For the main I have to recommend the Lamb Kebab platter, the meat was seasoned and cooked to perfection and the plate was very harmoniously put together. It's a small restaurant that also serves as a Turkish marketplace, the service was quick and attentive. Highly recommend if you're looking for delicious food at a reasonable price in a family owned restaurant!

Everytime I come to Taheni, I don't just appreciate the food, but the genuine smiles and warmth from each family memeber I receive. Support this business because they are a rare wholesome gem! They are always consisent with their food + service, which is very rare. This is coming from someone who hardly ever dines out as I am incredibly picky with food quality.

The outside of the falafel is crispy from start to finish, and it is served nice and hot. The cold, sweet hibiscus tea reminds me of sorrel, the Caribbean drink that is part of Christmas tradition, only that the hibiscus tea had less sugar and spice. Hibiscus tea is a Palestinian staple, said the young lady behind the counter who took my order. She also said that the restaurant makes Palestinian street food, and she encouraged me to come back and try other menu selections. This is a family-owned business that just opened up another location in Deer Park. If you like eating high quality Mediterranean comfort food, I highly recommend you try Taheni.

On one side is a market area fully stocked with all sorts of specialty ingredients. They have halal meat, imported spice blends and mixes, tea coffee and candy, and snacks and drinks that looked very intriguing. I got some grape leaves in brine, Turkish coffee beans, and some authentic turkish delight (lokum) with pistachios, pomegranate, and rose petals. On the other side is the restaurant/deli counter- where soups, dips, and salads are ladled out of big containers under a cold glass case, and grilled meat and doner kebabs are prepared. It was pretty empty when I went in, but they had a large seating area, so I assume it gets busy. Today for lunch, I picked up a large mezze platter to share with my family. For the three sides, I got hummus, babaganoush, and piyaz (a white bean, pepper, and onion salad). The hummus was absolutely perfect, smooth, creamy, garlicky, packed full of tahini goodness. I totally want to go back and try some drizzled over chicken or lamb! The babaganoush was nicely smoky and slightly tangy, and the piyaz was a great balance to these two creamy dips. I also got a side of their homemade dolma, which were really interesting, they're slightly sweet and stuffed with rice, carrots, and what tasted like cinnamon or nutmeg. They also included half a loaf of fresh warm bread with toasted sesame seeds on top as part of the mezze deal. And the best part was that all of this food only cost $22!!!!! Any time I'm in the area I'm stopping here to get my fix!!

Oh I hate it when a great place fails completely. This was one of our favorite Mediterranean…read moreplaces. Always fresh and delicious. Once or twice a month we would get take out or delivery. Not any more. We ordered our food for delivery. We ordered it at 3 for a 5:30 (ish) drop off. It arrived at 5:45 (not a problem at all). 3 major issues. 1) ALL of the hot food was ice cold. I mean refrigerated cold. Bread products hard as a rock and completely cold. This meant taking most items apart as they had hot and cold components, microwaving what is supposed to be got and the reassembling. I am guessing they filled the order at 3 and handed it to the delivery driver at 5:30 right out of the refrigerator. 2) An entire meal was missing. We didn't even have that many items. No one counts? No one checks? 3) One of the 2 desserts was burnt to the point of being inedible. The other was made completely correct. Of the 7 items in our order only 2 were good. One of the desserts and the cold appetizer (which was actually a little bit warmer than our "hot" food). Uber Eats gave me a full refund with no pushback, especially after the picture they asked for of the burned dessert. There are quite a few other places with an almost identical menu and similar (former) quality in my area. I will just go to them from now on. Sad. This was our go to.

We ordered a mixed appetizer plate and the items were just jumbled together. Everything tasted the same and no one knew what they were eating. The Greek salad was tiny with a too oily dressing. Despite being listed on the menu, there was no moussaka available. My veal souvlaki platter came with a single skewer containing only five or six small, dried out pieces of meat. The sides didn't help much - just some average tasting rice and a few slices of tomato and onion. Our server was perfect pleasant but overall the food quality felt below a diner standard while the prices were noticeably higher. For me there's no return visit.
