Tabuleh Cafe

Very convenient because the restaurant and market, my family enjoyed it especially herbal teas were very tasty and free, friendly and hospitable host, I recommend everyone go there

Excellent choices for any appetite or diet. Gluten-​free, vegetarian, vegan, whatever. Wide salad and soup choices and very fair prices. The menu is creative and the staff is friendly and helpful. Very clean and another positive is that the tables aren’t too crowded. Takeout or dine in, it is hard to beat for taste, value and variety. We will come often

I’m not giving up because I’ve heard such great things about Tabuleh Café, but my first foray wasn’t a great one. :(
Maybe it’s because I ordered take out, but that’s not much of an excuse since you’d expect a restaurant to be consistent in quality whether it’s take out or dine in.
Pros: delicious hummus, rice pilaf
Cons: kabob combo was skimpy (three small pieces of lamb, chicken, beef with a few veggies and a scoop of rice), very dry brown lentil rice
Like I said, I’m going to chalk this up to a bad night/​first order since I trust the personal reviews I’ve heard from friends. Until we meet again, Tabuleh Café!

1^st thing. its in the convenient store of a Sunoco gas station…
its a little odd to sit and either there even though they do have tables… you kind of eating in the back of a store while people shop and come in to grab sodas and what not.
the food:
It was pretty good. The Falafel was was pretty good. It had picked turnips in it which i could have some without… The tabuleh was amazing!
If im in the area i would stop again but for take out.

I eat there quite often service is really going downhill do not understand why and it’s not just a one-​shot deal. In fact I would say there is no service
And yesterday the food was even cold.

amazing juices! loved this place!

Stopped in here today. Can’t believe we never knew about this little gem before. They had an all-​you-​can-​eat buffet going on, but we opted to order something from their menu. The menu is small enough that it is obvious they are making everything fresh. We ordered the lamb kabobs and chicken kabobs. Both were tender and nicely spiced. Excellent! Nice selection of veggie & fruit drinks that they make from scratch. We got the Planet Cocktail. You order at the front and they bring the food to your table. Nice friendly staff. Like everyone has mentioned, it is a combination gas station, grocery, and café. The main place is really called Planet Ozone and the café is inside. The café is at the back and is a generally quiet and relaxing deli-​style area. They claim that all meats are all natural, and hormone/​antibiotic free. We are no experts on middle eastern cuisine, but we will definitely try some Falafel, Shawarma and other items next time around.

Nice selection of food for vegans. Service tends to take a long time, even for their smoothies, but it’s worth the wait… as long as you don’t bring your young children with you.

Falafel wrap and beef shawarma platter, also excellent spinach pie. An effort on cleanliness will be appreciate.

I was up in PSL and Jensen Beach for work and decided
I couldn’t bring myself to get on 95 and was driving federal all the way home to WPB. I was hungry so I Unilocaled vegetarian places cause I like to eat plant based a lot to make meat and treats taste even better when I have them and to love the planet. I immediately thought this listing looked interesting and am so glad I stopped by for a fresh juiced glass of greens and a falafel wrap! This place is really cool! The employees were a tiny bit slow but very nice and I would LOVE to see something like this open up in Palm Beach County. They have TONS of import and organic groceries and the building boasts a lot of reclaimed and green certified materials. I really enjoyed my juice and wrap. The end.

The best Falafel on the planet! On the PLANET! I repeat ON THE PLANET!!! Need I say more? This falafel is middle eastern, authentic, moist, and absolutely melts in your mouth.
Grape leaves, salads, and fresh organic juices are also top notch, flavorful, delicious.
And the store is filled with middle eastern finds, such as dry roasted chic peas, Turkish figs, candy coated almonds, halva and much much more. It’s like going to a little store in Brooklyn.
And oddly enough this place is in a gas station. The front half is middle eastern store. The back half is middle eastern restaurant! Once inside, it’s very nice, and you would never know you’re in a gas station.

Some of you are probably too young to remember the original Saturday Night Live cast in the mid 1970’s, let alone any of the classic skits they performed. Dan Akroyd, Bill Murray and Gila Radner did a commercial spoof on a fictitious product whose name I can’t even remember, but the opening lines of the ad had a husband and wife arguing back and forth over a bottle of cleaner. «It’s a floor wax … no, it’s a dessert topping … No! It’s a floor wax … No! It’s a dessert topping!» Then the announcer breaks up the fight and says «Your BOTH right! It’s a floor wax AND a dessert topping!» Long set up for a lame joke. Apologies. But that’s what the Tabuleh Café reminds me of. I’m picturing Bill and Gilda saying «It’s a gas n sip … no, it’s a restaurant … No! It’s a gas n sip …»
Well, they’re both right! The café sits inside the back half of a convenience store that sells Middle Eastern grocery items, AND outside, it’s a Sunoco gas station, too. Seems like a weird combination, but think about the food stops on Florida’s Turnpike, or Stuckey’s up in North Florida off of I-​95. Same concept, just on Federal Highway instead. The location touts itself as being very environmentally friendly and ecologically neutral, so maybe that’s a plus for you. I’m indifferent to that train of thought, so not a big deal.
I’m not sure how authentically middle eastern the dishes are — because they all look and taste different than those same dishes I’ve had at other Med cuisine restaurants, but don’t let that keep you from trying them, because everything I’ve tried is delicious. Starting with the free hot tea they have — sometimes mint, sometimes sage, or both — to warm your insides and set the mood for your stomach to start it’s engine. I’ve had shawarma — which is more or less a gyro if you’ve ever eaten at a Greek restaurant, falafel — a deep-​fried ball of mashed chick peas and other spices (like hummus, but a little different) and their namesake, Tabuleh, which is a kind of tart, relish-​like salad. Everything is fresh and organic, and made right there in front of you. Since the dining area is in the back of a convenience store, you basically have every manner of beverage to drink, sodas to juices, teas to coffees, even beer and wine, and about 100 different brands of water. They blend fresh juices there, too, but that’s just not my thing.
The transaction flow is a little weird to me though, I must be honest. You order at the counter, and then they ask you what table your going to sit at (they are numbered with a place setting card, like at a wedding). Then you get your own beverage (no cups or glasses, just right from the can/​bottle) and sit down at the table you picked. Within about 5 to 10 minutes, they bring your order to your table. After you eat, you then have to go back to the counter (the register is at the end) and bring your empty can or bottle with you, so they can add it to your order, and only then, ring it up to tell you how much you owe. Just feels awkward, but it seems to work for them, so more power to them.
So, the next time both you AND your car are low on fuel, and you’re driving around northern Stuart, put something from the Middle East in both of your gas tanks.

