Terra Mediterranean

I recently visited Terra Mediterranean Grill in Plano, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish! The ambiance is cozy yet modern, perfect for both a casual meal or a special night out. The service was impeccable—friendly staff who made sure everything was perfect. Now for the food—absolutely delicious! The fresh hummus, flavorful lamb, and perfectly seasoned shawarma were standout dishes. Everything tasted authentic, with a perfect balance of spices. The buffet had a great selection, and I loved the fresh, vibrant salads. Whether you’re a Mediterranean food lover or trying it for the first time, Terra will not disappoint. I can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend!

Fabulous place! The upstairs venue was great for our gathering of 38 or so. It had a bar, served food, and we set up for a special singer. The staff is exceptionally nice. Very helpful. The food was delicious! Such tender meat and the falafel was uniquely delightful.

Ordered lamb Moussaka, saffron chicken mushroom, lamb burger. All are delicious. And they do a great job of taking the "gamey" taste out of the lamb. The pita is so fluffy/chewy and perfectly baked in their brick fire oven. Would come back again

We love Terra! Terra is located in The District outside the Willow Bend Mall. The ambience of the restaurant is welcoming, the food is delicious, and the staff are friendly and attentive. My husband always orders the Lamb Burger. The burger includes a generous amount of feta, arugula &, cucumber with an even more generous side of fries. I ordered the Kafta kabab. It comes with a generous side a saffron rice and a pile of sautéed vegetables. Exquisite. We started with deep-fried calamari. That too was a very good and a very generous serving. We took a lot home. The draft beer selection included local craft beers so that is what I ordered. Highly recommend Terra for an enjoyable evening out in no small part because of the restaurant staff. Update: We visited again this weekend and ordered our usual fried calamari for an appetizer. Wonderful (and filling). Then we both ordered the Kofta kebab for our entree: Three skewers that come with sautéed vegetables and pilaf. Pita bread comes with every meal. The kofta is delicious. It has a little heat so keep that in mind if you need to stay away from spicy foods. Otherwise, it is flavorful and perfectly grilled. We visited again because we really like Terra and because Terra was a participating restaurant in this year’s Taste of Plano benefiting the Hendrick Scholarship Foundation. It is important to us to patronize local businesses that give back to the community. We chatted with the owner and thanked him for supporting Hendrick. He said that Terra has been a supporter for several years and he plans to continue to participate in future years. We love that. Highly recommend this wonderful restaurant.

The food is amazing, especially the lunch buffet. I love the saffron rice with the saffron chicken and the gyro meat. The atmosphere is clean. I gave it three stars only because it’s kind of sterile and cold not that I expected it to look like Cracker Barrel on the inside. I would definitely recommend this place especially if you want a variety of food and want to try out some yummy Mediterranean dishes.

One of my favorite places in the Dallas/Plano area!! Been here a number of times - great ambience, staff is very friendly, and the menu items are always very fresh and high quality. Place always looks clean and well-kept. Saffron chicken, salmon kebabs, beef kebabs, chicken kebabs are all really good. Appetizers and salads good as well. Based on my experiences, I would highly recommend.

Went as a 20 party family dinner outing on the occasion of my cousin's birthday. The food was so delicious. The saffron chicken curry was to die for, along with the gyro. The saffron rice n pita bread was so good, too. Also had the lamb chops, which was very tasty too. I will try to go to the restaurant again. The atmosphere withik the restaurant is beautiful, but right outside, there's so much of the general sitting area to enjoy as well!!

Had a great book club meeting/dinner here. We received great service and a nice big room with plenty seating for 20+ people. Outside of the hummus, and saffron rice, I was pretty disappointed in the saffron chicken it was extremely watered down and tasteless. Like no flavor or seasoning in the curry at all, but the rice was delicious! I’d come back and just try something different. The ambiance was nice and the service was good so it’s worth coming back. Update: The foods still very mid; but once again we received great service. 12/12/23

Terra's is a go to place any time we are in DFW. The service is fast and friendly. The big windows gives you a lot of bright sunlight to view this amazing... and I mean AMAZING food. W usually go for the lunch buffet and it never disappoints! If you're new to Mediterranean food or a long tome lover, you will vastly enjoy Terra's.

