Came to have dinner with a friend on a Thursday night - didn't expect this place to also have hookah. Had to call over the server to order after chatting for a bit, so I appreciated that it wasn't pushy in terms of needing to get the patrons to order food quickly. The waiters were all very attentive and friendly. We ordered an appetizer that came with kibbeh, fried cheese wrapped in an eggroll wrapper, and falafel. I'm not usually a falafel person, but this one changed me. The kibbeh and the fried cheese was incredible as well!! As for the main dish, I got the shish kabob combo and was served a hefty portion - honestly enough for 2 people. The rice was so fluffy and the shish was moist and cooked wonderfully! Total was around $28 with taxes excluding tip - so quite hefty of a price tag but really delicious food worth coming back for. read more

Dalia Mediterranean Grill & Cafe - Beef Shish Kebab - Mediterranean Near Me - Katy, Texas

Beef shawarma - 8/10 - Flavorful and beef was juicy, but a bit too chewy Chicken shawarma - 8.5/10 - A bit salty but overall tasty Shahshuka - 8/10 - Tasty and fresh but could use more flavor Mfarrakeh - 6.5/10 - Eggs were fluffy but lacked flavor Beef shish - 8.5/10 - Meat was cooked really well and was juicy, but could use more flavor Tried out Dalia for their Mediterranean brunch and we liked the food but most of the dishes just needed more seasoning/flavor. My favorite item was probably the beef shish kabob. Overall a good spot for Mediterranean food if you're in the area! read more

I'll begin with stating the food was delicious. We had the beef kabob plate with an appetizer of falafel. Great flavors as every part of the dish just paired very well. Caught off guard by paying for my child's plate on a Wednesday while there's a giant sign on the restaurant that says kids eat for free during, but wasn't true. Clearly false advertisement. Service lady said "that's no longer true, I dunno...they haven't taken it down". Food was good but I would not recommend a place that has false advertisement on display. read more

I enjoyed myself on the patio of this Middle Eastern dining establishment on a Saturday evening. We had reservations and a very large party, but the restaurant was kind enough to accommodate us and at the same time provided impeccable service and delicious food. I had hummus and kibbi both of which were absolutely wonderful and I'm not sure if they make their own pita bread or purchase it but in any case, it was wonderful as well. Lastly, throughout the meal, I had a Turkish coffee, which was probably one of the best Turkish coffees I have ever had. It was smooth, not better and perfectly brewed. There is no question in my mind that I will return to this restaurant. It is good enough to repeat the experience but five stars is truthfully, an understatement at least in my experience on a very, very busy night and enjoyable experience. read more

1 Star - Discriminatory, Dishonest, and Unwelcoming Experience I found Dalia Mediterranean Grill & Cafe when I googled "Kunafa near me." I called ahead -- the first man said they had it, then when I called back a lady confirmed they did but said it would take 25 minutes because they were busy. I agreed to wait. When I arrived, the staff looked at me but didn't greet or approach, so I said "table for one." I ordered tea while I waited for my to-go Kunafa. The waiter asked if I spoke Arabic (which was an odd question for a paying customer), and when I said no, he seemed dismissive. A few minutes later, another employee brought out two to-go containers of Kunafa and placed them on the table -- no bag, no utensils. He then asked if I needed a bag and utensils; I said yes, and instead of bagging it for me, he simply handed me the empty bag in my hand. That told me everything I needed to know about the level of service here. When I asked for the check, the waiter entered something into his handheld device and told me the total was over $28 -- which immediately raised a red flag since online the Kunafa is listed at $7.99. When I questioned the price, he went to get a lady who came over with an attitude and said, "It's $11.99 now, it's not on the menu anymore." Then she tried to negotiate the price, saying, "The best I can do is $9.99." Moments later, she snatched the containers and said, "You don't have to take it if you don't want -- I told you we didn't have any more, this is what we had left over." That confirmed it -- they were trying to sell me something old, and overcharge me for it. I told her no thank you and left. I've never felt so discriminated against in a restaurant. If you're not Arabic, prepare to be treated differently here. The price was never the issue -- I love good food and have no problem paying for it. But the lack of respect, honesty, and basic customer service was beyond insulting. I'll gladly keep driving to Golden Roastery for FRESH Kunafa and respectful service. This review has nothing to do with ethnicity -- it's about how poorly this staff treats customers who aren't "one of them." Do NOT recommend. read more

