The brunch here is off the charts good. We came during the last bit of warm weather and sat on the lovely patio. We nibbled on smoked salmon, chicken skewers, Greeks salads, stuffed grape leaves, pita breads, different types of hummus, really more than I can remember. The bottomless mimosas were a great way to spend the day(and then go home and nap). Really, this food is outstanding, and with unending mimosas, this brunch should be a $ 50 per head. That it is only $ 25 is an incredible thing. I will return many times. Oh, and plenty of gluten free option, which was great as one in my party was allergic.

Made a reservation for a week in advance… Arrived with our 29 guests(to their credit the reservation was for 25)… One waitress, we had to talk to the manager about getting another waiter after our 2nd table sat for 30 minutes without getting to place a drink order. Everything but the food was a drag, lots of waiting, lots of attitude. We didn’t surprise the place with a big party, they knew we were coming, they were severely unprepared. The food was great, but if you’re coming. Be prepared for them to be wrapping their head around the amount of people that you have for an hour and be prepared to sit and wait for your check for over an hour. The waitress, Melissa, was hateful. Very rude. Even after we acknowledged she was stressed. She was down from the get go. Carlos, the waiter was a dream. Good luck here.

Food was fantastic! Pan seared goat cheese appetizer was nicely prepared and presented. The artichoke hummus was unique and tasty! Chicken souvlaki and lamb shank main dishes were also great and the portions were perfect. We went heavy on appetizers so ordered dessert to go… looking forward to late night baklava! Restaurant is on the ‘cozy’ side, but we ate early, before the crowd, so it wasn’t an issue. Service was on point from start to finish!

Some of the best Greek food I’ve EVER eaten, from NYC to London to Greece! It was lunch. I had the lamb salad(humanely raised). My husband had a traditional gyro. And they have an awesome(looking) weekend buffet brunch. Service was impeccable. Located in a buzz-y part of town, off Knox St. Been thinking about it ever since.

This is the best brunch place in Dallas — absolutely 0 competition. It’s all you can eat and all you can drink coffee and mimosas for $ 30, and the food is great. I consistently bring large groups of people here, the place is never full, and those that I bring always love it. It is insane that this place is not busier around brunch times — but extremely fortunate for me and for anyone else who has discovered it.

one of the better brunch experiences I’ve had in Dallas in a long time. I went to Ziziki’s for the first time on Sunday with a relatively large group, there were about 12 of us, and they were extremely accommodating. it’s buffet style(my favorite), all you can eat yummy Greek & brunch favorites. bottomless mimosas, which if you know anything about me… you know that was my selling point, and GREAT service! the food was delicious, the mimosas were over flowing, and the staff was awesome. all for $ 22 a person! you can’t beat that. I believe brunch starts at 11 and ends at 3. and we were there from 11 – 2:30… hehe… but it’s so worth it, just talking and eating, they come around every 20 minutes or so refilling your glasses so it’s like… why leave?! I really enjoyed myself at Ziziki’s and will for certain be back!

My husband and I went to Greece for honeymoon. Visiting Ziziki’s was like stepping back in time! The food was true to the cuisine we enjoyed in Mykonos and Santorini. I recommend sitting outside on the patio with the fountain and white lights. Very romantic!

It’s been a couple weeks since I was here, and I just haven’t had a chance to write a review. This place was awesome! It was a little expensive for lunch, but well worth it. The quality of the food was very good, we had the Ziziki bread for an app, which was like a delicious little sauce-less pizza. For my entrée, I had the Mousaka, which was like an eggplant, lamb and potato lasagna in a way, and it was divine! I look forward to returning to try some other menu items.

Great Mediterranean/Greek restaurant tucked just a hop and skip off of Knox St. And the Katy Trail. There are tons of choices in this area but this is certainly one not to miss. There are tons of delicious starters(trio of dips and lamb lollipops are my go-to). The bulk of the menu includes quite a few entrees and I haven’t had a bad one yet. Give the filet a try! Leave room for desert and be sure to sample the ice cream cake baklava. Always had excellent service here. Toughest part to score is the parking situation and dent in the wallet but definitely worth the time, effort, and occasional splurge.

After spending two weeks in Greece 18 years ago I came home looking for some authentic Greek food. I quickly found Ziziki’s and they have yet to let me down! The service is always outstanding and anything with lamb included is amazing. If you want to try something off the beaten path try the lamb burger or the lamb French dip sandwich! They also have a salad topped with lamb that would satisfy even the most avid carnivore. Enjoy!

This was my second time coming here. I really love the food, and they are reasonably priced. I do wish they served pita bread prior to the meal coming out. Other then that, the service and meals have been amazing.

Came to try this place last weekend because I was very intrigued with their AYCE Sunday Brunch. For $ 25, you can eat off the brunch buffet, get unlimited mimosas, juice, and coffee. Sadly we were sick and didn’t get to take advantage of the mimosas but the juice was good! Upon being seated, they gave us pita bread with cheese to dip in their tzaziki sauce which was pretty good. For the buffet food, they had a good variety ranging from salmon & bagels, hot marinara pasta, cold white sauce pasta, blueberry pancakes, cinnamon french toast, fish, chicken, lamb, roasted potatoes, mushrooms, salad and pastry and fruits for dessert. I really liked the french toast and pancakes. They were soft fluffy and flavorful. The mushrooms were good and so were the pastas. However, I didn’t like any of the meat dishes. The fish was extremely fish, like it was old and the chicken and lamb were very tough and dry. Pretty disappointing considering the place was pretty busy yet the food wasn’t that great. We also have the option of getting an egg benedict or omelette from the back. These were pretty good as it’s freshly made for you. Overall, I thought this place was alright. it was good but not worth the price. If only the meat dishes were better then I’d probably think it’ll be more worth it.

