Dalia Mediterranean Grill & Cafe

Gosh, what a hidden little gem. Driven past this place 100x without ever paying it any attention until my friends invited us here for dinner. So glad they did! It’s delicious! The server seemed kinda new and a little slow, but he had a Second Lady assisting him, and she was amazing. She probably could’ve taken the table by herself. Excellent service. The food was so dang good. Every bite. We stayed inside, but the patio was abuzz with dozens of families enjoying some nice weather. We will be back for sure!

I found this place online and decided to give it a try. It did not disappoint! The food was delicious and the service was top notch. Shoutout to my server Laila for such attentive service. We really enjoy our dinner. The atmosphere was on point and the space is clean and spacious. Will definitely revisit! Highly recommended.

Dalia Grill restaurant was amazing. The food was delicious. Typical Mediterranean food. The vibes were good too. The staffs were super friendly and professional. This is a must go place for Muslim folk. Just FYI if you don’t like smoke i would not recommend you to go there. It’s a Hookah place.

Dalia has been such a great experience for us — truly a hidden gem! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed like family. The hospitality was top-notch, and our server was attentive, kind, and made us feel right at home. The atmosphere was clean, cozy, and beautifully decorated, adding to the overall charm. Now let’s talk about the food — incredible. We ordered the hummus, falafel, and a combo shawarma plate, and everything was fresh, perfectly seasoned, and full of flavor. Some of the best Mediterranean food I’ve ever had! To top it off, they offer hookah, which adds a relaxing and fun element to the experience. We’re already planning our next visit. Highly recommend!

A Hidden Gem with Heartfelt Flavor and Hospitality This was our first visit here and from the moment we walked into Dalia Mediterranean Grill, we were treated like family. The manager personally welcomed us with warmth and genuine hospitality that instantly made us feel at home. Our waiter was phenomenal, attentive, friendly, and on top of everything without ever feeling overbearing. You could tell he truly cared about our experience. And the food… wow. Every bite was bursting with flavor and clearly made with passion and love. You can taste the quality and care that goes into each dish. From the seasoning to the presentation, everything was thoughtfully prepared and absolutely delicious. This isn’t just a meal, it’s a full-on experience rooted in culture, community, and incredible culinary talent. Can’t wait to come back!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – A Hidden Gem You’ll Never Want to Leave I visited Dalia Mediterranean Grill on a Thursday night, and wow what an absolute gem. The service, food, and atmosphere were phenomenal from start to finish. It’s the kind of place where you can meet friends, relax, and stay for hours without even realizing the time has passed. The vibe is warm, welcoming, and filled with the aromas of fresh Mediterranean cooking. It honestly felt like home away from home cozy, vibrant, and full of good energy. A special shoutout to Mohammed, the owner, who was not only present but incredibly attentive and kind. His hospitality made all the difference you can tell he truly cares about the guest experience. If you’re looking for a spot that combines delicious food, a laid-back atmosphere, and top-tier service, Dalia is a must. Can’t wait to come back!

We tried the family platter and did not disappoint so much food and so much leftover. Wow!!!!! Haven’t had food this good in a long time. We will definitely go back. Well worth the money!!

One of the most incredible experiences ever. The food was amazing, like earth shattering, I legit teared up. We live about minutes away and agrees we need to come back often, it's worth it. Quite possibly the best hummus I've ever tasted and the Za'atar Manaeesh was so amazing. Many clearly marked Vegan items and the flavor of all the food was out of this world. Perfectly executed.

Great food and atmosphere Friendly service Definitely recommend it We tried several dishes, all were tasty

Fancier than I thought it was going to be. I came in here late to grab a bite, but felt severely underdressed. A nice spot for a date night or nice family dinner.

