Some restaurants feed you. Tripoli's transports you. From…read morethe moment you walk in, the space does something to you -- warm lighting, tufted banquettes, burgundy velvet chairs with gold legs, and a ceiling panel with intricate geometric lattice work straight out of a Moroccan riad. It doesn't feel like a strip mall restaurant. It feels intentional. The pastry case alone deserves its own review. Piped butter cookies, rose-dotted squares dusted with cardamom, delicate filled rolls -- it's the kind of display that makes you order dessert before you've even sat down. And then the food. The chicken shawarma bowl is not playing around -- seasoned chicken, kalamata olives, crumbled feta, creamy garlic sauce over a bed of greens, finished with cracked pepper. Every bite is layered and bold. The kind of meal that makes you pause mid-fork and just appreciate it. What sets Tripoli's apart isn't just the food or the ambiance. It's that the whole experience feels curated. Like someone who actually loves this culture built this place and meant every single detail. San Antonio has been sleeping on this gem. Wake up!!

I had a hard time walking out without calling for the manager or owner. I would like to start my…read morepost with the positive so here it goes. The ambiance was great, everything from the decorative rugs, Arab writing on the wall, tagine pottery and brass crafts were perfectly displayed. The tabbouleh salad was very tasty, it had the right amount of ingredients making it pretty as well as colorful placed in the neat brass metal bowl. Now with the things that require immediate remedial attention: 1. The burger was overrated, overcooked and dry. 2. The chick pea salad lacked chick peas, dressing, onions and feta cheese. 3. The lamb Kofta plate was prepared right however, it was not enough meat for the price and the cream sauce tasted like straight butter with a hint of garlic. The pita bread was lukewarm and looked like it had been unwrapped, quartered and thrown in a microwave for 30 seconds prior to serving it. 4. Drinks Ordered: The Cafe' Arabia was very tasty BUT, I didn't get it until we were almost done with our meal. We ordered drinks when we were first seated so that was a big red flag. My wife also ordered the Moroccan mint teapot and she didn't get it until after I got my coffee. I told the barista/waiter to cancel it when I got my coffee but he said it was also ready for us and could put it in a to-go cup for her. That kind of defeated the whole experience of drinking tea while waiting for our meal. 5. The service was really slow. Took over 15 minutes to get our (tap) waters and 20 minutes for our food when we were the only ones in the restaurant until we had placed our order. 6. The waitress needs some serious people skills and bussing training to know how to serve food and drinks. She touched the tops of the glasses her fingers. She didn't greet us and practically dropped the plates on the table when she brought them out. To add insult to injury, she put the handheld pay device on the table without asking us if we wanted or needed anything else. My kids wanted to try out some desserts, so luckily for us, the nearby HEB has plenty to offer. I had high hopes for this place because of what the owner posted on Instagram and it is so close to our neighborhood. Guess we will have to continue driving further into the city to other Mediterranean and Middle-Eastern restaurants that have better food and service.

I also like their Dubai chocolate strawberries they make it fresh there but they're pricey. They're $15 the double entrée bowl in comparison is also $15. Roasted cauliflower is considered an entrée and I recommend it cause roasted cauliflower is delicious especially with all the sauces and dressings. The marquee with the sample salad bowls and wraps changed very fast so I couldn't figure out which one I wanted so I made my own bowl and I cannot be trusted cause I wanted everything in the bowl. Another customer recommended the chicken however I'm anemic so I had the beef But next time I will try the chicken. She also gets her dips on the side for an extra charge because she shares her bowl, but I don't share so I had everything in there. I hardly made a dent, so for the price it can feed you twice.

Nice service and good deals. Favorite is the beet salad and wrap. Tofu is marinated, not breaded and fried, not plain either. Tofu is good for the calcium... Cobb is protein heavy with blue cheese, eggs, and bacon plus the protein you pick. The wraps are so hefty, I can eat half but hardly the whole thing in a sitting. Think chipotle burrito heavy. Bright orange packaging with room enough to shake the dressing in. No black plastic. Not busy and wait is not too bad.

You can choose your sauce. I opted for the house sauce, which was pretty good. I did notice they had summer rolls. I ordered one with ham and one with shrimp. They come with peanut sauce. I don't think you can mess up some peanut sauce. They were good. The day was a cold day, so I decided on hot tea. I had the oolong. It comes pre sweetened, so be aware of that as you can choose your sweetness level. You can order at the register or you can order at your table. Whatever is easiest. Parking is available on site, but shared with the other businesses.
