Tabouli’s Grille

Tried this place randomly because we were looking for something new and different. The food is OUTSTANDING! Prices are reasonable for a very large portion of delicious food. Customer service was great as well, explaining how the combos work and recommending sides. Definitely will be returning.

OMG AMAZING. We are from Dearborn, Michigan, world’s largest Arab community. We have yet to find anything close to the food back home until we found this place. Hummus, chicken shawarma, garlic sauce were amazing. They also have baba ganoosh and fattoush that aren’t on the menu. Staff was great! This place is a must try

Yum :) my boyfriend and I loved our beef pitas! I really liked the bread pudding, it is bold in flavor so keep that in mind. The bottom tasted like honey and rose. If you don’t like rose flavor but you like honey you could try a baklava! I would visit again for sure.

Fabulous Mediterranean food. Everything is fresh and full of flavor. Since I travel a lot for work I always try to find places that are good for you and reasonable, this is both.

Glad to have a casual Lebanese place in the area, especially one where food is extremely fresh.
For two people the platter is an amazing deal with three kebabs, two sides and rice. Fairly priced and I really appreciate that the kebabs are grilled to order even if it adds a few more minutes to the wait.
Try the kibbe and avocado hummus.

The employees are terrible. Not well trained, do not know how to handle the food, and do not know their own menu.
The food quality is mixed, great if prepared right. The shawerma tastes great, they use good quality meat with a great marinade that works well, but the amount of meat they put in a $ 7 sandwich is laughable. A side of frozen fries is $ 4.
When an employee asked us if we came back to the place more than once because we really liked it, our reply was simply «no one else makes shawerma around here.» And that’s honestly it, we went there multiple times because we can’t find shawerma anywhere else. We strictly went there to satisfy a craving, and it barely does that.
You’re also limited to a choice of one sauce and three toppings (veggies). As you ask for one, you’re informed that you have two more to choose, and if you ask for hummus and tahini sauce, heaven forbid, you’re informed that you can only have one.
Last time we went my wife and I ordered the shawerma plates, which is a sandwich with a side of fries. The sandwich was decent, my fries were fine, my wife’s fries were undercooked. The owner of the place and what I assume is a relative were speaking in Arabic, unaware that we also spoke it, the younger relative asked the owner if the fries were cooked enough, and the owner told her that yes they were fine. They were still half frozen.
A young African American high school student manned the grill, and he was very rude to the owner, not sure what was going on there, but it made us very uncomfortable.
The two sandwiches, one cooked and one frozen side of fries, and a fountain drink totaled almost $ 30, which is insane for what is essentially a fast food joint.

Tabouli’s Grill makes me happy. I usually order the Beirut Pita. It’s a great mix of flavors. I love that they press the sandwich. I usually get a side of advocado hummus.
I’ve also had the falafel which was ok.

Great lunch spot, tends to get crowded but worth the wait. The manager introduced me to his chicken pita manager special and Ive been back several times to get same order or try something new.

The flavors are very good and I do like their food quite a bit. It’s definitely a great alternative to your typical things like subs, chipotle, etc… my only criticism is with the amount of food (particularly the meat in the pitas) for the price. I think that could be improved.
The lentil soup, avocado hummus, etc are great and so are a lot of the other items.
The staff is also super friendly!

a bit ‘skimpy’ on the main ingredient (meat), at least in the takeout. However, prices are good, quality is good. Do not miss the baklava, good stuff :)

Food is very fresh. Lentil soup was a little lemony for my taste, but still good. Restaurant is very clean and friendly staff. Spicy humus is very good and hubby really liked the chicken shawarma pita.

Wow I am quite impressed with the quality of food here. I was in the area and wanted a quick bite to eat for lunch. The sign on the door «Fresh and Healthy Mediterranean Food» caught my attention. Sure I’ll give it a try. I opted for the chicken shawarma pita with avocado hummus and Myyyy Golly it was delicious. The chicken itself was moist and seasoned well. Avocado hummus was tasty and added a nice flavor along with the mint leaves and garlic sauce in the pita. I asked for half of it to eat here and half to go but ended up eating the whole thing anyways… it was that good. The prices are reasonable and this place gets a big thumbs up from me.

