We are SO excited to have discovered Tabouli!!!! Wonderful owners, staff and delicious authentic food!!!!! Cafe Mint was a favorite of my family's and we were so sad to see them close, so now to have Tabouli open in the same center is sooooo exciting and brings us such joy. We love the food and even more the feeling inside with the warmth of the chef and staff. Can't wait to be regulars here! read more

Delicious! Been waiting for a place like this in SC. Love the customizable bowls and sauces. Clean, friendly and yummy. I'll be back!

Great food and people! Accommodative and willing to help explain the different options.

A little out of the way in San Clemente. I tried the bowl. There were lots of good choices to come up with a delicious lunch. Very friendly server. read more

Went during a soft opening. Food was fresh, delicious. Good place for lunch. Not much inside seating though. Service was friendly. Would go again. read more

The food is amazing. Big portions, meat cooked perfectly, delicious sauces. But most of all, the customer service is incredible. Not sure if it was the owner working when I went in today but he was the only person working and he was so, so kind. I will definitely be back! read more

Wow wow wow this is fresh food done right! Chicken is moist and the bowl was a great portion size. Will be back often :)

Not bad, not great! Very healthy and fresh ingredients, but I felt like the chicken, rice, and garlic sauce were lacking in flavor. We ordered take out right before closing on a Friday though, so giving them the benefit of the doubt that it was just the last of the day's food. read more

Staying at an air bnb after being evacuated from the Palisades fire. Was in search for something yummy to brighten up our week, and came across Tabouli Kitchen on Google. Wow, it exceeded our expectations!!!! We were immediately greeted by the owners, who were so bubbly and enthusiastic. They were very helpful with our selections, and informed us that they make everything fresh on site! Our bowls were exploding with flavor. The falafel was made on the spot and was crispy on the outside, yet so nice and tender on the inside. The pairings of the sauces they recommended were incredible. This is a must-try in San Clemente!!! read more

Tabouli Kitchen - Mediterranean Near Me - San Clemente, California

I have been yearning for a healthy - fast casual spot in San Clemente that has high quality protein options and I finally found it!!!! The chicken kabobs, homemade fresh tabouli, tzatziki sauce, hummus and garlic sauce were the stars of the show! They also have a bowl option where you can pick your own base so you can make it healthy with arugula, quinoa, or mixed greens if you don't want rice!!! Similar to "chipotle" where you get to pick as many toppings as you want. I will be eating here several times a week moving forward :) read more

Place is a hidden gem! Gave this place a shot when they first opened and have been hooked ever since! Fresh ingredients, tasty, great customer service, clean, great price point for the portions given, and not to mention it's pretty close to where I live...bonus! Give them a shot, you won't regret it! read more

I couldn't wait for this spot to open. Their food is excellent. Chicken is seasoned very well. The gyro is tasty and the beef is great. My wife says it's the best hummus she's had. The gentleman behind the counter, who I believe is the owner, is very gracious and appreciative of the support. This is a go to spot for us. I can eat here every week. read more

Wowowow. Best Mediterranean food in Southern California. There I said it. The gyro is the best I've ever had. I've never had gyro served in chunks like this and it is perfection. All the toppings are so fresh and delicious. Especially love the pickled onions. Can't beat the price! We will drive out of our way to come here again 1000000% read more

The food was excellent. The service was amazing. I will be back here. Very fresh, reasonably priced, the gyro meat was tender and flavorful.

So yummy! This restaurant is right around the corner from my house. I knew it was there and had been waiting to try it. Went there with a few friends and it was absolutely delicious! I had the Pier bowl. Chicken Shawarma with a bunch of topping options for the bowl. All of the sauces were yummy but I had the lime cilantro and chimichurri sauces. They were delicious! Everything was fresh, and super tasty. I highly recommend and will be going back with my family! Oh, and the staff was crazy nice. So helpful in making recommendations and very generous with the portions. read more

Tried for the first time yesterday and boy did it not disappoint! The portions are large so you definitely get your money's worth. We tried the gyro wrap, the standard way it comes and it was delicious! Everything was cooked well and tasted fresh. We'll definitely be back. read more

