THE GOOD: We both had breakfast and both enjoyed what we ordered very much. The service was…read moreexcellent. All three of the people that came by to refill coffee and water and to check on us (multiple times) were very nice. We were fortunate to arrive at the perfect time for a Saturday morning, as we would find out in just a few minutes, as we watched the wait list grow. This being our first time, we weren't sure of the seating situation. I walked to the back, where the to-go pick up was located, to find that we can sit anywhere and that someone would come and help us. We did, and they did. I suggest you stop in and give Curuba a try. Very reasonable prices, lots of menu choices, wonderful staff, oh, did I mention the coffee? I love dark roast coffee, "Just black, please". This Columbian coffee is dark, rich, smooth and flavorful with an aroma that hits the senses with every taste. If you're a dark roasted coffee fan, stop in for a cup to go. You'll be back. And even better, the coffee comes from Columbia. They purchase it from a local importer (I believe). They provided the url via QR code. We believe in the "Buy local" philosophy. It's nice to see businesses doing business with local businesses. THE BAD: It's a small restaurant. Making a reservation (Open Table) is likely a good idea. We happened to find it at a slow moment on a Saturday morning. OVERALL: We're fans. I'd love to take our friends and family for lunch, or tell them about our new find. However, there are some things better kept to oneself.

Been wanting to try out Curuba for a while and finally made it in with a friend for lunch…read more I'd like to start by saying that the service is fantastic. The gentleman practically went over the entire menu with us which was much appreciated . We were constantly checked on and felt really welcomed. My friend got a coffee and said it was very good . We also tried the lulo and Maracuya juice . I highly recommend the lulo if you enjoy tart and sweet ( the maracuya was a bit too sweet for my liking ). We started off with the empanada sampler and Marcilla au gratin . Not big fans of the marcilla - way too much dairy . The sausage itself was good, but wouldn't get it again . Our favorite empanada was the calentao followed by the brisket. The chicken was just ok. We both agreed that our main course, the sancocho de costilla was yummy . If you're looking for a hearty soup that feels like a nice warm hug, I'd highly recommend . Overall, worth checking out . I'd come back to try other dishes and grab something from the bakery .

I was so joyfully greeted on this cloudy & rainy morning. I immediately wanted one of everything, so I asked for a moment to take in all the wonderful offerings and make my selection. I immediately knew I wanted fresh bread to take home & selected the cinnamon raisin bread loaf. They kindly sliced it for me before bagging it up. I also chose the Banana Nut Muffin with Chocolate Chips. I planned to take my goodies home, but barely made it to the car before I dig into the muffin and ended uo finishing the entire thing in the car - it was SOOO good and so filling! When I got home I dug into the bread. My favorite bread back home was the raisin hazelnut and Bresnan's cinnamon raisins is better! Full of soft raisins the bread, while I hate this word can't think of a better description, was moist. I ate another slice and then my son (picky eater) asked for a bite. He was so impressed he asked for a slice. It's been 24hrs and there are 3 slices left! I may have to go back again this week to get another loaf. There will be many more reviews of Bresenan to come as I plan to go back and try other breads as well as the baked goods and cookies. I also plan to bring a book on one of these visits. Maybe set up in the beautiful window seats or a cozy and quiet table to enjoy my fresh baked treat with a coffee and relax.

These guys are awesome, don't lose this please. Mixed appetizers were fresh and flavorful. Standard hummus and tabouleh and this place does it well. Kebabs were top notch and the variety of 4 types in the mixed grill hits the mark. What brings it all together was the saffron rice. Prices right and not inflated like other kebab shops which altogether will keep me coming back. Family vibes inside. Really liked this place. Great job guys.

You can feel the kindness of the people running the place, which makes the experience even more special. We ordered the masgouf (grilled fish), mixed grill, lamb qoozi, a variety of appetizers, and of course, tea at the end. Everything was absolutely delicious. The flavor of the masgouf -- the smell, the taste, the way it was grilled -- took me straight back home. It's rare to find that kind of authentic taste, and they absolutely nailed it. The portions were generous, and every dish was made with care. The tea was a perfect finish to a great meal -- I almost forgot to take a photo because I was enjoying it so much! If you're looking for real Iraqi flavors and amazing hospitality, Nay is a must-visit.

We ordered the…read morepepperoni cagliaritana, Caesar salad, TNT panini, small three cheese pizza, and tiramisu and every single thing hit. The cagliaritana had the PERFECT ratio of ingredients and the crunch on the pizza was unreal. Everything tasted and smelled insanely fresh. The Caesar was loaded with freshly shaved parm and somehow tasted way better than a Caesar salad has any right to. I think the croutons were also homemade? Perfect! The small three cheese pizza was also perfect -- great crust, great sauce-to-cheese ratio, and honestly the perfect size to split with someone alongside a salad. But the TNT panini?? Holy crap. The second you unwrap it, the smell of the garlicky focaccia hits you immediately. And the pink sauce was some of the best I've had. The tiramisu was also the perfect sweet ending to the meal. It wasn't overly sweet and soggy like most in this area. Cannot wait to try the cannolis! After years of searching for real Italian food, I finally feel like I found it. Fresh ingredients, amazing flavor, and genuinely kind people. The owner (or who I believe was the owner working the front) was so friendly, accommodating, and transparent about timing. We ordered ahead online and everything worked out perfectly. Already excited for the leftovers and cannot wait for another visit!

I came here with family to celebrate a birthday and they more than delivered. The ambiance was nice, not too loud and with a classy look. The staff was very helpful and attentive. They came and checked on us multiple times. We did family style, and honestly that was probs my the best choice because there was too much goodness on the menu. I had some experience but also leaned on the staff for guidance. I would say my top three personally were the: lamb kebabs, Iraqi Quizi and the Lehmajuhn(flatbread pizza) The Quizi might have been the best part of the meal and a whole party in my mouth. I'm also a sucker for good hummus & baba ganoush and I was just about ready to lick the bowl clean. Overall, there was nothing I can mark down about my visit here. 10/10 I would recommend to anyone in the area

Good food, great service, so-so desserts - in a nutshell…read more Everything we ordered, in terms of food, was delicious. I always love a good dip platter and this did not disappoint. I have only had Ezme at one other place, and this was definitely better. I always love baba ganoush and this was so good, especially with the warm bread. The family meal for 4 was plenty of food. All the meats, including the chicken items because a lot of time those are over cooked. The lamb tikka, and sheeh tawook were my favorites, but I did enjoy them all. The desserts were a miss for us over all. The ice cream was on the icy side and not as creamy, kunafa was ok but I've had better. The baklava was like any baklava you can get, so not bad. It is slightly pricey but worth it in my opinion. Nice place that can accommodate larger parties, but also has some booths for intimate date night. The meat is also halal so a great option for anyone that needs that.

This spot perfectly captures what a great meat market should be--full of character, packed with quality local products, and anchored by some of the best smash burgers around. The burgers are consistently incredible: perfectly crisped edges, juicy centers, and layered with just the right balance of flavors. You can tell there's real intention behind every ingredient. Beyond the food, the market itself adds to the experience. It's a celebration of local vendors and thoughtfully curated goods, making it just as fun to browse as it is to eat. There's an authenticity here that's hard to find--nothing feels generic. The atmosphere is relaxed, welcoming, and full of energy, especially in the heart of downtown. It's the kind of place that feels like a treat every time, whether you're bringing friends, family, or just enjoying a casual outing. If you're in downtown McKinney and want something that feels both elevated and genuinely local, this spot is an absolute must!
