Khashoka - Chicken Shawarma - Middle Eastern Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Khashoka has been on my list of to-do places for a long time. And it did not disappoint! First of all, it gets packed here on weekends - be ready to wait (which is not fun in the heat) or sign up for the waitlist beforehand! The restaurant is very well set up, though for folks who are stroller-based we might struggle as seating is very "cozy". Food is the star of the show here! Every appetizer we tried were fantastic. The Hummus and Baba Ganoush were to die for! Pita on the table were hot fluffy and always refilled. We loved the mains too, we had chicken in white sauce and Chicken Sajja were amazing (friends got the red meat and lamb and they were raving about it too). Overall if I can get a table without major wait this experience is to be repeated again and again!!! read more

In my opinion and based on our experience. Went to this much-vaunted restaurant for dinner while on a visit to Dallas. Chaos-Good Food-Overbilling, about sums up the experience. The place does not accept reservations, wait to get in was 30 mins - evidently a very popular place, but the chaos once in was to be seen to be believed. Jam-packed dining area with tables/chairs in very close proximity - our table legs were wobbly so had to hold on to it firmly. We were attended to promptly and orders were placed - restaurant has a policy of only serving bottled water; nothing special, just regular water bottles one can get at the local grocery store. No tap water! Asked for cold water bottles, but they came out very warm - server promised to get three cups of ice in lieu, but totally forgot! Finally had to flag another server, who brought them over promptly. Servers appeared completely overwhelmed with the chaotic situation! The highlight was the food - Oil and Zatar, Beef Sajia, Eggplant and Beef Fatteh, and Tomato Skillet (latter was okay, just mushy tomato sauce with little flavor). The meal was served with delicious, warm bread! Prices were generally fine for the quantity on offer, except that the Sajia seemed overpriced at $26! All in all satisfactory meal, barring the chaos, indifferent service, and the water situation - was shocked to be billed $3 for a bottle of water that perhaps costs 50 cents or less to procure - I can understand restaurant markups, but $3?! To the restaurant's credit, the manager took off the $10 charge without argument - commendable, but even better if the restaurant were to provide tap water and not hold customers hostage and fleece them in this manner (disclose pricing up front and provide bottled water to only those who insist). Cost of the meal for three topped $75 with taxes and tip. Overpriced/overhyped a bit, perhaps due to celebrity visits, including that of the King of Jordan recently. I am sure there are humbler, cheaper places around that serve equivalent or better food, with less chaos and better service. read more

We had tried a place in the shopping center that we loved & were eager to try other places so we dropped in for lunch. The atmosphere was upbeat & busy! We were immediately greeted & seated several minutes later. Our server made excellent suggestions chicken with white sauce, chicken swarma & beef??? (All pictured) the beef dish was the table favorite! We started our meal with a vegetable tray & hummus. We were stuffed! We will be back soon! read more

Khashoka is one of our favorite restaurants in the Dallas area. The food is consistently delicious, and the inside of the restaurant is decorated beautifully. There are so many good appetizers to try, but I wouldn't skip the hummus; the texture is so smooth, and the flavor of the tahini really stands out. My favorite entree that we get almost every time now is the chicken with white sauce, which has a creamy, savory sauce, juicy chicken, vegetables. I highly recommend trying this! It also goes so well with the bread here. Other dishes we enjoyed are the Jordanian mansaf, which is made with super tender lamb, and the beef sajia. For dessert, we really like the kunafa which is sweet with a crispy top and the perfect way to finish the meal. read more

Authentic, no frills Mediterranean joint! Highly recommend a visit to Khashoka! We stopped by at around 6pm on a Saturday and luckily got a table for 4 with no wait! The restaurant is very lively and the service was friendly. My only complaint is that they don't have real napkins, just Kleenex. The hummus is some of the best I've ever had. The ingredients are so fresh and it was so smooth! The halloumi and falafel were both tasty, but a bit cold for my liking. I really enjoyed the cheese Manakish! For mains, we got the Shakshuka and Potato Skillet. The Shakshuka eggs were scrambled, which I wasn't expecting, but still flavorful. The Potato Skillet was 10/10 a must order! Spicy, tangy, and a bit crispy -- I'm still dreaming of it! I'd definitely come back to try more of their menu options next time I'm in town! read more

