    SAHTEIN MIXED GRILL
    Jazmyne M.

    It's been a while since we've dined in, but we came for Valentine's Day and we're so excited to see the upgraded menu. This place is elegant yet cozy and the staff are always so friendly. We tried the mixed grill and it's more than enough for 2 people. Also, zaatar wings are the purrfect sweet and crispy!! Everything is fresh, packed with flavor and indisputable. Wow. We love this place!!

    I don't have much to compare the food at Tripoli's to as I have not had much Middle Eastern food, but I did love the dish that I ordered. I had a Tunisian chicken rice bowl. All of the ingredients were fresh, flavorful, and abundant in my bowl. The aïoli sauce on top truly completed the dish. We had good service but when we visited, there was only one other table so our weight was short. The dining area is clean and beautiful. It's very appealing. I look forward to trying Tripoli's again and branching out and try new dishes.

    3.5 Made a reservation ahead of time and met a group of our friends here for dinner. Nice modern clean establishment located in a strip mall, where parking can get quite busy. Menu had some interesting tasty dishes that were very reasonable. Note that it is a dry establishment where no alcohol is served. Service was very slow- It took awhile for our server to greet us (he did apologize) and take our drink and food orders. Food took a bit long to come out of the kitchen, as well as flagging someone down to pay our bill. My mocktail- oum kalthoum- quite floral in flavor with heavy notes of rose. Refreshing, but don't think I would order it again. My dinner- Tunisian chicken rice bowl sans rice, lettuce instead. Chicken was tasty and had a slight kick, but the bowl lacked the grilled veggies that I had hoped for. So, I ordered Arabic salata which was an extra $7.50 for diced cucumbers, onions, and tomatoes. Beef kofta kebab plate- per my hubby- great flavors, beef juicy. Portion size could be a little bigger. Great ambience, tasty food, service slow. Military discount offered.

    I really enjoyed this place. Food was great. Our waitress was excellent. They have many options on their menu. They also have baked goods, coffee and tea. We went for lunch, but I want to return for just a hot beverage and a baked good one day. For lunch, I had the chickpea salad with the zaatar manakeesh. This is a cheese flatbread with zaatar spices. The chickpea salad is a good portion for being the half portion. It comes on a bed of arugula with chickpeas, red peppers, and feta. It is topped with a lemon herb vinaigrette. For dessert I had a small pastry with date. I don't remember what it was called, but it is one of their baked items. It reminded me of a fig newton. I did try their rose tea. I love rose flavored drinks. It was good, but a bit sweet for my liking. The restaurant is very pretty and it has a good amount of seating. Parking is available on site we shared with the other businesses.

    Decided to stop in just to try out something different. We left satisfied, we asked the server to surprise us and he brought out Libyan couscous. My friend and I enjoyed it, I'd say it wasn't anything wildly flavorful per se but it was good. We ordered two pomegranate limonadas and they were incredibly sweet and I have a very big sweet tooth. Besides that our server was very nice and friendly, although slow at times. The place was decorated very beautifully and had a slight upscale vibe. I will be returning simply to try their Lamburger which sounds absolutely delicious! I will update my review then!

    Recent visit to Tripoli's. It took 10 minutes to be visited by waitress when there was only ONE other table occupied; it felt awkward and we almost left. However, we started off with chickpea salad appetizer. It was good but there was way TOO MUCH lettuce cut in big strips. Dressing was very light. Ordered a Tunisian chicken schwarma; it was good but a bit spicy. The Tbahij (Libyan ratatouille) was delicious with eggplant and potatoes and other veggies. Asked the waitress if I could use the points I earned but she said she didn't know how. Interesting that I keep getting text messages about how many points I have earned. Oh well... (BTW, another patron commented on a bowl she ordered that lacked grilled vegetables ... just like one I received at an earlier time and in which I was chastised by the owner for not sending it back.)

    Falafel rice bowl
    Yliana S.

    Wonderful restaurant. The service was a bit spotty but everyone was kind. The food was delicious, I only wished the falafel wasn't as dry. Presentation was phenomenal, especially the pot of tea!! Vegan-friendly restaurant, at least 4-5 options. Not many people there on a Sunday night so it was quiet with a relaxing ambiance.

