"They call it Middleterranean. The flavors are a blend of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines. The restaurant hit the mark with flavor, speed, and a comfortable feeling." - Visualized
"When you wake up on Saturday and realize you’d like shakshuka, know that you can order takeout and delivery from Taboonette (make sure to get an extra pita for dipping)." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, bryan kim, arden shore, matt tervooren
"Takeout is often disappointing. But takeout from Taboonette—where portions are large, and the tahini flows like tap water—is never disappointing. This Mediterranean spot near Union Square is where you can get a big portion of some very good chicken shawarma or salmon over brown rice for around $15." - team infatuation
"Taboonette is a tiny fast-casual Mediterranean spot that’s a great place to come by yourself after a workout. You can get some hummus, brown rice, and chicken shawarma, or you can go a little lighter with some salmon. This is also a classic example of a place that’s really only sort of healthy. The aforementioned chicken shawarma probably has enough calories to warrant a second workout, and the kale salad is maybe the oiliest we’ve ever had. In other words, it’s the best of both worlds." - bryan kim, hillary reinsberg, matt tervooren
"Taboonette is a little Middle Eastern/Mediterranean spot serving bowls and pitas. Not everything’s super healthy, but they do have grilled salmon as one of the available fillings, and they also make salads. You can eat well here, and there’s quite a bit of seating. And the food is really, really good." - hillary reinsberg
