Great food and the cutie working the register/waiting on the tables & making sure our food was ok, he was an added bonus! Will def return when I visit my parents! Plus, they have a Hookah Lounge next door! Can't wait to return! read more

The food was delicious! I enjoyed it very much! I didn't like the taste of the roasted red pepper hummus, it was a bit too salty for my liking but the chicken and rice was yum . I also ordered a rose water limonada read more

Tripoli's - Chicken Tikka Plate with a Greek Salad - Mediterranean Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

The food was amazing. The quality of the ingredients was on par for the price. Server was attentive and courteous. The wait was a little long but I don't mind waiting so long as the food comes out tasting good. I think the wait was worth the food. Staff worked well together. I loved the artwork, music, tables, chairs and bar. I ordered the chicken tunisian plate with the fatoush salad. Ugh it was all amazing, I've never had such flavorful chicken. We left feeling satisfied but not stuffed which is perfect. Nothing was greasy. This was a very refreshing meal that's different from the usual greasy american food. We will be coming back. read more

Very good! Whenever I am in San Antonio I will stop here. The protein bowls and rice bowls are always fresh.

I'll be so glad when we can "dine-in" again ... however, in the meantime I'm happy "to go". First visit to Tripoli's proved very tasty. Persian tea with rose syrup for the drive home. Lamb kabob, rice and veggies was delish in spite of the fact it was room temp by the time I ate. The Tripoli sampler appetizer was yumyumyummmyyy. The kunafa was perfect, not overly sweet but a tasty finish to the meal. This one is a keeper !!! The young ladies taking the order and preparing the dishes were most helpful and courteous. Thanks !!!dey, read more

This place is so great! I really love the red pepper hummus, fresh pita, tikka flatbread and the Greek salad. Oh, and the fries with skins on are fantastic. Really, everything here is so delicious, tasty and great quality. This place is hella packed for lunch, but coming in for dinner is a nice quiet environment. It's literally night and day. read more

Outstanding meals, fantastic service, enjoyable atmosphere. So much food I'll be taking all leftovers home for dinner!

I love that we happened to discover this restaurant! I tend to get some sort of rice bowl, which has never failed me. The gyro meat is tender and very flavorful, the falafel is wonderful and very filling, and the tea! The tea is amazing! I love Mediterranean food, mainly because a good chunk of it is gluten free, but they definitely raised the bar at this restaurant. I can't wait one day to sit on the other side and just relax drinking tea and reading a very good book. read more

If you have a lot of time and don't mind being ignored for a while, the food is actually worth the wait. We were seated and initially ignored. It wasn't until we started looking around impatiently that our server came to take our orders. He then disappeared. When I started loudly talking about the people who were seated after us and already got there drinks that someone came over to check on us. Then Justin took over. Within moments, our drinks were served, followed shortly be our meals . The gyros was delicious, and my Tunisian chicken was cooked perfectly. The baklava was great, not too sweet, just perfect. All in all, despite the great quality of the food, the only reason this is not a totally negative review is Justin. He saved the whole experience for us!! read more

Only Mediterranean food i eat in the city! Excellent service and great Ambiance! All the food was amazing. Highly suggest the Taste of the Mediterranean to get you started on this delicious menu! read more

Delicious salads, plates and the best hummus I have ever had! Beautiful and intimate ambiance. Super friendly service. So glad we tried it!

Every Ramadan I crave the very foods that Muslims are abstaining from during daylight hours. The press publishes tons of articles about the meals they're avoiding, what they're eating for midnight snack, the light dishes they eat at sundown. It drives me a bit nutty. I feel like it's wrong to have someone who's fasting cook for me. The result is now I celebrate Eid, too! I got the chicken shawarma rice bowl, and some baklava. The rice bowl was layered with some of the most delicious basmati, romaine lettuce (it works, promise), chicken, grilled onions, diced tomatoes, feta, and drizzled sauces. It was a tender, flavorful masterpiece. I hadn't experienced flavors like that since childhood. It was kind of emotional! The baklava was similarly fantastic. Dog friend also enjoyed the crumbs that I dropped. The only hummus they had was red pepper, so I didn't order any. That was the sole disappointment. My home health provider picked up the food for me. She said that the restaurant "smelled really, really good in there!" She also really liked the employees beards. Eid Mubarak! read more

Lunch Price: $9 for mixed plate (chicken tikka and gyro) Food was great. The chicken tikka is very spicy. They bring you a pitcher of water. I came back the next day. The tzatziki sauce is really good. Overall, I would come here again for the spicy chicken. read more

