Souk Tabule is a casual and self serve dining experience. The staff is friendly and have a t-shirt uniform. The food is delicious and I always order a Turkish coffee (SO GOOD). My friend ordered the shashuka and said it was delicious. If you want to order coffee to go, you can order it at the front counter. The space is beautiful and spacious and it's a good spot for brunch in the canary district. This is my go-to brunch spot if I want something light and if I'm craving for Turkish coffee. read more

Souk Tabule - Middle Eastern Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I wish I could give this place more than five stars. I come here all the time and I've never ordered something I don't like. I've also ordered through foodora and the quality is just as good as if I eat in the restaurant. The serving size I got as takeout felt bigger too than when I eat in the restaurant. My top favourites are the open face shawarma and the akawi cheese. They make their wraps on site and all of their ingredients are top quality. Their food isn't overly greasy and always leave feeling satisfied without feeling grossed out about all the oil/grease. The ambience of the restaurant and the causal dining environment also makes me fall in love with this place. It's perfect for a small family to come, hanging out with your friends, and dates. This has become my favourite restaurant in Toronto. The one downfall of this place is that it takes a while to prepare the food so make sure you budget for a longer than normal wait if you're on a schedule. read more

To be honest, I've lived in Toronto pretty much my entire life, I didn't even really know what cork-town is or was. It's a fairly new neighborhood. interesting restaurants and coffee shops. Definitely a lot of condos. I'm not sure I would add it to a travel guide as a must visit neighborhood. This restaurant was excellent, I would strongly consider coming just for this.I love the idea that you can go up and order. Sit down with the number and get it dropped off when it's ready. The Beirut chicken was excellent. Definitely coming back. read more

All the food here is very fresh and very tasty. The chicken is juicy and tender and the beef is perfectly seasoned. The rice is absolutely delicious & their bread is made in the restaurant, I can't even explain in words how much I love this place and i'm so glad I ended up walking by the Queen location one night & stayed there for dinner with my boyfriend. great location, great service all their restaurants are delicious 11/10 for this place read more

Have so many good things to say about this place! Food - soooo good! The chef's sampler is a must. Comes with a couple of dips and warm pita. Not sure what all the dips were but they were all so yummy. Their pita is made in house and is soft, thin, and chewy. The saj pita with labni and honey is also really good. The warm honey was oozing out of the pita.. mmmm... Service- this is kind of a fast casual place where you find your own seats and pay at the counter, but apart from that, felt more like a sit down restaurant. One of our dishes (shashuka) came out a bit late and none of us complained or really even noticed (was too into devouring the rest of the food), but they offered us dessert (saj pita with halva) on the house! Four of us ordered 2 mains (chefs plate, shashuka) 2 sides (fries and saj pita) 2 drinks and got a complimentary saj pita and the bill came out to be under 60. Super good value for what you get. Can't wait to go back! read more

I've ordered delivery from this place quite a few times and they never disappoint. The Falafel and The salmon with rice are delicious. I tried baked Falafel here for the first time (i normally eat it fried) and it was better than I expected. read more

Souk Tabule is a casual and trendy place to have brunch or a late lunch; based on the menu options as none of their food items are particularly heavy dinner meals. I ate Teta's Fattush, Phoenician Fries and the Beiruti Falafel. Of the three, the falafel was the best! The falafel was wrapped in a light Saj bread and the falafel itself wasn't greasy or heavy. The falafel is accompanied by an Arabic slaw that was a little on the bland side. The fries were topped with a tahini sauce, though this added a little Arab flare, the fries were dry since tahini isn't the most dip-like sauce. The fattush was topped with Tabule so if you want both salads this is an option for you- if you wanted just Fattush then maybe not. My table also ordered a Hallum on Brioche Bun which received wonderful reviews; the Hallum pieces were nice and thick and grilled perfectly. We also ordered Zaatar Saj and cheese Saj which was also said to be really great tasting. Regarding crowds and waiting, we went on a Friday around 3 and it wasn't busy. We ordered our food and it we got it within 15 minutes. There's parking outside and it's a 5 min walk away from the distillery district if you're into walking a bit after. Overall the place had really good food and was surprisingly affordable. It would make a really cute date spot or weekday brunch. read more

One of my favourites restaurant. I think I have ordered like 10 times in a year. It's so good. They have gluten free like beef shawarma over dirty rice. Most of the dishes they have is really good. If you do take out or delivery the Beef shawarma over dirty rice is good for two days they serve a lot which you can save for another meal . Unless you are super hungry you can eat it in one go. read more

