    Hummus
    Nancy N.

    One word: YUM. So good and unique!!! The charred cabbage and cauliflower sound so simple but the flavors were insane. The hummus was flavorful and the pita was fresh and hot!

    Very delicious and authentic menu. Our group shared various apps and entrees and all left comforted and satisfied. Service was attentive and ambience was cozy and relaxing. Convenient to the main areas and it was a nice walk from our rental for a girls weekend.

    Fan-freaking-tastic!!! What a great little spot with deliciously creative bites. The place itself is super cute but it is a little noisy inside. Our server was awesome; super helpful and very attentive. My favorite was definitely the cabbage. Charred and cooked to perfection. The hummus and goat was a very close second. The absolute standout though was the baklava. OMG! It was light, flakey and perfectly sweetened. I wish I would've added the lemony sauce to the cauliflower because that would've been perfect. The orange knot dessert was a miss for me but the sauce was outstanding. I'm definitely coming back here to try more of the dishes. It's the perfect little somewhat upscale date spot with affordable creations.

    Sirloin Bourekas.

    Cafe Dimona delivered a fantastic experience from start to finish. We tried a variety of small plates and drinks, and everything hit the mark. The first sauce plate was a great way to kick things off, fresh, flavorful, and perfect for sharing. The falafel was crisp on the outside and soft inside, and the lamb kebab was tender, well-seasoned, and cooked just right. The homemade olives added a nice briny balance to the table. The standout for us was the sirloin bourekas, rich, savory, and absolutely worth ordering. The regular bourekas were also excellent, flaky and satisfying. For drinks, both the Bazaar Nectar and Moroccan Light were refreshing and unique, pairing really well with the food. Service was friendly and efficient, and the overall vibe made for a great meal. Everything we had was really good, and we'll definitely be back to try more of the menu.

    We were in town for the day and came across this spot. We liked that they have a patio area because we had our dog, and that was nice. The inside is so cozy; it feels like you're at your grandma's house having food. Loved that. Ordered the midnight pomegranate drink, and that was delicious. They brought the sample dip plate along with the bread. Our favorite was the spicy green dip. Ordered the schnitzel along with their zatar fries. The chicken was perfect and crispy, and the side salad was really well paired. We also ordered the lamb kabob. This dish has a lot of Moroccan/Indian curry flavors. We are Middle Eastern, and this has more Indian flavor than Middle Eastern flavor but was still yummy. Our food did take a bit longer to come, so the chef did send us complimentary hummus, which was good along with olives, which were AMAZING. Overall, it's a really good spot to stop by if you are in the area.

    Hands down, THE BEST Restaurant in Fredericksburg! Our first experience dining here is like going to all high end restaurant... service is impeccable, food comes out hot and fresh, staff is attentive and kind. I love that when you seated our waitress ask if this is our first time dining here or returning. We said first. She gave us the history of the restaurant which was open in 2023 and how the owner came to open Cafe Dimona with his family recipes. You get complimentary pita bread with 4 different dips. Preserve lemon, tahini, tomato salsa, and leafy green. All is good but Our favorite is the preserve lemon! refreshing and so lemon forward! The pita bread is so good! We ordered: 4/5: Humus comes with pita bread! The humus is good but I felt it was a bit under seasoned or needed acid. I added the preserve lemon with the humus and it was Devine! 5/5: lamb kebab and couscous was fire !! I am not a fan of lamb because of the gamey taste but this lamb was juicy, well seasoned, not gamey, and the best lamb kebab I've ever had! This dish was simply executed so well! The cherry tomatoes was roasted perfectly! Freshness of the cucumber salad helped balance the dish. Simple but excellent dish! Best Mediterranean food I've ever had! It comes with a lentil soup too. I wasn't a fan of the soup but my spouse devoured mine and his lol . Love that the meal is light and you weren't in a food coma after! Do I recommend this place? 100000 yes! I cannot wait to come back to try the branzino which they were out of when we visited. Order extra pit bread! The guest dining next to us was highly raving about Their roasted cauliflower so I can't wait to order that too! Lamb kebab is a must try. Super cozy place for date night, treat yourself, or if you simply want an excellent meal! This is a must try in Fredericksburg! Thank you to the Chef for amazing Mediterranean food in Fredericksburg! A hidden gem!

    Fresh Market Veggie Platter
    Maggie J.

    We had lunch here early on Saturday afternoon. When we arrived there was only one other occupied table in the dining room. The restaurant is located inside of a very charming house and the interior is light and bright and very cozy. The service throughout was fine but a little bit off. When I said I was between the salad, the omelette and the shakshuka the waiter told me to get the shakshuka if I was in the mood for something "watery". Oof. We started with the fresh market veggie platter "for dipping" which ended up being just cucumber, radish, bell pepper and olives that were positively swimming in oil. It was also served without dip so I guess they were for dipping into the 4 sauces that they bring you to try when you sit down. For lunch I ordered the Laurie's Salad with a poached egg and my husband ordered the lamb kebabs. I completely agree with other reviews here that the portions you get for what you are paying is kind of crazy. My husband's $27 lamb kebab plate had three small lamb kebabs with a side of cucumber salad and that's it. My salad was missing it's avocado which they brought when I asked but they first questioned whether it wasn't really in there as if I may be fibbing. The taste of the food was generally fresh and healthy, I just didn't feel like it was worth the menu prices.

