Taboon Restaurant — Restaurant in Geziret al Zamalik, Jazirat al Zamalik

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...

Beware of this restaurant they tend to give you more on your bill than what you order. When we found out that’s the bill came over what we ordered and they through a tantrum because their wasn’t able to put a wool over are eyes they added extra money on the tax and service it was a very bad experience I would not recommend this place to anyone.
