We love fun and innovative flavors, hit the spot for certain.
Tina tartar was splendid, olives are fresh and tasty, wagyu was cooked perfectly.

For dessert, have the yogurt...“

“Just had our best Cava experience to date! We find one every time we’re in DFW, but this was our first time at this location. Englan was so animated and patient while our kids ordered, we loved the outdoor seating area, and the food was great, as always.“

“Wonderful food and I enjoyed talking with our waiter!“

“Used to love eating at this Luna Grill under prior manager. Now ALL their focus is on catering and to go. I was in line ahead of someone and mgr pulled him ahead of me as he said he wanted a to go and he ordered. And when I ate here late week I waited over 25 min for my meal as they were backed up for catering. Will not be eating here again for a while. Make sure you have lots of time if eating in as they don’t care about you.“

“Excellent food and very great service Nezar“

“This place was so good!!! The chicken shawarma was amazing (very generous with the pita) and we were totally surprised by the cauliflower too. Would 100% recommend. They also take payment in the inKind app which is great. Probably one of the best places we have tried in Dallas.“

“I’ve been coming here for over a year and this place never ceases to amaze me. The food is always consistently fresh and delicious, they’ve got so many options, and the customer service is outstanding. Javed assisted me and was spectacular. Definitely recommend!!!!!“

“We ordered philly falafel sandwich and it was out of the world. Taste was so delicious and fulfilling. We will go there often now. Thank you.“

“Outstanding food and service. Had dinner there last night with my girlfriend and the staff went above & beyond. Food was incredible - we will be back.“

“Horrible customer service experience tonight at CAVA. We’ve never been to the new CAVA by our house. So we thought we’d take a walk over there and give it a try. We walked in and there were four employees behind the counter. I don’t know how much more obvious we could’ve been that we were brand new to the CAVA experience, but not one of the four employees even greeted us. We took a moment to look at the menu and decided to have the lemon chicken bowl, and the falafel wrap. There were no prices listed for drinks. You should fix that. We literally had to stand there while they kept walking around looking at us and not even saying hello. Finally someone asked if they could help us. I said I’d like the falafel wrap and he promptly walked away without asking what my dining companion wanted. We didn’t know where to stand so we went back to the beginning of the service line. Finally the second guy asked if there was something else we wanted. I told him I wanted the lemon chicken bowl as well. They made up our food silently, no eye contact, no conversation. We got to the checkout and the lady was absolutely unhelpful and unfriendly. We paid for our meal and went and sat down. The food was delicious but the inhospitable attitude of the staff was palpable and disappointing. Something needs to be done about the greeting and ordering experience. Systems need to be in place where people feel welcome. If the food weren’t so good, I definitely would never go back. I’m hoping someone will see this and make some effort to put a system in place where people are made to feel welcome at these new restaurants, otherwise, you are doomed. There are literally five other restaurants in the shopping center where this new CAVA is located. If customers want to be treated better, and they only will be treated better at other restaurants, CAVA will close down very quickly.“

“There is more to La Bodega than its delicious rotisserie chickens. Make sure to check out their varied menu full of healthy and tasty options. I'm partial to the chicken panzanella salad and the chicken giardinieria sandwich. The crispy potatoes and mixta salad are great as well. 🍗🥗“

“chill and cool spot to hang. Easy going vibe“

“I brought my brother here for the first time and he absolutely loved it! Not only is the food always fresh and stations always clean anytime I come but the staff is super friendly and always greeting everyone with a smile. My favorite cava to come to in Dallas!“

“We were just avoiding traffic and Sevan caught our eye. We pulled in around 2:30pm and were SERVED. The food options were what you would expect at an authentic Mediterranean spot. The specials were perfect! The salad and Gyro were huge! I’m a big dude and it was plenty! I even had to box some up. If you like something a little heavier try the Kashmir Chicken. So delicious. The chef checked on us and made our day :)“

“The food here is awesome... fresh and tasty. I eat a Cava bowl almost every day and there are so many options that I never get bored. My favorite is the Harissa Avocado bowl with spicy chicken. I would highly recommend for healthy, delicious food.“

“Love the cheese and meat pies. In fairness, love everything we’ve had the multiple times we’ve been.“

“I had a great experience at CAVA NorthPark Center thanks to Malcom and Allie. Both of them provided excellent service friendly, professional, and attentive throughout my visit. They made sure everything was just right with my order and really went above and beyond to create a welcoming experience. It’s not often you come across staff that make you feel valued as a customer, but Malcom and Allie definitely did. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“I saw the restaurant advertised on Dallas Halal Buzz. We wanted to try a different cuisine. The restaurant did not disappoint!“

“I love this place, we always order burgers very often but today I found a piece of plastic or rubber in my meat. For the owners, please be careful, I will keep ordering food from you but pay attention when your guys prepare food. Still five stars for this place.“

“The cashier lady’s is so rude and not friendly“

“Impeccable service and unbelievable delicious food!“

“Best Lebanese food not just in Dallas but probably anywhere—a huge asset for the neighborhood that I hope never changes. I certainly hope they don’t listen to some of the reviews calling the space “run down”—the whole point is this is a top quality neighborhood restaurant with class and authenticity, not a slick PE-backed popup chain. It was the favorite lunch spot of Stanley Marcus (cofounder of Neiman Marcus), whose taste assuredly exceeded that of anyone who would complain about having to walk through the kitchen to reach the bathroom.“

“Great Experience“

“An Amazing Experience at La Pasha!
La Pasha is one of the best restaurant and hookah lounges I’ve ever visited. The food is fresh and full of flavor, the hookah is smooth with great flavor options, and the service is truly top-notch. Clean, relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommended!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“This was my first time coming here and i love the food ! The service was amazing too ! Carla was such a great help ! She walked me through all the ingredients and explained how it all works. I seriously love this place now ! Im definantly telling all my friends about CAVA“

“Cavalli was an amazing experience. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the stunning decor and warm ambiance. The space feels both modern and inviting, with a cultural touch that sets the tone for a unique and memorable evening.