This is an amazing Mediterranean restaurant with amazing and fast service. This location is right outside of the Lackland base and is a great place to stop for some lunch. I ordered the Gyro rice bowl and it was fantastic and extremely flavorful. The amount of rice did surpass the rest of the ingredients , but it was still quite amazing. Will come again to try the calzones! They are goat cheese infused. read more

We just moved to the area and gave them a try. The food was great and the restaurant was clean and nicely decorated. We will make this a regular place to visit! read more

Came back expecting more good food. I previously gave it a 4 star. So disappointed! I did carry out. The french fries were not cooked enough, limp and blackened. The attached picture is of the fries before I put them in the oven to finish cooking them. They were inedible before and after I put them in the oven. They ran out of tzaziki and substituted with hummus. The gyro sandwich was ok. I should have stayed with the shawarma. Probably won't come back. There are so few restaurants around Lackland unless you like fast food restaurants. read more

Came here for San Antonio Burger Week to try their Lamburger and was not disappointed! Sooooo yummy. They made it a combo for me and I added an arugula salad with some Iced Arabia Coffee. Couldn't finish the giant burger but so glad I tried! Dripping with slow roasted feta cheese on a pretzel bun. Mmmmmm! read more

The ambience is very nice, the wait staff is very patient and the cooks are very fast. We loved the kids area Bc we have two small kids who like to run rampant in most places so the area kept them mildly contained! We ordered the classic gyro no onion, tomatoes or red pepper but seemed to get all of them in our wrap. The wood was tasty a little over priced but it was good. The fires are super yummy! read more

Lamb bowl was delightful and comes in at a good price point. Ingredients were fresh and the flavors played well together. The Ms had the falafel plate, tasty was reported as good, however very dry, definitely have to get extra sauce to make these palatable. Decorum was well presented, and comfortable. What brought everything to a screeching halt was the horribly loud odor being emitted by the restroom sanitary drains, this stench was noticeable 10 feet from the bathrooms and called everything else into question. This needs to be remedied asap, wholly acceptable. read more

This place is very good. I always get the. Chicken tikka bowl but opted for the Chicken Tikka Plate this time. So full of flavor and left me full. It is spicy, but I love it like that! I also tried for the first time the chicken sambusa and they were delicious. Ordered online and picked it up. read more

Tripoli's - Chicken Tikka Plate with Greek salad - Mediterranean Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Great hidden gem just outside of Lackland AFB. The greek salad was exceptionally fresh and their house dressing is really unique. The gryo is right up there with some of the best in town. The Baklava was perfectly seasoned and a pleasant finish to a great meal. I wholeheartedly recommend! read more

Went here for a business meeting around lunch time. You must get there early for lunch as it fills up quick. The falafel rice bowl was good, they added a ranch/thousand island sauce that didn't go with the meal. I wish you could add hummus to the rice bowl as it would have been way better, I had to order an appetizer of hummus to add to my bowl. read more

Well I love the food..good stuff. Ordered on line still was not ready. I asked if I could have a tea while I wait. They wanted to charge me. Oh well... Good food...just venting read more

Excellent food (no matter what you order); excellent service. My go-to for lamb burgers, my mother-in-law for falafel, and my toddler for their "pizza". read more

I know Texas is know for their BBQ but we didn't have that great experience most have had while visiting so as we were leaving the base we seen Tripoli's. We figured humm Mediterranean food in Texas, well BBQ wasn't all that so why not? From the moment we walked in the customer service was great by the young man behind the coffee counter, also ended up being our waiter. My parents never tried Mediterranean food but I have. The young man gave them time to explorer the menu and answered their many question. The roasted hummus with pita bread was fresh and good, I just it was brushed with olive oil & garlic but was still good. The lamb and chicken tender! Everything was very well presented on our plates meaning our food didn't look thrown on the plates...they put thought & care into making all our plates and that's very much appreciated!! I would've given them a 5 star but I do think they're just a bit pricey but regardless I would visit again and highly recommend especially to those near or visiting the Base read more

