When it comes to spots for shawarma and other Middle Eastern comfort foods, Tahini\u2019s<\/a> is a name that\u2019s becoming more widely known by the day in Hamilton and beyond. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s largely thanks to their terrific food, yes, but also in no small part due to their playful – and ever-growing – social media presence.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The small fast-casual franchise has been taking off recently on the globally popular video-sharing app TikTok, with an account<\/a> that\u2019s amassed well over 650,000 followers for snappy skits and sketches that are charming and engaging. They\u2019ve got an even larger audience on YouTube<\/a>, currently sitting at an impressive 1.2 million subscribers and counting.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tahini\u2019s wildly popular videos are just as good at making your mouth water as they are at making you chuckle; their colourful menu of Middle Eastern classics and fun fusion bites are on display to hundreds of thousands of people on social media every single day, and it\u2019s likely that a portion of those people feel struck by a sudden craving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like most food spots, however, Tahini\u2019s started quite small. The Ontario-born small business originally launched over 12 years ago, opening their first standalone location in London in 2012. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shawarma spot only rose in popularity from there, eventually turning into a franchise restaurant which has carefully spawned two-dozen locations across Ontario including Toronto, Whitby, Brantford, Barrie, Guelph, Oshawa, and here in Hamilton. They\u2019ve even recently opened their first location outside of Ontario in Airdrie, Alberta, with plans to expand further in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, Hamilton is now home to two locations of Tahini\u2019s. The first opened in late 2021 in the west end at 1554 Main Street West, steps away from McMaster University. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second opened mere weeks ago in Stoney Creek at 516 Centennial Parkway, Unit 4, bringing a more unique kind of food spot to a part of Hamilton that is relatively underserved by outstanding places to eat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe think the community in Stoney Creek needs a unique food experience,\u201d says Aly Hamam, Chief Marketing Officer for Tahini\u2019s. \u201cWe\u2019re happy to be that option for them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
