It is kind of difficult to find in the mall, considering there's no entrance from the outside. It took us awhile to get around. The staff was super friendly. The place had a soothing ambiance. We decided to share several dishes between the two of us. Tried the roasted cauliflower, barbecued meat, hummus dip, and cabbage rolls. The prices are fairly reasonable if you decide to go the shareable route, otherwise, dishes for one can be on the pricier side and not as filling. I think this experience is meant for trying a variety of foods. Nonetheless, it was a good first experience trying Middle Eastern food. The first of many. read more

Tabule Middle Eastern Cuisine - Middle Eastern Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Visited Fri Feb 24 dinner for 2. This place just opened a few weeks ago after being under construction for several months, this location is not even listed on their corporate website yet! You're hearing about it on Yelp first! We sat on the patio area, which is like a dining area in the hallway of Bayview Village. The inner dining room was packed and it would have been a 30 min wait. There was a mix of people of various cultures eating here which was very surprising. There is a large bar in the centre of the restaurant. Pros Tabule - very fresh and tasty. One of their signature dishes since the restaurant is also named Tabule. Fried eggplant - comes with 6 pieces, they looked really dark/burnt. Once you bite into the eggplant, it melts in your mouth. Kefta - comes with 6 pieces of meat, very tender and flavourful. Cons The noise level is a bit high since it's open to the mall. Some of the menu items were very foreign to me, so take your time to ask questions about the menu. Not sure why ice cubes came in a separate cup, usually ice water just comes with the ice in the water. Not much privacy on the patio. You wouldn't believe the number of shoppers that would be eyeing the new restaurant and the interesting food we were eating. Location has been very busy, may be tough to get a table during peak times. Protip - Watch as they pour water from the traditional ibrik. Damage = $33 before tip. read more

Tabule Middle Eastern Cuisine - Fried eggplant. - Middle Eastern Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

First visit to Tabule on Bayview and it was great! We got a combination of many different things from falafels to the sample platter with tabule, labni and hummus and the main dish kefta. Everything tasted amazing and loved the spices in the kefta and how well it was cooked. It came with rice and vegetables and tasted good together. The pita that comes with the sample platter could have been warmed and would have tasted better with the dips. They give you a multi grain and white pita bread. Overall great atmosphere and service. Will definitely be coming back to enjoy their other dishes. Oh and also the meat is halal!! read more

My friends and I came here to try their Winterlicious lunch menu. We had reservations, and it was already busy but we were seated quickly. I started with the combination plate, which included falafel, hummus, tabbouleh salad and baba ghanoush. I especially like the hummus, which was super-fresh, along with the other items on my plate. It was a nice portion for an appetizer, that I forgot I had a main coming up. My entree was the salmon kebab, served with rice and salad on the side. All of it was very tasty. I wish I had a larger portion of the salmon, but it was cooked and seasoned well. The rice had some caramelized onions on top, which added a nice touch to the dish. I had the baklava for dessert, and I was happy that it was a small portion considering how much food I ate! Overall, I was happy with my dining experience at Tabule. I felt I got a good value for the price I paid for my meal read more

The service was horrible. I came by myself to have a small personal celebratory meal and unfortunately they are VERY short staffed. I had the cold appetizer sampler: humus, babganuj and tabular with warm pita- which was fabulous and flavourful. On the side Moroccan mint tea steeped to perfection. I had hoped to have dessert but my frustration was too high as no one came to take my dessert order almost 15 mins after I'd requested to. Upon speaking to the manager, I came to understand how short staffed they are and how challenging he's found it to find experienced servers. He generously comped my meal as an apology for the service gap( generous me unnecessary) and I left a tip for the server. So phenomenal food, but would recco coming with a lot of patience and time if you do. read more

