Love this place, and love their catering. I remember when they first opened and my family and I opted to dine there and we were blown away at how spot on the food was. Tender chicken kebab, flavorful beef lule kebab, kibbeh was excellently executed and was not dripping of oil like other places, lemony hummus (the lebanese way) and so on. I recently also tried their catering at a party and was so happy that everything was still spot on! read more

Food was delicious!! My favorite was the eggplant tower! Authentic Lebanese food, and good service! Will definitely be back!!

What a wonderful find in Ridgewood! The food is absolutely fantastic and authentic Lebanese! The hot grape leaves were like my grandmother made and the eggplant tower was delicious! The whole bronzino was perfect! The service was great! Of course the tabbouleh was excellent! I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

We've been coming here since they first opened, back when it was smaller and honestly great. That's why this was so disappointing. We placed a $330 takeout order and were given a pickup time. When I arrived, the place was about 70% full and completely chaotic. You could feel it right away. A young server, clearly his first day, was trying his best, but there wasn't enough support. The owner was yelling at him and another waitress instead of managing the situation. Customers were getting up and leaving, others were frustrated and waiting with no direction. This wasn't a staffing issue alone, it was a leadership issue. No organization, no control of the front end, and blame being pushed onto employees instead of stepping in and running the room. We ended up waiting an hour and a half past the promised pickup time. When the food finally came out, I asked if everything was there, and got a quick, dismissive "yes." Got home and realized nearly half the order was missing. Called multiple times, no answer. I don't write reviews like this, but this was easily the worst takeout experience we've had anywhere. And judging by what I saw, we weren't the only ones. It's a shame, because the food has been good. But if they don't fix how this place is run, they're going to lose customers fast. read more

We have been going to Tabboule for many many years. They serve the best Mediterranean/Lebanese cuisine around. We have introduced many friends to Tabboule and they too have raved about them. Not only is the food delicious but the owner, Chuck and Caroline are exceptionally warm, nice and welcoming. They take pride in this wonderful restaurant. Try their fattouche salad and Kafta Kebab platter. They're my favorite. But there's so much more for you to enjoy. Bon apetit. read more

Great, tasty food. Quick delivery with all the sources the garlic banana is highly recommended and the lamb chops. read more

Tabboule - Lamb chops and chicken - Lebanese Near Me - Ridgewood, New Jersey

I had to come for the 2nd time before writing a review. Food was amazing, prices were within Ridgewood standard service was top notch. If you are in the mood for an authentic Lebanese food this is the place. Since everything is made fresh it does take a little longer to get the food but well worth it. read more

Let's start with the toilet seat. It was so loose when lifted that I considered crawling underneath to tighten it so an older person wouldn't kill themselves on it. No spare roll of TP anywhere to be found. I ordered the falafel with grilled vegetable pita sandwich. It was falafel with lettuce and tomato. That's it. $20 bucks. Tasted it could have been bought in any deli for $8 bucks. By the way, we picked up a take out menu from them last week, and the menu prices were about 20% higher. Not fair. Order new take out menus if you change prices. My wife said her chicken kabob platter was edible at best. Rice was tasteless. There was 1 service person who was just so dumb and inexperienced that I will be kind and not get personal about. Not going back ever. read more

This was a very nice restaurant. Love that they have a "patio" area that is indoor but has open windows so you're not sitting outside on the sidewalk but it is open air. The fried calamari appetizer was delicious. I had the beef kabobs which was still pink in the middle and was seasoned so well. Loved it. WMy friend had the shredded beef and chicken platter and was disappointed. It was dry and rather tasteless. While there was sauce on the side and table, it didn't really help the fact the meat was disappointing. The Lebanese coffee was delicious. Overall the food was very good though. read more

Tabboule - Lebanese Near Me - Ridgewood, New Jersey

Have always enjoyed our meals at Tabbouleh. Simply the best mezzas including hummus and muhamara. Falafel also great. My husband loves the soups and the shawarma trio combination. Very friendly service. Flexible for those with celiac. Great rice and beans side dish. Crazy vegetarian eggplant tower. read more

Food was ok. Never got one appetizer and received the wrong bill. After we paid our bill we did get the appie on the house!

