Tabbouleh

Tabbouleh Lebanese Restaurant brings authentic Levantine cuisine to Bussorah Street in Kampong Gelam, operating steps from Sultan Mosque within Singapore's historic Arab quarter where Middle Eastern food naturally concentrates. Helmed by Muzaffar Khan, the establishment focuses on traditional Lebanese preparations emphasising fresh ingredients, generous portions, and hospitable service that reflects Arab dining culture's emphasis on sharing and abundance.

The menu showcases mezze spreads including creamy hummus, baba ganoush, and the namesake tabbouleh salad with bulgur wheat, parsley, and tomatoes, alongside mains like mixed grill platters combining lamb, chicken, and kafta kebabs, Arabic grilled chicken, and shawarma wraps. Each dish adheres to Lebanese cooking principles balancing grilled meats with fresh vegetables, pickles, and flatbreads that enable customised bites according to individual tastes. The halal certification ensures Muslim diners can confidently order any menu item, while the cuisine's inherent alignment with Islamic dietary laws makes Lebanese food naturally accessible to observant customers.

Operating daily from 11am to 10:30pm, Tabbouleh serves lunch and dinner crowds including Kampong Gelam visitors, office workers, and families seeking substantial meals in a welcoming environment suited to large groups. The Bussorah Street location capitalises on tourist traffic and weekend crowds exploring the heritage district, while weekday operations serve regular customers appreciating consistent Lebanese cooking. Pricing remains moderate despite prime location, with generous portions justifying costs and encouraging sharing. For Singapore's diverse population, Tabbouleh provides accessible entry to authentic Lebanese cuisine beyond generic Mediterranean interpretations, delivered with warmth and authenticity that honours the restaurant's cultural positioning within Singapore's Arab Street heritage precinct.
