Holy peak. The chicken combo shawarma. Fresh off the grill and packed with deliciously seasoned meat without being too salty or sweet. Genuinely delectable food and great service as well. Ambiance was good, felt like a spot I'd take my family for lunch. For combo, shawarma comes w fries, pickled side of cauliflower and carrots, as well as your choice of soda or water. read more

Madina Halal Grill - Chicken Shawarma - Mediterranean Near Me - Richardson, Texas

We have plenty of everything on their menu around DFW, and if it weren't for their late hours I wouldn't even consider them a legitimate option. What was once an institution in the rapidly growing Richardson food scene has become a shadow of its former self. The only place I can give them credit is their service where the owners are on-site and trying to appease the diverse crowd even late at night. Props to them for trying. As for the food, it's ranks amongst the worst shawarma, burger and zinger I've had in town. Whether seasoning was an afterthough just like my patty clearly was on the grill, a good meal it does not make. Not for me. Unless you're being roped into a halal option and it's far too late to get anywhere else, I don't see a reason to visit this spot. read more

Lots of seating, the food had great flavors! The white sauce is and so is the red! The red isnt as spicy but thats awesome for that. Service with a smile. read more

This is one of the best halal food platters in Dallas! This place is very cheap as well. I got a chicken platter and fries on the side. The chicken platter's sauce was perfect. It balanced everything so well. The rice was cooked very nicely, and overall it just meshed well. The fries were very crispy as well. The shop has a bunch of small tables. I would definitely go again, and I give the platter a 10/10! read more

This is a tiny place but they do have some indoor and outdoor seating! I was there for lunch today and had the falafel sandwich combo - which came with fries and a drink. Great quality food and at a really good price point! I loved that the fries were seasoned and they also provided a side of sauce and pickled vegetables. The falafel sandwich was wrapped really tightly but still pretty full- it wasn't making a mess everywhere which was a huge plus. I forgot to snap a pic but it was fantastic and would definitely return! read more

Akmen was very polite and helpful. A lot of seating. Food was reasonably priced and large portions. Unfortunately there was a long hair in the falafel sandwich (was strange because there was no women in the kitchen). The hummus was very good. Had a green pepper mixture on top that I loved but if you don't like spicy I would ask to remove it. Chicken swarma was mediocre. Mix plate was also just okay. Kabobs were dry. read more

One of the Best Halal Mediterranean joints in all of America bar none. My personal in Dallas, the food is of excellent quality and unlike many spots, the meat here is succulent and moist. I've rarely been able to find that elsewhere. Service with a smile and always happy to take orders by phone. Plenty of seating in side and outside of the restaurant. Always clean and lively with many customers and students. When I do live Texas if not the US for good, I'm really going to miss this spot. read more

I got the chicken shawarma here with a side of falafels. The falafel stole the show because it was the crispiest, most flavorful falafel I had ever had. I wish I had just ordered 50 of them instead. The Chicken Shawarma had so much chicken and was well made. Everything was well balanced. The staff were nice and friendly. It seemed like it was just two people on the Sunday I went. The place is a bit small, but they have a second area to sit. The Gyro over rice was good as well. read more

The food is absolutely delicious--true New York-style halal, just like I used to have back in NYC. It hits all the right notes. Honestly, part of me doesn't even want to write this review... I don't want them to raise the prices once everyone finds out. :) read more

Walking in I was greeted by Marcelo. It being my first time trying gyro I asked a few questions and Marcelo had great suggestions. Ended up choosing a gyro wrap and beef and lamb shawarma. Read is the one who made our wonderful food. Definitely delicious food and great service. read more

Friendly service in this non-descript place. It's tiny but the food sure is good! Had the chicken burger which is not your typical chicken burger and it was very good. The chicken (trampo style) is cut off the rotisserie. It was very well seasoned and I ate every bite. Got some hummus to go and was surprised to find it spicy but delicious. The pita was still soft after 24 hours, too. I shall return!! read more

I came here after being disappointed at another restaurant and was thoroughly pleased! I wanted sides to go with food I had at home. I had so many options and was so excited to get what I wanted I ordered more food. The owner and his daughter were so nice! What could've been a $5 sale under up being closer to $30 from sides and drinks. The Turkish coffee had me up for hours... lol I'll definitely be back to enjoy this family business. read more

Great halal spot open late!! Make sure you get extra sauce! They have baklava at the counter and it's some of the best I've ever had! read more

I ordered the chicken bowl. It had rice, chicken, tomato, red onion, lettuce and of course the 3 sauces. It was delish. Definitely will be back since it is up the street. Very tasty and fulfilling. The service was quick and the inside seemed small. I didn't go to the seating area as I ordered it online. read more

The most delicious food ever! I still think about the shawarma I had here. I was visiting from out of state and asked a friend to take me here because they said Moroccan food was bomb. The place is small and unassuming. We were able to get a seat at the table and at some point a family came in and asked to move the other table outside to eat. I ordered a chicken shawarma and hesitated on what bread to get it in but the person taking my order recommended the regular pocket. The shawarma looked really simple, but it was so flavorful and perfect! The pocket was a great choice because it was thin and grilled... yummm. My friend had a falafel shawarma in a baguette and they enjoyed it but said they should have gotten it in a pocket. read more

Top notch. We don't live very far from this restaurant, but it was only last year that we finally tried it after getting home late from an event. Couldn't believe that they opened so late. I always get the madina plate. They give you SO MUCH FOOD. Depending on how much you eat, you can make it 2-3 servings. I love the white sauce, garlic sauce. The meat is delicious, never dry. Love love love read more

