Middle Eastern Restaurants near Dallas, TX

“The owners make this one of the best restaurants in Texas and maybe of all time. Excellent lamb and chicken, soft enough to fall right off the bone, with light but flavorful seasoning and generous portions of both rice and protein. The owners are extremely accommodating and hospitable, personally greeting you right when you walk in and introducing you to their menu and specials, then regularly checking in on you and asking how the meal and experience is. They're both really charming and friendly, and seem to have dedicated much of their lives to perfecting these simple dishes. Some of the best Persian food I've ever had, which is no surprise when it feels this homemade. The inside looks like a little deli from the 90s, very simple and clean. Cannot give a higher recommendation.“

“I absolutely loved the food at this Afghani traditional restaurant!
Every dish was rich with authentic flavor, especially the kabuli pulao and Chapli Kabab.
The naan was fresh and perfect, straight from the tandoor.
The staff were warm, welcoming, and eager to share their culture.
You can truly taste the passion in every bite.
I can’t wait to come back—highly recommended!“

“chill and cool spot to hang. Easy going vibe“

“What a delicious and authentic experience in Snider Plaza. This family owned restaurant has been in business for almost 40 years and for very good reason. When you go in, you see the locals visiting that have been coming in for generations. The service is warm and friendly and the food never disappoints. My goto lunch spot in University park.“

“Visiting from out of town, I was hot, tired and hangry when I stumbled upon Maya’s. What an oasis!“

“The food offered at Aderet Grill is always delicious. I am never surprised. The split pea soup is my personal favorite. The onion rings are the best. The steaks and chicken thigh entrees are grilled to perfection!“

“Great Food , Great Service and did I say Great Food!“

“Hits all the hunger itches you could possibly have in the day or night. Trust!“

“I always get a small gyro platter. For a good while I was on a low-carb, keto diet, and they were always accommodating about limiting the rice and replacing it with more lettuce and tomato. Now I’m on a normal diet and find the rice to be delicious. The gyro beef is very tasty. The white sauce is deelish. I find the small to be as much as I can eat. The counter people are usually very nice. Since they also prepare the food as well as dishing up my food, I always tip. Not on the card though, I always pay with a card, and put cash in the jar. I hope that helps the workers at tax time. The place is pretty appalling, but I always go in for a takeaway. The choices on Google do not include beef gyro platter, but that’s what I get.“

“It was unfortunate that I couldn’t sit there to eat because they were preparing for an event but the server was very nice . I tried the Turkish coffee while I waited for my food and omg I love it. I tried some of the food in the car and I love it. I will be back for sure.“
