D'Yar - Mediterranean Near Me - Berkeley, California

This is a great option for casual food, if you're in the UC Berkeley area. It's located on Durant, which is full of restaurants and cheap eats (perfect for students!). D'Yar is a casual restaurant with a long menu full of different options, including veggie, chicken, lamb, and more. My friends and I walked over from the UC Berkeley campus and ordered chicken shawarma plates. The 2 ladies working were very friendly and fast. We ordered to go because we were not planning on staying at the restaurant for very long, but we all ended up finishing our chicken shawarma plates before leaving. Each plate came with pita, chicken, rice, hummus, salad, and dipping sauce. Everything was tasty and delicious! read more

" let's put it this way : one bite of their chicken shawarma warp you'll want to close your eyes just to savoir it properly. The flavors are that good.add to that a super friendly staff ,and you've got spot that's easy to love read more

I love D'Yar, I do not car what anybody says. This place is such a great deal for what you get and the flavors are fantastic! In super close proximity to the UC Berkeley campus, this place is a reliable spot for food whether for lunch or some late night eats. Service is always super quick which is a plus! The restaurant itself is small and is nestled on the side of Durant Ave. I love getting their chicken shawarma snack, falafel wraps, couscous with chicken, and plain 'ol hummus. Super good! The chicken shawarma snack is probably the best deal. So so cheap and very filling! Overall, love this spot and it has become one of my go-to spots around campus. Try it! read more

The beef and lamb were tasty and seasoned and paired well with the pita. The fries were average and a little thicker and oilier than I would prefer. The hummus was pretty bland, and the yogurt sauce was better. The service was quick, and the people at the counter were nice. read more

D'Yar - Beef & Lamb Gyro Plate - Mediterranean Near Me - Berkeley, California

I got a gyro from here in Snackpass, and when we came to pick it up, it was already ready! The place itself is sufficient and efficient, with nice workers. There is some indoor seating for anyone who wants to stay inside. We ate outside instead, and the gyro was very solid! For the price, it was expected. The flavor was decent and I liked the sauce. Overall, definitely not a bad place to get quick gyros in Berkeley! read more

Amazing food this place is the best super fresh ingredients and really tasty chicken the goat

Hands down the BEST Mediterranean food here in the Bay Area. Ive been to D'yar's for years now and sporadically in between times as well. The quality and portions never change. Its absolutely amazing how they've kept it just as delicious as the first time Ive had it. What absolutely shocked me too was the portion sizes still? Over the years restaurants cut back but man they give you such a hefty portion still today with a pile of lamb meat. This entire plate cost me $15 and its rare these days to get a good meal for under $30 in the Bay. Like everything in life, plan ahead. If you are remotely feeling hungry, order ahead or head out to the restaurant early. They will be swamped with doordash orders through the streets. We came around 11 when it first opened and got our food less than 10 mins of ordering. It was such a nice and peaceful meal. read more

Delicious and amazing food! Prepared fresh with such good flavors! I've been here three times in the past week and ordered the Mediterranean Plate each time. Wonderful service too! Highly recommend. read more

After 5 months since my last visit, this place is still on top! Their CHICKEN SHAWARMA was seasoned and roasted perfectly, the rice was fluffy, the bread was soft, their tzatziki and salad were fresh, and the price was still amazing for the portion. I recommend this spot to anyone searching for delicious Mediterranean food in the area!! I wish I could've taken a photo before I scarfed down my entire plate. read more

Not worth the wait, but great food and value. Great wraps and rice plates for a reasonable price. Service staff was polite but a bit dismissive. Waited 40-50 mins for our to-go order at a relatively calm hour. read more

Such a yummy shawarma! Meat is so juicy and the wrap is deliciously crisped, toum and pickles give it the perfect tanginess. Comes with good amount of fries as well- they're okay. read more

I had a chicken shwarma plate and loved it! Their salad was slightly soggy but other than that everything was great! Will be back!

I ordered on Snackpass since there was a 20% off for first order discount. I got a falafel deluxe wrap, which was ready pretty quickly after I ordered which was on Sunday around lunchtime. Although it didn't stand out as spectacular or unique, there was a decent amount of falafel and overall with the discount, the portion was good for the price. They are a solid choice for Mediterranean food if you are near UC Berkeley campus, it's right next door to the Durant food court. They don't have outdoor seating but you can walk to nearby places like the Durant food court or campus to sit down and eat outdoors. read more

Great food for the price! I ordered a wrap and my friend ordered a bowl, which both came out pretty quickly. There's only a small seating area because people usually order to-go, and there's no trash cans. Order through Snackpass to find discounts! read more

Really amazing food - one of my favorite spots in Berkeley. Everything I've tried here I've loved, and the people working here are always kind and helpful. read more

Ordered off of Snackpass on a Tuesday lunch for the first time and felt a bit disappointed. Overall, for the other options you could get in Berkeley, this spot is pretty low on my list since I was just a bit disappointed with the plate. Not that it was bad, just pretty simple/basic. They offer indoor dining now, and whip out orders pretty quickly, but apart from that, there food wasn't as spectacular as I'd hope. Got the chicken shawarma plate and the hummus felt a bit diluted in oil. There wasn't too much chicken either and was hoping for a bit more in the salad. read more

My first time here it's was around 11am so not very busy I was able to walk in and order immediately the staff were friendly although I would have appreciated them to be a bit more informative. The food came fairly quickly, the restaurant is small but is plenty of seating inside. I ordered a Chicken Kabob plate that came with rice, salad, & hummus. Quality of the food was great it was delicious my only complaint was that the chicken was a bit over cooked so some parts were hard to chew but overall this was a very satisfying meal. read more

