodded. It was my first time redeeming, so I needed his help to guide me through it. I got an e-mail. He said that my perk would have been loaded to my account and he simply needed to scan my rewards barcode. I pulled out my Tahini's app. He scanned my barcode. Done! I also ordered chicken shawarma ramen. I got it mild and for takeout. You can only order it at Tahini's and not ahead of time. I got my barcode scanned again to earn points. I then paid with a credit card. The transaction was smooth. I used the washroom. The single stall that I used was clean and nicely maintained. I sat down while I waited for my order. I can see myself dining in here. It had a relaxed feel. It didn't take too long for my order to be ready. I picked up my paper bag with my food and thanked the man. I then headed to my car, put my food in an insulated bag, and drove home. My food was still hot when I unpacked everything. It's nice that Pickering is next door to Markham, so the drive back decent. I got fries in a bag. It was my first time ever having fries from Tahini's. I liked that there was a light coating of batter. The fries were amazing. I didn't need to put ketchup or find dipping sauce. I loved them. This Tahini's gets full marks for customer service and fries. It's a bit of a gamble trying a fusion of shawarma and ramen. I will give top marks for creativity. I learned from this experience that it needs to be eaten immediately or I need to specify that the broth be in a separate container. The store did not separate the ramen from the broth. When I opened the container, there wasn't any broth. My guess is that the ramen got thirsty and drank the broth all up as I drove home. I essentially had cheesy ramen with no broth. Not horrible. Just weird for someone who was looking forward to a bowl of ramen with broth. The flavours were good. The chicken shawarma had a lot of flavour. The chicken morsels were tender. The ramen was cooked perfectly. I loved the green onions. It had moisture thanks to the ramen absorbing all the broth. I just wanted to have the broth in its natural soupy format. I don't normally have ramen with cheese. I know that it's a thing. I remember a former intern saying that I should have it with some cheese. I'm not a person who craves cheese on everything. It worked with this ramen, but I'd be fine without it. I got my ramen mild. It was indeed mild spice-wise. I may be daring next time and go with the spicy version. I feel the need to return and have the ramen again. I'd eat it at the restaurant or ask that I get the broth in a small container. I had a decent experience. I'll be back! (314)

Chashushuli - nothing special, they are mashed potatoes, hard to mess up and these were just fine.

The food was quite hearty and flavourful, and overall okay. However, some of the dishes were…read moreextremely salty. The venue is a bit rundown, with the menus also falling apart. Some of the reviews say that the venue is elegant and cozy, but I can attest that it is definitely not. There was a bit of unpleasantness when we asked for extra bowls to share some of the soup. This simple request was turned down, despite that we were the only customers that evening. The reason was that they would not be in a position to offer us any extra bowls/spoons, unless each bowl was an order of soup. I understand the reasoning to maximize profits, but the fact that flexible customer service could not be provided to your only customers does baffle me. Let me also point out that we only ordered three bowls of soup to share, because we weren't sure we would like the soup, especially since it was our first time venturing into Georgian cuisine. In the end, we didn't order a lot of food because the portions were quite big and we didn't want to waste any food, especially since we had a lot of kids and seniors in our group. If the restaurant owner would like to specify a minimum charge per head, we would be happy to comply, but they were not happy with our consumption volumes. We were quite excited to try authentic Georgian cuisine, but were left a bit disappointed by the poor customer service. For those wishing to venture out and try a new type of cuisine, I would suggest going to a more accommodating restaurant, especially if you have children and seniors.

Can't go wrong with beef shwarma... great flavors and a bit of tanginess... I didn't expect to like the chicken shwarma but it was nice and smokey... which fishes it some added depth. At other places, shish kebob can be over cooked and dry... not here... grilled on the outside but tender on the inside. Love these flavors... wish we could have had extra containers of that yummy sauce on the side. I don't know what it is... but the potatoes where so so good. There is lots of staples and salad to fill you up. So in total there was plenty... but I felt like I would like a tiny little more meat for the price of the shwarma... the shish kebob seems about right because it's chuncks of meat vs thin sliced. Overall giving this a 3.25 start rating.