I came here for Sunday brunch for a friend’s birthday. They have a set brunch price of $ 25, which includes bottomless mimosas, flatbread with dip, an omelette or eggs benedict, and the actual brunch buffet. It was kinda pricey, but the food was tasty. I’m not a huge fan of mimosas, but their drinks were pretty good. This is a Mediterranean restaurant so their brunch is still Greek-styled. Their pasta was yummy and I really liked their bagels with their cream cheese spread. I ordered an omelette with onions, mushroom, and cheese and it was absolutely delicious. The staff was really nice too and they made sure our mimosas were always filled to the top. It’s a great place to go for groups since it doesn’t seem as busy as its neighboring restaurants, so there’s plenty of room.

I made a reservation for two this past Saturday night to Ziziki’s. I had come here before to have Sunday brunch, but was told that they only offered a brunch buffet for Sundays. What bothered me was that they didn’t specify that anywhere on the website. We wanted a plated brunch, not a buffet brunch, so we left. Needless to say, we decided to come back to try their dinner menu, and scored a nice seat on their patio, which had a very romantic feel to it. We started the evening off with a bottle of Chardonnay, along with the small order of Spanakopita. The small order was extremely small, so we decided to then order the Artichoke Dip and Pita bread to give ourselves a little more filling before ordering entrees. The Spanakopita had a great taste, but the very top layer of the phyllo dough was too tough to slice. It was either too dry or baked too long. The artichoke dip tasted like sour water to me. There was no good flavor to the dip, and I had no taste of artichoke whatsoever. The only thing good about it was the warm pita bread. For my entrée, I ordered the Salmon Filet, which came with couscous and asparagus. My meal was wonderfully cooked, from the medium salmon filet that had a nice Mediterranean taste, to the amazing tomato sauce that mixed well with both the asparagus and couscous. I highly recommend this dish if you’re looking for something on the lighter side. I also had a taste of the Lamb Salad and I can definitely say that I’ve had much better tasting lamb at other Greek restaurants. Overall, I liked the food here, but I wasn’t too impressed with the appetizer choices. I’ll definitely come back again one day to try brunch; on a Saturday that is.

Came here for lunch. Delicious! Will come back Ziziki bread is delicous. And the Ziziki sauce is grewt!!! Lamb skewers are sooo good. The potatoes are so very good at crisp on outside and soft on inside with good seasoning balance. The lamb is cooked perfectly at medium rare. Price is good. As well as service and ambiance. Beware: $ 3 charge if u decide to split plates.

Order the Keftedes Souvlaki! Delicious lamb meatballs! It’s only listed on the lunch menu but ask if that’s available! The pita bread, roasted potatoes and Tzaziki sauce were also perfect. Also, try the artichoke hummus! really good. I’ve also ordered the chicken souvlaki before but the lamb had more flavor. Very classy ambiance. Sit out on the patio if the weather is nice! Staff is very friendly as well. Parking — free garage parking. Entrance is off Travis street right next to villa-o’s

Brunch Review: Solid 4.5 stars. Situated inside a little courtyard, Ziziki’s is one of the best, if not the best, brunch buffets around. For $ 20/person, you get access to the buffet, unlimited mimosas/coffee, and a great ambiance. Sometimes, when people hear the word buffet, they think of an abundance of low quality food and fillers. Not the case here. The buffet is full of fresh Greek dishes, as well as some American dishes for a more traditional brunch. Sample foods include scrambled eggs(Greek style), pancakes, chicken, lamb, pasta, salads, bagels with salmon and cream cheese, cake, fruit, pasta, dolmades, and really good baklava. Also included with your meal is Ziziki bread. This is pure deliciousness. Think of a cheese pizza without the marinara. The bread is served with their house tzatziki sauce, which is one of the best I’ve had. $ 20/person may seem like a lot for brunch, but trust me, it’s worth it. Other places will cost at least $ 10/plate, and then there’s drinks to consider. Here, you have a buffet of great food to choose from and as many mimosas as you want. If you don’t plan on having some mimosas, then maybe it’s best to save this place for another time where you can get your money’s worth. Definitely one of the better brunch options in the area.

Great Greek place in the Dallas area. I came with a group of about 5 – 6 with reservations, and they seated us in a small private room. Everything on the menu sounded delicious, but I ended up settling on the sliced leg of lamb gyro. Delicious. Definitely wish there were more on the plate because I gobbled it up in a few minutes, and I’m usually one to not be able to finish my food. So I would say this place is good, but kinda pricey for the amount of food they give you.

Dear Ziziki, you can ziziki me any day! Sure, I already like Greek food but place had me in love and praising the Greek gods after I finished my meal. Shamefully I’ve bypassed Ziziki’s countless occasions while exploring neighboring businesses like Riviera Spa, Villa-O, Taverna and more. But when it comes to a hearty brunch/lunch, this place takes the baklava. We were invited here over the weekend for a friend’s birthday. The bottomless mimosas were a seriously hearty pour and our group’s buffet allowed us to pretty much sample everything on the menu: tender lamb; mini lox bagels, pancakes, eggs, pita with fresh veggies and hummus & tzatziki sauce and more! Literally the choices were endless. I don’t think I even knew what everything was, nor did I care. I stuffed my face with everything in sight. Get in my big big fat Greek(for the day) belly! To top it off, our servers were absolutely were wonderful(especially the lovely host who went out of her way to play the part of an extra server to our large group). Can’t wait to go back. One little visit made me an instant fan!
