Sevan G & G Cafe

Small shop at the end of Lower Greenville. Sevan Hummus is out of this world. The lamb and pine nuts just add an extra bit of heaven to an already delicious hummus. I got the Kafta Kabob, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The Kafta was tender and flavorful. I know sometimes Kafta can be pretty dry since it’s just ground beef, but this one was plenty juicy.
Overall great place. Family restaurant, which is kind of funny because their son (or one of them) takes one of the 4-​top tables and uses it as his desk for homework. I feel like they’d want to have that table for some extra business (at least $ 30-​$ 50/​hour depending on time of day). We luckily got there before 3 more groups of 4 and got seated quickly. They had to wait another 45 minutes before they sat down.
In any case, I’ll be back for some more!

I cannot say enough great things about this place!
First off — it’s BYOB — no explanation needed there. Perfect for girls’ nights where you can bring a few bottles of wine and have a great time. They also don’t charge you a «corking fee» and bring you clean wine glasses and an opener.
I always order the Pistachio Chicken or the Gyro. The hummus is to die for! The food is so great here! The food is made to order so be patient when ordering, it doesn’t come out in 5 minutes. The owner knows me and my friend by name and by order — she’s a doll.
I would highly recommend this place if you’re in the mood for some Mediterranean Food!

This place is exceptional. Clean, comfortable, and very friendly staff always greeted with a smile. Every time I come in, I get the same dish — the Pistachio Chicken. I have no desire to try anything else, because it’s exceptional! Pair it with a Greek salad.

Absolute worst service in DFW! Sat down and waited for a friend of mine who was stuck in the rain driving from South Dallas. Maybe 10 minutes. And there was plenty of other people occupying the other three tables. The table behind me was just ordering. And the website said they close at 9 and it was almost 8. The waitress half body toward me, the other half out to the table in the center of the room, told me I needed to order because the kitchen was going to close and that I couldn’t order any food after 8. The most appalling and rudest way possible! Basically announcing to the other diners that she had full control over the establishment and wasn’t going to let anybody dine in there or spend money after 8 o’clock. So I got up and walked out!

I went here the other night with my friends before going out, and we had a lovely time! It’s BYOB so we brought some wine and beer, that’s always such a nice perk. The food was delicious! We ordered the hummus, chicken, salad, and gyros. The restaurant was at first almost completely empty, but as soon as 8pm hit, it totally filled up. Service was a little slow, but nothing too bothersome. Great family feel, and super nice wait staff, not to mention the awesome location on Greenville Ave (with a parking lot!). I’ll definitely be back!

Me and my wife have been coming here the last 7 years and wanted to have our wedding reception here but couldn’t due to the space but however we do love the small family owned business and the family!

One of the best Mediterranean restaurants in Dallas! They have great hummus and gyro plates!

Very good Mediterranean cuisine. Spanakopita and Gyros plate were very good. Mid week dinner was very quiet.

Love the gyro plate and the sevan hummus with meat! BYOB is always a plus. The pickles are amazing too. We’ve been coming here for years and it’s a great family owned local spot.

So while the food was good (not the best) this place was a neat little spot to enjoy some good Mediterranean grub, and drink our own wine that we brought from home. YES, it is BYOB.
I would recommend you bring your own cork screw for your wine bottles, since well theirs are not in the best condition.
I gave this place 3 stars simply because the ambiance was nice, sat outside and had a nice lady from Lebanon as our server. However, this is a place that could use a little more service oriented people. While our server was sweet, the lady that greeted us was not so inviting. If you work in a place of service, smile, it does wonders.
The food came out, and well we ordered sampler appetizer, and kebob sampler. The food was good, I think I enjoyed it more since I had a bottle of Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio that I paid only $ 15 for, instead of the ridiculous markups of the same bottle at another restaurant, where I know I would have paid at least $ 40 for.
The group of people that we met outside let us know the food was good, but to expect the service to be a little slow. We didn’t experience that the service was too slow, but it was not that busy to begin with. If it had been slow with not that many people, my rating would have dropped a star.
The 3 stars is for decent food, nice server, and ok prices. When a Mediterranean place gives me cold pita and the gyro is from a frozen box, I just can’t be the biggest fan, but I can see myself going back for the BYOB, and that Baba ghanoush. now that was delish!

The bf and I decided try Sevan G&G after reading about it in the Observer. We were especially intrigued by their hummus with lamb. It was quite tasty-​the toasty lamb pieces and pine nuts add dimension and texture to an already tasty hummus. The spices used were delicious. The dolmas were delicious as well.
We shared the gyro platter which was perfect for two since we shared apps. The gyro meat was cooked well and had great flavor.
We should’ve brought some wine, as it’s BYOB, but be prepared to spend $ 30 per couple to not pay the $ 15 corking fee.
The only downside was service was slow at the beginning and we had to flag down staff for water. Other than that it’s a nice, subdued little place that’s a hidden gem amongst all the loud and crowded hipstery joints on lowest Greenville.

I think they were short staffed. I saw the two women bussing tables, acting as hostesses, running food, and taking orders. I feel like they were making the food too.
Nice ambience — great for families and casual dates :)
I had the tilapia with grilled veggies and it was delish! My boyfriend’s daughter got a gyro plate and really liked it. My boyfriend just got grilled chicken, which was moist.
Great little Mediterranean place.

Went here for dinner last night and I have NEVER had a more AMAZING falafel in my life!!! Hands down they were pillows of chickpea gold. Oh it was amazing and I had to eat all for of them…
Spencer had the most delicious lamb beef deliciousness as well. This maybe the new neighborhood spot!!!

