Best bread in town. You must try the scallops. Great atmosphere and wonderful service. A little pricy but worth it.

Great Atmosphere with Friendly Faces

Taboon is a great brunch spot with an airy atmosphere and pleasant service. The menu is not overly inspiring, but intriguing none the less and their food offers an interesting mix of flavors and textures. Their drinks are definitely a solid way to enjoy a Sunday morning.

I had never heard of Taboon before and certainly had no idea that places like this even existed all the way out there on 10th Avenue! BUT.. It's really woth the trip. First thing you see when you walk in is the big fabulous Taboon oven followed by a smiling hostess with a cute accent. Then you're seated at a perfect table and greeted by a charming and handsome waiter who obviously (throughout the entire evening) cares about your well-being and makes sure you're happy and you have what you need. The food is amazing! Hard to describe - you have to try it. Also here, the waiter was extremely helpful for us "first timers". Maybe not the cheapest restaurant in town, but it's worth every penny and we're still talking about our evening. Thank you... :)

When my friends arrived, we were asked if we had reservations, which we did not, and the maître d looked shocked. I looked around and there were a number of empty tables. I was told that we were lucky that they had a table available. Let me get to the point. The service was wonderful from beginning to end. The main courses were a bit pricey but I was expecting a great meal. The food though was terrible. It didn’t take a connoisseur to recognize that the ingredients were poor and scarce. Meat entrées included mostly skin and or fat. Vegetables or grains were drenched in cheap sauces to cover inferior ingredients and were inedible. Some of us wound up at a deli afterward because we were still hungry. We went because we read some of the good reviews, but we've all seen good restaurants change for the worse for one reason or the other. Save your money.

Just spent a great night at Taboon, schmoozing with the staff and the wonderful musicians who played beautiful music. A delicious experience, for all the senses! I'll definitely be back to try dessert (it looked great, but I had left no room for it!)

The staff at Taboon was very accomodating, never left our water glasses fall too low, cleared used plate and brought us new silverware between each course--- they did not hurry us out and paced the meal just as we liked. Very friendly and knowledgeable waiter. The bread was amazing and so were the sea scallops appetizer... a great experience! There's a dessert on the menu, too, begins with a "S...." (can't remember what it was called) but it was delicious and I would go back just for that!

Went on Saturday (6/28) and got a table at 6 pm. Great atmosphere and decor, with ample outdoor seating. Great value. The bread is fabulous, especially wtih the hummus. Highly recommended the shrimp meze, crab salad and the salad with the goat cheese (its a large portion too!). Desserts are good, especially the Silan. I eat out alot....and I'm putting this high on my list of restaurants to go back to.

After a cold and windy day spent wandering around the sites of New York City we decided to dine in 'Hells Kitchen'. We came across Taboon and after walking we accomadated at the bar. The staff were extermely helpful and professional and that was seen in the food we were served which was extremely well presented and tasted sublime. Although the prices were slightly high it was not too high for the quality of food that was on offer. A delight to eat at and I highly recommend this to anyone visiting New York.

I am no stranger to Taboon. I have been going since they opened a few years ago. I always had great service and good food. That being said, I will never set foot in there again. I brought a friend whom had never been few nights ago and right off the bat the hostess was very rude. We didn't have a reservation and she was pressuring us to be finished and out the door in less than an hour and a half. It took forever to get our food and the waitress never thought to apologize or let us know why it was taking so long. When it finally came, it was so salty I didnÂ’t even want to finish it. For the amount of money you spend for a meal there, it is not worth your time and energy. This is the first time IÂ’ve ever thought to post a review. I wanted to warn people before they waste their hard earned cash. This place is on a serious decline.
