Taheni - Lindenhurst

I tried the beef and lamb platters and found them to be very flavorful without being too spicy. The shakes were also unique and tasty!

I finally discovered a fantastic local Mediterranean restaurant!! As soon as you walk in, you can tell it's family-owned, and the delicious taste of the food confirms it. The setup is modern, with the option to order on a touch screen kiosk and customize everything to ensure your order is perfect. I tried the lamb platter, falafel platter, and hummus, all of which were delicious. For dessert, I had the kanafeh, which was exceptional. This place is now my go-to spot, and I highly recommend it to everyone! The prices are extremely reasonable, and the portions are great.

I am a vegetarian and a very snooty vegetarian at that. I am a very good cook who works very well with flavors and spices. And so I can say this. This Palestinian dive has some of the best Mediterranean dishes....in New York. Most places and people have no idea at all on how to make soft and well cooked falafel. But I got a falafel platter with mujhadara lentil rice) and tabouleh. For sides I chose babaganoush and hummus. Got their tatziki and housemade hot sauce. On theside was one fresh homemade pita. Us got a sweet hibiscus cold tea. Every single thing was out of the ballpark fantastic. Flavors, spice, ingredients just perfectly balanced. I hardly ever go back to the same restaurant.....but thisone.....I intend to go again and again. Can't wait for my son to come back from college so that I can bring him here for some delicious Palestinian food.????

A wholesome, fresh eatery serving up shawarma, burgers, fries and shakes. We tried the Angus Beef Burger which featured a unique and fluffy pita bun and juicy Angus beef. The Zaatar fries were tossed in spice and crispy start to finish. The Baklava shake had the perfect sweetness and unlike what we had expected, with a Desi-esque flavor featuring pistachios. From the service to the decor and food, we felt Taheni nailed their Mediterranean eatery concept and we're lookingforward to chowing down again.

This is the best falafel I have ever tasted. I have tried falafel at Mamoun's, in the Middle East, and in the Mediterranean, but none compare to this. The falafel here is crispy on the outside and moist and flavorful on the inside. It's incredible. I also tried the chicken pita gyro, which was delicious. They offer a variety of authentic options and the staff were friendly and helpful. While I wouldn't necessarily recommend dining in, as the atmosphere isn't the best, I would definitely recommend getting takeout from here anytime. I've finally found my go-to Mediterranean spot on the south shore!
