Tahini

I’ve been to Tahini a couple times, and as an adventurous eater I was pleasantly surprised by all the different options they offered for Tapas (and the great value for money too). When we wanted anything extra on top of the set Tapas (extra samosas/dip/flatbread etc) it was free. The first time I ate vegetarian and they had plenty options to cater for this. Staff were super friendly and knowledgeable about the food.

Great food, great atmosphere. However, I asked for all gluten free food as I am coeliac and have suffered for my lack of knowledge. Chips cooked in a fryer still have gluten on them from other foods regardless of the temperature. I thought it was strange when the waiter convincingly told me gluten gets burned off. Will not make that mistake again. Will definitely return as I cannot fault what was my lack of prep.

So.... Whilst the other half was in Hospital for Surgery, I decided to enjoy myself and head for some food. Walking around Dundee for a while, I remembered a restaurant me and her often walk past, that smelled amazing each time. Always said we would try it, anyway I will for the both of us :D Walked in and the atmosphere was really nice, for a Thursday Evening it was quiet. I was seated promptly, and the waitress came along with a nice jug of water. The menu is small, but it all looks good, couldn't say there was anything I wouldn't eat. Waitress had asked what I would like, sometimes, and I mean sometimes I am happy for someone else to pick, so I said "You pick something, just don't tell me what it is" Wow she said, and went off with a smile. The lassie came with the first course, "This is called, Baba Ghanoush" It was her favourite, To be honest, I just thought that is what Owen Wilson Called Vince Vaugh in Wedding Crashers, but nope, its an actual Starter. So, my thoughts on Baba Ghanoush. It looked good, White paste, with an olive in the middle, looked like some Olive Oil, and some seasoning. Actually looked like a Porridge, no Idea why I was expecting it to be sweet. Anyway it tasted like Porridge and Humus, not what I was expecting, Weirdly Its made from neither of these, actually made from Egg Plant, now that was a Surprise. I don't think I will order that again, My next course was a Chicken Shawarma, this looked amazing, and to be honest, it tasted EVEN BETTER..... Chicken Shawarma, Rice, 4 dips, and some bread, and to be honest I could have ate this twice over. Rice tasted amazing, One of the dips (Red One) tasted like Pakora Sauce, but alot better. I think there was a Humus and Garlic dip, first time I have tasted that, again cannot complain with that at all. there was a white dip, wish I caught the name, but never, I think large chunks of vegetables, wasn't too keen on it, but was tasty. Ended the meal with Baclava. All in all, I WILL be back, I will miss out the Baba Ghanoush, and try something else. but Server was amazing, Place was Amazing. EDIT..... Been again just this week 28/10/23 and again was just amazing, can 100% recommend the mixed laffa, literally have never tried anything like it in my life. Also updated with 4 new images Taboulli, lamb samosas, mixed laffa and chicken... Decided this time to take the ball and chain with me

Myself, partner and son went to Tahini's for a spot of lunch. I've been wanting to visit for a while. Even more since my partner told me how tasty it was ( the little sneak went without me 😂) My son being the fussy 9 year old brought his happy meal from McDonald's. The staff were lovely about that and showed us to a table. I ordered a tabouleh for a starter which was lovely and fresh. The taste of lemons with the Bulger wheat, tomatoes , cucumber and parsley. For my main I had a lamb and chicken laffa with rice. This was my favourite! The sauce was delicious. I would highly recommend. And for pudding I had baklava to take home since the portion were so big and filling. (That is my no means a complaint!) Can't wait to come back!

We entered on the spur of the moment just before 5pm on a Friday. They were able to offer us a table, the place did get busy later on. We had the four course fixed menu. Not knowing what we were going to get we didn't pace ourselves and the flat breads in the first course filled us up, by the time all the meats came in the third course - we were in trouble. Completely stuffed by the end of the meal. The tip of the day is to pace yourself and not fill your faces on course one.

I adore Tahini. I've had the pleasure of visiting twice this year. Ideal venue for a date, birthday meal or catch up / celebration with friends or family. Its a set menu, with four courses. Smaller restaurant, so there are only a few tables available - highly recommend that you place a booking in advance to guarantee as it's rightfully popular. The size adds to the warmth, cosiness and character of the physical space. It's centrally located too. Faitl priced for the service and standard of food you get - roughly £30-40 per person but absolutely worth it everytime. Service is welcoming, warm and prompt. The staff are very willing to attend to your every need and request, and have consistently gone above and beyond. The food has been consistent, well presented and delicious across the last three times I've visited - an incredible, mouth watering array of tapas style dishes. Cannot recommend it enough. One of my top restaurant picks.

If there is one place you must visit when in Dundee it’s this amazing restaurant, wonderful atmosphere for such a small place and great service but best of all fantastic food. The fixed menu was just wonderful. We were fortunate to get a table at the last minute but I recommend you book as it’s a very small restaurant. I can give nothing less than five stars as it was a perfect evening for us.
