I love many Mediterranean foods and I've had many different versions of falafel. I've even made my own many times. But this falafel was the best I've ever had! I usually don't care for tahini with falafel, but their tahini was extremely tasty!! I would definitely go again!! read more

This place is great! I think you're better off ordering a meat dish over falafel, so I understand that I didn't get the full experience because of what I chose to get. but the food is certainly made with love, and that love is felt within the community. read more

Love this place! The food is fresh and delicious. The wraps are huge. The chicken on the kebab was really juicy, not dry. The gyros wrap had hearty pieces of meat. The yogurt salad is fresh and cool. Agree with "mom and pop" place so you know the food lovingly-made. Definitely will go back! read more

The food is so good will def be coming back. The prices might be a little high but it was definitely worth it! I had the gyro plate with the cucumber salad and stuffed grape leaves.

D's Mediterranean Grill - Menu - Mediterranean Near Me - Waco, Texas

This is a Mom and Pop place. Very local abierto outside of Downtown Waco. The prices could surprise you but the food is really good and fresco. The kabob is big and enough for a person, the rice is super fluffy, and the salad is super fresh. I wish that I had found this place before and it would be a repeater. read more

D's Mediterranean Grill - Chicken Kabob with Falafel and Lebanese Salad. - Mediterranean Near Me - Waco, Texas

The restaurant is really nice. The food is cooked to order. Took a little to get served. The food was great. The chicken and steak kabobs were juicy and tender. We had hummus, Greek salad, spanakopita, grape leaves. The only bad thing is the pita bread they use for the gyros. It's the thin, dry pita pockets. Not the warm and fluffy pita bread. Would come again read more

D's came highly recommended by all my Waco friends, so I had to check it out. The food at D's in my opinion is better than 99% of the places I tried out in the Mediterranean and Middle East! I got the chicken wrap, and the chicken is soooooo juicy, and the char is so yummy! The wrap is so chewy and such a good compliment to the chicken and veggies inside. Local family feel, and the owners are so sweet! Don't be surprised if the customers start a conversation with you while you wait for your food. This place feels like you're being invited to eat a meal at your grandparent's house. Note: Parking is limited but you should be able to drive around and find parking in the neighborhood nearby. read more

D's Mediterranean Grill - Chicken Wrap - Mediterranean Near Me - Waco, Texas

We were in town visiting and went to this restaurant on the recommendation of a friend and it was closed! (It was a Friday evening at 7 PM).

It was great restaurant even the grape leaves were made right with rice and meat. The service was amazing and friendly people. I would be back for more food read more

I ordered a falafel wrap that was unremarkable. Mushy falafel, the bread was just off stale.

Kind of off the freeway but it has old world charm. It was worth the drive for a nice lunch break. Clean restrooms, pretty mural in the dining room and food cooked fresh while you wait. We will save this as a spot to stop whenever we are driving through from Dallas to Austin. read more

We enjoyed our gyros, one lamb and one chicken. The service was good and the restaurant was cozy.

I ordered the chicken kabob plate with green beans and Lebanese salad. The food was all very good, and everything seemed quite fresh. There is nothing that pushed the experience over the top to earn that fifth star, but it certainly wasn't a bad meal choice. read more

Too expensive, mediocre food, improperly cooked chicken - too fry, not marinated no spices. The salad only had cucumber and tomato. Non-existent customer service. Alpha Omega is a better option. I used to enjoy this place from 2014-2020 but they charge $25 for a $14 meal. read more

Great Food! Friendly people Reasonable prices Clean Seems to do a lot of take out however we ate there read more

We eat Dallas Mediterranean food frequently and D's was poor quality and more expensive. The chicken kebab was tough and seemed fatty/rubbery with very few vegetables and bland rice. The falafel was good. The hummus seemed watered down and flavorless. Would not recommend. read more

We were a bit skeptical when we pulled up at 630pm and there were no cars in the parking lot but decided to try it anyway. So glad that we did! The dinning area was clean and the kitchen door was open. We could see two ladies in the kitchen preparing food as well as what appeared to be the owner. He washed hands and came out of the kitchen to greet us with a huge smile as he was drying his hands on the towel hanging from his apron. Our food portions were generous and so delicious! Several more patrons arrive and it was not long before the place was full. In the true Greek fashion there was lots of kind greetings as each customer entered and our worries of the day melted away as laughter filled the room from each of the different tables. This is definately a hidden gem! read more

Really enjoyed our first time here. My wife and I had lunch w my parents. I had the gyro plate w rice and two sides. I chose hummus and baba ganoug. Everything was very yummy and I had pita bread w it. My wife got some tenders and my mom got a gyro. Don't recall what my dad ordered. You order up front and the owner brought it out to us. As I said earlier I loved it and it was very flavorful. I was given some of that tzatziki sauce on the side and that was good. I had to add a bit of pepper and salt to my rice but over all it was two thumbs up on this one. Very happy my parents suggested here and will hopefully return here really soon. I love mom and pop type shops and this one was definitely the tops in my book. I would suggest arriving early unless picking up as the dining area as well as the parking is a bit limited. The owners are very nice. read more

