Baklava
Catherine F.

The restaurant was decorated beautifully from the furnishings to the tableware. Everyone, including the owner, made this a personable experience by checking up on us and ensuring we enjoyed our food. My favorite part of the meal was the naan, which was brought out fresh and extremely fluffy. I ordered the Beef Shish Kabob (flame-grilled beef kabobs, marinated, served with vermicelli rice topped with slivered almonds, alongside charred seasonal vegetables). I liked it but thought it could used more enhancing flavors. We got to try the baklava, which is very sweet and would be a good option for those with a sweet tooth.

service was amazing - loved our waiter. The food was so good too and will be coming back to try the desserts and coffee

The ambience is a five star they make me feel like I'm top tier and the food was super super delicious, everything was authentic. The team is outstanding in what they do !! DO NOT MISS OUT ON THIS GEM

Platter
Tifna T.

Not enough lighting to where we were siting especially with a large party size. The food was very expensive. We got two appetizers and three platters and didn't realize how expensive it would be nor did the waiter tell us about it. Which was a bit disappointing. From the appetizers selection( the peach with halloumi was amazing and so was their Greek salad before the cyclospora hit. I would just go back for these two things.

Lamb chops
Jana B.

We made reservations for Easter lunch and tried this place out. FOOD: I ordered the lamb chop entree with rice and grilled vegetables. $42 for 3 chops, pounded, but cooked to medium rare and the flavor was good, but not great. IMO, this was overpriced. ATMOSPHERE: The space is tastefully done, mainly catering to an upscale or date night vibe. I would not bring all my grandchildren here though. SERVICE: Our server was attentive; however, never told us his name (my pet peeve) and I hate flagging wait staff with a wave or saying hey you! TIP: It looks like they had a good bar selection, which I think is appealing. Not too many dessert options.

I was with a coworker who prefers healthier options, so we were looking for Mediterranean or a good salad spot. I found this place nearby with strong Yelp reviews and great-looking photos, so we decided to try it for lunch. I expected a casual, fast-style Mediterranean grill, but it turned out to be a more upscale restaurant in a strip mall. The space was really beautiful décor, greenery, and a nice atmosphere. We were seated and given both lunch and dinner menus since it was around 2 PM. I started with an iced tea that had a subtle fruity flavor--really refreshing. We ordered hummus, which came with a fresh, house-made garlic pita. The garlic wasn't overpowering, just a light hint, and it paired perfectly with the hummus. The hummus itself was smooth, creamy, and generously portioned. We originally wanted kebabs, but the lunch menu was mostly sandwiches. Since we weren't in the mood for that, we ordered kebabs from the dinner menu. I chose one of the chicken options (there was also a more lemon-forward version). When the food came out, it was honestly some of the most beautifully plated food I've seen--very intentional and almost magazine-worthy. Everything tasted just as good as it looked. The rice was perfectly cooked with a light seasoning and topped with nuts. The chicken kebab was flavorful, with carrots in between that added a nice fresh crunch. The grilled vegetables on the side were lightly seasoned and cooked just right. It didn't come with a sauce like you might get at a fast-casual Mediterranean spot, but since we had hummus, I used that and it worked really well. The portion was large (more of a dinner size), so I took some home, and it was still fresh and delicious later. The only thing I'd suggest is adding a lunch-sized kebab option, sometimes you just want something lighter instead of a sandwich. My coworker ordered the chicken as well but swapped the rice for a salad and really enjoyed it. Overall, this was a great find. Beautiful space, excellent food, and we'd definitely come back. Highly recommend if you're looking for a more elevated Mediterranean meal.

Dessert Menu
Kurt V.

We came here for my niece's birthday and overall it was a good experience but there were a few incidents that take this place out of a four or even five star rating. When I arrived I was impressed. The ambiance is very nice and has all the looks and thrills of a 5-star kind of place. The food was pretty tasty as well, bordering on the 4+ to 5-star zone. What lacked was the service. For example, they completely forgot my nephew's entree. There was not even an acknowledgment that they had forgotten it and then when we called the server back to the table he acted "surprised" we had not gotten it and yet still did not apologize. When we finally got his food, once again, no apology. When we got the check, no apology either. Our water glasses ran on the empty side most of the meal as well, in fact at one point one of our party got up to get the pitcher herself and at that point another waiter jumped in and started refilling our glasses until our waiter saw it and came back and took over the task for the waiter who was covering. Other than that, the food was delicious and I have to say would get it again, I would just ask for another server or take it to go.

Baba Ganoush
Jeff R.

