Tried hummus with chips (excellent), salmon plate with brown rice and salad and pork brisket with rice and salad. Overall food was decent. The service here is an issue though, rude and inattentive, couldn't answer any question and the face expression alone would make you want to not come back. I don't know how any business in NY can afford to hire a person who doesn't know the basics of good customer service. Good potential overall, just needs friendly staff. read more

I can't stop thinking about their perfect pulled pork sandwich.. everything about it was so good..from the WW wrap, the the FAT CHUNK free tender pork, to the amazing slaw and the spicy green salsa.... can't wait to have it again... only negative is that their kebab pita meat content was minimal : / read more

Great lunch just off Union Square on University. Food tastes extremely fresh, service is fast, and the price is reasonable. Cuisine is lighter Middle Eastern fare and well executed on. Good for take-out or to sit down for a quick bite. Tables are picnic style, and they'll give you your food in a frying pan. read more

Quick, fresh, and most importantly, flavor in my face, big time. It's hard to refuse pulled pork, and I'm glad this personal flaw has yielded me so many delicious meals. It's hefty, filling, sweet and tangy, and the sweet cole slaw offset the BBQ sauce very nicely. The pita was kinda soggy for my taste, but I'm not gonna complain. It was still dope. Oh and the chips! The house made chips?! Who does that? They gave me herb filled crunchiness. I gave them a home in my stomach. Nice work, everyone. read more

LOVED IT! I went for lunch on a week day. It was pretty busy and there were no places to sit, but Union Square is so close. It was nice to eat there! The food was so delicious. Just thinking about it makes me want to go back badly. I had the kale warm salad (veganlicious)! I highly recommend to try it. My friend had the chicken and she loved it also. Everything was so fresh and tasty. The staff was also super nice, even if they were really busy. read more

Amazing hummus bowls! Probably similar in quality to Taim, which is nearby in the west village. Also recommend you get the mint lemonade! read more

Great choice if you want a healthy (or not) meal .. I'm a fan of these types of places where you get a lot of control over what goes in your plate. If I were to live or work close by here, I could see this being my go-to place. I've had the salmon plate with brown rice - very tasty, salmon was slightly more cooked to my liking, but it wasn't overcooked. The seasoning on the brown rice almost made me doubt its supposed healthiness ... it seemed more like fried rice to me, but I wasn't complaining. I really like the hot sauce, but the food was also great without. Second time, I got the salmon and egg pita just as the place was closing. It was perfect for an on-the-go meal, and I enjoyed every bite. The employees at Taboonette are so friendly and helpful. One of them told me that she really likes the Kruveet plate, so I will definitely try that next time! read more

Nostalgically AMAZING!!! This hidden gem offers THE GREATEST Meat ever produced in the country if not the world .. their Hummus is filled with the Tahini flavor that mixes perfectly well with the Falafel, the lamb and the pita bread chips .. my family are coming soon and I'm definitely taking them to taste the original Arabic food of Taboonette read more

I love this place, it's convenient that u can just order to go or dine in and has great food! Getting to go is super convenient when you are in a hurry. It's like a Mediterranean chipotle to me personally, I especially love their Lamb Shawarma, it's for me the best food item on their menu, it gives a generous amount of meat compared to other food items on their menu like the (kebab) which is also good but has more vegetables and (2 singular meat). Depends on if you like vegetables or meat, I personally like meat better, but overall this place doesn't disappoint me! read more

The food is bomb! I had the salmon and it was grilled beautifully and full of flavor. The hummus was also amazing! --ordered it with pita bread but maybe next time i'll go with the chips since it's not nearly enough for the hummus. The only negative is that my friend and I ordered together (her before me actually) yet I got my food a whole 20 minutes before her and we ordered the same exact thing. But def check this place out if you are into Mediterranean food! read more

Delicious! I had the lamb plate, the tzatziki and the hummus with pita bread. Everything was delicious I recommend it if you love mediterranean food. read more

I had been meaning to try this place after reading several reviews on the usual food blog suspects Serious Eats and Eater particularly for their breakfast sandwiches. I tried the Steak and Egg in a pita and holy tastebuds it was phenomenal. I thought I would have been more adventurous and tried the more traditional sandwiches but steak sounded so good this morning. The pieces of steak were juicy and tender but the highlight of the pita was the toppings and sauce (white sauce?). There were so many flavors going on besides the steak including the light cucumber salad, warm pita, gooey egg and of course the amazing sauce. Highly recommend trying. My friend had the salmon plate which comes with a rice pilaf and salad that was equally good but I think mine was the winner this morning. Will be back! read more

You can taste the fresh ingredients immediately which makes it a preferred alternative to the street food. All the authentic flavors without the leaking oil, grease and monotonous taste from meat on a spit. Quite enamored with the rustic modern interior. Helps settle and slow things down for a cozy lunch in between a hectic workday. read more

