The restaurant specializes in 100% Halal Middle Eastern cuisine, which it describes as healthy, authentic, and made fresh daily. The menu features a variety of shawarma wraps, bowls, and platters, including specific offerings such as the Beef Shawarma Wrap, Blueberry Flame Shawarma, and the Royal Shawarma Tray.

They also offer unique items like Habibi Churro Bites and Chipotle Mango fries, along with signature Garlic and Habanero sauces. Founded by Omar Hamam, the restaurant grew from a single location into one of Canada's fastest-growing Mediterranean brands after winning first place for Middle Eastern restaurants in London on Trip Advisor. The business was further expanded through the Tahini’s Franchising Corporation, with co-founders Aly Hamam and Ahmed Dessouki also playing key roles in marketing and supply chain operations. The owners aim to provide a "flavour overload" experience through bold spices and genuine hospitality. Customers can dine in, take out, or opt for delivery and pickup. The restaurant also offers a loyalty program through a dedicated app where guests can earn points for rewards, such as birthday surprises and free favorites.
