Tarboosh Tent

About Tarboosh Tent

Oakville needs one or two restaurants of genuine grandeur and sophistication. Tarboosh Tent, formerly known as Mr. Tarboosh, is a Middle Eastern Cuisine experience. Although Tarboosh Tent is a restaurant, it’s considered to be an “experience” due to its colourful Middle Eastern décor and its menu comprised of traditional Lebanese, Greek, and Turkish cuisine.  Tarboosh Tent has been a local favourite ever since it’s grand opening in 1999 and continues to attract patrons from all over the GTA, willingly making the commute to enjoy this dazzling restaurant. The word “Tarboosh” means hat in Egyptian and the name is befitting for this mom-and-pop establishment; the moment you walk through the front the door it’s hard not to fall in love with the colourful, rich, and decadent Middle Eastern touches vividly gleaming in the soft and romantic setting. The maroon-red paint, the walls full of unique Middle Eastern art, and the traditional hand painted light sconces say it all: Tarboosh Tent is high class dining without being pretentious and the kitchen is determinedly in tune with the local harvest, which isn’t to say the place has turned away from its authentic Middle Eastern upbringing. Staying true to the original Mr. Tarboosh, Tarboosh Tent continues to attract their old-school clientele all the while becoming a hit with the younger crowd – every month there is a night dedicated to Belly Dancing guaranteed a great time for people of all ages and cultural backgrounds. Overall, Tarboosh Tent exceeds all expectations and this is why it’s slowly becoming a local landmark.
Traditional Lebanese cuisine lovingly prepared using 100% Halal meat, the freshest ingrediants with no preservatives and following old family recipes passed down from generation to generation. We cater all occasions. Tarboosh Tent offers dine-in, LLBO, take-out and call ahead pick up.
