    I have frequented this place a few times while being here in Koh Phangan. Good tasting food, fast service and the staff are friendly. Good atmosphere in the evening time. Worth a visit

    The restaurant exists to promote the middle eastern cuisine and provides a safe space to have a siesta/food coma nap or to study whilst sipping on a beverage. Staff are friendly and enthusiastic and about the menu. Dining tables with chairs or floor cushions provided. Dog-friendly (on leash only I think?). There are a few condiments on the table as well as insect repellent (amazing!) First time, I ordered the tabbouleh (wasn't authentic as there were chunks of parsley and needed more zest/lemon) however was still enjoyable to eat. I had 2 pieces of lamb which were disappointingly very small but deliciously tender and cooked to medium-rare. If you're a pickled vegetables fan, you can't go past their homemade pickled cucumbers to help balance your tastebuds. Their spicy green dip had a subtle kick and doesn't have a dominant flavour so it's best as a mix-in, than a dip per se. Coconut water fresh in its shell comes with a straw and spoon however the coconut was warm (usually street coconut can be served from fridge) and because it was so young and green I couldn't scoop out much flesh. Was still delicious. The second time I came was two days after. I was greeted with a friendly smile again, I ordered lamb grilled plate with fries (yummy), small additional Israeli salad, hummus dip and home made pickles. I was told it would be a 15-20min wait but the grilled plate arrived in 10mins and generously portioned. The chips and grilled veggies didn't taste seasoned with salt however the mayo, mustard and hummus helped alot. The lamb was delicious and succulent as always. The Israeli salad sadly just tasted like oil doused on cabbage, cucumber, tomatoes and some mint leaves. Not a bad meal if you're watching your sodium intake :)

    Very good food here. Had the mix plate with chicken and lamb kebab. Just go for the lamb, it's amazing. Had a apple crumble for dessert with a scoop of pistachio ice cream on top and boy was I right to have that one. The ice cream is reaaaaally good and blended perfectly with the granola crumble. Also, staff is super nice and service was pretty efficient. Highly recommend.

    Who would believe to get authentic middle eastern food for very fair prices in Koh Phangan? I definitely didn’t. The owners really achieved to deliver authentic middle eastern food - what a great experience! We had the mixed starter platter with the different dips and pita bread - all of the dips are spot on and as you know them from middle eastern countries. The pita bread is just perfect. The mixed grill plate comes with perfectly seasoned and grilled lamp meat balls and chicken. The meat balls are so juicy and full of flavor, the chicken is unbelievably tender and also perfectly seasoned. The homemade ice cream - especially the mango sorbet - is just a melting flavor dream in your mouth. The owners are super friendly. I travelled the Middle East many times and eating here brought me back there for a couple of hours. Thank you so much for the great experience!

    I visited Taboon a couple of times during my trip to KP. It was a welcome escape from the Rainy days. I enjoyed the vegan friendly falafel plate, vegan stew, coconut ice cream and chocolate ball. The falafel plate was filling and reasonably priced. The stew was heart warming on a dull KP day. They enable you to use their Wi-Fi and visitors can stay as long as they like without feeling pressured to leave.

    The hummus at Taboon is really great, it has a lot of tahini in it and is perfeclty creamy. The falafel also taste very good and seem to be selfmade. Prices are very good and service is also great :)

    Pick the right dish (like the Sexy Shakshuka) and you are in for a delight. Pick wrong and you are in for alright. 5 stars because you should pick right :) Sexy Shakshuka 10/10 ⭐️Star Menu Item⭐️ It’s sexy because it includes all the possible add on toppings. Super flavours, balanced and great ingredients used. Just great. Lamb Sambusak 7/10 It was nice and probably very well made but I just wasn’t a big fan. Chickpea Hummus 7/10 Hummus is always different depending on the region of origin - this one was not my favourite, both the texture and taste were a little off for my preferred style. Service 10/10 The try hard, are fast and friendly. Location & Atmosphere 10/10 Sitting on the floor (with cushions) or on chairs, your choice, dim but bright enough lighting, fans to cool the air and on point decor - very nice place, located near shops, stores and beaches. 780 THB for 2 mains, hummus plate & 2 drinks.

    Had twice a breakfast in this restaurant. Staff is friendly and the price is okay. First time we took shakshuka and the second time we took a big breakfast. It was all good, but nothing special. Bonus points for the lovely cat

    Good place to have brunch at, when alone for two or in a group! The shakshouka tasted good and was fairly priced! Having it with aubergine and feta was yummy!

    great selection of Israeli food, large portions, everything I tried was delicious and fresh. the only negative of this establishment is that during prime time in the mornings and evenings there is a very long waiting time for an order, otherwise a wonderful cafe.

    Big portions of delicious food and very chill atmosphere - there’s nothing not to like about this place. Had food there a few times and my favorite dish is the shakshuka - the “sexy” one is fabulous but the standard version is great and very fulfilling too! (The only downside is that most dishes don’t handle delivery very well, and the results you get are so far from the dishes at the restaurant that I wouldn’t even bothering ordering anymore - just go there when you can!)

    Good middle eastern Lebanese-Israeli food, which is nice. Hummus is good, a good sign.. shakshuka is good but try the plain and simple one with eggs. Felafel is good but its presence on the plate is minority. You can consume lots of it if the plate would be loaded. Tabbouleh is not good, very dry, not tasty. Dessert Malabi (rice pudding) is fantastic, must try..

    Was there for lunch yesterday and had a falafel pita sandwich and my friend had this Sexy shakshuka. It was so huge the food but at the same time was so delicious. We end our day with a scoop of homemade ice cream which was also excellent. I think this will become one of our regular restaurant to come to.

  • 4/5 בועז �. 2 years ago on Google
    I really liked their food. Nice restaurant, but it waited for the food about 70 minutes. Good hala bread, was warm and crispy. I Enjoyed from the Shakshoka and hummus.

  • 4/5 Punyawee I. 3 years ago on Google
    It's middle east cuisine. The restaurant has nice atmosphere. Food is pretty delicious, they also have home made ice cream, yum. My favorite is shakshuka with feta cheese!!

  • 5/5 Liad R. 2 years ago on Google
    The food is really yummy and homey. Would recommend the sabich salad, it's filling, tasty and wholesome. Their bagels are fresh and delicious. Great place to cater for vegan/vegetarian and non vegetarian.

    2nd review: Update after breakfast. They have daily deals buy 1 get 1 free. Thursday Shakshuka special includes eggs and mostly tomatoes. They did better on the bread.. (toasted pita) but Again, not much flavor. Could use more spice, garlic, onion, even olive oil .. I added feta to mine but that only helped a little. Upon Checking my free to go Shakshuka. It was missing feta. They added it when I told them. Cappuccino was good. Generously added a star.. and so many good restaurants to dine at here.. won’t be a 3rd review. Bubbas coffee and truffled avocado toast are worth the drive for flavor. Just sayin.. only so many meals on the island. 1st review: Great ratings, so I tried an afternoon snack on this my 1st visit (dinner reservations elsewhere). Love Baba ghanouj so I had to try it! Homemade bagel to eat with. Baba was not that smoky as uses to and not as garlicky. Then there’s the bagel pancake. Not much flavor and apparently they don’t have a toaster. Pressed to death.

    The food was really good, but we waited one hour to have our food, and we didn’t eat all at the same time because they were giving food one by one. While some had finished eating, others were still waiting for their meal. I recommend for the food but too much time waiting.