D's Mediterranean Grill - Lamb and beef gyro platter w rice and pick two sides hummus and baba ghanouj. Very yummy!!! - Mediterranean Near Me - Waco, Texas

What a nice surprise on my way to Big Bend NF. The lamb kebab and Lebanese salad were super good. The stuffed grape leaves were not fresh, though. I recommend their kebabs. read more

D's Mediterranean Grill - Lamb kebab and Lebanese salad - Mediterranean Near Me - Waco, Texas

First impression: wasn't. When I step in a restaurant, I want to smell what they're cooking, make my mouth water. This didn't happen. Smelled of musty building and cleaning supplies. After spending $99 (including tip) for 3 meals, we waited 30 minutes for our meals to be delivered. It wasn't busy in the restaurant but appeared there may have only been 1-2 people cooking. Meals were served on styrofoam plates which is frustrating for the amount they charge. The beef kebabs were tender but not very flavorful. The rice tasted like a box mix. The falafel were tasty but dry, hummus was delicious and the kibbe were dry and needed salt. I really wanted to try the stuffed grape leaves and spanikopita which was highly recommended but they were out at noon on a Monday. I would maybe try again in case this was an off day, but was frustrated at the cost. We definitely had plenty to eat as we all left full so at least can say the quantity of food was comparable to the cost. read more

This Waco staple is really good for some reliable tasty Mediterranean food. Not deep on the regional level but consistently good wraps and kabobs. read more

Superb. We were in town to watch our son run in a meet at Baylor, and we chose this place for lunch, and were very happy with that choice. Wife and I had tenderloin kabobs (medium rare), and our son had a grilled chicken wrap. For sides, we had Lebanese salad, and cucumber yogurt salad. We also shared a bowl of tabbouleh. Every single thing we had was fresh, flavorful, and all around excellent. It's also a small mom and pop operation, which we loved. They both were so kind. read more

Don't sleep on D's!! This place is owned by a sweet couple. .. If you want authentic Mediterranean food, you have to stop by D's. Growing up in Waco, this was always one of my favorite places. I recommend getting the lamb gyro with rice. You can't go wrong. The lamb is very flavorful and juicy. The Spanakopita is out of this world, if you have never tried it, please do yourself a favor and order it. It's a small spinach pie with a flaky buttery crust. Everything I've ever ordered here has tasted fresh and amazing. Please do yourself a favor, and visit D's. You will not regret it! read more

The service was amazing! The owners are friendly and very hard working! They visited our table and talked to my 5 year old grandson! As to the food ...freaking delicious!! We got gyros and some sides and they were the best I have ever had! The stuffed grape leaves and the hummus, along with the gyros, will be worth the 1.5 hour drive! Don't forget the baklava! You can thank me later! read more

We tried D's one night while searching for falafel in Waco. Parking is very tight but enough for the small dinning area. The atmosphere is very plain and not inspiring. However, the food was good. We ordered the falafel plate with humus and baba ganoush, the chicken kabob plate with fries and humus, and a slice of baklava. The falafel was very herbaceous, crispy, light. All of the humus was creamy and delicious and a perfect compliment to the crispy homemade spiced pita chips. The chicken kabobs were juicy and well charred. The baba was a little thin and disappointing but easily overlooked with all of the other good food. The real treat in this meal was the baklava. It was crispy and chewy all at once with great depth of flavor to support its sweetness. Well worth it. We enjoyed eating at D's. We didn't enjoy the price tag for the meal. If you are just looking for good Greek food and not worried about the cost, this is your place. Our meal was $50. read more

Driving south from Dallas, my daughter Googled restaurants as we neared Waco. Since we hadn't Greek/Mediterranean in quite some time, we decided to stop at D's. It's quite an unassuming place -- and older -- so it's easy to miss. We ordered 2 gyros, dolmadess, and spanakopita at the counter service, and it was brought out to us. Food: Delicious! Everything was freshly made, and the dolmatas were still hot from being steamed. I had never had dolmades hot, but they were super tasty. Spanakopita also straight out of the oven and divine. Most times I've had a subtle blend of flavors, but the herb mix added to this was yummy. Tzaziki... The owners: Adorable and sweet. We came in at 1 pm, and there was a steady stream of customers during the hour we were there. We will definitely be returning! read more