My first visit. Drove an hour and it was well worth it. Food was exceptional and authentic. Reminder me of my Grandmother's cooking. Ample street parking. Can't wait to return. read more

Wow! What isn't there to say! My family and I broke fast here and were met with the most incredible meal. From start to finish, nothing disappointed. The star of the show for many of us was the lentil soup. Hands down one of the best ones we've ever had. All the cold appetizers were delicious, the stand out was the beets tahini. The hot appetizers were equally as delicious. The salads were fresh, main meat platters were incredible. And who doesn't love ending a meal with Dubai chocolate bars!!! Will be back with more friends and family! read more

Clean bathrooms, tasteful décor, and food quality that's truly out of this world. Every detail made the experience stand out!

We were a party of four. Shared falafel and hummus as appetizers. Hummus was creamy and delicious. We all had different entrees, and we all enjoyed them. They were plentiful and very tasty. The service was excellent and attentive. The place looked clean and neat. Parking in Ridgewood is a nightmare on a weekend night, but we found adequate parking in the municipal parking garage around the corner. read more

I just had the most flavorful meal! The Dubai chocolate was also amazing! Hands down... a delicious experience!!!

We held my mom's 70th birthday party at Tabboule and were absolutely thrilled with the results! We considered three other restaurants and decided on Tabboule by word of mouth and reputation. Caroline and Chuck (her assistant ;) ) went above and beyond to make sure that the food and service were stellar. We later found out that they had catered a party for 400 people earlier in the day, and we really appreciated the work they did for our party, as well. The meal was as follows: humus, baba ganoush, cucumber yogurt dip, falafel, fattoush salad, chicken and kafta kabobs, and lamb gyro with rice and pita bread for the dip. Very generous portions at an extremely reasonable price. We had 24 people and everyone came away happy and full. Dishes were served family style in their charming and convenient space (90 N Maple) although they plan to move to the new space on Ridgewood Ave any day now. Everyone was raving about the food. Can't wait to order catering or a meal from here again! Excited to see the new space, too. Thank you, Caroline and Chuck! (PS - we didn't get any pictures of the food because we were too busy eating!) read more

Food is awesome and people are so nice! Will definitely be coming back here soon - amazing!

I have reviewed in the past as Tabboule is always delicious, and after a recent excellent catering experience, it warranted an updated 5-Star review. After a previous arrangements we had made with another restaurant for a large family party we were hosting the day after Thanksgiving fell through at the last minute, we gave Tabboule a call and are so happy we did. Spoke with Chuck the owner and not only were they happy to accommodate at the last minute, but they also went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. They provided an impressive spread of food with generous portions and all at a very reasonable price. All of our guests were raving about the meal. Wouldn't hesitate to order catering or a regular meal from here again. Definitely check it out! read more

Tabboule - (From Left, Clockwise) Falafel, Hummus, Fattoush Salad, Babaghanoush, Special Eggplant Dip (not sure if this is on menu but was delicious!!) - Lebanese Near Me - Ridgewood, New Jersey

Tabboule is one of best restaurants in Bergen County. Truly authentic Lebanese cuisine. I've been going for a decade now. There is an incredible range of dishes. If you're interested in something healthy and plant based try the moosaka, the grilled vegetable sandwich, the Lebanese rise and beans, the hummus, the labneh, and the lentil soup. All of these are done differently than at Turkish or other Mediterranean themed restaurants. The Lebanese style is distinct. Also, don't forget to try the Lebanese cheese. The grilled Haloumi and the cheese sticks. I've also gotten the meat and fish dishes for family and been very satisfied. The owner is very accommodating and happy to talk to you about the food if you have any questions. read more

Amazing food!!! So delicious. We had the fried cauliflower and the beef kebab highly recommend

Service service !! Understaffed. Took over an hour to get food from time ordered. With that long of a wait - food should arrive perfect. Sadly it wasn't. read more

