It can be a really busy, bustling place, for good reasons: food is amazing (nothing around here like it) and there are dishes set on fire at your table! It is definitely an experience and everything I've ordered is delicious. Love anything lamb! read more

Love their food! Freshly made, healthy, delicious. Particularly love their roasted cauliflower w tahini and their chicken shawarma sandwiches loaded w extra garlic sauce and onions! Oh yeah! Their carrot cake is pretty darned good too. Get some take out! Don't eat that can of soup in the pantry yet. read more

Taboon - Taboon of GB has the best Chicken shawarma sandwiches. Love their garlic sauce and bread! - Middle Eastern Near Me - Grand Blanc Township, Michigan

SO! Preface this by saying this has been a favorite restaurant of my family for a long time. The quality of the food has gone down so much in the last year it's crazy. I get times are hard and Alex has two buildings at the moment, but they are literally throwing gristle scraps in their soups. This is my favorite soup and order it every time I go. (Mostly to go orders) The last two times, I have been so grossed out by the film of grease on the top and all of these floating white pieces. ITS all fat. This is how much there was in one single bowl (and I did stir it up before dishing it out) every single piece of meat was 80% fat, and tons of lovely floater pieces on the top. Hopefully once they move and get settled they can actually be able to afford to put edible meat in their soup. read more

Decent food but they charge $1.75 for a tiny cup of garlic sauce. I spend $40+ on shawarmas and now I have to pay $1.75 for one tiny cup of garlic sauce?? This place is nuts. Garlic sauce is the key ingredient in shawarmas and Mediterranean food in general. The blonde girl at the front told its free for customers who sit and eat in but not for carry out orders apparently. The sandwich itself was pretty good but if I have to pay extra for garlic sauce (something that's free at all other Mediterranean restaurants) then I don't plan to return here. read more

Ordered a meal and appetizer. Was told 25 mins. Picked up 20 mins was already done. Then the bread that comes with the appetizer was not in order was told to wait a couple mins. 8 mins later bread was done. Food is now cold. Talked to Manager/Owner says food is fine just reheat it..... I said that's not what should be going on here. He then says wait my friend I give you 20% off next order instead of correcting this and then hangs up phone. Worst service I've ever seen. You should be closed down or sold to someone that cares about the business. Over priced and not caring for customers. Pathetic. read more

It's my favorite restaurant as you can see in my previous review. Today got an entree of chicken ghallaba and a fattoush salad. The salad had no onions in it. Which takes away from the taste. The lettuce also was not fresh. Alot of brown spot on the lettuce. I always get the same entree. The seasoning in the chicken ghallaba is starting to taste different which is disappointing. The last time i came which was about a week ago i had the same problem. Maybe there is a different cook. He is definitely not putting one ingredient that has always been in there. It taste very bland now. There was also hardly any vegetables. I'm not excited about going back again will not drive and waste my gas. The worst part about it is I found a piece of dark straight short hair in my food and then I had to stop eating. The pita bread was safe read more

This place was perfect. Great food and service. And was able to accommodate 30 people after my uncles funeral. Thank you.

Let me start off by saying that I absolutely love the food here. I would have given the restaurant five stars had I not seen the person that just cooked my food dripping with sweat and smoking. The chicken, hummus, falafel, Fattoush, garlic are all amazing. I did find a long blond hair in my food as well.. read more

Taboon - Sweaty cook smoking right outside the front of the restaurant. - Middle Eastern Near Me - Grand Blanc Township, Michigan

I love Middle Eastern food. This should be my favorite place in Grand Blanc, but it always disappoints me. There are better places that will fulfill my cravings and I am willing to drive farther for better. The food here for me has been okay at best, and portions and service are seldom up to my expectations. Salty majadra, dry rice, brown salad. I had a falafel platter served with two small pieces that I though was one piece cut in half. I even had salmon once that was unapologetically serve extra crispy and very dry. I hope the best for their move to the new location. But I will wait, and then wait some more. Watching for 4 and 5 star ratings. Not just from the one time out-of-towners, but the local folks who keep coming back. Even then if I do return I will likely not convince my family to join me. read more

Amazing service and food! Especially the chicken shawarma and hummus. The restaurant was super cute inside with a nice bar!

