    I like this place, it's very spacious, they have big parking lot. Food is delicious! Service is quick and they do have belly dancers on Friday Saturday nights!

    Pistachio Chocolate
    Daniel M.

    Tucked away not far from the highway off 75 and Spring Valley. There are tons of selections of everything from nuts and spices to even candy. Very clean establishment with a nice little round about layout around the spices and nuts that are in the middle of the place in nice wooden barrels. We came for the pistachio chocolate and didn't see it immediately. When we walked to the checkout counter, we heard a patron in front of us ask for them. They keep them right at the register. We opted for the $20 bars and got a cup of pineapple juice. I asked for a cup of coffee, but apparently, they only roasted and sold the beans. We got a few little pastry treats these tiny little cookies/biscuits in like a cupcake form but tiny, and some had pistachio. Others had almonds and cashews. Now, the pistachio chocolate bar wasn't quite the same consistency as I've had before, I can say the whole piece of pistachios inside made for a great experience. I'd gladly go back again.

    Hummus

    We're a couple of retirees and we usually go to restaurants about 5, so there were no other customers in the place until about 6, nonetheless the food and service were outstanding. The hummus was the best I've ever had and the entrees were bursting with flavor. You get charged for using a debit card. The server let us know that the belly dancer starts her work at 1030p and lots of folks show up even after that. We'll be back (around 5 ish).

    Another update..... I enjoy this place! I don't smoke. However, not against those that do. It's a full bar with lots of people who enjoy sharing a hookah filled with a variety of flavors. This place is so thick from the smoke you can literary cut it with a knife. My understanding, is that this is the last smoking spot allowed bar in Addison. Noticed that staff comes around frequently and keeps the coals well stoked. I can always walk outside for air. I do that quite frequently. Specially, as the night goes on and additional people arrive. Just make sure you get an armband prior to walking out Otherwise, it might be difficult to reenter. Just play by the rules and it will never be an issue. Noticed on my frequent visits to get air that they have Addison Police in the parking lot. That's a great idea when large groups congregate for food and fun. Certainly can't hurt! I was skeptical about this place initially, because of some of the reviews. This is a Friday night and if you come before 9 PM there is no cover. Regardless, of how many are at your table, you will be charged a 20% service charge. Period. Advice you look at your receipt and be forewarned when closing out the check. Paying a 40% plus tip can hurt the wallet if you are unaware. This is my third visit and it certainly will not be my last. I met friends here to celebrate! The dance floor is bumper to bumper people and hot as hell! Feel free to dance at your own risk. They do have the air conditioner at full blast. It still stays hot regardless. The atmosphere was fantastic. They have a DJ that kept beat with the mood of the crowd. On a previous visit there was a regular patron that got up and does all these "Napoleon Dynamite" moves. Even looks like him too! I so wanted to film him because I thought it was awesome that he had that much confidence to be different. He was fearless! The patrons were cool and welcoming. Refreshing! I was hoping he'd be here tonight. He wasn't. A belly dancer came and danced at our table. What a treat! It's so fascinating how she moved, so graceful and fluid like. It was fun watching the folks at our table tip her. (This visit I was the only one that remembered to bring bills for the tip). The food is fabulous. It's Lebanese food and many of us have not had this type food before. Everyone had something different. I didn't want to be weird and ask people to wait while I took pictures. Lots of vegan choices which I loved! I heard not one complaint. All I heard was lip smacking and moans of delight. Oh and you have got to have their hot sauce. That stuff is crack in a container! I poured it all over my vegetables. 46/2019

    This was the first time we attended a restaurant/bar with belly dancing performance included. Had heard quite a lot and was expecting more maybe. When we entered the venue, we were seated outside because although several tables were empty, they were reserved before hand. The outdoor seating was not very maintained considering temperatures are constantly high and since seats were below trees, there were ants and maybe some bugs around. Food wise, pricing was moderate. However flavor wise it was lacking. Grape leaf appetizer was a bit disappointing. Shawarma and chicken kebabs were just decent, felt more dry than usual Mediterranean places though. The belly dancing performance was impressive. The ambience inside was good- mostly giving 'desi night' vibes in any club. Service was a bit slow, but since there was a huge crowd, it is understandable.

