Absolutely incredible food, service, and quality. Wow! Cannot believe we waited so long to try this wonderfully-run restaurant. Shoutout to Oscar who was very welcoming. My husband and I stopped in for lunch and truly couldn't believe the variety of protein options on the menu, let alone the colorfully-fresh toppings available. We tried a Pier Bowl with chicken shawarma and all the delicious add-ons I wanted. My husband got a falafel wrap and a shawarma wrap -- both were beautifully prepared and even yummier to eat. We ate outside and enjoyed the ease of a healthy lunch. Cannot wait to come back when looking for a healthy, fast option in San Clemente. read more

Ordered the Pier Bowl with chicken. Delicious, very fresh and filling. Can't wait to go back!

We ordered a custom bowl with Chicken kabob with greens, arugula, carrots, cilantro, hummus, tabouli, quinoa , garlic spread, and chimichuri sauce. It was so refreshing ! Staff was very polite and helpful read more

The ambiance is low key. It's clean but kind of divey. Very casual setting. The food looks healthy and is very flavorful as well. It looks very simple but it tastes really good. Lots of great, fresh flavors. The service is great too. Very polite and friendly. It's a welcoming. Very kind. Overall five stars well deserved. Portions are smaller but filling. read more

Small place putting out phenomenal food. Very customizable, pick your protein and sauce for a bowl, salad, or wrap form. Falafel wrap was great, good size with a good mix of veggies. HIGHLY recommend the cilantro lime sauce, that put the wrap over the top. Small interior with a few tables outside, plenty of parking. Very attentive, knowledgeable staff that guide you through the process and are very willing to give recommendations. read more

Food tonight for the 4 of us (2 small boys) was excellent!!! Everything was fresh as can be. We have come before but I'll be sure to come back sooner now. Grape leaves, tabouli, and gyro meat garlic sauce all delish!!!! Can't wait to come back. The owners are so nice and friendly :) super casual inside to eat there. Go! read more

It's my first time at Tabule !! I live super close and always pass in front of it thinking I should try their food. One word " authentic" food. SO Delicious. Honestly the best Greek wrap I tried in this area. 100% recommenced. So so go. I'm glad I stopped. Now I know where to order the authentic Greek food . 10 stars no 5!!! read more

Never again! I tried it once and that's it. Food is cold, dry and not "fresh". The protein tastes old, like recycled from the day before. And the price is also quite steep for a lousy wrap. Because of this, I won't go back again after this disappointing experience. It's a rip-off! read more

Wow, this place "slaps" (for you Gen Z'ers)! Amazing food quality. The chef was preparing the chicken on the grill when I came in, so I knew it was going to be fresh. The veggies / sides look clean and well prepared. I had a build your own bowl, and everything tasted phenomenal. The service was also outstanding. The chef came out and answered some ingredients questions I had about the dressings, and the lady working the counter was friendly and accommodating. Small, locally owned shop in San Clemente. Let's keep this place alive! read more

Friendly staff, excellent food and generous portions. Garlic chicken was tender, gyro was absolutely delicious. A very pleasant experience, will definitely recommend and plan to return when in the area. read more

Crazy great. *CRAZY* great! Almost everyone fails at falafel, but not this place; it's bright green from parsley, fluffy and cronchy, none of the dense hockey puck yucks so many other Mediterranean places fail on (the owner, Oscar, mentioned there's no wheat flour in it, thus it's gluten-free). The deep, umami tahini sauce served with it paired beautifully, and so did the garlic spread. For out first time in, my brother and dad and I wanted to have as wide a variety as possible, so we ordered the "small" family meal with beef, chicken, and gyro meat, quinoa and brown rice, salad, with cilantro sauce and tzatziki sauce for the main sauces. We added on the four falafel ala carte, and Oscar gave us some small samples of the whipped garlic and chimichurri to taste. The shwarma-style chicken was deeply marinated, ultra juicy, the gyro meat was perfectly spiced and savory, the beef was pretty good, but we were in love with the chicken, gyro, and falafel. Every sauce went great on basically every protein, and *every* sauce was better than the last. Ordering individual bowls is going to be very difficult! Oscar is a super-welcoming, affable guy, happy to talk about the food and guide you through all the choices. Definitely let him help guide you if you aren't sure what flavors are going to go together! read more

Amazing Mediterranean cuisine, large portions for a great price. Owners are super friendly and helpful- a must try!