Lebanese. I feel that. Ordered through seamless in a pinch. Not much seamless selection in my area. Delivery time was within the provided range. Got the mixed grill platter and babaganoush. The meat was seasoned well, but I have had more tender kabob meat that was juicier. This was pretty good though. Loved the babaganoush. Almost missed the delicious garlic sauce! Wish we had more of that sauce, the takeout cup was tiny. There was also a tahini sauce included. It came with salad, rice, and pita. Would order again if we're lazy and don't want to cook or go out. Pretty healthy meal, protein rich and not heavy. read more

Tabboule - Mixed grill platter - Lebanese Near Me - Ridgewood, New Jersey

Continuing our discovery of new places in Northern New Jersey - came across Tabboule. Located in a strip mall (for now), a tucked away Lebanese restaurant, no frills (as they will be moving in a couple of months to a bigger location with outdoor seating etc.,). The food was reaaallly good. We started off with Falafel, and something we hadn't tried.. Muhammara - a spread with walnuts, pomegranate, chili and peppers. Really liked it. Also had the Haloumi... which we like (cheesy goodness). We also ordered the mixed grill platter, a shawarma platter and the lamb gyros (btw, there were four of us... not just Rob and I being gluttons). Everything was fresh, hot and tasty. We also tried the halwa (sesame seeds/honey/pistachio) and the baklava for dessert. Really happy to have found this place in Ridgewood... will for sure be back. If you are in the mood for good low key Lebanese food, give Tabboule a try...don't forget to bring your own wine as it is BYOB. read more

Tabboule - Lebanese Near Me - Ridgewood, New Jersey

out of this world hummus and baba!!! The owners are also very friendly! I give this restaurant a 10 out of 5 star! :))))

The sign on the door read waiter/waitress wanted and boy could they use it! One guy running half the kitchen, answering phones, seeing to takeout orders and waiting tables! But he did it all effectively without so much as a scowl. Onto the food, everything was terrific! Lebnah was perfectly creamy and garlicky.( suggestion- warm the pitas) Lemon-garlic chicken thighs delivered a service flavor punch. Shawarma combo was huge and very tasty. Both dishes came with a vampire killer garlic sauce as well as shredded cabbage, sliced tomatoes and red onions. Overall, a great dining experience! Definitely coming back. PS BYO read more

Such a great restaurant. The owner and staff are so friendly, accommodating and all around wonderful people. And the food...SO yummy. All freshly made to order and great portions.

Visited this past Friday for lunch and my table ordered the hummus, beets tahini and stuffed grape leaves for appetizers. For our main dishes we ordered the Tabboule Salad w/ Falafel, a Chicken Kabob Platter, and a Chicken Kibbe Platter. Of course, we had to end with dessert (pictured below). Everything was absolutely delicious. Please go and support this small business - you will not be disappointed! read more

Tabboule - Delicious slice of Baklava with a cup of Lebanese coffee - Lebanese Near Me - Ridgewood, New Jersey

This was my first experience with Lebanese food and it was fabulous. Food was delivered promptly by helpful staff in a welcoming and friendly atmosphere.. The healthy menu fits in neatly with the Mediterranean Diet: vegetables, legumes, lean meats, shrimp, and chicken, all absolutely fresh. Try the uniquely shaped falafel, the muhamara (red pepper dip with walnuts, just scrumptious) chicken kabobs over salad, and don't forget to try the lemonade, refreshing and tasty. Two thumbs up! read more

This is "The Place" I have been there 50+ times and it never disappoints! The shawarma combo platter is one dish that is always finished! The owners are sweethearts and I am always met with a smile. The lemon oil dressing for the salads is Legendary! read more

I stumbled upon this place while roaming around Ridgewood and I'm elated that I found this gem! I grabbed a menu and placed an order for take-out. My boyfriend and I ordered the sambousek, fattouche salad with chicken shawarma, hummus and kenafeh for dessert. Caroline was a sweetheart and the food was fantastic. I didn't take a picture of it all because we scarfed it all down so quickly. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. Highly recommend! Shukran! We'll definitely be back. read more

Great food great service nice place I really like the owners and it is a cute place good for families
