Consistently delicious food. Everything I’ve had is great; I especially love the frozen yogurt and the shawarma wrap.
Closed on Sundays!

Big fan of Tahina but recently have been a little disappointed. I can’t take bite of my wraps without getting all of just one ingredient. The garlic “spread” is just slapped on the outside instead of evenly spread throughout the wrap. Please find a way to mix / layer the ingredients and it would be perfect!

I always order my lunch once a week from Tahina; it is amazing and healthy. But today when I ordered, I was taken back as the rice was stale, the avocado was rotten and the onions were soiled. The whole palate felt like old and not fresh, including the salad. It did not feel good eating. I was so impressed by them till today.

The worst meal I’ve had in years. I had this place bookmarked for a while and finally tried it while in Alameda. Big mistake.
The reviews claim a 4.7 and rave about the vegan options. I’ve learned the hard way that a lot of Bay Area reviews, especially near college towns come from people who are hungry, not discerning. Now I understand Alameda is not a place you go for good food at all (this is the second disappointing spot I’ve tried).
The food had zero flavor. Yes, it looks colorful, but I genuinely don’t think salt exists in their kitchen. I ordered the falafel plate. Even the yellow saffron rice tasted like plain water. The only thing with any flavor was the pickled onions and that says everything.
I ordered at 4:30 pm, and the falafel tasted like it was fried in old oil. No warmth, no spice, no Mediterranean flavor whatsoever.
I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. I literally threw the food away in the Trader Joe’s parking lot down the street. If you’re starving, maybe. Otherwise, just yuck

Tahina is an absolute gem when it comes to delicious food! Every bite is packed with flavor, and the quality is outstanding. Their menu is well-crafted, offering some of the best dishes I’ve had in a long time. The customer service is just as impressive—friendly, quick, and attentive. The only downside is that there’s no seating available, so it’s more of a takeout or grab-and-go spot. However, the incredible taste of the food and the top-notch service make up for it.
If you’re looking for a place with amazing food and excellent service, Tahina is the spot. I’d give both food and customer service a solid 10/10! Highly recommend!

This is a great little spot with delicious food. I got the chicken shawarma plate with labane and fries which come with pita and a side salad. For the sauces I got their hot sauce and their cilantro garlic sauce? (Sorry I forgot the exact name but it’s a great combo if you order the fries as a side.) My lady ordered the lamb/beef combo plate with hummus, and the quinoa side salad. The portions are actually worth the price unlike the chain Mediterranean spots that are all rice and no meat. Their pita is definitely unlike anything I’ve tried at other places, it’s light, fluffy, and just addicting! Their drink selection is vast too! I recommend the blue can juices they just complement the meal so well. Last but certainly not least, they have the Dubai chocolate! Not a brick but just enough to enjoy yourself post meal. The staff were very nice even though you could tell they were busy with online orders! We will definitely be back to try their other menu items 🙂

This is my favorite to-go spot for lunch. Parking can be difficult at times in this area, but their spot is right next to the door so it makes for a quick pickup if you order ahead.
Healthy and delicious food. I recommend the tahina bowl or the chicken plate.

The food is absolutely delicious! You can’t go wrong with anything here and all of it is fresh and filling. The chicken shawarma plate is my GO TO order and it never fails to amaze me. I highly recommend eating here for lunch or dinner!
