First time trying Lebanese food at Tabbouleh Lebanese Restaurant and woah… it was such a different experience 👀✨
I tried their lamb kofta and honestly, it changed my impression of lamb meat completely. I always thought lamb would be super hard and chewy, but theirs was surprisingly soft and easy to eat, very friendly for people like me who don’t like chewing too much HAHAHA 😭 The squeeze of lemon on top made it even more flavourful and refreshing.
It was also my first time trying the long rice (vermicelli rice)! The texture is quite similar to our usual white rice, but I feel white rice has a slightly sweeter taste compared to this.
AND THE LEMONADE 🤌🏻🤌🏻
Definitely one of the best lemonades I’ve tried before. You could still see the crushed lemon pieces on top, which made it taste extra fresh 🍋 The drink was SUPER tall too, so I honestly felt it was worth the price.
Will I visit again?
Yes 100% 😭✨ Maybe next time I’ll finally try their desserts because this time I was way too full already.

Trying Lebanese cuisine for the first time can be quite the adventure, especially if you're used to staples like usual white rice. From my experience, dishes like the lamb kofta offer a unique texture and flavor that can change your view on ingredients you might have found unappealing before. For instance, I had always thought lamb would be tough and chewy, but the version at Tabbouleh was tender and easy to enjoy. The vermicelli rice served alongside was an interesting twist on the more familiar white rice. Though it’s a bit different in sweetness and texture, it pairs wonderfully with the rich, savory flavors of the meat dishes. If you’re curious about how these differ from your usual rice, it’s definitely worth trying. Don’t miss out on their lemonade—seeing real crushed lemons floating on top adds a fresh zing that’s hard to find elsewhere, making it a perfect complement to the meal. Plus, the generous portion size means you really get value for your money. If you’re visiting Haji Lane, make sure to stop by Tabbouleh Lebanese Restaurant not just for the food but also for the experience of savoring something new. Next time, I plan to try their desserts, which I’ve heard are as delightful as the main courses.
Honestly I’m not really used to the anion thingy 😭 felt a bit strange for me personally, but overall still quite good!
