First time for my wife and me at this quaint restaurant.The inside has four small tables for two and one outside on the side walk. They also have "bar" seating along one side of the wall.Order at their counter.The food was good. Chicken was tender, salad is salad, and rice my wife loved.I had dessert, their Ashta ice cream with Baklava. Oh my, so delicious. A tip, they add sweet syrup so let them know if you like the Baklava to be sweet, or mild, or none at all!!Bill our server was very polite!

The food was good but it's not a sit down place more for a takeout. Service was great and quick. Ambience needs to improve

Ordered take away for NFL Playoffs viewing at the house. Everything was packaged and ready (as scheduled) when I arrived for pick up. Entire order was spot-on. And the latest dude at the counter (like every other employee ever encountered there) was, as usual, nice and friendly. Guests were blown away by the food and I was happy to share the secret of Taboon. (Speaking of secrets, if you add smoked paprika, sumac and a couple of splashes of Crystal Hot Sauce to their baba ghanoush it becomes so addictive it would qualify as a Schedule V drug. Serve with their pita toasted and sliced veggies)

I have been here at least four times and every time the food is exceptional, the portion size is great, the service is excellent, sitting outside on the patio is lovely. I have nothing but good things to say about taboo and will continue to come back.

Lamb Kabab Bowl w/ Lamb Chop 9/10- lamb medium/ rare done meat, not too chewy - Lamb hop was really tender - Rice was really delicious - A lot of flavor going on when you added all their sauces Lamb Kabab Wrap 1/5 - Lamb medium/ rare was too chewy, basically had to spit out the majority of the meat - Lacked flavor, very plain - No dipping sauces - lentil soup was pretty decent - Wrapped in a flower tortilla, I wish it was pita bread Zahrah ( Cauliflower) 10/10- great seasoning- Taste very citrusy with some Parmesan cheese - Would recommend trying out this appetizer Falafels 10/10- Authentically home made - can't go wrong with ordering these This is an updated review. I have gone to this place three times. The first two times my expectations weren't met. The third occasion I went the owner wanted to redeem himself so he asked me to come give them another try. I will say the third time I was not let down. The meat was done to my liking and I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. The customer service here is great, the cashier at the front desk is very kind and patient. The owner of the restaurant is very kind, you can tell he cares about his restaurant and his customers. This is their smaller location so it has a very intimate mom and pop feeling.

Visiting family in Long Beach, we ordered takeout from Taboon Express, the family meal with beef kebab, chicken kebab, and chicken shawarma, with an additional side of tabbouleh and cauliflower. It comes with garlic sauce, spicy hummus, baba ghanoush, garlic potatoes, fattoush salad. It was prepared right on time and packaged well for easy transport. It comes with pitas, of course. What a feast! Leftovers from this meal are a godsend for the next couple days lunches to work!

This was my first time here it was a great place with a friendly and great service. The food was very delicious if you are ever in the city of Los Alamitos or you just need to have good Mediterranean food this is definitely the place to come.

Always great quality food and today I called in my order about 10 minutes before they were scheduled to close.Thanks to the manager Mo for hooking me up with a birthday dinner for my son - okay it was for takeout but he's still getting celebrated tonight!Few tables inside and must cater more to the high school lunch crowd. Thanks for still taking my phone order, Mo!

This is an "express" restaurant. The dining room is small. Every time we eat from here, we order pick up. I suggest eating here if you are looking for takeout or delivery. If you have a large party, this isn't the place to eat. I ordered the Taboon Family Meal. It came with 3 cold appetizers, 2 hot appetizers, and 3 proteins. I got hummus, baba ganooj, and cucumber yogurt as my cold options; chicken tenders (for the kids) and falafel for my hot options; and chicken, beef, and lamb kabobs for my proteins. There was more than enough food. It also came with two types of rice, pita bread, pickled veggies, and garlic sauce. It's definitely worth ordering for a family of 6. The people who work here are always friendly and happy to help. Highly recommend this place if you live in the area.

Love the Beef Shawarma here. We stopped here too early in the week for some good Mediiterranean food you wont forget. We got a table of 6, and I ordered the Beef Shawarma plate with lots of hummus and beef. Food smelled good as we walked in and greeted. Portions are huge, and food not very expensive. Love to come back again.
