| - Yum yum. Tabule hits all the right spots when it comes to Middle Eastern cuisine. The decor, lighting and music is really nice and makes for a great atmosphere.
This place is quite affordable if you have someone to share your meals with. My friend and I ordered quite a lot and our total was probably $60 with taxes and tips for 2 ppl. We had:
- The Sampler Platter w/ Hümmus, Babaganüj, and Tabülè. In order of preference, I have to say Tabülè was the clear winner. It's so refreshing and I didn't expect to like it. Tabule at Paramount Find Foods is not even comparable. Depending on your preference, Babaganüj might be a bit too sweet. Personally, I prefer Hümmus and then the Babaganüj. You get pita bread with these spreads and can ask for free refills. If you get this platter, try one of the spreads with Tabule.
- Cauliflower, was soft and pretty tasty. Nice little appetizer but not filling if that's what you are looking for.
- Falafel, kind of too crunchy for me but also delicious and a tiny bit spicy. But I'm really sensitive to spicy food. My friend couldn't taste it at all though. Lol.
- Lentil Soup (bowl size). It was okay, but since there is no cream or butter.. Not as smooth for me. Idk. I think I prefer it with some creamy texture so, probably pass on this one next time. Paramount makes a really great Lentil soup FYI.
- Kefta, also good. The mixed lamb and beef tasted a bit salty but was balanced by the rice. We were honestly stuffed but had to try it before packing it to go.
I would definitely come back here. Perhaps to try the Labni (a homemade Lebanese yogurt spread) and the teas. We spotted some diners with the Garlic Tomatoes dish, which looked interesting too. Yeah, we are foodies that eye other people's dishes for future reference. Lool.
