    Food products

    There are many food products in this place! My eyes were drawn to so many products but what was nicest were the people who work here. They were caring, considerate, friendly and willing to help you. They gave you instructions on how to heat products, gave out samples of food and you really felt at home in this market. There's a small section with a bell that sells products pre-made such as Spanikopita, baklava and even falafel balls. Lots of package fresh cookies, nuts and dried fruit and a refrigerated section where you can get Tabouli, hummus and Moroccan eggplant salad. Lots of other products, pita bread and chips! I spied a counter where you can get some olives. At the time I came, they had sufganiyot. The Hanukkah doughnut in chocolate frosted with crème and one's that are filled with jelly. On special order were the mini doughnuts! I saw all of them boxed in containers but sadly all accounted for so there wasn't a box for me. I had to settle for the full-sized doughnut! No complaints here! Prices are reflecting today's inflation but splurging sometimes and helping local businesses exist is a very good thing!

    Fellow Yelpers have raved about Tavlin Market for years and now I see why. Tavlin may be small in stature but their well stocked shelves carry an impressive array of vegetarian Middle Eastern delicacies, dried fruits and nuts. Located on busy Merrick Road, one can easily park on the side of the building near Dunkin Donuts and they're open 6 days a week (closed Saturdays). When I entered the store I felt transported into an exotic fragrant bazaar of culinary delights. Many items are homemade by the friendly owners, and that shows in their quality and freshness. I perused the shelves for awhile and gathered an array of tempting items in my little cart. Loved everything I bought but among my personal faves: fig jam made with whole fruit (great for charcuterie); fantastic hummus with spicy chickpeas; creamy French feta cheese and fresh olives perfect for Greek salads; flaky borekas; savory spinach salad; vegetable barley soup; and a chocolate roll that owner Sarah advised me to microwave for 30 seconds to release its chocolatey goodness (that tip worked, thanks!). Also enjoyed the free sample of Turkish eggplant dip, will buy more of that next time. Hopefully my future visits to Tavlin will help me to eat cleaner and healthier in 2021 and beyond. Guess not all addictions are bad.....

    Tavlin Market was on my radar for years but not in an area I pass by often so I would forget to go there. Finally during this Covid epidemic I remembered to visit Tavlin. If you like mediterranean and middle eastern foods this is a place you must check out. Since they don't have a menu, it's a small operation run by a husband and wife, I checked out fellow yelper pics to place an order. I got Babagounoush, hummus, chickpea salad, pita bread and baklava. Sarah the owner was so nice and added a sample of the eggplant dish and a cookie when I picked up my order. The place is small but packed with all kinds of good stuff. They even have a small olive bar. Plenty of canned and jarred products. Coffee, cookies and pastries. But the best is the homemade items. I didn't even get to the Borekas, that will be for my next visit next week. I would also like try the Shakshuka, what a great name shakshuka. It's fun just saying the name. Check out Christina J pics, it looks soo good.

    Small borekas: mushroom/caramel used onion & vegetable.

    See all

    Ask the Community - Tavlin Market

    Are any borekas gluten free?

    Not that I know of

    Is Tavlin kosher?

    That's a good question... they are Shomer Shabbas, closed on Saturday for those reading this. I can't remember any dairy there... but I am not sure if they are kosher. Call and ask, they are very friendly.
