Bilad Restaurant & Bakery - Falafel sandwich - Mediterranean Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Still love this place! Fresh Arabic bread made daily. Get there early to get it before it sells out. Shawarmas are made with Iraqi bread, but they are delicious even if you are used to the traditional Arabic pita bread. Ask for everything and spicy if you like lots of flavor and texture. Cash and standard credit cards accepted here. Sadly American Express is not. Counter allows you to order and wait standing up to go. There are a few tables where you can dine in if that is your preference. The small staff work quickly handling both. They are kind and very helpful. read more

I ordered take out for the family and we loved everything we tried: hummus, baba ganoush, tabbouleh, and falafel. Everything was fresh and flavorful. It's also a great spot if you're looking for lots of tasty nonmeat options. I'll definitely be back! On my personal Sami Scale -- where a 10 is mythical -- and as someone who's spent time in the Middle East and eaten at spots out there, I'd give this place an 8.4. read more

I've been coming here with my dad since childhood and never had a problem until my last 2 recent visits. Last time food was disgusting the falafel tasted old yet me and my husband didn't say anything we thought it was just a bad day for them. I came in again today we ordered 3 falafel sandwhichs a side of fries and 2 drinks. I always order the same order which is a mix falafel sandwhich with no eggplant. The lady brought me out a sandwhich with 90% fries and barley any falafel compared to my husband's sandwhich it was ridiculous I asked her nicely hey can I please get this remade or you can take it off my bill she said since you already taken a bite out of it I can't do nothing. Mind you I take one bite and it tasted all potatoes and right away I let her know and she wasn't willing to do anything so I stayed quiet and once I got to the front I asked for a manager because I was not gonna pay for something that I didn't eat and wasn't what was advertised. She told me the manager is busy I told her fine we'll wait for him because I'm not paying for the sandwhich and she straight tells me to my face okay I won't charge you but if you don't like our food don't come back here again. Lol???? It was so disrespectful and this restaurant was not at all what it used to be. To the lady in the front you're a sad miserable person and I for sure won't come back here again. Save your time and money and go to gilgamesh which is nearby or Al baraka located in McKinney. read more

Very nice place, especially if you like shawarma. It feels like a family-owned restaurant, and you can tell they really care about the quality of the food. Definitely worth trying! read more

So glad my mechanic recommended this place! Our first couple of visits only consisted of beef & chicken shawarma wraps. But this last visit, we also had Falafel, Shawarma Rice & Cheese Pie. You can order take out at the counter, or just sit down to dine in. Food does not take long to arrive, after ordering. You will not be disappointed! read more

Excellent falafel and pita. Made fresh. The baklava are very nice too. Good service, can call ahead and pick up. read more

This is your quintessential hole in the wall in the best way. The food portions are huge and easily shareable. Almost everything we ordered was delicious. My favorite was the mixed platter that had a variety of dips. The warm pita bread with those dips was absolutely delicious. The sharwarma combo was good and the amount of meat we got was a lot. We shared it between two of us and still had leftovers. As someone who loves pickles, I loved their assorted pickles with so many different veggies. Service was friendly and quick. There's a grocery store attached to it as well if you have the need for it. read more

Bilad Restaurant is my beloved middle eastern place to fulfill my dream about the sliced shawarma & middle eastern side dishes for more than 30 years, just didn't have the whatever reason to write about it. But not today when my craving come, just stop by there to get 2 lbs of beef shawarma, a small pack of Hummus, a small pack of Baba Ghanoush, a small pack of Tabbouleh, a small pack of mixed pickled veggies, a large garlic source & two pack of pita breads, these will less me & my wife the whole day to consume with enjoyment until the next craving! just remember the restaurant will be closed on Thursday! read more

I when there on a whim because I was near by. As I was waiting on my food this lady was gushing about how good it was so I had high expectations. They didn't disappoint. This is the best shawarma that I have ever had. I got the combo plate so it came with chicken and beef. Both were amazing; so well seasoned. The hummus that came with it is incredible too. So good read more

Always return because this place is authentic. Best time to go is before 4pm to get the best pieces of food

Service was slow and food was cold by the time they actually got it out to us, the manager was rude and tried charging us for the waters that we had while waiting for 2 hours. DONT GO HERE!! read more

This is one of the original halal restaurants in the Dallas area, and one of the most well known Mediterranean restaurants amongst the local community. Starting in Iraq in the 70s, a whole family brought tradition, quality and hospitality alongside their delicious recipes. Service here is exactly what you'd expect from a family operation, they know their entire menu well and can easily recommend tailored options to guests new and old. There's a self-service aspect to it, but that comes with the territory. The main attraction here is the shawarma, and trust me when I tell you, it's the best in DFW. Get there early in the day on the weekend, and you'll taste something you won't find anywhere else. For a few years they would sell out of one or both of their Chicken & Beef shawarma every day of the week. Plus their Iraqi bread is quite literally something you won't find elsewhere, because it's their recipe and made for their food. It's truly an experience of its own. From Iraq to Dallas, TX, this family has brought the best of their culture to the people of America, and alongside their bakery and grocery store, you too can partake in the culture. I only wish they would move to a bigger location where they could offer more seating, but until then I highly recommend you check them out! read more

