Editor's Note. I originally intended to post this review prior to the review for Liz Sue Bagels. Unfortunately, life doesn't always work out as planned. So, here is the long delayed review of Tabouli Grill.
My wife and I have driven past Tabouli Grill a few times did not know much about it until we read the review in the Stamford Advocate. Since we both like Middle Eastern food, we figured we'd give it a try.
The chef/owner of Tabouli Grill, Judith Roll, traveled throughout the Middle East prior to going to culinary school. So, she has a good idea of how the food should taste and it shows. My wife and I both had the falafel in a pita. It was excellent. The falafel was cooked perfectly -- crispy on the outside and soft and gooey on the inside. In addition, the pita was stuffed with an excellent assortment of vegetables.
In addition, we shared a side of megadarra. Megadarra is rice cooked with lentils and caramelized onions. While it sounds simple, it is extremely flavorful and tasty. Because our falafel sandwiches were so big, we weren't able to finish the megadarra. We brought it home and heated it up a few days later. It was still very tasty and excellent.
My only complaint about Tabouli Grill was the service (sensing a theme here?). It took quite a long time for the waitress to come over and offer us menus. Also, it took a bit of time for us to get our drinks after we ordered them. The service improved as the meal went on, but initially, it was not very good.
I leave you with the tabouli song. Laugh and enjoy.
