The food is authentic and delicious. Service is always very friendly and prompt. I have never eaten inside of the restaurant but the decor is pleasant and there is outdoor dining.

It was recommended and was my first time trying this place. No regrets! Food - I ordered a grilled cheese bowl. It comes with 4 pieces of grilled sliced cheese, two types of seasoned rice, hummus and salad. It was a perfect size for me. Salad was crunchy, everything tasted freshly prepared and delicious! Service - I can't ask better! I received friendly, welcoming and perfect service! I'm so glad that I tried this place out. I'll definitely come back again and this place is highly recommended to everyone. There are 2 other locations as well, just to mention. It's really worth trying, if you haven't tried yet.

As soon as I walked in, the employee manning the register welcomed me and asked if I had been there before. I had not, so he started explaining the complex looking menu which is actually pretty simple. I then ordered the beef shawarma entree which came in a to go box, but was very filling and the box came in handy as I could not finish it. Came with more food than expected.

Hands down the best Mediterranean food I've ever had. I've never had anything I didn't love which makes it hard to make a decision when eating here. Mo is always so nice and welcoming, great customer service. Highly recommend.

Taboon offers a delightful culinary journey through the vibrant flavors of the Middle East. From the moment you step inside, the warm and inviting ambiance sets the stage for an authentic dining experience. The menu boasts a diverse selection of dishes, with highlights including perfectly grilled kebabs, aromatic rice pilaf, and freshly baked flatbreads emerging from their traditional taboon oven. The attentive staff enhances the overall dining experience, providing insightful recommendations and ensuring that every guest feels welcomed. The restaurant's commitment to using high-quality ingredients shines through in each dish, delivering a satisfying fusion of flavors that captures the essence of Middle Eastern cuisine. So if you're ever in the neighborhood of Cypress and Garden Grove please make a quick stop . Ask for your boy Mo. He will definitely make it in a lighting experience. The attention to detail extends beyond the food, with thoughtfully designed decor that transports diners to a cozy corner of the Middle East. The soft lighting and subtle music create an atmosphere that encourages conversation and relaxation. Whether you're a seasoned enthusiast of Middle Eastern cuisine or a newcomer eager to explore new tastes, Taboon delivers an impressive blend of authenticity, flavor, and hospitality that makes it a standout choice in the culinary landscape.

Tried out the restaurant for the first time. Dined in for dinner. The place is nice and clean. Order chicken kabob plate. The portion is great. Shared the plate. Also, order arrayes and rice pudding. Really enjoyed the food. The service was great. Staff members are friendly. Definitely will visit again.

"I highly recommend this place, and I love their food. Had the Chicken Kabob Plate, chicken was on point, 2 types of rice with salad, pita bread...cant ask for more...oh and Rice Pudding for dessert. MO was super humble and generously offered me to try some chocolate covered dates ...will definitely come back to try other items.

Love this place! Have gotten take out twice and my husband and I are obsessed. He gets falafel and I get chicken shawarma. So lucky we found this place so close by. Will be ordering a bunch of food for my baby’s b-day celebration. She loves the hummus and I know the rest of the family will love the food too- can’t miss!Update 1/6/24- this place is still freakin good. We ordered a bunch for my baby’s 1st birthday and everyone remarked how delicious the food was. We got takeout for dinner again tonight and I tried the Greek salad for dinner tonight and it was really good. Toddler loved sharing my husband’s falafel bowl and hummus with pita. Always a solid meal when we get takeout here. Thank you Taboon!

This place rocks! We've gotten take out several times and even got trays of food for my baby's first birthday bc we love the food. Everyone remarked how awesome the food was. The chicken shawarma is the best and the Greek salad is large and delicious. The steak kebab was very good, tender meat. My husband loves the falafel bowl and our toddler does too. It's really nice that it comes with two kinds of rice- both are very good- a nice surprise. Can't miss the hummus and pita, of course. This place is a solid take out spot and we'll be back again and again. Very well done Taboon
