This is my favorite restaurant in Jacksonville.
My family and I have been regulars at Tabouleh's for years, and I'm always impressed by their exceptional customer service and the authenticity of their food. The Greek Spinach Cheese Hand Pies are my ultimate go-to comfort food, and I can't resist ordering them every time we visit. The staff is incredibly accommodating when it comes to substitutions and changes to the menu. Plus, the prices are very reasonable. It's such a welcoming place, and the chefs always greet us with a friendly hello. I genuinely adore this restaurant and can't wait for many more years of enjoying their delicious meals.
The employees were very friendly and helpful. We ordered the mixed pies and a Mediterranean sampler. Everything was ready very quickly and it was more than enough for us, we took leftovers to go.
This place could use an upgrade in terms of looks but don't eat that syonyou from having some delicious shawarma and some platter.
The seasoning of the food was on spot and you can ask for additional sauce that would make it a lot better.
I would suggest use of a different bread thats closer to shawarma bread which would infinitely improve the taste of food.
Apart from that. Highly recommended place for shawarma
delicious! food was super hot and fresh and the best baklava i’ve had. the owner said he makes it fresh every day. i wish i lived closer so i could get more!
These beautiful platters will run you $15, but they’ll be worth every penny. The flavorful symphony of lamb and perfectly seasoned basmati rice and homemade sauce will coat your mouth in all the right flavors, and the salad will balance it all out for a perfect meal that you’ll be sure to love.
My son (1 year old) and I dined here after originally planning to have dinner at Haretna Mediterranean (which was closed, on a Friday). No-frills dine-in atmosphere (they seem to do mostly takeout business), but the food was amazing! We shared the Mediterranean sampler, and the chicken shawarma platter. The portion size was large. Food was fresh and extremely flavorful. Top pick in the sampler was the meat stuffed grape leaves. My son loved it all. Staff was friendly and attentive.
I order from this place an obscene number of times a month. My usual is the original Greek gyro, Mediterranean rice, Mediterranean salad with gyro meat, and a big tzatziki dip. Latta for a few meals, but it really says something about how good it is. Trust me on the tzatziki sauce, it's amazing. Not the mayo based kind, but it is crisp, clean tasting with fresh cucumber and herbs and garlic. Gonna miss this place when I move!
Food was amazing, cashier was very cute as well
The food is unbeatable. Everything was just so fresh and the flavors were really well balanced. I tried a sampler and was not disappointed in a single thing, especially when considering the incredible value (I think it was about $14 and was far more than I could finish). The staff is really friendly. I will absolutely be back because I want to try everything!!
Tabouleh Cafe is a very casual place. Is
A family-owned and operated. There’s plenty of parking. They offer take out, and the staff is super friendly
We ordered the hummus dip, vegetarian grape leaves, kibbeh and falafel.
The food was so fresh, so tasty, and delicious, that it literally ruined all the regular places I normally go to eat Middle East food. That’s how good the food was. Honestly the best! Outstanding!
Give this place a shot. You will be glad you did
Honest review: my wife rated it as a 5 and I a 4, so it’s basically a 4.5 then.
Food was great, we got a little bit of everything and it was amazing. Price was correct so you won’t feel ripped off.
Service was good but she was on a personal call majority of the time.
All in all it’s a good experience.
So would I come back…. Yes, I’m saving this place.

Have a great day!!!
A Mediterranean place I normally go to was closed due to holiday, I’m assuming. So I searched for a different place to sample some food. Stop what you are doing and come try this place. We ordered the beef kabob platter and let me tell you….taste was not only on point but juicy, tender, so delicious with flavor. The rice yum 🤤. The falafel was perfect and so damn delicious. Everything is fresh! Can’t wait to come back and eat more.
Please stare on your orbs how much pita comes with the Mediterranean sample. Great food but petty serving of pita. We ordered the Mediterranean sample with hummus taboukel etc . And they only gave us half a pita for a 20 dollar appetizer. We delivered. They didn't state that on the item either. It's obvious common sense. If we were there they would have given us more with the sampler. I would have bought more pita.
Returning from Atlanta we made a stop in Jacksonville, FL. It was almost 6:00 pm and we were starving, and desperately looking for a good restaurant. My sister found this amazing place through reviews from her followers. I’m saying amazing now but when we were arriving I was quite skeptical, the surroundings and the cafe itself are not exactly a quaint place to be but it has plenty of parking space.
The Tabouleh cafe is a small eatery mostly for takeout ( that part we didn't notice until we were seating and no one came to take our order 🤣)
This is family owned and operated cafe. They offer take out, but once you placed your order you can seat and they will bring your food to the table, the staff is super friendly 😊
We had tabouleh, fried kibbeh, hummus, vegetarian grape leaves, and falafel). Everything and I mean everything was beyond delicious, the best Lebanese food we had ever eaten. We are seriously considering going back to Jacksonville just for this place.
If you ever stop by or live in Jacksonville, do yourself a favor a go to Tabouleh cafe, you won't regret it!
I love the food at this place! The chicken kebabs are my favorite. They're a little pricey but the portions are large and everything tastes great! They can get pretty busy at lunch time but I've never waited longer than 20 minutes for my food. The seating a decor could use updating and it's always pretty warm in there.
Absolutely delicious ! Their lamb shawarma plate is to die for and I’ve ordered it 6 times since discovering this place a few months back. So flavorful, filling, and balanced. The salad dressing can be a bit acidic, but it balances well with the whole plate. 15/10 would recommend.
I recommend you order ahead as some times the walk-ins are a lot. On some occasions when I’ve called, the earliest pick up time is about an hour when normally it’s 15, so plan accordingly.
Consistent good food! I LOVE the Addis soup which I’ve had numerous times and order each time I visit this establishment. The flavors on all the dishes are amazing and the staff is very friendly, I believe mostly a family run operation. Well worth stopping for excellent Mediterranean dishes!
