Tahini - Harpenden

I had an incredible dining experience at this restaurant! The food was delicious and truly authentic, bursting with flavor and vibrant colors. We sat at the bar, which offered a fascinating view of the kitchen where we could see the ingredients being prepared and cooked. The staff was attentive and more than happy to answer any questions we had. They recommend ordering two or three dishes per person, which is just perfect for dinner. Be sure to make a reservation, as this new spot in Harping is very popular. I can't wait to go back!

This was my first experience at a tapas-style Turkish restaurant, part of a chain. We visited the Harp Ends location and sampled a variety of dishes, including lamb liver and pulled lamb, warm potato salad, roasted butternut squash with cheese, as well as delicious garlic shrimp and sea bass wrapped in vine leaves, and chicken wings. The dips and pita bread were also delightful, with each dish featuring a unique twist on traditional recipes. While 2-3 dishes per person would typically be sufficient, we decided to share 4 dishes and were certainly not disappointed. I would definitely eat there again!

"'Tab Bure Ray' deserves credit for their effort in the new extension and renovations. I really love the look of the interior! There are plenty of tables, and the ambiance is beautiful. The staff was wonderful—attentive without being overbearing. The food was presented beautifully, but keep in mind that the dishes are more in the tapas style, so I recommend ordering about 2-3 dishes per person to taste. The hummus was enjoyable, but I didn’t really taste or smell the truffle oil as expected. The butternut quesadilla was lovely, just like the cod. However, the beef was a bit too intense for my liking; there was an overload of mint, herbs, salt, and spices. The meat itself was cooked well. I also tried the rice with vermicelli noodles, but the noodles were tough and difficult to chew. I had it before when it was prepared with tahini, and it was much better. Would I go back? Yes, but not in a hurry. I appreciate this place more for its aesthetic than for the food itself."

Very nice menu, a relative eating with us, which is Turkish and has been there several times because he likes the menu, describes the kitchen as traditional, but with a modern twist, for the western European palate. the staff was very friendly and welcoming. we liked eating very much, but it's a little expensive.

Clean, tidy, great food, great service from knowledgeable friendly staff. Excellent evening all round. We weren't hurried which was nice. We also allowed the team to organise our food choices. We just told them what we didn't like. Looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommend.