I barely eat Middle Eastern and so barely that my brother will ask me ten times until I show him the receipt. But yes, when I go for Middle Eastern cuisine, that's because I'm so urging to try something other than almighty and trendy Italian or new Asian dishes. Also, the way Middle Eastern preps the meats taste pretty clean and assuring! In terms of the food we've received, I would actually give 4 stars. Well seasoned veal and they were perfectly grilled to medium. In fact I also liked the rice although I avoid having rice in general. Then what in the name of god it lands down to 2 stars?! The speed of the service was mediocre at its best. I could've had 7 mushroom soup at o&b and 2 pad Thai at Thai express next door, top it up with 3 shots of espresso at Aroma, walk out to Sheppard to grab a smoke and come back to the restaurant and the foods wouldn't be ready yet. I guess I could grocery shop at pusateri on the other side of the building as well! Sorry guys although the amazing quality of the foods but the service speed simply ruined it all the way. I think this is something they definitely have to work on. read more

Consistently great food at this location! It gets a little busy during midd at due to office traffic, but still highly recommended. The Falafel is probably the best in town... Fresh and soft always. Chicken Tawuk is delicious and tender. Tabule is truly one of our favs! read more

I mean, the prices aren't astronomically high, but they aren't super cheap either. I eat a lot of Middle-Eastern food in Scarborough, where it's authentic and cheap, so I'm not quite sure what I was expecting from here, other than nicer ambiance than I'm used to. Between five people, we ordered the sampler platter ($14.95), the hallum salad ($10.95), the ma'anek ($7.50), the grilled salmon kebabs ($18.95), the lahmeh ($18.95), and the eggplant main ($15.50). We weren't starving when we left, but we weren't particularly full either. The sampler platter sounds more impressive than it actually is. You get to choose three out of the four items: hummus, babaganoush, tabule, and labni. We got the first three. For $14.95, I'm not at all impressed with the portion. The hummus was alright, but I prefer Me Va Me's. I like the babaganoush here more because it's got a more smokey eggplant taste, but my dad preferred Me Va Me's. I can't comment on the tabule because I was on a strict no-sour no-bitter food diet that day, so I played it safe. The platter did come with an endless supply of whole wheat and white pitas, but that only does so much to impress me when the sit down Me Va Me at Bathurst and Steeles does an endless supply of freshly baked laffa. I'm comparing this to basically the exact same dish at Me Va Me, if you're wondering why I keep dropping that name. There are more options there to sample from as well... The hallum salad was arugula and cheese. It's the least attractive salad starter I've seen at an establishment of this caliber. More color and texture would have helped a lot. The hallum was the saltiest I've ever had. I love arugula so I can't complain there. My aunt rather enjoyed this. I did as well, but it could have been much better. The ma'anek is marketed as ground beef with Middle Eastern spices and pine nuts. They're cocktail wiener sized little sausages. They were tasty, but for like 6-7 sausages, they're rather overpriced. The predominant spice was cinnamon here. We substituted the rice that came with the salmon kebabs for salad. Bad idea. Dad said the salad was really sour. The salmon wasn't dry, but it doesn't stand out for being amazing either. Two skewers here, if I recall correctly. The lahmeh, two veal tenderloin skewers, came with rice and grilled veggies. There could have been more rice. All in all, a very solid dish, but I could get similar for at least $5 cheaper, so I expected to be more impressed. The eggplant was our favorite of the night. It was drizzled with tahini and came on a bed of mujaddara (lentil and onion rice) and topped with pomegranate seeds. This was rather pretty. The eggplant is fried straight up, and it's juicy and delicious. I'm a sucker for fried eggplant. The mujaddara was a hit with everyone. We could have ordered a few more of these. This was alright for the price, I think, but it still could have been significantly cheaper. With my cousin's Caesar, we came to about $110 before tips, I think. Not including the Caesar, I think I could have had a meal of a similar caliber for about 3/4 of the price elsewhere, but for the location, I suppose it's alright. read more

I've been here a few times now and the food is quite good. Terribly disappointed in the service today, however. Our waiter had only a few tables yet never came around to see if we wanted more bread (we did), more drinks (I did), or anything else. The real annoyance was that I came by the restaurant the day before and spoke with the hostess to arrange a table. I asked for a table to accommodate my toddler and a highchair. I was told that they always put kids in a specific area and even a specific table that would work best. She said she would arrange that on my reservation as well. Came in today and there were three adult women drinking tea at the table I had arranged. The hostess today said she had no idea what I was talking about, didn't apologize and essentially could not have given less of a shit. Very unimpressed with the total lack of professionalism and won't be back again. read more