EVERYTHING about this restaurant is FIRST CLASS!!! The service was amazing and the food was EXEMPLARY! We were in town after getting off a cruise for our 25th wedding anniversary and we went here to have dinner and one of the owners Layla came out to give us suggestions and to introduce herself to us and through the conversation she learned it was our Anniversary so at the end of our dinner she brought out a beautiful dessert decorated with Happy 25th Wedding Anniversary. Go support this family owned business that has great food. read more

I went to Dalia's a couple of months ago and had a wonderful experience. The food was amazing and service was top notch. Unfortunately, I didn't have a great experience my second time around with family of three. Pros: Food. Delicious, great portions. Ambiance. It's probably the best looking restaurant I've seen in Katy. Cons: Service. For a Saturday night, the restaurant had a decent amount of customers with plenty of waitstaff. In our experience, we felt we were being rushed to hurry and order. Once we ordered, one family member asked for a certain food not to be added to her plate and that food ended up on her plate. It took waitstaff forever to come and ask if we needed anything else and a couple of times, we asked other staff for help (refills). One section of the restaurant was getting rapid service from the waitstaff than the section we were sitting at (we were a table of three). The waitstaff was upfront chatting with each other as our section was not really being attentive to. That was our only complaint about the restaurant. read more

Food was all right but we only saw our server three times and we were here for two hours we also sat outside and love the surrounding area, but it was just service that was bad. Had to wait 20 minutes for a couple of napkins. read more

First time here with my boyfriend. Absolutely delicious. Very beautiful as well!! While we were eating we found little pieces of metal wire in his food, we made the staff aware of the situation and they were very apologetic and offered us new plates. Aside from that our experience was great. (I am very picky but the food was soooo good) read more

I've been wanting to try out this place for a while! Overall, great interior and exterior decor and seating, very clean restaurant in all terms, and good food if you focus on appetizers over entrees. What I would get next time: steak hummus and falafel entree (might consider trying beef shawarma over rice too). Full review: Let's start with the good stuff... the hummus with steak is a great appetizer to share or whole meal honestly. I love the fresh pita with most of the orders, the bread was puffy and steaming hot when it came out. The trio appetizer is not worth it but it did allow me to try the falafel, which were really good, so I definitely recommend trying the falafel platter. The last good thing in food for me was the yellow rice that came with some platters, outstanding rice! Now for the not so good parts... the mixed grill kabab and tikka were average at best, the kibbe needed salt, and the gyro wrap was like a homemade sandwich with not very flavorful gyro. The service was great at first, but then we were almost completely ignored for like 40 mins because they were setting up the tables outside for Saturday night. read more

Three of us stumbled across this gem after a work function ran late and most places were closed. The food was delicious and the server was friendly and patient with us. They have hookah and we had lots of questions. Someone a few tables away had one; it smelled so good but wasn't cloying or obnoxious and didn't spoil our enjoyment of the food. There were some people playing dominoes in a side room and overall it was just a welcoming place. The ambiance is bright and open with greenery and floral accents. It seems a little fancy/upscale at first but really it is a relaxed and welcoming place for dining or relaxing. We really loved it! read more

Brand new interior with a new patio, but uncovered. We loved the hummus and fresh hot pita!! I thought the amount of oil in the middle was great and I could've had more, not an overkill to me at all like one of the other reviews said. Portion size is great! I ate 1/2 my wrap, husband devoured his entirely. Our waiter had just moved here in February and was very personable and accommodating. We will be back to try the menu and use the patio come fall. Really hoping that they will introduce a variety of all the appetizers on one dish. read more

We were assigned a table right after walking in, but nobody came back to check on us.

Waiters passed by and checked on the tables around us while we were being ignored. read more

Tried this place for lunch on a whim on July 4th because my normal Mediterranean go-to (Fadi's) was closed. I was super impressed. The service was great, the waitress was attentive and explained in detail the dishes we had questions about. We both ended up going with the gyro plate which was amazing. The sauce they put on the veggies was out of this world. I could've eaten a bucket of just those. The hummus was fantastic, tzatziki sauce on point and my two small children really enjoyed the kids chicken shwarma. I will definitely be back! read more

