I will admit the first few times I came here I was a little apprehensive because I had not eaten any kind of Mediterranean food to my knowledge prior to that first visit 3-4 years ago ... and having been a veggie at the time I was always apprehensive about somethings as my saying goes just because its vegetarian doesn't mean its going to taste good. So I stuck to tomato soup and the pita bread; the bread was delicious and the tomato soup which was on the good side was just what the name says of it. I'm sure I tried hummus and bites off of other peoples plates based on the friends I went with but I just don't recall what I had and if I liked it. I went again with a different group of friends who loved this kind of food for a birthday party. It was mid afternoon so it wasn't crowded which was good because we had a large sized group. This time around I brought my daughter who was maybe 2 at the time. Based on my friend John helping me out on the menu I got a plate that had chicken, rice and some sort of veggies for my daughter and I to share. The kiddo ate like a champ; and the food was good enough warrant another visit after I had found out my friend Jeremy really liked this place. The last few times we went was at dinner time where it was at close to or full max. Food was still excellent and service outstanding. We mostly only go on special occasions or cravings runs because of how crowded it can get. The biggest negative I can say about this place being a parent it is hard to figure out what you (Or a kid) can eat or not eat if your not already used to the kind of food they serve and I don't recall them having a kids menu that offers a fussy child's options ... but honestly they are right next to a couple of fast food joints so I'm sure if your kids are picky you can run over and bring something in for them. I've only brought my daughter here the one time so I don't really know if she'll like it now shes 4 and a lot more vocal about what she will and will not eat. read more

We have been here a couple of times. We have to choose the time we go since it is a very popular venue. We have always had good serve and a delicious meal. The salads are large and full of flavor. We love their menu and will continue to drop by for a great meal. read more

Fantastic service! Which was surprising since we were the only minorities dining there at the time LOL. Waitstaff here is top notch very helpful and quick when it comes to checking on their tables. Started off with the tzatziki so we could dip our pita bread that comes from the magical pita lady making her rounds haha. Mixed grill combo: kefta kabob, souvlaki beef & chicken. Meats were cooked perfectly, nice char on the outside while still remaining juicy inside. Adorned with two yogurt sauces for dipping. I believe one was the same tzatziki we had as an app and the other was yogurt and cream. Bassa Fish: gigantic filet breaded and well seasoned. Nice and flaky white fish with a thin crispy crust. This was my wifes entree but I think I fell in love with it more because im not a big fish person but this was a totally different experience. All dinners are served with white fluffy rice and a delicious green bean salad with your choice of soup or salad. Ended the night with an order of the baklava to go which was OK. Maybe should have ate it at there while it was still crispy but I cant say anything neg bout it. Definitely will want to come back to try one of the days specials. Hopefully we'll catch the stuffed cabbage or shank like he had suggested last time. Its BYOB which most of the diners as well as ourselves took advantage of SO BRING A BOTTLE OF WINE!! This place screams it (= read more

Yum! Ann S. and I were craving something fresh and lovely and were so happy to have found and ended up at Cafe Medi. Food was great, definitely recommend starting with the vegetarian platter, loads of yummy things! The avgolemono soup wasn't close to being the best I've ever had, but it was fine! The gyro plate was very good and Ann S. very thoroughly enjoyed her combo shawarma plate! One thing I DO very much wish for on their menu... taramosalata! Our waiter was so much fun and very nice! We will absolutely go back to Cafe Medi! read more

Having dined here several times the food is GREAT and authentic. Sometimes they have live music which makes the experience even more enjoyable. As much as my family loves it here I DO NOT recommend ordering take out as there have been a couple of occasions where items are missing. One time it was soup and the other time was rice/vegetables. When we call to notify them of the missing item(s) seeking at least compensation for the missing items they tell me I can come back out and pick up the missing item(s) or just tell them next time I dine in and they will give me the food then. SUPER tacky. Also, I recommend against using their drive thru pickup line. It takes forever if someone in front of you arrives early for their pickup or their order is wrong. You'll be there all night. You're better off burning a few calories by just going inside to pick it up. read more

