    Renovating, but why so dirty at the tables?
    Kevin F.

    My coworker and I like to find places open late and Cedar Geill came up. I had visited before several years ago at a previous location. I wasn't aware on this visit that they had moved until I got there. The sign says La Mirage Cafe, so I called to confirm I was in the right location. The friendly voice assured me we were and that they were open. When we walked in we were greeted by a lady who let us know she only spoke Spanish. So we had to try to keep our order simple and uncustomized. For an appetizer, I ordered a fried ball of dough with ground beef inside...keffe or something like that. I didn't care for it, but that doesn't affect my ratings since I didn't really know what to expect. Difference in taste and all that. I also ordered a chicken kebab wrap which was very good. My coworker seemed to enjoy her food (hummus and something else I don't remember). All in all, the reason for the low score was not for the food, but because I think they need signage (even temporary) to let the public know who/where they are, someone who speaks English enough to take a full order, and cleanliness (see picture). Also, we weren't checked on hardly at all and we didn't know whether to pay at the table or at the register so we waited quite a while to get someone's attention to take our money. I would like to try back in a few months when they're hopefully done renovating.

    Lamb shish kabob plate.
    Erika F.

    I got the lamb shish kebab plate. The meat was burnt, rubbery and so salty it was almost inedible, even after drowning it in the garlic sauce. The rice was alright. The Mediterranean salad did not have any dressing on it so it was bland. The best part is the dish was the dolmas and I'm pretty sure they were store bought.

    Finally got to try. Unfortunately I had to Uber it. I feel by the time I get the food it takes away a little from the quality. Still very good. Got the mixed gyro and it was good. The rice was great. I added a chicken noodle soup thinking eh, it will be basic. The chicken noodle soup was the star. Not to take away from everything else but it just stood out. It was really really good. Definitely try this place and don't forget the soup. You won't be disappointed. Thanks y'all.

    Their "chicken kabob"
    Stephanie V.

    SO DISAPPOINTED! We saw this place on Instagram on the @bestfoodsanantonio so we decided to give it a try. We ordered takeout and went inside to pick up and NONE of the employees were wearing masks! This is a time where it's mandatory so this was upsetting to see. Then we get home and open our takeout containers and instant disappointment. We barely got any chicken!! My plate had so much cold rice and only 6-7 pieces of chicken! It was so bland and dry, I had to drown it in the hummus. And then not to mention the bread tasted old. I am so upset we wasted our gas and money to come here for this

    Gyro
    Christina D.

    Disappointed. 4 thin slices of meat on a gyro. Couldn't even taste the meat. Also super confusing to find this place. It's cedar grill online, but outside it's listed as the mirage.. or something like that. There is an actually "cedar grill" up the road, but it's a Pakistan restaurant- not cedar grill. Will likely never be returning.

    Mixed grill plate
    Stefany V.

    Driving by, I never would have expected the kitchen to turn out Mediterranean dishes based on the lodge-style exterior. Menu was a pleasant surprise of sandwiches, soups, kabobs, and apps. It's unclear whether there is table service or if you are supposed to walk up and order (which I did), as there is no posted menu and you seem to have to return to the counter to pay (rather than paying as you order). Bit of an unusual setup. Opted for the mixed grill plate (three different types of kabob with rice, salad, and hummus for $15), with a minor substitution (sub additional salad for the rice). Order took 20 minutes and I didn't get rice or additional salad. The steak kabobs were best, the other two were extremely dry, especially the chicken. Hummus lacked flavor, but I liked how the salad included bell peppers. Long story short, there are better options in town. Staff needs to try harder. Service was limited, other patrons had to get up repeatedly to get additional items (takeout boxes, silverware) as staff did not come out to check on tables.

    Lentil Soup instead of  fries.

If it wasn't so hot and humid, it would have been nice sitting outside. I would have preferred to sit inside during the summer. Except when we went, it was already early Friday evening, and most of the indoor seating at the bars and tables were taken. I would highly recommend this Mediterranean restaurant to anyone :D !

I also had the spicy passionfruit mezcal cocktail (The Prophet), which was excellent. The service was friendly and welcoming from everyone we interacted with, and the staff even called us right away when we accidentally left something at our table. Bonus points for easy free street parking nearby and a great location for walking around the Pearl before dinner. Great food, great value, and we'll definitely be back.

From…read morethe moment you walk in, the space does something to you -- warm lighting, tufted banquettes, burgundy velvet chairs with gold legs, and a ceiling panel with intricate geometric lattice work straight out of a Moroccan riad. It doesn't feel like a strip mall restaurant. It feels intentional. The pastry case alone deserves its own review. Piped butter cookies, rose-dotted squares dusted with cardamom, delicate filled rolls -- it's the kind of display that makes you order dessert before you've even sat down. And then the food. The chicken shawarma bowl is not playing around -- seasoned chicken, kalamata olives, crumbled feta, creamy garlic sauce over a bed of greens, finished with cracked pepper. Every bite is layered and bold. The kind of meal that makes you pause mid-fork and just appreciate it. What sets Tripoli's apart isn't just the food or the ambiance. It's that the whole experience feels curated. Like someone who actually loves this culture built this place and meant every single detail. San Antonio has been sleeping on this gem. Wake up!!

Food was really good, we both got bowls and took 1/2 home. Good flavor to the food and the pita bread is nothing special, just pita bread but still good, it comes with 4 quarters.

We also got dessert to go and the portion is small but hopefully flavor makes up for size. Over all I would return to try other plates.
