Taboon Noon O Kabab is a family favorite. The menu items are very common in Persian/Iranian cuisine such as kababs, shirazi salad, bread/naan, etc. I recommend this place to anyone interested in trying new foods. The food is not spicy, it is rather tangy and seasoned adequately. I would recommend the platter where the different meat kababs are mixed. You get vegetables, rice with saffron, shirazi salad, white yogurt, and meat. The platter is pretty big, so if you know your appetite is not that big, sharing this meal with another person is feasible. The workers are patient and they work very hard, it's also located in Hoover.

If you haven't tried Taboon Noon O Kabab make it your next lunch plan! The staff is the nicest, and everything on the menu is high quality. This is up there with the best Persian food I've had around the US. The pies are great but I think I preferred the meat one, it was packed full and bursting with flavor. The Kababs are so good too. They taste like some major preparation went into them. We have been multiple times and happy to have them in the ham!

If you don't like kebab; Chengdu Chinese Cuisine is next door. You lose nothing by going to Taboon, the grilled meats are great. (I just get the soltani special)

On a drive down to the beach for a short getaway, husband and I were looking for a spot to stop for dinner. I keep a running bookmark list of Birmingham restaurants and this one hit the all the requirements! We pulled off the highway into a small shopping center and found our way inside. The menu is moderately sized with lots of middle eastern favorites. I fancy myself somewhat familiar with the cuisine but I'm certainly happy to learn and try more; there were a few dishes available I wasn't familiar with and I enjoyed doing a light Google to educate myself. You order at the counter here. They seem to do a very brisk takeout business. There's seating inside and a few tables on the patio. We originally intended to eat inside but wound up moving because unfortunately something smelled really bad and wrong, almost like natural gas, inside the restaurant. I don't necessarily think this was their fault -- we noticed some workers doing something on the roof of the building, and all the food smelled as wonderful as you'd expect -- but we moved outside just to be safe. I wanted a chicken koobideh kabob instead of a regular chicken kabob (the difference seems to be koobideh is ground chicken and spices rather than a hunk of chicken), but through a somewhat confusing conversation with the employee, managed to figure out they didn't have any. So I wound up with a regular chicken kabob; husband got beef koobideh kabob; and we split an order of hummus. I say the conversation was confusing because neither employee spoke much English at all, such to the point that I had to use my even more-limited Spanish skills to realize they were saying "no tengo" to the chicken koobideh. They were very kind and apologetic and we eventually figured out how to move forward and help each other, but if you're looking for a detailed description of the food or anything, make sure you speak Spanish here, lol. I heard them very desperately trying to communicate what was spicy and what wasn't to a very confused group of folks as I left. That being said, they got our order right and it came out in a very reasonably time, especially considering the sheer volume of carryout they were cranking out. Our kebabs came with extra complementary taboon bread, which went great with our leftover hummus. The food is honestly worth 5 stars. It was delicious. The rice was fluffy and delicate, each kabob was bursting with flavor, the hummus was smooth and delicious, and the Shirazi salad (diced tomato and cucumber) was so refreshing! My chicken was incredible -- cooked absolutely perfectly, still juicy but with crispy parts, too. Despite a few roadblocks in atmosphere and communication, we very much enjoyed our visit here and would happily return. Give them a try if you like or are interested in experiencing Persian food.

I'm addicted!!! It's hard to find difference places to eat when you work in retail ,This is a gem. This time I had the chicken kebab sandwich and of course the shirazi salad( I could eat this by itself). It was a little expensive for lunch $22. But it is made to order fresh. No photos because I couldn't stop eating. If you are looking to experience Persian food, please give this place a try.

Southern Living named this restaurant to the Top 30 Restaurants in Birmingham, so we had to try it. Tucked away in a strip mall in Hoover, it's conveniently located right off of I-65. We stopped by at lunch and were the first folks to arrive. The menu is exotic- that is, apart from hummus and kabobs, we really didn't know what anything else was, and while there were some photos, it didn't give us a good idea of what the dishes were like. For our next visit, I'll do a little research first. My two teenage sons and I ordered hummus, chicken, kebabs, and two orders of steak kebabs. The kebabs come as either a sandwich, plate, or entrée. We ordered the entrée combos. We got so much food! The hummus was super creamy and served with whole wheat pita triangles. The kabobs were outstanding! The chicken was a little dry but super flavorful. The steak was delicious. The kabobs were served with a massive amount of white rice and a vegetable kabob, white onions, pickles, and a cucumber salad. All were so delicious and fresh tasting!

Taboon somehow just gets better and better, everything on the menu I've tasted, quickly becomes a new favorite