I don't write a ton of reviews, but my wife and I visited Harissa Mediterranean for the first time and the atmosphere is nice, the service is great, and the food is excellent. My wife wouldn't consider this "authentic" but more of an elevated Mediterranean. Our waitress was very accommodating and the fresh baked bread with Baba Ganoush is very good. They also have a thick garlic creamy sauce for the bread that is awesome. The Beef Shish was good and the rice was very good. Overall, I highly recommend checking this out for your next date night!

Lentil soup
Donnelly N.

Harissa was great! We got there at 6 and were the only ones for a while but it got busier as the night went on. It's well-decorated and the server was very friendly and explained the menus. Our group of 4 decided to order a bunch of items and share. Food was plenty and really delicious. We had a good bottle of rose too. It was nice to see an independent restaurant with great food amidst so many chain restaurants with so so food. Definitely check this place out!

Turkish tea
David J.

What a great addition to Plano dining. Harissa is upscale yet relaxed, fine dining with a homemade personality. Large relaxing patio outside and comfortable seating inside. Great bar as well. I visited on a Monday evening with my date. She lives nearby but hadn't been yet, so it was fun to explore the menu together. We started with the Grilled Halloumi: warm cheese and grilled peaches drizzled with honey. A fantastic beginning. My companion ordered the Shrimp Kabob, beautifully presented and perfectly cooked. I chose the Adana Kabob--ground beef with red pepper, onion, and Turkish spices, served with rice and vegetables. The smoky flavor from their grill really stood out. We finished with Turkish tea, which was the perfect ending to a great meal. High marks all around.

Grilled haoulmi
James P.

This place is so delicious. Nice enough for date night and very reasonably priced. The grilled halloumi appetizer with peaches was awesome as was the deboned chicken entree.

Mediterranean
Cynthia S.

Exceptional food, ambience, and waitstaff. Shane was our waiter and recommended some excellent meals. We started off with the fried feta, and dolmas. Feta was amazing and prepared with right amount of honey and delightful crispy texture. Dolma was the best I've eaten in Texas-I've had many and this was by far tops. My Entree was unique with a fusion of Greek/Mexican that was tasty and culinary art at its best. Food came out fresh and fast. We ordered the peaches to-go and enjoyed this delicious treat at home with some Malta coffee. Overall food and service are excellent and we can't wait to go back and enjoy some more delicious entrees. Shane was knowledgeable of menu items and made great recommendations. Prices are reasonable for the quality of food and presentation. They offer mocktails that are refreshingly light and have a full bar as well.

Lahmacun
Audrey S.

This was a fantastic meal. Ample parking, just walked in on a late weekend afternoon. Everything came together so well. They give pita bread and garlic dipping sauce. The haloumi goes so well with the bread. We also dipped the lahmacun into the garlic sauce as well. One entree, two apps were more than enough for two people. I would come back.

Which the Milk punch caught me off guard, it's a pina colada with a twist. We all said the cocktails were really good! And ended it with the Freddy snacks, which are shots. The bartender did an amazing job on the drinks! Our host was John who always checked on us, and told us all the details about the food. As far as food we ordered Wagyu smash burger sliders, Asian sticky ribs, and Shrimp scampi. Everything was so good! It makes us all want to try Sea Breeze restaurant which it's inside of. I want to try their other menu items even more now. We will definitely be back!

She wanted to recreate a Mezcal drink that was phenomenal at Old Hickory in Gaylord hotel. From our description, the bartender tried her best to duplicate what we had.

But the Mezcal drinks we had at Whiskey Moon were very good and we enjoyed them as a nightcap. The bar is located in the lounge of the Renaissance hotel. It is laid out nicely so there is ample seating at the bar or in the lounge. Service was friendly and professional. It's a bit pricey but I guess that is what vacations are for.

They were not only beautifully crafted but absolutely delicious--each sip had us dreaming of swaying palm trees, ocean breezes, and a Hawaiian getaway. We loved both the Mai Tais and the Beachy Bookkeeper! We decided to share a few appetizers. The Meatballs al Forno was my favorite...packed with flavor and perfect for enjoying with friends over drinks. The Heirloom Tomato Burrata was okay however, the tomatoes didn't seem ripe and were hard and chewy. The Lobster in a Jar was tasty - on the pricey side if you ask me though... One of my favorite things about this spot is the ambiance. The lighting is low (and by low I am flat out dark where you almost can't see your hand in front of your face), creating a dark, cozy, and intimate atmosphere that makes it easy to relax and unwind after a long day. Whether you're catching up with friends, enjoying a date night, or simply looking for a place to escape for a few hours, the vibe here is spot on. The service was fantastic as well. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed, which only added to the experience. Tiki Tuesday has officially become one of my favorite weekly traditions. Great drinks, delicious appetizers, wonderful service, and a cozy atmosphere--what more could you ask for? I'll definitely be back next Tuesday for another little island escape.
