The side of hummus was large and smooth, and the chicken shawarma wrap I got had a nice garlic flavor and it was stuffed with chicken.

Upon arriving, I was pleasantly greeted by a gentleman at the counter. I placed my order, which was the chicken kabob entree, meat pie and water, and took a seat. I had my pick since I was the only customer at that time. The vibe was quaint and quiet, with music playing from their culture. Shortly after I sat down, the meat pie was brought out along with something like a toasted naan I think. The meat pie was really, really good. The irony is that I ordered it after reading another Yelper stating how good it was. I don't even know what type of meat it was. Lol! My entree came out looking just like the photos I had seen online. The tomato, cucumber and onion salad was very flavorful and fresh and I almost want to try my hand at making it at home....its just that good. The chicken was moist, tender and marinated well. Everything was freshly prepared and hot when I received it and I could tell it was made with love. I had enough food to take half to work for lunch tomorrow. My total was around $27.00 and it was worth every penny. I'm on a quest to try out all of the Mediterranean and Persian restaurants in the area. Taboon Noon o Kabab is right up there as one of the best. Try them out...your taste buds will thank you. Happy eating!

Decided to try Taboon Noon O Kabab for lunch. The restaurant was empty when we went, which made me…read morewonder about how much turnover they get on fresh ingredients. For example, the cucumber and tomato salad wasn't as fresh as it could have been. That said, the main dish was good overall. The koobideh kebab had nice flavor, the rice was fluffy with a bit of saffron for color, and the grilled tomatoes were a nice touch. The plate also came with onions sprinkled with sumac, pickles, hummus (also sprinkled with sumac), and warm flatbread on the side. Everything was presented well and the portions were decent. Prices were around $15 for an entrée without a drink, which felt a little on the higher side for a casual lunch spot. Overall: tasty food, but freshness and value could be improved. I wish I option to give 3.5 but, sadly, can't really get to 4 for this one.

We ended up sharing the chicken shawarma wrap with a side of falafel and the cost was $21, but there was a good quantity of food. Definitely get the pickles on the wrap or whatever it is you order from here. They are apparently Egyptian pickles and add something magical. I'm not usually one for pickles, but trust me on this! The falafel were shaped like donuts and not like any I've ever had before. They are a little mushier but I was fine with the texture. The outside was extra crispy. Loved that. The spicy tahini was especially good and not very spicy for me but too much for my daughter. The restaurant itself needs a good scrub from top to bottom but it isn't enough of a red flag that I wouldn't go back tomorrow. There's meat on an open spit, so I imagine it's hard to keep a layer of grease off every surface. We will definitely be back!
