I actually discovered this spot on DoorDash one day and was blown away by both the quality and the portions. Since then, I've gone back several times, and it's been consistently delicious every single visit. My go-to order is the chicken kabob plate with their yellow biryani rice, hummus, and salad. The chicken is always perfectly grilled. It's tender and full of flavor. The rice is always soft and fluffy unlike some other spots. Everything tastes fresh and well-made. If you're looking for a reliable spot for flavorful Mediterranean food with generous portions, I definitely recommend giving them a try! read more

I have been wanting to try Taboon for the longest time and it did not disappoint! I got the chicken shawarma plate: it came with chicken, rice, hummus, and salad. Portion was HUGE - perfect amount for dinner and then to save for another meal. The garlic sauce and veggies given (red onion) tied everything together perfectly. Every bite was made up of perfection - I will 100% be coming back! read more

We highly recommend this Taboon express in Los Alamitos, California The employee KC was exceptional KC was incredibly accommodating and kind, and the great service perfectly matched the delicious food and spotless, well-kept restaurant. We will be back read more

I found this small Mediterranean spot, and the food is great! I've grown up around Middle Eastern families, so I've had a lot of authentic Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food over the years, and this place definitely tastes authentic, down to the rice. They're also very generous with the chicken, which I really appreciate. So many places skimp on the protein, but not here. read more

Taboon Mediterranean - Cute! - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Alamitos, California

Absolutely delicious and the food came out really fast. I ordered the falafel entree, which comes with 8 pieces on a bed of rice, a side salad, a pita bread, and a huge scoop of hummus. I also got a side of garlic sauce, which tasted amazing. It ended up being two meals for me, and I still had hummus left over! read more

I was craving some Mediterranean food and immediately typed it in on yelp and saw that I was not far from this particular spot upon arrival I was a little skeptical because of how small the facility was and I really wanted to dine in, but I'm actually happy I gave it a chance the workers were extremely nice made. You feel very comfortable very welcoming like I said the facility was small, but it was very clean and I like how you're able to see the kitchen. The menu has a wide selection. I end up getting the cauliflower and also the mixed plate and both were absolutely amazing 10 out of 10 so much flavor so much food that I was able to share. I would definitely go back and try some more items on their menu and I will definitely recommend this spot for my Mediterranean food lovers. read more

Just as great as their other location. Went with the kofta and the chicken kabobs with spicy hummus and the mediterranean salad. The meats were a little on the dry side but the seasoning and taste made up for it. Wish they gave more pita bread for the amount of hummus given. read more

Taboon Mediterranean - Chicken & Kofta Combo With Spicy Hummus (4 stars) - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Alamitos, California

I was craving for some lamb, so I Yelp'd this place on a whim and came with the kids after school. It's a small family owned shop with some seating and a kitchen area putting out the goods. The service was quick and friendly, but you're here to read about the food. ;) I ordered the Lamb Wrap, and it was everything I hoped for - plenty of lamb, cooked at a perfect medium-rare, with hummus, pickles, pickled turnips, tahini, and a mix of other spices and flavors. Exactly what I was looking for! My daughter got the same thing, but with chicken instead, and was beyond pleased. My son ordered the rice bowl - it comes with two different rices, pita, and many of the same items that came in our wrap, just deconstructed. It's a good sized bowl - the only gotcha was that while our wraps were full of meat, his rice bowl only came with 4 small chunks of beef which was a bit surprising so I shared some of my lamb with him and tried some of his rice - which was perfectly cooked and seasoned. In all we'll certainly be returning - I may pass on the rice bowl, but the wraps were a good vertex of price vs. amount, and the quality of the food is certainly worth it! :) read more

Taboon Mediterranean - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Alamitos, California

Walked in and immediately felt unwelcome. The older lady at the front just looked at me and waited for me to speak. I said, "I'm here to pick up my order" she points to my bag sitting on the counter and says, "its right there" That was it...nothing else. That was the encounter. Does customer service not matter anymore or was she not use to having black customers? If NO BLACKS ALLOWED--please place your signs like back in the 1950s! I should've just asked for a refund because I don't want to support any business that doesn't welcome all! read more

What a disappointment! As a vegetarian, I was excited for a nearby Mediterranean food outlet. .First time in, soon after their initial opening, I asked if the spicy hummus were mild or spicy? But when I got home and tasted it, it was so hot that even a heat lover like me couldn't eat it. I called and spoke to the woman who misled me and she couldn't care less. Didn't even offer to replace it.Even though everything else I purchased was delicious, I couldn't deal any longer with a business that gave such poor customer service. read more

So yummmmmmmy! This time we added a salmon kebab to the order for takeout and it was amazing. We enjoyed fattoush salad, hummus, baba ghanoush, and garlic sauce with grilled onions and tomatoes and pitas and two types of rice. The pitas are super thin and light. Order ahead of time and then pick up is fresh and quick! read more

First time for my wife and me at this quaint restaurant. The inside has four small tables for two and one outside on the side walk. They also have "bar" seating along one side of the wall. Order at their counter. The food was good. Chicken was tender, salad is salad, and rice my wife loved. I had dessert, their Ashta ice cream with Baklava. Oh my, so delicious. A tip, they add sweet syrup so let them know if you like the Baklava to be sweet, or mild, or none at all!! Bill our server was very polite! read more

Omg the best mediterranean ever the rice is so perfect and the chicken was so tender and juicy very much. Recommend this place very good.

