Food was so tasty & service was incredible. The falafel was so crispy and fried to perfection! We stopped in the afternoon & there was no wait. The hummus needed more flavor, but was overall good. The beef shawarma plate, omg!, so so good. The rice was what rice dreams are made of. Wouldn't hesitate to return! read more

Always our option for a late night bite of great food! Whenever we are off of work late, this is the spot! Usually service is great and friendly. Just double check at paying to make sure that autograt hasn't been added already. He mentioned leaving tip to my partner and my partner pointed out that he already had added the grat. Outside of that, always a great option! read more

WAVA HALAL GRILL - Tricombo - Mediterranean Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Surprised to see the hype around this place. Pros: open till late night, they don't skimp on their meats, huge portions. Falafel was crispy. Mediocre: the taste, I felt it was alright and nothing to be awestruck about. The rice was ok, the flavour of the meats were alright, crinkle cut fries are decent. Hubs also ordered chocolate milkshake for me, this was quite creamy and tasty. DoorDash order, cannot comment on the service or ambiance. read more

The food is good, but service is questionable and has a communication issue. I do not recommend taking out, I highly recommend physically entering the building and placing your order: Ordered through GrubHub for a business meeting. The delivery driver arrived at my location, but with an entirely different order that belonged to someone else. When I called the restaurant, I was informed that the person who's food I received, came into the restaurant to pickup their food, even though it was being delivered to me. They also stated that they never received my order from GrubHub, which is confusing, because how did the delivery person get to my address with the wrong food? Not sure... After that debacle and confusion, I ordered directly through their website and they still got the order wrong: at least two items were left out, but by this time, I was already extremely late and frustrated trying to provide food for this business meeting, so I just let it go. On their website, you can't download a receipt (needed for auditing purposes), so I went to the restaurant to see if they could print a physical receipt (this is not an easy trek to make, by the way), and the attendant behind the counter called his manager/owner, and she straight up said "we can't do that." I told her my reasoning, that I needed it for auditing/reconciling transactions, I was told I would receive a call/text with the receipt (I left my contact information), and haven't heard anything since then. So, TLDR: food is pretty good, service and communication, not so good and confusing. Go physically into restaurant buy food/place your order for max results read more

Late night food means late night customer service. It's normally pretty quiet but can get pretty busy. Food is great and never have had a bad time. It was super late when I came in with my sister and the cashier had auto gratuity on us whenever we were paying out at the end. If you're adding it, don't ask us to tip kthx. Otherwise great food. read more

I ordered the Triborough Combo from Wava Halal Grill through Uber Eats with their Buy One, Get One Free deal. For just $16, I got two full platters--an incredible deal for the portion size and quality! The food was excellent. The falafel was super crispy on the outside and fresh inside--easily some of the best I've had. The rice was flavorful, and the whole platter was well-seasoned and delicious. Everything tasted fresh, and the quality was consistent. Service is always great--fast, efficient, and friendly. I've never had any issues, and they always deliver top-tier food. Highly recommend! 5 stars all the way. read more

WAVA HALAL GRILL - Triborough platter - Mediterranean Near Me - Dallas, Texas

This review is for take out. We ordered 2 mix platters, 2 shawarma wraps, 2 falafels, and a garden salad. Well, this started off quite bad. When we got the delivery, we were missing the 2 mixer platters and garden salad, so we're not sure if it's the restaurants fault or DoorDash delivery guy's fault. The shawarma wraps were okay. Not great and bad either. The tahini was disgusting. The hot sauce just smells and tastes like salsa. Disrespectful. I do think the price is decent for what it is though. If you don't have the tongue for Mediterranean food, you'd probably like it. read more

Went to the Greenville Avenue location last night and the food was SO GOOD! Everyone there was so friendly, and the food was well-seasoned, and prepared quickly. If you live in or visit the area, go grab a bite! You will not regret it! read more

Really nice food!...Loved the chicken over rice and the bakhlava...Must try! Will be going back there for sure... Love from California read more

I was in the mood for some really great Mediterranean food and after searching the area, we stumbled on Wava Halal Grill. Upon arrival, parking can be a beast. I have never experienced this before but in Dallas, there are lots of parking right next to the main road so backing out can be a dangerous experience especially since it's not a quiet back road either. But once you pass on that, it's a smooth sail from there. We ordered the Tri Borough Combination Platter and I think it's the best option in the menu if you want to try everything for $11. You get a lot of meat and veggies that will fill you up but you get to sample a little bit of everything. Everything about this was just so good. I'm going to have to try to find something like this back home. read more

Did not disappoint I ordered the chicken gyro wrap. So delicious I went back in line and ordered a chicken over rice plate. Great food, service and clean environment. Would definitely come back for more. read more

Spent 30 bucks for 2 plates tnite. Lamb beef combo platters. It look like some stewed meat. Could not even tell which was beef or lamb. I don't know if I came up too late but the portions are so little. Meat tastes and looks like dog food. Charge 20 dollars a plate and increase portions size and meat quality. Would not recommend read more

The food was great: well-seasoned, hot, and plentiful. The service was also very nice: they let you know how long it would be and thanked you for coming to see them. read more

The food was okay. Ordered the Meat Lover platter, and the chicken (the few pieces we received) was good and juicy. The beef kebab was dry and didn't seem fresh. The hummus was okay. Overall, the taste was plain. Also, they only have a few counters if you want to eat there. read more

Fantastic and delicious late night meal. Amazing option to have after midnight and after starved.

