    This place has become my favourite when I look for cheap meal deals! Guess what? The total bill was only 860 takas after ordering six items! I'm turning into a huge fan because they serve fresh food cooked without tasting salt. They do take a little bit of time to prepare the food but hey, I am willing to wait if the food is freshly prepared and good.โ €

    I ordered for the first time from them through online. I didnโ€™t like the frybox at all. There were very less chicken. The fries were over fried. It was very much dry.

    Felt the touch of Arab in the food. Newly renovated but wall decoration was less. Not crowded when I visited.

    The best food stall in the urban void food court! Almost authentic arabian taste with that delicious rice. Top notch food with great price. Went there several times. My favorite is the charcoal chicken rice. The fries and wedges are also great.

    Experienced their Charcoal Chicken Platter and Potato Wedges. Charcoal Chicken was just awesome. It was mouthwatering. Arabian Basmati rice was also very good. Potato wedges was just amazing. But compared to food court price, it's costly. They serve the items within 15 minutes. Their behaviour was also very good. Overall great experience. Highly recommended.

    The chicken shawarma is really good. Comes with pickles and fries inside, very similar to middle eastern shawarma. The interior is plain but has a lofty ceiling

    It's a great place for a hangout though the price is a little high which is considerable. The food is delicious and looks good with a very short time. Best place for Arabic food around Bashundhara R/A. Along with this, the environment is comfortable for hangouts and their behaviour is polite.

    As it was way to hot to go outside- decided to order from toum. Ordered their Habibi's feast. It contained 2 shawarma wraps,2 shish tawouk wraps, 2 falafel wraps, 2 garlic dips, pickles and fries. Fries came in boxes and had seperate dips inside. Fries were ususal, not bad and not too good but good. I loved their pickles, I could honestly eat a whole bowl of them. Shawarma wraps were okay.. packed with meat and fries and pickles. Falafel wraps were not that good, they were mostly dry, tastes a bit dull. I Needed some ketchup to have them. Shish towuk wraps were just bomb.. they were too good. Perfectly grilled piece of meat with amazing flavour.

    I love Arabian dishes, so went for some Arabian food around me and got that amazing one. The food was meet my expectations and was very delicious. They don't have any dining space yet but will open soon in Bashundhara r/a. Just have a roop now where you can enjoy your food.

    I recently dined at TOUM restaurant and it was an exceptional experience. The moment I walked in, the inviting aroma of Arabian dishes filled the air, setting the stage for a delightful meal. The menu was a delightful journey through authentic Arabian cuisine, and each dish was a masterpiece of flavors and textures. The ambiance was warm and cozy which made the dining experience even more enjoyable. From the perfectly seasoned kebabs to the aromatic rice dishes, and juicy wraps every bite was a reminder of the rich culinary heritage they celebrate. TOUM restaurant is a true gem for anyone seeking an unforgettable Arabian dining adventure.

    The food along with the ambient was good enough. The taste of the food was not banal,you may test something different in your tongue. Therefore, they should increase the quantity of food in accordance with the price.

  • 3/5 Naema I. 4 months ago on Google โ€ข 6 reviews
    The food at Toum is always good but the quantity is always less compared to the price that you're paying. Every time we go there they always mess up the order because they never write it down. So instead of 2 Shish Tawouk Frybox they gave us the 1. ๐Ÿ˜ At this point we didn't even bother telling them we ordered 2 because this always happens. The environment could be better. The walls have paint chipping off them and look bad. I highly recommend you try their mint tea but again the quantity is so little, so you'd probably have to order 2 teas instead of 1 per person but they'll probably forget your order. ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ If you want good food in little quantities and you don't mind repeating your order because they forget, give toum a try!

    The restaurant is good for Lebanese food at a reasonable price. I don't know if it tastes like the authentic one. I had beef kebab wrap and shish kebab plate. I liked the beef kebab wrap. The waiters were friendly.

  • 4/5 Fayiza T. 2 years ago on Google
    The review is not saying that this is a bad restaurant. I recommend this highly because their food tasted better than those average 'arabian' restaurants. But I've given them a four star so they may improve one or two things. We had their iftari platter(500 bdt) and it was delicious. But after a while we came to know that have no drink options included not even a taka 15 worth water bottle. Which we had to buy separately because of course we were all fasting and even one water bottle isnโ€™t enough. Even if the food was good but this tiny fact or lack of this very little generosity which we expected at this Ramadan month made us really upset. This is how human mind works right? I hope they will consider this fact because they seemed they care about their business, which showed in their cordial behaviour. Wish them all the best.