    The price you see on here is not what is at the restaurant, it's more expensive and the servers are greedy.

    For as long as I can remember, my family and I have been visiting this Mediterranean institution on…read morePolk Street. Afrah is THE place to be for Mediterranean food - before Greenville Ave became Arab central, before there was anyone, there was Afrah. A beautiful, airy restaurant with gorgeous seating, a bustling dessert case, ice cream center and so many treats to offer under one roof. Afrah is to the Muslim community in Richardson as a glove is to a hand. It truly is a one stop shop for all your nostalgic cravings, and it would be a grave injustice on my part if I didn't stop by here and sing praise to one of the most loved Mediterranean restaurants in the DFW area. We visited here recently for an iftar buffet experience and were very very happy with the food we got. The buffet line was running smoothly, from staff working diligently to hand everyone a tray with napkins, plates and cutlery already set for you. Waiters were going around the massive dining hall clearing plates, making sure everyone had what they needed, seating patrons and asking if everything tasted good. This establishment runs like a literal well oiled machine and I am so impressed. The food was as always out of this world. Carefully prepared menu that satisfies everyone's taste buds. A good selection of classic cold appetizers like the baba ghanoush, hummus, and variety of salads. Always including something unique for a typical Middle Eastern flare. Hot lentil soup available with bowls carefully placed in the vicinity. So many different types of kebabs and freshly made hot pita bread being replaced like clockwork. The buffet had many of my favorite classics like Shawarma meat, beef kebab, chicken kebab. Lamb, chicken stew, baked chicken, everything was present in abundance. They even had salmon which I deeply appreciated as a seafood lover. My only complaint is the food wasn't hot enough which can be annoying with a buffet that is serving so many people during a busy time like Ramadan. Everything tasted absolutely phenomenal and when I returned for dessert, I was greeted with six different types of sweets from all over the world. That's the thing about this place. There's always something for everybody. The dining hall was bustling with not just Muslim patrons, but also a lot of American white patrons who equally enjoy the food here as much as we do. Inclusions of dishes like shrimp pasta, fried fish, chocolate mousse, and other fan favorites is a humble nod to non-Arab customers who love to frequent this place as much as we do. If you are looking for a quality Mediterranean experience look no further than this long-standing Mediterranean Haven. Thank you for nourishing the community.

There wasn't really any service to speak of since its buffet style. The ambiance was a pretty typical cafetera style restaurant.

Steak kabobs are made with filet mignon cuts! The grill makes lots of specials like Lamb Loin and Wagyu beef. The deserts are made in house and they even make a baklava with cheese called warbat. Incredible Dallas gem so good I kinda don't even want to share.

This was a fabulous adventure! We took a few hours to visit Sarahs Market and ate lunch at their S Grill. The market is very small, but every inch of its space is very special. First, we found our way to the back corner and sat at a tiny countertop with only 4 chairs. The counter faces an open top grill, and you're able to talk/ watch the chefs make the food. The menu is limited and pricey! We ordered one steak kabob ($26.00). The steak was served medium rare, very juicy, on top of a long rice (similar to rice pasta), and it was coated in a delicious seasoning completely unfamiliar to us. It came with roasted tomatoes & purple onion. You can select from several sides, we picked the hummus. It was a huge portion, enough for 2 people. The chef was so pleased to have us and was very impressed that we were there to learn. He gave us many "generous" sized samples of the sides and sauces they offered. Everything was made in-house, from scratch with fresh ingredients from their grocery store. It was a wonderful experience! The bakery aspect of this location is a small glass display case full of sweets, like macaroons, cheesecake baklava, and more. Most of them were new to us. The pastry chef gave us a few samples that had us buying a bunch to take home, lol. We strolled through the grocery store part of the market before leaving and bought a few items we already enjoyed. The difference was buying things that are made in-house, like pita bread. You can definitely see, smell, and taste the difference. A FIVE STAR review for their authenticity, hospitality, and delicious fresh food. If you're in the area you've got to try the Grilled Kabobs.