The memorable: Spectacularly good lemon rice soup that I'd drive across town for. Some of the tenderest grilled lamb I've eaten at a Mediterranean place. Also, more standouts: yummy rice pudding, creamy and fabulous baba ghanoush and hummus, and the freshest pita bread I've experienced. The disappointments: not-so-garlicky sauce, bland limp green beans for sides, standard baklava. The fascinating: they have a hookah menu. Friendly and accommodating staff, relaxing cafe atmosphere. It's a little cozy so large parties may do well to phone ahead. Also nice to see: they have patio seating, perfect for fine weather dining. If I didn't live so far from Cafe Medi I would definitely visit more often, if only for the lemon rice soup. read more

Food was the best that we have had in a long time. I have had better Baklava elsewhere, but everything else was superb! We used to drive to Fort Worth to Byblos but now can get our cravings satisfied much closer to home! My sister and I went and were surprised that our waitress barely had time for us while devoting most of her attention to couples. Another waitress took over and "all's well that ends well." read more

OMG good food! Went for a birthday celebration and had great service, good food and yummy desserts. Can't wait to go back.

Have to go a couple times a month to get my fix. Cabbage rolls, Snapper, LAMB CHOPS, lemon soup are delicious. Prices and service is great.

This is not a rinky-dink plate of food. This is a rich, delicious, beautifully prepared feast. You might balk at the price, but you get what you pay for. You will definitely get full, and have equally delicious leftovers. The moussaka was so delicious and filling. That meza plate did most of the talking for us, and when the entrees rolled around, we just barely had room for a few bites of our fantastic dinner. This is one of my favorite spots. Never disappointed. read more

Food was delicious. Atmosphere was great. Service was good, friendly but a tad slow; not the server but the food coming out from the kitchen. However, the portions are very generous and tasty so that trumps a little linger wait for quality. I ordered an appetizer of dolmas to split with my friend. There were 5 or 6 on the plate and large sized. They don't scrimp on portion size. Then I enjoyed the grilled chicken dinner that was served with a fresh Greek salad, rice and green beans that were really well seasoned. I can't wait to come back and bring my husband. Perhaps after my next visit I will up my rating to 5 stars. read more

One of my favorite places for greek food. The pita is to die for. It's so soft and warm and perfect. You can't go wrong with the vegetarian platter. I order it each time I go and it's absolutely amazing. I've gotten the mixed grill platter and their meat is so flavorful and tender. The tilapia with crab meat is also super good too. The green beans that the platter comes with is also just glorious. Definitely come try this place out! read more

We love this place. Have being there for 15 years and our family has never had a bad meal. It's a great couple or family place where you can bring a bottle of wine and have a great night- highly recommend. read more

This restaurant has a heavy hookah smoke in the front entrance, where the customers are supposed to walk in. If you're pregnant or have little kids, then this place is not for you. As you have to walk in and out of the restaurant from that thick heavy hookah smog right at the front of the restaurant where the patio is situated. Even if you're sitting inside, you will smell the hookah smoke, as they make those hookahs inside the restaurant, which is unacceptable. My request to the restaurant is that please keep this place good enough for families to visit, as the food is really good and everyone should have a right to enjoy good food and things like hookah smoke can be taken care of my the management. read more

This is one of the best Mediterranean Restaurants in all of Dallas....today I had lunch there with my friends. In a rush I left my leftovers. When I returned to see if they by chance had not thrown them out...they made me a new plate!! This Guy, he's not in it for just the money. He just loves to feed people! Xoxo I Just Love This Place! read more

I love this place. Had hummus and pita, of course, as I love the hummus here. It is much better than Cosmic Cafe. For my dinner, I chose Fool, which is Egyptian. Fool is an appetizer, but it is very filling and tasty. (The leftovers were even better!) Also, had the greek custard, which is heavenly, with their greek coffee. Loved everything. As for the service, my waitress was really wonderful. And the owner was friendly, giving advice as to the best things to eat on the menu. :) read more

Our experience summarized by my wife: "THAT is how meat should be cooked!" Might be more expensive than other places, but cheaper overall than driving all the way to Irving for a burnt dried out gyro. read more

Cafe Medi is absolutely our "go to" restaurant for Mediterranean cuisine! And it has been for several years. We've alternately brought all friend and family groups to enjoy the lovely atmosphere, and the delicious and carefully prepared dishes! My absolute faves are the hummus and pita, snapper with crab meat, the tomato bisque soup, and of course the baklava for an exquisite dessert. The service is personable and so on point every time! We love Lili and Mabooli! Five stars... always!! read more