The food was incredibly flavorful, with an authentic taste that’s hard to find these days. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared, and the presentation was just as impressive as the taste. The drinks were on point, perfectly complementing the overall vibe, and the hookah was a fun, relaxing addition to the evening. The prices were fair and exactly what I expected to pay.

I was lucky to attend Qawwali night as well which brought so much energy and soul to the night. Cavalli really stood out for how seamlessly it brought everything together from the ambiance to the service. This place isn’t just a restaurant, it truly is an experience and I look forward to coming back again.“

“Visiting from out of town, I was hot, tired and hangry when I stumbled upon Maya’s. What an oasis!“

“I think I found my new favorite place. Impressive selection of fresh produce and pantry staples. Love the grass-fed meat.“

“Beautiful night, so we sat outside and had our magnificent appetizers that defy culinary senses. From the elegance in plating to the multilevel of depth in each dish was the most delicious and unique food I've had in Dallas. I am eager to try their new menu when it is presented. The outdoor seating allows a perfect ambiance with the subtle lighting and the foot traffic that surrounds the various shops and eateries in The Village. I use you to try Anise for its perfect plates of culinary delights .“

“We had a excellent meal. The waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu and made recommendations based on dietary needs.“

“Lovely place to eat ! And great service“

“I recommend eating lunch here every week! The buffet is the best on the market. Everything is so fresh, nutritious and especially delicious. This is my go to place to meet clients or friends. Anytime I introduce a new person to this place it becomes their new place.“

“Evening was great! Loved the staff!“

“Second time in and honestly this is the best pita in Dallas. Ingredients are fresh and the food is a delicious take on traditional Mediterranean with a few fun fusion option on the menu. This is a great spot for a causal night or a large happy hour with friends. Patio will be great for the fall!

Personal recommendations are the chicken schnitzel (I swear it works!), broken chicken pita, and the lamb. Oh and don’t sleep on the hummus,truly the best hummus I’ve ever had.“

“Delicious cuisine, friendly staff, attention to detail,inviting. Sparkling clean. Wonderful atmosphere. Highly recommend,will return and invite friends.“

“Great Food , Great Service and did I say Great Food!“

“Brunch buffet was great. Authentic taste Definitely will go again with the family“

“So healthy!!!!! Loved it!“

“My husband and I are on a mission this year — every month we’re trying foods we’ve never had before. May was all about Parisian and Mediterranean flavors, so we decided to check out a place called Sahara, and wow. Just wow.

First off, when you pull up, it’s in a shopping center with plenty of parking. There are beautiful green plants outside that make the entrance feel really welcoming. When you walk in, the vibe is calm and cozy — tables, booths, soft music, and just a relaxing atmosphere. We grabbed a booth and got started.

Since we’ve never had Mediterranean food before, we didn’t really know what to expect. But let me tell you — the flavors popped! We started with water (super cold and refreshing) and then came the dips: creamy hummus and this white dip that had yogurt and cucumber in it (I think it’s called lebni?). I had never heard of that in my life, but it was so good with the warm, fluffy pita bread.

Then came the meat — we tried a variety of kebabs, and every single one was juicy, tender, and full of flavor. You could tell they marinate it with care. It wasn’t just food — it was a whole flavor experience. The staff even came by and explained how they prepare the meats, which we really appreciated.

And the rice! Okay, the rice was totally different than what we’re used to. It was long, fluffy, and cooked in a way that made it feel light but still full of flavor. Definitely not your average rice — and we loved it.

There were a few families there, everyone seemed to be enjoying their meals, and the energy in the place felt very “come as you are, stay as long as you want.” Even though it’s a small business, the food quality and service honestly felt like a high-end spot. It was our first Mediterranean meal, and it won’t be our last — especially not at Sahara.

If you’ve never tried this kind of food, don’t be scared. Your taste buds might just get the surprise of their lives. Ours sure did — and they’re already asking to go back.“

“اكل ولا غلطه ماشاءالله شاورما وبروستيد الله يباركلكم“

“Hannah was amazing! A few minutes before closing, I entered the restaurant to take advantage of the Veterans Day free meal. Hannah smiled from the moment I entered and left the restaurant. Her energy is positive and is felt throughout my visit.

Additionally, she addressed me by name and made me feel like a valued customer. Thank you for being a great representation of the company and for providing superb service.

By the way, the chicken gyro was delicious! I will add this restaurant to my favorites list and recommend it.“

“Great place great environment“

“It's absolutely phenomenal!
I can not recommend this place enough! The flavors were authentic, fresh, and vibrant—each dish was a culinary masterpiece. The lamb gyro & spicy potatoes melted in my mouth!

If you’re a fan of Mediterranean cuisine (or even if you’re new to it), this is the spot to try. I’ll definitely be back!“

“My new fav spot for quick bites, smoothies, and juice…. The service was very good and the place is very clean, the food came out in nice representation and was sooo yummy. Their hours and the parking you can’t beat it. I’ll be right you too must try it“

“Went here for my bachelorette and it was amazing, amazing for photo opps and Kristin is literally the best! She is just everything you want in a server! I 10000000/10 recommend this place and Kristin!“
