Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Taboon is my go-to place for indulging like royalty. It's unequivocally the ultimate dining destination. The menu is an orchestra of flavors, each dish an absolute delight. Their salad is a culinary masterpiece, and their apple tea is a symphony of scrumptiousness. Taboon also introduced...me to the life-altering dessert known as Sahlab – a revelation in every spoonful. Believe me, you haven't truly lived until you've savored Sahlab here. Moreover, Taboon provides the perfect backdrop for brunch with friends. Its spacious setting adds to the charm, making it an ideal gathering spot.More

Have lived on the coast for many years and finally went to Taboon last night wanting to try something different. The food was great as was the service. Their take on Cheesy Garlic bread was to die for and our mains of Lamb Skewers and...the other a Lamb Shoofta were sooo nice. Maybe a little less rice needed. We were full and shared a dessert, definitely glad we went and will certainly be going back again.More

We got take out last night and it was terrible. We order the halloumi entree which was over deep fried and hard as a rock with no cheese left in it. I also ordered the Skewer platter and they said it was enough for two...and there was hardly anything on it the meat wasn’t even skewer anymore someone just pulled it off and it look like little nuggets of meat. It’s also come with Falafel that was so burn I was shocked that they even served it. I heard good things about this place and unfortunately was a waste of $67.More

Selected for a catch up with friends as it is their favourite lunch spot. Most had the lunch bowls- the pulled lamb served on Egyptian rice was particularly tasty. The chicken skewer mon salad was a large skewer of perfectly cooked juicy chicken on a...good crunchy salad. Portion sizes are very generous. A short alcohol list is perfectly adequate. Water was replaced without requesting which is the mark of attentive waitstaff. Service is friendly, knowledgeable and efficient.More

We had lunch and chose the skewer platter for 2. The chicken, beef and lamb were superb with the right level of spice. The dipping sauces were delicious, particularly the chutney. Overall their food is clean, fresh and tasty. Their coffee and sweets are equally...as delightful and of course being a family run business the service is friendly and prompt. Really loved this place and highly recommend.More

Loved the food, we had the Lamb Tagine and Taboon Fish. Both meals were delicious, large dishes at a low cost point. Starters were great, the hummous and lamb dip, and the cheese sambusak, both again decent portions. All in all for 2 people the...total cost was close to $100, which is quite good for what we got. I would have paid more. Ambience was great, staff were very courteous and helpful. We will be going back.More
