We had the Chicken shawarma wrap, the Lamb-beef shawarma, Tabouleh salad and Falafel side. They were all tasty and freshly made. Prices are reasonable and service was excellent.

Do yourself a favor, especially if you're up the hill at the hospital instead of getting a doordash. Just take a little 3 minute down the hill and get the food here, fresh ingredients excellently prepared by a caring, warm staff. You can't go wrong, ask any of the doctors or nurses at UCSF. Insider tip, You're welcome!.....

Really wanted to try out and support this restaurant, but the food was flavorless and unsatisfying. I ordered the chicken shish wrap. Unfortunately, I won't be returning.

My favorite falafel and shwarma spot in SF. Great flavors and sauces. Food is ready fast! Inside has a some tables for a quick lunch, a few tables outside too. Super convenient for UCSF medical center visitors and employees/students. They've been here a long time and for good reason!

Quaint cafe with big flavors in the food. All the standards like hummus, falafel and tabouleh are best un class. Meats, lavash wraps, and salads are generous portions for a reasonable price. Highly recommended.

I’ve been coming to Taboun regularly for over 7 years and I can say with confidence that this one is the best Mediterranean places in SF at the price point.
Upon entry you are greeting by the kind hard working ladies who have worked tirelessly to make this restaurant exceptional. It’s always spotless, the inside has a beautiful interior, and everything is made fresh. The best thing I can say is that this restaurant is always consistent. Not once has the meat been dry, overly salty, undercooked, etc.
I’ve honestly never had a bad meal here, the kabobs are cooked fresh to order. This remains the best kofte I’ve ever had. I always get the dinner combo comes with your choice of 2 meats, 2 sides, and is severed with rice and pita for a very fair $20. This was one of the first middle eastern places I went to in SF, and over the years after trying many other ones, it still has kept its place near the top.
When you walk in you feel a sense of comfort and that you are welcomed into their homes. The food is made with love, and it’s simply spectacular. If you’re near UCSF or cole valley, this should easily be your top pick.
Best, homely Mediterranean food; run by very sweet people.

My family and I were starving after a long day of activities, so we gave it a try to order from this restaurant for the first time. In a few words, the food was so delicious and tasty, and my children loved it.

Really great Greek food...I had the lamb kebob dinner with falafel and hummus. Lots of food and very reasonably priced. Additionally, these people are so gracious and kind. I let them know that it was my first time in their restaurant as I am from out of town and I was in the city to be with my mother who was getting an operation in a nearby hospital. They gave me an iced tea on the house to go with my meal and told me several times that they hoped my mother would be ok. It's uplifting to meet truly nice people like this couple. I wish them the best and hope I can patronize their establishment again in the future.