They changed their online ordering system and it's wonky. Used to always be dialed in and this most recent time they were unaware of the order. Food is solid most of the time. Consistency isn't 100% read more

I miss living close to wava, it's like the gem of upper Greenville. The place is tiny situated between a few shops and the service is fast but the food is BOMB. The food is always on point and fast, the tri burough with extra falafel is my go to but if I'm feeling healthy they have a hummus bowl that you can add meat to that is so flavorful. Their proprietary white sauce is a must and the red spicy sauce is a perfect kick. My fiance and I still make the drive out to Dallas to get this at least a few times a month, it's a must try. read more

This place was recommended to me a few times, so I finally decided to try it and ordered food for me and a friend. They must have stapled my receipt to the wrong bag, because not only did I not get any utensils or napkins, but what was inside wasn't my order. It was significantly less than what I ordered. When I attempted to reach out and have the situation corrected, I was basically told "oh well. You're out of luck." Instead of delicious shawarma and fries, I got chicken and lettuce in a soggy pita. Very disappointed. Won't be back. read more

WAVA HALAL GRILL - Combo Shawarma Platter is what I ordered. This is what I got. Twice. - Mediterranean Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Every day I've I come Dallas, I make sure that visit the Wava Halal grill. However, today our visit was very disappointing. Firstly, the food was horrible and quality has decreased tremendously. We loved this restaurant because the meat was always seasoned very well. The combo land and chicken swarmed platter. The lamb was dry, very thin, and tasteless. The chicken was small diced, dried pieces. The portions are smaller. Secondly, the customer service was horrible. The restaurant was empty, so we asked questions about the menu. Several items have been added since our last visit. We asked about the combo swarms, and was told it contained meat and we could add sauce. We asked what kind of sauce and he said Garlic and another sauce, unknown to him. He asked would like a side salad or Tabouleh Salad? We asked what a Tabouleh Salad? He said listen, I work the front, the cooks know what in it, and begin looking at his phone. We order the mixed salad, because we knew what that was. Our experience was so bad, I will not be going back. When we used to go, the owner was there, and happily welcomed each customer. To the owner the older guy that was working today, is definitely in the wrong position. read more

I'm basing this off of a take out meal. I have never ate inside the restaurant. I ordered the lamb/beef over rice. It came nice and hot, which was a surprise because Uber eats (standard priority) usually sucks.Anyway, I'm super happy I got to try the food while it was still hot! The meat was absolutely delicious, and so was the rice. Their white sauce was really delicious too. I accidentally ordered extra white sauce, and I'm glad. The smell do the food made me feel like I was eating on the street of NYC. The portions were also huge! I wanted to eat it all, but couldn't. I look forward to eat the left overs tomorrow, or sharing them with my husband! I originally was going to order from the Hala guys, but I am glad I didn't. This place ended up being so much better. read more

The food was amazing one best kabobs I've ever had! and the staff was super nice! If l could rate it six stars I would!

I wanted a gyro so bad and was disappointed my favorite Greek place in Bishop Arts had closed early. I found Wava on yelp, they stay open late and I headed there. Once inside a guy was watching tv on his phone. He didn't bother to look up or acknowledge me. I was confused as the first thing you see is a subway assembly table and my thought was I was suppose to start at the end of the table. Wrong!!! You order at the register. It would have been helpful if the guy looking at the phone would have acknowledged me and let me know I would place my order with him. I ordered a gyro, fries and lemonade. The gyro was just "okay". It was missing the robustness of flavor that I am used to getting from the gyro I get in Bishop Arts. (They are also missing great customer services by their owner operator) The lemonade is almost $4 and it tasted as if it came from a pre-mix instead of freshly squeezed. It was very sweet and the consistency of syrup poured over ice. The one person that gave great customer service was the tall guy who brought me my order. If it were not for him, I think I would have taken my order to go. Lackluster food, bad customer service. I most likely wont be back. read more

Was popping through the area and realized I needed to eat before I began chewing people's arms off. Arms never taste good, so thought I'd try this place since there was an open spot in front. First time in and noted not much of a seating area and realized as a few delivery drivers were there that this was more of a take out or delivery place. As I stood looking over the menu board, a voice from the back said she'd be out in a minute. So i had a good chance to review the board and the options at the counter in front of me. After closer to 3 minutes a woman appears from the back with orders for the delivery drivers and off they go. Then it was my turn. She helped me clumsily place an order to go (wasn't really sure of my options or really what I agreed to and in the back she went to do her magic, I hoped). The phone was kind of ringing off the hook while I waited and a couple of more delivery drivers showed up. Finally she came out and I paid for a chicken gyro salad. She added some sauces and off I went. The salad was good and the the sauces were good. Price was okay but the service was very poor. read more

I could eat the chicken kebab every day of the week I should just have my direct deposit go directly to them out of respect read more

I was craving some chicken over rice, and found this place while in the area. Let me just say -- this place gives Halal Guys a run for its money! I came around 5 PM, ordered the chicken gyros over rice to go, and the man at the front was like, "I'll have your order ready in 3 minutes." I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly it was ready, and when I drove back and ate it at home an hour later, everyone held up really well. The pita was fluffy, the chicken was piping hot and perfectly seasoned, and the rice and salad were solid. My only complaint is that they don't have a restroom for customers, but I got the vibe that this is a grab and go sort of establishment. Overall, great food and I'll be back next time I'm in the area. read more

Great late night spot! My wife & I both had the chicken shawarma & we loved it. Lots of flavor!

