Really good food, very delicious and tasty. The rice could be better but everything else was fantastic. Chicken was so tender, we ordered four different things which I don’t remember the names but we ordered whatever the lady suggested to us and we were all happy and content by our food.
I had a really weird experience when paying in cash as the server didn’t offer to give my change back. I had my change purse open on their counter waiting for the change and I was going to tip more but since they decided to not offer to give me my change back and moved on to my friend, I was so confused and left it as it was. Is this tipping culture now? They had a tipping jar, I was going to put my tip in there, but I guess they just decided to tip themselves? Do we have to ask for our change back now? Odd. I thought, oh maybe she forgot, so I paid for another thing my friend and I were splitting on a separate bill, and I paid with cash again and waited for the change and again, they kept the change. Just plain awkward. It was also freezing in the restaurant which made the food cold and needed to keep our jackets on. When hot, the food was excellent though! Pay with cash if you want an uncomfortable experience!
An excellent spot for Halal options! The food was delicious, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. I was pleasantly surprised by the generous portions—they were more than enough and very satisfying, especially considering the limited availability of Halal choices in the area. Overall, it’s a place I’d gladly visit again for a great meal.
Lovely family restaurant serving Egyptian food. We had the char kissed chicken, haddock/shrimp, tut veggies. All were full of taste and incredibly it was under $100 for a family of four! One of our best meals on the island!
Delicious, authentic, unique dining experience in the heart of downtown. Service was fast and friendly, and the whole restaurant smelled incredible. The server was happy to answer questions about any dishes or ingredients. I strongly recommend their falafel wrap! It comes with a side of fries and their awesome garlic sauce ☺️
The food here is amazing!!! We are a group of 7 travelling from Ottawa to the east coast. This is our second night in PEI and first day in Charlottetown. Very happy to find this gem of a place. The team working at Tabali are very friendly and were kind enough to accommodate us with our requests and changes to the menu items. I had the Cleopatra salad bowl with Shish Taouk added on. I was craving something fresh and also wanted protein and this was spot on! Food is very fresh and flavourful, and the place smells divine! The hunger really kicks in when you walk through the door. Overall the food is great, amazing service, and a welcoming atmosphere! Definitely recommend trying it out, and hope to stop by again next time we’re in town! Thank you :)
Found this HALAL spot that just opened up on our road trip from Toronto and LOVED IT!! Super flavor packed meat, paired well with the sides. Highly recommend! The chef James even came out to ask us how the food was and we told him the same!
Friendly service, friendly chef. We all enjoyed our meals here- two friends got the schwarma with chicken and one for the beef. I got the Cleopatra salad and enjoyed it a lot. Nice hearty salad for a decent price. I also got a dessert, unsure of the name but it was unique! The space is nice, lots of room and we sat in the window. Not quite Accessible as it's a few steps up into the restaurant but once you're in there, the seats can all be moved around and there is an accessible washroom. Will definitely be back to try some additional dishes.
Food was great!
Nice interesting people excellent food
Best experience in town. Friendly manager and great food
Amazing food, athmosphere is great, the smell of charcol is awsome makes you feel like your out at a beach picnic
I ordered delivery so I can t review the atmosphere however the lady who took my order was very kind and friendly. The char kissed chicken was absolutely divine. All the food was delicious. The dips were so fresh and tasty. I definitely recommend this place. 5 stars
Place with delicious food. Very friendly people.
Service was great, music emphasized the geographical area, all the food we orderd had no spices at all, unlike what we usually experienced in the Middle East, and or North Africa.
Excellent food & service!!
Delicious food
We specifically went here to sample their Kofta Kebab / Koobideh. Cravings satisfied! The lady (forgot her name but she said she was from Iran) who waited on us was very courteous, pleasant and nice. Will def come back if ever we re on the island.
It was amazing food and vibes 5 stars
This place is amazing!!! Great service and the food was out of this world. Food
Tabali food is not only good.. its a phenomenal, outstanding, convenient place. The beef shawerma is one of the best taste Ive ever tasted. I highly recommend this place, not because Im Egyptian, its because they deserve it Keep up the great taste..