This place is a vibe! Let's start there. The ambiance is amazing, the decor and aesthetic is just everything! There is nothing better than eating a delicious meal in a beautiful and clean setting. And speaking of food! OMG! This is the first place I've had lamb that wasn't gamey with a not so pleasant after taste. The lamb here is like cooked to perfection! It's tendered, it's well seasoned, and pairs perfectly with every dish I've had it in- and I've tried quite a few dishes here. The food is so good that I literally try something different every time I go (which is so out of the norm for me) and have yet to be disappointed! You will thoroughly enjoy anything you get here. And the owners are so cool! They're personable, friendly, very welcoming, and just make you feel like family. I just absolutely love the place! They also have an amazing server there named Kennedy, who is the absolute best! She's bubbly, friendly, and super efficient! I highly recommend Tripoli's for literally any occasion. Oh! One last thing, they have a coffee bar, with pastries and desserts...I mean... chef's kiss!!! Definitely try it, you wont be disappointed! read more

most of all the entrees that I tried were not good. the beef plate got to my table not hot. it was cold. the presentation of the meal and sides were trash. 3 pieces of onion 3 pieces of green pepper, and 3 french fries, supposed to be my side of fries complete joke. will never go back. read more

I had never heard of a falafel calzone before, but this dish has now become my favorite way to eat falafel. The bread was similar to a flavorful naan stuffed with just the right amount of cheese and the falafel was delicious. It looked like a small amount of food when served, but it was surprisingly filling. Would recommend with a side of curly fries - partially to help round out the meal, but mostly because they were tasty. Restaurant was very clean. Service was quick and friendly. Definitely will return for the falafel calzone and to check out the coffee bar. read more

I enjoyed the lamb kebab rice bowl. The food is flavorful! The service is good and everyone was friendly.

Stopped by looking some good Mediterranean food and these folks did not disappoint! Service was super friendly and very prompt. We went after the lunch rush and was served in no time. I ordered the gyro plate and it was maybe the best gyro meat I've ever had. Moist and so flavorful! My wife ordered the chicken shawarma plate which was very tasty and seasoned perfectly! Please give them a try if you're looking for very fresh ingredients and delightful service! Support local business if you can! read more

Considering the limited dining options in the Lackland area, this place was sorely needed. Add in the fact that it also has a hookah bar, and you have a semblance of a social gathering place. Ensure that there's walls, glass, and doors separating the two areas and you've pleased everyone to walk through your doors! I am so tired of going to hookah places that decide to serve food and make people who are just there for the food sit in the smoke-saturated area and hack up a lung! Super grateful that this place has done it right- the building is clearly new, freshly painted, and carefully decorated. That being said, I guess most people come here for the hookah, because it was dead empty at noon on a weekday despite an $8 buffet. I'd pass on the buffet in the future, because it was pretty limited and the food wasn't that good- giant pan of greek salad, bland lentil soup, spicy chicken and rice, spicy fish in the exact same sauce, bland fish without a sauce, and a pasta dish that was falling apart. The price was right for what you got, but I would have rather ordered from the menu. So we did- after lunch, we got take out for dinner. You know, to make sure this review was as thorough as possible. All in the name of research, I say! (Translation: our groupon was worth $30). The menu-food reminded me of the food you'll find at Sultans in the medical center- cheap and decent and tasty, but more of an American-Medi fusion than authentic. The gyro was decent, and the calzone with lamb and onions was good, too. They have a bomb garlic sauce. Even waiting until evening to reheat and eat these items, they were still clearly fresh and tasty, and they were priced well- about $7 for each, would make a decent lunch or good snacks while smoking hookah. I want to take a special moment to mention the NY Cheesecake. We ordered a slice for dessert and, for better or worse, it was the star of our lunch. The crust was lumpy and uneven, which gave it a homemade feel, and it had a layer of strawberry both on top and in the middle, and the back end didn't have that nasty clumpy feeling/taste to it like most store-bought cheesecakes do. This was one heavenly slice, that I totally didn't expect! For a cheap $2, definitely get it to go with anything else you order! read more

I tried Tripoli's last year and walked away having not enjoyed my meal. Today, about 8 months later, I have a whole new take on Tripoli's. I ate here with a couple of coworkers and it has improved greatly. After the first trip, I would have given then maybe 2 stars but today it's 4 stars. They offer a nice, albeit small buffet. The usual suspects are present. There are 2 different kinds of rice which were both nicely seasoned. The white rice had a real lemon or lime taste. Let's call it citrusy. The salad was prepared with diced tomatoes, some black olives, and feta cheese. Their dressing added a nice tang to it. One thing I didn't care for was the way they nearly shredded the lettuce. I like to stab my salad with a fork, not scoop it. There were numerous meats on tap and a sampling of fish. The boneless chicken chucks had nice crusty burnt bits that immediately informed you that these were properly grilled over fire. They also had another chicken that looked like a rib; dark in color, amazingly spiced, and absolutely moist with a hint of grease, these babies were the bomb. The fish, I assume to be tilapia, was more mildly seasoned, flaky, with a bit of butter and oil to set it off. In all, Tripoli's lunch buffet for $7.99 is definitely worth the price of admission. If you work on or near Lackland, you'd be wise to give Tripoli's a try. read more