It is difficult to find if you are driving around in the area looking for it, but Souk Tabule is a bright delight in the midst of a new neighbourhood. Much airy attention has been placed into the decor of this latest Tabule venture, you might be snapping away on your camera just as much as you are on the food. Unlike the other two locations, this one takes a fast but fine casual approach (order at the front, get a number). If the elegant wall menu seems perplexing, you may want to get your hands on a paper copy for details, which they don't have many of. Then, you can watch pita bread being made, get some water from a tap near the back, or take in the sights of many faces enjoy a meal here. One of our orders took forever to arrive, and we were given some baklava as consolation. The soujuk and eggs scramble ($11) off the brunch menu was alrighty: you got your eggs and sausage proteins mixed with a refreshing cabbage slaw. I especially enjoyed the sweet roasted tomato sauciness of their shashuka ($11), comforting just like a bowl of chili. I'm not sure how to describe the Phoenician fries ($4) though--if you think sweet potato fries are a bit weird like I do, then this one is a special kind of species in the world of fries. (They do offer regular fries tho.) {TTC: 514 streetcar to Front East, or a short walk from the Distillery District. Either way it's a stroll to a condo at the very end of Front Street.} read more

Came here last night for dinner and experienced the best. service. ever. So impressed with the friendly and interested staff here!! We ordered the chef's sampler platter again (still highly recommend especially if you're indecisive and want to try all the appetizers in smaller amounts/tapas-style) and one of the staff members actually took the time to tell us all the ingredients in each sample. For one that he was unsure, he actually went back to the kitchen to inquire and came back to follow-up. Very caring. The girl at the cashier answered all my long-winded questions about the dishes and ingredients (due to my dietary restrictions). I learned that hallum cheese = fried feta + mozzarella. We ordered the Souk salad, which is pretty light and not as satisfying as other dishes since it is all vegetables - lettuce, baby kale, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, etc with a light and summery pomegranate vinaigrette already added to the salad. If you want a heavier salad, order the canary salad (recommended by the staff), which has BAKED falafels, hummus, and tahini. The hallum on a brioche sandwich was very mediocre though from a presentation, value (small), and taste... and health standpoint. The hallum cheese is very oily from frying and small. It came with a small amount of shredded beets on the side. read more

Love this chain. So great that they have a variety of vegan/vegetarian/gluten-free items that are clearly labelled and more importantly actually taste awesome! Had the falafels with rice -- good stuff. This location adds a delicious side of purple cabbage salad to the plate for some extra crunch. Also had the hummus -- never disappoints. I've also ordered the lentil soup before at this location which is delicious as well. read more

If your looking for bad experience in Toronto just simply step a foot to this place! Unbelievably rude staff! with less than ok service. The other day we went there as group at 8:30pm and we order,keep in mind that their closing time is 9. The staff guy took our order smiling and then send it out as take away! We "obviously" asked he say that any order after 8:15 will always be out as take away. We accept and start eating,after exactly 10 mins he reach to us saying that "he need this table" and stood there waited for us to leave! My friend politely asked him to give us 5 minutes and we will be going, he just simply refused and kept on looking at us! I would accept any thing from a restaurant other than being rude to the costumes!! 100% will not think of stepping a foot there nor recommending it to anybody. read more

Souk Tabule - The "staff guy " that I mentioned in my review is the one beside the girl on the cashier. Ps:not my picture obv. - Middle Eastern Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Great spot for a casual dinner. Order your meal at the front, pay, take a number, and pick a seat. The staff are super friendly and will deliver the food to your table. The interior is clean and open with cute decor. There is also a self-serve water station which was really nice. I got the kefta meatballs; comes with about 5 on a bed of rice + coleslaw. The tomato sauce is very flavorful and the rice is nicely seasoned. Coleslaw gives a freshness to the dish! Good portion size too, for a very reasonable price. Gem of the Canary District. Will definitely be back! read more

This place has mediocre food with poor service. We were here for lunch Saturday March 30, 1:30pm. I don't expect forced or fake smiles from staff but I do expect acknowledgment when being served. When my partner and I were looking at the hard to read menu on the wall behind the POS, the 2 cashiers only greeted us with stern glares. When we stepped up to order, the cashier looked off to the side blankly without a word as if we were not there (he was a taller man with a full beard). When he finally looked in our direction he remained mute. I waited for him to acknowledge us before ordering. I don't know if he was intentionally being rude or just had his head in the clouds, but from reading other reviews, this kind of service does not seem out of the ordinary here. We ordered pulled chicken on rice, falafel wrap, and Phoenician fries. Chicken on rice was dry, some kind of sauce would help. The fried falafels were fine, but could have used a bit of acid to cut the heavy savouriness. I guess the pickles were meant to do that but didn't do it well. The Phoenician fries were overpowered by the taheeni, making the za'atar and parsley redundant. I recommend going to Tabule Riverside, a better part of the Tabule restaurant group. read more

Love this place. Definitely get the tasting platter and pida (it's freshly made in house!). The portions are quite generous and we always have left overs to take home. I love their desserts too!