Being a lover of MIddle Eastern food (from the Detroit area Arab community), I was eager to try this café. I ordered my usual start point items: lentil soup, falafel platter and chicken shwarma salad. A helpful and friendly person took my order, asked which table I would be sitting at, then vanished into the chaotic open view kitchen. I sat down, drank a cup of free mint tea, and looked over the grocery items as I waited.
The shwarma came out in a few minutes and was a disappointment! The white meat strips had hardened a bit and the chop salad showed brown lines at the cut marks of the romain. The dressing, too, lacked flavor. No one told me that I was to serve myself the lentil soup. I waited, then helped myself. The soup tasted not middle eastern at all. None of the spices could be discerned. Where was the cumin? At best, the soup would do well in a vegetarian restaurant. It was tasty, though lacked national characteristics of the region. Then the falafel fiasco. They never came. When I approached the counter, the cook handed me a shrimp shwarma sandwich. I asked him for the platter, he looked at the ticket, the friendly first person intervened, he grumbled «not on the ticket» (it was, since I saw the ticket when I paid), then told me he’d make me a platter. They were terrific when I did get them. Sooo, overall … Below par for me, at any rate.
Four people in the kitchen running into and over each other cannot produce a decent product. Everyone has a bad day, I guess.
Will I return? I doubt it.

Want a reasonably priced good gluten and dairy-​free meal? This is the place to go for all kinds of Mediterranean style foods. I frequent this restaurant often and they are fast at getting your food to you. So if burgers and tacos are all you want to eat, then this is not for you, because it is totally healthy.

Here’s an idea:
Get your oil changed and your tires rotated at Tire Kingdom, walk next door and get a bowl of lentil soup at Tabuleh!
That’s what I am doing. :)

I am pretty bummed I have passed this place by for over a year or so because of the Sunoco gas station camouflaging one of the best Mediterranean places I have ever had the pleasure of. What’s better is that it is tucked behind an Asian/​Med/​Mid market. I was so happy with the tasty crunchy falafel and the smooth hummus that I actually ate here twice in the same sitting. I finished my meal and promptly ordered another round of hummus and the falafel with eggplant. They really wanted me to try the dolmas. I hate dolmas, I mean really hate them, so I was a little sad that they tossed a couple in on my plate for me to try. I LOVE DOLMAS.

So excited to have found a place with shawarmas, falafel, dolmas, tabuleh, etc. Like others have said, it’s kind of odd that it shares its location with a gas station, but don’t let that deter you! And the selection of middle eastern groceries is fantastic.
I had a Lamb Shawarma and small side order of dolmas (stuffed grape leaves). The dolmas were very nice. The shawarma had a good amount of meat and fresh veggies inside. It was slightly salty for my taste, but I know I’m sensitive/​picky about using too much salt; others may not notice a thing.
Friendly staff, clean store. I can’t wait to go back and try more! (Hey, I rhymed!)

Woohoo!
I really like this place.
They have fresh, healthy and delicious food. I really like it because the staff is very friendly and helpful.
I usually get the felafel sandwich with zucchini, it is amazing.
Make sure to try the Lentils soup that reminds me my grandma’s cooking. They have complimentary mint tea.
You can also buy spices that are hard to find in a regular stores.
Make sure to buy Homemade Hummus, is my favorite!

Visiting Jensen Beach and stumbled upon this café/​market was such a pleasant surprise! The food is fresh, flavored well, healthy & delicious. The staff was quite helpful as well. It’s located within a gas station, but rest assure its very clean & not what you would expect– but that’s what made the experience worthwhile. Will definitely be back on my next trip!

For supper, we had food from Tabuleh Café. It was really a refreshing feeling to know that there are organic and gluten-​free restaurants here in Stuart. I have not dined in at this location but we have ordered food to-​go. For an organic food place, they have a good selection of food on their menu and the prices are affordable.
We tried their salmon, chicken, and beef. The best was the chicken, second best salmon. The beef was not very well cooked, it was very dry and tasted like after it was taken off the pan, was left to sit in a cool temperature. It is disappointing for a beef lover who is allergic to fish and not a fan of chicken to have a poor eating experience with beef. Other than that, I really enjoyed their hummus. Their drinks are delicious too. Not so much a wheatgrass fan but the pear grapefruit with beet carrot was a definite favorite.
I really am looking forward for more open locations and similar organic gluten-​free restaurants around this area because it’s such a great way to promote healthy eating habits and a positive lifestyle! Love the idea. Please keep up the great work!
