"Tabbouleh" pronunciation?

I've always thought, probably mistakenly, that Tabbouleh was pronounced "Tab-bow-lay". However, I've recently heard someone pronounce it "Tab-boo-lee".
Which is correct? Can anyone here clarify please?
Many thanks in advance.

Might depend on where you are.
I've only ever seen it spelled "Taboulé" and pronounced Tah-Boo-Lé (or however you want to write that last bit). In France.