Nice place, good food and friendly staff.
Ate at Tabali Grillz for the first time today. It was fantastic!!!!! Beautifully cooked food, made to order. This restaurant is a wonderful addition to our community.
Excellent Vegetarian options: For all vegetarian, the special Egyptian food Koshery, FALAFEL was amazing Food : 5/5 |
Tut s kofta, lamb shank, char kissed chicken, and mixed grill chicken were really tasty. Highly recommended!
Food is very delicious, made fresh and quote affordable! Tabali is still a bit of a *hidden gem* in plain site. A must-try
Delicious sizzling shrimp, I want to try the kushary again Vegetarian options: There are several vegetarian dishes Kid-friendliness: There were already some children there
Unique!
It was so good and the shrimp and the mixed chicken
3 of us stopped in to get lunch. We all ordered different menu items but all had chicken in them in some form. The chicken in each dish was cooked to perfection and the flavors were delishious. The smokey rice, the side salad, all wonderful flavors. But the star of everyones dish was the chicken. Moist, juicey, an amazing char on the grill. We all cant wait to go back and try something new. We also tried the freshly squeezed mint lemonade. So refreshing, with a hint of mint. The perfect pairing for our lunch. Do yourself a favour and go there today. And be patient, the food is worth the wait.
A great vibe, with delicious food!
I think as someone searching for good places to eat at when traveling this on is one of the best in charlotetown
Wonderful lamb shanks and service!
Excellent grilled chicken wrap, fantastic baba ganoush dip, and very polite staff. Things that I would improve; turn down the music a little, and try to make the place a little more inviting. All and all, very nice!
The foods in the restaurant smell so much better than the foods itself and the images online. We ve been told everything we want were sold out. there s no more rice, no more wings when we went there at 8pm while the restaurant close at 3AM. The waitress told us we have to wait for 2 hours if we want the rice (like what type of rice needs 2 hours to cook? The reason they were given was everything in their restaurant is fresh lol. Maybe they start from planting the grain?). If a restaurant doesn t have anything to serve then why bother open? Foods were so greasy like when you cut it there re grease spilled out!!! don t think it s worth the money.
The food was fantastic! Loved the Kofta kababs, lamb shank and grilled chicken!
The food was great, music was turned up a little too loud and staff were a little too inquisitive, but these issues can be fixed easily. Would come again!
Amzingggg
The grilled chicken is amazing
It was an unplanned visit but the most rewarding. Food cooked to perfection and the owner is very welcoming and entertaining. For sure we will come back to the island to visit and enjoy their food again Food : 5/5
Absolutely delicious!! Prompt and friendly service. Would definitely go back!! We ordered the Cairo Beef Shwarma, Temaya Falafel Saj-wrap, and the Tuts veggies, and freah Mango drink :)
The food is amazing and delicious..
Shawarma and rice 17.99
Great food and great people. We were visiting from Toronto. Great to see Halal food in the heart of downtown Charlottetown.
Was travelling from Antigonish Nova Scotia , I really loved the place and Best HALAL spot in the town !
Delicious, authentic Egyptian dishes served by friendly, attentive staff
Great food, service, and atmosphere! Highly recommend.
We ate on the patio. It was a slow Sunday afternoon. I had Tuts sampler with hummus, falafel, baba ganoush. And a mint tea. The owners 6yr old son was walking around, playing with one of the diners dogs and being very hospitable. Another of the family was on patio playing backgammon. It felt we were walking in and taking in a day in their life in the best way. We loved the experience.
We had an amazing meal and incredible customer service experience with Tabali Grillz! Thank you Rania!
Having lived in Egypt for a short time, myself and my husband already have a love for Egyptian/Middle Eastern food. We had high expectations for this highly reviewed restaurant, and let me tell you - we were blown away. The food is absolutely incredible. Highly recommend tut s veggies as a starter (the falafel is house made and best I ve ever had), the shish tawook, and the saj wrap. They owners take deep pride in the food they serve, and everything was fresh, flavourful, and delicious. Even more, the owners are lovely people, and provide top notch service. Charlottetown is so lucky to have this gem of a restaurant.
