    Best Iraqi food in town! Super clean and delicious. Great atmosphere and friendly customer service.

    Dessert - it's like a sponge cake and made with coconut
    Andrea H.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Slicing meats.

    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.

    Shawarma salad was great, its definitely something I would reorder. The kebbe sandwich however wasn't great. The ambience and service could be improved as well.

    We drove est one hour to get these delicious Middle Eastern food from our place and it's totally worth it to try. I also like their tamarind drink.

    Falafel sandwich. Very good.

What is great about this is that the initial room is great for placing your order, looking at the menu, chatting with the staff, paying, and waiting around for your food to come out. The next room over is great for finding a seat, relaxing, and eating without being jostled by people coming and going. Food was pretty good. I forgot to specify the bread wrap, so my sandwich was more like panini than a shawarma. My husband was less than enthralled. He wasn't a fan of the lamb mix, but that is to be expected as he didn't grow up with it and hasn't learned to acquire a taste for it. Staff are really friendly here. Food comes out quickly and remains hot on the way home.

    Hands down my favorite Mediterranean restaurant I've been to in DFW. Everything is always…read moreconsistently fresh and flavorful. The sauces are amazing - tzatziki, hummus, baba ghanoush, and more. I personally love the chicken cooked in a yogurt sauce, roasted cauliflower, and chickpea moussaka as my top standouts, but truly there are too many delicious things to name. I love how many chicken options there are as someone who isn't crazy about beef or pork. There is also falafel and plenty of beans for your vegan/ vegetarian friends. There were markers for allergies / preferences on the labels, but I didn't attend too closely as I don't have dietary restrictions. They have tasty rice pudding topped with pistachios and fresh fruit as something sweet to pair with your meal. I enjoy the lentil soup for dipping pita bread in. All you can eat buffets are always the best for getting to try everything and making everyone in your party happy. It's a bit on the expensive side (around $25 per person before tip), but it's totally worth it for special occasions.
