I can't say enough good things about zizikis. We've always enjoyed the food but we started going here regularly as new parents because of the great patio and we could bring our baby with us without feeling like we were risking his safety or bothering other patrons - he loves the fountain! They've always been so accepting of us poor new parents who just need a night out sometimes. Even if they've been slammed and service is a little off, they always acknowledge and make up for it. My husband usually gets the mahi and I love their salads and lamb souvlaki, as well as the calamari and artichoke hummus. For a while I had to go dairy free and they were SO accommodating where many other restaurants had failed. The basil mint vinaigrette is amazing and I've tried to recreate at home many times and failed (hopefully they'll share the recipe one day). I don't understand the bad review on the potatoes - they're always crispy and delicious. I make sure to get a small order if I get a salad! read more

We had dinner here in December, and overall had a good experience. We did not have a reservation, but were able to be seated on the patio. There was a violinist on the patio on a Friday evening, and we were extremely impressed with the quality and ambiance. The service was timely and friendly, and we ordered cocktails and beer. The cocktails were martinis, but fairly sweet compared to typical martinis we've had elsewhere (not enough to deter us from returning!). The food was great flavors, and we were happy and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Plan to return to this spot when the weather is good to sit on the patio again! read more

Service is amazing! Food has always been great! We sit on the patio when Texas allows and super enjoy our experience every time!!

Amazing service! Went for the brunch, which was $35 pp and you definitely get your money's worth! The food was amazing, and the salmon was phenomenal. The chocolate cake was so moist and we learned it was soaked with kalhua and rum. Miguel was super nice and attentive. Would definitely come here again! read more

This is my first review and I wouldn't even give this place a 1 star. In town for work and came with friends because it was highly recommended. Called ahead because we were going to be coming in around 10. Was told they closed at 11 and it wouldn't be a problem. Showed up at 10 and was told they closed a little while ago because "they didn't have customers". WORD. FOR. WORD. Walked across to the Cafe Madrid and got amazing food and service. read more

Ziziki's - Greek Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I've been here a handful of times over the course of the last five years and I must say the food is always fresh, cooked to perfection, and consistently delicious. My favorite things to order are the salmon souvlakis (kebabs), the lamb zikiki salad, and sometimes the calamari if I'm sharing! The service is always spot on, perfect for lunch, and even a fitting romantic place if you want to take a date here. If you want some of the best Mediterranean food in Dallas come to Ziziki's! read more

This place is so delicious! Whenever I have visitors from out of town I love taking people here. The food is always so good. It is a little bit more expensive and the place is a bit small, but still great. read more

Worst service. We waited 2 hours and they never brought all our items. We explained the issue to the manager and he didn't seem to care at all. Waited another 20 mins for our check. Food is sub par at best. read more

I've always like Ziziki's, but mainly due to the location and service and....the idea of it. I've had better Greek food at better prices. But the wine selection is better than most of the other Greek places I know, and the place is sleek and sexy. I had the souvlaki platter with the calamari for an appetizer and the baklava ice cream cake dessert. The dessert was really good--although I've never met a plain (that word should never be used as an adjective to describe such divine treat) baklava I didn't like. Due to the ample nutmeg in the pastry, and the creamy ice cream, the dessert was oddly reminiscent of egg nog. Of which I am a fan! The calamari was nicely fried and I liked the two sauces, but the serving size was small...and calamari isn't exactly a costly seafood so.... My souvlaki was underwhelming. I would have liked to see more vegetables. The pita/naan bread was soft and warm and thick, but other than the generous chicken and red onions atop, it was empty. It begged for some tomatoes, cucumbers, and other Greek salad fare---and please--throw some feta on that thing! read more

Came here for lunch. Delicious! Will come back Ziziki bread is delicous. And the Ziziki sauce is grewt!!! Lamb skewers are sooo good. The potatoes are so very good at crisp on outside and soft on inside with good seasoning balance. The lamb is cooked perfectly at medium rare. Price is good. As well as service and ambiance. Beware : $3 charge if u decide to split plates. read more

Ziziki's uptown consistently has great food and superb service (from staff who have worked there for years). It is an ideal place for outdoor dining on nice evenings and the brunch won't disappoint, even if they discontinue the buffet style. Come hungry as their portions are generous. Takeout service during covid-19 has been excellent. It is a casual, intimate place that feels like a neighborhood hangout. read more

Amazing food, best Greek I've had!! Brunch is always good, but the dinner portions are huge, bursting with flavor, and the drinks were very good! That patio is a very nice place, too! We loved it. read more

Came here to celebrate an SMU graduation. The staff was delightful to work with--as this was a rescheduled party from May's original graduation date. Even with a smaller party, the staff still accommodated our group in the private dining room, which was great since we had 2, 2 year olds with us. Service was wonderful and the food was excellent. read more

