Tabouli Kitchen

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!

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!!

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

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!

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!

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.

Amazing food with great flavor and good atmosphere. Staff was helpful in helping us make a delicious decision on what to order

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!

Wow wow wow this is fresh food done right! Chicken is moist and the bowl was a great portion size. Will be back often :)

Wow! Healthy and tasty! Amazing flavors and so fresh. Mediterranean all the way through. Love the kiss of lemon on the greens. The chicken was spiced beautifully and had amazing visual appeal. Portions were good. Left wanting more. Oink oink. This will definitely register as one of my go to lunch spots.
