This was my first time to Meddys, as I live in Austin and was here on business. I'm of Lebanese heritage and I have been taught how to cook many Lebanese dishes, so this may be a bit critical. Overall, the food is clean, portions are large, service fantastic, and I highly recommend a visit.
I saw a menu on Yelp before I visited, and so I knew I wanted the sampler plate. However, that menu is no longer valid, and I am attaching photos of the current menu in April 2024.
All of the dishes are lacking salt, so that is good from a health point of view, but just know that you might need to add some.
The tabouli is freshly made, but is light on the bulger wheat and I would add about 4x as much. Also, it is missing the lemon juice, so ask for 5 or 6 lemon wedgies plus salt and pepper. The small pita breads are awesome as is the hummus. The lentil soup was so much more than just lentils, and it actually seemed like a veggie lentil stew. Very nice.
I also ordered a lamb sharma wrap that was perfect, with strips of onion and diced tomatoes. Awesome.
Here is what they are missing: stuffed grape leaves, they don't exist here; kibbeh balls are not here either.
So, while Meddys misses on the lack of stuffed grape leaves and no kibbeh, it makes up in ambiance, friendliness, and food flavor. One of the servers told me there are 5 or 6 other locations now.
I recommend that they offer the stuffed grape leaves and kibbeh on Tuesdays. Y not?
