Taboonette, the new casual spot in the village, is a perfect place for all the NYU students and locals. Serving "pocket food," meaning that most of the menu is served in a pita, this blend of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine is not only affordable, but also delicious. We suggest you try the Kebab Laffa, it is definitely the way to go if you are looking for a meat-centric "pocket". It is served with tahini, lamb shoulder, hangar steak, roasted vegetables and a salad with fresh mint topped with cilantro.