Great new location! Fresh ingredients make healthy and delicious food. Excellent service. read more

I'm a big fan of Lebanese food but the portions sizes are way to small if I asked foe a large portion of tabouli don't fill the take out half way and charge the full dish I wasn't happy read more

The food is good but portions have been reduced a lot over the past couple of years. The prices have gone up while the portions have been reduced, not something I am willing to frequent. read more

Taboos has great food and friendly servers. This place is definitely one of our regular go-to places!

Love, Love, Love us some Taboon. We have never had one complaint about this establishment. Love the new location. It's always so clean and service is always Great!! The owner is so friendly and always comes by the tables to say hello. Highly recommended!! The Chicken Chops and rice are so, so good & I love the stuffed grape leaves. Just give it a try and don't forget the dinner rolls with the garlic spread!! read more

Ordered the baked kibbee which was almost tasteless n partially burned, the chicken shwarma was decent although unbalanced as a bit too much lemon was used an the tabboulee which was good. The pocket bread was warm n good, the little salads were fine. This was a take out and the person answering was nice. read more

Homemade pita, fantastic hummus and fattoush salad! Run and don't stop! Fantastic Mediterranean food!

Giving this place a three star review as they removed my one star review. I left my one star a couple of years ago and was recently told that businesses can remove it if it's less than 3 stars which apparently is true. So have fun trying to delete this one. Stay away from this place folks. Horribly long wait and the person who calls himself the "business manager" is a joke. It's too bad that customers have to put up with sub par service and rude staff. read more

One of my favorite Mediterranean restaurants. Food is amazing and service is always quick and great.

I didn't eat here because I waited a realllllly long time for a host at the host stand, that didn't ever arrive. But while I was waiting I noticed some things: The place was extremely dirty with black mold on the floors and clear lack of owner caring. I thought the other reviews at first were harsh but then saw it for myself. Don't eat here it's really disgusting outside and inside. And I'm still hungry. I hope they change it up read more

We just had dinner at the brand new location in Grand Blanc and wow! It is so nice! Great style,crisp and clean colors and aesthetic. The staff was fanatic and the manager or owner (not sure which he was) was so friendly and funny. They have a beautiful side room with a long table that can be requested ( for FREE!) for a dinner party. And they have seating in the front of the restaurant and a ton of seating in the back. The whole back space can also be reserved for a large party for FREE! I was very Impressed by everything and of course my Fattosh salad was amazing as was my deboned chicken,pilaf and grilled veg. Free garlic paste and fresh pita was served as soon as we were seated and was filled up when we were done with our first basket. read more

3 insects in my food. Terrible place. If your not Arabic. Customer service is super rude. Didn't give me a side on purpose because I asked "too many questions" about my order. Not going there isn't enough of a punishment. They must be exploited. Don't wear gloves or wash hands when they make food either. But don't take my word for it. Go in and find out. If your not Chaldean. Don't bother coming to this place. RUDEST STAFF in history of restaurants. read more

Best middle eastern in mid Michigan for sure! Everything is large portions and is very fresh. I have never gotten a bad meal here or had a bad experience. We have been here too many times to count. I haven't been here in a few months but I'm sure it is great as always. read more

My aunt was Lebanese and I loved her cooking. This place is as authentic as my aunt Marcelle's cooking. Portions are generous customer service is top notch read more

Open 8 years looks like a start up that just opened! Why ? Clearly the owner or boss who's walking around in a dirty white apron serving tables no way !! No need. Plus staff isn't happy clearly we know why ie the boss. The food is what is expected at Taboon since there are several, it could be a gem as nothing like it in the area. Solution keep the boss smiling and seating people with out the apron. Tell the staff to get happy and stop prodding each other. Amazingly everyone might have a good time even the customers Shizam !!! Review edit: after post now waiting 20 minutes for bill and to go as waitress is occupied correcting an incorrect to go order of course she would be waiting tables and doing to go orders lol why not !! This is literally the Gilligan's Island of restaurants with no Skipper !! Minus 1 Star read more

Service was ok. Food was good. Loved the salads, bread and garlic sauce. Falafel was crispy and soft inside. I'll be back!

