Food: Taste explosion with every bite

Taboon Mediterranean has nailed the trifecta of food quality – taste, freshness, and portion size. The Hummus Plate is heralded for its creaminess, while the Lamb Skewers and Kefta Kabob Bowl are savored for their succulent tenderness and blend of fragrant spices. The portions are satiating, especially in terms of value when you consider the mouth-watering family meals and extensive tasting options. It's a symphony of flavors with an extensive choice that can cater to anyone's palate.

  • Large Portions

    Generous portions consistently mentioned, offering great value and satisfaction.

Vibe: Holds the charm, misses the buzz

Although neutral, the ambiance does not entirely disappoint with apt music, adequate lighting, and a setting suitable for date nights. The impressive and appreciated wine selection provides a subtle charm. However, what brings the vibe down is the odd and emotionless setup which lacks a welcoming atmosphere. It fails to live up to its decorative potential.

  • Great Drinks

    The wine selection at Taboon is truly impressive and widely appreciated.

  • Okay Ambiance

    Reviews note nice ambiance but no specific strong positive or negative points.

  • Bad Buzz

    Decor not brag-worthy; weird setup, lacking warm welcome feeling.

Perks: Boisterous noise but impeccable service

Visitors will have no trouble with parking as there’s enough street space. But be warned, conversations here may be an effort; the high ceilings create an overwhelming echo - it’s alluring to acousticians but daunting to diners. Despite this, Taboon shines in terms of service, accommodating large groups effortlessly, providing quick service, and being highly adaptable to dietary needs. It's a haven for families and those looking for healthy, diverse menu options.

  • Great For Groups

    Accommodates large groups well, with private rooms and attentive service.

  • Bad Outdoor

    Outside dining was a little loud from street noise, detracting comfort.