I've been wanting to try out this place for a while! Overall, great interior and exterior decor and seating, very clean restaurant in all terms, and good food if you focus on appetizers over entrees. What I would get next time: steak hummus and falafel entree (might consider trying beef shawarma over rice too). Full review: Let's start with the good stuff... the hummus with steak is a great appetizer to share or whole meal honestly. I love the fresh pita with most of the orders, the bread was puffy and steaming hot when it came out. The trio appetizer is not worth it but it did allow me to try the falafel, which were really good, so I definitely recommend trying the falafel platter. The last good thing in food for me was the yellow rice that came with some platters, outstanding rice! Now for the not so good parts... the mixed grill kabab and tikka were average at best, the kibbe needed salt, and the gyro wrap was like a homemade sandwich with not very flavorful gyro. The service was great at first, but then we were almost completely ignored for like 40 mins because they were setting up the tables outside for Saturday night.

KATY, TX 77450 / MEDITERRANEAN / 03-16-24 / TAKEOUT DINNER +The classic hummus is delicious; nice garlic flavor and smooth. +The lamb chops were cooked a nice medium rare, as requested. +The pita bread was freshly-made. -The menu indicates the lamb chops is charcoal grilled, but I did not taste the charcoal flavors. -Some of the lamb chop portions were very small. -The seasonal vegetables were a bit overcooked. -Pricey compared to some of the other Mediterranean spots across Space City; i.e., Al Aseel sells lamb chops for $20.99. What we ordered: 1 Lamb Lollilops with Seasonal Vegetables $36.00 * Entrees are accompanied by turmeric basmati rice, and a choice of: hummus, bab ghannouj, or cilantro jalapeno hummus 1 Classic Hummus with Pita Bread $8.00 Total: $47.63 post-tax

The food is SOOOOO DELICIOUS!!!!! Always trying something new and have yet to be disappointed! Beautiful ambiance perfect for date night, inside or out on the patio!

Great food! The chicken was tender with fantastic flavor. A great option for Mediterranean food in katy. Restaurant is very clean and has a good vibe . I was impressed with the appetizer (kibbeh) ... not many places get this one right. Yummmmmm!!!!

Wow, I ordered on DoorDash and was so impressed by the quality of their food! The ingredients were fresh and dishes were tasty! My favorite thing is the Pistachio Cheesecake, highly recommend it! I'll have to visit the restaurant someday to dine in.

I totally forgot to take a picture. I was last here when the restaurant had another name. It was delicious then and still delicious now. Zeinab was my server and she was very kind! I had the mixed grill trio. This dish was perfect and so delicious. I ordered the lamb lollipops for my husband. This place does not disappoint, I will definitely be back!

Raelyn was amazing ! She made recommendations and was knowledgeable about the menu. Our dinners were absolutely delicious and well presented. And the service was impeccable!

Raise your hand if you love Turkish coffee! A special thank you to Tarator Mediterranean Grill for an amazing lunch. Our waiter, Javi was pure joy and a delight to help guide us on our first visit. My husband and I stayed off with the Classic Hummus and Cilantro Fried Potatoes. The pita bread served to us was piping hot and served almost immediately. We dined on the Greek Salad, Tabbouleh, as well as the lunch item, Chicken Shawarma. We could not finish our meal and had plenty for dinner. Tarator has excellent service, a clean, open space, and incredible Mediterranean cuisine. We will definitely be returning soon!

This place has great food, atmosphere and service. The new owners and management has made great changes and additions to the menu and also added a playground to the outdoor seating. Great for families with little ones that want to enjoy the great outdoor patio with their little ones! Highly recommend!

The food was very good. The bread was delicious, came out piping hot. The hummus was awesome, tasted VERY fresh and so much better than what I can buy at the store. The servers and owners/management were really attentive and concerned that we enjoy our meal. Nice to see service and attentiveness to details are still alive!!

We were going to have dinner at Garson off Richmond but came here and was not disappointed. It was buffet night and it is BYOB and $30 pp (12 under $(22) for the buffet.

