    Kofta kebab and labanese pizza
    Diane M.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Saaya was such a vibe! It made me feel like I was on vacation as soon as I stepped in to their outdoor seatings in the front.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My girl and I came on a Sunday night around 8pm. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There were a good amount of ppl there but they also had a quite a few tables avaible.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was a little slow, we didn't get greeted for a long time that I had to ask the host for our server, hence the 4 stars. We ordered sliced chicken Makakeesh (Lebanese pizza) and kofta kebab. They were both very delicious, but the pizza was kind of small, it's a size of a personal pizza (about 6 inches). The Kofta kebab was a good portion though. For cocktails, we ordered a fire dancer and zingaro. Both too sweet to our liking. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, Saaya has a great social atmosphere with good food![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Chicken Shawarma
    Jaquita L.

    First off if you're coming on a Saturday make a reservation. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Because we didn't have one we ended up sitting at the bar, which was fine as there were seats available.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service at the bar was pretty good. It wasn't too busy and we were able to get our food and drinks pretty quickly. Spicy feta 7/10: nice level of spice and good flavor. The portion size was good, I would've preferred it with soft pita bread slices versus the crackers. And also more feta. I was missing the feta aside from the small amount of crumbles on top. Felt more like a sauce than what I was expecting. Chicken shawarma 8/10: enjoyed the flavor of this and it was a good portion size. I would've liked more of the pickled veggies but other than that, this was a good dish. The flavor from the chicken really came through - it was well seasoned. Drink (can't remember the name) 5/10: I didn't really care for this drink. The presentation was decent but I wasn't sure what flavors I was expecting or experiencing. I personally wouldn't get this again.

    Grilled Lamb
    Dave K.

    Absolutely loved Saaya from the warm greeting by the security at the Gate to the Greeter inside and then the service. These employees really demonstrated true hospitality. I wasn't very hungry so I went directly for my main course. Had the lamb with yellow rice and a side order of sumac fries. Lamb was well seasoned and succulent, the rice was perfectly fluffy and paired well with the lamb, and the sauces - oh the sauces - delicious. The sumac fries were amazingly seasoned and crisp to perfection. I still think about them. The service was top notch. Can't wait to go back next time I'm in Dallas.

    Hookah - gum mint
    Mekdela T.

    I'm truly shocked it's taken me this long to write a review for Saaya. I absolutely love this place. I've been here for cocktails, dinner, and karaoke, and each time has been amazing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is the place you bring out of town guests that don't mind hookah in the air.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] One stop shop for food and fun. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Saaya is absolutely beautiful - Indoor and outdoor, the decor is everything.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I first came here for a bar crawl I curated for a small group of girls. I made Saaya the last spot on the crawl. I rented the igloo with the karaoke, and we had a time. We had technical difficulties with one of the mics at first, but they were so sweet, they gave us an extra hour. Great customer service. The food, the hookah, it was all good. Now the cocktails, AMAZING. Don't sleep on the mocktails. These are real cocktails with amazing ingredients, I get the mocktails and add alcohol My favorite cocktails - Midnight in Mykonos, Ambassador, and Sunset in Marrakech. Mocktail - Greek Gardens, and add a shot! The hookah is so smooth, and lasts for some time. I always get gum mint. Food wise, I always get the platters and share with the table! You can't go wrong with any of the platters. If you haven't been, check this place out!

    Chicken Shawarma
    Madhu S.

    Visited Saaya in Dallas for my wife's birthday and had a great experience. We booked our table online, which I highly recommend because the place was crowded even on a Thursday night. We arrived around 11 PM, and there's a paid parking lot right next to the restaurant. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe was lively, loud music, crowded, and full of energy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food was fantastic! We tried: * Chicken Bowl ($18) - super yummy * Spiced Chicken Manoushe ($17) a pizza style dish - very tasty * Chicken Shawarma ($16) - delicious * Just Another Bint (mocktail) - Lychee, coconut cream, pineapple, lemon, mint, lemon-lime soda... honestly the best mocktail I've had in a long time Service was good, and they also have outdoor seating. Overall, a fun spot with great food and drinks. Would definitely come back (Added a few snaps from my visit.)

    Food: Mediterranean. It's good, just not a place I'd go if I was super hungry. This is more of a birthday party, celebration type spot. Drinks are pricey, about $15-$18 per drink for cocktails or wine. Hookah is fairly priced but you're mostly paying for the vibes Ambiance: Tropical, Miami, Middle Eastern influenced decor, dim lit spaces Service: I always get a super nice server but I've been at previous times where it's hard to get anyone's attention as they're so busy on weekends. They were able to accommodate our table of 15 although, the stools were a bit shaky. I don't think large parties/tables should be in the center of the room as everyone kept brushing past us to get to the bar. Again, I'd only go for a nice night out, not a regular spot for me due to their prices. Cute for pics though, just keep in mind it's very dark inside so flash photograph might be awkward (also explains the horrible picture quality of the chicken swarma)

    Mocktails
    Abria A.