Went here with co workers for a birthday lunch. Never been before so I was excited to try it because I've seen this place countless number of times. The lunch was buffet style. Idk if their dinner is also buffet but I was under the impression it was an order your meal type of place, but I actually like the buffet style. Service was good but minimal since its buffet. Had no issues with wait times or anything. I tried a lot of things and sadly can't remember many of the name but I do remember I loved the beef and lamb kabob/skewers with the garlic sauce they had. The naan bread was delicious per usual. I also liked the rice they had. They have plenty of options and the chicken options were also good. I would definitely return here and try some more options!

Meet up to catch up - Selected location for convenience - glad I visited. Service was very good as the attendant checked on us periodically. Wasn't sure what to order for a friend who had sent their interest but wasn't on menu and they helped to clarify. Tried the grilled veggies - which is a very nice helping a steaming items from natures garden. Did get a little warm in my location but was because I wasn't too far from the flaming grill. Friend had a lamb burger that looked juicy and well dressed. Others had offerings with generous helpings. I will need to return to try the lamb or kebobs as that grill is on point.

The weekend buffet is such a deal! Same high quality food from the regular menu plus their delicious rice pudding. The restaurant is always clean, service is kind of slow but I think they have been low staffed recently. Overall, you can not go wrong coming here for the buffet or simply for lunch/dinner any day of the week.

Fries are soggy but lamb burger is good! Service is good. Would like to come again. Ambience and service is very good!

Really a disappointing experience. Went for a birthday lunch with family. We paid $100 for 4 buffets only to discover that they did not have the usual falafel option on the buffet. As vegetarians, the falafel is one of the few entree options on the buffet. After I spoke to the hostess she told us that the falafel machine was broken. I told her that we should have been informed before we paid for the buffet and she just said sorry. No refund or discount. Will not be visiting here again. They should have the courtesy to inform customers when a key buffet option is not available. We made a plate of the salad options and left to another restaurant.

Been here several times, it's $20 for lunch buffet and it's located in a nice area. Love the food! They have a fair amount of options, not too many, but definitely enough. I like a lot of their selections, they make it fresh and the ingredients and cooking is so nice. They have a sauce bar with hummus and other Mediterranean sauces, a veggie and salad section, and a section with bread, meat, and rice. Drinks are included! I like the sauce in the saffron chicken, I add it over the rice and eat the chicken kabobs. The chicken kabobs are so good! They grill them fresh and they are juicy yet tender with a smoky flavor! Their falafels were a little dry and crunchier than I like, but everything else is so good! They have seared veggies and fried seasoned potatoes which are great too! Love the food here! Service is great, they check on everyone for drinks, refills, clearing plates, etc. Interior is also gorgeous, great for casual dates or eating with friends in a classier looking environment.

I have eaten here many times and it's never a disappointment. Wonderful food selection and we enjoy the lunch time with the buffet style service. The staff is always friendly and quick to offer assistance. You can grab a drink and enjoy the bar area other outside patio. Make sure you stop by and give they a try. Enjoy!

Worst service! I went for a corporate lunch today and I was late. When I approached the cashier to pay, she was so rude and complained that the party was only booked for 25 people and more people kept coming. I said I'm not eating a free lunch and I was going to pay for my food. She said she would allow this one last time , as if she was doing me a favor. The whole experience was terrible. I was getting ready to walk away before my team convinced me to stay and one of their managers apologized for the behavior of their staff. This is terrible and they need to train their staff to treat customers better. I will never go back again and absolutely will not recommend. Oh btw, the food was just average.

Lunch buffet here is a must! Currently $25/person, which includes a soft drink and tax. They recently changed the lunch buffet to only Fri-Sun. Lots of variety, including vegetarian options if you need. Salad, sauces, kabobs, bread, soups... basically all the Mediterranean food you'd want. Interior is spacious, with some outdoor seating as well. I like it better than Alibaba, which they also own.

The food service was very good. Food was great . Love the creamy Hummus. The interior was nice but wanted to seat outside but needs decorative improvements. Too bad and it was a beautiful day!