The front of the building can be a bit unimpressive, but hands down they make up for it in quality of food and quantity. the staff is friendly and even though I have only been a couple of times over 6 months, they remember us. Such a great place to eat. read more

Meh Tried Thai place again after eating here over a decade ago and now o know why I haven't been back. Food is blah and has really no flavor. Hummus was meh and had a hamburger pickle in the center... Huh? Shawarma was nothing special at all.... but I also think it's the blend of spices I didn't jive with me. read more

We love this place. Great food! I love that you can byob. Since this place is owned and operated by a muslim family, they won't have alcohol. But just bring your own! Why it's not a 5 star is because one time we went, it took the waiter sooooo long to get take our order and then to bring water and then to bring the check. Ridiculously long, and they weren't busy like they normally are. And I ordered the gyro plate thinking it was a gyro but it comes all separated. Really weird. Wish the waiter told me it wasn't a put together normal gyro. I'm white, how am I supposed to know it comes like that. i just wanted a normal gyro. but i know now. but the service that one day was terrible. Really sucked because we love this place. And of course we will still go. And recommend it to others. Great food! read more

The food is always GREAT. The Redfish with Crab Sauce is always 5star. The Gyros are always good as well. Last night I discovered their Tomato Bisque. That is now also a new favorite. The owner and waitstaff are always welcoming and provide great service. read more

My wife and I really wanted something different then pizza, so we ordered this for pick up. We got the Greek Salad and the Pita wrap Gyro, which I thought was amazing. The wrap is real big so we shared the salad and the gyro and it was perfect. The salad was a little pricey for what you got, but good. I would recommend this place! read more

Ordered a bunch of appetizers and an entree to share and it was wonderful. You can tell the food is fresh from scratch, not frozen and nuked like some other places. BYOB, which we love, but the place is so reasonable already, that's just a bonus. Great food, great service. Def recommend!! read more

Great food, and a fun patio with hookahs! There's a good reason this place is always full of local Middle Eastern families: the food is excellent! read more

Finally got to try the yogurt dip...super yummy and filling with lots of spices! I ordered the vegetarian plate for lunch...could not finish...they also gave me enough hummus to feed an entire family. But it was all good, I was nice and shared with the coworkers! Still have some left for later. The food is rich and delicious here...come with stretchy pants on. read more

I like. Had the swarma(spelling? ), not bad and the baklava(again spelling?) was pretty good also. I have nothin bad to say about what I ate or the friendly staff. So I'm cuttin it short on this one until I visit a second time. read more

Pretty reasonably priced decent Greek food. Had the gyro entree for lunch. Rice and meat were both good, green beans were a tasty surprise. Very strict about substitutions so I didn't try it since I like to keep my lunches at $10 or less. Would have succeeded but I really wanted to try the baklava. Not bad. Good sized portions of everything for sure. Asked for a box for my leftover pita, and the waiter insisted on bringing me a fresh order free. Service isn't amazing but no specific complaints. I'd come back here. read more

Its actually a 5 star place. Best veg options ! Great patio.. They have hookah as well. Its byob. The veg plate was huge and their Lemmon soup was fantastic. I ordered side of soulvaki chicken and it was perfect! read more

Just a wonderful place to frequent if you enjoy Mediterranean food. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and can't wait to return soon! Everything we ordered was the right temperature, perfect flavor and great presentation. We arrived late in the evening and our waitress couldn't have been nicer. Five stars Cafe Medi! Keep up the good work! read more

All the soups were good but the lemon rice was my favorite. The fried falafel was good as was the side of hummus. The lamb shank was the best. The meat tender and flavorful. The snapper and jumbo shrimp was fresh tasting and has a refreshing sauce. The gyros were good but not as awesome as the rest. Cafe Medi has great food but is a little slow on service. Still, the food makes up for everything. Definitely RTE. read more

This is the best place to get middle eastern food. I love this place! Also they have hookah that is awesome! This is a must try! read more

Amazing food! I've been wanting to try this place for the last 2 years. It has been bookmarked, but we finally went last night. We shared the meza plate, and their mixed grill (chicken, beef, kofta kabob). We ended the meal with the most delicious tiramisu. I was hesitant to order tiramisu at a Greek restaurant, but boy it was so much better than a lot of Italian restaurants I've visited. I'll definitely go back. read more

