Friends, this is a must visit. I took my young son, who had never experienced Lebanese food, after we studied Lebanese culture and history. Both of the waitresses that we had were incredibly kind, welcoming, and patient. The entire experience was fantastic. The food reminded me of the home-cooked Lebanese food. I had back in Zürich, when one of my best friends cooked for me. There were some folks at a table and they were obviously having such a lovely lunch together and joking about who was going to treat whom. Just felt like family, being there. I believe we met the owner? He was so kind to my son and to me, making sure that we knew we were welcome and invited back. For what it's worth? Hands-down, the best hummus I've ever had. The Chicken Shawarma, falafel, hummus, and vegetables - I cannot recommend this treasure enough. read more

Schwarma was very good. Both salads, Arabic and Greek were also top notch. Only suggestion is don't be afraid to explain the menu items. You are going to get a lot of new people in that don't know what Sujak or other items are. Tell us. Be proud of your food. It's great. See you again soon! read more

Fool (Egyptian Style) was delicious. The Zaatar+Cheese pie was almost perfect. Egg&Potato Pan was amazing. Egg&Beef Pan was good but a bit dry. The pita bread was plentiful and delicious. You get to watch the chef make it all if you want, all of it is made to order. The GenZ-er waiter apparently did it want to be here apparently, bordering on useless, even the chef had to sing the bell 5-6 times to get her off here cell to pick up our plates I'll be back to try the rest of this different Mediterranean menu to eat real food! read more

Authentic Middle Eastern Comfort Meets Flavor Explosion! We stumbled upon this hidden gem and left completely blown away -- and very full. This spot is bursting with authentic flavor, love, and generous portions that feel like they came straight from someone's home kitchen. Let's talk about the food: Maqluba with Chicken This was the showstopper! A glorious half chicken -- tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned -- resting atop a tower of aromatic rice, baked golden cauliflower, eggplant, and potato slices. Oh, and don't forget the crispy almonds on top -- they added the perfect crunch. It comes with a bright, lemony-vinegary salad that cuts through the richness. Every bite had that nostalgic, comforting Middle Eastern magic. And did I mention the portion? Massive. Bring your appetite or a friend (or two)! Mansaf Mansaf lovers, rejoice! The lamb shank was perfectly cooked -- fall-off-the-bone tender -- and the hot, creamy, mansaf sauce poured over yellow rice and crispy almonds on a paper-thin tortilla was divine. It was rich and hearty, and we kept going back for more spoonfuls of that white sauce. This dish was a beautiful mix of textures and bold flavors -- the almonds added such a fun surprise crunch! Italian Shawarma Plate Think of it as a Middle Eastern-Italian fusion calzone -- cheesy chicken goodness wrapped in warm bread, served with pickles, spicy sauce, and hot fries that had just the right kick. Not your classic shawarma, but definitely a delicious twist. Super fresh and fun. Ayran (Salty Yogurt Drink) Everyone loved the ayran -- cool, tangy, and the perfect match for these rich dishes. ‍ Service? A+ Friendly, fast, and genuinely warm. You can tell they care about their food and their customers. This place is new but deserves ALL the buzz. It's a flavorful journey through Mediterranean comfort food, and we're already planning our next visit. Don't walk -- run to support this spot. Your taste buds will thank you. read more

Third time here in a month- and I brought my BFF with me so she could see what she has been missing out on. She loved it too! Still 5 stars. Delightful Family serving Authentic Arabic Food that takes me back to my childhood. IYKYK. On this visit, I ordered the Meat Fatteh with Almonds and Olive Oil. Also shared a Zaatar/Cheese pie and split a Tabbouleh Salad with Mom. BFF ordered the Hummus with Ground Beef and the Lentil Soup. Friendly, attentive service, relaxed ambience, contrast and balance of flavors and spices, and ideal portions for a reasonable price. Traditional vibe. Mint and Cardamom Tea is the golden ticket here! It is so flavorful. We will continue to patronize this Family Business as often as we are able. read more

One of the worst delivered meals I've ever had. Everything turned up messy (poorly packed), greasy, and covered in oil. Just trying to open the packaging resulted in a mess all over my table. And then the flavor - so much oil - it just overpowered the dishes. Really bad flavors - absolutely the worst Mediterranean/Middle Eastern food I've ever had. Couldn't even eat the bread! What a waste of $30. read more