Ordered the Big Sur plate with chicken kabob for takeout tonight; taste was amazing, and the portion was very large for the price. I will definitely be back to try the bowls! read more

Great food, Great service. The ice maker wasn't working but they had ice for everyone if you wanted it. Make your own bowl was great! read more

First timer. Menu was confusing....for a first timer. Food was legit. Great taste. Good Quantity and Quality. Will definitely be back. read more

Healthy and delicious! I am so excited because I am starting a Whole Foods diet, and there are so many options at this place that are already cooked, which will help me with meal planning. Lentils, quinoa, hummus, and a really great chimichurri that could be used on vegetables and stuff. read more

San Clemente's delightful new Mediterranean restaurant. Kebab Big Sur plate $18. Chicken was flavorful, juicy and delicious with rice, hummus, pita, and salad which did need more dressing. Chimichurri sauce was phenomenal. Falafel's were tasty and cooked perfectly. Soft opening for three weeks with limited menu, but looking forward to trying steak kebab and gyros. The owner Oscar is friendly & welcoming. Recommended! read more

Tabouli Kitchen - Delicious chicken kebab Big Sur plate $18, plus a side of tasty falafel's. - Mediterranean Near Me - San Clemente, California

Ordered takeout from here. When I thanked the employee, she responded with an apathetic 'yea.' No problem, everyone has bad days. I ordered the chicken kebab plate. Hummus, salad and tzatziki were great. Ingredients were very fresh. But the rice had no flavor...and the chicken was raw inside. Food had really great potential, but I just can't excuse raw chicken. Thankfully, I didn't get sick from it. read more

This was one of the worst places I've ever been to. The hummus was grainy, mealy, had a funky taste and tasted rancid. I've never tasted anything so gross. One bite I had to spit out. I would never recommend this place or go here. This is not an authentic Mediterranean or Greek restaurant. read more

Did large family meal. It was excellent. Good portions. Definitely positive experience.

Great and delicious! First time trying it, I ordered takeout for lunch. I ordered the pier bowl with everything on it, my protein choice was chicken and the cilantro lemon Greek sauce. Very delicious for a last minute meal. Ordered online and service was fast. Will definitely return again. read more

Love this restaurant! Delicious food, fresh ingredients, great portions and value! I got the family meal to split with my husband and toddler and we even had leftovers for the next day. The chicken is so good - flavorful and tender and even my toddler enjoys it even though she refuses to eat any other chicken. The other items are equally as delicious- loved the hummus, tabouli side, the salad with the standard lemon dressing, and even the lettuce leaves are fresh! It's now my favorite restaurant and takeout option in the neighborhood. So happy we have a healthy and delicious option nearby, perfect for anyone but especially families who need help with a meal. read more

Only thing good was the gyro meat. Chicken was extremely dry. Hummus was fine. Had to wait a long time for take out. I will drive further for better food. read more

Placed an on line order with them but when I showed up to get the order they were closed. Talked to them about getting a refund and was told they would let the manager know. Called 2 other times and couldn't get refund. Sad part is that I am a regular customer. read more

Unbelievably delicious. Haven't stopped thinking about this place since we visited. 10/10

It's my go to lunch spot. It's a bit on the pricier end since it's more of a "grab to go" type of thing but it's still really good. Also a big fan of the guys that work there, they're always super nice read more

First time eating at the new spot in San Clemente. The menu is simple but tasty. Ingredients fresh. Staff super friendly. Had the falafel plate and they were fresh, light and crispy - as they should be. Looking forward to getting back soon and trying more of the menu!! read more

Wow stopped here because Mediterranean sounded good and we were NOT disappointed. Great portion sizes for the price. Mostly though the flavor was incredible. All the sauces were amazing. Tabouli was so fresh. I loved the feta with the garlic paste. Meats were very tender and not dry at all. Gyro was authentic. It all tastes very fresh. I love how they had fresh veggies and greens to add to our bowl. We will be back! read more

Great service and great food. We are so pleased with our plate and bowl, all ingredients are fresh.

The food was delicious, healthy, and generous and the staff friendly and detail oriented. The chicken wrap had salad, hummus, sauce, and tender chunks of marinated real chicken wrapped in a huge soft pita. The bowl was packed with the same tasty ingredients along with rice. We'll definitely pick up here again when visiting the area. read more

Incredible food and service! Flavors are unique and authentic. Everything is fresh and made to order. Truly some of the best food in Orange County! read more

Super delicious! Healthy quality, fast easy. This will definitely be our go to spot! Get the bowl!

Best falafel! Great attention to detail in their food with great flavors. I highly recommend Tabouli.

This place is so good! The meat is cooked to perfection and the hummus and all of the sauces are delicious. This area really needed a good Mediterranean place. Will definitely be coming here all the time from now on! read more

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. read more

Wow. Delicious. Ordered a chicken bowl and loved it. Wish I had this place closer to my home.