Souk Tabule - Sharing platter! - Middle Eastern Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

4.5! Food here was great and the service equally so. I went with three of my friends and we ordered the Chef's sampler, phoenician fries, honey labni saj, and the shakshouka. We were definitely stuffed at the end of our meal. The Chef's sampler is a must order and I highly recommend getting extra pita/saj. The three pieces that come with the platter were not enough! Our shakshouka came later than our other dishes and without us even asking the server came to apologize and comped us a free dessert. The halva saj that was equally delicious with the honey labni one. It's a very opened space and gets busy around brunch time. If you are going with a large group, try and go around 11 or afternoon to avoid lines. read more

The place has a beautiful interior and some well seasoned and unique foods. Highly recommend the fried falafel balls with hummus or baba ghanoush. The pulled chicken wrap was good but the chicken was quite dry and needs some work. The cod sandwich was overall quite good but quite messy to eat. I'll be sure to visit again and try a few more dishes. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the canary district. read more

Food and drink: Excellent! Their falafels are the best in the city - a good crunch on the outside and perfectly seasoned. The muhamara (red pepper and walnut dip) is also fantastic and so unique - an explosion of flavour! I highly recommend both! The portion sizes of the apps / sides may appear small at first, but are deceivingly filling. They have a variety of drinks (including wine in a can - what an innovation). I tried their spicy coffee - it was a bit heavy on the spice (actual chilli flakes in the drink) so I would opt for something more traditional next time. Service and atmosphere: I love the bright, airy space and the modern decor - very instagram worthy. The service is friendly but more fast casual (order at the counter, and then they bring the food to you). I was mesmerized watching one of the chefs expertly make the saj bread - I don't know how they get it so thin just by hand tossing and they puff perfectly every time! read more

This Lebanese eatery serves saj pita, which I've never tasted before. This vegan pita is thin, chewy, and freshly made on site---right before your eyes! As for what to pair it with, I particularly love their Muhamara and Beet Mutable, which I've had in their Chef's Sampler---not too shabby for value when you want to try a few things with a group. Another winning app at Souk is their flash fried cauliflower served with tahini. My friends could not stop raving about it and we could have easily devoured two orders. Besides its tasty apps, Souk Tabule also serves all day brunch and offers a number different cafe items, like lattes and fun lemonades. If you're in the neighbourhood, this place deserves a visit for good quality food and speedy service. read more

Souk Tabule - Chef's Sampler served with two saj pitas and an order of flash fried cauliflower, drizzled with tahini - Middle Eastern Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

The atmosphere is nice and the food is spicey but the service is the worst! When we stepped up to the counter to place our order, we were told flatly "you will have to wait 20 or 30 minutes because we just received two catering orders". No "sorry for the wait" or anything like that, just "maybe you should go somewhere else". Since my guest is an older fellow we decided to wait for the food. The good thing is, they serve beer! But the food is rather over spiced and you get this arabic slaw with everything. This was my third time at this location and they seem to be getting more impatient with guests (us) the more times we go. I have dined at the Yonge Street location and had a most enjoyable meal with great service, but this one falls short. Still, it is local and they serve beer so I will give it another try. read more

My first visit was really great. Food was really good and tasty. We were very happy with our lunch. We took the beef on rice, hummus and falafel. But went back there and tried their quinoa tabule salad and I was really disappointed with what they served me. It was 85% parsley, as you can see on the picture we can barely see the quinoa. So why call it quinoa tabule salad? They should name it parsley salad. And 6.5$ just for parsley I was quite angry read more

I love this place so much! It's casual dining - you just go up to order and they bring it to you. Really like this place for the food (obviously) and the decor is such a nice bonus. I shared an appetizer platter with my friend and it came with a variety of dips. It tasted really fresh and it was incredibly filling. Prices for main dishes were not too expensive either. I'd definitely go again and would recommend to anyone! read more

What a gem of a place. The food is delicately crafted. Full of alive flavors, yet subtle. All the ingredients are fresh, well sourced and the meals come out of the chefs hands in Ferrari pace. Pretty unbelievable. We are staying close by for 8 days and it's been Lebanese food all day, every day. Can't get enough of this fare. Just wish they were present back home in Southern California. Toronto is lucky to have such original ethnic food with a clean, modern spin. read more

The shakshuka was really good but we wished the eggs were runny! unsure if its really worth $13 plus tax and tip (website stated 12, didn't feel like asking about $1 difference), might be a bit much so we might not be back because we live on the opposite end where there is a decent shakshuka place too (we heard). Loved the interior and exterior! read more