9/6/22: Great family restaurant and bakery. Their beef and chicken are sliced thin to order and they taste really good. The salad selection looks fresh. Prices are very reasonable and they serve nice sized portions. The restaurant is cozy and clean. Very nice atmosphere, and they stay pretty busy. Parking is adequate, although it can be a bit congested at times. There's a small grocery store next store which is a part of the restaurant. read more

Best Schwarma in NE Dallas county brought us in the first time 10 years ago, and all TV did other outstanding Mediterranean foods plus all the fresh baked breads and sweets keep us coming back again and again. We love Bilad - and we have never had a bad meal here. When we eat in, the service is fast, gracious and attentive. When we carry out, our food is packed carefully so it doesn't spill or get messy. We love their beef or chicken schwarmas, which are roasted in front of your eyes and can be made spicy if you wish. Other faves are their smooth creamy hummus, generous olive plate, bright fresh tabbouleh, and mixed spicy pickles. Lentil soup is great on a cold day - today it's 100 degrees so we are respectfully skipping the soup! We highly recommend the Iraqi bread, but you can't go wrong with any of their breads baked in-house daily. They have Iranian bread as well as basic pitas and Afghan bread. Get one of each and have a bread tasting!! 5 authentic hand-crafted made with love stars! read more

Great place for a chicken swarms on Iraqi bread. It's a neighborhood bakery/cafe with a small grocery containing lots of middle eastern branded foods and other items. Nothing fancy, but always busy at lunch before prayers at nearby mosque. Was closed on Thursdays party time I checked. read more

I have been coming here for a few years now. It's amazing how such a small restaurant can be so efficient and courteous to all of its patrons. The food is immaculate. It tastes so authentic. The space is a bit small but the taste is out of this world! I would recommend the falafel sandwich but the kabob is out of this world. Something about Iraqi food has always felt like home. That's how you feel being at Bilad, you feel like you're having a home cooked meal. read more

Decent food for price, we took our order to go. Try to be there between 12:30 to 2:30 to get the fresh shawarma

This morning we had an exceptionally delicious breakfast/brunch at Bilad, a small but mighty Iraqi bakery. While the space is small and a bit cramped, the service, available at the counter or table side is warm. With our senses fully engaged, we proceeded to over order- shawarma, kebab, everything chickpea, cheese and meat pies, and Turkish coffee. Everything was delicious, but the true highlights were the baked goods and the shawarma, which was perfectly and freshly carved off the spit. All of the servings were generous, so we left with over three to go boxes. I'm already daydreaming about the leftovers and my next trip. read more

Went with a friend who is middle eastern and had no idea what anything was. I looked at the menu and had her explain everything to me and decided on the beef Shawarma sandwich. To my surprise it was outstanding. Not good - it was outstanding. It was full of flavor and checked every box for my taste buds! Loved it, But I must say I was stuffed by the time I'd finish that sandwich! You definitely get your money's worth here!! My friend got some sample so I could try a few different things. Yum - all were very tasty. There was something that was wrapped in grape leaves that I really liked. I knew, in spite of the really long drive from our home, I'd definitely be coming back ... and lo and behold the following weekend we had to be in Richardson! I took my husband there as I knew he would love the Shawarma sandwich. He surprised me and got a sampler platter (chicken and beef) which was stacked so high with food you could barely close the lid! He loved it but we ended up taking home enough food for EACH of us to have another full dinner. I highly recommend this place. It's not a fancy or gorgeous place to go and eat but the food is well worth the trip! read more

While this place isn't Lebanese (it's Iraqi), they do make some good Middle Eastern dishes and they make their own pita bread too. I thought that their pita bread was tasty even though they do not have the thin pita bread which is what I always am on the lookout for. Taking its cue from their tasty breads, they also have mana'eesh (arabic pizzas/pies), although they're a bit thicker than normal, and use a different kind of cheese for their cheese pies. I'm accustomed to seeing akawi cheese used, but here they use some kind of yellow and white cheese combination that I'm not familiar with quite yet. Still, for $1.50 each, they're tasty, filling, and a steal. Of the four pies they offer, I recommend the za'atar and the veggie. I have yet to try the other offerings, but I plan to soon since I have been pleased with them so far. When I do, I'll update the review further. Atmosphere: Good market atmosphere with few tables and chairs Service: Friendly read more
