The staff are so friendly and attentive that I would give 5 stars just for the service. Our server was informative, knowledgeable and patient as we asked a lot of questions because we don’t understand some of the Mediterranean terms. Perhaps the restaurant may consider menu with pictures?
There’s another staff who collects used plates and replaces with new ones and top up our glasses with water. He was very efficient!! I’m impressed!
I have to say that it is rare to have Michelin star service in a neighbourhood restaurant.
Ok, time to comment on the food which is simply amazing! The chicken (main course) especially is probably the best tender juicy chicken with crispy skin in Manhattan! I think this is down to the Mediterranean oven that they use to bake.
To start, we were served with freshly baked house focaccia with rosemary on top straight from the oven to our table. It’s warm, it’s soft inside , it’s heavenly!
We had three starters : cerviche, crab shawarma and tortellini. Love them all! Lots of crab meat, tortellini were so yummy with beef(?) inside. Cerviche with white fish is just refreshing.
Main course as mentioned above, it was perfect!
Our server recommended desert: Silan which is mouthwatering.
Highly recommend to make reservation because this place is always packed.
They have a lovely outdoor area setup with rooftop covering and ample ventilation and indoor heaters to keep you warm and toasty. Staff were very friendly, attentive and accommodating.
My first visit to Taboon - BRUNCH, bottomless.
Food: Lamb gyro was a winner (if you are lamb fan, worth trying - big portion so a great split item), the Moroccan Shakshooka was also lovely and the lamb sausage in it was quite delicious. What is a mediterranean meal without over indulgence in lamb?!? If you are sharing party, theTaboon Trio came out with the most amazing bread and definitely warmed us up instantly.
Drinks: The mimosas were beautiful, light and yet effective. Cocktails were also quite nice. Watch out for the coffee - this was my second visit and the coffee, unfortunately was very disappointing and had to request a fresh brew which was later served to some degree of satisfaction.
Look forward to exploring other items on their menu, perhaps over dinner and dessert!
This place exceeded my expectations. We shared the trio appetizer with the babaganoush, feta spread, and the hummus. The bread that it comes with is superb and worth the carbs! Bronzino and the Taboon salad with lamb kebab were both delicious. Also get the date sponge cake! Service was attentive. Will definitely be back.
Not easy to get a reservation here so plan in advance. The atmosphere makes it a great spot for dates. Their restaurant week menu does not disappoint. The quality of their meats was on point and paired with fresh ingredients that took your mind off of the cold weather outside. While I was able to get a taste of the lamb I would also recommend the kebabs. I would also avoid the deconstructed lasagna as the flavor of the ingredients were lost in the lasagna. Be sure to try the silan as your dessert, the coconut shreddings literally melt in your mouth.
Excellent mediterranean restaurant. The house focaccia bread is very tasty. They have a selection of different hummus which are very authentic, aka not like the american hummus. The dessert really topped it up. We had Silan which is like a combination of breakfast cereal and ice cream on steroids.
It was good to come back to Taboon and bring the kids this time. The food was very very good. Not quite excellent, but very very good. The menu felt a little more limited, but still had all the things you would expect from a mid-eastern inspired menu.
The overall issue was some of the food had too much flavor (salt) and some was lacking. The hummus was heavy on tahini and the taramsalata very salty and no lemon flavor. But the feta dip was excellent.
The burger was a huge hit with my son, and my daughter loved the falafel. My husband had the hummus bassar which was a hearty plate. My entree salad very tasty and light.
Service was friendly and attentive. The kids definitely want to go back, so if it works for them, it works for us.
Really good brunch with delicious Mediterranean/Middle east food. Wide selection of Shakshoukas and other egg based dishes with huge portions
The drinks are a tad expensive and there was no brunch special
Food was quite tasty though small in portion and pricey. Great service. Just don't get the fondue. It's just a fancy way of saying they melted cheese on top of something.
Perhaps one of the best restaurants that I've been to in NYC
They say their cuisine is MiddleTerean which is not a place from Lord of the rings but rather a mix of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean food.
Amazing appetizers
Expensive but worth it
Make reservations
I have been to this place twice and I couldn’t speak highly enough of everything they have to offer. The ambience, the clientele, and dishes are high quality with amazing taste! Sitting at the bar was entertaining. The bartender was very engaging and fun to talk to. I know there’s a lot of places to dine around the area... but this place is truly worth visiting. You won’t be disappointed! Happy eating and be well.♥️
Outstanding place. Must go. Cauliflower mast have. Sounds weird. I know. I’m not a big fan of cauliflower either. But it is good of Gods! Lamb meatballs. Amazing. Ask foe bread baked there. Awesome
A very nice place to enjoy mezes. There are plenty of vegetarian options available, there are delicious cocktails, good desserts, and the room isn't too loud, even when full.
One of the best Mediterranean restaurant I have ever been to. Simply amazing food!!! Falafel is superb. Ambience is great. Stuffs are very nice. A must eat place...
Really lovely food with a fast service and nice atmosphere. Be sure to book a table to avoid waiting as it gets busy from 17:30!
This Mediterranean tapas place is the classiest secret of 10th Ave in Hell's Kitchen. Popular date spot with indoor and outdoor seating. Reservations get taken quickly but they usually have some space for walk-ins. Wine is on point. Cocktails are mixologist level.
Tonight I got a French rose because it was so hot out. We had the Taboon trio dips with their freshly baked home made bread: babaganoush, cauliflower hummus, and traditional hummus. Then we had the zucchini called which I could eat a meal of by themselves. My wife had a Taboon salad for her main and I got the lamb kabob shepherd's pie with tomatoes and eggplant. The breaded crust on the top of the per was freshly baked as well — perfectly flakey and doughy. I'm never eating anywhere else again.
Happy eats.
Such a great experience! The food was amazing and the service was wonderful!!!
The cauliflower was great, the shrimp so tasty, and actually every dish was so so good!
One of my favorite mediterranean food places in NYC. Great food and ambience. Service was excellent as well
Would love to come back.
Tasty Mediterranean food served in cozy atmosphere with friendly staff. The Taboon bread is addictive.
Really great restaurant week deal and great food. I got fish paella and my date got the short rib sandwich for entrees and both were eaten completely. The silan dessert was one of the best thing I have eaten