Horrible customer service. Very rude and disrespectful. Received the incorrect pickup order and didn't notice until I was at home which is 30 minutes away. I called to let them know and was told it was my fault that they took down the incorrect name. Then he told me to drive it back and when I told him I could not he then said I should be happy to have received the food I did because it was worth more than what I had ordered which was not true. I then called the man an a-hole and hung up. My wife called back a few minutes later to see if she could rectify the situation and he told her that she should be ashamed of her husband and then he hung up on us. This was some of the worst customer service I have ever received. We will be charging the purchase back. read more

Great ethnic flavor, love it! Deboned chicken, so tender and juicy. I can see this place becoming a regular stop, pandemic or no pandemic! I will be exploring the menu. read more

Taboon has the best Middle Eastern food in the Grand Blanc area, I highly recommend them!

This is the best place to eat in Grand Blanc. Everything is amazing and service is too!

Amazing. Everything about taboon is very good. There shawarma bites are to die for. The bread and hummus is amazing. Staff is great. Alex the owner is very active and nice. I would definitely recommend. read more

I was a little skeptical on this with mixed reviews but I thought it was delicious! I had the chicken schwarma wrap and my bf had the plate. The wrap was awesome. So happy to have good Mediterranean in town. read more

It's a hit or miss with this restaurant as far as service goes. Some of the waitstaff will go above a beyond the call of duty and a few of them are just awful. The food is almost always 99.9% outstanding but it's the poor servers that knock it down to a 3 otherwise I'd give it a 5 . Get rid of the bad waitstaff and your customers would enjoy your restaurant a whole lot better...... Keep the waiter he's awesome!!!! read more

I love love love this place! Their food is absolutely mouthwatering and I love how quickly it's prepared! Their bread is made fresh all day and is my favorite pita! Their garlic paste is delicious and their Schwarma is my FAVORITE! A must try!! read more

We live far away in a place with NO Middle Eastern dining (can you imagine?) and CRAVE this place! Frequently our first stop when in town. Toum and bread are always excellent. I usually get either the hummus and chicken or the shish tawook sandwich with rice - both great choices. The lemonade is also amazing. Staff is young and not super-attentive, but I am just there for the food which is top-notch! read more

This is my 4th time coming here for lunch and I honestly wish I lived right next to this place. The food has some serious flavor and the staff is friendly. Being middle eastern, I'm pretty strict on my Arab food... and this has me wanting more and more. Great prices as well. read more

The only thing that kept me from giving this restaurant ONE star was the courteous service.. This is my second experience with this restaurant and no fault of the restaurant, the food selections are just not my cup of tea. I ordered a greek salad which I thought would be pretty safe. The ingredients were all fresh but alas I did not like the dressing which is the key to a great Greek salad. I loved the bread but was also not fond of either of the dipping choices for the bread. I am certain that others are way more familiar with good middle eastern food. Im guessing that if I lived over there I would weigh far less than I do presently lol read more

This place provides one of the best values in terms of portion size for price. The chicken shawarma is delicious and I have enough left overs for 2-3 more meals! The hummus is very fresh and unlimited hot, soft bread makes for a great appetizer. I've only been here a handful of times but am looking forward to trying more of their menu items in the future. read more

My food is always great and prepared exactly how I order it! I highly recommend requesting Morgan G, as a server if she is working at the time, you will receive the absolutely best service and hospitality. read more

The food here is always fantastic and is only outdone by the service. The owner is always present and the entire staff is very friendly. I usually have the Taboon tawook combo and the chicken is super moist and veggies and rice are great. Numerous great dishes at a good price and the food is plentiful. I've become a regular!!! read more
