Not the Ziziki's I grew up with but good. As with everything these days the prices have increased and portions have shrunk. Knowing Costa Arabatzis from the early 1990s and his early days on Lower Greenville and its various iterations to the beautiful large Ziziki's on Knox/Henderson and most recently Preston Forest. I'm always happy to visit. The classic Greek Platter (Spanakopita, pastichio, chicken or lamb souvlaki) $40 had a good portion of a dry, lamb souvlaki and a very small portion of spanakopita and pastichio. The pastichio was delicious. A platter that used to be shareable is barely for one. The vibe is casual but romantic. What you would expected for a restaurant in this neighborhood. The lights are dim so bring a date. The little bar could be fun for drink before heading out for the night and there's a small patio. The service was swift and they offered a Greek wine option based on my tastes. It's was good and I would order a glass again. Maybe for me it's the nostalgia that keeps me coming back but with other Greek options I find my visits fewer and farther between. read more

We went to Ziziki's as a group of 4 for a birthday brunch and had a really great time! The service was wonderful, we had an older lady that was eager to assist us and never had an empty glass. Mimosa service came with orange, peach, or cranberry juice. You can get refills of whatever food you want more of too, which is great. We really enjoyed the eggs, Ziziki bread, waffles and spanakopita. We also brought our own cake and they added sparkler candles which were really fun! I think my only disappointment was telling her that we had a vegetarian in the group and she said she'd take care of us, but we didn't get anything different. We were hoping for some falafel or something, but we still all left full and satisfied! read more

Ziziki's - Third Course of Brunch - Greek Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Went for birthday celebration. Noted in reservation but no acknowledgement. Artichoke hummas was tasty but the serving was so small we gingerly used 6 pieces of pita and had 9-10 left with no hummus. Soup was good. Split a salad with plenty of lamb but nearly a half empty bowl of dressing to share and one piece of cucumber and two tomatoes per bowl. No olives and hardly any lettuce. What a birthday let down. read more

Another supper club in the bag! And of course I've chose another great restaurant. I was trying to choose a restaurant that we had not had and we had not had Greek and I've been wanting to try some Greek food have some Lamb and this did it. The rotating pictures that were on the screen were all of grease and it really transported you to Greece. One of the people that I was with said certain smells just brought back so many fond memories of her time in Greece as a teenager The music was so pleasant. The conversation was good. It wasn't loud we could hold a conversation. I really appreciate it the mood and style of the restaurant now let's get to the food. The food was amazing. The lamb was cooked perfectly. Everyone seem to enjoy the Lamberger the lamb chops. I enjoyed my Lamb and the other person enjoyed her chicken so it was a win all the way around we were so full at the end of the meal we shared the crème brûlée, which was very good as well so we walked away very satisfied very full and thank you Ziziki's for the fantastic service that you offer us so pleasant so kind we thank you. read more

This was our second visit to Ziziki's in the last couple of months for their Sunday brunch. Galina was our server once again, and it was a delightful experience as always. She is very attentive and quick, and elevates the whole experience to a higher level. The food is consistently delicious every time too. You have a plethora of items to choose from. Normally, with brunch, you get all the items on the brunch menu, but if you are like us and don't like to waste food, if you are not in the mood for something, just ask. They will be happy to substitute it for something else from the menu, or skip it altogether if you'd like. For example, the first course comes with scrambled eggs and blueberry pancakes with maple syrup. While the scrambled eggs are absolutely delicious with fresh basil and feta cheese, the sweet pancakes feel a little out of place, since they would fit better with the dessert menu. We learned that you can always request them separately at the end of your meal. The place is very cozy and has a very well thought-out interior with references to Greek culture. We loved the golden chandeliers shaped as grape branches, the Greek seascape wallpaper and windmills, and even the little black olive tree imitations. Overall it works very well to recreate a feeling of Greece in the heart of Texas. It's not Santorini, but you can pretend for a minute, can't you? The place can accommodate both small and large parties, though it would be a good idea to call ahead for a reservation, especially on Sundays, as they can get very busy. read more

Food was bland, reheated and not fresh ingredients at all Meats were cooked well but had noflavor The dessert was some Costco fruit platter and cheap tasteless baklava Overall DO NOT RECOMMEND coming here read more

Ziziki's is delicious. I've been twice now. Once with a large group & another with a small group. Both had great service & experience. Everything was sooo good! I genuinely don't think you could order wrong at Ziziki's. The reason I took a star away though is the pricy. The food is very good but the price is keeping me from coming often. I would suggest giving this place a try especially for a special occasion! read more

Galina was an absolutely wonderful server and made our experience so much more fun! Felt like we were in the middle of Mykonos. The Sunday 5-course brunch is the best value in Dallas and tastes phenomenal. We will be back! read more

Food met expectations and service was certainly attentive, but sometimes, a server should stand down a bit. Cutting off customers mid sentence while they are speaking to their family over and over starts to feel less like service and more like a repetitive intrusion. Felt a little overbearing. Became stressful. Could barely finish one plate before asking if we were done. Probably stick to the uptown location from now on. read more

Great food, it has been several years since we have eaten there. Nice menu lost to pick from, great location.