  • 5/5 Pipilika P. 3 months ago on Google โ€ข 68 reviews New
    When i saw a new Arabic restaurant in FoodPanda, as usual i was a bit skeptical but curious at the same time as the menu looked quite intriguing. Skepticism because most "Authentic" Arab places charge way more without providing any authenticity in terms of taste. So seeing such a budget friendly menu, decided to give it a try and i am delighted that my curiosity won :) The first surprise was the hummus and pita. That's been one of my most ordered dishes in every Arabic place I have visited and to be honest, this was no less than any of those places. Creamy hummus topped with a generous amount of olive oil, served with hot and soft pita bread, it was a delight !!! Then came the second surprise, the Kabsa, which is named Arabian Rice in their menu. I don't think i have ever eaten such flavorful Kabsa in Dhaka ever, because most of those lacked the flavour and salt. But TOUM managed to bring the flavour out and best part, it wasn't overly oily, every kernel of rice is separated and very delicious with the Chicken Shish Tawouk. Hats off to the chef for clocking the flavour and taste. Also the pickled vegetables they gave with shawarma platter, chef's kiss!!! A great source of probiotics!!! Out of all the meat ( i am allergic to beef), Chicken Shish Tawouk stood out to me because it's more flavourful and complements the mains pretty well, be it the rice bowl or the shawarma. Chicken shawarma meat lacked a little bit of cumin which is one of the key spices in arabic food, and a little bit of char in the meat will do wonders for the taste. TOUM meatboxes might look small, but they are packed, trust me. Equal amount of meat and fries. I am partial to the Chicken Fillet one. Their Chicken Nuggets are not the ones u get in regular places, these are thinly cut chicken breast/thigh pieces coated with breadcrumbs and deep fried, like a mini cutlet. They do give pita bread and fries with it, so u can make a nugget shawarma out of it. However they could improve the taste of falafel a bit more, maybe a bit more salt, cumin, paprika because it tasted somewhat bland in the shawarma but actually much better than another place i know of who sells the worst falafel fried in 100 days old oil. Overall, i think i have tasted almost everything from TOUM's menu ( minus fried chicken and beef), and i could say this is the closest to authentic Middle Eastern food u could ever get, and that too at such a price which won't break ur wallet if u wanna be fancy for a day. And i hope they maintain the same quality because most places start strong and then go down very soon when they become a bit popular. Don't want the same fate for TOUM.

    Hummus was good but the falafel wasnโ€™t good at all. The platter was v over priced and the waiter couldnโ€™t tell what was the main ingredient of Falafel. It tastes like peyaju to us.

    Went there for iftar, the food was bland and the shwarma was to tangy. Maybe the taste was different due to ramadan might change during usual days. But recommended for arabian food lovers.

  • 5/5 Tahmina S. 9 months ago on Google
    The food was incredibly yummy! If you are looking for some Jeddah-Saudi Arabian dish flavor in Bangladesh, you MUST make a visit here. The garlic sauce is just a pure replica. The price range is reasonable and affordable. It is a cozy place for family and friends hangout but be aware of the washroom. Haha. It was my first time there and the washroom did not have any water. If they put a little more effort in case of the restroom then it is an amazing place. It is cozy, they have AC service, good taste of music and amazing food quality.

  • 3/5 Ushain Marma I. 1 year ago on Google
    The quality of the food was good. But according to price, the size of the chicken they gave was really small.

  • 2/5 Mehrab Hossain L. 2 years ago on Google
    Disappointed. TOUM were one of my favorite restaurants when they were located in Urban Void food court. Recently, after their re-establishment to a new place, I got a chance to visit them and had their iftar platter. Sorry to say, the rice and kebab item had very poor taste. As their restaurant was houseful, they failed to serve all the items mentioned on their platter menu. Also, their newly hired food servers were not professional. On the positive side, the restaurant manager was very polite and hospitable. I hope they will improve their quality very soon.

  • 3/5 Md Rafi Uz Z. 1 year ago on Google
    The food price is fair in my opinion but tasted very average..Well Iโ€™m not saying its bad but the quality and taste could have been a lot betterโ€ฆ

  • 5/5 Shamsina Z. 6 months ago on Google
    Iโ€™m a regular customer here. I love Arab food. So its the only place around Bashundhara that we can have some delicious kebsa, falafel, hummus, shawarma. I love how they give those pickles. They also have great garlic sauce. My suggestion: maybe if you mix a bit of tahini with the hummus.

  • 1/5 Tahmidul I. 5 months ago on Google
    Today I ordered their Shwarma Rice bowl via food panda. They gave a small box where rice was not full and it looks like someone ate a portion from the box ! Please do business with honesty otherwise investigate the matter! The price was high in terms of food amount!

  • 5/5 kamrul h. 3 years ago on Google
    Only online based restaurant. Food tast is not up to the mark

  • 2/5 Salman Bin H. 2 years ago on Google
    I'm not entirely sure if it serves authentic Arabian food but the taste is a bit different and a bit off to my taste bud. To be fair, I had this dish a few years ago so I can't say if they have improved their taste or not. The pandemic might have shut them off from physical location so talking about the environment is not worth it. There are better alternatives.

  • 4/5 Asad Uz Z. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was delicious with an adequate amount but quite pricey. The only particular point which I disliked was their management system. It seemed a little messy and mismanaged but can be improved.

  • 1/5 Adnan S A. 1 year ago on Google
    Had ordered twice before. The Wrap and Falafel both were delightfully tasty and fresh. However, the third time that I ordered, I found the Falafel to be dry and flat. The Hummus was not up to the mark either. Toum ought to be more concerned with maintaining consistency.

    Their food quality is good. The reason I am writing this review is because of their service. They are the BEST! I'm not even kidding, recently I visited their shop and ordered Shwarma Rice Bowl and got a small hair in my bowl. I informed them and they politely apologized for the incident. Then they offer me another rice bowl for free. As I almost finished my food, so I said NO. But to my surprise, when I was about to leave the shop they gave me this package of Shwarma Rice Bowl for free!
