Tabule Middle Eastern Cuisine on Postcard

"Super savoury, warm, and authentic Lebanese comfort food. The emphasis at Tabule is on fresh herbs, balanced flavours, and super filling meals. Portion sizes are generous, very much like you would expect when you visit your middle eastern grandmother for dinner. They also rock an impressive wine list, some super tasty cocktails, and feature BYOB nights on Mondays and Tuesdays. The restaurant is beautifully designed, with stylized wall-mounted lighting, lots of light, arabic signage and trinkets, and a rich colour palette throughout. Vegetarians are well looked after here." - Medina Abdelkader

I went to brunch with a friend today. I wasn’t far from the restaurant, so I went in without any expectations. I honestly can’t remember the last time I ate this well at a restaurant! I ordered chicken liver with rice and vegetables, plus a beer. The portion was huge, and the liver and rice were incredibly tasty. The waitstaff were charming and welcoming, too. I was especially happy with the waitress’s beer recommendation—she took the time to ask about my tastes and brought me exactly what I wanted! This restaurant was such a great find; everything from the food to the atmosphere and service was a 10/10! The only thing I felt was missing was some live plants—they’d add a bit of coziness to the space🪴🥰

We went for dinner last night at Tabule and were absolutely blown away by the food, service, and vibe. We had the kefta, hummus, and more. Everything was delicious & our server was super sweet. Really enjoyed our meal and can't wait to come back to try more of the menu!

WOW what an incredible experience at Tabule. It was our first time here and the quality of food is outstanding. Try the eggplant dinner - some of the best eggplant we’ve ever had. Drinks are beautiful and delicious - everything prepared with such care. Special mention to our server José - he is incredible and so fun ❤️ will definitely go back. Check out their beautiful patio in the back too!

Nice looking restaurant on Queen St E. The server was very friendly and outgoing. Food was decent and good portions. My wife liked the lamb skewers. There's enough food for leftovers. The veal tenderloin was supposed to be medium rare, but it was more on the rare side. The meat had a nice char on the outside, but some pieces were kind of chewy. I did enjoy the rice and grilled zucchini and bell peppers. The restaurant has a really nice dining room and a patio on the back. The only thing that diminished the experience was the sign of fruit flies everywhere in the dining room. The craft beers we ordered were pretty good. I got the gild lager, and my wife got the blonde ale. If you are looking to try some Lebanese and Middle Eastern food, I would recommend you give them a try.

Follow @bredgyeats for more food posts! Speaking of cauliflower, you can imagine all of its surface area to be a great vessel for absorb the fragrant oils from a deep fry that's not overly greasy, especially when complimented with a creamy and tangy yogurt tahini sauce. It's no secret that tomato and grilled meats go very well together. A smoky mix of lamb and beef shaped into little balls contain a slight bit of gaminess from the lamb, and is served with roasted veggies and an addicting bed of flavoured rice.

Our party of 5 came here for a birthday celebration. The food was the best Middle Eastern food I've had in Toronto. The service was amazing and very accommodating. Large portions and very flavourful. Will definitely come back again.

We were here for a birthday dinner. The staff and our host was extremely pleasant. Massive shout out to DD - she made the experience wonderful. The seating is a bit tight and tables are quite close together making it difficult to navigate to and from the washroom. The food was alright. I was hoping to have more flavour but felt like every dish was lacking something (except the dessert). For appetizers we had - Fatoush salad, Awaaki cheeze, basterma, garlic tomatoes and arnabeet. The tomatoes lacked the garlic punch, but everything else was good, and the Arnabeet was fantastic. Also on the table was Falafel entree, Kefta, and Kefta Banadura. The falafel did not hv any green herbs in it, but the mujaddara rice was flavourful. The Kefta was nice but some pieces were chewy. The entree pick was Kefta Banadura with house rice. The birthday dessert was on the house - and the Muhalabiya was to die for. The 1 star less than 5 is coz The food experience was alright - wudnt rush to eat there, but the staff was fantastic. Do give it a go - food is also a very personal taste, so it might work for some but not for other. PS: for a Wednesday evening - it was quite busy so do make reservations.
