History

Established in 2015.

We have a few historic things coming together to serve the great city of Wichita and surrounding areas. We are excited to open the first Tahini Mediterranean Eatery fast casual restaurant in the historic Delano business district. And since this is the first of many planned throughout the region and the USA, the folks in Wichita will be telling out-​of-​town visitors, «Hey, that’s the first Tahini Mediterranean Eatery ever to open!» Yet another historic item on our list.

Perhaps the best aspect of historic items related to the opening of our restaurant is the food! We’ll be serving customers wonderfully-​evolved recipes that found their beginnings hundreds – some even more than a thousand– years ago. They’ve endured for a number of reasons; not the least of which is flavor. Add the benefit of healthy ingredients to each recipe, and you get an unbeatable choice for a meal.
