This meal was amazing!! Everything was so perfectly cooked and seasoned and there was so much flavour variety 🤤🍽️✨ Also really enjoyed their cocktails 🥂 But it was the service that was truly a 10/10 for me - these guys know what they’re doing 🫡 Thank-you very much for a lovely dinner 🙏🏼

I hosted a small business dinner at Taline with a colleague from out of town and a few locals. It was a really wonderful experience- intimate, warm hospitality and the food was just incredible. This is more a place for a quiet chat and that suited our vibe perfectly. The menu is both familiar and exotic at the same time. Many of the dishes will be readily recognizable to most people - hummus, tzatziki , etc - but they are prepared in an Armenian style and an elevated presentation style which made for a memorable experience. But don’t be shy when ordering, there are uniquely Armenian dishes to be discovered that are delightful as well. We went for a tasting menu program and our host walked us through a memorable set of dishes. All I can say is save room for dessert because it is a bit of a show stealer.

Was not sure what to expect but had several people recommend this restaurant. Went with friends and we were not disappointed. Staff were friendly and helpful. Small restaurant with open kitchen to see the chef in action. Comfortable non rushed dining experience. Went for the tasting menu with a wine bottle pairing. An excellent choice and good value given other tasting menus I have had. Food came out at a nice pace. Staff explained each dish, answered questions. Each dish was well prepared and presented. A mix of textures and flavours. Just excellent. Highly recommend. Should mention cocktails very tasty and wine selection is great.

We had an amazing experience at Taline. We originally wanted to order two main dishes, but the maître d told us to go with one main dish and add a few appetizers, which was a great idea. All the dishes were flavourful and perfectly cooked. The service was also great.

Excellent experience and they clearly deserved the Michelin guide nod. An exceptional atmosphere and menu that really elevates their cuisine. You absolutely must have the kibbeh nayeh. The closest thing is beef tartare, but it is so surprisingly flavourful and like nothing I’ve ever had before. A bit of spice, creaminess and bursting with flavour. A must try dish. Mante and patates were also big recommendations. The flavourful and fatty beef was well balanced with the citrus flavour. A really unique way to have dumplings. The potatoes were definitely elevated and were seasoned really well. Will definitely have to come back to try the lamb, as I see many people recommending it as one of the best lamb dishes they’ve ever tried

The food was incredible—every single dish we ordered was high quality, flavorful, and beautifully presented. We tried the Hummus, Fattoush Salad, Gedzou Patates, Banru, and Tsoug (whole grilled fish), and each one was simply outstanding. They absolutely nailed the flavors, making it one of the best meals I’ve had recently. I’m already looking forward to my next visit! The space itself is super chic, and the service was outstanding, making for a warm, welcoming experience. My only gripe is that it’s a small space and quite loud—I struggled to hear my husband, which made having a conversation tough. But the food was well worth it!

AMAZINGG!!! This place is a great combination of middle eastern and Armenian cuisine. I bet they have Michelin star chefs. Great food. Really High quality. Amazing staff. We loved the atmosphere. It would be an amazing location for a cozy, casual, sheik date night. And, also great for a friend/family gathering. We chose this restaurant completely out of the blue, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. WILL DEFINITELY VISIT AGAIN. We got the Davar, Imam Bayildi, ASHTA TART…. You should visit before it gets packed. Cheers

Outstanding food and service. I previous wanted to come here for a birthday celebration but they didn't have availability for my preferred time, but I came here recently for a different birthday celebration and I can't be happier! The food was absolutely phenomenal. They nailed the flavour, craftsmanship, and presentation. Each dish had a distinct profile and style, while not comprising on how well the ingredients went together. I love that they are bold with the colours of the food. I mean - yes, white and black is great, not everything has to be artificially blue and pink and purple! The wine by the glass selection was not the best but love that there's an Armenian and a Lebenon selection! Great way to try the not so typical wine region wines. Need to be back for a bottle of something special. The service and the atmospheric was top notch. Our server went through the entire menu which I felt bad, but he had soo much passion! Will definitely be back and continue to recommend.
