This was my third time coming to Tebel. I personally love the food. On this occasion we celebrated my mother’s birthday. Everyone loved the food especially my mother. We are Haitian and the restaurant played the happy birthday song in Haitian Creole, which added a special touch for the Haitian mommy. My mother lost her brother a month ago and this was the first birthday celebration without him. Our experience at a Rebel really put us at ease and created an atmosphere that allowed us to have fun and not dwell on the loss. Ultimately my mother loved the food and ambiance so much, she is now finding every reason for us to take her back. Thank you so much for making a hard situation memorable. We will definitely be back.