I've had the lunch buffet at Tripoli's twice now, and I've been impressed both times. It's not a particularly big buffet, but everything is attractively presented and--more importantly--delicious. The big standouts for me are the grilled meats: lovely boneless chicken in a savory marinade and big, juicy chunks of lamb shank. There's also a really nice zesty salad, which you know must be good if I'm mentioning it. The restaurant is divided in half by a wall of windows that separates the dining room to the left and the hookah lounge to the right. This partition does a great job of keeping the smoke out of the dining area. However, I could detect a fruity smell in the air, which I found pleasant. The guys who work at Tripoli's are very friendly and happy to explain the different foods--so the uninitiated need not feel intimidated. In addition to the buffet, they offer a full menu for dining in and to go. This place is right outside the gate of Lackland AFB, where I work. I like it enough that I'd be content eating there once a week. And I will be back, insha'Allah. read more

The food is REALLY good, but they are extremely slow. It took 15 minutes for drink orders, we've been here a total of 45 minutes. The staff is very nice though just unfortunate we saw so many people just walk out read more

Jibin was most awesome APPETIZER . Soft dough with gyro on top dipped in the special sauce. Also the lamb & beef shiskabob . For main course. Beef calzone . Gyro platter. Combination platter lamb and gyro over rice. Food was so good 1st visit was full and didnt get to try dessert selection. So ordered in reverse . Good decision. So enjoyed the entire meal. Hooka Lounge is here also for that after dinner smoke.. read more

Tripoli's - Wonderful.. JIBIN ITS APPETIZER .IT WAS HREAT - Mediterranean Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Tripoli's provides an authentic Mediterranean cuisine experience, and is a hotspot for visiting foreign military members of the region. Apart from the delicious classics, Tripoli's uses traditional flavors presented in modern, lunch friendly dishes. The Rice Bowls are my personal favorite. Similar to grabbing a quick bowl from Chipotle, it is the perfect amount of food for the professional to grab lunch while on the go! I highly recommend Tripoli's for their positive atmosphere, service, and quality of ingredients. read more

Tripoli's - Lamb kebab rice bowl! - Mediterranean Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Oh my yum. Just had lunch with my bestie. First time here for both of us. She's local and I'm not. We had the bowls. She got the tikki (spicy goodness) while I had the shawarma. We shared. And we're pleased with both. Saffron rice with lettuce and tomato then a decent serving of the protein with a yogurt sauce. Our server was amazing (Samoan young man) who really made us feel welcome as did the other server and even the mgr. Our tea and coffee were super late but our server updated us. Communication for the win. I'll be thinking of this place when I'm back home on New Mexico' read more

I ordered a falafel plate and falafel wrap using the yelp app. A lady called to make sure my order was correct since I'm vegan and asked if I wanted to remove the garlic sauce (which I didn't know had dairy). I appreciated that she called me to make sure the order was correct. We also tried the roasted red pepper hummus it was small for 4.99 but super delicious and they give you a lot of pita. I also got a side a fries and they were seasoned well. I will definitely come back! read more

Great food, but very poor service. I called the restaurant and ordered the Chicken Tikka bowl around 11:30 am for pick up. They said it would be ready by 12:15 so I arrived around 12. There was one large table and one small table that was being served by 1 waiter. I stood in front of the register and kept trying to make eye contact with the server so I could ask him about my order, but he kept ignoring me and running around. I could see the cooks in the back moving about, but not preparing food. I waited a little bit and the cashier showed up, so i asked him about my order and gave him my name. He looked confused when I gave him my name and he told me he would check on it. He went to the back and told me the were working on it. I waited about 15 minutes, but heard nothing. I walked to the back and asked the manager about my order. She went to check on it, came back, and told me they were working on it. So I waited and waited and it was about 12:45 by then. A woman came in and told the waiter about her online order. He went to the kitchen and returned 10 or so minutes later with her order. I asked him again about my order and he said they were STILL working and on it. By that time, it was around 1 and I was pretty mad. So I had to openly become frustrated, tell the guy I had waited 45 min and demand my order. The guy acted apologetic and went to the back and returned with my order. By the time I was ready to go it was already 1:15. The food here was excellent, but I advise you, you must be willing to wait for a long time. read more
