“I got there around 1am the service was amazing, the cashier and manager were amazing especially the cashier he was so nice evn thought it was late but they were very helpful and nice. I cant even talk about how good the food, it was delicious and fresh. Also the place was very clean even the inside of kitchen it was clean.“
“I got the shrimp wrap + fries, and my brother got the chicken shwarma + fries. Mine was very, very good, ~$15, and filling. It was both only a little more expensive than a single meal at a fast food place and much better than fast food, so I'd say it's worth it. The service was a little slow, I think they were making a catering order or something at the same time. It was cramped, so Id take that into consideration if youre in a wheelchair. I also didn't like the chairs. But I was only there for a minute and the food was delicious.“
“I had a very nice lunch here today. My waitress was nice, friendly, and very attentive. Good food and very nice atmosphere! The City of Allen is lucky to have this restaurant! There is plenty of parking and a good variety on their menu with a great location.“
“Best Turkish food in America! I got the chicken doner and always get tea because I'm obsessed. lol The doner is out of this world. If you're from the balkan region like me this food will bring tears of joy to your eyes. Hope this place continues to thrive and bring delicious food for a long long time. 100/10 recommend.“
“Low key spot that was run by one man , Ray , when we ate. We split 2 plates and got a soda for $32 total , this was enough to feed my parents self with a nice sized snack for later .When we grabbed our salads from the buffet to accompany our plates all 3 of us grabbed one , even though we had only ordered 2 plates total. Maybe overthinking I pulled out some cash and told Ray our error when he brought our pita bread , and he was so hospitable and couldn’t have been less worried .Every single thing we ate here was unanimously fantastic . Both the Turkish rice and spicy rice were cooked perfectly (although the spicy rice may have had a touch too much oil) . My folks loved everything as well .Along the likes Hutchins , Taste of The Islands ,Uncle Zhous and Malgudi Garden this will be a place I take friends visiting for a sense of the area .“
“I really enjoyed dinner here! It's casual but a good place to sit down and eat with friends and family. It gets super crowded around 7:30+ on Fridays but still pretty decent service! You get complimentary water bottles, a soup (I think it was lentil soup) and dates! Delicious kabob and for a reasonable price! Definitely would come back and the don't forget to stop by the bakery next door and get some amazing baklava!!“
“recently had the pleasure of dining at Bilad Restaurant & Bakery in Richardson, and I must say it was an exceptional experience! As an Iraqi spot serving delicious Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine, Bilad truly stands out.During my visits, I tried both the beef and chicken shawarma, and they were some of the best I’ve ever tasted. The perfectly seasoned meat, combined with their freshly baked Iraqi bread, made each bite a delight. Their mouthwatering spicy sauce added an extra kick of flavor.The restaurant was bustling on a Saturday afternoon, and although we had to wait a bit for a table, it was well worth it. The friendly staff greeted us with smiles, making us feel right at home. No wonder Bilad made it onto D Magazine’s 2023 List of 50 Best Restaurants in Dallas!And here’s a bonus: Bilad offers vegetarian options and serves halal meat. So whether you’re a meat lover or prefer plant-based dishes, you’ll find something to satisfy your cravings.If you’re in Richardson, don’t miss out on this gem. Bilad Bakery & Restaurant is a must-visit for foodies seeking authentic flavors and exceptional service. ??For more information, you can check out their website here. Enjoy your dining experience at Bilad! ??️“
“We are a bunch of foodies, and it's rarely we all had wonderful food in one place.Ferah almost did it. From appetizers to main to desserts, everyone enjoyed their selections, and we were all in a food coma when we finished.Our server Chasey is the best... so attentive, and all her recommendations were delicious.Ferah... take two...It was soooooo good the other night we had to go back tonight before flying home tomorrow.Another awesome experience and delicious food and outstanding service by Chasey.We will for sure to come back when we visit Dallas next time.“
“I’ve been here probably a dozen or so times since the first time I found them. I love it. All the staff are great, the prices are extremely reasonable, and the food is AMAZING. So flavorful and prepared with care. And they never skimp on portions. Truly a remarkable and must eat spot.“
“This family owned restaurant isn't very fancy inside, but the owners are super friendly, and the food was excellent. We all had platters of chicken or beef kabob with rice, hummus, tabouli, and lentil soup. It was delicious. We will be back.“
“Absolutely impressed. First time at Villa Vinci recently with my family and everything was wonderful. Appetizers were perfect. My picky children loved the kids pizza and ravioli. Specialty pizza was great and to top it off, Limoncello cake was incredible. Server (forgot his name, oops) was fantastic! Will certainly be back!“

“MUST TRY. Located inside Walmart which is very convenient if you have to run errands in the store. Lovely food and lovely people. The food here is the closest thing to my home country Syria’s food. I will definitely have Shawarma Press on my go-to list when looking for somewhere to eat.“
