What Daisy duck likes about Tahini Lebanese Diner:
I went to this restaurant for a work lunch and ordered a tablieh. I was pleasantly surprised by the generous portion of food that arrived. The wrap was tasty but a bit challenging to eat as the fillings were prone to spilling out. The restaurant was very busy during lunchtime, so it's recommended to make a reservation in advance. View all feedback. What Rosa b doesn't like about Tahini Lebanese Diner:
Terrible service and bad attitude from some staff. We arrived 4 from our group of 7 at 12pm and waiter was quite arrogant and told us we need vacate table at 1pm practically as soon as we sat down. Then insisted we need to have a set menu and I told him we don’t need to as we are only 7 and I am vegetarian. He was annoyed only half group was on time and made us order the remaining meals of others at same time. At 12.... View all feedback.

This restaurant is ideal for a lunch spot for those working in the city. The falafel wrap is consistently a great choice - it's tasty, fresh, and made quickly!
