Tabouli Kitchen

New Tabouli Kitchen at Courtyards Talega. Legit Mediterannean / Lebanese fusion. Pier Bowl has multiple options. Top notch, best lunch mediterranean I have found in SoCal. Blows Cava away. Grab it before this place explodes with long lines.

First time visiting. Super yummy and very sweet staff! The gyros in my bowl was phenomenal. I pretty much put everything in it. Warning though: don’t get the tahina dressing u less you love bitter! Good thing I got it on the side. Other than that it’s a great little spot for healthy quick serve dinner before church!

Family meal was great for 2 adults! Great flavor, looking forward to coming back.

INSANELY GOOD salads! So glad I found this place- it’s fresh and delish. YUM

This place is SO GOOD and super fresh! Every time I come in, the staff is so happy and fast with their service. The food is AMAZING and so many protein and veggie options for a reasonable price. They also do NOT skimp with their ingredients. So delicious!

I recently visited this Mediterranean restaurant with my family, and I was impressed from the very beginning. The chef personally assisted us with our order and was incredibly professional, attentive, and friendly. That personal touch made our visit even more special. The food was simply spectacular. Every dish was prepared to perfection: impeccable presentation, generous portions, vibrant colors, and authentic, delicious flavors and textures. The location is excellent, and having parking available at all times was a big plus. Additionally, it’s clear they have an outstanding team because the restaurant was spotless, and the service was top-notch. The quality of the ingredients is also worth mentioning—everything was fresh and of the highest quality. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to enjoy an unforgettable dining experience. I can’t wait to come back!

Excellent quick lunch option. I had a bowl with chicken which was delicious. Definitely worth trying out!

A Hidden Gem in San Clemente – Tabouli Kitchen Is a Must-Visit My wife and I recently had the pleasure of dining at Tabouli Kitchen in San Clemente, and from the moment we walked in, we knew we had found something special. We were warmly greeted by the owners themselves who took the time to walk us through the menu in detail. What stood out right away was how thoughtfully the menu items were named after national parks and notable points of interest (e.g. Yosemite, Sequoia,Big Sur, etc), adding a creative and personal touch that reflects the spirit of adventure and care behind their culinary offerings. The food? Absolutely fantastic. Each dish was flavorful, beautifully presented, and surprisingly filling. It’s clear that quality ingredients and attention to detail are at the heart of everything they serve. As an added bonus, we were given a selection of salsas to sample, and I have to say, every single one of them was delicious in its own unique way. What we appreciated most (aside from the amazing food) was the experience itself. There was no long wait and no fuss, just friendly service and delicious food made with care. Tabouli is the kind of place you want to tell everyone about, but also hope stays a little secret. Whether you live nearby or are just visiting, it’s a spot worth checking out. We’ll definitely be coming back.

We came across this restaurant late one evening & grabbed a couple of dinners to take home. All I can say is. “Wow!” Everything was fresh, tender and very tasty! The chicken kabob was as delicious as I’ve ever had anywhere. The falafels were crispy on the outside & seasoned and delicious on the inside. The hummus was flavorful & seemed homemade. Salad, yummy! Lots of sauces to choose from. I loved the chimchurri. We will definitely be returning and ordering more!

All high marks and great for those with allergies. The employee knew all about the ingredients and had alternatives to suggest. The chicken and gyro were fantastic. All the sides and sauces were very good. The place is extremely clean and well-kept. We are definitely coming back.

What an incredible experience dining at this fabulous restaurant! You feel right at home the moment you walk in. The staff are so friendly, the menu offers a great variety, the place is spotless, and the food is absolutely exquisite—so delicious! Kudos to Tabouli Kitchen!

The food at tabouli was so delicious and healthy. The guys were super friendly and helpful, such good vibes! Left feeling amazing. Would recommend to anyone and would eat here everyday if I could

We are SO excited to have discovered Tabouli!!!! Wonderful owners, staff and delicious authentic food!!!!! Cafe Mint was a favorite of my family’s and we were so sad to see them close, so now to have Tabouli open in the same center is sooooo exciting and brings us such joy. We love the food and even more the feeling inside with the warmth of the chef and staff. Can’t wait to be regulars here!

Best food and amazing service. Came in today for the first time and had a chicken wrap. All the ingredients were so fresh. Definitely a new favorite

Great quality ingredients, friendly service, and delicious food. The portions of food were excellent for the price. We really enjoyed our build your own bowls with gyro meat. The flavors were wonderful and it felt like we really got value out of our meal. We will be coming back soon!

Tired of the ol same ol, same ol in San Clemente? (Tacos, and Italian). I tried Tabouli Kitchen. VERY DELICIOUS !!! I ordered garlic chicken wrap, they loaded it up with lots of veggies. The tzaziki sauce on the side was a perfect compliment.

Be sure to stop by Tabouli Kitchen and give it a shot if you're in the mood for some great Mediterranean food. What I love most is the cleanliness of the restaurant, the freshness of the ingredients, and that the protein is cook-to-order. Lots of great, fresh ingredients. Prices are very reasonable. Service was quick. There's limited but sufficient seating in the dining room area. Plenty of parking. Handicap parking is available. I highly recommend you give it a shot.

Del Miller

We’ve tried Tabouli twice and it’s fantastic! The portions are big, and all the ingredients taste very fresh. We’ve had the chicken, gyro meat (lamb) and falafel. All are yummy, and the gyros and falafel are outstanding. You can add many different toppings if you order a bowl, and the salad is also delicious. Haven’t tried a wrap yet! Oscar and his team are very nice and very friendly. If you want a delicious healthy meal, you must try Tabouli!

Brought m y hubs home the steak which he really enjoyed. Can't wait to come here often...great spot for bringing home for family dinner too when you don't want to cook, but want an easy healthy option:)