“came here on a whim for my friends birthday, there were 8 of us and all of our orders came out in less than 30 minutes. not only that but the food was incredible and the owner was so nice too!Vegetarian options: the only vegetarian entree is the Beyond burger which was really good! but i would love to see falafel added to the menu so i can try out their specialty like the shawarma and gyro bc my friends LOVED theirs.“
“What a great find for authentic afghani food. People are so nice and make you feel right at home. The eggplant dish was the best I had in a restaurant. Rib eye kabob was so tender and rice was so special! Next time i come back for buffet to try everything! ?“
“I was looking for some good kebab skewers over a fire grill. I found this place on google maps with very low review counts but high rating. The first thing they done right was have a website menu with beautiful pictures of the food. That was what convinced me to give it a try even though the pricing was a bit more expensive than what I wanted to pay for each meal. But if you go to any restaurant for this kind of food, the pricing is about right. This, of course, is not a sit down restaurant. But the service is great, they make the food fast and right in front of your face fresh. You can even do a bit of grocery shopping if you like, while the food is being made. I bought 3 of the combo meals and brought it back home. My housemates and I loved it. They love Mediterranean food and cook Greek food at home all the time. For me, it's a hit or miss sometimes. But what I have been missing was some of that middle eastern flare. I would say, the meats were grilled to perfection. The rice was heavenly. They give you a bit of pita bread for the sides, grilled tomato and onion. It was soooo soooo good. Wish people knew more about this place. I'm writing this review the next morning and still day dreaming about that fluffy delicious flavorful rice. So what are you waiting for? Go get some kebabs from here, tell them Anh sent you.“
“Tried the Olive burger…because why not! The burgers and fries were really good. I’ve never had olives on a burger before but it was delicious. I’ll eat olives but I usually don’t see them out. Olives on a hamburger give it a salty flavoring that you didn’t know was missing. Definitely a great deal for the price. The portions were plenty. Definitely will be back.Parking: Tons of parking“
“I absolutely love this place! The service was nice, the food was fresh and the mint lemon juice was so delicious! The meat was savory and the naan was out of this world good! Highly recommend you give this local business a visit. You will keep coming back!“
“We came here and truly enjoyed the food, the service and ambience. We got the family meal which was very large in portion size. It indicated 6-8 people but I think it could have fed another 4 people easily. Very happy with the food and will come back again! Highly recommend!“
“Yum, yum, and yum! This place has fantastic Greek food.There are a variety of sampler plates to choose from. It was raining when we went but they have a really nice patio.Be sure to get the dolma. They are lemony bright with minty freshness. They were playing the 80's when we were there.The staff is attentive, and the food is unforgettable.Plan for lots of leftovers and get dessert!“
“A cute, quaint and perfect place for a book club meeting on a quiet Wednesday night. The food is good and the server is so wholesome. It’s a very cozy and a feel good place. Bonus points is it’s BYOB. ?Kid-friendliness: Perfectly find for kids.“
“Honestly, a very beautiful restaurant, God willing, may God bless you, and may God bless them ♥️ A lot of good work and the prices are very nice ?I asked them for a meat safiha, akkawi, and Syrian cheese pie, as well as a spinach pie. The quantity is beautiful and the taste is frankly delicious and beautiful. I swear I felt like I was in my country ??? and I honestly do not expect a restaurant that serves pies like this to happen in America!Highly Recommended ?????AKKAWI CHEESE PIESFEHA PIESYRIAN CHEESE FATAYERSPINACH BUREK“
“I went in for family dinner. We ordered Mansaf, falafel, kebab platter, humus, tabbouleh salad, and kunafa. We had middle eastern food in many places but this one was the best we had. Everything was so fresh and just delicious. The service was excellent, the Palestinian owner came over to check if we liked the food or not, was a real nice gesture. I would highly recommend it and will go back again for sure.“
“An excellent Mediterranean restaurant with all freshly prepared food, Cosy atmosphere and very helpful stuffs. The spicy hummus here is a 200 percent recommended dish - it is so very tasty!! Falafel ,Dolma, chicken swarma and chicken kabobs are also superb - while they taste awesomely delicious, they are not at all oily. Am very very impressed with the quality of food here.“
“I've been here 4 times, eating in and dining out, and every time the food is fantastic, the service has been great, and the restaurant has a nice atmosphere, with options for indoor and outdoor seating. You have plenty of options to choose from with great portion sizes for fair prices, and I'll absolutely come back.“
“One of the best experiences I’ve had while eating out . I came in Friday afternoon 4/5/24. The employee at the front counter service was amazing and she also made sure to check back with all the guests in the dining room to make sure everything was great ! The manager was very sweet and attentive as well. Great team ! Luna grill should be very proud of such great employees! Best I’ve seen yet ! Also, of course the food was amazing but that’s a given with Luna Grill !“