First time coming here and I love it! I had the chicken shawarma lunch plate. It looked like a dinner portion! And they also give you your choice of a soup or a salad. Very filling and delicious! The garlic sauce that comes with it is to die for! Can't wait to come back and try more things off the menu! read more

After investing months on finishing up Breaking Bad, we were down to our last 4 episodes and decided to "Door Dash" Café Medi. Good decision ! Although we were not "dining in", we've been to this location several times & really enjoyed it. The restaurant is pretty, cozy and the employees are super helpful and friendly. I started off with the BEST Lemon Rice Soup I've Ever Eaten! I could bathe in that stuff....it's that good! I then ordered the Charbroiled Chicken...1/2 marinated boneless garlic charbroiled chicken, served with rice, sauteed veggies and delicious green bean medley. It was perfectly grilled and perfectly seasoned! My husband ordered the Lemon Rice Soup and the Chicken and Beef Shawerma ( I love saying that word...Lol ! )...it's shredded and marinated chicken tender and, marinated Beef tender served with rice and Tahini (cream of sesame)...my brother in-law ordered the same thing. No complaints on their orders. = ) My sister in-law ordered Souvlaki Chicken...grilled chicken tender marinated in Greek spices, served with green beans and with Tahini. All of the dishes came with Warm Pita Bread and creamy yogurt dip. Yum! No room for dessert this time but man, they all looked so good! I would highly recommend this quaint little Family Owned Mediterranean Restaurant. It's always a good all-around dining experience. read more

The food is really really good. It is by far the best Greek restaurant I have found anywhere in this area. The server was excellent. She was attentive enough that we were never needing anything yet distant enough we never felt intruded on. The lamb meat is extremely tender and fresh. The salads are awesome. The baba ganoush, hummus and tzatziki were wonderful on the fresh thick homemade pita. We were given large portions of everything and you will not leave hungry. read more

If you consider strip malls to be a hole, this is the hole in the wall that you want to visit. The owners took this box in strip mall, jammed a handful of tables, hung some Mediterranean seascapes and then just started cooking up the shawarma and doling out the hummos ... and bingo: the place is packed all of the time. Everything I've eaten there looks and tastes (I suspect) like it was beamed in from The Old Country. The portions are huge, so (and don't tell them I said this) plan to share an entree or take some home. The crew looks and feels like a family right out of My Big Fat Greek Wedding, which is to say they look like they're having a good time despite having to tolerate your indecisive brat and your request to ... uh ... share an entree. Of course, the place is home to the Happy Hookah. So if you're looking to hang out and light one up, they've got plenty of them. But the place is tiny. If you've got 5 or more in your party, call ahead. Prices are reasonable. Decor: Mediterranean strip mall read more

Dining period- Lunch, Saturday. Ambience- Nice, dimly lit Food - Tasty! Meal - Falafel & Chicken sharwarma, baklava, coffee All for around $17-23 + tip. The portions were good sized! read more

Pluses: Mezza plate (babaganoush, hummus, tzaziki), lamb chops (which aren't on the menu, but are almost always available as the special), and a sampler platter that is advertised to feed two people, but we've ordered it for four and still had to take home leftovers. Also, as others have said, the lemon-rice soup is outstanding. Minuses: Salads that come with the meal are almost an afterthought, and the baklava is really tough and chewy. No issues with the BYOB policy and have never been charged corkage. There's a hookah patio that's pretty much a spillover area for when it's crowded inside, so there's that to be aware of. I don't care if this is "true" Greek/Mediterranean, it's pretty good and I'll keep coming back, but I won't tell anybody else about it. I want to make sure I get a table. read more

Good but not great Mediterranean food. Kind of bland for Mediterranean (maybe perfect for newbies?), but I love their fries. The spices they put on them are really good. They also have hookah, which is interesting but not my cup of tea. Very rude staff- ok, that's a lie. There's one guy that is really rude and somehow I've gotten him every time I've been there (3 times). I can't really attest to the quality of the other staff. He does the same song-and-dance routine every time. He starts off rude-- if you seem uncomfortable pronouncing a dish name, for example, he'll try to force you to say it. On another occasion he nagged one of the people I was with to hurry up already and finish eating the appetizer. Next, he seems almost apologetic-- "I'll play nice now" (once he literally said this). Finally, he acts like a normal waiter. I'm pretty sure this is just his personality and the turnaround is how he gets tips, but it makes me uncomfortable. I'm fine with poking fun, but he takes it too far. read more
