Your new go-to Mediterranean lounge in Addison
We finally made it to Avalon Lounge and the whole spread did not disappoint. Started with the baba ghanoush — fire-roasted eggplant blended with tahini, garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil — and the cheese pastry rolls, golden and crispy with a dipping sauce that disappeared fast.
For soups, we tried the traditional Mediterranean lentil soup and the homestyle chicken soup with tender chicken, potatoes, carrots, and fresh herbs — both comfort food done right.
The mixed grill platter was the star of the table — beef shish, chicken shish, lamb chops, and grilled shrimp, all in one generous plate. We also got the lahmacun, a Turkish flatbread topped with seasoned ground beef and Mediterranean spices, and the Lebanese chicken shawarma wrap with hummus, pickles, and creamy tahini sauce.
Saved room for dessert and it was worth it: the Dubai cake, rich chocolate layered with pistachio cream and crispy kataifi, and the baklava pistachio roll to finish it off right.
The vibe here is moody, elegant, and perfect for a date night or group dinner. Tag the friend you’d bring here next 🤍

If you're a fan of Mediterranean cuisine, Avalon Lounge in Addison offers a remarkable dining experience that combines traditional flavors with a modern setting. Beyond the highlights of baba ghanoush and their mixed grill platter, what truly sets this place apart is the authentic preparation and variety. The smoky baba ghanoush is a great starter — the fire-roasted eggplant delivers a rich, smoky depth complemented perfectly by tahini and lemon juice, making it a fantastic dip or accompaniment to fresh pita. The inclusion of fresh herbs in the lentil and chicken soups brought that comforting warmth often missed in other Mediterranean spots. One of the must-tries is the lahmacun, a Turkish-style flatbread that is thin and crispy, topped with well-seasoned ground beef and herbs. It’s light but full of flavor, making it a perfect side or shared appetizer. I also found the Lebanese chicken shawarma wrap to be an excellent handheld option, with creamy tahini and pickles balancing the spiced meat. For those who enjoy sharing, the mixed grill platter is a feast. The variety from beef shish and chicken shish to lamb chops and grilled shrimp means everyone at the table can taste a bit of everything. Each protein is grilled to perfection, with just the right amount of smokiness and seasoning. Don’t miss the dessert—especially the Dubai cake. The combination of rich chocolate, pistachio cream, and crispy kataifi provides a unique texture and flavor combination that feels indulgent but not overwhelming. The pistachio baklava roll is another crowd-pleaser, perfect for ending the meal on a sweet note. The atmosphere is inviting with moody, elegant décor that’s ideal for date nights or special gatherings with friends. It’s clear that Avalon Lounge in Addison is more than just a restaurant—it’s an experience that celebrates Mediterranean flavors authentically and deliciously. Highly recommend tagging a friend to enjoy this feast together!