I wish this was a good review because I enjoy supporting family owned businesses, but I'm disappointed to see how high they have raised their prices. They have raised their prices of the meals by nearly $10. I understand there's inflation, but to increase a 3 piece chicken meal to be $25 is outrageous. At this point, I'll take my money to a chain restaurant where I can get more for my money. I appreciate the hardworking couple who run the restaurant, but every time I place an order on the phone, I always end up waiting way longer than the estimated wait time (30 minutes longer). If it wasn't for the overpriced meals, I'd still be supporting this business. Unfortunately, the prices are too outrageous. I can get way more food for $25 at another restaurant. read more

Found this place recommended on Trip Advisor...and it had good Yelp reviews too. So glad we stopped! True "mom and pop" business. Don't expect food to be done quickly...they made everything fresh and it was worth the wait. It's not a fast food joint. The food was wonderful...we really enjoyed it, and this is now moved to the top for our favorite place to stop when passing through Waco. The place was very clean, and we enjoyed a little conversation with the owners. read more

Excellent food! I was very impressed by the balance of flavor (not overpowering or overly vinegary as some Mediterranean food can be); portion size was solid, food was freshly made, and the service was great. Highly recommended! read more

10/10. Everything was fresh, seasoned & juicy. Get the beef tenderloin, it's delicious.

This place is awesome it doesn't look fancy from the outside, BUT I love the Kebob both Beef and Chicken, the different salads are excellent as well, the place is always packed at lunch and the food isn't made fast but it is worth the wait. It is family run business and the staff are always friendly. I go about every 3 to 4 weeks but enough that when I didn't go after a surgery for about 2 months , I was greeted "oh hello my friend! it has been so long I was worried about you " (this was during the height of COVID) , I explained my absence and he said he was so glad to see me and you could tell he was being genuine. It is THAT kind of local family run place. Where the owner makes you feel comfortable and the food makes you feel good and full. read more

Absolutely charming and clean family run business. The food was entirely fresh and delicious. I tried the falafel, baba gaunoush with pita chips, Lebanese salad, and tzatziki, and they were all so, so, good. The food came out very fast and the service was great. An item had been left off my order and the lady apologetically fixed it immediately. The prices were super reasonable. The gentlemen cooking the food looked like he was really enjoying himself and brought out each tray with a little smile. It reminded me of the kinda place your great aunt and uncle might be running when you were a kid. I'm definitely going back. read more

I absolutely loved every bite. It was such a pleasure. I got the Gyro plate. So yummy. My sides were baba ghanouj. I think there's is the best with the pita chips. I also got fried green beans which are also so delicious. Took a friend and it was her first time there she ordered the falafel and loved it with spanakopita. Thank you so much for the quality food that you provide. I can't wait to go back again read more

If you're craving Mediterranean cuisine and in Waco, Texas you can't go wrong with this quaint little hole in the wall. The people are very friendly and the food is fresh and very good! Served on paper plates, you dine in a homey non-descript place with really good food! We found the owner very friendly and spoke to him about a You Tube video we watched about his place before we decided to try out! Check it out. He teaches you how to make tabouli! We found the video charming so we decided to check the place out and was pleasantly surprised! A nice little jewel in Waco! read more

Love this place. They allow you BYOB for dining in. The homemade pit chips are great. I usually get the chicken wrap (shawarma) but everything I've had is good. read more

Yummmmmmmmmm Cute little place with the best food Worth every penny. Try it out. I had a gryo and although that may sound basic. It was delish. read more

Greeted by Hippocrates quote "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be the food". Then confronted with styrofoam and plastic everything. Wish the owners would go a step further with their logic of where we are going to get healthy food. It's a fast food restaurant that's poorly arranged. Self serve soda machine is in high traffic area of front door and register. Clutter behind the counter and kitchen door was open to display more disarray. Our table had a ketchup bottles with old caked on ketchup around the lid. Staff comes out of kitchen with food plates on red plastic trays and will stand next to you and yell your ticket number instead of approaching the two tables in the restaurant. Overall sense of not wanting you there or you're an inconvenience. Now to the food. Pretty pricey. $18 for one lamb kabob with 4-5 pieces of meat. Box mashed potatoes. Green beans were good. Hummus is flavorless. Pita bread isn't house made or it was old-either way it was hard and dry. Lebanese salad and falafel were both decent but unmemorable. Overall, you get the impression that someone had a vision once but have lost their way. read more

D's Mediterranean Grill - Mediterranean Near Me - Waco, Texas

This place was pretty good. We went in the late afternoon when no one else was there. It is kind of a hole in the wall. Out of the way. Unique food - hard to find Mediterranean in Waco and it definitely tasted okay. read more

This sweet couple cook such great food! So fresh. Great seasoning. Transports you to the Mediterranean coast!

First time ever having Mediterranean food. Had the lamb gyro meat over rice with falafel, hummus, and pita bread to-go and everything was delicious. Besides the good food, the people were very friendly and they had a nice, clean looking restaurant. I highly recommend this place. read more
