If you need an inexpensive lunch or just an amazing pita sandwich , Taboonette's got ya covered. Their pita sandwich version of shakshuka (eggs and tomato sauce ) is deeply flavorful and satisfying.

Noah Weiss

The "American" bacon egg and cheese breakfast sandwich is a great Mediterranean alternative to the classic. It's on pita , has grilled eggplant , and hot sauce . Also, $6 ????. Good veggie options , too.

Kino

The Lamb Shawarma here is simply the best that I've tried in NYC. The Chicken Shawarma was not as good. Their prices are not cheap : $10 for Chicken Pita & $11 for Lamb Pita . Free WiFi PW: internet.

Mona Wu

Yummy vegetarian options . Try the Kruveet platter with roasted cauliflower and eggplant over rice or quinoa with hummus on the side. Ask for hot sauce !

Noah Weiss

I've always wanted someone to put shakshuka -- poached egg with spiced tomatoes , tahini , and cilantro -- into a pita to save me the effort of all that dipping . Taboonette has that breakfast sandwich .

Gothamist

This fast casual offshoot of Taboon specializes in "Middleterranean Pocket Food," the confluence of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern foods served in pita . That even means shakshuka in a pita , too. Read more

Lauren Montemurro

This place is wonderful. Cozy , friendly , affordable and always delicious! Get the salmon egg pita . The pita is out of this world- as fluffy as can be. Even the arugula side salad is perfect!!

Lucy

Cozy little spot for great plates for vegetarians and omnivores alike!

Christine Byun

Big portions , such good hummus , fried eggplant , cauliflower . The pita pockets also come with chips . Casual , quick eat spot

Dan Pyatetsky

10. Salmon was great, lamb shawarma had great flavor but real rich. Will definitely try the chicken thighs and kofte .

Celena Chan

I got the super flavorful lamb kabob over salad with a side of corn . I love how these lamb meatballs don't have any fillers other than spices and veggies .

Clair Gunther

I just had the salmon and egg breakfast...delicious! Forget best Mediterranean-- this is some of the best food in Manhattan period!

Oz Lubling

This place rocks! You can't go wrong with almost any choice of food. My favorite is the chicken Schwarma platter with yellow rice , hummus and Israeli salad .

Doni Goodman

Come here! Best falafel pita sandwich . Fresh ingredients , soft pita and delicious sauces. Unlike any falafel sandwich I've ever had.

Alicia

Chicken scharwma is better than the chicken and rice and if you eat in you get home made chips on the side! Ask for extra green sauce , it's spicy and pairs well with the sandwich !

Kornelija Maceviciute

The menu is not big, but the food is really good! Is is a small place, very few places to sit down. Waiter would help you choose if it's the first time you hear the food names :)

Sonny Kwok

Love it, pita tastes better than most other places, but they also charge a little more and it's always packed. Get a punch card and get your 10th pita free

Ernesto Gutierrez

Great spot for lunch : quick, delicious and humble. The braised lamb steals the show but the steak , chicken and meatballs were great as well .

Real Cheap Eats

The slow-roasted pulled pork is arguably the best deal in the house. The meat’s deep flavor is complemented by an apple slaw , and garnished with chipotle mayo , crunchy fried pork skin and cilantro . Read more

Barton Smith

Beautiful white-washed interior serving pita pockets full of flavor. I love their salmon for something light and healthy. They also sell beer !

Danielle Dolgin

Must order the tzaziki and pita chips for a side dish. Great addition to any of the large plates

Brooke

Fast, satisfying, affordable lunch . Chicken shawarma was amazing. Fluffy pita , yummy spices, crisp veggies , and awesome spicy sauce on the side!

Benjy Weinberger

You know how every country has one decent local lager ? Israel's is Goldstar, and they have it here.

Frank Rimalovski

Excellent fast casual Greek/Mediterranean. Salmon rice plate was excellent! I'll be back. Cool vibe with cozy community style tables. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Chicken Shawarma Pita with hot sauce . The Brisket & Egg pita is great too.

Kathy Liu

Stefano Guidolin

The pulled pork plate is really something!! The way the meat mix with the spicy sauces and the sweetness of apples is amazing!

Carmen Magar

The shawarma and pita bread is delightful, but I also really like the roasted veggies

Lauren

Kruveet plate , chicken , sweet potato falafel , hummus , homemade potato chips ... all delicious. ☝️

Flora Cheng

Love the sabich sandwich ! They stuff it with lots of Israeli salad , and comes with chips on the side.

Kika G

If you're extremely hungry, get the pulled pork , it comes with delicious apple slaw . If you don't want to be in a post-eating, get a sabeech

Mil4n S

Quick Lunch ! Pulled pork in pita bread and beer to brake your working day between meetings and creativity :) btw I haven't seen 'spend my day in meetings' crowd

Mike Kelberman

Salmon and egg pita on the breakfast menu is half price of the other items and served all day. Thank me later.

Umair Zia

Well well well ... If it isn't some fresh & delicious ass Mediterranean food ... Simple menu, great presentation, very satisfied.

Paige C

Everything was delicious, from the shawarma to the salads to the pita . They even cater !

Isadora Vieira

Whole30 options! Every option can come either in a pan or pita , and the pan can be ordered without rice .

Jeffery Zou

These guys know how to season and grill. Chicken , pork , salmon all good. Rice platters pack a lot of flavor in a small package.

Superjonbot

Need some quick quality food at a spot that's a-ok to dine by yourself. Chicken Shwarma platter! If you like spicy , the green sauce if off the hook!

Yuval Zukerman

Good gluten free choices and tasty Israeli food .

T S

Go for the amazing humus bowl with falafel ! Don't forget the haloumi neither!

Caitlin Dickerboom

Love everything here! The warm kale salad is great and quite large!

AmateurConcierge

The hummus is creamy and calling re Lamb “schwarma ” is doing it a disservice. It’s too good.

David Schorr

Really delicious falafel ! My only gripe is that they charge you for additional tahini . 1st time I've ever seen this & I've had falafel all over the world.

Colleen K

They seem to have changed their pita bread and it is 1000% less good ????

Michelle Bajurny

Awesome unconventional all-day breakfast food . Fresh great Mediterranean, friendly staff , highly recommend.

Mike Dudas

The pulled pork & salmon dishes are to die for. This spot is a consistent, affordable winner.

Ben K.

Everything here is delicious, especially the shakshuka pita . You MUST try the pulled pork nachos if they are available.

Fee O

Chicken shawarma and quinoa is a great combo.
