B laudette and George Halwagy launched Tabboule Restaurant: Fine Lebanese Cuisine in Ridgewood seven years ago. They created the menu based on favorite dishes from the Halwagy family’s recipes. “I wanted to bring healthy, great-tasting Lebanese food to the American public,” George says. “It is important to order fresh ingredients, and we have built relationships with local butchers, vegetable sellers, and companies that import traditional spices directly from Lebanon.” This family-friendly restaurant Tabboule Fine Lebanese Cuisine quickly began to grow, building a very loyal customer base. “Being the first Lebanese restaurant in the area was important to Tabboule, since it set the tone and tastes in the consumers’ minds,” George adds. Since Tabboule Restaurant opened, the family and the establishment have been part of the community. This spot is a perfect casual dining experience for the whole family. The restaurant often donates food to the high school, the Ridgewood Chamber of Commerce, and village events. Tabboule Restaurant has also sponsored teams and hosted networking events. “It is very important to give back to the community,” George asserts. Last year, Tabboule Restaurant gave way to the creation of Tabboule Grill, which features healthy, fresh, Mediterranean fare. “Even in a declining economy, Tabboule found an opportunity to make our mark in the fast food industry, which was no small feat,” George continued. “Tabboule Grill was able to get the attention of multi-national company that gave the budding business a chance.” “I hope 2010 will bring even more success and new opportunities,” he adds.