Tried this place for lunch on a whim on July 4th because my normal Mediterranean go-to (Fadi's) was closed. I was super impressed. The service was great, the waitress was attentive and explained in detail the dishes we had questions about. We both ended up going with the gyro plate which was amazing. The sauce they put on the veggies was out of this world. I could've eaten a bucket of just those. The hummus was fantastic, tzatziki sauce on point and my two small children really enjoyed the kids chicken shwarma. I will definitely be back!

Food - 8/10 Service - 9/10 Ambience - 10/10 After having a bad experience at harvest bakery, we went to Tarator for lunch. Food was great and the portion sizes were huge. Service was great too but just a little too slow. Ambience 10/10. It's a place where you can spend some nice time with your family. Next time will ask for extra garlic aioli.

Plenty of parking. Once you walk in there is a large seating space that had a live dj and belly dancer. During this time the music is very loud so we decided to sit outside. The outside seating was lovely. Indoors was party for sure. People could get up and dance if they wanted a bit or just sit and enjoy the music. Our waitress was really good. Attentive and gave good suggestions. The cauliflower was great but a little oily. I'd suggest not trying the cilantro jalapeño hummus... it just didn't hit. The beef swarms was very nice especially the baba ganoush! But the best part was the pistachio cheesecake. I loved it. It's a must try (honestly it's what made this 5 stars).

We've eaten here twice now - not sure how I missed reviewing it the first time because it was also fantastic! We've been impressed by the friendly and attentive service both times (thanks to Razaq this time!). The decor is attractive, but simple. The obvious star of the event though is the food! The flavors, the portions, the literal pillows of bread...you really don't need an appetizer because the entrees are generous, but honestly, worst case you take leftovers - the hummus, the garlic sauce, the shawarma, the pickles. Great deal, too!

Good food, friendly service. We were recommended here by friends and enjoyed our dinners. All the food tasted great. My beef shawarma was really tasty and so were the the Phoenician Fries. We topped it off with a baklava, oh yeah!

I've been here twice for dinner, and it was pretty solid both times. I really enjoy their hummus a lot. It's not overly spiced with cumin, or heavy on the tahini, but balanced just right. They also put chopped garlic on top, which I really appreciate. The bread they serve it with is pretty fantastic--soft and pillowy. I've had manouche bil jibweh (basically cheesy bread) which was delicious, and on my most recent visit I had the beef shawarma wrap. It was tender and had good flavor. The prices are on the higher end for Mediterranean food, but the portions are great and so is the service.

We wanted to eat something different and decided to try this place. I was in the mood for Mediterranean food and I've always seen this place but never been to it. The food is really good, the service is just OK which is surprising because they were not packed at all when we went. We will definitely be going back if we are in the mood for this type of food.

Listen, I'm writing this 2 days afterwards and I can still taste the food (in a good way lol)! The service was amazing! Shout out to Rafael! He knew everything and made the best recommendations for someone who had never been there! Everything we got was spectacular! I was shocked with the falafel! Very good and light! The only two negatives, and they were not big at all, was the smokiness of the place with everyone smoking hookah. I wish they had a door cracked or a air system that sucked it all up. It was kinda of just standing there. But wasn't bad at all. The second issue we had was that one of our sides came out I've cold, but Rafael mended that extremely quickly! Overall, we are already ready to come back and experience more of the ambiance and food here! 9/10 recommend!!!

The ambience is good. Service is on point, the only complaint i have is that I wish they offer koobideh kabob. I'm not a fan of lamb so I didn't really enjoyed my meal that much and it's a lil bit pricey.

Man this food is good! We Got the salad, olives & cheese, and the beef Shwarma plate & baklava with Turkish coffee AND THE PITA :) ...all of it incredible. We will be back. We were enjoying the meal so much I didn't think to take a pic.. Also the service was great.

YES YES YES! Cute new spot in the Katy area. Great ambiance, service & food! I highly recommend checking this place out it's so cute & quaint. The staff goes above & beyond all your needs. We came here for my birthday for the 1st time & though they were very short staffed. They made the family affair so wonderful & kind.