Very good food. I wasn't a fan of the sauce the filet was served in , but others may love the taste- Despite the sauce, the filet was cooked to perfection and tasted amazing on it's own. Shrimp salad was phenomenal and the souvlakis were fabulous. The Ziziki bread is an absolute MUST HAVE. Service was impeccable, especially on such a busy night (NYE). Drinks were a little too heavy handed, but overall a great dinner! read more

Valerie was amazing!!!!! my friends and I had the best brunch ever. the food was delicious and we definitely indulged in the bottomless mimosas. we were celebrating a special friend and Valerie helped us make it a day we won't forget! we cannot wait to go back! read more

We had a disappointing evening last night after a long hiatus due to Covid. We bragged to our friends who joined us about this restaurant as they had never been. Our food arrived cold. Portions were much smaller than in previous years. Our second round of drinks showed up well after our food was consumed. And most annoying was the parade of college-aged restaurant guests who went back-and-forth to the restroom, lining up, and passing by our table all evening. We raised our issues to the manager and most disappointing was his lack of empathy and accommodation for the inconveniences we experienced. With no concern about the guest experience and the quality of the food, we'll think twice about returning. read more

We had dinner on the patio and the food was a real disappointment. We have eaten there many times and really enjoy the especially the roasted potatoes which I have always thought were the best in town. But not last night. I had the shrimp souvlaki with the roasted potatoes. The shrimp came on skewers. It was very difficult to remove them from the skewers and the shrimp was just so so. Nothing special. Usually the souvlaki comes with cucumbers and a yogurt sauce but not last night. My most favorite roasted potatoes were also a real letdown. They were overdone and not at all tasty like they usually are. The restaurant was very busy which might be their excuse but I won't be rushing back to dine there any time soon. read more

Loved the outdoor seatings! The food are delicious and service is excellent even when they are super busy! read more

We have gone Ziziki's for brunch two of the last three weekends. The food is absolutely amazing. The menu is unique and expansive and you can sample a little bit of everything you desire. It also includes unlimited mimosas and champagne. The service is exceptional, two weeks ago Roberto waited on us and yesterday Karen. They checked on this continually to make sure we had everything we needed. Mark, the manager, visited our table several times on both occasions. This will be our go-to place for brunch from now on. Give it a try, you'll be glad you did. read more

My favorite place to eat these days!! Very yummy Greek food. Brunch is awesome, too. Mousaka and baklava are awesome for brunch. Try the paella Greek style! Yummy. read more

Ziziki's - Greek Paella. Mmmmmm! - Greek Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Love the food and vibe here. I have gone back three times now and have not been disappointed. Recommend the charcuterie platter and souvlaki. Nice selection of specialty cocktails too. Service is friendly. Is now my go to place when visiting Dallas. read more

My wife and I ate at Ziziki's on Travis today for the first time. We were going to Dallas to shop and have lunch and we looked at Yelp and found Ziziki's and decided to give it a try. We were both very impressed by both the quality and taste of our food and the friendly service we received from our server. My wife had the salmon with couscous and asparagus. I had the shrimp on a pita with a delicious sauce and fresh vegetables (including some incredible pickled red onions) accompanied by some fantastic roasted potatoes (which I told the server were really great and she told me the basic way they are cooked). We both enjoyed the casual atmosphere and delicious food and will return when we are in Dallas again. read more

This place is INCREDIBLE!! The best Greek food and the bottomless mimosas are great. I recommend this place to anyone and everyone (of age)!! read more

I had a Lamb Gyro! It was the best I ever had! Literally amazing! I'll be back once a week at least!

We spent a couple of weeks in Spain a few years back and learned how to make authentic Spanish paella. Which brings me to my review of Ziziki's. We love Spanish paella so much that I couldn't help but gravitate to Ziziki's Greek Paella. My husband cautioned me against trying it because he said we could only end up being disappointed that it isn't a "tradition" paella. Boy was he WRONG! He ordered his standard/safe Lamb Gyro and seemed satisfied until I couldn't stop raving about the Greek paella, suddenly his gyro wasn't as good as it used to be. :-) We ended up adding his shaved lamb gyro meat into my paella and like the good spouse I am- I pretended to not be able to eat it all by myself and he would just have to share it with me because paella doesn't reheat well. ;-) If you get the chance to try the Greek Paella, do it! I did miss the crispy burnt bits like a traditional Spanish paella has but not so much that I wouldn't order it again every time I return. BTW-I hate peas and it has peas in it but they took on the taste of the Greek seasoning and actually tasted really good! read more