4.5/5 stars Khashoka is a Jordanian restaraunt that opened up about six months ago in Dallas and it's hard to believe that a restaraunt so young could deliver such good quality food, but that is what I experienced my first time there. I also appreciated that the staff were very sweet and welcoming. For food, we ordered the Yalanji (hand rolled grape leaves with rice and vegetables) which are served cold, but were very flavorful served on a bed of lettuce. Additionally we chose the Hummus khashoka (hummus mixed with tomatoes, pickles and parsley) served with warm pita. The hummus was tasty, but the other dishes were honestly more of a highlight for me overall. For main entree, we ordered the chicken with white sauce (includes bell peppers, carrots, broccoli, mushrooms with white sauce and topped with mozzarella cheese and khashoka spices). The cheese pull on this dish is incredible; the blend of cheese to protein, to veggies was very well balanced and we asked for rice on the side which was a great complement to the dish. The white rice comes with nuts and parsley garnish. My favorite thing I've eaten in a restaraunt in Dallas as of yet has to be the wild zaatar and cheese pie. The dish consists of zaatar bread baked with cheese, extra virgin olive oil, and thyme. It was so heavenly I honestly considered ordering two for the road. The bread was so soft and the cheese was perfectly seasoned and slightly juicy. Lastly we ordered a post dinner tea which is a black tea blend with soaked mint leaves (perfect for digesting the meal afterwards with some sugar). I honestly can't wait to go back and try the other dishes I didn't get to this time around. read more

the hummus is the best here. It was creamy, flavorful, and it has a kick from grounded pepper. Between two people, we shared beef sudjia and chicken creamy. The creamy chicken baked inside a clay pot and pita on top tasted like chicken alfredo. It was good but i'll pass on that next time because flavor was too similar to italian chicken alfredo. The beef sudjia was my other favorite. I would describe it as Jordinian beef fajita but with different spices. It was so good. I took a bite out of the pepper on top and it was actually spicy. We sat outside and it was beautiful. For those not familiar with the culture, there's a box of tissue at every table for hygiene purposes bc food is meant to be shared. Just in case you were wondering. Service was not that great, he took our order and didnt come back to check on us. He also wrote down the wrong table and we had to flag down people everytime they bring out the food but I overlooked that bc the food was so good. The area is busy for dinner read more

Really wanted to try Khashoka during Ramandan, but they were fully reserved every time I called. Which only made my expectations go up, but was slightly disappointed when I finally got to try it. To be clear, food was NOT bad, it was good - it just wasn't incredible. To be clear it was not fine dining, so the portions were rather small for the price. Service was great and ambiance was incredible. Will i go back? Hmmmm, maybe, if someone else wants to go. We tried: Beef shajia Chicken Shawrma Chicken liver Shanklesh Hummus Fresh Mango juice read more

We came in for a special anniversary lunch and this place did not disappoint! First our wait staff was so nice, gave wonderful recommendations and shows us pictures. We for sure needed to get the beet root salad, then the chicken tajin, wild zaatar and cheese pie... The bread that comes to table is warm and so delicious, poofed up and soft! Next time we so need to get the hummus and pickle dish! I have already decided! Very cozy spot, bright and I love the decor. Great for a casual lunch or even a lunch date! read more

