I’ve been coming to Taboun regularly for over 7 years and I can say with confidence that this one is the best Mediterranean places in SF at the price point. Upon entry you are greeting by the kind hard working ladies who have worked tirelessly to make this restaurant exceptional. It’s always spotless, the inside has a beautiful interior, and everything is made fresh. The best thing I can say is that this restaurant is always consistent. Not once has the meat been dry, overly salty, undercooked, etc. I’ve honestly never had a bad meal here, the kabobs are cooked fresh to order. This remains the best kofte I’ve ever had. I always get the dinner combo comes with your choice of 2 meats, 2 sides, and is severed with rice and pita for a very fair $20. This was one of the first middle eastern places I went to in SF, and over the years after trying many other ones, it still has kept its place near the top. When you walk in you feel a sense of comfort and that you are welcomed into their homes. The food is made with love, and it’s simply spectacular. If you’re near UCSF or cole valley, this should easily be your top pick.