My mother's favorite dessert was Baklava. So, we had Zizziki's make us a ton and we served it at mom's funeral. One word -- OUTSTANDING!! Thank you. read more

Fantastic, always great food and love the vibe. The Artichoke hummus is delish. Service is always great as well. My only complaint is I cant afford it all the time. But when I can I go. read more

Ziziki's has two locations; one on Travis Walk and the other at Preston and Forest. While the offerings are consistently good at both locations, each has a different personality. Travis Walk has always been a little more trendy and hip due to its location in an area where there is ever-evolving changes in restaurants and stores. Preston and Forest is the neighborhood joint, more likely to have an older and casual crowd. These days, I tend to gravitate to the Preston and Forest location since I've grown older and a tad more casual in my attire. Twenty-five years ago when I was seriously drawn to the latest in trendy men's fashions and hopelessly single, you'd be much more likely to find me at the Travis Walk location. Perhaps the reason I often (but not always) steer clear from the Travis Walk location these days is due to tortured memories of serial drama in my personal life that somehow seemed to happen there, many moons ago. For example, back in the day, I had a first date with a gregarious blond, Debbie, one Friday night, who quickly abandoned me at the bar at the Travis Walk store when she spied her former beau a few tables away and ran off to join him with the martini in hand that I had just purchased for her. Preston and Forest is predictably calm. For the most part, no boisterous noise. Patrons here are generally sedate. As I mentioned, the chow is good, just like Travis Walk. Maybe not the most authentic Greek food, but always reliable. I won't be pinned down to one dish. I wander up and down the menu and find most everything to my liking. But for you, what is your choice? Do you lean Travis Walk or Preston and Forest? It's up to you and your personality. But if you do go to Travis Walk, keep an eye out for Debbie. I'm sure she's still hanging out at the bar, playing the field. read more

Ziziki's - A sedate night at Preston and Forest. I'm on good behavior. - Greek Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Friends met to try the brunch buffet and I had to think on this for a bit. Overall it was pretty good meal but not a wowzer. They bring courses to your table and you can ask for more. One bottle of champagne for every two persons. Started with pita, one GF and one regular each with cheese. Nice and fresh and really like a cheese pizza. Eggs and mini blueberry pancakes were really good. Then a variety of dip, smoked salmon (still a little frozen, mini bagels and more yummy pita. The souvlaki was a bit dry bit chicken and lamb. Keep some ziiziki sauce close by to help. Desert was a plate of fruit, some baklava and chocolate cake. Not bad. Gabrielle provided great service to us. It's a 3.5 star experience for sure and fun to add a Greek twist. It's worth a try. read more

The food? Yummy, delicious, well-done Greek food with no surprises or twists. Just solid food done right. The brunch especially is such a great deal for what you get, especially if you have big eaters in your group! On my last visit, the service was sort of lacking, unfortunately. Our waiter spilled the majority of a glass of white wine alllll over my friend. He apologized and brought her a single napkin to dry herself (she had to ask for more because she was completely soaked). He then spilled my red wine as he was pouring it, and he didn't pour the whole carafe it came in, leaving some in the carafe that he just took away. At the end of the meal, we declined dessert, so he brought the checks, then told us, "If you'd wanted a dessert, we would have comped it." First, that's a weird way to present that offer. My wine-soaked friend responded, "Well, could you comp my drink?" Just a single drink. Not all of our drinks. A single drink. And he said NO. Sort of shocking how that was handled. read more

THE FOOD & SERVICE are 5 STARS! The only complaint that I have is that the whole restaurant reeks of Fabuloso Lavender Scent. You should walk in and smell the amazing food. Thank goodness there was seating available on the patio. read more

Tried this place for brunch and it was descent. The brunch is seated buffet style. You get 1 Mimoas carafe per two ppl. It's an additional 20$ for another carafe. The service is good. I would go back to try for dinner read more

