Tabooli

When they first opened two years ago, their prices were so much better, and the food was outstanding. Now, it is so ridiculously over priced, and the quality of the food has taken a nose dive. The chicken is now just plain. Has become a disappointment.

The food I’d damn good the prices are damn high. Two weeks ago I went here and my bowl was overflowing. Today it’s almost empty. 14.00 for a bowl a side and a drink is not a good deal but it tastes nice. If ur trying to be cheap quit bitching and go to a buffet. If your trying to get good food at a fair price then this is your place. Cheap isn’t good and good isn’t cheap.

I lunched at Tabooli while I was back in Michigan for the winter holidays. I grew up in MIchigan and think I know good Middleeastern food and now live in Seattle where there is a definite lack of the cuisine. Tabooli satisfies the cravings for Middleeastern but I would not frequent here if I lived in the area as there are definitely better Middeeastern restaurants for very similar prices.
Pros are that it is fast, cheap, customizable and has food that is probably better suited for those not accustomed to the flavors of the Middle East.

Eat here! Go now!
Came here with our family because my husband has been here a few times and loved it. Both the beef and chicken schwarma are great. Beef stew is delicious. Our favorite is the ratatouille! Super friendly staff who offered us free samples of everything and even gave our kids a free dessert. We’ll be back for sure!

Its a very good place to go for Meditranian food. it is like subway style that you create your own bowl. you can eat a lot there and the food is awesome.
I got their chicken shawarma and hummus which were great.
The guy explained the foods very well.

This is a new casual dining Mediterranean restaurant on the east side of Lansing. It has the set up of a Chipotle, with the choice between a wrap or a bowl. I chose the chicken shawarma bowl as my main course. The first person behind the counter scoops in the rice, the shawarma, and (if you want) a little bit of potatoes. Then, the next person behind the counter adds toppings to your bowl or wrap. The choices for toppings include feta, onions, olives, pickles, turnips, hummus, tabouli, fattoush, other things that I couldn’t identify, plus the amazing Mediterranean salsa. Everything was really great– everyone in my group was pleased. The owner seems to take an active and welcoming approach to running a restaurant, I hope they are around for a long time!
A main dish plus a side gets you a free drink as part of the trio promotion. Most of these combos seemed to be right under $ 10.
Dessert options are ladyfingers (rolled phyllo dough with nuts) 1 for .75 or 2 for $ 1 or some sort of pudding. The lady fingers were good.
An interesting and tasty twist on traditional Mediterranean food. (4 stars)
I had leftover Mediterranean salsa and the owner gave me more chips on the house to eat with my leftovers. And their tip jar says «for TARDIS repairs. (+ 1 extra star).

This is a new restaurant to the Lansing area. I decided to give it a try, I love Mediterranean food.
I like that it is set up a «chipotle style.» You can choose a wrap or a bowl. today I decide to get a bowl, you can pick anywhere from chicken or beef shawarma, chicken kebabs, stew and so on. Today I got beef shawarma bowl with tabouli, hummus, Mediterranean salsa and fattoush salad.
The beef shawarma was pretty good no complaints. They have really good hummus and pita bread. The fattoush salad was delicious. It’s probably my favorite, never had it like that before. This was my first time having mediterranean salsa it was absolutely delicious, I picked the olives out.
I love tabouli, it’s one of my favorite mediterranean dishes. However at this restaurant they add mint. Yuck. I was so disappointed. I’m not a fan a mint unless it’s in my toothpaste, gum, or mojito. The garlic sauce, yuck!!! Their recipe isn’t didn’t work for me. It’s wasn’t garlicky enough.
Overall it’s a pretty good restaurant. It is a little smoky in there because of the grills I wish that they would’ve opened a window or door and the manager was yelling at his employees in front of the customers I didn’t think that was very professional.

The staff here is great, tip them. The food is – let’s agree that it is Mediterranean Fast Food and you get what you pay for. This is at least a departure and a healthier option than what you might otherwise consider.
It is set-​up like Subway, Chipotle, and Tamaki– you begin with a base meal and add on whatever you want. It feels as though the flavors are slightly toned down to appeal to a broader spectrum of palates, but everything is fresh and the portions are generous.
Go here. Try it. Go back, try something else. It’s worth more than one visit.

We stopped by for dinner on the way to Sparrow hospital to visit my grandmother. My daughter was meeting us so we had about 20 minutes to kill. We ordered hummus and bread and drinks while we waited. The owner came to our table and chatted with us almost the whole time. He was very friendly and enthusiastic and brought us two different free samples to try — lentil soup and ratatouille — both were delicious. I tried something new for me — the Mediterranean burger and it was great and very flavorful. My husband and daughter both had bowls. They did both think that the chicken shwarma and tabouli were a little dry. However, the flavors were great and our overall experience was wonderful. We will definitely stop there again.