“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Alibaba Restaurant in Dallas, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the outstanding service provided by Amanda, our waiter for the evening.From the moment I stepped through the door, Amanda greeted me with a warm smile and made me feel right at home. Her attentiveness throughout the meal was unparalleled, and she went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our dining experience was perfect.I opted for the saffron chicken with falafel as a side, and I was blown away by the flavors and presentation of the dish. Each bite was a burst of authentic Middle Eastern flavors, expertly prepared by the talented kitchen staff at Alibaba Restaurant.What truly set this dining experience apart was Amanda’s exceptional service. Her friendly demeanor, attention to detail, and genuine passion for hospitality were evident in every interaction. She anticipated our needs before we even had to ask and made us feel like valued guests throughout the entire meal.Overall, Alibaba Restaurant exceeded my expectations in every way possible. The combination of delicious food and unparalleled service, thanks to Amanda, made for a truly memorable dining experience. I can’t wait to return and indulge in more of their delectable dishes while enjoying the same level of exceptional service.A heartfelt thank you to Amanda and the entire team at Alibaba Restaurant for making my visit truly unforgettable.“
“First time going here and it was very nice looking outside and inside. The outside area is very nice and the inside looks very elegant. When we were sitting it felt like we were in turkey because the music and feel of the place was very Turkish. The food was amazing and the service was very good everyone was very nice.“
“This place is ???Always looking for unique food places and got a recommendation on this one. Great food and atmosphere. Kind and professional staff. We enjoy the place . They were all great. Highly recommended! But pleas ramadan is coming make good prices for iftar buffet .“
“We went there to have iftar definitely this location the best in all Dimassi’s every thing taste and they have kabssah rice it was perfect the good thing it was busy we couldn’t find any tables but they kept everything full they did a great job“
“The food was pretty great. I got the tilapia plate, shawarma sandwich, and 3 beef tacos. The price did not seem to match on the menu but this was in my favor. I expected to pay $60-70 for the three meals and drinks but we ended up at $47. The food was really good, but the fish and shawarma did lack some salt however that can often be to taste. My 12-yr old brother really approved of both the tacos and the shawarma sandwich. The tacos were on par with some very good Mexican street stands I've tried. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Unlike other reviews, I did not see 20% gratuity added automatically. I look forward to visiting again!Kid-friendliness: I would definitely check ingredients for picky eaters but for kids who are more open, the shawarma sandwich is bound to be a hit!“
“I love that I could get an inexpensive veggie burger with fries for under 15 dollars. It was good the fries were good too. Definitely will be my go to place to grab a quick bite to eat without breaking the bank.Vegetarian options: Beyond burger“
“I went to Cava yesterday for the first time and not only was the food amazing, the customer service was just a great if not better. Ricky helped me and a friend and was very helpful with it being my first time. He was patient and also let me try the things I was interested in which I didn’t ask or knew that they could do that. He served with a positive attitude and a smile and did not hesitate to answer any of my questions. You don't find great positive customer service like he provided anymore. And he along with the food is why I will be returning to Cava. Thank you Ricky!“
“"My first visit to Dimassi's Mediterranean Restaurant and my first buffet experience happened here in Dallas, and it was a delightful fusion of the best and most delicious delicacies. The mix of Asian and Turkish foods was exquisite, with excellent options for drinks and desserts as well. The ice cream was simply unbeatable. I highly recommend this restaurant, giving it a solid 100% recommendation."“
“There was so far no restaurant in the whole country that was able to provide me thinking I am not in the USA. Fresh made good. Original recipe. Very enjoyable and a must to visit besides all the boring dishes on every corner. Came back already and will definitely when I am back in town. Thank you Andalous “
“Thank you Jaber for your superb service, as always!I frequent this location and I am always impressed by how professional, helpful, and kind Jaber is to all of the customers.I am never greeted without a smile from him and I always leave satisfied and happy to return!Give this man a raise.“
“OMG! Let me tell you about my experience at Shawarma Royale. The owner and every single customer there were the kindest people ever! When I called to place my order for an event, the owner was so incredibly kind and helpful. They made sure everything was taken care of and gave me the warmest customer service. And guess what? When I went to pick up my order, the other customers waiting in line were also super friendly and kind. It created such a positive and welcoming atmosphere. I couldn't help but feel like part of a big happy family. I'm definitely gonna spread the word about the owner's kindness and the amazing customers at Shawarma Royale. Thank you so much ?“
“Love this chain, and this one and this is the best of them! Service is fantastic (extra kuddos to Rafael for his awesome service) and the food is delicious and really such a good value!I always get the spanokopita, Greek salad with chicken (hold the potato salad), and occasionally the soup. All yummy!“
