Mary, our server, made the experience even better--she was attentive, knowledgeable, and gave us great recommendations. Every dish she suggested was spot on and full of flavor. We ordered the family brunch and especially loved the lamb chops and the kafta--both were standouts and definitely something I'd come back for. We ended the meal with Turkish coffee, which paired perfectly with the Umm Ali and Knafeh and made for a memorable finish. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and a special way to celebrate with family. Looking forward to returning!

The whole restaurant is so easily accessible, it's an great option for a nice/healthy dinner on a busy day. I'll most definitely be returning to explore their lunchtime menu offerings. The main downside is that they're plating is a little smaller than competitors. I find that leftovers is one of the best parts of ordering Mediterranean.

The chicken was okay, but it felt like it was missing that taste and flavor you usually have when eating Mediterranean food. The rice was a little bit salty... The pita bread when microwaved was soft. Probably one of the softest pita needs I had thus far. The tzatziki sauce for the pita bread was really good and we used the leftovers by pairing it with some crackers so it's not a waste. (no pics)

Beware of all the upcharges they might charge you. Read your receipt! I feel like they are totally…read moretaking advantage! We ordered 2 plates of underwhelming overcooked lunch plates. Kafta Kabob was overcooked and dry. Chicken Kabob was very dry and tough. Salmon Kabobs were too well done but decent. Their garlic sauce only have a light hint of garlic flavor to it. The best part of the meal was the rice and hummus. We realized all the upcharges were added to our bill. We asked for an ONE extra pita bread, they charged $1.00. They only gave us 1 garlic sauce and I asked for another one because we ordered 2 plates. They charged me an extra 75 cents because one of these combo plates doesn't include garlic sauce. Uhm... ok. Apparently only 1 plate can have a garlic sauce. What kind of logic is that?! They both are Mediterranean plates with rice and hummus! 75 cents extra for a tiny garlic sauce. Custom charge of $3.00 was added to our $24 combo plates because I substitute the beef for another salmon Kabob. The other Kabob was a chicken. A takeout order, they charges 15 cents for a paper bag. Kafta Kebab plate $18.99 Mixed Grill Combo $23.99 Single pita bread $1.00 Custom Charge $3.00 Garlic Paste 0.75 PAPERBAG FEE 0.15 Credit card surcharge of 3% is added to the bill. The bill came out to be $55 for a takeout meal that's inside and behind a liquor store. All the highlighted upcharges on the receipt (see picture) that other restaurants does not charges. This is just taking advantage of your customer. Next time, I'll enjoy a nice sit down meal at a Mediterranean restaurant down the street with those prices. So underwhelming and disappointed. I know times are tough. I'm sure that $20 plus dollars you charge for a plate of food already made the business some profit already. It's tough for the customers as well, but taking advantage like this, I will never come back again which is too bad because my office is near and we would of made this our regular place to grab lunch. In honesty, it's not the extra few dollars that matter, it's the principle.

They offer flavorful and substantial menu items; however, as advised by friends, the preparation process can be relatively slow, with our two panini sandwiches and appetizer taking approximately thirty minutes to be ready for our pickup. Nonetheless, the quality of the food justified the wait. We ordered the House Specialty Hummus Trio, of which we have leftovers. All three varieties met our expectations, with the edamame hummus particularly standing out to me. Regarding the panini sandwiches (shared between two people) we had the Salmon Brie Panini and the Tofu Pesto Panini. The Salmon Brie Panini was enjoyable, though slightly fishy tasting. The Tofu Pesto Panini distinguished itself through its exceptional flavor, texture, and creativity. Overall, we were pleased with our experience and look forward to returning in the future.

We did that very thing, ordering three appetizers: hummus platter, garlic potatoes, and zahrah (cauliflower). It was all delicious and filling. Staff was amazing. We originally had a two-top table, but belatedly found we had a 3rd person coming. No sweat! They moved us without complaint, and they still got our food to us pronto! Nice seating booth inside and out. My only complaint: I ordered a salted yogurt drink, understanding it was made in-house. It ended up being a commercial variety, served in the bottle. But they promised that they would be making their own in the future. I should also note: Taboon is incredibly close to Fingerprints music (just around the corner). If you're there for an event, or just shopping, pop by before or after. You won't be disappointed!

Unfortunately, the babaganoush was clearly spoiled -- it had a sour/off taste that was definitely not normal. What made the experience worse was the response from the restaurant.

I'd probably come back for the food itself, but the handling of the issue left a bad impression.