My family and I absolutely love this place! Their food is just like the Lebanese food that my Teta makes. Everything that we have tasted here, from the sandwiches to the meats, to the tabouli and hummus, and even more, has been absolutely delicious. We come here every time we want some good home cooking Arabic food but we don't feel like cooking at home. If you have never had Lebanese style Arabic food, come here and order anything off the menu. Even all of my American friends love this food! Give it a try! Also, the service is spectacular! I just love this place. This post is not sponsored or asked to post by the company at all. I just really love this place.

Ate here for the first time this past Saturday and will definitely be back. The Baba Ghanoush, Falafal and Hummus, as well as the Gyro Meat, was fantastic! Best Falafel I've ever eaten and could make a meal just eating those! Service was awesome and it was a beautiful day to sit out on their patio to eat. Run, don't walk to Tarator Mediterranean Grill, you'll thank me later

Their selection of Mediterranean Food is amazingly delicious. Made fresh... from scratch . I was not a super fan of hummus but their selection I fell in love with. I leave a few pics of our dinner tonight. We will be back.

This is definitely the best Mediterranean Place in town. I was very impressed with everything they have: - Place: the place is so nice. They put so much effort into the decor, chairs, and tables. The chairs are so comfortable to sit on and smoke hookah. Their patio is such a vibe with nice seating - Service: They have one of the best services I've ever been to. Badr took very good care of us. I definitely recommend Badr if you ever go to the place - Food: their food is so tasty. Their chicken is juicy and good. Their beef kabob are really good. Hummus is delicious. It is very rare to find a place that does good tabouli and this place does is amazing. (check pictures) - Cleanliness: the place is so clean. They take good care of the place. Even their restrooms smell nice and clean - Price: the prices are so fair because of their portions and quality of their food. I am so glad this place opened in Katy we were missing out on good food and place to chill and smoke hookah. I don't have to drive 45 minutes anymore to go to Houston. BEST PLACE. I definitely recommend it. ALWAYS ALWAYS ask for Badr.

This is our second time here and I must say it was better than our first!!! The first time the plate didn't come with any side so we had to get the tabouli as an appetizer which was expensive because the dish was $20 plus $8 tabouli. This second time we came back I think they changed the menu and it came with the tabouli and hummus for the price of $22 with the beef sharmwa. Our server was great I think he his name was Javier such great humor and funny. If you love garlic don't forget the garlic dip it's a staple! Sorry I don't have a better photo of the food.

We were greeted by host and no wait on Saturday night. Seated immediately. We started with hummus and pita. Pita was hot and fluffy. Amazing pita!! The hummus was very good more on the garlicky side but good. Portion was enough for 3-4 people. We also ordered the fried kibbi and it came with tahini dipping sauce but I prefer mine with hummus. Kibbi was good, although it did not have any kind of nut in the center. Usually it has meat mixture with pine nuts. Main dish was grilled chicken with rice, 1/2 grilled tomato and 1/4 grilled onion. Also came with side of garlic sauce that was really good. Service was great, place was clean and food was good. I would highly return to try something new and highly recommend if you haven't tried

Love the food and ambiance. Waiters are very attentive to the customers. When we went they weren't busy which worries me that they won't be open anymore. Went there a year ago and they still weren't as busy.

Friendly staff and great food. Restaurant itself looks really classy and aesthetic, bathroom as well.

As soon as we walk inside the place was clean and very nice the staff was friendly and very attentive to our needs the food was so good, flavorful and good portions, teas was good and smoothies amazing. Will definitely be back

Terrible service. Waited for an hour and never got served. Awful!. i even went to find the server to tell him we had a plane to catch. All we asked for in the beginning was coffee. Wanted to order food after... never got coffee and never got a chance to order. Terrible!

