Here is a more detailed information about the foods:

Tabbouleh: A fresh and zesty salad made primarily with parsley, bulgur, tomatoes, mint, and lemon juice. It’s often served as part of a mezze (small appetizers) or as a side dish in Middle Eastern meals, especially during lunch or dinner. Tabbouleh is eaten cold, making it refreshing in warm weather.

Kibbeh: A traditional Levantine dish made from a mixture of bulgur, minced onions, and finely ground meat (often beef or lamb), sometimes filled with more meat, nuts, and spices. Kibbeh can be served fried or baked and is usually eaten as part of a main meal or in mezze. It’s a perfect comfort food that is often enjoyed during lunch or dinner, especially on special occasions.

Sambusek: It is a savory pastry that is common in various Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines. Sambusek refers to a crescent-shaped variety, often filled with cheese, meat, or vegetables. It’s eaten as a snack, appetizer, or even as part of breakfast. It can also be part of a mezze or served with a meal.

Berazig: These sweet, sesame-covered cookies are crunchy and slightly sweet, often served as a dessert or alongside tea or coffee. They are typically eaten as a snack or after meals. Berazig and other cookies like them are common in Middle Eastern households and are especially popular during festive occasions or when hosting guests.