Plenty of parking. Once you walk in there is a large seating space that had a live dj and belly dancer. During this time the music is very loud so we decided to sit outside. The outside seating was lovely. Indoors was party for sure. People could get up and dance if they wanted a bit or just sit and enjoy the music. Our waitress was really good. Attentive and gave good suggestions. The cauliflower was great but a little oily. I'd suggest not trying the cilantro jalapeño hummus... it just didn't hit. The beef swarms was very nice especially the baba ganoush! But the best part was the pistachio cheesecake. I loved it. It's a must try (honestly it's what made this 5 stars). read more

I've been here twice for dinner, and it was pretty solid both times. I really enjoy their hummus a lot. It's not overly spiced with cumin, or heavy on the tahini, but balanced just right. They also put chopped garlic on top, which I really appreciate. The bread they serve it with is pretty fantastic--soft and pillowy. I've had manouche bil jibweh (basically cheesy bread) which was delicious, and on my most recent visit I had the beef shawarma wrap. It was tender and had good flavor. The prices are on the higher end for Mediterranean food, but the portions are great and so is the service. read more

Listen, I'm writing this 2 days afterwards and I can still taste the food (in a good way lol)! The service was amazing! Shout out to Rafael! He knew everything and made the best recommendations for someone who had never been there! Everything we got was spectacular! I was shocked with the falafel! Very good and light! The only two negatives, and they were not big at all, was the smokiness of the place with everyone smoking hookah. I wish they had a door cracked or a air system that sucked it all up. It was kinda of just standing there. But wasn't bad at all. The second issue we had was that one of our sides came out I've cold, but Rafael mended that extremely quickly! Overall, we are already ready to come back and experience more of the ambiance and food here! 9/10 recommend!!! read more

Raise your hand if you love Turkish coffee! A special thank you to Tarator Mediterranean Grill for an amazing lunch. Our waiter, Javi was pure joy and a delight to help guide us on our first visit. My husband and I stayed off with the Classic Hummus and Cilantro Fried Potatoes. The pita bread served to us was piping hot and served almost immediately. We dined on the Greek Salad, Tabbouleh, as well as the lunch item, Chicken Shawarma. We could not finish our meal and had plenty for dinner. Tarator has excellent service, a clean, open space, and incredible Mediterranean cuisine. We will definitely be returning soon! read more

This is definitely the best Mediterranean Place in town. I was very impressed with everything they have: - Place: the place is so nice. They put so much effort into the decor, chairs, and tables. The chairs are so comfortable to sit on and smoke hookah. Their patio is such a vibe with nice seating - Service: They have one of the best services I've ever been to. Badr took very good care of us. I definitely recommend Badr if you ever go to the place - Food: their food is so tasty. Their chicken is juicy and good. Their beef kabob are really good. Hummus is delicious. It is very rare to find a place that does good tabouli and this place does is amazing. (check pictures) - Cleanliness: the place is so clean. They take good care of the place. Even their restrooms smell nice and clean - Price: the prices are so fair because of their portions and quality of their food. I am so glad this place opened in Katy we were missing out on good food and place to chill and smoke hookah. I don't have to drive 45 minutes anymore to go to Houston. BEST PLACE. I definitely recommend it. ALWAYS ALWAYS ask for Badr. read more

The place is nice. Our waiter was very friendly, but this place lets people smoke shisha inside and even though the smoke may not smell like cigarettes or cigars it's still smoke and tobacco so this may not be for everyone. They should keep smoking for their outdoors space. I don't remember the food much so it's average. read more

This is our second time here and I must say it was better than our first!!! The first time the plate didn't come with any side so we had to get the tabouli as an appetizer which was expensive because the dish was $20 plus $8 tabouli. This second time we came back I think they changed the menu and it came with the tabouli and hummus for the price of $22 with the beef sharmwa. Our server was great I think he his name was Javier such great humor and funny. If you love garlic don't forget the garlic dip it's a staple! Sorry I don't have a better photo of the food. read more

We were greeted by host and no wait on Saturday night. Seated immediately. We started with hummus and pita. Pita was hot and fluffy. Amazing pita!! The hummus was very good more on the garlicky side but good. Portion was enough for 3-4 people. We also ordered the fried kibbi and it came with tahini dipping sauce but I prefer mine with hummus. Kibbi was good, although it did not have any kind of nut in the center. Usually it has meat mixture with pine nuts. Main dish was grilled chicken with rice, 1/2 grilled tomato and 1/4 grilled onion. Also came with side of garlic sauce that was really good. Service was great, place was clean and food was good. I would highly return to try something new and highly recommend if you haven't tried read more