    Cafe Dimona was a best option for our party when we were looking for a break from pretzels and sauerkraut. A healthier option but the best part was the ambiance of how they had converted a house into a cozy restaurant. The staff were friendly and didn't have a much of a wait time. The decor was stellar , including the utensils and tableware. My order: Spicy shakshuka Falafel Charred cauliflower Mint tea Orange cake Turkish coffee Pita Sauce platter Challah Loved the spicy Shakshuka. It had a good balance of spices and the spice level wasn't too high and was definitely manageable . Falafel plate was an excellent order. It had the perfect crispiness and the interior was well cooked, not too hard nor moist. Loved the MINT tea. So refreshing!! Best sauces were - Tahini, Amba Mango , Kavush and Matbuha! Will definitely return for the complete package!!

    This is a gem located in Fredericksburg, Texas. We came here on a Saturday evening. It was a cute little looking Cafe with a cozy interior. Definitely an intimate setting. Service was great. They were able to get us our food relatively quickly after we placed our orders. They start you off with a nice little sauce plate with their complimentary homemade pita bread and four different types of sauce. Their tomato based sauce was definitely our favorite. For our appetizer we got Laurie's salad. They make their own lemon tahini based vinaigrette that complements the salad very nicely. It was light, refreshing, and savory. Hummus the Works was excellent. It was spiced really well and topped with meat. It was a Mediterranean version of stuffed nachos. The lamb kebab was not actually a kebab. It was blended with wagyu but still very soft, tender, and tasty. Overall, this was delicious and we left full and satisfied. You should definitely check this place out if you happen to be in town!

    I loved this place and its homey vibes. I'm a huge fan of Mediterranean food and this place was so fresh and delicious! My friend and I visited for lunch and were greeted and sat without a wait or reservation. We were very quickly served a sample of the homemade sauces on a plate to taste before we chose our meals. I really liked the white one and the red one (can't remember their names), and our server was able to tell me which dishes had more of those sauces/were made around those flavors. I will say the menu felt limited! We had a hard time figuring out what to order, but ended up with the hummus plate and a salad to share and it was plenty for us! The beef and lamb were really savory. I'd like to go back for a dinner meal & try out another dish! Side note: the bathroom was so cute and had a great smelling candle lit which added to the ambiance of the place.

    Eggplant Tahini Chips
    Maitina M.

    We had reservations for lunch at Cafe Dimona to celebrate a friend's birthday. We decided to go with their shareables and one entree. We ordered the eggplant tahini chips (good but a bit too salty), fries, hummus, children tenders & fresh cut fries (they were out of the schnitzel) and the falafel entree. I really enjoyed everything we ordered with the exception of the eggplant chips. They were good but as mentioned, they were a bit too salty. Service was spot on. We were well attended and the owner/manager also made it a point to check on our group. The place itself is nice and cozy. It's an older house that was converted into a restaurant. The decor is well thought through. This place is well worth a visit.

    Sauce sampler with warm pita. Complementary to new customers. I'll forever be "new"!

    A Fantastic Introduction to Mediterranean Food!…read more I recently visited Levant Halal Restaurant and brought my parents, who are visiting from India. It was their very first time trying Mediterranean food, and they absolutely loved it! We started with two different types of hummus served with pita. The hummus was incredibly flavorful, and the pita was exceptionally fresh. We also ordered the falafel, which was perfectly prepared and delicious. For the main course, we shared the Chicken Shish Taouk with sides of beet salsa and Lebanese potatoes--everything was cooked beautifully and tasted amazing. Honestly, the highlight of the meal for us was the drinks. The mint juice and beet juice were so refreshing and easily the best part! We finished our meal with baklava and basbousa for dessert, and both were fresh, sweet, and incredibly tasty. Beyond the fantastic food, the ambiance is very neat and clean, and the staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend Levant Halal, especially if you are looking for a great place to introduce family to Mediterranean cuisine!

They looked like they were unhappy that I walked in. The food was alright but the pita was burnt (not good to serve to the customers). Otherwise... I'll check and see if the friendly workers are working before coming back. And the guy started cleaning right next to me with his spray bottle of chemicals. He stopped after cleaning the two tables on each side of me. That could've waited till they closed or he could've started on the other end. Naughty! They need to learn better customer service! Also I ordered the Levant Shawarma plate and I didn't even get to choose the sides.. very very disappointed!

    If you don't yet know that Caspian Grill has a whole vegan menu, you should. I'm late to the game…read moreand now working to make up for lost time. Not only are they incredibly kind, but also very knowledgeable about the vegan options, and even keep all vegan prep separate from animal products. For the first time ever, I was able to try real tahdig, so thoroughly crispy that you can hear it crunch between the teeth of your dining companion across the table. Khoresh bademjan is typically made with lamb, but in this case, tender lentils carry the eggplant with enough meatiness that you'd never think the dish had ever been prepared differently. If you only get one thing, though, make it the ash reshteh. Don't be fooled by the size of the bowl; this is one hearty entree, absolutely packed with chickpeas, lentils, kidney beans, soft wheat noodles, and more herbs and spices than I could identify on a single spoon. I'm already plotting how I can recreate this at home, ASAP. There's even a vegan dessert! Sweet and sticky halva, which is rich enough to split four or five ways at least, if you weren't already stuffed from the main meal. It's a double-edged sword that it was so quiet on a Saturday night. No fight for a table or wait for service, but it worries me that there's almost no buzz for this family-owned business. Get out and support them, early and often!

Thankfully the people who I sat next to were super friendly and helpful in explaining everything to me. I love the decor! The lighting and couch/benches gives it just a kiss of Mediterranean feel.