Food delicious, plentiful and authentic. Server on her phone and useless until owner walked in. No A/C and insufficient fans even at 11:00 am on a cloudy day. read more

Naya Al Hashem - Beef Shawarma, meat Fattah, Aryes meat - Mediterranean Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Delicious hidden jem in Richardson. I stopped in here because sometimes I go to the laundromat close by and was excited that anew Middle eastern restaurant was opening. I will say that this is some of the best falafel I've had in Dallas and maybe anywhere. It was fresh, you could tell it wasn't one of those pre-frozen falafel's that just gets thrown in the deep fryer. The bread was amazing and fresh. The baba ghanoush was creamy and very well seasoned and delicious. It didn't have that crappy bitter taste that you get in some baba ghanoush and it didn't have the strings of eggplant in there. You can just tell a lot of care and thought goes into the food that they make here. I would have taken pictures of my food, but I ended out devouring it all before I got home. the staff there was very kind. I believe it was one of the owners that came out to talk to me while I was waiting for my carry out food, and she was very sweet. You can tell there's a lot of history/love in the recipes because this tasted like something a grandma would make for you. There's a few other places in Richardson for decent falafel, but this one is at the top of the list. Also, the interior of the restaurant is very big and all of the staff there were very kind so it seems like it would be a nice place to eat in as well, but since I'm always on the run, I just had time to stop in for some carry out. I definitely will be in going back. Absolutely loved it. read more

Absolutely adorable place with great food, the owner is super hospitable and kind and the menu has from breakfast to dinner to something for your picky kids. Absolutely loved it! read more

We were visiting from out of town and Yelp reviews brought us here; and all 5 star reviews were right on point. If you are looking for authentic (you can see family cooking in the open kitchen), great tasting and comprehensive menu, this is the place. We enjoy Middle Eastern / Med restaurants frequently and also cook at home regularly. So it is rare for us to give a 5 star review for this cuisine! Here we enjoyed everything; Zatar bread that was rolled in front of our eyes, my wife said the lentil soup was the best she had, hummus was luscious and authentic and finally the bomb was Maqluba with chicken that was brought to our table and turned over on a plate; it was steamy, tasty and flavorful. IT was accompanied by perfectly complimentary tatziki type yogurt sauce, I will get this dish every time I go there! Our server was a young lady Lia who was on top of everything; courteous, efficient and responsive. They could improve upon ambience a bit and turn down those bright white lights. But it was organized and very clean. Wish they had a location in Austin! read more

I'm so glad we chose this spot for dinner tonight. I hadn't had lamb maqluba since we moved from Tampa three years ago, so it was a real treat. I actually found this place on Yelp and saw they had both maqluba and mansaf on the menu, so I had to give it a try. My wife ordered the chicken shawarma platter with rice and a side of fries, which she shared with our younger son. It also came with a fresh side salad. Our older son went with the chicken musakhan. Everything was freshly prepared and served hot, and honestly, this was one of the best meals we've had since moving to the Dallas area. The lamb was incredibly tender and full of flavor, and the rice was just as delicious. The customer service was excellent too. The young man and woman who greeted us were both warm, courteous, polite, and very helpful. The restaurant was very clean, and the ambiance was warm and inviting, simple yet tasteful, making it a comfortable place to enjoy a meal as a family. All in all, it was well worth the 20-minute drive. read more

I came to Naya Al Hashem for breakfast, and it was absolutely exceptional. You can truly taste the authenticity in every bite.

Will come back again in the future! read more

This place is great. The menu is fairly extensive and offers many different items to try that i had never heard of before. Pleasantly surprised when we were brought pita with olive oil and zaatar shortly after we sat down. We had the egg + cheese pie (a piece of oven fired flatbreas with egg yolks cooked under melty cheese) and a chicken shawerma sandwich, and pot of the cardamom tea (you can get it with mint or without). Everything was massively delicious. The spices on the chicken left me wanting more and more, and the bread had a great flavor and soaked up the juices from the meat. Prices were very fair and portions were large. people were very friendly. i would love to go back. "Check it out" read more