I was excited to try for first time. I asked for a gyro. It was not that at all ... the meat was chunks not sliced the toppings were not what normally goes on and the flat bread used fell apart as soon as I tried yo eat it . It was not warm pita thick bread. The gyro was cold and I will not be returning ..,,,, read more

Tasty, fresh food along with friendly, welcoming service. Gyros was tender and flavorful. The chimichurri sauce was my favorite. This place is a gem! read more

We needed a place like tabouli in San Clemente. Chef Oscar is a local who previously worked for several great San Clemente restaurants. The service is great and the food is fantastic with lots of healthy choices. If you are on keto, trying to avoid carbs, great options if you want healthy carbs, great options as well. read more

Tasty and fresh food! Menu is simple and easy to order. Staff was super friendly. The issue for rating it a 3 star is that there's just not much special about it. They don't make their own pita bread. The online ordering is complicated. And none of the sauces necessarily stand out as terrific. Wanted it to be more, but only worth 3 stars. read more

We went back in Novemeber for one of my coworkers birthdays. We were very excited to try this new place that opened up in San Clemente. We got the family meal and had a little of everything. My favorite was the fresh Falafel. They had just made a fresh batch and the outside was nice and crispy. The tabouli wasn't bad and I didn't like the tzatziki all that much. Overall it was good but not my favorite. I might be back in the future. read more

We love Mediterranean food and we were so excited when we saw Tabouli opening up in our neighborhood. We just tried it for the first time tonight and it is AMAZING. The tabouli is so fresh and has the perfect combination of bulgar, parsley, garlic, lemon and other goodness.  We got the family meal with gyro meat and falafel and both were incredible. The hummus is so fresh and delicious with the perfect balance of chicken peas, tahini, garlic and other flavors.  And the pita bread is real Syrian bread, thin and perfect for making half pockets filled with whatever you want.  Growing up in a Lebanese house I am quite particular about my Mediterranean food and Tabouli has nailed it - and it's right down the street. Looking forward to many more meals at Tabouli. And by the way, the owner Oscar is so personable and provides great service.  I highly recommend Tabouli Kitchen! read more

food was excellent and service was great too. We went Sat evening for dinner and got chicken kebab and Beef Kebab . chicken was so juicy and Beef was so flavorful! no need to drive Irvine to go to Panini grill anymore . It's even better service here and quick and easy ! read more

Delicious...... coupled with great, friendly staff. Food is fresh and awesome.. you will be stuffed and satisfied....

The food here is amazing. The owner is super friendly and you can tell he's passionate. We needed a place like this in San Clemente!

Some of the best Mediterranean spots around. My family and I have been here multiple times and had almost everything here, which we have loved. The food is fresh + very high quality= healthy + good value. The owner, Oscar, is a great guy and very warm and welcoming. Great spot where you can get a meal and some fresh dips/spreads/dolmas that the family can snack on throughout this week. While it's about 15 minutes away, it's worth the drive and can't wait to come back next time. read more

Great and healthy food! It is so tasty and filling. I recommend the pier bowl with either the steak or chicken. The owner is super friendly. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

Went to try it out for lunch today and the food was GREAT! The workers were extremely nice as well and gave us recommendations and their favorites etc... I cant wait to come back again read more

Great new place in San Clemente found it on Yelp as I am so tired of the same stuff. Went in super nice employees and helpful in making my bowl. Sort of like cava but they are generous with the protein which is a huge plus. I hope they don't change as cava used to be better about that. I think the owner was there and super nice too. The food is amazing fresh and good quality meats. I got a chicken and gyro bowl and will get it again. Check this place out it is worthwhile and the people there are very nice. Prices are definitely worth it, good value and good quality. I will be coming back soon! read more

The Pier Bowl w Chicken was delicious! Lots of options for toppings and sauces which is great. Even more important, the food wasn't overly salty which makes this place a great healthy option. The staff was also very friendly and helpful. read more

Wow! Healthy and tasty! Amazing flavors and so fresh. Mediterranean all the way through. Love the kiss of lemon on the greens. The chicken was spiced beautifully and had amazing visual appeal. Portions were good. Left wanting more. Oink oink. This will definitely register as one of my go to lunch spots. read more

Unique, delicious flavors and exceptional service! I had the build-your-own pier bowl and it was amazing. A must try!
