Happy to get one of only two available parking spaces and ate on the patio. Server was excellent. My companion is a Mediterranean food aficionado and she said the food was just OK. We had hummus, ziziki, tabouli, pita, falafel, salad, grilled veggies, grilled asparagus, and sweet potato fries. The tabouli has a wonderful citrus zing to it, one of the best tabouli I've had. Reducing by one star due to companion's disa... View all feedback.

Cafe Izmir offers some of the best tapas in Dallas, with fresh pita and amazing dips. The veggie options are great, and the sangria is just right. Outdoor seating, although partly covered, adds to the ambiance. However, the experience can be marred by long waits for tables and less-than-optimal service at times. The Mediterranean-inspired cuisine is generally well-received, with standout dishes like the tabouli and coconut shrimp. Despite some service hiccups and parking challenges, Cafe Izmir provides a warm and welcoming atmosphere reminiscent of home, making it a place worth considering for a tasty Mediterranean meal.
