    Honey Chicken Kabobs Plate
    Anna Z.

    My favorite place for a healthy and quick service meal. I personally love the honey chicken with their rice, cauliflower, and/or the salad on the side. The garlic sauce is fabulous! Great place and very consistent. Also, easy to find parking

    We had a wonderful experience at Maya's Modern Casa Linda. We sat out on the patio with our dog, which was such a nice touch and made us feel very welcome. The food was absolutely delicious, and the wine on tap was a great surprise--fresh and perfectly paired with our meal. Service was quick, attentive, and friendly. Linda made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. We'll definitely be back!

    Salmon Plate
    Taira H.

    Super delicious for lunch or a nice dinner. The cashier was super nice and she helped by suggesting some of her favorites with a killer combination sauce for the salmon. The food was fresh and very great quality for the price. The spices were spot on with not too much salt or oil. The staff was friendly, quick and clean. They do have wifi and they also have homemade lemonade which is yummy. The hummus and all the sides were really good. The portions are also great for the price.

    Salad - I don't see the item I ordered in the list, but it's a salad. Simple, right? Plus salmon.

    Solid eatery for lunch. Good selection of drinks, good food, and good seating. I'll come again. I had not been to this nook of the Dallas area before and this is tucked away in a storefront with shared parking, as most places are. I'd say be careful not to park in the next door business's "to go" spot, because I did, and then felt bad later. But the food was good at Maya's, so I felt better. Ha. What you'll see is a salad with salmon added, and a beer (Velvet Antler).

    Went in for dinner but this is what i got!!! Guy didnt even say that they dont do dine in! At least have the decently to tell the customer that no dine in just take out. We call that courtesy Oh Merrick #millenials Russel, that's exactly the point! Had this had been explained when we stepped in, then this review had not been written.

    Food and service was great! We also got the harissa chicken soup, which was delicious. I would skip the broccoli slaw next time. Try the lemon garlic (toum) sauce!

    10 out of 10 if I were able to score this place. Iraq vet whom hates public places or crowds ; but love mediterranean food. The ambience to which was given was completely positive; as if it were straight out of a 1990s cookbook of welcoming warmth! The food is beyond imaginable. The salmon was so on point I literally cannot go anywhere else and expect better in the area. Their sauces are so fire I literally have to call my friends that live in the area JUST TO tell them to bring their families here. You will definitely have a smile on your face; before , during, and after your exchange at this restaurant. The falafel here is actually moist as can be; not any bit dry and WOWW Do they KNOW how to properly prepare REAL hummus. . This food made us feel GOOD About our bodies that we're taking time before the 80 mile hike back home into North Texas to go on a stroll in the park near by with our baby boy!

    Air Baked Falafel Plate with Turmeric Rice Solo Side and Oven Roasted Cauliflower Solo Side
    Feathers M.

    I've been to Maya's Modern Mediterranean at least two more times since my first visit, and unfortunately, I have to knock down my rating one star. The restaurant seems to be a bit inconsistent, which I feel comfortable saying because I've ordered the same exact meal each time. Each visit, the air-fried falafel is either a bit over-cooked and dry or like my latest visit, it was undercooked and chewy. The roasted cauliflower was a bit on the greasy side during my last visit too. This all being said, the restaurant is clean and the staff are friendly.

    Beef kabobs

    Let me save you some time, money, and sheer humiliation: DO NOT eat at or cater from Maya's Modern Mediterranean. Ever. This place is an absolute travesty, and I'm convinced the owner, Russell, must live in an alternate reality where burnt, inedible garbage qualifies as "Mediterranean food." I hired them to cater my wife's baby shower, and what they delivered wasn't just bad--it was a complete culinary catastrophe. Russell assured me that I "wouldn't be disappointed." Not only was I disappointed, but I'm actively disgusted--and every single one of our guests were, too. Imagine having people at the baby shower whispering that the food is the worst Mediterranean food they've ever eaten. Yeah, that's the level of embarrassment we're talking about. Let's get to the specifics because the devil is in the disgusting details. The portion sizes? Way off. We ordered enough to feed our guest list, and what we received wouldn't have satisfied a pack of feral cats. And the beef kabobs? I wouldn't even serve them to my dog. They were overcooked, burnt to a crisp, and straight-up looked like dog shit. No exaggeration--just charred, shriveled lumps of misery that somehow managed to taste even worse than they looked. It was almost impressive how they managed to ruin something as simple as kabobs. Now, onto the professionalism--or rather, lack thereof. After the disaster, I confronted Russell, who at least pretended to take responsibility. We agreed on a refund amount, and he told me he'd mail a check. Guess what? Weeks later, no check. No response. Russell has completely ghosted me, proving just how unprofessional and shady this establishment truly is. This isn't just bad food--it's an outright scam. Russell and Maya's Modern Mediterranean ruined what should have been a beautiful, joyful day, and I wouldn't wish this experience on anyone. If you value your money, your time, and your dignity, stay far, far away from this place. It's not just bad--it's offensive.

