The food and atmosphere exceeded our expectations...as usual! The shrimp pizza, beef tenderloin skewers and beef tenderloin tangine were all tasty entrees. We also ordered each of the salads and they were all very good, my personal favorite being the med-rim salad. The morroccon inspired cocktails are tasty and fresh: try the caramel fig martini, its one of my favorite... More

There were 7 of us who shared a variety of tasty mezze. Portions were rather small but tasty. Tagine chicken was the best, moist with a taste of cinnamon. It was a Thursday around 6, so the place was packed inside & out. Service was a bit slow but if you're not in a hurry, just sit back & enjoy... More

Our first dinner at the Medina and Sam, the co-owner was all over my date. Without being invited to join us, he pulled up the chair directly across from my date and spent the next 15 minutes looking into her eyes, ocassionally holding her hand, sharing i-phone pictures of his home city with her and telling of the beauty of...

The biggest problem we had with Medina was in finding it! The restaurant itself is on a walk street which was apparently why our Google map had us driving in circles. So, in case you're not familiar with downtown Dallas, the valet is on Lamar, a block east of the House of Blues. It's a small, intimate restaurant with comfortable... More

I ate here a few times while in Dallas for business. I came here for dinner on a few occasions as well as brunch. The brunch was wonderful. I believe you get one mimosa with your brunch order and the food portions were quite large and very delicious. I had the goat cheese omelette and really enjoyed it, I would... More

These days, I don't go to a restaurant (while I am traveling) that I look for the reviews in tripadvisor, read the reviews on Medina, and I was not disappointed. We love mediterranean food (greek, lebanese, etc), and had never gone tried Moroccan food. We loved everything about Medina, great service, great menu, and great Moroccan Chardonnay wine (yes!

Celebrated a birthday at Medina with friends. After a few of the wonderful "Sexy Drinks" we shared half a dozen small plates and salads then a couple of entrees among the four of us. The lamb sausage and tenderloin skewers were awesome and the tomato and cucumber salad and couscous under each were light, fresh and fantastic. We shared the... More

We were visiting Dallas and not being familiar with the streets had a little trouble locating the restaurant. However, it was worth the effort. The food was delicious and the service polite and attentive. The overall ambiance is very intimate. I will definitely go back the next time I am in Dallas.

Wow. Cocktails excellent. I especially liked the Flying Carpet. Standard appetizers better than other Mediterranean restaurants in Dallas. Lamb and sea bass entrees were both amazing. Moroccan red wine very good too. Mint ice cream very nice. Creme brulee so so. Music too loud.

I dined here with coworkers in July after reading several reviews online which did not disappoint. This moroccan food is so amazing and the staff was wonderful. The restaurant has a small and cozy feel. The signature cocktails are a must try, as well as the sampler appetizer. I got the lamb chops for dinner and seasonal fruit for dessert.... More