Obsessed! I order here at least once a week and crave it every day. I don't have it my go to is a Greek salad with two chicken kebabs and hummus their hummus is to die for. Wish the prices were a bit lower! read more

Chicken was drier compared to other Mediterranean places I have gone to. Portion size was pretty good. Hummus was ok. Everything was okay tasting. Ordered pita chips on the side and barely got any. I prefer Panini Kabob or Kabob Crush still. read more

Food was delish! The Baba Ghanoush was smoky and flavorful. The Kefta Kebab was very cooked perfectly and whatever they wrapped it in was so moist and not dry at all. Pita was alright, not like some other restaurants I've been to. read more

Wow what an amazing experience! The food here is absolutely delicious and although I don't live close by I would definitely make the drive here just to savor the cuisine. The staff is very friendly and outgoing, and I would absolutely recommend trying this place out for good authentic Middle Eastern food read more

Taboon Mediterranean Express is officially my new go-to spot. Everything I tried was absolutely fantastic, from the flavors to the freshness. A special shoutout to Tina--her customer service was exceptional. Friendly, welcoming, and genuinely made the experience even better. Highly recommend the chicken kebab plate--perfectly cooked and seasoned--and don't skip the ashta ice cream. It was the ideal finish and unlike anything I've had elsewhere. If you're craving great Mediterranean food with excellent service, this place is a must. I'll definitely be back. read more

I had a great experience at Taboon Mediterranean. It's very cozy and welcoming, and my favorite restaurant in Los Alamitos. The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. Everything tasted authentic and perfectly seasoned. The kebab was cooked perfectly, tender, juicy, and full of flavor. You can tell the chef "Hares" really knows what he's doing. The cashier Linda was very nice and friendly, which made the whole experience even better, and the whole team is alwaywelcoming The quality of the food and the service really stand out. You must try this place Highly recommended read more

Lamb Kabab Bowl w/ Lamb Chop 9/10 - lamb medium/ rare done meat, not too chewy - Lamb hop was really tender - Rice was really delicious - A lot of flavor going on when you added all their sauces Lamb Kabab Wrap 1/5 - Lamb medium/ rare was too chewy, basically had to spit out the majority of the meat - Lacked flavor, very plain - No dipping sauces - lentil soup was pretty decent - Wrapped in a flower tortilla, I wish it was pita bread Zahrah ( Cauliflower) 10/10 - great seasoning - Taste very citrusy with some Parmesan cheese - Would recommend trying out this appetizer Falafels 10/10 - Authentically home made - can't go wrong with ordering these This is an updated review. I have gone to this place three times. The first two times my expectations weren't met. The third occasion I went the owner wanted to redeem himself so he asked me to come give them another try. I will say the third time I was not let down. The meat was done to my liking and I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. The customer service here is great, the cashier at the front desk is very kind and patient. The owner of the restaurant is very kind, you can tell he cares about his restaurant and his customers. This is their smaller location so it has a very intimate mom and pop feeling. read more

It was a huge hit and I brought hummus and garlic sauce home to prolong the enjoyment of the delicious flavors.

This was my son's chicken shawarma wrap. It was covered in oil. He ate half and couldn't eat one more bite. I have never seen oil in a shawarma wrap before. My daughter had the LAMB KABAB BOWL and it only had four small pieces of lamb. I have ordered from here before and it was ok but this time I am very disappointed and will not go back. This happened at the Los Alamitos location on 3/14/26. Order picked up around 630 pm. read more

Food is delicious and they have really worked with us to tailor catering packages to feed our high school boys soccer team. We love giving our boys a hardy meal the nights before a game and those boys can eat.

Always great quality food and today I called in my order about 10 minutes before they were scheduled to close. Thanks to the manager Mo for hooking me up with a birthday dinner for my son - okay it was for takeout but he's still getting celebrated tonight! Few tables inside and must cater more to the high school lunch crowd. Thanks for still taking my phone order, Mo! read more

Oh Taboon, I'm so happy I found your other location today. The chicken schwarma wrap was just as I remembered from your prior location. Ample tender chicken spiced beautifully, wrapped in a fresh tortilla with garlic sauce and pickles. I love this wrap. I couldn't help but eat the whole thing! I could bathe in the garlic sauce. I'm going to order extra, extra garlic sauce next time. read more

I am no expert in Med Food, but have had my share. I ordered a family meal and the portions were more than enough for 5-6. I will say the garlic, hummus, baba ganoush were some of the best I have ever had. The 3 protein entree platter were also very good. I would not recommend that you eat in, as there are only a few seats and it seems as though they market to the take out crowd. read more

We both had the Kosta Kabab entree. It was fabulous, including the home made humus. A full meal, it was taste well prepared and presented and had a variety of tastes. We encourage anyone to try it and enjoy it. We ate in but take out is a specialty. read more

The food was ok, but the lamb in the wrap was in such large chucks and they were kind of tough. I felt like I would choke on it. When I took my leftovers home I had to cut it several times to make it manageable to eat. They just need to cut it smaller. read more

I ordered a combo plate and ice cream. The meal started on a positive note as the combo plate was very good, I got chicken, steak and vegetables and everything on the plate was delicious. However i ended the meal with a terrible experience, the ice cream (pistachio) was not edible it was extremely frost bitten and gummy texture, i believe it was very old and likely expired. The extent of the frostbite indicated it was old and passed its fresh date. I literally had to spit the ice cream out. They really should not have served that to their customers, I would rather they told me they were out or offer a different flavor than send me with this ice cream. Waste of money and soured the otherwise pleasant experience I had. This was my first time trying this place. I visited the one in Los Alamitos ordered to go. If it weren't for the terrible ice cream I would have given 5 stars read more

Very nice service, however, the food was terrible. The wrap consisted of chopped beef with sprinkles of mozzarella in a quesadilla tortilla, drowning in olive oil. They were so sweet, I felt sorry for them. I cannot afford to waste money on terrible food. read more