Took the kids as Ive missed authentic falafel. The food is fresh, delicious and done right. The wonderful young waitress, though busy handles herself with grace. My kids had the shawarmas and asked for more today, the next day. They dont push it enough, get the baklava for dessert. Trust me, this is a must.
Good restorant
Exactly like a little Egyptian place I used to eat at in Fujairah. Excellent food.
Check out PEI s only Egyptian restaurant. On Queen street across from Kettle Black, this charming place brings me back to Cairo with its music, aromas and tastes. We stopped for a small snack and ordered their Tut veggie plate, including a light baba ghanoush, Palestinian hummus and falafel. Pita crisps and soft pita. And a small salad plate! Nice people. A great addition to the PEI food scene!
This place is a can t miss. Great service, nice location, and the food is out of this world. Get the rice! Get the grilled meats! Get it all.
So many Gluten-Free options and the kitchen is spotless! We ordered the Beef Shawarma Fatah and the Char-kissed Chicken, the chicken was juicy and had a great flavour with the charcoal and seasoning. The Beef Shawarma was the most flavourful dish I ve had in a very long time. The rice was excellent and the fries were crispy. This restaurant is family owned and operated and they very clearly take immense pride in their business. Thank you Rania and family, we will be back many more times! Dietary restrictions: Celiac and Gluten-Free
This place is amazing. My friends and I tried the Shawarma Fatah (beef and chicken)and the Falafel Wrap and they were all so perfectly flavourful and fresh. Highly recommend this place. The patio is a great seating option also. Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian options Kid-friendliness: There is a kids menu Wheelchair accessibility: Two steps to main entrance but the patio is fully accessible at street level.
Very friendly staff. The food is delicious and the portions large. If you re looking for good value and flavour, Id recommend this place.
Amazing food, so tasty! Nice atmosphere, welcoming staff! Strongly recommend for good Mediterranean food !
The best.
My new favourite place in town! I ve been 3 times since its recent opening. I love the shawarma plate with the crispy pita chips in the rice, a mix of beef and chicken on top, and then drizzled with hummus and garlic sauce on top! So good!!!
My favorite restaurant in PEI I am obsessed, I have been going there frequently and every time the experience is amazing. Everything tastes delicious, and I am so happy to FINALLY have found a restaurant that is 100% Halal. Couldn t be happier the service is very good, the staff is friendly and warm. The prices are also great! I would definitely recommend Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options full of flavor Dietary restrictions: They use 100% Halal meat.
Overpriced
Really great food, tastes like homemade food. The vibes of the place are wonderful, middle-eatern music and songs. Service was great and waiters were super friendly. In addition, Cleopatras Secret salad was phenomenal! Highly recommended if you enjoy the middle-eastern cuisine! Food
Char-kissed chicken is the best, they grill on natural charcoal, first on pei! Service and Quality is beyond perfect, Tabali Grillz is a must try if you are in Downtown Charlottetown! Food
WOW! The flavour of every dish my family tried was incredible. It s all fresh, perfectly seasoned, and authentic. The atmosphere is welcoming and cozy, and the service was fantastic. We ll be back again and again!
I ve eaten there twice in the last two days - yesterday for dinner, and then today for lunch. Everything tastes amazing and incredibly fresh. By far the most flavourful dishes I ve had at any restaurant in a very long time. The servers and owner are welcoming and very gracious to their guests. Highly recommend for any and all diners!
Have been waiting for a spot like this since I came to the island 6 years. Highly recommend, and I am definitely going to be a frequent customer
Best spot for middle eastern cuisine in PEI
Food tastes amazing. Would definitely recommend Charcoal Grilled Chicken and Shish-Taouk.
I ve never tried Egyptian food. It was great!
Lovely experience at Tabali Grill on Queen Street. We sat at the window, watched folks go about, listened to great music and ate some delish food. Wonderful new addition to Charlottetown.
