I will have multiple posts today so be sure to check back! First up I'm VERY EXCITED to tell you that there is a NEW restaurant in town! Yup! In the small town where I live there is a new eating establishment that opened on Monday called Tabouli. It's a Mediterranean Snack Bar and Cafe. They have MANY vegetarian and vegan options available and they are clearly marked on their menu as such! None of my co-workers have ever had Mediterranean Food (other than Greek Mediterranean Food, that is) so I brought a few things back for them to try!
In the first photo above is their Falafel made with Chickpeas, Onions, Parsley, and seasoning. Some of you know I'm a HUGE fan of Falafel so of course I adored this! I will note...their Tahini Sauce is made with Yogurt so I offered that to a co-worker as it isn't vegan. Their Hummus is the vegan option for this. Both are shown.
The other photo is of their Lentil Soup. It's a thinner soup and the Lentils appeared to be ground and not whole. The caramelized onions kicked the flavor up a notch! YUM!
I know I will be ordering a LOT from Tabouli so be on the look out for more posts! It's a block from where I work so I'm sure they will get to know me real well - and I - them!
Yum, I haven't had falafel in forever and that looks amazing! And I never get enough of lentil soup! I wonder if they used red lentils because they break down and turm creamy.
ReplyDeleteYup! It was a creamier soup for sure! They did use Red Lentils! I bet that is why they did use them!
DeleteIt's always so exciting when new places open up with vegan food! The lentil soup sounds perfect! :D
ReplyDeleteEspecially around here! LOL - we always crave more restaurants!
DeleteOooh this looks amazing! There is nothing better than good Mediterranean food. Seriously my favorite :)
ReplyDeleteOne of my faves, too!!! YUMMERS!
DeleteI know all too well the excitement of a new restaurant opening up. Especially when there are vegan options. Glad the Lentil Soup was flavorful, I have had thin Lentil Soups before, but as long as they season them, it's okay.
ReplyDeleteIt was thin. The more I ate it the more I liked it. The Caramelized onions made it I think!
DeleteThat is so exciting and the food sounds great! Now I'm craving falafel!
ReplyDeleteThe Falafel was my FAVE so far. They were out of Tabouli the other day or I would have tried that, too! Next time I go I will have to try it!
DeleteThe food looks great. I have no idea what I'll be making today. I did make a lentil dish a little over a week ago. That was delicious.
ReplyDeleteCan't got wrong with lentils! LOVE EM! It was so wonderful chatting with you today! Thanks so much for calling! I'm glad you are back blogging, too!!! YAY!
DeleteIsn't it great when a new place opens that you can eat at?!