Authentic MIDDLE-EASTERN accentuated with a touch of GREEK cuisine at the TERRA MEDITERRANEAN RESTAURANT at the Shops at Willow Bend in Plano, TX! Check it out! You know you are a connoisseur of MIDDLE-EASTERN CUISINE when you can taste and instantly differentiate between Souvlaki, Gyro, Doner Kebap, Kafta Kebab, Shish Tawook and Shawarma, and trace these to the lands they originate from. As well, you need to be able to clearly discern between Hummus, Baba Ghanoush, Tahina and Tzatziki, as well as their places of origin. Having studied and lived in the heartland of the Middle East in ISRAEL (I earned my International MBA there) - the source of two the three great monotheistic religions (Judaism and Christianity) I can say I really know my Middle Eastern/ Mediterranean cuisine well. I can taste meat off a rotisserie (Gyro, Doner, Kafta or Shawarma) and tell whether the recipe is sourced in Lebanon, Greece, Egypt, Israel or Turkey. I can take a bite of a falafel and usually tell whether it is sourced from Egyptian or Lebanese beans/recipes. However, as a culinary anthropologist, I am passionate re: not only discovering great cuisine, but also deciphering insights into how these culinary delights have bridged cultures and civilizations! Besides rice/risotto, pasta/noodles, fried potatoes, fried eggplant and tomato puree, one would be hard-pressed to find delicacies that have transcended borders, religions and cultures as much as the LAMB/ BEEF/ CHICKEN/ PORK cooked slowly on a vertical rotisserie (see photo below) and then served up in a hollowed-out flatbread, or alternatively over a bed of rice with salad and dips like HUMMUS, BABA GHANOUSH, TZATZIKI, TAHINI and TIROKAFTERI et al! I am of course referring to the Quintessential Greek/ Turkish/ Middle-Eastern delicacy called 'GYRO' (pronounced "Eero") in GREECE, 'DONER KEBAP' in TURKEY and the ubiquitous 'SHAWARMA' across the Middle-East comprising ISRAEL, EGYPT, IRAQ, SYRIA, LIBYA and LEBANON! Just think for a moment how these three cultures comprising orthodox Christians from Greece, the Sunni Arabs from the Middle-East and the Ottoman Turks who fought each other for hundreds of years (conquest, plunder and even genocide!), actually celebrate the very same culinary delight with minor variations....this truly is a bridge across cultures, religions and civilizations and continues to tantalize many of us to this day! We checked out TERRA MEDITERRANEAN at the Shops at Willow Bend in Plano, TX, and were impressed by the authentic MIDDLE-EASTERN (Lebanese) with a touch of GREEK, orchestrated by brothers-restauranteurs ADAM and JALAL CHANAA from LEBANON, who opened their very first restaurant in the DFW Metroplex in 1989 and have evolved their offering into two restaurant brands TERRA and ALI BABA both of which offer high quality MIDDLE-EASTERN cuisine in a family friendly ambiance accentuated by compelling customer service. I ordered the staples FALAFEL with TAHINI with their LENTIL SOUP and CORIANDER POTATOES, SHAWARMA (they call this "GYRO" for their American clientele, but do serve this up with ZIZIKI!), HUMMUS, BABA GHANOUSH and my favorite salad - TABOULEH with the Parsley that lights me up, and enjoyed them for their flavors, freshness and authenticity. My family had the OVEN ROASTED TROUT and the GRILLED SEA BASS which were fresh but we could have done without the cream sauces that detracts from the healthy eating (note to self for the encore expedition!), especially for seafood aficionados like us. Our friends checked out their LAMB and CHICKEN KABABS and were suitably impressed. Please check out my annotated photos below. What makes TERRA / ALI BABA fairly novel amongst all the Middle-Eastern restaurants in the DFW Metroplex is the presence of classic GREEK STAPLES like MOUSSAKA, FETA CHEESE with OLIVES, GREEK SALAD, ZIZIKI sauce, FLATBREAD with FETA and LAMB CHOPS on their Menu, which enable you to "bridge cultures and continents" on your plate and also indulge your palate - please check out TERRA with your family and friends and let me know your impressions in the thread below.

Love this place so much. 1. Food is amazing so fresh. and yummy. 2. Service is great. We had our party here and we have 11 people. Anna was amazing. 3. Great location. Perfect place to chill and hang out. 4. Great ambience. Highly recommend this place. We are coming back!

