Very friendly staff. I usually get the chicken or lamb/beef shawarma and they are consistently delicious.

Absolutely BEST Mediterranean place around!! I'm Middle Eastern and I've been to many middle eastern/Mediterranean places around the country and this is by far the best I've ever had. This taste just like the food in the Middle East and is truly authentic and fresh. The Shawirma wraps are packed with meat and veggies and delicious sauce. The kebabs are tender meat cubes that taste so good over rice as a dinner plate with two sides. There's plenty of veggie options here too. Falafel, hummus, eggplant wrap, and veggie combo just to name a few. The salads are great as well. my favorite is Tabouleh which is a popular salad in the region. Please do yourself a favor and try this great place out! You won't be disappointed!

I'm from San Diego but I've tried Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Sweden, Finland, and probably more. This was hands down the best chicken shawarma sandwich I've ever had. Every ingredient tasted fresh and perfectly complimentary to the rest of the ingredients. Not too much bread, not too much vegetable, and just the right amount of extra flavor from the hot sauce. I tried a piece of falafel as well, and this also is some of the best I've ever had. It's almost close to Indian aloo tiki, with a sharp, crunchy crust and a well-spiced mix in the middle that doesn't taste too strongly of herbs or oil. The women who own the restaurant were friendly and helpful, and they run a good store. The interior is small without being cramped, and I love the mural. I don't live here, but I would absolutely shove my friends toward it if I get the opportunity again.

We had a fabulous luncheon today and everything was delicious!!! It's a rarity to find a place that makes fresh falafels!!! Actually they make everything fresh!! The place is so charming and the owners are very welcoming. We ordered almost everything and everything thing was perfect I wish the photos were better but we couldn't wait to dive right in. Portions are very generous. We had the lamb & beef shiskabobs over rice, the hummus, bobaganush, dolmas, tabouli, falafels, chicken shawarma wrap along with their home made hot sauce. YUM!!!!

I enjoy visiting Taboun for a quick lunch or dinner. Their vegetarian entrees are tasty. I appreciate the kindness of the staff every time I arrive. Ordered through Yelp for pick-up this time and was slightly disappointed with the falafel was not even warm. (previously the falafels were fried right in front kitchen and served perfectly cooked and hot). I suggest order at the counter upon arrival and wait for the meal for dine-in. They have a lovely dining space. My partner was not impressed by the chicken shwerma wrap... I will return to try again. Thank you.

Ordered catering for an event, the food was fresh and delicious. The combo meat platter was tasty and the mezza platter was super fresh. Everyone kept telling me how much they loved the food and asked me where I ordered it from. Will definitely order for catering again

A local gem. The tabouleh, hummus, falafels, and the lamb and chicken wraps were fantastic. Please support this local family business.
We are in SF from out of town, here for surgery at UCSF. We are so glad we found this little restaurant with authentic, delicious Middle Eastern food. The owners and staff are all family, and welcomed us as family as well. Food was excellent, and serving sizes were very generous. I probably would have been satisfied with only half of my chicken shawarma wrap but managed to down the whole thing. I strongly recommend the spicy sauce on that dish. The atmosphere is very cozy, food is great, and the people are warm and generous. You won't go wrong here.
Taboun was recommended by a friend and it did not disappoint. I had the falafel bowl for lunch and it was excellent. Freshly made and super tasty.Family owned and run with super friendly service. I hope to be back next time I'm in San Francisco.

I am so grateful this place is near my home! Excellent, efficient, well-priced mediterranean takeout. Generous portions and super friendly staff - and it's family owned. We go here multiple times a month and it always makes me happy. Not the ambiance for dining in but a lovely purchase experience! Just call for pick up and it's usually ready in 10. I'm a fan of their falafel especially - the falafel bowl and deluxe falafel wrap are great. The chicken and eggplant wraps are also good but I pretty much never stray from the falafel.
