Quick info
About Tahini
Tahini is a Lebanese restaurant on Bank Street in Dundee, serving the familiar mezze-and-grill format that runs from cold starters through to grilled mains. The kitchen covers classic Lebanese ground, with baba ghanoush among the starters and a shawarma takeaway deal for those collecting. A three-course set menu is on offer alongside the main list, and the team runs the room with an efficient, friendly manner, with the owner often on the floor and engaged with diners. Dogs are welcome inside, and the format works for both sit-down meals and quick takeaway orders. The restaurant sits in central Dundee, within walking distance of the surrounding shops and streets.

“We had the 3 course set menu. So much good food, we couldn't eat it all even though we wanted to.”
- Alaa Esmaiel
“On a recent trip to Dundee my family and I had dinner at this Lebanese restaurant on separate occasions, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice! The meals were sizable and had the true authentic taste of Lebanon, very delicious. Also, the owner was super friendly and we had a nice chat with him - and on a day when he was off he actually took the time to phone the restaurant just to enquire if everything was to our liking, which it was! The staff were very friendly as well, and the place had a lot of atmosphere. We will definitely stop by on any future visits to the city, and we highly recommend it - and not only to those with a taste for Lebanese or middle eastern food!”

“Ordered and collected Coeliac safe Gluten free food from here and the staff were so attentive and helpful. We ordered Chefs selection of the day and food was to die for. The staff also helpfully removed the non gluten free items to ease our minds. Never had such great food in Dundee. Pleasantly suprised by the tomato salad. Will definitely be back :)”

“Unbedingt das "Baba Ghanoush" als Starter nehmen! Alles andere auch perfekt 👍”
- Tara Mann
“We got the takeaway shawarma deal - and what a deal. Lamb was phenomenal. Chicken was divine. Full of spices and delicious and filling. Eleven out of ten this is replacing our other casual takeaway lunch options and we will be finding time to go in and have dinner!”