What us relatively unique is that for about ten bucks you get a pretty hefty sandwich of chicken mixed in a bowl with a wide assortment of fixings as tomatoes, medeterrean salad and red cabbage. Typical shops have much fewer filling options schmeared on a bagged pita bread and smushed in a panini press. The bread hear appears house made, certainly unique and so doing kind of sticks to the wrapping paper. But still, an enjoyable bite of mixed veg and chicken. While a bit on the dry side and buried with the veg and sauce, thst is a big sandwich and very fresh. I would saw that Mr. Zagros is a good option when you get a craving for a schwarma or falafel. Be prepared to pay a premium, as about $32.00 for three sandwiches and one soda.

We went on 2026-08-26 for dinner. We ordered the Koobideh Kebab ($17.99). This big platter consists of two skewers of fresh Ontario ground beef & lamb, traditionally seasoned and served with steamed rice, grilled tomatoes and peppers, some big walnut pices, and some pomegranate seeds. The customer service was good. The platter was presented well and was very delicious. It was enough for about 3 people, with enough rice for 5-6 people! This is definitely worth it for $17.99! For once what we received was bigger and more beautiful than on their menu photos. We must come back and try some other dishes! On the tables, there are condiments, napkins, and empty glasses. If you are taking your food to-go, they supply you with a napkin, utensils, some butter, and a small package of Sumac. There is an open kitchen. You can see the kebabs being grilled with a traditional fan spreading the heat. There will be a coffee and snacks/desserts section in about a week. There is adequate indoor seating upstairs. There is free WiFi. The restaurant is not wheelchair accessible. I didn't see any washrooms. There is paid neighbourhood street parking. There is one high chair for little children Review 2026-159

AWESOME FAMILY RESTAURANT AND VERY REASONABLE PRICE!…read more We've been to quite a few restaurants along Danforth since it's more convenient, and we thought - why don't we go a bit farther from the major intersection and see how it goes? I'm glad we did and what a great experience at Pape Village! I'd admit we aren't too familiar with Greek cuisine so it took us a while to go over the menu and had to ask a bunch of questions. It was a busy night (even though it was early on a weeknight), but the staff was very patient in answering our questions and gave us some good ideas. Unlike some other places in the area, they didn't rush us in placing the order at all and we appreciated that very much! We started with two appetizers: taramosalata (a fish roe dip) and fried calamari. The dip was great - the typical good quality you'd expect from a decent restaurant. What really surprised us was the fried calamari - it was perfectly deep fried with thin batter, and the squid was so tender :) Then, we ran into a "challenge" - we were sort of half full by that time, and judging by the food portion from other guests, we decided to order just one main course to share. It turns out to be a great decision as the main course was HUGE!!! We wanted to order the Kontosouvli Pork, but it's only available during weekend thus we ordered Pork Souvlaki instead. The pork was nicely grilled - super tender and juicy. Given the high food quality and excellent services, the price was more than reasonable. We'll definitely visit again, probably during weekend in order to try the Kontosouvli Pork :)

Came here for dinner and got: - Dip Combo of tzaziki, taramosalata (fish roe), tirokafteri (spicy feta cheese) and roasted eggplant: Easy standout was the eggplant, with its distinct flavour and interesting texture. The other dips were generically smooth and standard tasting. - Salted Cod: When they say salted, they mean it to a too-much degree. This was basically salt in fish form, if the fish was also a bit rubbery. Side garlic mash, though lumpy, at least helped valance the extreme saltiness a bit. - Grilled Octopus: Standard grilled taste, a bit rubbery. Base salad it sat on was forgettable. Service was efficient and friendly. While we were there, it was filled with diners who seemed to be enjoying their meals tremendously, and who definitely seemed liked they'd continue the long line of folks who give Pape Village glowing reviews. So if you like Greek food and want to support a small business, drop by since I may just be in the minority here.

I am so glad I did because this place makes their kebabs so well! I like that the kebabs are juicy and flavorful, even when microwaved the next day!

My make it or break it experiences is the tomatoes to be honest, and the first bite of the tomato was perfect I don't like when the kebabs are dry, and Zaffron makes sure their kebabs are moist & super tender.