I met two friends who love Greek food and had never been to Ziziki's. They ordered the Moussaka, which they said was ok. I ordered the lamb souvlaki, which I have had many times in the past at Ziziki's. I ordered it medium rare. It arrived overcooked, not even a hint of pink, uneven size pieces of lamb and too tough to cut with the steak knife provided. Also dry, not seasoned and tasteless. There was about two tablespoons of a thin, watery tzatziki across one center piece of lamb. I sent it back. The second newly prepared dinner was no improvement. Once again, ordered medium rare and came out overcooked and tough. This time the tzatziki was served on the side and was still thin, watery, a tiny bit thicker and no cucumber, lemon or mint flavors at all. The price of $32 for the two skewer souvlaki that was prepared twice and laid across one piece of pita bread is outrageous. The baklava ice cream cake was still outstanding, thank goodness. The server knew we were not happy, yet no management ever came to the table. They did slightly redeem themselves by comping my souvlaki, but only when the bill was presented with no apologies for the quality, preparation or presentation of the dish. It will be a long time before I return to Ziziki's, if ever. read more

Intimate setting, bright but still cozy. A superb and varied menu is easily vegan or vegetarian adaptable. We requested a vegetarian tray and not only was it artfully displayed, it was delicious! Our servers were attentive, but did not hover. A wonderful lunch, evening or special occasion place. read more

The food here is excellent, but our server, Margarita, completely ruined the experience. After we tipped 14% on our bill--reasonable for a casual one-hour lunch--she had the audacity to confront us and ask if we were dissatisfied with her service. This behavior was rude, entitled, and completely unprofessional. She also stood at our table and argued with us about how 20% is her expectation and waited for us to basically cough up a higher tip. It's a shame, because the food is great, but the service needs serious improvement. We won't be returning if this is how customers are treated. read more

Holy cow. The brunch is wonderful. Soooo much food. My friend and I had the brunch and mimosas. I can't even tell you what was my favorite because everything was terrific! One nice touch was the options for mimosas- both my friend and I opted for pineapple juice. Our server was polite and quick. We arrived a few minutes before our reservation and the restaurant was just opening and we were seated immediately. Our sever was funny and joked around and complimented us. We were also thrilled that there wasn't a dress code. I suppose you could call it "smart casual". It was quiet enough for us to catch up but not enough to feel solemn. read more

It's been a while since I've been back and I feel it was for good reason. The food is quite underwhelming, especially given the pricing point. Call me a stickler, but I just have a thing for overpaying for average to mediocre food. The lamb was dry and tough, smoked salmon was decent, but average.. and the drinks were ok. read more

Had an amazing and very memorable dinner here tonight with my parents... I was in town from California... I eat a lot of Greek food probably at least two times a week and I have a lot of Greek friends who have made me homemade spanakopita and dolmas. I have to say that the was by far the best Taziki that I've ever had at any Greek restaurant in my life!!! The dolmas were so fresh and handmade from scratch!!! my dad raved about the salmon!!! he should know because he was CEO of a major fish company and he is very picky about his seafood quality. Service was incredible. Everybody is so friendly and attentive and I feel like the pricing was also super reasonable. Ambience was great... We will definitely be back... This is one of my parents go to places. read more

Beautiful environment, service and food was great. A very pleasant experience!! I plan to go back!!

How delicious and fabulous! The beet and feta salad is wonderful and very flavorful. I had the grilled chicken as my entrée and it did not disappoint! Chicken was juicy and piping hot. The roasted potatoes are divine! Packed with wonderful herbal flavors. The mini salad on the plate was delicious too. We started with the 3 dip appetizer and each dip was so good! The pita was warm and toasted. So good!! We will be back!! Awesome service too! read more

Good service, nice salad. The ambiance was a little more formal than I planned when i came in with yoga pants :)

This marks the first time we tried a Greek brunch, and from now on our brunches must be of the Greek variety. Forever and ever amen! The family went in on the theme and were surprised how massive their platter was. Not just size-wise but even the offerings. Come here hungry! You'll be glad you saved room for the baklava :) Glad they fitted us with outdoor dining and heaters at the last minute, super attentive and patient with our requests, especially with an energetic 4-year-old read more

Had lunch here with a friend and thought the food was quite authentic and very prepared. There's a lot of nature light and a nice vibe.

I enjoyed this location and plan to be back. read more

Ambience:5 Food:3 Service:3 Value:2 Return:3 TOUGH AND CHEWY LAMB! This is my second visit within a couple of months, totally my fault in neglecting to write a review when I was here last, for I would have definitely chosen something else from their menu. Aha moment of Yelping's benefit! Charming is this neighborhood restaurant. Great atmosphere and equal distance for a few of us to get together once in awhile. Depending on which server we get, always friendly but some are more attentive than others. Still, we've never been rushed here during a weeknight, leaving the 2-4 of us to leisurely sip bottles of wine, dine, and catch-up! While writing this, *pop* - in the future, I will just stick to their apps for they are the best. Absolutely delicious is their "Ziziki Bread", broiled pita bread with gooey cheese and herbs. Tasty also are their "Calamari", "Greek Tuna Tower", & "Dolmades". Ooo - a fine dinner and great nibbles that'll make! Cheers! read more