This place is amazing. We always go for the lunch buffet. The buffet is all-you-can-eat. The ambiance is pleasant, with comfortable chairs and nice lighting. The waitstaff always make sure you have a drink, and clear dishes efficiently. The real star here is the food. They have some incredible salads, some of the best hummus ever, and everything is always incredibly fresh. Don't miss out on the garlic sauce either! My husband loves olives, and they have a great variety that he says are not to be missed. As for hot dishes, the coriander potatoes, cauliflower, roasted vegetables, rice, are all incredible. Honestly, I don't think I have ever tried something I didn't like here. For dessert, there is fresh fruit salad and a rich and creamy rice pudding, which is perfectly complimented by a dash of cinnamon you can add yourself if you want (and you do want). Cannot recommend this place enough!

I love their healthy tasty food here at Terra Mediterranean! It was so Fresh and all of their delicious dishes taste so good! My family and I had the buffet and we tried it all! At the end we all left feeling so satisfied and full. I highly recommend Terra Mediterranean food!

This place is incredible! A perfect spot for lunch or dinner. Their hummus is so flavorful yet simple. But the best thing here is their meats. The chicken is soooooo juicy and cooked to perfection with a perfect balance of seasoning. The potatoes are so incredibly crispy on the outside yet soft and pillowy on the inside, with a strong garlic flavor. Everything is excellent, even down to the vegetables they serve with meat dishes. Highly recommend!

My favorite Mediterranean buffet place. I was so sad when the irving location was permanently closed after covid, but now I'm super happy to find this location closer to home. Nice ambiance and service as well. Week lunch $20 per person (including tax+drink) Weekend lunch $25 per person (including tax+drink) Love every food that they have!

This is not a review, bc we didn't get to eat there that day we went, bc no buffet during the week, only on weekends. We went right back to Ali Babas in Richardson. The food there is soooo good. Although prices have increased a bit, we'd still come here, bc the food is delicious!!!! I would like to try the buffet at one in West Plano(outside the mall)on weekend eventually, so I can write a review about it, but I can see why they don't have buffet on weekdays, bc it's kind of dead, so I see that it's a waste, I think.

Wasn't a big fan. Dined with my family for early dinner on Wednesday night. We were greeted immediately and sat down. Server took way too long to introduce herself even though there were only 4 tables present. Food came out quickly and was decent. Beef kabobs was excellent while hummus, feta cheese and other sides were just ok. We said we will not be back, at least for dinner. May try their buffet

Good service Tasty food Love atmosphere Tasty Lamb & shrimp kabobs Rice flaky & favorable. Writhe the visit & pricing is good

Best hummus hands down. Also absolutely love the lamb mousaka. Terra Mediterranean is my go to for anything I need to bring to a party.

Service was ok. Food was great though. Saffron chicken is really good. Ask for extra rice and mushrooms. Definitely enough to give two meals worth. We went on a Saturday with a reservation for a large group and had plenty of seating, noise level great also for a group. Will definitely itely return to try more things. One con: waitress cleared leftover appetizers without asking if anyone wanted them. There was a ton of food left. Would have been nice to take the food we paid for home to finish later.

Food is okay and edible, not a go to place for a great experience. The music they had the night we were there was just some american music (if youre looking for european music this aint the place)

Had a great book club meeting/dinner here. We received great service and a nice big room with plenty seating for 20+ people. Outside of the hummus and saffron rice, I was pretty disappointed in the saffron chicken it was extremely watered down and tasteless. Like no flavor or seasoning in the curry at all, but the rice was delicious! I'd come back and just try something different. The ambiance was nice and the service was good so it's worth coming back.

Mediterranean Food Lovers, Enjoy!!! Right at the shops of Willow Bend Mall, this amazing restaurant has a beautiful and spacious indoor and outdoor seating. It's buffet style but well thought out to keep the crowds flowing. Food is replenished constantly and there are managers monitoring food at all times, to ensure fresh, hot, good quality food! I enjoyed all the sauces and dips like hummus, taziki, tahini. They had an array of salads and veggie items and deserts. I also loved the Zatar bread, probably the best I've had in the DFW area!! And for all the carnivores, the BEST part was the selection of meat dishes!! Chickens, lamb, beef, fish...all done multiple ways... kebabs, roasted, grilled, in a curry, and all so uniquely delicious and amazingly flavorful! The buffet is a bit pricey BUT in my opinion justified with the amount good quality and quantity food! Definitely worth trying!