    Honey Chicken Kabobs

    Yum! I'm sad it took me so long to try this place. Everything was so fresh and the portions were a great size. Highly recommend the honey chicken kabobs. I think the hummus was a little over hyped, but would get it again.

    Let me start by saying that the aesthetic of this place is so light and clean! The food is great! The people are so sweet and it is located in a great place! If you are in the area and plan on having some lunch or dinner this is a great little "To-go" or "dine in" spot for smaller crowds. The food is very light and not over seasoned. It is a healthy palette and I love it! I'll definitely be going back to try more dishes! Ok now bye bye then!

    I don't understand all the stellar reviews for this place. Our experience was entirely different. I could easily go 2 stars but I am nice so I'll be generous. I usually love Middle Eastern food so this place was a complete disappointment. Let's see, where to begin? Service was very slow, they got the order wrong, only part of one order came out because the other part was dropped on the floor, which entailed another long wait, and the food was mediocre. The kid's honey chicken was completely dried out to the extent that she could and would not eat it. There was nothing honey about it, it was just a dried out kabob of chicken. Complete waste of money. The wife's shawarma chicken was likewise completely dried out. Bone dry. Desert-like dry. Another complete waste of money. She did not like it at all, and I tried it and agree. The worst I have ever tasted. My falafel was strange. Usually falafels come with the chickpea balls, tahini sauce, and then some greens and tomatoes. These were just the balls and tahini. The balls are air fried which is nice but they lacked crispiness. The pita was from a package and not home baked. The tahini was ok but a bit watery and the portion was tiny, not nearly enough for 4 balls. The hummus had a strong lemon flavor and it was ok but not close to what Izmir serves. I usually like to support locally owned, neighborhood restaurants, but I can't think of a reason why we should return.

I'm a big fan of halloumi in general but this one was particularly cooked well and a must order for next time. For main entree I ordered Hunkar Begendi, which is sautéed marinated lamb tenderloin with red and green bell peppers over creamy eggplant puree. The lamb was in fact tender and perfectly seasoned and the eggplant puree went very well with the slight gaminess of the meat. I enjoyed this dish overall and it didn't feel too heavy, which sometimes is the case when I eat lamb. The pieces of meat were cut small enough while not being super tough, which I appreciated. I would definitely recommend this restaraunt if you enjoy trying Mediterranean fusion spots!

Fortunately, they had some space on the patio. It was a hot night however they had couple fans to blow away some heat. Food: Started with a salad which was fresh, flavorful and with large chunks of beets, watermelon, and feta cheese. Great appetizer. My wife and I wanted to try a couple of items to share for the main entree, I had branzino. The whole fish, filleted, and grilled. The flavor was rich, without being overly salty nor too oily. The sides 1. Grilled Branzino - Served with quinoa arugula salad 2. Ali Nazik- Chargrilled lamb shish over smoked eggplant puree served with bean salad on the side Both were fantastic. The lamb was cooked just right and turned out moist and tender. The eggplant puree was a great texture; neither too smooth to lose its integrity nor too chunky. The staff was attentive and helpful. Verdict: 9/10: Would definitely go back but with a reservation or in a mindset to sit in the heat on the patio. Also, the deboning process for the fish could've used a little more care, but that didn't take away from the flavor.

The good : flavors were delicious. Our server was attentive and the entire staff seemed happy to have us.The flat bread pide (at another table) looked sumptuous . Chicken shish kebab chunks were cooked well and seasoned nicely and were juicy. The complementary bread is superb. The yogurt dip that went with though was not enough for us to have more than a few bites. Needs improvement: there was no reason why the accompanying (delicious) bean and cucumber salad was 24 to 48 hours old with Limp cucumbers and parsley and flavorless tomatoes. Needs to be fresh daily and use cherry tomatoes or Campari tomatoes for flavor and crispness. Turkish Rice was meh. It was cooked properly but not a whole lot of flavor and perhaps I was expecting more of a Lebanese style pilaf with butter, nuts, spices, onions, etc. to brighten it up. Beyti minced beef had good flavor, but why did they have gristle in it? My dinner companion complains was that this was a cheap cut. The butcher supplier is not paying attention. It also could've used a little bit more sauce on the bread wrap pieces for added juiciness. We ordered the.Tzatziki yogurt dip which helped add juiciness . There was no reason why the Turkish red wine came out warm. I realize that we were in a Dallas summer at 95° at 9 PM and the restaurant was slightly warm but still. Lastly, the owners might think about mitigating the hard surfaces that reflect sound in the restaurant. It's a lively place, but we were subjected to the group of six women who were drinking enough to be loud and screechy across the room - all too common across the city -and I did not need to hear them yukking it up. The place was full on a Saturday night, which bodes well for this restaurant. The staff attitude is good, but I'm afraid this will not be a repeat for me and my companions. .
