Me and my bf met an awesome employee named Dip! He gave great service, was very personable, and had great energy! What a joy to be around! The food was delicious as well, I really enjoyed it! I definitely will be back!

I remember when my uncle first took me to this restaurant, it started off a chain reaction! I am now in love with Mediterranean and Middle Eastern (Middleterranean) food! I have been going to this place for years now. I have tried many other Middle Eastern and Mediterranean restaurants but I always end up coming back here. Well today me and my girl came back here after a while and there's this cool guy named Dip (pronounced Deep) who works there! He makes people want to come back there and he looks out for you! If you see him on Saturday or Sunday, definitely strike up a conversation with him. Cool dude! The food is good, they have deserts and many different choices plus some neat little drinks. They also have Dubai chocolate! Definitely go here!

For some reason Google is not allowing me to add my photos but he absolutely stuffed the styrofoam box I got for my take out meal. My girl got an even bigger box! You definitely get your money's worth here as far as quantity and the quality isn't too bad either. šŸ‘ŒšŸæ

I called three times couldn’t reach a manager, when I finally talked to somebody he was very rude, I didn’t get his name, but he had a foreign accent. me and my wife got two chicken swarm bowls, The chicken was very dry so dry that me and my wife and kids couldn’t eat it so I called for a refund and the lady told me this would be the second time you calling that I could come in and get Two free chicken Shawarma bowls, first time I went up there I was rejected so I left my phone number. I never got a call back so I called that’s when the Mail employee was rude. I feel like I got cursed out over the phone. Hopefully you guys can make this right me and my wife usually come there in the service isn’t bad but this time was terrible and it didn’t make me wanna ever go back and the fact of me calling and leaving. My number made things worse so I hope you guys get it together or I’ll take my business to another tabouli. I hear there’s one in East Lansing that’s pretty good.
The date is March 11, 2025. I called first to make sure he was gonna give me my food. He told me just to bring my ID which I did but unfortunately.I just left the restaurant and he asked me if I had a receipt from a month ago. I told him I did not keep that receipt so he said he could not help me and I will receive no refund no food so no I will never ever go back to that place of business actually told me to come up there

Save your money!! Arrived right at lunch time, food was cold, and bland. Garlic sauce had no garlic flavor. And many of the tables were dirty.

Went there with a friend who hadn't really eaten Mediterranean food before. Imagine our surprise and delight when we discovered that tabooli uses traditional Mediterranean foods to create delicious fusion style inspirations. The only way I can describe this is a culinary adventure. I honestly think she got a good idea of meditation tastes (and loved it) while I got to see dishes I've seen before prepared in completely different ways. Everything was delicious!

In addition the server working there was delightful and we ignored our other plans to sit and talk with them while they were closing.

The food was good, but this is the dirtiest restaurant I have ever eaten in. Filthy trash disposal container in condiment counter, filthy unplugged hot food stand in lobby, filthy bathroom.

The food was just not good. The chicken biryani was ok but the bowl was mostly unpleasant rice. The eggplant sandwich was, again, mostly rice and a single piece of eggplant. With a $6 hummus they gave us a half piece of pita. Disappointing and expensive for the quality.
