What People Are Saying About Al-Tarboush Deli

The Scene
A few Wash U students mix with busy 9-to-5 types amid the hookahs and Formica-topped tables. Despite the seating area, the place is really more of a deli than a restaurant. Refrigerated cases line one wall, filled with containers of olives, feta, hummus, etc. Grab what you want, then take it to the counter, where you can order sandwiches and pies.
The Food
Amid the cases, the tabbouleh and hummus stand out. Both are among the best in St. Louis. Don't miss the first case, which holds the baklava. A tin of five pieces contains varying shapes, sizes, flavors and textures. After raiding the cases, go to the counter and order more. Try the filling falafel sandwich or the traditional shawarma (marinated beef). Both are served in pitas with vegetables and tahini. Just need a snack? Try the small spinach pie.

Al Tarboush is located in the Loop so it a convient place for lunch and the food is good for those who love garlic. It has a strip mall kind of feel, but the hummus is some of the best in town.

The food here was pretty decent. The taste was alright, and the service and atmosphere weren't bad either. The only downside was the price was kinda high. International food though, so good if you're adventurous/curious PROS: new food for most people CONS: cost
