I
recently
visited
Taboon
Restaurant
in
Zamalek,
Cairo
and
unfortunately,
my
experience
was
quite
disappointing.
While
the
shisha
was
decent,
the
food
left
much
to
be
desired.
We
ordered
an
omelette,
falafel,
and
hummus,
but
all
three
dishes
were
below
average
in
taste
and
quality.
The
flavors
were
bland
and
lacked
the
authentic
Middle
Eastern
touch
that
one
would
expect
from
a
restaurant
specializing
in
this
cuisine.
To
make
matters
worse,
we
also
decided
to
try
their
croissant,
which
I
would
strongly
advise
against.
It
was
dry
and
tasteless,
far
from
the
flaky
and
buttery
goodness
that
a
good
croissant
should
be.
It
seemed
like
an
afterthought
on
their
menu
rather
than
something
they
put
effort
into.
Furthermore,
the
lack
of
basic
amenities
in
the
restroom
was
quite
surprising.
There
were
no
tissues
or
hand
soap
available,
which
is
unacceptable
for
any
establishment
claiming
to
provide
a
satisfactory
dining
experience.
Hygiene
should
be
a
top
priority
for
any
restaurant.
However,
I
must
admit
that
Taboon
Restaurant
does
have
one
redeeming
quality
-
its
location
on
Abo
ElFeda
Street
in
Zamalek
is
excellent.
The
area
is
vibrant
and
offers
a
pleasant
atmosphere
for
dining
out.
Additionally,
it
is
worth
noting
that
the
prices
at
Taboon
Restaurant
are
quite
high
considering
the
level
of
service
and
quality
of
food.
In
my
opinion,
the
prices
are
overrated
and
do
not
align
with
the
overall
dining
experience.
While
location
is
important,
it
should
not
be
the
sole
factor
in
determining
the
value
of
a
restaurant.
Customers
should
expect
a
certain
level
of
excellence
in
both
taste
and
service
when
paying
premium
prices.
Unfortunately,
Taboon
Restaurant
did
not
meet
these
expectations
during
my
visit.
Overall,
I
cannot
recommend
Taboon
Restaurant
based
on
my
visit.
The
subpar
food
quality,
lack
of
attention
to
detail
regarding
hygiene
in
the
restroom,
and
disappointing
croissant
overshadowed
any
positives
that
could
have
been
found
at
this
establishment.
