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.

I've seen the price go from: $15, $18, $20, to $25... TAX AND CARD FEES HAVE AWLAYS BEEN INCLUDED. Well, today.... The young man told me it was $25 plus tax. So he said it was over $84 for three people. I complained a little to him about it and went on, THEN my wife heard the lady next to my male cashier charge someone the $25 flat with no tax!!!! I of course went and asked her WHY???? She said because the other guy paid with cash.... There is not tax!!!! I said you mean a credit card fee right?? She said NO.... If you pay cash there is no tax!!!!! I'd like the Great State of Texas to look into this one. I bet the comptroller would like to know about this!!!

Walking into this restaurant feels less like going out to eat and more like being welcomed into…read moresomeone's home. From the moment you step in, you can tell it's family-owned--not just because they say it is, but because of how genuinely warm and attentive everyone is. Every person you interact with clearly cares, and that kind of energy is hard to fake. The food is where they really shine. Everything tastes fresh, flavorful, and made with intention. You can tell recipes have been passed down and perfected over time. Whether it's a simple dish or something more complex, it comes out consistently excellent--no shortcuts, no cutting corners, just really good food done right. What stands out just as much as the food is the service. The staff isn't just friendly--they're invested. They take the time to answer questions, make recommendations, and check in without being overbearing. It feels personal, like they actually want you to enjoy your experience, not just get through another table. Places like this are rare. It's the kind of restaurant you come back to not only because the food is great, but because you feel taken care of. You're not just another customer--you're treated like a guest. And that makes all the difference.

Upon entering, my friend and I were greeted immediately with warm smiles and a friendly welcome. Since it was my first visit, I asked for recommendations due to my dietary restrictions, and Sarah was incredibly helpful. She suggested trying one of the bowls and mentioned I could add an additional kebab for a small upcharge. I was deciding between the salmon and the falafel, and she kindly offered to include a falafel at no cost so I could try it as well. That level of thoughtfulness and service really stood out. I ended up ordering the Santorini Bowl with salmon, and everything was fresh, well seasoned, and satisfying. Both Erika and Sarah checked on us throughout the meal to make sure we had everything we needed, which I appreciated. As someone who follows a pescatarian diet, I'm always happy to find a place with quality seafood options, and Luna Grill is now added to my list. I will definitely be returning.