The raving reviews are totally justified and Khashoka is the real deal. Khashoka means 'spoon' and is associated with leaving the spoon, using your fingers and enjoy family styled dining. The decor of the restaurant is authentic and gives a wonderful window into Jordan. Spacious and well maintained. The restaurant was bustling on Saturday afternoon but there was no wait time for a table. We were a large group and service was really good. Now for the food. Our table ordered a variety of dishes and we got to taste a lot of their signature creations. My favorites were the chicken liver, beef bajia, hummus with beef, fried cheese and the rice. The hummus is creamy and the green chilli sauce adds a wonderful flavor. For dessert we tried the kunafa and Mohallabiah. I enjoyed the Mohallabiah, was not too sweet and had the perfect balance of flavors. Plenty of parking is available but can get busy. Pricing : Not an inexpensive restaurant but there is total value for the price you pay. The portions are generous and can be shared. read more

We stumbled across this place while I was looking for a nearby Middle Eastern restaurant, and wow! The interior design and atmosphere are fantastic. I can't say for sure how authentic the food is, but it's definitely tasty. I wish I had tried something other than the white pan chicken sauce though. It's exactly what it sounds like: good, but not anything special. On the other hand, their hummus and beef were amazing! I'll definitely be back to try other options from the menu. They really lean into authenticity... in that there's no tap water, and the only option for still water is their $3 bottled water. We ended up getting $9 smoothies, which were rich and concentrated, so no regrets there, but I still wish there was a tap water option. read more

This was one of those times where I really appreciated living in DFW. Sometimes I forget that we have pockets of awesomeness all over the city. Sure, I know the layout of my neighborhood and the fabulous places around, but I had no idea there was a ton of really cool Middle Eastern restaurants in this area of town. I met up with some familiar and new faces for lunch on a weekend and was extremely impressed with everything. We ended up ordering a ton of random things and like how a group of serious food lovers should, we all shared family-style. So many things to mention, but my tops were the hummus (yes, I know, how good can hummus be? Really good it turns out!), the fried cheese, and the eggplant and beef fatteh. Seriously thinking about coming back soon just to try the other half of the menu! read more

The hummus Kashaka was creamy and delicious, the bread it comes with was straight from the oven, puffy and warm. I had the Lamb leg which was also great. The chicken souvlaki was also delicious And the tea? I always rate the hot tea, best cup I've had in a while. Cute little tea pot, strong flavour and a mint leaf. This place is as good as everyone says it is and the servers are friendly, happy and add to the atmosphere. Thank you Lawand! read more

Khashoka - Cute little tea pot - Middle Eastern Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Came to try this place out with a friend and the food was amazing! The restaurant gets quite busy so I recommend coming early. We came around 11:30am and there was already a 15 min wait. By the time we left the place was packed with a line of people waiting outside. We ordered the hummus (fresh and very tasty) with complimentary bread. Chicken with white sauce was delicious, creamy, and reminded me of a creamy chicken pot pie. Lastly we ordered the beef sajia which was so flavorful and was like a stir fry with beef and veggies with some spices. Dessert we ended with the khashoka sweets which was their signature bread dough wrapped around a filling of Nutella with pistachios on top. Delicious! I will definitely be back to try more dishes! read more

So incase you are wondering, which you are probably not, I found my new favorite local restaurant in DFW. 100% my new favorite. Service- outstanding. Although, I struggled with what to order, the waitress was SUPER helpful and kind when helping us understand each food item. Food- FRESH. Everything we had just had this wonderful flavor and tasted like they just made it. Especially, the bread and hummus. I want to try everything on the menu. Everything we got was superb. Our order: Hummus with beef Fattoush Beef sajia Chicken with white sauce Khashoka sweets Large tea pot Fresh orange juice Environment- loved the entire vibe of the place. It was like being thrown into Jordan. How lucky are we that this is the first location in the US?! KHASHOKA IS SOOO GOOD, & worth the line and wait!! read more

