    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

    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.

    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!

    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

    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.

    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!

    Pineapple hookah

    Good vibes beautiful people ordered cocktails and the pineapple hookah took about 30 minutes to make comes with a dried ice smoke show ... the hose that comes with it is a very cheap so change that and you have 5 stars...

    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!

    I have been to Saaya a bunch of times and i truly say it's a fantastic experience from start to finish every single time! Staff: The service was warm and attentive without being overbearing. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and made excellent recommendations, especially when we were torn between a few dishes. The hostess greeted us with a smile, and even the manager checked in to make sure everything was going well--small gestures that really elevated the experience. Ambience: Saaya has a modern, upscale vibe with just the right touch of elegance. The lighting was soft and inviting, and the music added a laid-back, contemporary feel without being too loud. The decor struck a balance between chic and cozy, making it a great spot for a date night or small group dinner. Food: The food was the highlight. Every dish we tried was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. The lamb chops were perfectly cooked--tender with a flavorful spice crust--and the mezze platter was generous and varied. I also loved their craft cocktails, especially the fig-infused Old Fashioned. If you're into bold flavors with a Mediterranean twist, this place hits the mark. The only reason I'm giving it 4 instead of 5 stars is that the dessert menu felt a bit limited, but that's just a minor quibble in an otherwise excellent! Highly recommend checking out Saaya if you're in the area!

    Oh my goodness -- Adriana was absolutely amazing! From the moment we sat down, she was so sweet and attentive. She really made sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves throughout the evening. Adriana checked in regularly, offered great suggestions for both cocktails and appetizers, and her positive energy made the entire experience feel special. Her professionalism and kindness stood out, and honestly, she played a big part in making our date night memorable. She did an excellent job -- and looked beautiful doing it! We truly hope we get her again as our server next time. We'll definitely be back, and we hope others get to experience the same top-tier service she gave us.

    Went to this place on a Thursday night for a girls night. And let me start off with a list of pros and cons: Pros: ambiance was AMAZING! They had good music, belly dancers, and it was a nice oasis away from the usual places. Very unique spot! And the drinks there are BOMB. Cons: service was "meh" for a regular Thursday night. Hate to see this place when it's busy on a Friday night or Saturday. Not gonna comment too much on the food because I don't normally eat Mediterranean dishes. But what I got was pretty meh too. Overall: I'd come here if you are looking for good drinks and a different vibe away from the usual cutesy downtown places.

    Saaya is always the vibe. Love taking my friends here for a different experience in Deep Ellum. Mediterranean food is good, they offer hookah inside and outside, bars, live DJ on the weekends, belly dancers, and domes you can step inside for an intimate gathering for karaoke. Jeff, one of the managers, and Oscar, the bartender, always takes care of me and makes me feel welcome when I go. My friends always have a good first time here. Definitely recommend for a great night out

A low-lit lounge and bar, a space that feels intimate and yet, the music playing from the speakers (not too loud, just there) gives it an expectant energy, too. It's the kind of place you enjoy being because it feels like an experience. I'm going to have a unique, well-made drink tonight in a cool spot. The cocktail menu seems like it's updated every season or so, the bartenders/creators' names featured on the cover. Very cool. Will definitely be back.

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.
