Tahina Bar Northcote

Best Known For

Falafel salad, on a bed of hummus, with Israeli and spicy green salad, pickled cabbage, tahini, parsley and za’atar.

Inspired by Israeli street food with a gourmet twist, Tahina Bar on High Street in Northcote gives new meaning to the concept of fast food. A casual vibe of painted exposed brick and cream walls, high stools and trailing greenery, sets the mood for a vegetarian menu of fresh, quality ingredients prepared with passion and love. Drop by during the day and pick up a pita pocket with sauteed mushrooms, pumpkin, hummus, Israeli salad, pickled cabbage and tahini; or dine later on a green shakshuka platter with free-range eggs, broccoli, avocado, zucchini, Kalamata olives, chilli, fresh thyme, rosemary and pita bread. For the sweet tooth, try a vegan coconut pudding, infused with rose water and topped with pistachios and maple syrup; washed down by a salted caramel, banana and date smoothie.