Brand new interior with a new patio, but uncovered. We loved the hummus and fresh hot pita!! I thought the amount of oil in the middle was great and I could've had more, not an overkill to me at all like one of the other reviews said. Portion size is great! I ate 1/2 my wrap, husband devoured his entirely. Our waiter had just moved here in February and was very personable and accommodating. We will be back to try the menu and use the patio come fall. Really hoping that they will introduce a variety of all the appetizers on one dish.

Good is good not excellent went on Sunday afternoon was almost empty the service is great the place is very elegant try it is all I can say

Other than the fact that service is extremely slow, this was a good place. Food was tasty and the service was friendly. It took literally 15 min before we got service though. Not sure if that's normal or what. We had to waive them over to our table to order our food.

Great service and the food was really good. Had the trio plate and all 3 meat were so tender, juicy, and delicious. Their signature drink mint lemonade smoothie was quite refreshing. Rico was our server and his suggestions were all on point. Will return to try their oven pizza next.

Great food and ambience. Service was good as well. The Restaurant is clean and neat and food was fresh and tasteful.

Outstanding Lebanese Cuisine from the appetizers to the entrees. Not to be missed! Best in Houston!

Will never eat shawarma here. They try to serve gyros instead of shawarma. After talking to waiter was said it was a mistake. Then they served us so called shawarma which was pan fried beef.

I give it two stars because we ordered one time beef Kafka plate for pickup and the food was not good and on top of that when I called i told them with my order I want two sides one hummus and one fattoush when I came to pick it up he charged me for a full order and said you have to say a side and not full order. Excuse me I told you over the phone that I want a side order . The humus is so bad full of garlic and the salad came with a side dressing and not lemony at all. Veryoverpriced place and the food is not good.

Nice looking restaurant on Mason road. The food is typical Mediterranean. It's a small menu (just 2 pages including appetizers, meals, drinks, and desserts). Staff is friendly and the food was served pretty quickly. Expect to spend about $30-35 per person. Portions are reasonable. The meals are fairly stingy on the meat. The chicken shawarma is roughly a chicken breast of shredded meat for $22. They do have a generous portion of hummus, but you don't get much to dip it in. The Baklava is the only thing I would call "bad." It's buttery and a little dry. I hate to say that but if you've had Baklava, you expect a flakey, sweet crust with a lot of honey. Theirs is more of a sandwich. Flakey crust at the top and bottom with a bunch of nuts in the middle and a lot of butter with a little honey.

My friend & I have found this gem of a place on Mason Road. Great ambiance, nice sitting area outside and inside. Food was wonderful and authentic as one could expect. We met Bader who was extremely sweet and polite. I definitely recommend this great restaurant for all middle eastern / Mediterranean food and hookah enthusiasts.

Service is horrible!! Don't bother going unless you have lots of time. Had lunch only 3 tables were occupied and 2 servers. They disappeared after we got our food and we had go find them to get our bill.

Excellent atmosphere-very clean and cool. Bread oven visible and it was served hot.ample servings. Excellent service, too

Amazing The best Mediterranean food. it was a wonderful experience. I love it the Hummus.

Second time in less than a week. What can we say? The food tastes great and reasonably priced. Today we had a couple of appetizers and shared a main course. We had baba ganoush, a middle eastern standard of eggplant purée with herbs and manoush bil jibneh, middle eastern version of a cheese pizza. They were both so filling, we decided to share one main course, mixed grill trio. The beef kebob was tender meat cooked to perfection. The chicken breast must have been marinating for a couple of days that it was not only flavorful but juicy! Finally the Kafta was deliciously spiced. I cheated on my diet and ate carbs, bread and rice. More hummus, tabbouleh (salad) and again the delicious whipped garlic sauce. We think this place is a bargain if you are reluctant to try foods you can't pronounce. Remember, Moses and Jesus grew up on this food. Try it. You'll like it!

Recently went to this beautiful restaurant. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. Service was very friendly and attentive. Will certainly go again.