There are always some places which gets a lot of popularity on social media. People start sharing about the place the way it looks, but obviously that's just the view from the photographers eyes. They are catchy and you do one visit and we did. As soon as we got there plenty of other Eastern restaurants on the same boat, which will confuse you or which will tell you what to visit next time to try something new I'm not gonna talk about it. Any other restaurants except this one for now I'm not gonna lie I must give five out of five for the ambience the atmosphere the feel the service of this restaurant definitely called our attention there they're super nice service amazing respectful fast I was not very impressed by the food just because there's plenty of options to choose and to be fair we haven't had a chance to try a lot of other menu items. But to be very honest with you, I did order our main course, which was mansaf and I have tried this at multiple restaurants. I am very disappointed with the rice that they gave. It was mushy, not flavorful although the lamb shank was cooked well it only works and compliments if the rice is good and I was disappointed there. But hole in hole, it was a good experience to visit a place. read more

While this is a cute little place and the ambiance is nice, there is nothing that stands out. Not sure what the hype is about! Walked in at 630 and had a 20 min wait for table. After being seated, the waiter did come by and take our orders, the food also came out fairly quickly. The hummus and eggplant dish were good, while the chicken sajia was underwhelming and spicy. The waiter didn't come by at all and we had to ask twice for some to go boxes and the check. It was packed so perhaps it's just not my cup of tea or maybe the other dishes are better. read more

The vibe here is amazing! We went for dinner on a Saturday and it was packed. We ordered the beef sajia, and it was incredibly delicious -- you can really taste the quality of the meat. We also tried the Jordanian mansaf. The meat was great, though the rice was slightly overcooked. Finally, the chicken shawarma was cooked perfectly. Overall, it was a great experience. The prices are higher than most places, but the quality of the food definitely makes it worth it. read more

What an incredible find.!!! With so few reviews, even though they were all raves, I was skeptical. I definitely did not expect a wait at about 2 pm on a Saturday, so I would suggest trying a weekday if you can. We only did wait about 15 mins, but that is rare in the DFW. I ordered on the safe side, but after seeing what other tables were getting, I wish I had been a bit more adventurous. We ordered the falafel, the hummus with beef which was a standout, the halloumi with honey, and an eggplant dip with walnuts. The hummus was especially memorable since they import the chickpeas and olive oil from Istanbul. Everything came with four fresh out of the oven pita breads that had a lovely flavor, possibly fenugreek seeds?? We devoured every morsel Service was fast and friendly, and our server Raheem was outstanding. There was something other tables were ordering that looked like a savory chicken pie with dough baked on top, and we are absolutely getting that next time. And there WILL BE many next times here!!. They really make a big deal out of birthdays here with drum banging and singing, which was fun to see. Also, I have never seen this before, but the bathrooms are almost like bidets with a hose for washing up. They were spotless too. This place is a bit off the beaten path for us in Richardson, but it looks like this area has quite a few Middle Eastern spots worth exploring. Count me in. This part of DFW is shaping up to be a fantastic place to discover great food. read more

So cheesy and absolutely delicious - loved the texture the vegetables added to it and how fluffy their pita is. Also tried their grilled white cheese which paired perfectly with the honey on top, as well as their chicken shawarma. Highly recommend this spot if you're into Middle Eastern cuisine! The olive trees outside added to the ambiance. I will say it takes a while (20+ minutes) for them to take your order once seated, however. read more

Khashoka is a Jordanian eatery in Richardson. I had been eyeing this place for a while after seeing it on social media, and happened to be in the neighborhood, so why not! Immediately when you walk in, you will notice and feel the lively ambiance. It was full of people enjoying meals and community, drums were being played as waiters were wishing a guest happy birthday. The smell was so hypnotic, I couldn't wait to order. I love falafel and hummus, so I got an order of falafel and the hummus with beef, and for the entree, I got chicken liver. The falafel is inarguably some of the best falafel I have ever had. The hummus needed no seasoning whatsoever, and the chicken liver was gamy like it usually is, but paired with the hummus and bread--**chefs kiss** (but you really have to be a liver lover to appreciate it). I will definitely be coming back to try the chicken with white sauce and the Jordanian mansaf as recommended by Abed. Abed was a very gracious waiter as well! read more

