D'Yar

I love the food, interior of this place and the service. Very tiny spot with 6 tables and a few bar stools but worth the visit if you're in Berkeley for flavor, quality, and portions.

Hands down the BEST Mediterranean food here in the Bay Area. Ive been to D'yar's for years now and sporadically in between times as well. The quality and portions never change. Its absolutely amazing how they've kept it just as delicious as the first time Ive had it. What absolutely shocked me too was the portion sizes still? Over the years restaurants cut back but man they give you such a hefty portion still today with a pile of lamb meat. This entire plate cost me $15 and its rare these days to get a good meal for under $30 in the Bay. Like everything in life, plan ahead. If you are remotely feeling hungry, order ahead or head out to the restaurant early. They will be swamped with doordash orders through the streets. We came around 11 when it first opened and got our food less than 10 mins of ordering. It was such a nice and peaceful meal.

After 5 months since my last visit, this place is still on top! Their CHICKEN SHAWARMA was seasoned and roasted perfectly, the rice was fluffy, the bread was soft, their tzatziki and salad were fresh, and the price was still amazing for the portion. I recommend this spot to anyone searching for delicious Mediterranean food in the area!! I wish I could've taken a photo before I scarfed down my entire plate.

Not worth the wait, but great food and value. Great wraps and rice plates for a reasonable price. Service staff was polite but a bit dismissive. Waited 40-50 mins for our to-go order at a relatively calm hour.

Super hearty meal and great for the price too! I got the chicken plate and loved everything on it. The chicken was well seasoned, fries were crispy, and bread was warm. There was a good amount of hummus too. The salad was a tad soggy but still good.

This is my go to lunch spot near campus. Good food made by friendly people at a reasonable price that doesn't make you feel bloated. The veggies are always fresh and crunchy. There's limited seating but they have a few tables. Everything is kept clean which is reassuring.

I ordered on Snackpass since there was a 20% off for first order discount. I got a falafel deluxe wrap, which was ready pretty quickly after I ordered which was on Sunday around lunchtime. Although it didn't stand out as spectacular or unique, there was a decent amount of falafel and overall with the discount, the portion was good for the price. They are a solid choice for Mediterranean food if you are near UC Berkeley campus, it's right next door to the Durant food court. They don't have outdoor seating but you can walk to nearby places like the Durant food court or campus to sit down and eat outdoors.

Great food for the price! I ordered a wrap and my friend ordered a bowl, which both came out pretty quickly. There's only a small seating area because people usually order to-go, and there's no trash cans. Order through Snackpass to find discounts!

Pretty disappointing experience, and I hope it was just a fluke and their food is normally better! My partner and I ordered from here through DoorDash around 7:30pm and our order arrived way later than anticipated because the dasher had to wait 30 minutes for our order, which was mostly consisted of cold/pre-prepared items. We ordered the Mediterranean plate (comes with hummus, baba ghanoush, salad, tabbouleh, 2 dolmas and 2 falafel), a 6-piece order of dolmas, and an additional side of baba ghanoush.We couldn't tell whether our plate came with pita, especially because it was nowhere on the menu and there was no way to order an additional side, which we wanted to do. We looked at photos online and confirmed that pita did at least come with the Mediterranean plate, and we couldn't tell whether our side of baba ghanoush would include any pita and there was no way to order more so we just kind of hoped they would give us some. When we got our food, we had 3 tiny triangles of pita (not even amounting to 1 whole piece of pita). The majority of the Mediterranean plate and the extra baba ghanoush was overpowered by salt. All other flavors and textures were completely overpowered by the over-saltedness of the food. It was borderline inedible (especially without pita to balance it). The two pieces of falafel actually a nice crispness that held up on delivery which is not always the case with delivery and were not the same salt-bomb that the rest of the plate was The domas weee actually pretty good--definitely the best part of the meal--but unfortunately we only received 5 dolmas in our 6-piece order which was disappointing. I will say their prices are pretty reasonable and it's possible the food experience might have been a fluke--maybe one person in the kitchen accidentally poured and entire container of salt over everything. The experience definitely wasn't worth the reasonable prices and the delivery fees, but If I'm in the area and hungry for dolmas and falafel, I would probably try them again just in case this was just a bad night for them.

Love the chicken shawarma salad. A healthy, filling, and fresh meal that I like to order when I cannot make dinner. Light and bright house dressing made with great EVOO. Friendly service at counter. Would be even better if dine-in area were cleaner, but it's an old building.