Never had a more attentive, funny, and helpful waiter. I highly recommend the lamb chops. The food is delicious. We will be coming back again soon! read more

The Cabernet Grill was recommended to us by a friend. The food was excellent. The waiter was very knowledgeable about the food . Will definitely return and recommend. read more

Everything is great. Atmosphere is nice and waiters provide great service. I'm just used to having bigger portions from my go to places in Houston and SoCal. At least a complementary side salad with the dish would've helped a bit. Other than the food portion. This place is a solid four stars. read more

We decided to stop by after walking the Katy Trail today and the staff was more than accommodating to our group and seemingly endless requests. All of the food was fantastic! Will for sure be back soon. read more

We had dinner at Ziziki's on Travis and they did not follow the guidelines of 50% occupancy. When we arrived, I expressed our concern about being seated in an area with too many people. The hostess was very dismissive and said the restaurant is following all COVID related guidelines. We were seated in a dining area with approximately 5 tables. At the time we were seated there was another table of 4 people in the same room. By the end of our meal every table in the room was full. I called the restaurant the next day and asked to speak with the manager but I was told he want in. I left a message but didn't receive a call back. Called again the next day, same story. I've reported the restaurant to the City of Dallas for COVID related occupancy violations. Thankfully I snapped a few pics. Food is mediocre at best. I do not recommend this restaurant. We will not return. read more

Waiters and staff were wearing masks. Our waiter and the staff working continuously were accommodating and polite. The food here is simply delicious. Full of flavor. They do not skimp out on the champagne or mimosas! It's a good time and worth every penny there. We did place a reservation prior so that helped with seating. read more

My family and j went to Ziziki's for dinner for the first time this week. It was FANTASTIC! I got their salmon salad that comes with a very delicious Ziziki dressing. My parents got the souvlaki with chicken and they were very pleased. Our waitress Karen was very kind and attentive. She noticed no one ordered lamb and we let her know we aren't fans of lamb and it's flavor. She said their lamb was the best she's ever had. She brought us a small sample and let me tell you she did NOT disappoint! The lamb was OUTSTANDING! I've never thought I would ever enjoy lamb. I would definitely recommend to eat here and please get some lamb! read more

I dine-in at Ziziki's every few months and have always had a pleasant meal! However, I ordered the calamari and the "leg of lamb special" to-go and was sadly disappointed! The calamari was cold and chewy. There was probably only 8 pieces total. The leg of lamb was supposed to be cooked medium and seemed extremely well done, and they didn't put any of the sauces on the side so the pita was very soggy - which figures because when I went to pick it up it was sitting on the bar with not one server in sight. $17.50 for this soggy, overcooked pita? Food was still flavorful and their tzikiki sauce is amazing! But I won't be ordering to-go again.. read more

So this place is been here for years and I don't go here enough. Last time was over five years ago. There is a reason they've lasted so long! The vibe is Greek but grab a patio table on a nice day and you're good. We got sat in the private room since our party was larger. The food - order pallella - Italian lasagna - (sorry don't remember the names) - lamb lollipops - even the side ziziki salad is exceptional. Oh Greek platter is great too!!! I don't think u can go wrong. I'm dreaming about the ziziki salad w lamb next time. Drinks are very strong and worth going for!! read more

Sunday brunch was awesome! The Greek twist was different and excellent. Small place but it adds to the ambiance of the location.

The food was good but overpriced for dinner and the portions. We were there with a large table and the service was alright.

Food was horrible! The salad was not dressed and there was a container on the side that seemed more like a sauce for the lamb chops...not entirely sure the purpose...it was certainly not the light and refreshing dressing I am accustomed to for a Greek salad. The lamb chops were ok at best and very scant of edible meat. The fat was poorly rendered and each chop had only a bite or two of meat. Way overpriced for the portion. Sides were bland and poorly seasoned. I will say however that the baklava cake was to die for and I will be returning to this restaurant for that amazing cake after I have eaten my meal elsewhere. read more

Great food and service! Walked in on a hot day for lunch with a large party of 9 and they opened an extra room for us and were very accommodating. Kids loved the food and we loved the service! read more

Had dinner here last night with my girlfriend and it was amazing. Atmosphere was very quaint and romantic, service was very attentive and the food was delicious. We ordered the Trio dip and fried goat cheese which was delicious but not too filling. She ordered the Ziziki Platter and I ordered a summertime special of the Lamb roasted pepper. For dessert we had the ice cream baklava cake and it was a great finishing touch. 5 for 5 in terms of dishes we order and hit the spot. Will be coming back to try other things on the menu again for sure! read more

Love this place, reasonably priced and the food is top notch! If you walk around the building you can even watch some of the chefs in action
