Very disappointing experience at Cornerstone Tahini’s. I purchased a chicken rice bowl and, after opening the box, we noticed a bug on top of the chicken. Finding an insect in prepared food is extremely concerning and unacceptable, especially when it comes to basic hygiene and food safety. It was honestly frustrating and ruined the entire experience. Unfortunately, after this incident, I will not be visiting Cornerstone Tahini’s again. I hope management takes this seriously and improves their food-handling and hygiene standards.

Very friendly staff. Very helpful. Brought me my food after a little wait for the rice to cook. Overall taste is good, not great. Pickles are too salty and the sauce was too sweet. I thought the neat was pretty quality for a chain establishment. Portion size is exceptional, especially because this was a daily deal. They dod not decrease the size, only the price. I will certainly return to sample more of the menu, which is very diverse.

Stopped by to have dinner and was helped by Adnan & Jas. Both were super kind and very friendly. I tried the Butter Chicken Shawarma and it was very delicious. The pita bread was hand prepared infront of me and the chicken was cooked to perfection on the grill. Will be coming back again to eat here!!!

I picked up 3 gyros wraps today and I specifically asked if the garlic sauce was hot at all. I was told no but we definitely found out otherwise. I don’t mind hot so I was able to eat it but the other two were thrown into the garbage after a bite (parents do not like hot at all). Please make sure your staff base their recommendations on a typical person’s taste not on their personal palate. Questionable if I’ll ever visit again strictly because of the misdirection.

Had the falafel wrap and omg it was so good! The crunch, the freshness, the flavor… everything was on point. The wrap was packed but not messy, and every bite had that perfect mix of crispy falafel and fresh veggies. The tahini sauce tied it all together and made it even better. Service was quick and friendly, and the place feels super welcoming. Honestly, such a solid spot. Absolutely bang on. I would 100% come back
