Alisa J.

Food was pretty good. The shakshuka is served all day and was flavorful and hot. Good casual spot that's not crowded at all which is nice.

Falafel pita
Amy S.

Excellent falafel pita. So good that I came back for it again the next day. Got the side of eggplant and hummus - both were solid, but not needed. The falafel pita was filling and delicious on its own, though the schug hot sauce is a must. Ample space to enjoy the food there or take out. Friendly and fast service. Will definitely be back next time I'm in NY.

Shawarma and schnitzel
Jonghan L.

Delicious fast casual Mediterranean spot. Get the chicken shawarma and chick schnitzel. Very affordable

Sweet Potato Falafel Hummus Bowl (Vegan)
Ashwini A.

SERVICE - located near union square park - small interior with seatings at benches for groups or counter for solo diners - takeout popular - order at counter then find a table - can get crowded during popular times - ambiance good for casual meal MENU - customizable hummus bowls and plates - vegan/vegetarian options available - average price ($16 per entree) FOOD - sweet potato falafel hummus bowl (7/10): six pieces of falafel on top of creamy hummus with a side of pita bread. Just looking at the hummus, it is creamy and light without being gritty. I liked the addition of the chickpeas and tahini on top. The falafel were okay but did not have a strong sweet potato taste. The portion is generous and can be shared between 1-2 people. WOULD I GO BACK? Yes! It makes an easy takeout dinner that is relatively healthy and customizable.

Braised lamb Shawarma

Amazing tender shawarma. Very flavorful. I highly recommend this place. The place is clean and has a good vibe and very friendly staff.

Lamb Kebab (Kfte) Pan
Chris S.

Dropped by here for a quick bite for lunch during work. It's a bit busy but the line moves. Odds are a few of them are waiting for their togo order. I got the lamb kebab plate which comes with hummus and a salad. Nothing much to say except it's pretty solid. No complaints, nothing crazy, and the kebab is tender and flavorful. The salad is a nice cool and light complement. Also, it's quite a bit of food - I ate it across two meals. Quick and easy service. They make it fresh. Grab your lunch here

A fast casual place, delicious Mediterranean food!! There was no wait because it's more of a fast casual place, no need to wait for seats. Meat was tender and sauces were good! Got the lamb skewer plate and portion size was perfect.

Falafel Pan
Mosa H.

Solid mediterranean lunch spot. Quick service and the pan dishes are actually served in small frying pans! The falafel was pretty good but a little dry and crumbly. The cucumber salad could have used some dressing, too. The tahini was great and tied it all together.

Chicken Shawarma Pan
Ellen L.

This is one of the best fast casual spots I've been to in nyc. We tried two dishes on the menu and they were all generous portions. -Hummus bowl with kebab and eggplant: I love how they have so many topping options for the hummus bowls! We went with the kebab and eggplant and the eggplant part was my favorite. So soft and flavorful. It also comes with some slices of pita which was nice and the hummus was so smooth. -Chicken shawarma pan: The chicken shawarma pan was perfect for getting a taste of a bunch of different things in one dish. It came with chicken, hummus, chopped salad, pickles, and tahini. This one was my favorite of the two because the salad and pickles added a nice crunch and freshness to the dish. Overall, Taboonette was really good and I'm glad I tried this spot out. Our food came out quickly and they had seating inside. Everything we ordered was a big portion which was nice so we had enough leftovers for another snack/meal.

SABICH -The Eggplant Pita
Sharmila S.

In the mood for an early lunch, I stopped at Taboonette and tried the Sabich. In a pita. It was delicious, front loaded with all the salady bits, eventually giving way to soft velvety never ending layers of fried eggplant. Yum! The only problem with the pita is that you tend to eat things sequentially rather than altogether so next time I'm going to opt for the bowl version. It's a nice bright space and the counter service was pleasant. Can't wait to go back and try the cauliflower.

Marc K.

Great little spot for Mediterranean food served "fast food style" for both take out and limited seating. Place was consistently busy with both. Really enjoyed the chicken schnitzel pan (which is a metallic pan) with a decent portion of rice and Israeli salad and a fairly good size of chicken. All was delicious. Friend had the schwarma pan which didn't seem to offer as much meat but still enjoyed it. We sat at a small counter that sat 4 people. There are I think two or 3 community tables that could maybe sit 6 each tops.

Sweet potato falafel
Michelle L.

Amazing slow casual food. It has a good selection and the sweet potato falafel is crispy and addictive.

Aalok B.

Wow. Clearly they gave this lamb a deep tissue shiatsu massage before cookin that mf cause goddamn was it tender. The tahini carried a deep nutty, rich, intensity that melded with the soft morsels of lamb in a symphony of umami -- cut through by the sinisterly acidic bite of the pickle. The unsung hero of the meal tho? The small flakes of dill sprinkled throughout, which added a playful fresh bounciness to each bite. Oh and the rice -- oh the rice. Cooked to the perfect springy texture, almost like a starchy Temperpedic pillow for the soft lamb being hand delivered to my gullet (sans lullaby). Oh and before I forget the small cranberries sprinkled in the rice were b-b-b-BUSSIN --balanced the salty fattiness of the tahini forward bites perfectly -- like the most naughty PB&J of all time.

So thoughtful, and such a great touch to start the evening for us. We decided to order the family style menu and we enjoyed the whole dinner. All of the dishes on the menu were really good and great price for $74pp. I wish we had a 4th in our party so we couldve had the duck, but we'll definitely be returning to do so. The dips were so good and so fresh! I think all of the dishes were perfectly seasoned. I get sad when dishes are overly seasoned or overly salty. Oh, and im not much of a sweet tooth, but their dessert was marvelous and the sweetness was balanced so nicely.

Walking in, it's a stunning restaurant and on this night, not too crowded which made us wonder why they would seat us next to the servers station away from dozens of much nicer tables. Note that I booked through Open Table where I have Gold status which I thought meant you get a better table. Next fail, we wanted to start with a Mediterranean dip, but they only offer that if you go with a $39 tray with multiple dips. Not something a party of two would be able to east, so we skipped apps altogether. Sucks too, because several tables had it and it liked amazing, just too much for two. For dinner I had the Yemeni Au Police Kebab, Filet Mignon which was absolutely delicious. The peppercorn Hawaii really sweetened the meat's flavor. So high marks for the steak. My wife had two small dishes which she wasn't as thrilled with, Grilled Artichokes which were too dry for her liking and Manti, which she liked. Main takeaways. Very pricey, beautiful atmosphere (if you get a nice table) and maybe a place that's better for a group than a couple.
