The restaurant’s name refers to the name of an antique stove used to bake Arabic bread. It’s common at homes in the Middle East and that’s the one they use at El Tabun Restaurant in order to make bread, that is served along a variety of exquisite salads and different middle eastern dishes. El Tabun’s exquisite decor, bringing the Arabic world to Medellin, divides the place in two different ambiances, contrasting antique and modern Arab scenes. Belly dancing and jingly jewelery slowly hypnotizes visitors into a different world, or at least a different city. As special treat for their clients, El Tabun offers Arab dance nights, that are performed only on weekends.