    Really cute place! We didn't order food but we did have mocktails, and they were pretty good. Our server in particular was great! She was attentive and really friendly. Some of the other staff not so much. They also have domes that can be rented for private gatherings and the pricing was reasonable. Overall, I would recommend this place and would go back myself.

    Lea L.

    This place is definitely at least 4 STARS... I wasn't that much excited about menu and the lamb sliders didn't look that great. The bread swallowed up the meat. The popcorn chicken was filling. I don't eat shrimp/shellfish but my friends got some dishes and thought they were ok. Service was nice. Loved their outfits! I am in love with the ambiance and the location. Right near the metro, that I never see run lol. But there is places nearby to go to next. This place has karaoke and hookah, a great night out for sure!

    Dip Trio! Spicy feta, tzatziki and hummus...loved the hummus!
    Charis S.

    The ambiance here is great! Definitely an exotic vibe. Thank you to Joanna at the hostess stand for seating me right away, even with all of the hectic mess from another party trying to be seated. Super sweet! Arianna was great, took care of us throughout the night. Everything we ate was delicious - the Sumac fries are always great for the table, I'd get the Lebanese Caesar again and again and the shrimp kebabs will be my go to every time I come here. So freaking good. Everything!

    Sumac Fries
    Renee I.

    Saaya has a beautiful vibe to it. Once you walk into the space, you immediately get a feel of the experience they want to deliver. The hosts and staff were all pleasant with welcoming smiles. They have both indoor and outdoor sitting for your pleasure, with accommodating heating for the cooler nights. Their menu offering is nice. I ordered the Sumac Fries and the Shrimp Kabab; The sumac fries were one of the best seasoned fries I've ever tasted. And I'm not a ketchup girl at all, but their spicy ketchup was one of a kind. It added an elevated experience to an already tasty fries. The shrimp kabab was delicious. Although seasoned well, the basmati rice was just okay. One thing that I especially loved was that our waiter was attentive and came around like clockwork. This place is a legit hookah lounge also so there's that.

    Saaya Ultimate Feast
    Phi N.

    I love the ambience at Saaya but parking is only valet in the area so most of our group took a ride share. Note that weekends do get pretty busy and reservations are recommended. Seating is only for 2 hrs and they keep to this when they're busy. We did the ultimate feast, which provided us with plenty of food variety, which were all delicious. Their happy hour deals are pretty amazing as well. Later in the night they'll also have belly dancers. The ambience of the restaurant is very nice both inside and outside. The hookah flavors are a great addition with your meal if you enjoy it! Can't wait to come back!

    Shrimp

    Saaya has a beautiful atmosphere! I went on a Thursday and there were belly dancers and a fire show. We sat on the patio which had the space heaters so that was nice during the night time! The food was amazing! The fries which sound so simple but they were really good! The basmati rice was delicious! The waitress was just okay. I would recommend this place to anyone in Dallas or those visiting!

This time, I had to try the viral frozen margarita, and it totally hit the spot. It was refreshing, not too sweet, and honestly the perfect "boozy dessert" if that's what you're looking for. The dirty martini, my go-to, was also perfect. The most pleasantly surprising drink was the popcorn bourbon cocktail. It literally tasted like buttered popcorn in drink form, but still felt balanced with just enough bitter notes to let the bourbon shine. Overall, Apothecary continues to be one of my favorite spots for creative cocktails that actually taste as good as they look.

The staff was very inviting and I felt seen and talked to. I ordered: Icelandic hot dog: without happy hour price this would have been 7$. I would not recommend anyone order it at that price but for happy hour half off price, it was more reasonable. Scallop tostada thing: flavors were good. I think full price it was 6 or 8 dollars but for half price it was totally worth it and an interesting bite with food acidity Salmon dip: was gooey and huge and about 17$. I think the pieces of smoked salmon were a little too big for the chip. Pineapple dole whip drink: 12$ happy hour prices. It was Soo yummy and I loved the tajin on top and it was an alcoholic ice cream. Yumm Only fans: also a pretty good drink. Smooth but I would get the pineapple drink again. Overall great experience ,will come back to try some of the other menu items

The hotel property is like four legs under the table - a great location, a great hotel experience, a great restaurant experience, and a entertainment experience (The Mansion Bar). At least one leg has been kicked out, one is suffering. The Mansion Bar used to have a great recipe for success - proven by how busy and regular the customers were and loyal (or was), and the top tier talent that was routine for 10+ years. Me and my friends have a relationship with the long time staff as customers as well as the excellent music talent. The cause? Not precisely sure but I think it's new ownership, at the very least a new Food & Bev manager. I also know the staff is very upset about these changes and the relationships with the repeat music talent is now a mess. I wouldn't be surprise if the staff start leaving. I'm hoping whomever is making these decisions can revert back to what was working. Dallas has a lot of great venues that will fill this void.