I found this place after reading a review in Now Toronto. Then I checked on Yelp to find over one hundred pictures for this place. I decided it's a go. While waiting for the food, I was looking again over the pictures and it struck me: over 100 pictures for this place are posted by Diana S. (the owner) pretending to be a fellow Yelper. I am thinking maybe the restaurant's website is a better place to post all the pictures and we should allow Yelp remain a user-generated platform, without spamming the site. Now, the food was OK; not the "very generous portions" mentioned in the Now Toronto article, but quite tasty regular to small-sized portions (for example one "shakshouka" has only 3 small eggs). The food seemed fresh and made to order. I expected a more "authentic" experience (maybe more spices) but the restaurant proved to be quite main stream. I also have to mention service: while relatively decent, don't expect a 5-star service or a smile on everybody's face. The credit card machine will prompt you to leave a 15% min service charge (for bringing the food to the table), but you don't have a waiter, you have to order at the counter. I believe 3 stars is a fair review. Maybe it can get to 4 if they improve the quality of their customer service and the size of the portions. read more

We stumbled upon this place as we were in the area and were looking for a place to eat. It's a sit-in restaurant, but you order and pay first at the register, they give you a number and you seat yourself, and then they bring you your food. You also get your own water, at the side. It was pretty cool as it came out of a beer tap. I never thought I'll say this but I had fun getting water. To be honest, I had no idea what a majority of items were, when I looked at their menu on the wall. However, they had a stapled version of their menu in front of the cash register that told us what each item was. The guy at the register also recommended dishes to us. We ended up ordering a Chef's Sampler ($16) which was a variety of dips that came with 2 pitas (you could get more pitas for $3.50), Jedos Kefta Meatballs served over rice ($12), and Grilled Salmon Kebob served over rice ($13). All of which were recommended. Portion size was alright. I would have liked a bit more meat/fish on both the rice dishes. I enjoyed the sampler plate. However, 2 pitas were not enough for all the dip available. I also don't know what the pink item was that came with all the dishes, but I would not recommend. The rice that came with the Jedos Kefta Meatballs was delicious and I liked the flavour of the salmon. The meatballs themselves were nothing special. Service was good. The people there were friendly, and we were served quickly. The interior was brightly lit, clean, and nicely decorated. In all, I would come back if I were in the area. read more

THE FOOD- My colleagues & I got takeout for lunch from here. The food (like at Tabule) is delicious & filling however the menu is a bit different (and smaller) than Tabule. My shawarma was very tender and flavorful although I wish they would have let me put a few fries in it, in true Middle Eastern style. I was told I could only get a side of fries. We also got falafel & beet hummus to share and both tasted fresh & tasty. THE DRINK- They have an interesting selection of independent natural pops. I had a black cheery soda that was yummy! THE SPACE- The seating is fairly limited, it is more of a takeout place, it's a very nice space with a modern Middle Eastern vibe. THE SERVICE- We got takeout so not much to say on this front other than the takeout service was efficient, probably only took about 15 mins. read more

I visited Souk Tabule for the first time last weekend. We went in the early afternoon when it was not so busy. Therefore the serives was quite prompt... We sampled the following dishes and I would recommend them all - see notes: HUMMUS - Chickpeas, tahini, lemon garlic (good for a starter but next time i'll go with the chef's sampler) LENTIL SOUP - Pureed red lentils, carrots, celery no cream or butter (one is enough to share between two people) LEBANESE HALLUM - Seared hallum cheese, tomato, arugula, black olives drizzled in a pomegranate dressing (this was WAY better than is sounds) BEIRUTI FALAFEL PLATE Baked or fried, served over mujaddara (rice and lentils) and topped with Arabic slaw (huge portion for the price - ask for extra tahini) I'll be heading back to Souk Tabule very soon... read more

Always at it best authentic food, tasty, great presentation, friendly service. Beef Shawarma & Grilled Salmon.

Clean, trendily decored, yet comfortable and family friendly. Come for a relaxing lunch meal with friends or alone. The food will leave no conversation to be conducted.

Come warm and freshly made, you can even see the chef making it on a pillow (!!) by the counter. Highly recommend 'Chef's Platter' even if you are by yourself.

WOW this was so delicious. Homemade pitas like nothing I've ever tried. Highly recommend!

My friends and I had an incredible dinner here. We were in the Distillery District and agreed that we all wanted mediterranean food for dinner, and Souk Table was just a 10 minute walk away. It's a casual place where you can seat yourself and we didn't have to wait at all. We ordered a bunch of food and shared it all -- babaganouj, fattush salad, pita with za'atar/veg/labni (kind of like a pita pizza), batata harra (basically fried potatoes with tahini -- my favorite!), and Beirut pulled chicken over rice. Everything was so delicious!! We couldn't stop talking about it even while we were eating. Needless to say, we left very full and satisfied. This is a great choice for a quick, casual dinner that still has full-service restaurant quality. read more
