Tarbouch Cafe - Arlington

I found the food to be quite tasty, and there was a large selection of options to choose from. Overall, I enjoyed my experience. However, we ordered the potatoes and many of them were undercooked, which was quite disappointing. The stuffed grape leaves were also lacking in portion. On a positive note, the flatbread, cauliflower, and shrimp were all absolutely delicious.

Food was good and it was not expensive. It was a cute spot and I would recommend if you like Mediterranean food. I also had a fresh mango smoothie. My food tasted way better than it looked. I would definitely go back here and try some other items.

Tarbouch closed in late 2020 for renovations but it's now open again. The outside façade is updated, and the patio area is now enclosed with tile flooring. The presentation of the food is really nice they serve it on custom wooden cutting boards. The food is absolutely delicious! We loved everything we ordered: the beef shawarma, the tawook and the Jerusalem salad. The prices are very, very reasonable, and it's good value for money. We came around 7 pm and it wasn't too busy but I could see more folks arriving by the time we left. The only negative is that nobody is wearing masks. So, if you're adverse to that, don't go. We went 11 days ago and neither of us have COVID yet.

Love this place! Food is great, their arguile is good and they let you just hangout without pressuring you to leave by giving you the check as other restaurants here do.Service really depends on the waiter you get but we love Zeinab, she's amazing!

This restaurant was quite busy for a Monday night, which I took into account. However, there were only two waitresses, and only one of them seemed able to take orders (hopefully, it was just her first night). I ordered a shisha and a pot of tea, but after 20-25 minutes, the shisha still hadn’t arrived. I was able to drink half a cup of tea before I had to leave unexpectedly. When I asked the first waitress for the check, she went off to find the second waitress. There was also a heavily tattooed, hunched manager there, who seemed to be present mainly for show. I asked the manager for the check as well, and he too started looking for the second waitress. It seems like she might deserve a raise. Overall, it was a strange night and an odd experience at the restaurant.