Tabouli’s Grille is my go-​to lunch spot. I can’t speak highly enough about the flavors and freshness of all of the menu items I have tried. The owner (or manager, or both) runs the restaurant in an organized, clean and friendly fashion. If you’ve never been, they walk you through your options and your preferences, so customer service is not just friendly, but personalized, which is not how your typical «fast-​food» or «fast-​casual» operation runs.
It’s a bit in the style of Chipotle, in where menu items are presented in the menu board above, facing customers, but you can also personalize your meal. I tend to order the chicken schwarma pita (personalized) and this gives you an option of 5 toppings. Whatever you order, and whatever you do, you have GOT to try their Toum sauce (Lebanese/​Egyptian garlic emulsion sauce) — it is absolutely perfect. But you MUST love garlic, and you MUST be careful because it is so delicious you may go overboard, and that may be dangerous with garlic.
I wish I could give this place 4.5 stars, but it’s definitely deserving of more than 4 — thus my 5 star rating. Reason being that when they are busy (think lunch and dinner hours) it is no longer a fast service. Sure, relatively, it is fast, but because each meal is made to order, it does take time. So beware if you’re in a hurry. But quite frankly, the wait is absolutely worth it. You’re getting REAL food cooked with excellent ingredients and impressive customer service.
Definitely a MUST-​GO in the Altamonte area.

I LOVE this place. A hidden gem in the Altamonte Mall area. Fast, Fresh, Friendly — healthy and affordable too. Great customer service and they make everything in house…
The Lemon Lentil soup is the best lentil soup I’ve ever had. I like how they press their pita sandwiches too. I got the Create Your Own Falafel Pita with Mediterranean pickles, olives, spinach, onion/​cilantro mix, babaghanoush, and tahini. SO GOOD!
The person waiting on me even gave me housemade pita chips for my soup for no additional charge. Awesome!!!

WOW!!! That was the best meal I’ve had in a very long time! The staff were all so friendly, and we asked lots of questions about the food since it was our first time.
My wife ordered the beef shawarma, and on the chef’s recommendation, I ordered the combo platter with pita chips and hummus and grape leaves. I also ordered baklava for dessert.
Everything was cooked to perfection! The chef came to deliver our meal and gave us a side of their special garlic sauce — YUMMMMMM!!! The flavors in the combo platter were bursting in my mouth, each flavor distinct and not overpowering any of the others. The portions were very generous, and we took lots home in boxes.
I am so glad we made the decision to visit Tabouli’s Grille tonight! We will DEFINITELY be back!

This is an update to my previous review.
This place is by far one of the best in Orlando. The service was still great and the good was spot on. I think I found my new favorite Lebanese/​Mediterranean restaurant in Orlando.
As others have said before, the food is delicious and tastes homemade. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves Mediterranean/​Lebanese food.

I am giving this place 3 stars and not less because I think I may have just been there on a bad day or something. I came in around 830pm one evening and all though the service was friendly the food was less than satisfactory. The microwaved half my meal before giving it to me and I can understand why, the food did not taste fresh. I am disappointed that my experience wasn’t better because I love Mediterranean food and had some high hopes… I might give it a second chance, but it is unlikely.

This place is real close to where I work. So one day at lunch time I decided to stop by. It is a Mediterranean café with a Lebanese slant to it. I ordered a build it yourself salad with spring mix, kalamata olives, avocado hummus, falafel and greek dressing. I took it back to my workplace, and thoroughly enjoyed the salad.
I noticed that they have gyros and other assorted meats. Will try this on my next visit.

The food is absolutely good. I had a Falafel Heaven Pita that tasted delicious, and then I ate a fresh Baklava. Probably the best Arabic food in town. The portions aren’t that big, but the prices are small so it is good. The only reason I don’t give it 5 stars is because it runs very slow. It seems to be a family owned business or something, but there was only one person attending customers in front while the others were back in the kitchen working.
Nice parking space and the place doesn’t get too busy.

They need to figure out their ordering system, or have more people. Its a bit slow and unorganized.
Ingredients are fresh, but its a tad over price for what its worth especially if you were to make it a combo.
