The fresh kanafeh is always warm, crispy, and perfectly cheesy with just the right amount of sweetness. We also love getting an assorted selection of baklava--it's flaky, buttery, and packed with flavor. The ambience is bright, welcoming, and a great place to sit and enjoy dessert. The service has always been friendly and attentive, which is one of the reasons we keep coming back.

This is a bittersweet review for us to write. As you can see, we posted our first glorious review…read morein 2017 when Bigdash first opened and could not have loved this place more. It was SO special. We haven't been back in many years and not only did that magical original location close, but what we found instead was this monstrosity of a location that felt hyper corporatized and commercial--in other words, soulless. Listen, we don't begrudge them their success. And we were so happy for them when we saw them being mentioned in the NYT a few years ago. But now Bigdash has gone full American--they've expanded to multiple locations, the quality has gone down, and that je-ne-sais-quoi magic is completely gone. We came here yesterday after a stellar meal at Khashoka, excited since it's been so long since our last visit. We walked in (it was freezing) and the whole place looked like a Disney-ified version of the original Big Dash. There was one woman working, and she was very friendly, but what a different experience than mingling with the original owners in the unpretentious cozy ambience. The worst part is that the ice cream is nowhere near as good! The original Arabic ice cream's level of rose water was off and the ice cream's stretchiness felt less organically created. The pistachio was OK. Our daughter got this crazy container of small individual frozen fruit shapes that were covered in chocolate. Those felt cute and special and we liked them all except for the grape. Again, we're happy for Bigdash's success. They deserve it. But we will not be back again because what we loved so much about this place is no longer. Tis the American way, alas! Three stars and sincere best wishes to them.

This one was a little bit too mushy and the texture was too liquid. 3.8/5 I also took the malayeh which was white pudding desert , which was not too sweet and very tasty . 4.4/5 Will come back to try other items in the menu and also my preferable version of fatteh!

I've seen the price go from: $15, $18, $20, to $25... TAX AND CARD FEES HAVE AWLAYS BEEN INCLUDED. Well, today.... The young man told me it was $25 plus tax. So he said it was over $84 for three people. I complained a little to him about it and went on, THEN my wife heard the lady next to my male cashier charge someone the $25 flat with no tax!!!! I of course went and asked her WHY???? She said because the other guy paid with cash.... There is not tax!!!! I said you mean a credit card fee right?? She said NO.... If you pay cash there is no tax!!!!! I'd like the Great State of Texas to look into this one. I bet the comptroller would like to know about this!!! TBH, I really don't think the other guy probably even paid cash. It felt like a hate on whitey move to me. THIS PLACE IS SHADY.

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.

I finally took advantage of some extra time I had and checked them out. This is a nice comfortable home-feeling atmosphere here. Instead of the typical restaurant or pizzeria type tables, they utilize what you would find in kitchens at a home. It's not a big chain by any means just a small family business. As I do at any restaurant that serves pizza that I try, I ordered a plain cheese pizza just to get a feel on what they're doing here and how they're doing it. I have to say it was pretty solid! There was a perfect ratio of sauce to cheese and their oven did a nice job browning the cheese on top while perfectly cooking the crust of the pizza. The pie crust was very tasty. I certainly would not hesitate to come here again!

We have tried their kabob one time and it was okay but nothing special. They don't have regular tap water and you have to buy bottled water which is fine with me. What I don't like is when asked for shatta/hot sauce, a small container will be brought in, and then they will you charge you for that without telling you about the extra charge first. Almost all mediterranean restaurant never charge for any shatta, in my experience, but this restaurant does! On top of that, extra charge for shatta is not mentioned in the menu or anywhere or verbally said by the server. Not sure how hard is it for the restaurant to be transparent with the pricing with the diners. Their Richardson location website also doesn't work and I am not sure why it is then advertised on Google. The other thing I don't like is that they now have new items on the menu like rotisserie chicken and other items. It is not mentioned by the server and also not listed in their restaurant menu. How would the customer know about these new items? They also do catering and have varitey of different items only available through catering. Again, how would customer know about their catering service and about those items only available through catering? Not sure what the thinking process is, but they surely are losing interested and potential new customers to other bunch of similar restaurants in the area! They have to improve their communications if they want to survive and thrive.