The food was extremely authentic. It is as if you had a taste of Middle Eastern culture in the island. The family that owns the restaurant were so friendly. However, you need to have a bucket loads of patience on the waiting time. We went there on a Friday around 6:00pm and we have been informed that the wait will be 35 mins. But the actual wait time was 1 hour.
Best food ever
Had a late night meal from there with friends before fasting the food was AMAZING! Exceeded all of our expectations also the vibes and the service was extremely excellent. Going back for sure. Glad to have such place to remind me of back home The food quality is a top notch

The food was amazing, the atmosphere brought me back home.

The food was delicious and the atmosphere was very pleasant and friendly. Definitely would recommend to anybody looking for some authentic middle eastern food.
The char on the kofta and chicken was immaculate. Friendly staff and great prices! Will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu Vegetarian options: Falafel Egyptian koshary
Amazing Place!!! Best authentic middle eastern and Egyptian place. Best food restaurant on PEI. Recommended. Extremely clean with modern and Egyptian decorations. Food : 5/5 |
Very nice middle-eastern food, good waiting time, clean, staff are very friendly, prices are shockingly low for everything especially considering the quality and portion sizes, and overall nice and cosy atmosphere
Hands down, best Arabic food I ve had in Charlottetown! Dietary restrictions: Halal Food Food : 5/5 |
Vegetarian options: Great food, will definitely come back again Food
Good food
I ordered take out Tut s Kabab with rice and Beef Fattah plate. The food was delicious. I would go there again for a good dine in experience.
Food and service were incredible. Thanks for the great meal!
What a lovely family and what delicious food! The chicken melted in my mouth
Tried Tabali Grill for the first time tonight and omg fantastic. The food was amazing, seasoned beautifully and nice and hot. Service was excellent, the family is so genuine and kind. Will definitely be going back!
Absolutely loved my Koshari bowl! Staff were so wonderful and attentive. Highly recommend!
I went couple of times and i have tried almost everything and the food is delicious.
We visited this new establishment this evening. It was a wonderful experience. The food was excellent and the service even better. The chicken wings app was like nothing I ve had before. We capped our meal with a delicious phyllo pistachio pastry and Turkish coffee. Interesting spot. Looking forward to our next visit.
I walked by the other day, and the smell was amazing. Tonight, my Mom and I decided to go and try this restaurant, and we had a great meal. Everyone was so friendly, and the food was amazing! We started with the TuT s Veggies appetizer and loved the warm hummus. For our main we shared the shawarma fattah and sizzling shrimp. We finished with a Philo pastry dessert with coffee and a tea. Will definitely be back.
Absolutely delicious, from the wraps to dishes! All my best wishes.. Love the decor too Food
Weve been there twice already since it opened and have absolutely loved it. Best shawarmas on the Island, by far, along with other amazing food. Great service too. Highly recommend Tabali Grillz.
Had an amazing time with my family. Our favourite was definitely the kefta kabob plate, and the kids enjoyed it as well.
This is a great addition to the restaurants in Charlottetown. The portions were generous and the food and service were great.
I am impressed ! Well done !
The food itself was really delicious. Chicken was marinated really well and the fries were super crispy. Everything tasted hot and fresh. All the food there is halal as well! However, portion size isnt the greatest and wait time for food was a little over half an hour. Everyone at my table had a dipping of sauce included with their food. But, it was such a small quantity that half way through, each of us got more garlic sauce which was +1 dollar.( which we got by the time we basically finished our food). Overall, food was great, but service and wait time was subpar considering it wasnt busy. It was worth the wait for the food tho.
My friend and I had a wonderful dining experience at this new restaurant. The dip appetizer of warm Egyptian style hummous and smoky Baba Ghanoush was the best Ive ever had. For our mains (see photo), we each ordered a different plate - the beef kofta and shish taouk, then we traded half of our meat/chicken so we could each try both. They were mouthwateringly delicious. The rice was as beautiful to look at as it was delicious and fragrant. The coconut, walnut, raisin filled pastry dessert was also very yummy. The owners/proprietors were gracious and friendly and happy to explain about the food. We will definitely be back soon!
