Reviews for Taboonette in New York, NY
After visiting the nearby Union Square Farmer's Market, we Googled a place to eat and found Taboonette. The menu read enticing... so we gave it a try. I ordered the Lamb Kebab pan. The Lamb was crusty on the outside but rare on the inside and the Eggplantwas very mushy. Both could have been seasoned better and were bland. Neither the side of Falafel nor the pan come with thestandard Tzatziki sauce so I paid the upcharge of $2.50, wow, and it wasn't really true Tzatziki - no olive oil, no garlic, nodill, mint, or parsley - just thick yogurt and some shredded cucumber. My wife ordered the Eggplant pan and reported that ittoo, was bland. Neither pan comes with a pita, wow. I like to eat at places that feel like a good value, but I didn't get thatfrom today's lunch at almost $50!, wow. The highlight of the meal was the mint lemonade. Lots of wows though... Read more
This is a no frills and casual Mediterranean experience why union square. You don?t go here just for the place. You go here if... after an appointment or errand and you want something yummy and light. The crispy chicken schnitzel is bomb. Overall good times.Nitpicky here but missing star for subpar chips. Go with the bestie after a nail appointment or haircut. Enjoy! Read more
Been wanted to try this place for a long time. Enjoyed the pan entree a lot. Got the sauted mushroom with avocado and a labne... on the side. It was very filling. The yellow rice vermicelli was yummy with tumeric. We also had the falafel (square shape) andpotato chips which were also good. Staff were energetic and friendly. Read more
My friend and I ordered a hummus bowl and sweet potato falafel platter. Food was thoughtfully presented. The portions were... perfect for sharing between the two of us and reasonably priced (came down to $12.40 per person). Overall, a solid option for acasual, relatively-healthy lunch. Read more
The food here is really good. It is made to order and very fresh and well made. The food is very tasty and seasoned well. There... is a wide variety and the price is super fair for the amount of food they give you. I really have nothing bad to say. The Staffwere super friendly and helpful. Really hit the spot and the craving was very satisfied. Also they have keto and Paleo optionsas well as vegetarian. Really great place. Read more
Delicious Mediterranean food, quick, friendly service, decent prices for the area, convenient location to union square. Take... out, pick-up, order at counter/sit-down options. Appreciable vegan, plant-based and vegetarian, and gluten free options. Foundthis place as a compromise to get a quick bite for me (vegan) and non-vegan friend. Atmosphere filled with middle-eastern music- in the mood to dance but not loud enough to drown out ability to have an intimate conversation. Loved the Kruveet pan Read more
LOVED this place. The portions were very generous and the flavors were outstanding. My chicken shawarma pan was big enough to... only eat half and save the rest for the next day. We also ordered the lamb shawarma pan and a hummus bowl. I'd say my favoritewas the hummus bowl with pulled pork. It was perfectly done and seasoned. Absolutely delicious! I would totally come back.

Truly the most delicious Mediterranean food I?ve ever had ? and I eat/cook the cuisine frequently! What?s even better was the... prices ? my jaw dropped to see the huge hummus bowl was only $10 and the delicious lamb pan was only a little more at $16. Ican?t think of another place in Manhattan that provides such great value for amazing food. My partner and I ended up going twicein our 5 night stay. The staff was also super sweet! Read more
