Dunyā Mediterranean Bistro & Wine Bar

This used to be one of my fave spots in the city . Visited after 3-4 years few days back. The atmosphere and vibe of the place is spot on and the service. Just was disappointed with the food in general. The grills were really really dry. I liked the mezze platter though. We went super close to the closing hours so were rushed out a bit. The rose on the menu was quite nice. The price point is a little too high for the quality of the meal. Hopefully it’ll be a better experience next time.

Visited here for family dinner. Reservation is recommended. We ordered meze platter, Brussels sprouts, salad, lamb souvlaki with a bottle of red wine. Food was very tasty. Service was excellent. Highly recommend this place.

Weird place with weird food. I wouldn't call this a Mediterranean restaurant or really a wine bar either. When the borek came to the table like a spring roll, I was confused. 3 for >$10. Moussaka was uh also not what I would call Moussaka. Weird restaurant, I would not go back.

Good options, salmon was amazing, burger was ok. Overall good food and vive, just not our go-to dine in, due to it's loud noise and cramped tables.

Wonderful neighborhood spot. The food is always well prepared and the service super friendly. Fun wine list at such reasonable prices too!

Perfect place for a date night. It is usually packed but we love sitting at the bar. The food is delicious. We usually get the mezze platter and octopus. We’ve also tried the kunefe (small but really yummy). We love the atmosphere here as the bartender and waiters are super nice and they generally leave us to ourselves (a refreshing change from most American places where you get interrupted quite a lot). The decoration is beautiful too. All in all: I definitely recommend Dunya.

Very comfortable vibe. Great service. Lots of wine but no beer options. Great spot for a slightly more formal experience than most of Mediterranean spots in town. Also, Bob’s Donuts a few doors down for dessert!

We made a reservation and when we went they said they couldn’t seat us? There was an open table and she refused to accommodate us. The host said we can only seat us at the bar. WTH??

What an excellent Mediterranean restaurant. The sample platter is a perfect all in one thing to get for two people. I left feeling very full and nourished!

Came here in a group of 3 — we shared the Muhammara, börek, and fries, then got our individual plates. 10/10

3.5/5

The mezze platter has good variety and serving size. V Instagram friendly lol. Falafel was okay, not the best I've had. Hummus and baba ganush were flavorful but could be more hearty and punchy.

The eggplant main entree (Musaka) was pretty mediocre. Soup was decent.

Overall 3.5/5 but rounded down since it is a little expensive for the quality of food imo.
