Greek in Dallas Observer

Ali Baba is one of Dallas’ best bargains for excellent Middle Eastern food, despite a cramped location with odd hours. We especially like the golden chicken, a half-chicken baked on a rotisserie and crisped under a broiler. Boston Market take note: Whatever they do at Ali Baba, this is how you’re supposed to make rotisserie […]
Progeny of longtime Dallas restaurateur Charlie Venetis, Charlie’s Opa! Grill is a rich cacophony of Greek food, sprawling the gamut with deliciously tender lamb chops, flaky spanakopita (a savory pie), juicy grilled chicken, gyros carvings that are lean, rich moussaka (Greek lasagna) and saganaki, thick pie sections of lightly breaded Romano cheese that is deep-fried, […]
It’s proximity to the YMCA and White Rock Lake, make this a popular post-workout Greek, Italian and Mediterranean munch fest.

A sumptuous array of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern foods greets you at Fadi’s, from lamb shanks that melt off the bone to roasted chicken, grilled-to-order kebobs, stews, and numerous fresh salads, side dishes and desserts. Served up cafeteria-style, the dishes ranged from good to outstanding on our visit, and the value is terrific, too. Try […]

This shop boasts it has the best hummus in Dallas, but what it really gives you is the option of teleportation to the Mediterranean or New York when you enter under the yellow awning. Customers can order myriad mezze at this sister joint to Caf
On a stretch of Greenville Avenue just south of Lovers Lane, there is a panoply of eating establishments. The unassuming blue and white structure is owned by Greek-born Dimitri Ioannides and caters to the spanakopita-loving phalanxes. The intimate space and its tables are filled with local business workers during lunch and couples and friends on […]
This tiny 50-seat restaurant with an open kitchen embedded with an oven for gas-fired thin crust pizzas is perhaps the most stylish Moroccan restaurant ever to hit Dallas. Rich reds, burgundies, oranges and olive oil greens. Intricate metal work. Imported lanterns for sconces. Medina’s brief menu includes a handful of tagines (Moroccan stews), phyllo (pastry) […]
This is chef and owner Kostas Lazanas second restaurant; he also owns Kostas Lazanas also owns Opa! Greek Taverna in Rowlett. The appetizer menu has many traditional options like dolmades, spanakopita, falafel and saganaki. We opted to try a cup of avgolemono soup and garlic feta wings. The wings are seasoned with Greek oregano and a […]

This plush bistro is a survivor from the days when the Crescent Court was the It Location. And it has weathered very well: steady service, strong drinks and a menu that sometimes shows signs of chain-age (it is, in fact, part of a Seattle-based restaurant chain), but most times ranks with the city’s top destinations. […]
Stratos dishes out what it calls “global Greek cuisine.” This means Greek specialties with a smattering of Mediterranean staples. For example, made-to-order fettuccini Alfredo and pastitsio, sharing table space with gyros. Patrons can watch and/or take instruction from belly dancers and salsa dancers Thursdays-Saturdays. Enjoy the pet-friendly patio and the European coffee: “Opa!”
The original Mesquite location of this charming family-owned mini-chain is a tiny dining room full of proof of chef Vasili “Bill” Kaprantzas’ Greek immigrant roots. There’s a poster of the chef’s grandmother, quotations hand-scrawled on the walls and, of course, a bottle of Windex displayed with pride. The Rockwall location, in a shiny strip mall, […]

Right on the edge of Plano is a Greek restaurant that puts all those Manhattan coffee shops to shame. This family establishment is a treat. Start with the appetizers and stay there awhile. The spinach pie (spanakopita) baked with feta cheese and filo dough makes you want to order another. The falafel is some of […]
