Tasty Shawarma
Adrian C.

Tasty Shawarma lives up to its name friends and foes. I traveled long and far to reach this place. I waited for 30 minutes for the tasty Shawarma. And it was everything I was craving and more. Friends, bring your girlfriend too it will put her to sleep. Yeee haaa zzz... Once she wakes up she will remember you as the man who brought her tasty Shawarma. She will remember the turnips and the pickles. Most importantly she will remember the spicy meat. - The Lord of the Shawarma

Beef shawarma plate
Shaan A.

Tasty shawarma is T A S T Y. I've been going to Tasty Shawarma since before I could even Yelp (the original location in North York near Fairview mall). I was ecstatic when they opened up in richmond hill (off of Yonge near weldrick in the Sansotei plaza). If you're in the mood for some filling shawarma, or burgers this is the spot for you. The restaurant is modern and has a really nice appearance. Food network will be playing on the TVs to help build an appetite while your food is being prepared. I usually get takeout, but decided to dine in this time. I've tried basically everything on the menu and can attest to its freshness and taste. Decided on a beef shawarma plate this time, and it was spectacular! Very flavourful beef, and the rice is awesome too! You also get a salad or fries with your meal. I opted for salad. A basic salad but it's definitely fresh. I have to mention the burgers again, what a great deal and soooo delicious. The value you get out of any meal here is great! Definitely a staple part of my food rotations.

Saw the 2 for $10 shawarma sign so I had to try since I love shawarma. I got chicken. Was not surprised that it was not as big as other places since the price was much lower. However, the veggies in the picture/menu did not match what I got. The picture has beets and no pickles. I love beets so I was excited to eat some, however upon eating my shawarma, there were no beets but pickles instead (I hate pickles). I think there was little to none hummus and garlic spread as well. A lot of onions. Overall, it was simply OK... I would rather spend $2-3 more to go elsewhere for a shawarma with more filling.

Mixed Shawarma Plate
Fay C.

Really good shawarma. I got the Mixed Shawarma Plate. Good sized portions (I had leftovers) and decently priced. Their rice is to die for. I would ask for lots of garlic sauce and lots of hot sauce, as it doesn't come with a lot of either. Good place for a quick and filling bite!

I'm now a regular here .. very casual . hard working, kind and hospitable staff that smile to you EVERY time !! like the name of the place says : TASTY SHAWARMA" . i recommend this place to shawarma lovers Keep up the great work Tasty Shawarma !!!

Falafel sandwich (no garlic sauce)
Ayad F.

Came here for their falafel sandwich. I ordered mine with no garlic sauce. Sandwich was loaded and tasty as advertised. They also sell falafel as a plate and as a side order. Nice clean decor. Worth checking out.

I ordered a chicken shawarma wrap and a beef shawarma plate to go. The cashier was kind and immediately notified the chef when I changed from a chicken plate to a beef plate. There was a good 15-20 minute wait although we were the only customers that ordered something at that time. The seats and TVs helped time past. Food was mediocre. The wrap had less meat and much more vegetables as compared to other restaurants but it was less than $5. This was my first time having beef shawarma and I was satisfied. There could be more sauce on both or at least on the side. Will be returning to try other dishes.

Mix Shawarma
Allison L.

Small menu selection but the food was really good, portion size of the shawarma plate and burger was worth the price. A few sides to choose from, potato wedges, rice, salad, tabouli or hummus. Shawarma plate was flavorful and very filling. Beef burger had a charbroiled taste to it, the patty was juicy and went well together with the cheese, lettuce and tomatoes. Wait time for food was longer than expected for a shawarma place but the nice seats and TVs made the wait much better. Overall, will definitely be coming back.

Chicken shawarma plat (take out)
Mo B.

I've only been here once and tried the chicken shawarma plate for takeout. I must say it was indeed really tasty!!! One of the best I've had for a while. Living outside of Toronto for a while, I had forgotten how good shawarma taste like. The menu seemed a bit limited but i always just get the chicken shawarma roll up or plate anyway. Food: 4.5 Price: 3.5 considering the portions i'd expect the food to be a bit cheaper compared to other shawarma places Service: N/A for now (I may update on my future visits)

The restaurant was quite busy when we arrived, but service was impressively quick and genuinely…read morefriendly, which immediately made the experience feel welcoming. 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.

Visited this restaurant on mother's day for a lovely lunch :)…read more What we ordered: Zucchini chips: ($27) 8.5/10 I've never had zucchini chips before, they were perfectly fried, light, and went well with the tzatziki. I feel like there could've been more zucchini for the price point Peppercorn steak: ($78) 8.5/10 Very tender and well-cooked steak. I couldn't really taste much of a peppercorn flavor in the sauce though. I prefer my steak on the saltier side so I asked for some salt and they gave me a small bowl of flakey sea salt (my favourite!). Lobster roll ($48): 9/10 I've never had avocado in a lobster roll before, and the flavours & textures actually worked really well together! The lobster tasted fresh and sweet. The fries were crispy and plentiful. This spot is on the pricier side, but the quality of the food, service, and ambiance is reflected in the price.

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!

Definitely recommend this place for food and service! I've…read morebeen here a few times and they've been consistently good, with great portion sizes also. Ample parking, and spacious dining area.

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)

Bad meal tonight .... Ordered the lamb pita. The pieces of meat are really small... I would have…read moreordered the kabob on its own had I known. 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.

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