The place smelled delicious. Walked in. The hostess just stared at me. Never acknowledged me. I said hi we have 5 people. She said oh we're full there's high seating if you want that. I said yes that be great, I just need to use the restroom. Leaving the rest of my party. I went to the restroom thinking she'd sit them. I came back to them sitting there and a different group was being helped. So we walked in and sat down confused not sure what was going on. I wish I could say our experience here was as good as the place smelled. We ended up leaving. What terrible customer service.

The service, the food, the ambiance - 10/10! We came here to celebrate a birthday dinner and had about 14 guests. The waiter served us in a timely manner, recommended her favorites, and was so patient with all of us. She was also nice enough to save the cake we brought in their fridge and bring it out once we were done with dinner. Chicken Kebabs - the juciest and most tender kebabs I've ever had! Sea Bass - I am not a huge seafood person, but this was good! The skin was crispy and the fish was perfectly cooked. Saffron Chicken - OMG 100% recommend this! Being indian, it's always hard to find a good curry based chicken that is tasty! The chicken wasn't dry and the sauce was delicious with the saffron rice! If you have any celebrations, please book your party here!

We were very disappointed with this restaurant. We have gone previously and the food was very fresh. We went today. The buffet price has gone up a lot. The food was not fresh. Some meat was dry. It did not seem they replaced the food often. There were only a few items that were good.

FYI. They changed the buffet days to Friday to Sunday only. But don't worry Ali Baba 7 days a week ($20 with drinks) is 10 minutes away and comparable to Terra. I believe they are sister restaurants.

Mediterranean Lunch Buffet has good selection of items and includes a drink in the price. Food is all good and nice flavor and had authentic taste. The Smoky baba ghanoush ,creamy hummus, lambs and chicken was delightful. Outdoor seating available. What's convenient is that the restaurant's entrance is accessible from outside the mall, making it easily accessible. The restaurant's ambiance and excellent customer service create a perfect meal. If you are mediterranean food lovers and this place definitely worth a visit. Although the buffet may come with a higher price, I personally find it justified due to the substantial amount of high-quality food provided. The combination of great quality and generous portions makes the price worthwhile.

What a great yummy place to have dinner! Service was amazing and ambiance was great! Great tasting food! We loved everything we ordered. The lamb chops were my favorite! Definitely a great place to order a variety and share with family :)

Amazing selection, great waitresses who are on top of things, and a nice atmosphere. Go for the lunch buffet!

I wish they still had there irving location. the plano location is fine but it's missing that something extra. price for the amount of the buffet is decent but not amazing. service and ambience was good.

A lot of choices, even for vegetarians. Everything is delicious. I just wish they had baklava

Awful food, worse service. Can't recommend and won't be coming back but the area is nice

Great place !! So accommodating. We had a big party. It was easy to make reservations. Service was impeccable. Food was fresh and delicious. Thank you Terra !

Terra Mediterranean is tucked in The Shops at Willow Bend. So parking is very easy and plenty and it is right off Dallas North Tollway. Came here for lunch for a little gathering. They have a nice outdoor and indoor dining space that can accommodate large gathering. They had a lunch buffet and it was 24.95$ per person (drinks are included). Once you are seated someone will come to your table and take your drink order. The buffet was amazing for lunch! They had a great selection of salad, sides (potatoes, rice and vegetables), meat (chicken, lamb, kabobs and falafel), appetizers and soup. Definitely come hungry when you come here for their buffet. I tried to have at least a bite of everything and my absolute favorite side were their roasted vegetables and chicken dishes. Also their tomato soup was very delicious! Friendly staff who continuously checked on you if you needed any refills or cleaned up the empty plates. I also noticed for a weekday lunch it got busy pretty fast. Definitely a great place to come and hang out with friends!

Service is great, the food is excellent, the golden half chicken is the bomb with the garlic sauce, my gf has had trout and shrimp plates and said they were great , have been there many times and always get great service and tasty wonderful food , I give it 5 out of 5 stars

The place was nice and well designed. The food was good. The service was terrible. It took a long time to place our order and we didn't see the server at all after the food was delivered. We had to leave the table to find someone to bring our check and to get a to go container. The staff had a strong persona of indifference toward customers.

