About:Authentic Middle Eastern cuisine is what you'll find at Cafe Izmir, voted one of the "100 Best Restaurants in Dallas." The Nazari family maintains a high standard of excellent service and exotic cuisine. Part of the Izmir experience is the anticipation of what meal you will be served. The only decision you'll need to make is the type of meat you prefer, or you can go vegetarian. You might want to make reservations, since this place can get pretty crowded. Izmir provides an upscale, casual environment that highlights the sights and aromas of the Iranian culture. Several dining tables are available for large groups, as well as a patio for outdoorsy types. The eclectic crowd is a source of entertainment in itself. If you're not adventurous enough to let the cook create your meal, take baby steps and start with Tuesday Tapas Night, when you can choose from a wide variety of Middle Eastern appetizers.

    The owners are Persian (from Iran). The recipes are old Persian recipes NOT Turkish. The food is good, Some of the items are westernized but , they're still good. The "Russian" chicken salad is an old recipe from Iran, it's originally called "salad olivia" at all other Persian restaurants. The spicy lamb roll is THE BEST!! Friendly atmosphere but REALLY cramped. you literally bump into tables if you need to use the rest room!

    Extremely loud if you go on the weekend, not too bad during the week. Food is OK at this location, much better at the downtown location, unfortunately they closed that one!! If you just want to try a variety of items this is a good place to go.

    The lamb chops and humus are awesome. I actually hate humus except for here. Really a great atmosphere too. One of my favorites.