If you order chicken expect shrimp. If you try to return your shrimp for chicken expect to write a review. This place argued w/ me based off my order. It was wrong. When I returned the shrimp the claimed I ate it. Safe your time and order from Halal Guys read more

Absolutely delicious!!!! I am NOT a fan of the food here on Dallas.... But this place is AMAZING!!!

We love that wava stays open late. Great service and amazing food. I always get chicken shawarma and baba ganoush!

I enjoyed my wava chicken gyro with fresh fries. I was a bit hesitant because it was so empty and there wasn't lamb suggested as a protein choice but definitely would recommend this place. My friend enjoys the one in Texas, so I decided to try this one. It definitely did not disappoint. Parking sucks because it's on a Main Street but if you are able to grab a spot along the side of the building then drop in for a bite. Also the young man serving me was very polite and patient as I scanned the menu before I ordered. read more

This is by far my favorite halal spot in the area. The plate options are great and every one of them are juicy and in hearty portions. Definitely a must try if you're in the lower greenville area. read more

WAVA HALAL GRILL - a close up of a food item in a styrofoam container - Mediterranean Near Me - Dallas, Texas

This fills a hole in the Dallas food scene. I've been wishing for a late night gyro spot since moving here and this fits the bill: comes out quickly, and a great value for the portion sizes (my gyro platter plus hummus and pita made 3 meals for me). Pita was super fluffy and the meats were all excellent. read more

Little hole in the wall spot. Didn't take pics but this is my second time eating here. The tri borough is good if you wanna try 3 different meats. The white sauce and garlic sauce is pretty good. The hot sauce is good too. I'm really picky with sauces and this place actually has good sauce compared to many i have tried. The beef and chicken shawarma was okay. Wasn't my favorite. I think this rice was different from the other platter. I also ordered the beef gyro. It was stuffed with plenty of meat. I would probably ask for more lettuce and add feta cheese next time. I was a little sad bc they forgot my chickens and rice order but it's okay, it happens. Over all the food was good and people were nice. Parking isn't the best if you're there during busy hours. I would pre order and pick up. read more

The food is amazing & comes out quick! My favorite is the gyro platter and the pita bread is some of the best I've tried.

not for me I did not enjoy the food, but it's because I'm used to something different. I'm used to it being prepared different. I'm used to being served different and presented differently, but they have customers so you just might like it. You have to try these things you can't just go by one person's opinion anybody can say anything is what you think is most important. read more

This is now, without a doubt, my new addiction. I just came back from NYC over the Christmas holiday and of course I had to hit the Halal food truck! I love chicken over rice but i'm not pescatarian so I only eat seafood! I was delighted to find the ONLY Halal joint in town, who serves Shrimp over rice! When I tell you, this was THE BEST Shrimp over rice i've ever had! Whew! The amount of protein is unheard of - the container was filled to the rim with Shrimp! The flavors are all so on point! This was better than any street food I got in New York. I will for certain be back, over and over again! read more

Solid place for a spice of desi and ny style platter. It really depends on the location because I went to two seperate ones, one really felt like the street carts in downtown Manhattan and the other felt like A solid twist of Indian/pakistani w a touch of halal guys. I'd go again but I wouldn't say this is chicken and rice similar to Adels. Spoken from a former NJ/NY resident who has recently moved to the DFW area. read more

SCAM! This place SCAMS you out of your money! Facts: Chicken lettuce wraps $12.99 $3.49=$16.50 extra protein == 1 cup of product. 1 f*ing cup Chicken Gyro + extra protein $18.00 = 3 cups of product. Ok, reasonable. Don't believe me? Write me and ask for the video I took of me measuring the product and send you the copy of the receipt!! I'll send it to you. Called and asked for manager to talk about it. Was told, "Manager is not here. Manager will not speak to you." I asked for manager's name and when he/she was there. "Just come in and see if he's here." I asked again for his name. "Manager told us not to give out his name so you can't ask for him." I said I did not want to drive in to fix a problem they created. "Look, man. That's the price. If you don't like what you got, don't order it again. He's not going to change anything. You got what you got." Anyone that has to hide who they are as a manager knows they are crook! This is the reason 97% of all Dallas-area restaurants fail within the 1st year. This place will, too!!! So ...I got what I got. They get what they get. I'm nobody's victim. I know how to use my voice. This is 1 or 7 reviews I have now posted about this restaurant with this review copied to each one. Take my money once. F*ck off forever! SCAM!!! read more
