    What a gem of a spot! The hubby and I went on a Friday for lunch. I ordered the shakshouka pita, which was absolutely delicious! So flavorful and well seasoned. The hubby ordered the shawarma platter with french fries. He literally ate everything on his plate because he said it was all so tasty! We really loved that they set the table with a sample of assorted pickled veggies, pita bread, cole slaws, and dipping sauce. We both left lunch feeling stuffed in the most satisfying way. I must also add that we had a lovely server who was very attentive and polite. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed the meal and can’t wait to come back!

    Delicious kosher Mediterranean and a wonderful location. BYOB (kosher) is allowed. Some seasonal changes. The Siniya hummus bowl is out of this world.

    Tavlin is great. Relatively quiet. Food is always fresh and good. It is my "go to" place in Bergen County for a meat meal.

    Tavlin remains the most consistently good kosher Middle Eastern experience in the area. The atmosphere is that of a warm, caring proprietor who prioritizes quality and customer experience.

    We enjoyed the meal very much and the service was warm and responsive. The ambiance could be enhanced by a style makeover but this factor was not enough to spoil our enjoyment of the evening. Overall 4 stars. Recommended. We will eat there again for sure.

    Poor service. It's not much to check in with your table. Very frustrating to be completely abandoned.
