The deli is the main attraction, and we got a couple sandwiches. I got a reuben, their leanest cut, and it was really good. There was so much meat--too much for me, but it is super filling. They also have a bakery, though I didn't pick anything up from there. There's lots of soups, too, which I'll probably pick up if I visit again. There are some specialty foods, and they have some tables both in and outside if you'd like to stay a while.

It's a kosher restaurant with sushi as well. We got the BBQ Brisket Flatbread, The Mac Crispy Sandwich + Fries, and The Nashville Crispy Sandwich + Sweet Potato Fries.

Service was friendly and the seating area is in a separate room. They have a Paris type of aesthetic.

Took 30 minutes to get our salads and the entries took another 20 minutes. Okay, the beet salad with balsamic dressing was very good. The Caesar was standard, it was fine.

Not a bad looking place but trying to understand how they were out of two pasta dishes, the most interesting on the menu by 6:30pm, pretty early that night....wont likely be back.

I want to give Taboun Grill 5 Stars - But, I would be telling the truth and that just isn't right for this Tzadik/Mensch. We enjoyed our meal and particularly enjoyed the appetizers. My Goyish friend - who considers himself Israeli commented that the Hummus was watery. I have to agree with him! ;-) - Service - from our Wonderful/Beautiful Romanian Waitress was on point; - Our water was always kept topped off and the Kitchen ran efficiently and expeditiously to deliver the food to the tables in a timely fashion; - Restaurant was busy - not mobbed; - which is a good thing. Interesting take on the Laffa - I enjoyed my meal and left with a full belly. Highlight of the Restaurant was the incredibly Judaica artwork that adorns the walls. I hope they are selling these pieces - because they were gorgeous - just lovely. You definitely felt like you were in an Israeli/Middle Eastern Restaurant - Tables were comfortable and you didn't feel crammed inside - like you would at Grill Point; But - this wasn't Grill Point (Kew Garden Hills, Queens) - Lots of Yentahs and Mitzvah boys. Enjoyed it and would definitely recommend. Enjoyable meal with great food! Price was reasonable for a Kosher Restaurant.

No one to tell you what todo. So we followed folks to the counter and after asking got a menu and sat down. Lots of regulars at this place. Seemed like they aged in place. The food is just okay. I had the burger baby a half lb. of beef. A huge sandwich with everything but flavor. hunh the texture of the beef was a little off. The onion rings were crispy but also missing the onion flavor. Wife had the jumbo dog with curly fries. A huge dog again just okay. Hermes would have been a better choice. A huge disappointment. Staff weren't unfriendly just unengaged. They all seemed bored. The prices were high. $40+ for the food and drink.

Following my experience with Ken's Diner & Grill, I discovered Sarah's Brick Oven listed within the…read more'People also viewed' section of its yelp page. Out of several other restaurants listed, Sarah's was the only one that captured my interest, plus it was a restaurant that I had not visited before in Skokie. Sarah's Brick Oven itself is linked to Sarah's Tent, a market for kosher products that is located where Oakton St connects with N Crawford Ave in Skokie. And in spite of it being linked to Sarah's Tent, there is an acceptable number of parking spots available. After entering and having plenty of time to look at the menu above the counter, and even on the laminated menu, I was acknowledged shortly after the customer ahead of me had finished ordering. I took an interest in the impossible burger after contemplating between the truffle mac & pizza, and the norma jean burger after I noticed that the impossible burger came with barbecue, onion rings, and served on a pretzel bun! And it was completed within a reasonable timeframe. I opted out of dine-in, choosing to take my order to go because I had errands I needed to complete, plus I did not want to be in the area long. Moreover, the restaurant appeared clean, and the atmosphere gave off a very relaxed vibe. There were a number of tables with seats inside of the dining area, and I must say that I adored the interior, and the ceiling decoration which gave off sukkot vibes. As for the food, other than my jaw popping because I had to open my mouth wide to take a bite of that stacked impossible burger, I enjoyed the satisfying taste of it once I had gotten settled in for the evening. It was delicious! And I most definitely recommend it if you are having trouble identifying something to try on the menu at Sarah's. Being that I had a good experience, I would gladly re-visit Sarah's Brick Oven again whenever in the Skokie area. Or maybe I will just make a visit solely for it, tehehe.

The menu is complete with options for just about anyone, and we tried a little of everything! The Grazing Platter is an excellent place to start, and the Carpaccio with Arugula is spectacular.

And the restaurant is well decorated and comfortable. Definitely worth the drive from downtown, and I will be recommending Shallots to anyone who keeps Kosher, along with anyone that desires a tremendous dining experience! Well done!!!

When we were preparing to leave I asked for the check. I was shocked to find a 20% service charge added to our bill. This was a lunch for 2. I questioned the charge and was told this is standard as it covers the cost of the kitchen and support staff. I responded that the prices on the menu should cover the cost of the staff. After an unfriendly debate the charge was removed. In my opinion this practice is insulting to your customers. Adjust your pricing to cover your costs of doing business. Don't abuse your customers by adding in hidden uncalled for fees. I will not be returning.

While waiting for our food, people dining in had orders burgers and it look very good and tones of fries. When we went home, we kept raving how much the food tastes so good especially the brisket. It was perfectly tender, meaty, with the fat and meat ratio just right, and not oily at all. Anyways, so happy this restaurant is close by that has fantastic BBQ and many other food options too.
