Tabouleh Cafe — Restaurant in Jacksonville

If there is no star i am going to give it to this restaurant I visited this restaurant with my family we are 4 in our vacation to Orlando/Florida , on Sunday afternoon at lunch time and it suppose to be busy , we found there is nobody in it , just one table of two guys , the waiter brought the menus to us and we chose a family plate for 4 persons with a $46 that included a salad plate and the waiter ask if we liked to order for drinks but we asked her to bring just a water and she brought a 4 bottles of water Then we stayed about 20 minutes without any dish and then she brought a just one salad dish for 4 persons it was so small and not enough for us And we finished it and still wait the main dish and then she brought it , it was a plate of a little quantity of rice and a very few pieces of chicken/beef and burnt black lamb shank the food totally not fresh it was heated by microwave that located in the kitchen, the food doesn't satisfy the quality and quantity, it supposed to be enough for 4 family members but actually it is for one person The server didn't bring the spoons until i ask her and she brought just 2 and I asked her to bring 2 more and I asked her to bring bread that should be come with a plate And then she brought the receipt with a charge of $64 when I saw the details they charged me $5,25 for a water And gratuity $9,25 (%18) When i saw the restaurant 's owner he was rude and totally not nice and told him I didn't ask about any drinks and we just wanted water. He said she gave you bottles so theres a charge for it, but we originally asked for water we didn't want bottled water. I mean its common sense you bring a jug not bottles of water unless I specify I want bottled. And the gratuity was not mentioned in the menu So I would not recommend this restaurant and never ever...

Tabouleh Cafe, tucked away in a small shopping center off Merrill road, the atmosphere in the building is quaint and cozy truly capturing a sort of Cafe feel, while I personally don't sit down and eat here I could very much imagine doing so and enjoying it alot.

The service, the service is alright, my biggest gripes was the man wasn't the most pleasant person and he has tipping services when there is absolutely 0 reason to tip there outside of being nice, there's no servers or special service that warrants it.

The food, spectacular, I got a gyro, let me tell you what, it was the best gyro I've had in my entire life, loaded with meat and vegetables, no skipping on the sauce and sizeable flatbread to lay it all on all with a nice portion of fries, if you're coming for the gyros, you're coming to the right place, gyros aside there's a nice selection of Mediterranean here and I'd recommend trying a few if you're daring and looking for something new and unique.

The price, wasn't too bad, it was about 10$ per person for a decent portion of food, no drink included and I don't really recommend paying 3$ or more for a single drink so I went elsewhere, no gripes with that though.

I think Tabouleh is a wonderful place everyone should atleast try once and with fast food combos hitting as high as 13-15 in some places it's a whole lot better than that.

Solid...

The cashier didn’t speak (or pretended not to) English very well. At this point I felt it would difficult to get my order completed. The order took a long time to prepare (I was the only customer at the counter, everyone else was already eating). I asked for pickled vegetables (beets, cucumbers, etc) I received a tray with a few sliced onions, tomatoes and pickles. This was definitely not what was described to the cashier or confirmed. Needless to say the only thing pickled were the pickles. The Falfel was loaded with large chunks of tomatoes, presumably to fill the large wrap with the limited filing of Falfel. The Tabouleh was finely chopped kale with a sprinkle of tomato bits and light lemon juice no other ingredients. I was batting zero at this point. So I decided to cut my losses and leave. The restaurant is located in a small strip of stores, so parking is limited. This place ranks low on my list for Mediterranean restaurants. How it got 4.6 in reviews just completely baffles me. They must write their own reviews or they are using bots. At any rate it’s highly overrated. Don’t waste...
