We were really excited to try Tabbouleh in Webster, especially since this style of food is something we truly love. Being right on Main Street in the older part of the village means parking can be a bit of a hassle near the busy intersection, but once you get past that, you're rewarded with a genuinely lovely space. The interior is warm, inviting, and thoughtfully done, and the menu offers a wide range of options that immediately makes you start planning future visits.
We decided on the Vegetarian Combo Plate because it had the greatest variety of things we enjoy--falafel, dolma, hummus, baba ghanouj, Greek salad, and tahini sauce. We also ordered a side of tabbouleh, which struck us as an odd omission from the combo plate given how central it is to this cuisine and how much we love it. A side of tzatziki rounded things out for one of our diners who considers it essential.
The food was excellent across the board. The falafel was nicely prepared, and the grape leaves--done a little differently than what we're used to--were extremely craveable. The baba ghanouj had a wonderful texture, and the hummus was truly fantastic, rich and flavorful in a way that stood out. The tabbouleh was bright, punchy, and absolutely one of the stars of the meal; we might actually prefer their version over others in the area. The Greek salad was beautifully dressed, and the feta on it was exceptional.
We did have a couple of small quibbles. A scoop of tabbouleh really feels like it should be part of the combo plate, though ordering it on the side is easy enough. And we definitely needed more pita--double, honestly--as the baba, hummus, and tabbouleh were so good that the provided amount didn't go far. Next time, we'll simply add an extra order.
And there will absolutely be a next time. This place was fantastic, and we're already looking forward to returning. Service was friendly and prompt, which only made an already great meal even better. read more
