The eggplant was nicely fried, and I appreciate that they offer the sandwich in a laffa as well, which is usually my preferred vessel when available. The falafel was a bit dry, but not bad. I wasn't expecting fries on the side, but they were a welcome (and delicious) addition.

He enjoyed his first sample of Turkish food and we enjoyed the hospitality and the experience. Service was friendly throughout and the food was very authentic. We started with some mezzes and I loved the Babaganoush but I wasn't crazy about the Tabbouleh. The Sigara Böreği was delicious and I highly recommend those. My nephew had chicken saute for his entree and he enjoyed it. The portion size was very large. My husband and I split a beyti kebab, which was very good.

It was a little hard to hear and converse at times as it gets crowded, but the food was delicious and there are really unique items on the menu. Food: The duck shawarma was one of our favorites! The lamb and scallops were also flavorful and tender. The dips were delicious with the pita, but I wish the serving size for the dips were bigger. The fries were great - well seasoned! Also recommend the milky pudding, it was a nice refreshing way to end the dinner. Service: Our server was super helpful in letting us know what items are more shareable and his suggestions for cocktails. Definitely try some of the arak based cocktails. Vibe: Gorgeous interior, the mirrors and lighting really elevates the space and makes it a lovely spot for group dinners or dates.

We went for Mother's Day brunch. When we arrived a few minutes early we did have to wait a bit. The…read morerestaurant had two floors, nicely decorated and cozy. We were lead upstairs to a table. There were 7 of us The seating was cozy but not cramped. We started with 7 family style small dishes: Hummus with Falafel Pops (chickpea purée, tahini, falafel, olive oil), Spring Burrata (roasted cherry tomatoes, toast, basil oil), Hamachi Crudo (passionfruit vinaigrette, citrus zest, cucumber, mint, sesame tuile), Scallops (carrot puree, serrano pepper, brown butter sauce), Tenderloin Skewer (zaatar chimichurri, fresh herb salad), and Shiitake Stuffed Grape Leaves (tomato coulis, yogurt foam, herbs). Everything was delicious. The hummus was well seasoned the falafel had a nice crunch. It went well with the warm puffy gyro bread that came to the table. The burrata was wasm and creamy. I love the vinaigrette on the fish. I ended up eating most of it. The scallops were the sweetest, most tender ones I have ever had. The tenderloin skewers were tender and well seasoned. I liked the grape leaves but the rice consistency was very soft almost mushy and you can barely tell there were mushrooms. There was barely any mushrooms flavor. Next we all chose an entree. I got the duck breast, my husband and daughter each had the beef tenderloin. The duck breast was smaller than i expected. The skin was nicely seared and very crispy but boy did it give my jaw a workout. It was done medium rare. It was juicy but tough. The small beef tenderloin was tender and smoky. The waiter poured the sauce over the tenderloin for added flavor. Finally dessert was a fruit plate with ice cream and pudding. The fruit was fresh and the flavors of the ice cream and pudding unique. It was a nice end to a good brunch. The price was a little expensive at $85 a person.

The vibe is super upscale and they have gorgeous interior decor. That being said, service is quite slow at 8am in the morning. The shakshuka and eggs mesemen are nothing to write home about. both seem like something you could make at home and both were quite ordinary flavor wise. the former came with pita bread, which was delicious, but only 2 eggs. the latter was honestly pretty bad and just tasted like watery tomatoes. no eggs nor any spice to be had. the french toast on the other hand was crispy on the sides and super custardy in the middle. it came with cream, strawberry compote, and syrup. while definitely not the most inventive french toast, the texture was absolutely fantastic.

If you're looking for a convenient and tasty bite after catching a movie, Taboonette is definitely worth checking out.

Every dish was full of authentic flavor and perfectly prepared--it quickly became our favorite spot in the city. In fact, we ended up dining here three times during our one-week vacation because we just couldn't stay away. The quality, consistency, and warm atmosphere made it feel like a home away from home. A special thank you to Moosa and Joel, the restaurant managers, for their generosity and outstanding hospitality. They truly made our experience even more memorable. We will definitely be back on our next trip!

The rice was probably the worst quality rice I've had at a Persian restaurant. The lamb was chewy and rubbery and lacked seasoning/flavor. The shirazi salad was really the only thing that tastes fresh and had good flavor. The bread was solid, too. Our service was basic, not what I would have expected at a higher end restaurant in NYC. Took forever to get our water and drink orders. Our apps took about 40 minutes to come out and our food followed about 30 seconds after. Hopefully it was just an off night for them.

The birthday coupons are what had brought me in every year, but even though they stopped during Covid, I still enjoy visiting. My go-to dish is the Iskender Kebab - delicious slices of lamb with tomato sauce and yogurt over baked pita bread. I also enjoy the combination platter with dips - the baba ghanoush is delicious. The atmosphere is classy but down-to-earth. The cocktails are tasty. The service can be slow, but it means we are never rushed out. The prices are mid-high, but commensurate with the quality of food. I recently came with a large group, including kids. Service was welcoming despite the chaos. Our bread was frequently replenished and our bottles of wine poured. On top of that, we were given tastes of dessert & liqueur - such a nice treat at the end of a long meal. I especially appreciated that the head guy alerted us that gratuity was already added to the check. We had such a great time, that we opted to tip more! I was happy that my group had such a positive experience, and surely will continue to return.

We could not have been happier with what we got for a place that we picked totally randomly. First of all, the place is popular and we did not have resos, but the staff were super nice and found us an open table that we could eat at as long as we put in our orders quick so they could get the table ready for a later reservation in an hour. Then the food itself arrived and was really delicious and well presented, just look at those kebab plates and dips! They also gave our group free baklava at the end I think just because they felt a little bad they had to rush us, which wasn't even their fault and was super appreciated. Also, the interior decoration is fantastic. The restaurant feels super classy and elegant. Great vibes for a date, a business dinner, or just a fancy dinner. Overall, easy 5 stars. Great food and amazing service. Oh and the wine was delicious too.