The amount of FLAVOR was so refreshing ! I feel like many places lack seasonings and good tasting meat... but this spot kept me wanting more! The pita was so fresh, and the only complaint is that it didn't come with more. The service here was super friendly! Engaging with me and making sure what I ordered was exactly what I needed that day. I will go back for sure! read more

Oh my goodness.... the flavor!!! I ordered the lamb/gyro over rice for carryout. The vegetables are fresh. The falafel... everything is delicious and I take like the mango juice. The gentleman I picked up my order from, was also very kind. I recommend and would return!! read more

I usually get them to go and the food is awesome! My go to are the shawarma wrap/ sandwich. Sometimes I order the combo. The only downside is sometimes they put wayyyyyy too much onions. Like a bunch. When that happens I have to pick them out. I'll try and remember to tell them light onions and more vegetables next time. Still, I love how this place opens till 3 am and how good the fries are. read more

This place used to be good a year or two ago..but fell off recently. No real flavor in their food... read more

I don't know how to describe it. As a child from an immigrant family, I've been raised around very homey, cultural, and peaceful things related to my country. Even though I am not from the Mediteranean region of the world, I get a sense of home from this restaurant. The guys in the back seem so humble and hardworking yet always full of joy. I visit here all the time after my late night studying routine up at UTD, and everytime I walk through the door, whether it'd be at 12:00 PM or 12:00 AM, I'm always greeted with a smile. The food here is delicious, I always order the Chicken Shawarma combo, every piece of the plate compliments the other. There's pickled cauliflour, pepper, and carrots, fried crinkle fries, and a huge serving of chicken shawarma sliced into convenient hand-held pieces + garlic sauce which is the best thing to ever couple with this dish. This restaurant has become my comfort food, and I will always suggest this place to my friends and loved ones. My best friend became obsessed after I suggested Madina. You absolutely cannot go wrong with this place. Mango Smoothie: 8/10 Excellent and smooth texture with reasonable price. Chicken Shawarma: 9.5/10 Flavorful, bang for your buck, so much food for the price UPDATE: They actually expanded their place! It's a very much needed improvement considering that this place is getting so popular. I love the pop of color yet they still manage to make the place feel so homey. read more

This is your typical late night cheap food spot. The beat down tables, quick service, and late night hours makes it great at 12 am! I tried the beef shawarma wrap with fries and a drink. Cheap price, averagely good shawarma, and frozen ready fries. Nothing to brag about, or maybe crave, but it's quick and easy. read more

Stopped I from the great reviews previously left. The owner working the store is what made this for us. There was great pride in his product and delivery. He talked us through his lengthy process in making hummus. He also let us sample his extra hot and spicy sauce with our lunch. The personality and pride showed itself in every bite. We had rice bowls and the shawarma combos. The food was plentiful hot and fresh. The garlic dipping sauce was amazing. We will definitely return when nearby. read more

Madina Halal Grill - Beef and lamb combo - Mediterranean Near Me - Richardson, Texas

This place used to be great for getting a shawarma to go, but after today's experience, I don't see myself returning. I came in the late afternoon at 2:30 PM. There were two gentlemen, neither wearing masks, ahead of me waiting on the rest of their order. They had several bags of clamshell containers. They were obviously feeding a large group of people. I speculate that they had already received the hot, cooked meat on the two rotisserie spits, one with chicken and the other a lamb/beef combo, but it appeared they were waiting for the lower meat layer to heat up so they could have another sandwich. The man behind the counter, also not wearing a mask, took my order. At the time, I was not aware what was going on, but ascertained this after the 30 minute wait. I ordered a shawarma sandwich on pocket bread too, and requested the beef. The man behind the counter ran around frantically in the back room, but checked the temperature of the chicken on the rotisserie with his bare hands. Even at home, I use a meat thermometer...every...single...time. Two children were at a table. One was sitting and. the other was standing on the chair making a mess at the table. There were food bits and crumpled napkins strewn around them. At this point, I really wanted to cancel my order, but I couldn't get the guy's attention. Someone else entered the small, hole in the wall establishment. After awhile, he sat down because no one acknowledged him. The guy behind the counter shaved off slices of chicken and ran to the back to perhaps microwave the meat. I can't be sure. When he came out, he had gloves on. I saw him cough into his glove hand and then hand the customer his food. At this point, I waved my hand in the air frantically and said cancel my order. Immediately I turned and left. With omicron flooding our hospitals, I just didn't need this added exposure. My only regret was not leaving sooner. read more

Food, service and ambience excellent!!! Wow what a gem! I posted video on my YouTube channel of their cozy place!

This little shop in Richardson is actually really good. I heard good things from friends so decided to try it for my self. I got their chicken shawarma and fries. The chicken was seasoned greatly with beautiful Mediterranean spices. It was not dry/overcooked. The fries were excellent crispy on the outside and buttery potatoes on the inside even tho I'm 99% sure they are frozen fries they were good and seasoned! The service was excellent greeted with a big smile and dealt with respect. The store itself is small but somehow it works it feels old but alive still. With inside and outside seating while being open until 3am that made up for the size. I gave it 4/5 because it was missing that WOW factor. Good shawarma frozen fries and good service isn't going to cut 5 stars you need to be above and beyond to achieve 100%. I think that this restaurant does a lot of things right if a few of those things were excellent or above and beyond then maybe you can argue 5 stars. read more

Wonderful customer service. Had the combo plate with chicken/lamb and the zinger wrap. For a family restaurant that keeps it as original as possible, the food quality exudes brilliance and so very flavorful. They pay close attention to food presentation. The salad was finely chopped into small bite sizes along with the meats. The food was not oily yet bursts with flavors and the aroma was just captivating. The only thing we missed was the mansaf available on Fridays. read more