One of my default spots because the food is consistently good and healthy, the atmosphere is low maintenance but artfully crafted, and the staff is friendly. It feels a little fast food-y, so it's not for a serious date, BUT if you want to take someone special without too much pretense, it's a good choice. There are plenty of options for different taste buds--pulled pork, brisket, salmon, falafel--and it's all perfectly seasoned (never too salty or spicy) balanced with carbs, greens, and tasty sauces. I'll recommend this spot when a girlfriend and I finally have some time to catch up, so we want to eat tasty food that's quick, but not feel rushed. The coffee is bueno and the music is good--current, soulful, musical, not the top 40. read more

This place was cute. It was very modern rustic inside. The food is served in small pans. I really liked the food. It was flavorful and tender. I ordered the pulled pork platter that came with an apple salad. At first I thought it was small but it was surprisingly very filling and tasted delicious. It was $12. I wished there was more though. read more

Great lunch spot for a refreshing meal. The service was very quick and friendly. Plenty of seating inside and the Pitas can easily be eaten in Union Square. The Salmon Pita was delicious with just the right balance of salad to salmon and not too much tzaziki. It is also reasonably priced. read more

It used to be difficult to find food options in this area, but I see it has gotten better, thankfully. I was in the area and wanted something good, inexpensive and light. I love Mediterranean food so when this came up in my search and with great reviews, I figured it was worth a try. I went in around noon on a Saturday and there were only a couple of people seated. It is a nice, small restaurant and very clean. I had the chicken shawarma, brown rice, salad and the Calamansi lime drink. It was light, delicious and better than I expected. I'd be happy to return when in the area again. Oh, also, the cashier was very professional and polite. It's always important to me to highlight good customer service. read more

Falafel platter was pretty good. Crispy and flavorful falafels, yellow rice was decent, the veggies could use some more flavors though. Seating is very limited and not good for groups. read more

This place is bright and clean. You can sit at communal tables or a high bar. Pork sandwich-a bit salty, but the pita and slaw were yummy. My friend and I shared the potato chips and dip. It was super fresh and delicious. Would definitely go back if I was in the area. read more

An amazing hole in the wall Mediterranean food. It's casual dining but not quite fast food. Every dinner menu range around $10-$15. We tried kebab, brisket and cauliflower steak plate and was pleasantly surprised by the cauliflower dish! A must try in union square!! read more

I saw take out a friend got from here & decided to give it a try. I can now verify that the food tastes as good as it looks. The environment is clean & fresh & staff very friendly & service fast. Everything looks yummy. I like that they offer a bit more than the standard middle eastern fare. I ordered falafel & shishito pepper special. Both delicious! The cookies look amazing and I must try the Halumi salad & brisket. I think taboonette will be a new favorite :-) I'll definitely be back...and back...and back again. read more

High quality food in a fast casual setting. Service was really quick and you could see everything being prepared. I got the Kruveet, which was incredible. I would say the hummus was a bit too creamy (tasted a lot like the tahini) and it seems silly that you pay extra for pita, but otherwise a great experience. read more

I ordered the chicken shwarma which was okay, (I've had better) and the watermelon juice which was basically water with watermelon flavored syrup and baaddd. read more

Ordered a delivery via seamless, delivery came 2 hours late, cold and wrong order. Won't make that mistake again. read more

Was not very satisfied with food, atmosphere, or attention. Atmosphere 2/5 - For starters, I'd like to point out that the venue itself is pretty small. The seating area is clean and put together nicely but, from the moment you walk in, you can see a cluttered room in the back full of boxes and supplies. Not very appealing! I don't really understand why there couldn't be a wall up. Food 3/5- No iced teas were prepared, so the only options were lemonade and what ever was in the fridge. The food itself was good, but they didn't do the best job at seasoning the food. read more

Been picky about my takeout these days given the fact I assist a number of high risk folks. Dismayed by how few places manage to follow even the most basic health code guidelines. More often than not I walk away from restaurants when staff aren't wearing masks or wearing them below their noses or other ill advised practices given the pandemic. Was so impressed tonight. Not only were the staff all properly geared up (the woman who brought my bag out even had gloves on) they were so friendly and helpful. Hummus delicious as always. Appreciate the compostable utensils. A+. Thanks for caring for your customers. read more

Great food (and big portions) and very nice, hospitable people working behind the counter! Definitely recommend.

There's a reason I eat here 4 days / week. The salmon & egg breakfast pita. Good at any time of day and at $6.53, it's the best deal in the area! Nicole is awesome and always in great spirits. Eat-in if it's not too busy and get free home-made chips. Oh, and that ice cream is ridic. read more

I ordered the veggie pan which was delicious, I've never had anything like it. You're going to spend about $30 per couple even though it's a casual spot, but it's definitely worth trying. Even writing this review makes me want to go back. read more
