My delicious felefal in pita came stuffed with an israeli salad and tahini. And I added ingredients from small serving bowls of pickeled cabbage, a Yeminite hot sauce with cilantro, jalopena, and olive oil, and dill pickle slices. Also the eponymous tabouli on the plate. My partner had the felefal platter, replete with a delicous smooth hummus and a side of Megadarra, a tasty combination of sweet rice, carmalized onions, and green lentils. The baklava was generous, sweet and nutty and baked on premises. As opposed to Layla and Myrna, this is a pita based middleeastern rather than wrap driven. I found my falafel sandwich less dense than the others, and somehow, there's that word again, fresher. I do prefer Layla's baklava, which are just the best I've ever had -- any where in the world. We checked out the brownie, which looked good, but did not have frosting and nuts -- which I like in a brownie. This is Israli MiddleEastern, where as the othera are Lebanese. There's a nice writeup on the menu of the auspices behind Tabouli -- one Judy Roll, with serious credentials from CIA (california), Wolfgang's Spago, and her own very successful and highly regarded bakery at the JCC on Newfield. The menu offerings are bit too small. Just like the napkins (Judy agreed) But I have a hunch this place could be a big hit. There is a nice no nonsence simplicity here.

Do you recall? Tue Sep 15 14:40:05 -0700 2009 5030829 11120 adamclyde 2 5032781 Their website has a sample menu with prices - I imagine this is their actual menu since they only just opened, but I haven't stopped by to check it out yet (hoping to this weekend!) http://www.tabouligrill.com/ Tue Sep 15 17:52:22 -0700 2009 5032345 111441 gillyweed 1 5077418 Judy Roll does not own nor does she have relationship or affiliation with Sweet on You, the highly regarded bakery you mention located inside the JCC.

I have had lunch (take out) from there twice now, and both meals were very good. Even my Dad loved the baba ganoush ... something he usually detests. A very welcome addition to the rather thin Stamford scene. Sun Oct 04 11:30:58 -0700 2009 5030829 18482 LTSomma 2 5084833 LTSomma and Louuuuuu I too am with you. Took friends there on Friday night. Place was packed. Service was friendly, food fantastic. So much fresher than other Middle Eastern restaurants I have been too. We had the combo appetizer and loved it. Going back this week with coworkers. I think the prices are very reasonable. Wed Oct 07 05:29:58 -0700 2009 5078260 1114477 fewdie 1 5108164 I must say that even though food tastes fresh, the menu looks a bit overpriced for lunch. I paid 10 $ for a lamb kabob of a size not deserving of a 10$ tag on it. I would have enjoyed it more if the pita bread was not overstuffed and the hummus/tahina was not dripping. It is worth checking different options for lunch.

The manager was rude and made me sign some stupid form in order to get a beer and she also question the validity of my drivers licenece i don't know what kid of establishment they are trying to run but in my opinion It is not a very good one. They are over priced and there pita sandwiches are not extreamly sloppy and the aluminum foil wrap is just a big eye sore.

Which means only one thing that Chef microwaves the food I was not what i expected at all Sat Nov 21 11:27:58 -0800 2009 5030829 1126339 jtfoods 2 5198863 This person has no relationship to jfood.
