Tahina

Unclaimed

We wanted to try something different for lunch and were very pleasantly surprised with our food. This is a well oiled little establishment in the bustling street of Northcote. They don’t have a lot of seating (just stools inside along a couple of benches) and some tables outside but this all creates the atmosphere. Being here for the first time, We ordered the ‘date night for two’ $46 which gives you a sample of most of their dishes. Totally worth it and the stand outs were the monkey salad 10/10, the hummus dip, the sweet potatoes, the red and green falafel and their bread. Yes everything was incredible and we will definitely be back.

Never had this sort of food before so I didn't know what to expect. I ordered the red shakshuka which came with salad and pitas on the side, portions were large and dish was good value. This is a great place to grab a feed for lunch solo or with a few people.

Loved this place! They serve fresh, tasty vegan/vegetarian middle-eastern inspired food and it’s so so good. I had the falafel plate and it was really well balanced (2 types of falafel, green salad, sauerkraut and tahini/hummus). Super filling, especially if you get the pita as well. My partner got the falafel burger and it had so much flavour. The waitress was lovely and there was an overall welcoming vibe in the restaurant!

Great food and service! I got the pita option which included cauliflower. It was delicious with a generous portion. I also got a milkshake which was very refreshing. The milkshake and water glasses were very cute too. The overall setting on high street with both indoor and outdoor dining options was great! I definitely want to revisit this place on future trips to Melbourne. It will be fun to discover what else the menu has to offer!

A hidden gem worth discovering! Stumbled upon this place by chance and was pleasantly surprised. Authentic and delicious Middle Eastern cuisine—all vegetarian! The owner was warm and welcoming, which added to the charm. While the outdoor seating is a bit limited, it’s manageable. The variety of dishes was impressive, and every single one we tried was absolutely delightful. Highly recommend.