This place was solid... Walking in, I loved the ambiance. Stonework and Woods gave the place a warm and home-like ambiance. Our service was great. The waiters here are professionals and give the place a classy feel. We ordered several items (see photos) and everything was very good. I ordered Chicken Shawarma, and also a flatbread. We also had some beef strips sautéed with peppers and onions in lamb tallow. It was our waiter's suggestion and it was very good too. read more

We had a fabulous meal when we went to Khashoka with one set of parents on our recent visit to Dallas. Despite being from the same part of the world, it was our first time trying Jordanian food, and it was beyond delicious. Let's get the "bad" stuff out of the way: they don't give you water here! You have to purchase bottle water, which seems vaguely illegal. And we saw a guy at the table across from us vaping inside, which is definitely illegal, and also disgusting (staff did nothing about it). Other than those minor complaints, we pretty much loved everything about Khashoka. The decor is really fun and feels "authentic", our waiter was very friendly, and the food is extraordinary. There's no alcohol, but you can get a mint-lemon "smoothie" drink that is refreshing and helps cut through the richness of the dishes. Our daughter had a strawberry "Khashoka cocktail" that was also quite fresh. For food, you pretty much can't go wrong. There's a standard vegetable plate with cucumbers, tomatoes, and pickles, and we also appreciated the tabbouleh. One of us found the hummus to be a bit bland and too thick, but still, everyone in the table devoured it and it's still better than you can get at 95% of places. For heartier dishes, we got the kibbeh with tahini and the Jordanian mansaf. The kibbeh was good since the meat was tender and the sauce was great, but one of us just isn't into hot tahini. We were super excited for the mansaf since this is *the* dish of Jordan, and we loved it. For $29, we expected a bigger portion of lamb, but of the one that we got, the meat was falling off the bone and it was heaven with the rice and yogurt. Not to be missed! There's also freshly made pita that has fenugreek seeds in it that makes for a nice added twist on things. So, overall, a stellar meal that will have you rolling out the door. We certainly can see ourselves coming back. read more

The atmosphere puts me in another place in time seeing all the artifacts and their history is literally right in front of me.

Finally, a Middle Eastern restaurant in DFW that isn't cookie-cutter. This Jordanian spot is the complete opposite of the sterile Dimassi's/Fadi's formula. No cafeteria vibes here -- it's a proper sit-down restaurant that feels like you're eating in a friend's family living room. The decor is unreal, straight out of a late-'80s home in the best way possible. Warm, personal, and full of character. The chicken and halloumi were standouts, and I was genuinely surprised by how good the coffee was too. Service was attentive and easygoing; shoutout to our waiter, Zero. If you're tired of generic Middle Eastern food and want something that actually feels authentic and soulful, this place is a win. read more

Heard about this new Jordanian spot and had to try it and honestly, wow. The second you walk in, you feel like you've been dropped straight into Jordan. Every detail, even the flooring, seems so intentional and really adds to that feeling like you're sitting somewhere in Amman just enjoying life. The place was packed and super busy, but the staff still managed to give us a great experience. The food was exceptional. We enjoyed every single thing we ordered. Yes, the portions might feel a bit small for the price, but it didn't bother us, the flavors and the overall vibe totally made up for it. And if it's your birthday they come out with a drum and sing for you the energy is so fun and lively. All in all, such an enjoyable meal and definitely a spot we'll be coming back to. Highly recommend! read more

Although the mansaf was delicious, the rice was mushy. The hummus with beef and pita was just alright. It's overhyped and overrated since while there's a wait, I feel like the wait was not worth it since I had better mansaf and hummus before. I get that it's one of the only dedicated Jordanian restaurants in the United States, but it's not worth waiting a long time for just okay food. read more

Now keep in mind they are setup as a true Middle Eastern restaurant and what I mean by that is individual drinks or bottles of water. No free refills on anything.