This is my go to lunch spot near campus. Good food made by friendly people at a reasonable price that doesn't make you feel bloated. The veggies are always fresh and crunchy. There's limited seating but they have a few tables. Everything is kept clean which is reassuring. read more

Delicious falafels! I can't believe it took me almost 4 years to try this place, but I had heard that they had some of the better falafels around here. I decided to order a side of them as a snack in between classes, and they did not disappoint! It came with a side of tahini which was a great accompaniment. The falafels were perfectly crispy yet not too greasy, and the inside was really fluffy with great flavor. I also liked how they gave it on a little pile of salad. I would definitely go back to try more of their items! read more

Pretty disappointing experience, and I hope it was just a fluke and their food is normally better! My partner and I ordered from here through DoorDash around 7:30pm and our order arrived way later than anticipated because the dasher had to wait 30 minutes for our order, which was mostly consisted of cold/pre-prepared items. We ordered the Mediterranean plate (comes with hummus, baba ghanoush, salad, tabbouleh, 2 dolmas and 2 falafel), a 6-piece order of dolmas, and an additional side of baba ghanoush. We couldn't tell whether our plate came with pita, especially because it was nowhere on the menu and there was no way to order an additional side, which we wanted to do. We looked at photos online and confirmed that pita did at least come with the Mediterranean plate, and we couldn't tell whether our side of baba ghanoush would include any pita and there was no way to order more so we just kind of hoped they would give us some. When we got our food, we had 3 tiny triangles of pita (not even amounting to 1 whole piece of pita). The majority of the Mediterranean plate and the extra baba ghanoush was overpowered by salt. All other flavors and textures were completely overpowered by the over-saltedness of the food. It was borderline inedible (especially without pita to balance it). The two pieces of falafel actually a nice crispness that held up on delivery which is not always the case with delivery and were not the same salt-bomb that the rest of the plate was The domas weee actually pretty good--definitely the best part of the meal--but unfortunately we only received 5 dolmas in our 6-piece order which was disappointing. I will say their prices are pretty reasonable and it's possible the food experience might have been a fluke--maybe one person in the kitchen accidentally poured and entire container of salt over everything. The experience definitely wasn't worth the reasonable prices and the delivery fees, but If I'm in the area and hungry for dolmas and falafel, I would probably try them again just in case this was just a bad night for them. read more

My favorite lunch-to-go place by campus. The beef and lamb plate is always full of delicious food.

Ordered via Caviar. Both orders of fries not on receipt (despire confirming in app) or order. Ordered sandwich without tomatoes, the bag says no tomato, loaded with tomatoes. Sandwiches are cold, meat is tough, wrap is warm but but really tough. Driver took less than 10 minutes to arrive, not enough time for hot food to get literally cold. Def better, cheaper options in Oakland/Berkeley for quality and service. read more

Incredible place! I go there since 1995. Very fresh, tasty and super delicious. Highly recommended

The food here is decent. I've ordered the pita pocket and fries and the chicken sandwich and fries. However, it can be inconsistent in terms of what they have in stock. For instance, they've run out of pita pockets but have been able to serve me sandwiches with a similar texture. The sandwiches are also very oddly crafted. The shreddings of lettuce and tomatoes are all the way at the bottom but the meat is at the top. So the sandwiches are very imbalanced no matter what way you have them - no vegetables in most bites and no meat in other bites. I also don't like that many times I've ordered here they serve my food to me after others coming in behind me. It can get frustrating at the lack of consistency, order, and seating (since the place is a bit cramped), but the food is pretty good if you can be okay with the other pitfalls of this place. read more

Super hearty meal and great for the price too! I got the chicken plate and loved everything on it. The chicken was well seasoned, fries were crispy, and bread was warm. There was a good amount of hummus too. The salad was a tad soggy but still good. read more

Love the chicken shawarma salad. A healthy, filling, and fresh meal that I like to order when I cannot make dinner. Light and bright house dressing made with great EVOO. Friendly service at counter. Would be even better if dine-in area were cleaner, but it's an old building. read more

The food was amazing we had the chicken shawarma plate and chicken shawarma wrap and they were both beyond our expectations Thank you read more

Dee-lish-us!! Terrific food and quickly prepared. We had the med plate, a falafel and avocado wrap, the lamb plate and chicken shawarma. All were tasty, hot and flavorful. Nice staff too. read more

I was physically blocked and threatened for attempting to use the bathroom without ordering first. I was forced to let someone behind me in line use the bathroom first so I left after a very confrontational exchange. Spoiled what was otherwise a spectator evening celebrating with friends. read more

I've walked by D'yar many times during undergrad but never actually stepped in since there were cheaper options around the Durant/Telegraph area. Finally got the chance to visit and I ordered a falafel wrap and chicken shawarma platter for takeout - should have checked my order more carefully since a couple things were missing. The falafel wrap didn't come with any sauce and was really dry. The platter at least had the yogurt sauce, salad, pilaf, and hummus to keep it from being too dry, but it was also missing the hot sauce we ordered. Overall, food was alright, but there's a couple other Mediterranean options in the area worth visiting first. read more

Came here on a whim after finishing a hike near Inspiration Point and happy that we did lamb and beef gyro platter: can choose either fries or rice as a side. They're quite generous with the amount of meat served and can easily be shared if you're not too hungry. Meat was cooked well and on the crispier side. Also ordered the falafels (average) with a side of babaganoush (above average). Overall, would recommend if you are looking for a solid Mediterranean spot. read more

Some of the best Mediterranean food I've had! It was empty when we went in around 1pm, but it smelled delicious and the prices were reasonable so we decided to try it. I'm glad we did- the salad was very fresh, chicken was perfectly cooked, and the portion sizes were great. Came out within 5 minutes too! I wasn't that big of a fan of the rice, next time I'll go with the fries. Overall though, great flavors and great bang for your buck! read more
