(Currently this place is closed because of a car running into the building.) Once they are opened back up, make sure to stop by and get your favorite Mediterranean dish. I am a huge fan of the Chicken Sharma and dolma, I struggle to order anything else because I love it so much. Talk about massive servings with the Chicken Shwarma (and other dishes too). I often order knowing it will make two or three meals. Hummus is an excellent choice for an little snack prior to your main course. No guilt. I often get my order to go and if you don't know what to order, go to their main website and each item on the menu has a colorful picture. If you are like me, I want to see the food! If you do look at their picture menu on their website (there are a ton of pictures here on yelp too but their website has it all in one scroll), be prepared to want everything! I want that, that, that, that, that,.... oh and probably that. Salam and Aseel Bunyan are just deeply welcoming and fun to chat with! When they open back up, go fill your belly with some amazing Mediterranean food and be welcomed like a family member. See you there soon! read more

If you live in Boise, like Mediterranean food, and you don't go here...what are you doing?? I popped in on my way to the airport today and I was in the only one in the place. No idea why, because it's awesome. Cool decor, cool ambiance, and the food...muah. Not only that, the woman working the kitchen was soo goddamn nice. Walked me thru the menu and asked what I liked and didn't like before recommending some things and went to work. I'd go back just for her honestly. She even gave me some baclava free of charge. Incredible. 4.7 outta 5. Go here. Now. read more

Awesome food, great service and reasonable prices - what more can you ask for! The friendly staff and great food makes me wish I was local!

Great new place on Broadway replacing the tired Pizza Buffet. Order and sit casual vibe. Meals are incredibly delicious! Our party of four tried a number of items that included vegetarian, lamb, and beef. They were all great. Out of everything the lamb and hummus appetizer was agreed as the best. If you are eating in I would advice ordering a number of items for the table and just share everything. Service was simple and friendly. We felt very welcome The only negative is that the fountain drinks are very, very expensive. A serving is $3+ and they are very clear on the no-refill policy. The price needs to drop or pull the sign down. Can't have it both ways. Going forward we'll stick with water. Highest recommendation! You should try and also support the connecting market. Great selection! read more

Amazing place the inside is so beautiful very nice marketplace staff are are friendly. food is amazing. I tried the number 31 the chicken schwarma I would definitely go here again. read more

Friendly and helpful service to go along with delicious food. I have been looking for another place to add to my rotation of will visit again and again - Tarbush makes the list. Portion size was very generous, personally I got dinner and there is enough to enjoy it again for lunch. A bonus is the market side of the store with a variety of goods and foods. I'm looking forward to more visits. read more

Tarbush Kitchen - Shawerma Beef & Lamb with one Kebab Iraqi Lamb, Pita, Dolmas, and fantastic Home Style Baklava. - Mediterranean Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Very nice food with the store connected to the restaurant to restock on your favorite food from back home.

Don't review too many places but this place is worth the effort. Without question, the best Mediterranean food in Idaho and it's not even close. People are nice and the restaurant is chill. read more

10/10!! Food was phenomenal, coffee was amazing, and service was impeccable! Wouldn't change a thing; give these guys a try!!

TEMPORARILY CLOSED due to a drunk driver slamming into the side of the restaurant with such force that the wall was demolished and the drunk driver's car ended up inside the restaurant. Thank goodness this was at 11pm on Sunday (Jan 30 2022) when the restaurant was empty. This will be closed for an indefinite period. These owners, Salam and Aseel Bunyan, are such nice people who came from Iraq. Their first restaurant, Goodness Land, burned down several years ago. They reopened in another location, had a successful business at that spot, sold it name and all to another Iraqi family and moved on to open Tarbush Kitchen a couple of years ago. Now this challenge of the drunk driver demolishing their space. See photo in linked article. https://www.idahostatesman.com/news/local/community/boise/article257988243.html read more

Super friendly owner and very helpful! We didn't eat in house, but we enjoyed our takeout. We got two different chicken dishes, but they were very similar. Nothing was particularly flavorful, but it was good, fresh and healthy. Thank you, and best wishes! read more

Tarbush Kitchen - Jajik, Dolma, chicken shawarma, combination platter - Mediterranean Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Best mid-east food I've had in any cities. The combination of spices and herbs makes everything flavorful. I have moved to Denver and can't find anything that comes close to Tarbush Kitchen in Boise, despite there being many more mid eastern choices in Denver. read more

Delicious! Stopped on a road trip for a quick bite and this place hit the spot. The woman serving and preparing the food was so nice. We had the chicken shawarma and bryani and they were both amazing. Highly recommend the hummus with lamb as an appetizer (or even as your meal). If we were local we'd come here all the time! read more

The staff were so friendly and attentive. I would go back just for that. We ordered two appetizers and an extra pita. It was plenty of food for a hot afternoon meal. The lamb with humus and the falafel salad were good. We would go back. read more

Closes early and refused service at 7:45. 45 min before close. You'd think we showed up 5 min before close. Was looking forward to trying it out. Oh well 1 star bad service. read more

This has become one of my favorite places to get takeout from. Love, love, love this place. I always get the Mshakal Iraqi platter and it's soooo good every time. It comes with several different proteins, a side salad, rice, and a pita. Great price for how much food you get. Their falafels are some of my favorite in town. I am usually not a fan of falafel, and I think theirs probably just comes frozen, but it's now one of my favorites to get there. Most other places in town that have a similar dish, do not include the pita and garlic sauce which is a great addition to this meal. I also have to add that their shawarma is amazing. It has so much flavor and is very tender. Cannot recommend this place enough! read more

