Taboon Restaurant and Cafe

Taboon is Sri Thanu’s go-to for Israeli comfort food — an easy stop on the main road when you want something fresh, filling, and friendly. Think warm pitas baked daily, silky hummus, and falafel that actually tastes like the chickpeas saw some sunshine. It’s the kind of place you drift into after Zen Beach, order a mint lemonade, and end up staying longer than planned. The menu runs from proper Israeli breakfasts and shakshuka to chicken schnitzel, lamb kebabs, organic salads, and loaded pita sandwiches. Vegans do well here, and regulars know to grab extra pitas for the table and save room for dessert — they churn their own ice cream and it’s worth the detour. There’s barista coffee if you’re parking up with a laptop, and a small, well-priced wine list for unrushed dinners. Service is relaxed and genuine, with backgammon boards and even an acoustic guitar inviting you to linger. Open daily from 11am until 3am, it’s a reliable late-night option when most of Srithanu winds down. Find it at 44/1 Moo 8 in Srithanu, a straightforward stroll from the 7‑Eleven and the sunset crowd at Zen Beach.
