Rude, rude employees and disgusting chicken over rice with white sauce. Took it home and tried eating but threw away half the plate as food was cold and stale. I wonder how they are still in business. No responses from the owner of the business for negative customer feedbacks from the reviews speak volume about how this business is run and its not good. Maybe the owner owns the building. Ended up getting mcdonalds for dinner instead. This business should not sell food to people and I think alot of the negative reviews on this place speak for themselves

Horrible food, Portions, prices and service. Found hair and a roach in my food. Luckily did not call the health dept on them. Be cautious and know what your paying for.

I am a doctor. Eat from them if you want Ecoli and want to be admitted in the hospital. Extremely ill mannered and rude staff. On asking the guy to wear gloves because his hand was all over the box in which he was packing food he yelled at me to go someplace else or come when his shift is over. Even the customer around said thats extremely rude. When I called later to talk to the manager about this issue this man who works mornings and has a beard found my number from the caller list and called me back and started yelling on the phone.
Will not recommend 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

I had the chicken salad, it was great! Very fresh and filling! I would ask for extra lettuce because the additional toppings you can add plus the protein is a lot. The hot sauce is absolutely delicious too!

LOVE LOVE LOVE TAHENI! The food is amazingly delicious. The owners are the nicest, most friendliest anyone can ever meet. Their restaurant is always clean. Just over all great experience at Taheni. Hold up! Did I mention their Kunafah? Most delicious my family and I have ever had! Definitely worth every penny!!

Pictured: chicken platter - $12, steak shawarma wrap - $11, zatar fries - $4, mango lassi & baklava shake

Taheni Mediterranean Grill recently opened up its third location in the Staten Island Mall Food Court. You can customize your entire meal by choosing the type of rice, hummus and sides you want in your platter or wrap. The chicken was a little dry but the rest of the platter was very flavorful. The steak wrap was delicious - especially with their garlic sauce. The zatar fries are a must! The mango lassi was a 10/10 - definitely preferred it over the baklava shake. The service was quick and they have Ziosks to make the ordering process even easier. Definitely check them out! 🌯

We ordered angus burger and chicken tenders, burgers were decent and we enjoyed it. However the chicken tenders were so badly charred burned, then we showed them what they gave us, they offered us to order something else instead. So we ordered eggplants, and they were also nearly burned and full of grease. And oil had the sour taste to it, i guess it is due for them to change the oil. I was disappointed that they dont care what they serving to people in exchange for their money.
Giving them a higher star bc burger was better

Decent food quality- not authentic lamb meat, uses the same lamb meat as halal carts, but nothing spectacular about the lamb wrap. Alot of Arab delis do the same.
There were flies in the restaurant that were attacking me unfortunately. They don't pick up phones and don't take your order, you go to a computer screen. So that's why all together 3 stars given for customer service not being there.

Ordered the chicken and rice, pretty damn good! Except there were HUGE chunks of onion and green peppers on the side, along with some black olives, lettuce, and chickpeas.

We have to talk about their sauces because no one’s really mentioned it yet which I feel is a cardinal sin because their Shattah sauce is a tiny little container of PERFECTION.

Seriously they need to find a distributor and bottle it up, because I’d be first in line at the grocery store. Or even just sell bottles of it. It’s so good there are times I’ve gotten food elsewhere but will do an entire order of just that darn sauce because nothing else compares. Buffalo who? Sriracha where? A1 what?? I’m officially ruined for life because I don’t know how my tastebuds will survive in the future without it. Beware it’s spicy (I have high spice tolerance so to me it’s just a slight kick). TMG & Taheni Sauces are also mouthwateringly delicious. But garlic sauce I wasn’t a fan of.

Zaatar fries are fantastic, though their shawarma fries are my go-to. Deliciously crispy and more filling since it’s topped with chicken and tons of that delicious TMG sauce.

For the wraps, I’ve had better in my life, but these are quite solid. Probably second best I’ve had in the neighborhood (best by a mile is Kotti Berliner Döner Kebab, and is so good you might actually cry - so very hard to beat). Chicken option is good, though I do find it doesn’t have much seasoning on its own and is definitely helped by sauces. Gyro option is great, though you can tell its not high quality meat - kinda has that common mystery meat texture. Great flavor though! Steak…not so no good - meat was pretty unseasoned and relied heavily on the sauces & fillings for flavor. Not worth it given the higher cost. I’d go for gyro if you want beef. Same applies to the platters.

Their TMG Chicken sandwich is nice but I kinda wish it had an option for a regular bun, as the cheese pita is a cool idea but a bit too heart attack inducing. Same with the Halloumi fries - would be nice to have a basic grilled option with no breading & deep frying.

5 stars for food, 3 stars for delivery/takeout as they deliver fast but are very unresponsive. Have called on different occasions and no one’s ever picked up. Have also added order notes (like asking the halloumi cheese not be fried) that go ignored. Hopefully that improves.

I had the chicken and lamb combo which includes rice, falafel and a salad. The food was made fresh. This dish was very good with the white sauce and hot sauce on top. I almost ate the entire dish before I remembered to take a photo.
Ordered lamb chops with rice. Got burnt rice and raw meat full of fat. Cant even take a bite. tried calling the store to complain but no response. the portion of rice too small. these guys are so generous to give 1 side of white and hot sauce. paid $14.99 on uber eats for this burnt and raw meal..everything went in trash... such a disappointment. the owner must take action against it.

Olive oil made the food extra lite, plus it didn't leave that taste of oily residue on the tongue. The staff was courteous to me and was efficient at handling multiple task. This varies on whose behind the counter, because each membership of the staff gives you level of service. The store was clean, seating is limit so no large party, the have an atm machine on site, cashless payment is accepted and if that is not enough, they use a variety food delivery service. I had a good experience so go in and try out what's on the menu.

The falafel tastes so fresh. I had the wrap and dined in. They bring your food to the table. My partner had the steak platter. The woman working the front desk was kind and answered many of our questions since I'm vegan. The cool thing about this place is ordering food on the kiosk.

Woooooooooah daddy! This place is awesome. Definitely one of the best shawarma wraps I’ve ever had. It’s super clean and the staff is really nice. Prices are very fair especially for this area. No complaints here. I highly recommend it!
