Underwhelming Tabbouleh — expected more

I was looking forward to Tabbouleh here based on the reputation. The reality was disappointing. The bright and balanced character that makes this dish special was muted — either from shortcuts with za'atar or from scaling up production at the expense of quality.

Lebanese hospitality is expressed through abundance on the table. The a Middle Eastern restaurant abroad setting I was hoping for wasn't quite there either. arak was available but not suggested appropriately. I've had much better versions elsewhere. Two stars because the dish concept is sound; the execution let it down.