    Food: 3/5 - wife and I stopped by to check the place out as we were in the mood for something middle eastern or Mediterranean cuisine. We got an order of falafel to share, wife got the chicken shawarma plate and I ordered the gyros. The falafels were tasty though we felt the chickpeas were grainy and dense. But flavor was good. You get 5 to an order. My gryo was tasty though I felt the tzatziki was more a labneh but still filling and good. My wife felt her chicken shawarma was too wet - almost like the chicken was cooked in a gravy instead of on a spit. Odd. She enjoyed the chicken but not something we would order again. Ambience: 3/5. Nice decor though the music needs to be not as loud. Clean and well decorated. Service: 3/5 the young man waiting on us was polite and checked up on us way too often. But - never asked if he could refill my wife's iced tea. Instead kept asking if he could get us anything else though the iced tea glass was clearly visible to anyone. All in all - was a decent experience but not likely to return.

    The most delicious hummus
    Cyndi A.

    10/10 on authentic Mediterranean food, top notch service and the most relaxing ambiance. I was blown away initially by the decor. The freshly made hummus, rice bowls and lattes were all delicious and well crafted. The owner and our server Mars were extremely professional and helpful by providing insight to the dishes served. If you're looking for authenticity, then you have found it.

    Falafel bowl (no cauliflower)

    Really good food! The service was wonderful and our server was sweet. They were our of cauliflower for my falafel bowl but replaced it with extra falafel which was fantastic! Chill vibes and wonderful food!

    Limonada (Strawberry)
    Kalia A.

    Today, I didn't receive the usual service, but it wasn't bad. However, the music was a bit too loud for my liking, and I was hoping for a more relaxing dinner. One thing I can always count on is the food being delicious and fresh. The owner is consistently kind and welcoming, and my food came out promptly. I also enjoyed a glass of Moroccan mint tea, which was a lovely way to end my meal. This time, I tried the lamb kebab and the strawberry limonada, both of which I rate five out of five. As always, I will be returning!

    Do they still have the lunch buffet and how much does it cost?

    Hello friend. We no longer have a lunch buffet. We did away with that many years ago and transferred to plated service. We hope you’ll be able to make a visit soon and see what we have going on now.

Instead, they offered a promo where if you buy a cheesecake jar, you got a free drink. Score! I tried the tres leches cheesecake, and it was delicious! It wasn't too sweet, which was great. I do wish the layer of cake was a bit taller. I do love how the cheesecakes come in a glass jar so I can reuse it, but you can also save them and give them back when you accumulate 10 for a free jar of cheesecake. As for the drink, I got a dragonfruit strawberry matcha latte. It was pretty good, but I felt like the strawberry was a little overpowering and I couldn't taste the dragonfruit. The cheesecake + matcha for $7 is a great deal! The workers were so nice, and I really love the logo of this place. Great local business to support!

They do have glutten free, sugar free options too if you are the type of person needing to watch what you eat. They all looked really cute but settled on a tiramisu. I wont lie I did get thrown off on taste at first since my thought keep me thinking it wasn't a cheesecake but it tasted good. I did bring it home to chill it more and tasted even better. I also had this mix berry match that was good as well. I think this place is definitely worth trying for any cheesecake lovers out there. Good coffee drinks too.

They tell you how to eat the dish for maximum enjoyment of the desired taste experience. They do an excellent job of creativity, presentation, and combination of flavors. Such an intimate setting.

I'm vegetarian and pregnant so my menu had to be modified but I was so blown away by the fact that they were able to accommodate for me and took such care in making sure my plates met the caliber and intended feeling/taste of the non vegetarian dishes. Same with the drink pairings, although mine were non alcoholic, it wasn't just a blah substitution, they really put a lot of care into making sure the drink matched the energy and vibe of the alcoholic version. My husband and I loved the story telling that went with each dish that described the chef's intentions and the products used for each bite. This was our first fine dining experience and we couldn't have been more satisfied. We were celebrating my husband's graduation and they even had a little card for him signed by the chefs! So cute! I'd definitely recommend checking this place out for a special occasion, or if you're just curious about what a Michelin Star dessert restaurant is all about.
