Tantuni Mediterranean Grill

Came here for lunch today with my wife. I asked my wife where she wanted to go for lunch and said let’s try this new place. She told me where it was and I was really hesitant at first because it used to be a liquor store but as the saying goes, happy wife happy life. So we went and I am glad we went. It’s a nice little gem we found.

Food:

First off the most important thing for me about food that it needs to be healthy and delicious. Rare and hard to find now days. It was a nice surprise to
Find out the owner is health conscious and the first thing you see when you walk in is a picture of the owner in a little flyer stating she does healthy meal prep. When we walked she greeted us and asked if we were doing the buffet or regular menu. We had no idea it was a buffet so tried the buffet. The food was delicious. Everything tasted great and looked good. My favorite, surprisingly, was the meat pizza! Probably because it had gyro meat on it which is my favorite. I had a couple of dishes I’ve never had before and they were delicious. The first one was Turkish ravioli and the second was salmon salad. all the bread was kept in a little warm oven/cabinet which was great. My wife had only one minor complaint which was the rice pudding. She loves rice pudding and she said this one was too jello like. It didn’t have enough rice grains. Not a big deal for me since I was too full to eat dessert!

Service:

I was a little worried service wouldn’t be as good because I didn’t see anyone but the owner but I was surprised. Every time I walked away to get another dish our table was cleared. I was very impressed. Most small business owners I know that own a restaurant wouldn’t be doing this. As a business owner myself, she has my support and respect. She was also very nice and polite. It’s hard to find a restaurant now days with good food and great service.

Price:

Price was a bit high for lunch at $14/person before tax. The only other comparable buffet is Dimassis’s buffet which has almost double the selection for about the same price.

Ambience:

The restaurant looked very cleaned and well maintained. Kudos to the owner. A lot of restaurants could take a lesson from this one. Buffet stations were very clean and made it look very appetizing. As a matter of fact, I felt a little bad when I let a little bit of soup spill. Sorry!

Overall, I would recommend others to give this a try. Very clean place with great service. The food is tasty as well. Might have a couple dishes that might surprise you. Great place for family, business or for friends to come eat.

This place had a lot of great things going for it.

At a first glance, the place seemed clean and organized. I would have given this place a 5 star rating but finding a dead roach/water bug under one of the booths really grossed me out. Despite the dead bug, my fiancé convinced me to stay.

The food was quite delicious, but I couldn't help but wonder about if there were more bugs.

I came from Los Angeles to visit friend of mine, and my friend recommended me this place. I love it because there are a lot of different options of food. Also, foods taste really delicious. I recommend for sure everyone this place who love Mediterranean food. This is a real Turkish food in Dallas.

Great place. When we over there there was open menu which you can get different food. It was a clean restaurant and it took my attention that the building has a good atmosphere which reminds me Turkey. So I suggest this place.