Such an amazing array of dishes from the Mediterranean Middle East, without the characteristic heavy feel. Turkish, Greek, Lebanese, and Persian influences. A good way to become exposed to fresh, nutritious, and well balanced international cuisine. I’ve eaten here two dozen times.
A dozen of those good times, I’ve had Kashmir chicken. It’s not like any chicken dish from any other culture you’ve ever had. If you Google search Kashmir chicken, you won’t get any clue, either. Recipes vary greatly. You’re served an unusually large breast, covered with a creamy sauce that’s got savory, sweet, and tangy notes. For a breast this large, it’s very velvety, too. How is it that I’ve never had such a delicious sauce on chicken before? I don’t know why, I just enjoy that mystery!
BYOB, without a cork charge. Wine greatly enhances this cuisine. Cozy, intimate date venue. Affordable prices. An almost hidden gem.

So did you know you can get breakfast for lunch here? Greek food with eggs for starters and more, as well as regular Greek favorites, salads and sandwiches.
I tried the Soujok Baquette: a spicy ground beef with Mediterranean pickles, tomatoes, lettuce and a hummus spread on a light French Baquette. Delicious.
I’m not sure why it took 20+ minutes to get though.

This place is the biggest culinary secret in Dallas. You can always get a table, the atmosphere is romantic and quiet, and the food is authentic and delicious.
The pistachio chicken… wow. It’s not often I remember and crave a dish months after the first taste. But it was perfection. The dolmas is my recommended appetizer. I’ve been to the Mediterranean and it’s 100% authentic.
Also, my service is always wonderful. I’ve had the same waiter probably three times and she’s always very helpful and friendly.

What a strange and wonderful place! The menu is as eclectic as Greenville itself– It’s the first one I’ve seen that offers both a full american breakfast and traditional greek cuisine. Example– items listed as stand alone side orders include– honey, two eggs, «extra coal» (uh, for the hookah?!), cheddar cheese, and chicken.
As for the rest of my experience– my pick up order was ready in under 15 minutes (during our recent «snow storm»), the Kashmir Chicken alone was worth going back for, and the total was around $ 35 for hummus, one side and one entrée (as for how the cost breaks down, I have no idea, since there were no prices on the menu).

Ok dining here is not the best. It’s a hole in the wall Mediterranean place with a staff of probably three people. My expectations were low to begin with and this proved it right. The first experience here was sloppy because even if the food isn’t great, the service should be easy to compensate. There were about three other tables and the restaurant fits about ten tables and it took about 10 minutes to even get noticed and get some water. This could be understaffing or just operational mishaps, so let’s move past that to the food.
I had tilapia and falafel for my entrée and mouhamra spread as an appetizer.
So, the mouhamra is awesome. It’s so different than other ones. This is a hummus-​like spread for you folks who aren’t familiar with types of Mediterranean spreads. It has walnuts and peppers in it and it’s pretty light and delightful. I come back just to get this appetizer to go.
But besides this app, the other food is very subpar. The fish was dry and bland and the falafel was just ok. If you’re in a bind waiting for the libertine and can settle for less, then Sevan’s is a slower alternative, but at least you can have some mouhamra.

Very small cozy little gem. Service is friendly and the food is phenomenal. Seriously. Portions are generous and quality is spot on. On one visit we both ordered the Gyro salad. The meat was delicious. The vegetables in the salad were fresh and crisp. This dish alone is enough for two, especially if you order an appetizer. We ended up taking home left overs.
The Dolmoths are delicious and come seven to an order. That’s a big appetizer people. Big enough for several people to share. I prefer mine heated. There’s are cold. They make their own tzatziki, hummus, and, yogurt. Oh man, that fresh yogurt is amazing! Remember that when you’re enjoying your pita bread and Hummus, it is finger food. My partner was spreading the hummus on the bread like it was butter! I had to school him. Tear the bread into pieces and dip into the hummus.
The rack of Lamb here is crazy good. It normally comes with roasted vegetables and vermicelli. That’s the way I ordered it, but, my partner asked to substitute the roasted veggies and rice for a salad instead. They happily did so. The sub salad was a big portion topped with freshly shaved cheese. The dishes I’ve had here have been spot on. They also serve breakfast (limited American), and, they are BYOB.

Mmmmmmm. I said Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! I wish I could rap, cause then I would rap about this place and how I want to make it my b*tch! Le sigh.
First off, yes, this place is BYOB. Amaze. I’ve now been a few times and each time I am very pleased. Have gotten take out and also eaten in.
It’s a cute/​small little place, very cozy. The service itself is a tad slow, but I think maybe 3 people work here. Food comes out at a great pace though! It’s a local Ma & Pop shop, and I love to support local. I think their son works as the buser and you can tell he’d rather be playing video games with his homies.
Anyhoooooooooooo. We started with the Sevan Hummus (hummus with sauteed lamb and pine nuts), this was incredible. Then we got some little pastry ball with stuff in it (I know, totally helpful), but even though I don’t remember what was in it, I remember that we all loved it! Just look for balls on the menu. Hay Oh! For our entrees we got the Falafel plate (I mean, how could you not), the Gyro Plate (I mean, how could you not) and the Kashmir Chicken (yes). Everything was so delicious, honestly though, the star of the entrees with the Kashmir Chicken, chicken in a curry cream sauce with raisins, grilled pineapple, veggies and rice. Stop right now and re-​read that. CURRY CREAM SAUCE *faint*! All three plates were devoured. Then of course we got some baklava to sharsies… we enjoyedsies!
My friends and I left with a tab totaling $ 60. Again, it included 2 appetizers, 3 entrees and 2 desserts. I mean. Come. On.
Reservations are suggested for parties of 6 or more! Oh, and they also have Hookah’s! Parking can be tough, but they do have spots right in front or you can valet across the street, but be careful — you know Greenville, your ass will get towed so quickly.
Such a great little Mediterranean place. Loves! Do it.
