On our way back home from our road trip, we stopped at Tiba Grill in Tyler, Texas, and it turned out to be a great find! Tiba Grill is a halal Lebanese and Greek restaurant, and they even have a grocery store inside, making it a nice spot to grab some Middle Eastern products while you're there. We ordered the Mix Shawarma Plate and the Mix Kabob Plate, and both were delicious. The plates were loaded with grilled meats, seasoned rice, pita bread, fries, hummus, salad, and creamy garlic sauce. The meats were flavorful and nicely grilled, and the portions were very generous. We also tried the Kiwi & Lime and Lemon & Mint drinks, which were refreshing alongside the meal. The restaurant itself has a spacious and unique interior, especially the beautiful colorful hanging lights that give the dining area a warm Middle Eastern feel. Definitely a great halal food stop in Tyler, especially if you're craving a filling Lebanese or Mediterranean-style meal. We left full and happy! read more

This is a cute restaurant, coffee shop and market. You order at the counter. I went for dinner and tried the mixed shawarma, which was chicken, beef and lamb over rice. I added a Greek salad side. The food was good although the meat could have been a little warmer. But it did have great flavor. read more

Tiba Grill - Mix shawarma with Greek salad side. - Mediterranean Near Me - Tyler, Texas

Beautiful building with the mix of wood and brick. Indoor and outdoor seating space. Love all the Mediterranean lamps hanging off the ceiling too. The gentleman who took our order was so friendly and happy to tell us about the menu, he was so helpful and welcoming. Food did not take long and it was delicious! The only note I have is that I wish the pita was freshly made and hot or warm on the plate. That didn't take away from the meal though, all was so good. They even have a small market with imported goods like fig jam, Turkish delights, olive oil and a cafe with Turkish coffee. Definitely want to go back. I could eat there every day. read more

Delightful, delicious food, very good service. Prices range from very good to expensive. Everyone at our table automatically received their own wonderful salsa to go with the complimentary fresh warm chips. My fajitas were very good. Everyone was happy and the customers pleasant in a reasonably quiet environment with good unobtrusive Spanish music. The only negative comment is that the water didn't taste very good. read more

First impression of the place was clean and really beautiful lighting. The people in there were really friendly and the food was season really good too. Definitely will come back here for lunch and dinner. read more

I went into this place not knowing what to expect and I was immediately blown away. The ambiance is incredible. All the lamps are gorgeous and the seating is comfortable. The food is amazing and the service is top tier! I will take any excuse to support a local, immigrant owned restaurant, and hands down this is a place I will frequent every visit! read more

Friendly people, beautiful welcoming atmosphere, and delicious food that is satisfying and hits the spot. They also have a mini ethnic market.

Delicious!!! Everything we had was fresh and delicious. The staff was helpful and kind! The atmosphere is pleasant and bright.

The Two women working at the Counter - Rude, inconsiderate, and Condescending. Bad service all the way and got our orders wrong and acted like it was our problem. I will not be coming back and highly don't recommend read more

Amazing food! Incredible hospitality. I'm so glad I found this place and wish I would have sooner!

I ordered a gyro not a grilled burrito gyro should have fresh cucumber, tomato, lettuce, onion, not wilted, warm nasty goo. I was very disappointed. Also ordered baba ghanoush for my side. I was given no pita or anything to dip it in had to pay extra for that and tzatziki, which should come with a gyro not impressed. read more

Large seating area, order at the counter and have a seat. Food was served quick and was good. Chicken shawarma was good, small lunch portions. read more

The food is just simply delicious and the portions are GENEROUS! For the price you pay (which would seem pricey) you get almost a whole days worth of food! Please let me emphasize on how fresh everything is, including the rice. This is important because I've tried places where the rice taste straight out of a box or bag? You can tell how fresh and homemade they make their stuff. The way this works is you go straight to registers where you'll find the menu on the wall. When ready to order you walk up to register, pay then sit yourself down anywhere you like. Now back to the food-We're regulars and usually get the chicken shawarma meal with rice, Greek salad and cucumber sauce. Please don't skip the cucumber sauce! It's what brings these dishes to life!! Space is gorgeous, wide open and more than plenty for large groups. Birthdays would be perfect here. I don't always feel the friendly vibes from the young man at the register. No smile, no spark, no genuine friendliness but honestly I'm here for the food. As long as the chef is doing its wonderful job, I'll continue returning, although it's nice to see the sweet friendly smile from the young lady instead read more

