Foray matches cabaret's final /reɪ/ sound exactly in the last syllable. Ballet and chalet end in /leɪ/, while bouquet and parquet end in /keɪ/; all share cabaret's final /eɪ/ diphthong and -et spelling pattern, but the preceding consonants differ. Carpet is a spelling lookalike: its final syllable is /pɪt/, not /reɪ/, so it sounds completely different.