New to us, great food, large portions! Turkish delight, to go! Yes we really needed Togo boxes! read more

Tarbush Kitchen - Wow! I can't believe we have found this great food, on Broadway in Boise! We will be back! - Mediterranean Near Me - Boise, Idaho

We stopped here for something different than the usual Western diner / meat restaurant we've noticed during our travels. Thank goodness for this place!!!! I haven't had any Mediterranean food since leaving NY over a month ago, so eating here was like que Ching a deep thirst that no burger joint can help. The staff here are super pleasant and don't rush you through anything. I love their "enjoy first" then pay philosophy even tho it's an order at register and sit down to wait kind of place. My handsome date had the Iraqi sandwich with lamb served with fries, pickled veg, and hummus. Wow wow the lamb was so tender but had a well balanced Spicy kick. The pickles were so zesty. I had the mixed salad dish and was thrilled with all the salads, falafel, dolma and pita bread. The pita bread was soft and fluffy. The salads were all delicious I could t decide which was my favorite. Definitely come give this place a try read more

Sorry no photos of the bak lava, too busy devouring it. I have became a repeat customer after just one visit. I probably love all of the appetizers this cuisine has to offer, as long as it doesn't have eggplant, I'm allergic. The eggplant salad and baba ganouj was for my boyfriend. I love dolmas and these were perfect. The falafel was just the perfect amount of crispy on the outside and soft and moist on the inside. The salad was good the hummus was so good, creamy and full of flavor with an exceptionally spicy red sauce on it. The heat really grows after the first bite, Great flavor. Loved the chicken and rice, can not wait to try new menu items and get my hands in some tabula !!!!! The customer service was the best! Greeted with a smile, explained the process, and Asked if there was any questions to ask away! Clean and offers great prices for quantity and quality of food! Hurry in and try something new but always leave with some bak lava. read more

Tarbush Kitchen - Mixed salad with Falafel - Mediterranean Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Tarbush Kitchen is located next to Kabul Market and has plenty of parking out front! They also offer takeout and delivery that you can order online. I was really craving a healthier meal for lunch one day and came across reviews of this restaurant and their Mediterranean salad caught my eye! I was already on my way when I ordered online using this app, but unfortunately when we got their the restaurant wasn't open yet. I called their number and they answered saying that they were going to open in 15 minutes- I blame spring forward for this mixup. Anyways, I ran some errands and then came back to pick up my order. Everything was freshly made for me when I got back, and I even got an extra falafel right out of the fryer for waiting. I added a package of 3 baklava to my order when I saw them up front at the counter - they were so yummy! The rest of the food was really flavorful and the dishes we got - the Mediterranean salad and the mixed salad with Falafel were all vegetarian ( not sure, but possibly vegan as well) Next time I support this business, I would love to try some of their lamb dishes and I'll probably get it delivered! read more

I fly all the way to Boise Idaho from North Carolina just to eat here!! It was absolutely phenomenal! I can't wait to come back read more

Excellent food. Best in Idaho by no comparison bc there is nothing else. We had the fatoush salad w the kebabs. Don't forget the baklava. Best i ever had. read more

My girlfriend and I tried this place as of 4/25/24, our first time and we both love Mediterranean food. We'll we got there, the place looked really good and there's a market to inside. We ordered our food and the lady at the counter was very nice. I ordered a falafel sandwich and it had a pomegranate molasses drizzle I believe very yummy and my girlfriend got the Chicken Shawarma plate. Absolutely so good the food was, would definitely recommend and come here again! read more

The new remodel looks good and the seats are comfy. The food is fabulous, always. Can't go wrong with any item. Chicken schwarma, lamb and chicken kabobs, the dolmas, the hummus and tzatziki sauce are all so so good. Authentic food and family owned. You order at a counter, grab your drinks and a seat and pay when you leave. read more

This is the best food I've ever had. I highly recommend the mixed salads with falafel which comes with the eggplant salad, which may have been my favorite dish. Beside the eating area there are also a bunch of snacks/food items being sold like lentils or Turkish delights. Exploring those items was fun and they're not badly priced. Try this place! read more

Friendly staff, delicious dishes. Will be visiting again. We even got a complimentary baklava at the end!

It was fire everything is home made. Dislike the salad dressing though. Research the restaurant.

We got food from here right before they moved. in fact, they were rolling kitchen equipment out while we ordered. Sadly we had to do take out, but i'm glad we had the opportunity and din't have to come up with another plan (and they didn't close for the day). The food was great, and i can't wait to come back to boise and dine in at tarbush. read more

Craving a snack during the stay-at-home order, but that's not enough of an excuse to run to the store, so what's a girl to do? Check Yelp and see who is delivering! I've had Tarbush Kitchen on my radar for awhile and of course I can't just order 4 dolmas for delivery, so I also got the chicken shawerma. Everything was delicious. The chicken was juicy, plentiful, and beautifully seasoned, and I especially enjoyed the bed of long grained rice. Enough food for 2 meals. The dolmas did not disappoint either. I wish they would have thrown in some pita bread for the hummus, but I have homemade naan so I'll survive. I am already looking forward to my next order. Reasonably priced delivery by Ubereats. read more

What an amazing surprise to come to Boise and find an authentic Iraqi restaurant! I have had food from all over the Middle East, but having specifically Iraqi cuisine was a treat!!!! I had no idea how much I would love and want it over and over again! The lamb with eggplant was one of the most delicious meals I have ever had in my entire life! The hummus was perfect and so was everything else. Be adventurous and get to know your Iraqi neighbors. They are wonderful people serving amazing food! read more