I am addicted to this place. I actually dream about it when I'm not in Tyler and I just want to drive there just to visit this restaurant. I always get the same thing which is the combo skewers. That's one chicken, one lamb and one beef and I get it with the hummus. I do not know what they do to this hummus, but it is so delicious. Then the skewers are on type of a rice with a salad on the side. The salad is so fresh and whatever dressing they put on it is just delicious. Then they put the sauce that's on top of your skewers and it is like a creamy Delicacy. The next time I go, I'm just going to ask them to put more of that creamy stuff on it because it's like it's just not enough and it's just so freaking delicious. I had an iced tea and the iced tea is like a combination spicy fresh/regular tea if that makes any sense. Not what I would normally probably choose, but it's still refreshing and doesn't throw me off in any kind of way or isn't a real turn off so I would get that again.. I've tasted like their wraps which is like a wrap Gyro and those were really tasty too. I started to get that this time but I'm just so addicted to the skewer plate. My customer/friend originally introduced me to this restaurant and now it is the only place I ever want to go when I come to town. Tyler has so many food options with barbecue, Mexican food and Mediterranean that you're surely never to go hungry in this city, but I am just addicted to going here. I love that they are always consistent and the food is always good. I think they have tons of customers because you always see people coming in to this place for dining in or either to go. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are in the Tyler area. It's a fresh and healthy type of a meal and I think that is something that I crave as well. read more

An exceptional experience with a warm, inviting ambiance and outstanding service. The delicious food keeps you coming back for more.

Absolutely delicious food. My husband and I split the mixed grilled meat plate with two sides, hummus and Greek salad. And baclava (sp?) for dessert. The beef was so tender and savory, great flavor on the chicken without it being dry, and beef/lamb ground together (I don't remember it's called) was also very good. Loved the baclava, too. The friendly cashier who took our order was very knowledgeable and helpful. The food came out quickly and hot. The restaurant is very clean and beautifully decorated. The bathrooms were also very nice and clean. The plate that was meant for one fed us both very nicely. If you're super hungry, though, don't share but you'll be stuffed. We will be back and definitely recommend this restaurant read more

Not really gyro meat cooked the way I'm accustomed to in Houston, but flavorful. Food comes out quickly and good service.

So so so good! I ordered the lamb chop plate. The fries were a 10/10, the lamb chops were tender and flavorful and so was the rice! The only thing I was missing was the white sauce I believe it would tie everything together! I also got baklava and it was 10/10 so good! I will be returning! read more

The food here is very good. The service and concern for patrons is outstanding; we are always asked during our meal if everything is good. We go here at least 3-4 times a month since we have to watch what we eat for our health. read more

The chicken kabob plate was delicious. I liked everything on my plate. The rice was different than any I've tried before, but I liked it. Loved the greek salad. read more

This is my husband and my favorite date spot as the food is delicious and the ambiance is perfect for a conversation. The chicken shawarma plate with the baba ganoush and salad is my favorite. My kids love the gyros and the hummus and baklava are also very good. The homemade spicy pickled vegetables side are also one of my favorites. What makes this restaurant is the family that owns and works here. They are lovely and always take amazing care of us. read more

So glad we found and tried this Mediterranean restaurant in Tyler TX. We love Mediterranean food but very limited choices in NE TX. Beautiful decorations and very clean. Every dish we tried was delicious and their dessert choices were many! Definitely recommend trying this restaurant. They also have a market areas with lots of choices not found at typical grocery stores. read more

So many great reviews. I was super excited. BAD: Normally, shawarma flavor is so rich and flavorful. Unfortunately, this location's was very bland and the rice flavoring over took the meat flavoring. It tasted more like a beef fajita from a Mexican restaurant than any Shawarma flavored meat I've had before. And the portion size was less than desirable for the price. GOOD: Rice was great. Hummus was traditional and very tasty. Salad/dressing was also flavorful. BIAS: Growing up in Houston, I've been fortunate to have some really fabulous Mediterranean food. I will def come back to try this place again, because I'd like the try to a bigger salad with some gyro meat or a gyro sandwich. (True test is always in the gyros.) read more