Amazing! Loved every bite- I'm here on business and have to quarantine for 14 - I'm so sad it took me 8 days to find this place. I ordered delivery to my hotel and the grapes were still warm on arrival! This is honestly the best meal I have had in over a week! I can't wait to order again tomorrow!! read more

EXTREMELY POOR SERVICE -poor service from start to finish -all the servers are rude and not very attentive -the service is extremely slow -it looked as if all the servers have not been properly trained -it took them 10 minutes to get us the bill\ -then it took them another 3 minutes to get the credit card machine -the restaurant is not children friendly at all -it's very noisy, as noisy as a sports bar - you cannot talk there...you have to yell -the food was just so so, not great value for your $$$ -overall, FIVE THUMBS DOWN -will not go again read more

I would give this location a much lower rating than the downtown location. For the most part, their small plates were consistent. Fried cauliflower and hummus were good, but the pita was not warm. However, pretty hard to mess up these two things... We also had the eggplant main with mujdarrah. It was not good (and it normally is amazing at the other location). Vegetables were BARELY grilled (I.e. Huge chunks of raw onions = very bad news). The rice was way too over cooked. I regret not sending it back. Please, step up the game. It's offensive to your loyal customers and your brand. read more

I've come here 3 times and it's simply because we were in the mall and didn't want to go far for lunch or dinner. The first time was for Mother's day. The prix fix menu was very good. However, after that event I kept becoming more and more disappointed about the food. The Hallum salad was too salty and the cheese was burned! The service is always alright and the waiters have been friendly and helpful. The is nothing special about the dishes anymore. I tried the shrimp, and Mezzas, then asked myself why did I come here again. The only edible dish in my opinion remains the lamb chops, but I've definitely tried better lamb chops elsewhere in Toronto. Sorry to say that I'm no longer a customer here. read more

Had dinner here last night and the place was packed! The server was extremely slow and a little rude but would smile after being rude .. it's confusing .. He needs to get fired! The food was delicious! We got falafels, lamb skewers and salmon skewers! The rice was so flavourful! For dessert we all got the toasted honey ice cream.. and as I'm typing this my mouth is watering!! The reason I didn't give 4-5 starts is because of the service! The food took forever and the staff was rude! Also.. if your serving tap water for your guests maybe don't make it so obvious that's what your using ... I watched them put tap water into fancy jugs all night .. yet they were stingy filling out glass up with the water!! read more

Best chicken liver ever! Finally I made it to Tabule to break my fast me & hubby. We ordered Hummus, Baba Ghanouj, Falafel, chicken liver, lentil soup, Tabule salad, akkawi cheese salad, and main course we shared the Lahme (beef kebob plate). Everything was delicious. Chicken liver better than the ones I tried in Lebanon. The decor is beautiful. Loved the picture of the men in the traditional coffee shop. The bar is definitely a highlight. It gives a nice modern vibe to the restaurant. Service was good, server seemed a bit tired not too chatty or excited but did her job excellent. I like happy waiters, they alleviate your mood. My husband on the other hand is the opposite. He does not like chatty waiters. So it us definitely a preference. Lastly the Morrocan Tea was great with the Mohalabiyi dessert. Loved the tea pots. Very nice touch. read more

Came here couple times for dinner and I was very impressed with this place. I see a lot of reviews talking about the service, but I didn't have too big of a problem during any of my visits. They could be a bit slow when it's busy, but not enough to annoy you. We always get their falafels. It's definitely one of the better ones I've had! It's nice and crispy on the outside. We tried the kafta and the grilled shrimp this time. They were both really good and really filling. I usually don't like how much rice these dishes usually come with, but they make the rice really flavourful here. read more

The food was very good in taste and presentation. The deserts was very good specially the 3 pieces that came as Baklava. The service was average. We had to wait at the table for a while to be served. So generally we haven't been taken care of well. read more

