    Great Mediterranean spot that is perfect for a romantic interlude! Definitely start the Hummus and Sambusak, then have the Lamb Osso Bucco. Finish (or start) with a Sour Cherry Vodka cocktail.

    House focassia with spicy feta , cauliflower, merguez (lamb sausage), ricotta gnocchi and definitely the terracotta lamb. For dessert Chocolate cake was delicious. Amazing dining experience.

    The shakshooka really hit the spot! Don't forget to get it with merguez, and be sure to order a side of warm focaccia from the oven. The bread they give you with the dish doesn't do the dish justice.

    everything, but start with the baba ghanoush and spicy feta dip. and the fennel pollen they use for one of their cocktails is deliciously intriguing.

    The food is nice, the restaurant was full. We were sitting outside. The dinner for 2 with vine was about 140$. The meat was tasty

    The bread sets the tone for the rest of the meal - so delicious! But as much as you want to, don't order it again, you need to save space for everything else that's amazing on the menu!

    Unique and great cocktails. The bread with trio is a must! Hummus of course the best. This is by far one of the best places on 10th ave in HK. Worth a visit and a repeat visit!

    It's a great hidden gem in Hells Kitchen! The hummus and bread are delicious but the berg short ribs are average. Try one of the fish dishes. Also this place is not cheap. Better for expense accounts!

    Quite good. Can become so busy to hear each other, so may not be the best place for a date. If you have a loud Mediterranean family, like mine ☺️, you will enjoy the place.

    The Bitches say: C+. A beautiful neighborhood spot with interesting, authentic Mediterranean brunch options, but we weren’t particularly blown away by any of our entrees. Read more

    Make sure you save some room for the dessert. They have very interesting combinations. Try tahini & chocolate!

    Try the unbelievable goat cheese cheesecake with poached figs and quince marmalade, which is a delicious twist to a classic dessert.

    Get Taboon's trio. This with their wonderful bread and wine, you don't need anything else to have a great evening with your friends!

    Hot, sweet and faintly oily, the sfing are dandy as is, but we love them best with Taboon's house tea of mint, lemon verbena and sage served in short Moroccan tea glasses. Read more

    Great twist on typical Middle Eastern food. Delicious cuisine and an excellent regional wine list to match.

    Taboon has been my go-to in Hell's Kitchen ever since they opened...just remember that, as good as the house focaccia is, you do need to save room to try the rest of their menu!

    The Foie Gras here is the best in New York. It is mind-blowingly delicious! It should be listed on the menu as Foie Gras crack.