We were in Tyler and looking for a good meal. I honestly did not expect to find such delicious and flavorful Mediterranean food! I highly recommend this restaurant, and I would definitely eat there again. First, it's a really cool ambiance, with a mix of East Texas farmhouse featuring rough cut boards and exposed brick, and Middle Eastern chandeliers and calming music. The lighting from high windows and a high ceiling is beautiful. Very nice ambiance. Ordering at the counter was quick and easy. Then the food was brought out to the table. We ordered: Chicken Shawarma Plate: a good portion and enjoyed yet the onions and tomatoes mixed in. Lamb Kabob Plate: delicious lamb, and cooked just right, I would say a perfect medium well. Simple seasoning and not charred. Very very good. Then recommend all the sides: Greek salad: very nice cream dressing Hummus Baba Ghanoush Mix Pickles: good compliment to the overall flavors and especially the lamb Overall, outstanding experience, very friendly and helpful staff, and I would definitely recommend. read more

I can't say enough good things about Tiba Grill!! We have eaten there often and love it. But yesterday was extra!! We ordered Tiba through Door Dash and when our order arrived part of it was missing. No idea whether it was a Door Dash issue or not. We called the restaurant and within 30 minutes the OWNER of Tiba delivered our order and added baklava on the house! He went above and beyond to make everything right. Great business owner and great human. read more

Decent food, but very disappointed with falafel plate portion size. I got the falafel plate with a salad and hummus. It had one dinner spoon serving side of hummus. Salad was normal side salad size. It didn't come with rice, though it appeared to come with it on the menu on the wall. Other guests seemed to have normal plate sizes, but mine was more like a snack. I wish I had photographed the food. If I come back, it will be for the shawarma or something else. Service was okay I guess. read more

Casual Mediterranean restaurant where the food is outstanding and the service excellent. All hot and fresh,, made to order. The Lamb kabob was cooked perfectly and the gyro was tender and packed with flavor. Greek salad was good, as expected, plus had a little dusting of cumin on top which accentuated the other flavors well. Love family owned restaurants and here customers are just extended family. Hospitality and care put into Tiba Grill shows AND they have a little grocery store with more amenities to come. You've got to check out this place! read more

As someone who is half Turkish & lived in Turkey for six years, this is as good as it's gonna get in Tyler, TX. There's more authentic and better Mediterranean food in Dallas & Houston, but this is great for East Texas. They have a little grocery store inside too. It's worth checking out. They're located in a kind of hard to find spot. If you're not looking for them, it's not a restaurant that would jump out at you, it's off the main roads. I just wish they had a lunch buffet. read more

Really good Middle Eastern food. We recommend you eat in as it's hot and fresh. Excellent dolmades!

I got the chicken shawarma plate. The food was underseasononed and didn't come with any chili sauce, etc. They charged for sauce (a small cup)...which I guess is a good business model if the food is so tasteless. read more

The website is goofy. First off, you HAVE to select a pickup/delivery time to even view the menu. That said, the only available pick up time available for that day was for 11:30 pm (they close at 8pm). So I selected my only allowed time of 11:30pm so my group and I could view the menu. We selected our items and went ahead and placed the order despite the pick up time (which couldn't be changed at payment by the way). After placing the order I called the restaurant 4 times to confirm my order and no one answered. So we decided to just go up there to pick up/check status, and of course the order wasn't started, no big deal we just waited. The food was pretty tasty, however the portions are small and misleading when compared to the pictures on the website. One example of this is the Baklava, which shows several pieces on the website for $4.25. I didn't expect a pile for that price (like the website suggests), but we were given half a piece. For these reasons, I gave it a 2/5. It's not really worth the hassle here to go back, unless changes are made! read more

Really good! Could just use a boost of flavor, but overall a great selection of food. I found the chicken a little dry but everything else was super. read more

I love this place. It's authentic middle eastern food. The chicken shawarma is delicious. I wish I would of found them sooner. It's amazing being able to get an authentic cup of Arab/Turkish coffee. I missed it so much. The last time I had a cup was 10 years ago in Egypt, so authentic it took my heart back to memories of a beautiful culture. read more