Much to my surprise, their drinks list was good and their dishes were flavorful, even without spice. I am not a Mediterranean cuisine person, and definitely not a spice lover, but there were more than enough choices for me. Their dishes with meat on skewers rice were very good. The meat was not dry and the rice was flavourful. Service was a tad slow but I had my wine so that was OK. Busy place. Right fit among tables. read more

These guys are amazing. We have 2 kids with severe anaphylactic allergies and Tabule accommodates these so well. We order about once a month for a crowd. We ordered last evening and the delivery was precisely on time. The food was amazingly delicious - there nothing anything left. The kofta are phenomenal. We order a variety of kebabs including chicken, lamb, veal, plus chicken livers, rice, fries, tabouleh, tomatoes, eggplant ... not matter how much we order it always goes. The staff are exceptional and Mike the manager is awesome We continue to go back! read more

Coming here at a friends suggestion on a Friday evening, I wasn't sure what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised; however, this review is solely based on their dinner fixe price of $33. If it wasn't for their special dinner price, their score would have been lower but I'll get to it later. Upon arriving around 6 PM, my friend and I were quickly seated without reservations. My friend is vegetarian so we were in awe of all the options he had to choose from! The initial service was quite slow as we sat down for a good 10-15 minutes before our waiter appeared. We chose from the fixe price dinner starting with their starter appetizer, followed by the cauliflower dish, and then the baklava ice cream. We also ordered an extra set of falafel ($7.50) as we weren't sure of the portions. The food itself was delicious. It was deliciously spiced albeit it was a little heavy for my taste. Portions within the fixe price menu set were very big and one order of the menu was enough for 2 people to share. The cauliflower dish was heavy on the garlic but complimented the cauliflower and lentils well. One thing quickly regretted ordering the falafel as one order came with 5 small balls. Compared to the fixe price menu, it just wasn't worth it! I really wanted to give this place 5 stars. I really did. But service was VERY slow. The place was packed and fully staffed... but it still took us about 2 hours from start to finish. Service overall was feeling meh, as we had to flag our waitress down for water, deserts, takeout box, and the bill. I really want to come back for their lunch special ($20 fix price) but I don't know if we would be able to finish the meal within the hour given how slow dinner service went. read more

A little overpriced for what the taste was - the lentil soup was great would recommend! read more

Ordered a pita sandwich Uber Eats. The food was uncooked and cold. Pure trash! I'll never buy anything from there again.

Was introduced to this place by a friend and I can't wait to go back!! The lentil soup I got was amazing and perfect. I also tried the falafels with tahini. They were delicious. There were so many things that I wanted to try ! read more

Simply amazing and worth a visit, especially if you love middle eastern food!

After trying the delicious food at their flagship restaurant on Queen East, this Tabule was a terrible disappointment. The meat was dry. They gave only whole-wheat pitas with our appetizers. The service was blah. We weren't even offered dessert as they seemed in a hurry to close shop. It was pricey, so we were upset that the food was so bad. read more

I really, really wish I could give this place 5 stars because the food is always impeccable, but they are extremely disorganized here. I get that it's a new location, but it's been a few months now and takeout is still an absolute nightmare. You wind up waiting at the counter when your food should already be done for another 20 minutes while they try to locate your order, then neglect to also provide cutlery. Clean up the takeout process (and have people on the phone taking the orders who aren't rude and snappy), and it's 5 stars all the way. read more

Food okay, service bad!!! Our waitress took 15 minutes to come and take drink orders, and then another ten minutes for her to bring water only for one person and wine for me. Don's restaurants give water to every single person sitting on the table?. I won't go again even I live just across the street! read more

I came here after trying out their restaurant in leslieville . This location is a far cry compared to our experience at Leslieville. The first thing you will notice is how noisy this restaurant is. It was loud! I was literally shouting in order to speak to my guests. The next thing is this location seemed cheap in comparison. They skipped out on small things like bread, pickles, dips and yogurt. The only saving grace was the food which was good and on par with Leslieville . read more

Fast service, pretty tasty food, and a nice atmosphere for a restaurant situated inside a mall with no windows.

