Café Izmir is a small, neighborhood restaurant located on Lower Greenville where guests can enjoy home-cooked Mediterranean tapas. Our concept is simple; fresh, healthy food prepared daily and available seven days a week. Mama Nazy"s old world recipes capture the essence of Greek, Turkish, Lebanese and Persian cuisine. Have a seat in the main dining room or enclosed patio; Café Izmir provides an upscale, casual environment that highlights the sights and aromas of the Iranian culture. Voted Best Hummus in Dallas for several years, you have to come try it for yourself!

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Cafe Izmir is a beloved Dallas staple known for its "best hummus ever," friendly service, and vibrant atmosphere. Diners rave about the "amazing food" and European vibe, making it perfect for date nights or gatherings. While live music adds charm, some find it too loud. Overall, a must-visit Mediterranean gem!

    I think this place is little overhyped. Had better Med food at other places. Wine selection was also very limited.

    Cafe Izmir in Dallas is a true gem! Nick, has taken care of us for 20 years and always provides outstanding service—attentive and friendly. The hummus was perfectly smooth and flavorful, paired with warm pita. The saffron chicken and beef kabobs were tender, juicy, and packed with authentic Mediterranean spices. Amazing food and excellent service—why we have been dining there for 20 years.

    We have been celebrating my daughter’s birthday here for over 20 years. Nick has always been there to serve us and make our dining experience and her birthday special. He’s like family❣️ The food is excellent and it has remained delicious throughout the years. We’ve had everything on the menu but my favorite is the portobello mushrooms, sweet potatoes, hummus and the pita bread. You can’t go wrong with any item on the menu because they’re all good. See you guys next year.

    This place is so much more than about food. The food is amazing. The culture of the family that brought this awesome restaurant to Dallas makes it so awesome. Every time my wife and I make it anywhere near Dallas we go out of our way to enjoy a delicious meal at Cafe Izmir. Thank you so much for your hospitality and family recipes.
