Taboon Modern Middle Eastern Cafe

What Taboon Modern Middle Eastern Cafe does

Taboon Modern Middle Eastern Cafe operates a single open-plan cafe and restaurant at Shop 20, Easy T Centre, 514 Christine Avenue, Robina, Queensland 4226, Australia. The establishment serves a general consumer base — local Gold Coast residents and visitors — with a menu of creative Middle Eastern cuisine, including items such as labneh dip, mixed dips, and grilled lamb skewers marinated in sumac, garlic, and rosemary. The brand positions itself around a sensory dining experience, combining Middle Eastern music and kitchen aromas with a broad menu designed to cover diverse occasions.

The business runs on a traditional restaurant operating model. It is open Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00am to 8:00pm (closed Mondays), employs 11 staff, and reports no proprietary technology stack. Digital channels are limited to standard third-party SaaS: a Wix-hosted marketing website, an OpenTable integration for table reservations, and an OrderUp storefront (taboon.orderup.com.au) for online pickup ordering. Customer acquisition is driven by local foot traffic, organic social presence on Instagram and Facebook, word-of-mouth, and gift card purchases.

Commercially, revenue is generated entirely from food and beverage sales to consumers across three formats: dine-in, online pickup, and gift card purchases. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is communicated via an in-house PDF menu. There is no public listing, no parent company, no disclosed investors, and no evidence of funding rounds, acquisitions, or external ownership structure. The business is privately held, with no management team publicly disclosed beyond a general contact email ([email protected]) and phone line.
