How we Serve Tahini?
Our tahini is made fresh with high-quality sesame paste and blended to a silky, pourable consistency. It’s one of the most iconic Mediterranean sauces — nutty, tangy, and endlessly versatile.
You can enjoy it as:
A topping for falafel, shawarma, or gyros
A drizzle over bowls or grain plates
A dip for vegetables or pita
A base for homemade dressings or spreads (like hummus or baba ghanoush)
Its balanced flavor complements both vegetarian and protein-heavy dishes.
