I recently visited Big Dash and I'm still thinking about the desserts!…read more The hazelnut baklava tasted just like a Ferrero Rocher -- rich, nutty, chocolatey, and perfectly sweet. Absolutely delicious. The butter cookie roll was soft, buttery, and indulgent without being overwhelming. But the real star was the kinafa. The cheese pull was INSANE , perfectly crispy on the outside, warm and gooey on the inside, and balanced with just the right amount of sweetness. Easily the best thing I tried. Don't walk, run to try their desserts. You won't regret it!

While I was visiting my friend in Dallas, she mentioned this place, so we decided to check it out…read more It's a nice a spacious cafe but it was busy. Luckily we managed to find parking and seating inside so we decided to get the kunefe to share because it looked so good. You can watch them make it fresh, and the smell was so buttery and delicious that we had to get it. We decided to get the classic one but there are plenty of other Kunefe options available to get. It was perfection. I liked that they have the extra pistachios and sugar syrup on the side because we had control over how sweet we wanted it to be. My mouth is watering just thinking of eating this again! I'll definitely be coming back for the Kunefe!

great rice bowl/wrap place on campus…read more This restaurant is located in the Northside area of the campus. It's in a complex so there's a good amount of parking in front of the store. Inside, it has a couple of tables, and a window counter. Food wise, they have rice bowls, wraps, and a long counter of sides, sauces, and two types of rice. Service was friendly. We had the gyro over rice, falafel over rice, kofta over rice, falafel wrap, gyro wrap, gyro fries, mango cake, rose cake, samosas, chai, and mango lassi. First off the food was very delicious. The gyro was our favorite meat. It was moist, shredded thin, but not too thin. Kofta was also meaty and juicy. They break your kofta into pieces, so it's easier to eat. Falafel was also crunchy, and I liked that they make it smaller sized, so you can scoop up more falafel with the rice instead of having to cut it up yourself. Yellow rice was very flavorful, and I even enjoyed the lentil rice as well. I thought the lentil rice would be more dry, but it wasn't. I was a fan of all the sauces, they had seven different types. They have the heavier white and gyro sauce, but also tahini as a lighter option as well. All of the sides were a hit with the fam. Two things to note were that the mushrooms and sautéed onions had some spice in them, and the chickpeas could be a little softer. The sandwiches were both filling. Pita bread was soft and they both had a good amount of meat/falafel in them. One thing they do different is they add two of the sides in the sandwiches as well. Usually gyro places only add the chopped onion/tomato/lettuce, but at this place they let you choose which veggie/sides you want to include in the sandwich. The gyro fries are a great option when you want something heavy, but not a typical meat. There was a decent amount of gyro on it, and the fries had some slightly spicy powder on them too. They recently started including the chai and samosas, and it would make a good evening snack. As for the desserts, they were tasty as well. I prefer my baklava with a little more syrup, but I do have to admit it is a bigger size than most places. Between the cakes, I liked the mango cake more. The rose cake is good too, but I felt it had more cream compared to the actual cake. The mango cake has a lot of cream in it as well, but the pulp balances it out. Overall, we really liked the food, and will definitely stop by again!

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.

Ask them for the fries in it, and it will taste as good as the guro's in Greece etc. The blend of spices, sauces, pickles etc is perfect.
