Located in a non-descript plaza in a stretch of industrial area, TF has been on my radar for quite…read moresome time, and I finally had a chance to drop in for a weekday lunch with my hubby last week. We came in hoping for a quick lunch buffet but we were told that the lunch buffet was only on Sundays, so please take note for those wanting to try their buffet. The dining room was not as big as I thought from the photos (maybe 10 tables of 4) and the patio outside seemed nice enough, albeit not having the nicest view. We ordered the tandoori feast combo, channa masala and a plain Naan to share. The food took some time to come, but came out freshly cooked and nicely presented. Portion size was decent and I felt the flavours here were definitely more to my taste than other Indian food options in the area (spice kitchen, vindaloo express...etc), so I will likely come back to try more of their offering. The beef kabob and chicken Tikka boti had lovely BBQ flavour and the bed of rice they came on was also delicious with great fluffy texture. The channa masala was not tomato-ey as the versions I've had at other Indian restos, but tasty nonetheless. Freshly baked Naan made for a pillowy vessel for the channa masala. We thoroughly enjoyed our first meal here and we look forward to returning to try our their buffer!

Every single dish we have had has been fantastic. Freshly made, and even if we ask for a little modification they do it graciously. Best part is that you can see it's a little family owned run business who are very hospitable and humble and take pride in the food they make. The restaurant is in a little hidden area you wouldn't expect but lots of parking and easy to get to. A real hidden gem.

I had a few minutes before I had to hop into the Danforth Music Hall for a show, so I figured I'd…read moregrab a quick bite at Zaad. I walked in and the first thing I noticed was how loud the music was. I don't want to sound like an old fuddy duddy, but the volume was at a level you would usually associate with a popular bar or nightclub. And since the only other people in there was a family of three, it really didn't make any sense. Anyway, I figured I'd forge ahead and grab the Lamb and Beef Shawarma Saj ("Mix of lamb and beef shawarma wrapped in a 12-inch traditional middle eastern style flatbread") and I requested that with everything and extra spicy. It's fine. They put way too much sauce and there were zero crispy meat bits, but it basically satisfied my shawarma craving. It's a lot of food, too, so much so that I didn't even finish. Zaad has plenty of potential (first turn down that music and focus on getting that meat crispy) but they're not quite there yet.

It was quite late so it wasn't busy but they were still fulfilling online orders. We ordered and ate. It took a bit for me to get to order but I think it's just because they didn't realize we were doing separate orders. Overall it was good. My only complaint was that they were basically out of tomatoes so I just got two sad looking slices in my whole wrap. Otherwise, food was tasty (I had the saj which was a bit messy). I'm not in a rush to go back but it was solid.

Tips: - This eatery is on Uber Eats…read more - You can also place an order through Tahini's directly. I have been visiting Tahini's in Richmond Hill fairly often. It's one of the closer locations to me. I then found that there's a Tahini's in the Malvern area of Scarborough. Frankly, both are equidistant to me. This past Saturday, I was stopped at a light on Highway 7. I saw a sign for Tahini's. What?! A Tahini's in Markham? Yes! I came here tonight to fetch dinner. Sadly, this eatery takes over from Shawarma Stop, a long-established eatery. I place an order on Uber Eats. I got the tandoori chicken shawarma wraps. It was a BOGO deal on the app. I was given an estimate of fifteen minutes for my order to be ready. I was fairly close by, so I drove over to the eatery and waited in the plaza. There was plenty of parking. What can be confusing are the two doors. You enter and exit the one on the left when you are looking at the store's exterior. The door on the right is an emergency exit. I walked in. It was bright and inviting. I like that the pickup area has a sign that you can't miss. I saw my name on the screen. It looked like it was still being prepared. Two men were behind the counter, making my wraps. I let them know my name and my order. They said that they needed five more minutes. I was good and took photos. One of them noticed that I liked the decor. I had no idea that Tahini's started in London, ON. We got to talking about my visiting the Richmond Hill location. I was thrilled that this location is much closer. I asked them how long this eatery has been open for. It's pretty new. This week is the third week since it has been open for business. They also nodded when I said that it used to be Shawarma Stop. I saw them put my wraps together and grill them. It was cool seeing the entire process. They put my items in individual sleeves, and then in a paper bag, followed by sealing it. I thanked them and headed out the door with my food. I then drove home to have one of them for dinner. This wrap was awesome. I asked for no additional spicy sauce. The tandoori chicken was flavourful, with a bit of heat already. The chicken morsels were so tender and yummy. The veggies were fresh. I loved the crunchy pickles. I loved the wrap. It was thin enough to hold everything inside without ripping. Yummy! Welcome to Markham, Tahini's! I'm so glad that you're here. I'll be back for more good eats. (379)

Upon arriving there were maybe 3 other patrons in the store. It's really hot in the store and definitely a tad stuffy.

Taste wise I think it just wasn't my preferred spices for my taste bud but I probably wouldn't order the shawarma again for myself. Perhaps need to give their other foods a try.

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!
