50% off authentic Middle Eastern food at Tabun Kitchen
Middle Eastern food is fast becoming a staple of London's foodie scene — and Tabun Kitchen in Soho is a major part of that.
They specialise in Jerusalem-style street food, from falafel with a delicious sumac onion centre to authentic Palestinian musakhan chicken. If you're not accustomed with Palestinian food, this is the perfect jumping off point. Food is dished up with the familiarity of a home-cooked Middle Eastern meal — after all, their recipes come from founder Hanan Kattan's family archives.
For November, Tabun Kitchen are running a special promotion for Londonist readers: you get 50% off your main course. You could use those savings when buying Christmas presents from the nearby Soho and Oxford Street shops, or go for the true Middle Eastern experience and just order two mains. Whatever you decide, this food will warm and delight you on these cold winter nights.
Terms and conditions: Offer subject to availability, and only valid for dinner bookings from 7-30 November 2016. Offer applicable to eat in only and applies to food only. Offer not to be used in conjunction with any other promotion. Offer excludes drinks purchased. Any drinks ordered will be charged at normal price. Offer exclusive to Londonist readers. Please book in advance quoting "Londonist 2016" on 0207 324 7767/ [email protected]