Food was fine- Sunday lunch buffet, the saffron chicken is always what draws us back but we felt this time it tasted quite different- bland and watered down. The review is really for the staff: there was a gentleman I think his name was David that basically was doing everything to keep the place running smoothly. We all noticed how hard he was working and stayed happy during it all! Really rare to see that now. Will still be back despite the saffron chicken- going for pre Covid quality again and more desserts.

Was recommended to come here, so we stopped by for a birthday. The set up at the bar seemed cheap to me. The inside of the restaurant was great, but the buffet needs some help visually. Just felt like you were at an old high school cafeteria. The flavors were good, I just wish they'd had some desert options. Rice pudding isn't really up there on people's top desert list. At least have an ice cream machine or some baklava out?

The good: the restaurant is pretty well located, and it has a beautiful atmosphere. It's in like a courtyard with a bunch of other places, really nice. It has both indoors and outdoors seating. The patio is beautiful and they played live music (it was a Friday). Seating is very convenient specially for big parties (+10) the patio seating is smaller I would say the tables are up to 4. Prices are very reasonable specially for a place that nice (see menu attached). They have a good selection of wines and cocktails. Restrooms are in the small size, but clean. We made a reservation and he literally zero waiting time. Food was tasty specially the appetizers. They have complementary parking, or you can park in the mall public mall parking, and the walk is actually enjoyable. The not so good: the food took a bit too long to arrive, we were full of pita bread by the time it arrived . Plus, mine was on the overcook side. They don't have a kid menu. The verdict: really nice place for group dates or family night out. The are makes the place very charming. Thumbs up! You should certainly try it!

Very nicely decorated restaurant with a nice ambiance. Service from the time we entered the door until we left was excellent. At one point our server was busy with a new table that was seated but another server came and checked on us to see if we needed anything. That is excellent and just doesn't happen anywhere. All credit to the staff and management for that. As for food. We loved that they offer olive oil and fresh pita at the table. We also ordered hummus which was excellent. It had a more creamy texture than we often see and we thought that was great. Now we prefer it that way. My wife ordered the rotisserie chicken and raved about it. The chicken was moist and yet the skin was marvelously crisp. It was served with a thick garlic sauce on the side which added to the chicken. The jasmine rice which we both had was flavorful and very nice. I had the Kafka kabobs which were excellent. They were seasoned perfectly and had a nice crispy crust on the outside which is perfect for kabobs. Accompanied by an excellent mix of vegetables which I also enjoyed I would highly recommend the Kafka kabobs.

The food was delicious - especially the lamb chops! Beware these are large portions so maybe even 2 can share a plate. Service was good - ur server took a little longer at times, however it was to be expected, because the place was packed inside and outdoors. If you're in the area or craving Mediterranean food, I wouldn't pass this spot up!

Took clients to a business dinner at Terra. I have been many times to Terra and Ali Baba on personal trips. With this group we had a mix of vegans and vegetarians (along with meat eaters). We ordered a bunch of apps (a mezza) and everyone thought it was delicious. Very comfortable, and well attended to. Will come back to this location again for sure!

Clean and well lit atmosphere that felt cozy and comfortable. Friendly wait staff, fresh food and delicious selection on the lunch buffet. Flavorful healthy fare and reasonable price for the lunch buffet. We will be back!

Extremely rude front desk person with a lot of attitude and claiming this restaurant is her uncle's. After we complained about her attitude we were told we are not welcome here again and do not need to come again. Fortunately we will never go back to this place. Very rare you come across a restaurant with unwelcoming people anywhere in DFW or in general.

The afternoon buffet is excellent, and has everything on the a la carte dinner menu. The mid-day buffet is now only on Fridays through Sundays. There are a lot of vegetarian options, plus grilled lamb, chicken, falafel, etc.... The $25.00 per person charge includes a soft drink and tax. The servers always are pleasant and refill your chosen drink frequently. The restaurant has nice ambience and a large patio overlooking a fountain. The adjacent mall will be going through a major remodel/expansion in the coming months.

Food is outstanding here as well as the service. The flavorful sides and entrees from the herbs and spices are unique to Mediterranean dishes, and are a favorite of mine. They gave us a lot of food- portions are very generous. The lamb chops were especially good. I highly recommend this place even if you don't live in the area, it is worth the drive. Nice bar and patio area too.
