| - Souk Tabule is one of our neighborhood spot. Staffs are incredibly knowledgeable. White reliefs with golden accents on the wall, rustic wooden tables, blue walls, marble tiles - Souk Tabule`s decor is an exquisite work of art.
I have visited Souk Tabule multiple times, hence this extremely long review. Below are dishes we have tried over the course of several months. The food is relatively consistent with a few hits and misses. My go to are the chef`s sampler and falafel. At the risk of boring you, below is the list of items we have tried.
Appetizers:
Chef's Sampler ($16) consists of Babaganouj, labni, muhamara, beet mutable, quinoa tabule, and arabic slaw! All wonderful! My favourite is the beet mutable - Beets, tahini, lemon, garlic! Yum! Bonus points of fresh gluten free saj (flat bread) that does not taste like gluten free bread.
Saj with Za'atar ($4.50) consists of Dried thyme, oregano, sumac, sesame seeds, and olive oil. You can't go wrong with crispy herbaceous saj!
Mains:
Beirut Pulled Chicken ($13.00) consists of slow-roasted turmeric pulled chicken, served over dirty rice with ground beef, and cinnamon, and topped with Arabic slaw. Overall the dish is on the slightly on the drier end.
Beiruti falafel ($7.00) in a saj pita, stuffed with Arabic slaw, tomato concasse, pickled turnip and tahini. Comes with three falafel. The falafel seems smaller than before for some odd reason. Regardless, I usually asked to the wrap to be open or without the wrap. I find it a lot more enjoyable! It is a great salad hack at Souk.
Shashuka ($12) with roasted tomato and red pepper sauce with three local free run omega 3 soft-cooked eggs and a scoop of labni. The dish is great for a morning brunch. Perfect for sharing.
Shish Tawuk ($13.00) with Ontario farm fresh chicken breast, grilled and served over turmeric rice and topped with Arabic slaw. Again, the chicken is dried and the portion of chicken is on the smaller end.
Sides:
Phoenician fries ($5.50) with za'atar and drizzled in tahini. Dry seems to be the theme of some of the item on the miss list. Save the calories for something more delicious!
Mujaddara ($4.50) rice with lentil. Again, slightly dried.
Vegan lentil soup ($5.50) with pureed red lentils, carrots, celery no cream or butter. Nothing to write home about.
Desserts:
Coconut cookies ($2.50) made with egg white and shredded coconut. A little too sweet for my liking!
Drinks:
Avoid juices ($5.5) at all cost. Ever since they switched vendor, juices resembles toilet water.
Moroccan Mint ($2.95) comes in a decorative tea pot and miniature tea cups. Great for sharing!
Honey Cardamon Latte ($4.75) is a hug in a cap. Warm creamy latte with honey and cardamon goodness. This latte is a crowd pleaser!
Overall, Souk is a good option if you are in the neighborhood! Food is always fresh. Pita is made to order. Remember, for a good time, avoid their juices! Go for a nice scroll by the Make Peace exhibit after brunch, lunch or dinner!
