Amazing food and very friendly host at the front.
I admit, I was a bit skeptical. How could a Palestinian restaurant make such highly rated burgers? I was tempted to try one of their more Palestinian dishes, but in the end my curiosity won out and we got the double burgers.
Wow! Truly one of the very best smash style burgers my son and I have ever tried. The thicker pita bread stands up to the juicyness of the patties and the toppings. Lovely texture and flavor. The patties are the star of the show. Perfect fat to meat ratio and cooked with a nice char. Very generous amount of cheese. The fried onions were nicely caramelized and the sauce they use is in the right amount and adds the right amount of tang with the tomato and lettuce to counter the salt and fat content. This burger could stand up to the very best burgers made anywhere and not back down an inch. Phenomenal.
The fries were very crispy and high quality. Not cheap McDonald’s style fries you get in a lot of burger places. My son got the Shawarma topping fries with Shawarma bits and a sauce on top. Absolutely delicious!
The baclava deserts we ordered were the basic version. Not the chocolate and hazelnut added ones they also have. We have had many baclavas over the years. My son and I agreed these were the best flavored baclavas we have ever had. Perfectly crispy. The filling was thick and full of flavor with a hint of cinnamon and honey. Absolutely crave worthy. I talked to the guy at the front desk and he told me they make them in house. I totally believe it!
If only this restaurant was closer to us on the west coast of Canada. I would be coming back here very often if I did and trying everything on the menu! Highly, HIGHLY recommended.
Edit: We came back the next day to order some different food items before we left for our flight to see how consistent they are. Very pleased to report it was just as good!!! And they were so friendly and welcoming again. I so wish they had a location in Vancouver Canada. LOL. ❤️

A consistently delicious local spot that is quick and affordable but does not skimp on quality. Whether it’s the lamb kofta burger, the garlic chicken wrap, the fried chicken slider and fries, or keep it simple as their falafel are seasoned well and a perfect poppable size. Staff are incredibly nice, and the music is both inviting as it is hip-moving. They recently expanded and have much more seating available.

Taheni is hands down one of the best spots I’ve tried! The garlic chicken wrap was unbelievably flavorful, juicy, perfectly seasoned, and wrapped just right. The halloumi was fresh and delicious, with that perfect golden crisp. And the Biscoff shake? Absolutely insane. Sweet, creamy, and honestly one of the best shakes I’ve ever had.
I also love that Taheni is Palestinian owned. you can really feel the passion and authenticity in every bite. On top of that, the customer service was perfect. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and made the whole experience even better.
Highly recommend this place. I’ll definitely be back!

10/10 absolutely amazing definitely recommend they have kunafah pancakes shawarma burger, which are things I’ve never heard of or seen, especially if someone that grew up in the Middle East, But a 10 out of 10 absolutely amazing. Will recommend over and over again and again aside from that they are Palestinian and they don’t sell Coca-Cola. They sell Turkish cola because they don’t support a genocide.which we love and support ❤️❤️❤️

Very delicious burger and excellent service. Brother Hamza did everything perfectly, and I really liked it. Most importantly, the place is clean, cozy, and has a welcoming atmosphere. You can really taste the quality of the meat—it’s very good. I truly enjoyed the burger and want to thank this establishment. Thank you very much, and I wish you prosperity and

Went here with a couple of buddies for dinner and was blown away by the quality and service. We ordered the Chicken sandwich and fries, a couple of burgers (with add ons), a meat platter with rice, and a strawberry shake. The person that took our order was running a one man show because he was in the kitchen too. We waited a little bit on the longer side, partially due to the amount of food we ordered, but another group was having dinner as well. Because of the wait, the chef/cashier gave us a loaded fries on the house. When the food came out, we were blown away by the flavor and freshness. The chicken sandwich was crunchy and extremely juicy. The burger, which had bacon and fried halloumi cheese was amazing. The strawberry shake was a 10/10 as well. Also, their sauces are incredible. Highly recommend this place. They are doing a fantastic job and deserve all the recognition.

Taheni is honestly one of the best restaurants I’ve been to in Long Island. The food tastes fresh, authentic, and full of flavor. You can tell they use high quality ingredients and take pride in what they serve. The atmosphere is welcoming, clean, and comfortable, and the staff is genuinely kind and attentive. They take their time with you and make sure you feel taken care of, not rushed.
Everything we ordered came out perfectly. The portions were great, the presentation was clean, and every single bite had depth and real home-style taste. It felt like a meal you look forward to and remember after.
If you’re looking for real Middle Eastern food made with care, this is the place. I highly recommend Taheni to anyone in the area.
