Fantastic food!

Jul 2015 • none

Big portions, quick service, clean environment, really great food, homey atmosphere, the wait staff were very pleasant, plenty of parking. Prices are very reasonable for good quality kosher meat.

Good Kosher food

Jun 2015 • friends

We ate lunch here during a 2 week stay in Skokie/Chicago as part of an Idf disabled veterans delegation. We were a party of about 30 people. The food was tasty and although being a large group at a anyway packed restaurant the service was good. I went for the Hummus and the Kebab in Pitah which were very good! Recommended!

Mediocre to poor quality with a couple of highlights

Jun 2015 • family

Spent $200 for family of 10 -- ouch! The beef grill was fatty and chewy, and the Taboun mixed grill just mediocre. Exceptions were the kubeh and Moroccan cigars which were tasty. The shwarma is fair. Had been there once previously, and it was a little better. Noise level tends to be high. Service is okay.

Good Hummus!

Nov 2014 • friends

It's hard to get good Hummus in the USA but this place does it right. All the food we had (hummus plate with mushrooms, falafel, shwarma) was great. They didn't rush us at all and we sat there for two hours. Place was very busy but the service was good.

Expensive, Mediocre, Aggravating

Tried this place several times. It seems like if you're not a regular they treat you differently. We asked for my wifes sandwich to exclude the wrap. She can't eat it, so why waste it? They couldn't eliminate the bread. "It is impossible to eliminate!" Spent $60 for three people and the best part of the meal was the pickle/beet salad. Servers are as congenial as prison guards, food is either bland or in weird combinations. Don't bother.

Phenomenal Appetizers

Busy, crowded, vibrant dinner atmosphere. Quite impressive Kosher/Israeli/Morroccoan/Middle Eastern Appetizer Menu. Good pita sandwiches and kabob entrees. Consider splitting entrees given portions/dinner pricing, especially for kids.

Time to freshen up the menu

Aug 2014 • business

There are a decent amount of choices but it's time to add some new variety. I get the impression that because there aren't many Kosher choices in the area they aren't overly motivated to keep raising the bar. Food is decent.

Excellent food

Aug 2014 • none

The food is always consistently good. I order lots of vegetarian salads they are always yummy. I also like the chicken thigh dinner. They can get really busy. That's because the secret is out that the food is so great!

Tasty Kosher Food

Aug 2014 • friends

My friend and I went here for lunch on August 4th. Little did we realize that this day was a minor Jewish holiday (Tish'a B'Av), meaning that they were not serving meat that day. But not to worry. There were plenty of vegetarian, vegan, and fish dishes to tempt the palate. We both chose the salmon wrap with humus and vegetables. It was absolutely delicious! And the portion size was very generous. One wrap would have been sufficient for two.

Not again

Jul 2014 • family

Gave this place a second chance after a bad first experience. This visit was worse than the first. Asked for a sandwich without the pita was like asking for a pot pie without the crust. The staff seem more interested in bleating out rules than serving customers. For the measly portions the prices are too high, especially for the area. $13.00 for a half entree lunch. The food is at best mediocre. The bill is whatever they feel like charging you. We were charged for sodas we didn't have. Much like the first time, we just paid and left. Begrudgingly gave a 15% tip instead of our usual 30% (We are in the service industry too.) If you want to spend fifty bucks for three people to get rude inattentive waitstaff and mediocre food this is the place for you! Pita Inn or Roti have much better food, hugely better prices and quicker service.

Top Quality Middle Eastern Fare

Aug 2013 • family

Simply excellent food for anyone who likes middle eastern fare. Try the laffa sandwiches (instead of pita). Huge portions and delicious.

carnivores kosher delight

Aug 2013 • friends

Ate dinner here - plain restaurant, not a lot of fanfare but a good selection - place was packed on a Sunday evening - Yemenite soup was very tasty as was all the food we ordered - not inexpensive but the portions are very big and can easily be shared by two or even three people - nice place and recommended, especially if you keep kosher. Service was friendly and efficient.

They've gone downhill..........

Jul 2013 • family

After having dinner at Taboun Grill this evening, i'm hard-pressed to give them a 3.... A 2.5 is more appropriate, but since TA doesn't allow half points, i gave them the benefit of the doubt.... mainly because of the lively atmosphere this evening..... We've eaten at, and have been to catered events by Taboun Grill over the years, and i'm convinced they've gone downhill....big time... They used to have some of the best french fries ever, now they're just average..... Chicken shwarma.....i've had better... Today, i had the beef kabob pita and i gotta say, it was not that good---tough, rare (i asked for well-done), not very tasty low quality meat..... I've noticed they've been skimping on the meat and chicken, even in the shwarma pita sandwiches.... The kids had the chicken nugget kids meal... The one boy didn't like his nuggets, so i tried them for myself.... They were not good at all....even Mc Donald's CN's were better than this! It's a shame, because Taboun Grill was once great, plus it's different than your typical Kosher restaurant: Israeli/Middle Eastern vs Bubbie-type food establishments.... So, if eating Middle Eastern and keeping it Kosher is a top priority, then you're pretty much stuck with Taboun Grill.... If not, but you still want great Middle Eastern food.....at a more reasonable price, then you're better off driving a coupla miles east and going to Pita Inn...

expensive but tasty

Apr 2013 • family

taboun grill is the only kosher middle eastern restaurant in the chicago/skokie area. it is more of a special occasions restaurant due to its higher than average prices. the moroccan cigars that i ordered were very tasty (but a bit too spicy).very long wait time though.