The whole experience did not begin well. The reception had not entered our 1.15pm lunch reservation. Thankfully there was space. The service today was very slow although the restaurant was not full for lunch. The arnabeet was undercooked, and the appetizer soup came very late. Overall, the service needs a re-boot. The Yonge Street location is so much better. read more

I've been to two locations out the three. As far as the appetizers are concerned I liked the trio, Tabouli salad, Baba ganoush, and Hummus which is delicious...for the main dish I had the Lamb Kabob, I've had better but it was decent nonetheless. All and all it's a good restaurant especially the one in the Bayview Village but a bit overpriced read more

The food was good but I went with my family and we had the WORST experience there. It all started when we asked for a table. I told the lady at the front desk that we were five people and a stroller and her answer was "well.. we only have a table for four" so I told her that we needed a table for five because we were five! She got my number and after 20 min I went to the front desk to tell her to take my name off the waiting list because we didn't want to wait and she told me "oh.. now your table is ready". They didn't even call me! The service was very very slow. We got the food but we had to chase the servers to ask for UTENSILS and we chased them again to get NAPKINS... while my mom was eating her food she found a grilled pepper still with the sticker that they put on the veggies at the supermarket. We told the server and she didn't say sorry or tried to apologize or even asked to change her food like in other places do. We got the bill and I saw that they still charged us for my moms food so I went to talk to the manager just to let him know so he can let his staff know to be more aware and the guy only said "oh that's not a nice thing to find" I even showed him the picture and he didn't even apologize or seemed to care so definitely I'M NEVER GOING BACK! read more

Tabule Middle Eastern Cuisine - The sticker on the pepper. Probably they don't even wash the veggies. - Middle Eastern Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Have been a fan of their Yonge and Eglinton location for awhile so was looking forward to finally trying at their mall location. Only went for lunch so difficult to compare entrees. The atmosphere is a bit sterile but the food tasty. Our table had fatoushe salad, eggplant and vine leaves. Service could use a bit more polish (if you ask if we would like pita and we say yes don't forget to give it to us). By far surprisingly one of the best things I had was a fantastic cappuccino! Definitely will go back but one major flaw. They do not take reservations. Mall or not I don't want to show up to find out its a long wait. read more

I have been to this new location three times since it opened a few months ago and I absolutely love it! The Tabule team has done an outstanding job with the decor and of course the food is delicious. Most recently, I had the Fattush salad with chicken and I can honestly say that it was the most flavourful and juicy chicken I have ever had! read more

The food is excellent, the falafel is amazing as usual. Usually the service to however this time the service was ok. The restaurant is in a mall, however it is well done. The big question would I go back again yes I would and I have! read more

Food always amazing and the service is top notch. I can definitely say it's my favorite restaurant.

Great food.. consistency is not there though all is good tasting. Lighting is dim and the menu is written in a way that makes it very hard to read . read more

Amazing food. Great service and the decor and ambience are perfect. Recommend the Arnabeet, the veal tenderloin kabab, and the Fatush salad.

Really love the food and vibe at their restaurants. I've been to the one downtown and this recently opened inside Bayview village. Ordered Kubbe and hummus , both were well seasoned and delicious . Will keep coming back. read more

The food was good but the horrible service ensures we will never visit this restaurant again. Our party of four ate here on a weekday at approximately 7:30PM. The restaurant was busy, but there were still empty tables so it was not a full house. We waited approximately 10 minutes for our server to greet us and give us water. He took our drink order (two beers and one cardamom honey latte). IT TOOK 30 MINUTES FOR US TO RECEIVE A DRINK ORDER. The latte was cold by the time I received it. I am unsure if the bar forgot our order, or if the server forgot to bring us the order. IT TOOK 40 MINUTES FOR US TO RECEIVE OUR FOOD after ordering. We had the kefta, lamb skewers and the kefta banadura with mujaddara. The food was good, and the kefta banadura was excellent. The mujaddara was not worth the extra $1.50. Long story short, we will absolutely not be reuturning. It is a shame because the food is actually quote good, but the service was slow and unfriendly. I think 30 minutes is too long to wait for beverages, and 40 minutes is too long to wait for food. read more
