    *Customers' Choice Platter Wrap, 2 sides (Salad & Taziki), side sauce, and drink (I chose the falafel wrap
    Anj L.

    I recently returned to this diner. It was 11:10 and there was only one other customer in the place. The three employees were all Hispanic with only one speaking broken English. I ordered two wraps and hummus. I requested that one of the wraps be made super spicy. The employee had no idea what I was saying and had to get the one with broken English to translate. They announced it was ready and when I was leaving, the employee said "Happy Memorial Day." Umm, when someone is going to a funeral, do you tell them to have a good time? What is happy about all of the citizens who died for this country? SMH The wraps, which were $11 each, were so small that I was shocked. What a joke! I will not return.

    *Tandoori Press Shawarma 11"
    Anjali T.

    Local "shawarma" spot and I put the quotations because it doesn't satisfy that craving that think have when you think about a proper spot. Came in to try it out for lunch, it's a sit down or takeout spot. Looked for my go to options but, nothing was really speaking to me other than the tandoori chicken shawarma wrap so I tried it. My biggest pet peeve is when you give me something that I could have made easily and better at home and that's exactly what I got. A very anemic looking, overly spicy was that was severely overpriced. For the same amount I paid for this, I can get a lot more food elsewhere. Service was quick but, I was far from satisfied or excited. Provided all angles of my skinny wrap.

    I tried the beef shawarma, fries, and shanina. The beef in the shawarma had good seasoning, but it was dry and had more of a liver-like taste than beef. The fries were okay, though there wasn't much of it in the bag. I didn't enjoy the shanina--it had a strong, pungent flavor that didn't appeal to me. The customer service was decent, and the restaurant was clean, though there was an unpleasant vinegar-like smell in the air.

    *Falafel Wrap 11"
    Amanda L.

    So good! Ordered the Arabic Style Platter with a falafel wrap. The pickles and fries are really flavorful!

    Where do I start, The customer service or the food. Or the DMV SPEAKER that announces the customer orders. Starting off the female cashier service was horrible, no greetings, very dry, or care for the customers. It was very frustrating and I felt as if maybe I was the problem until the other customers said the same thing. As a middle eastern man myself I felt ashamed to bring my American friends here to represent my culture and food. Once the food arrived I would rate it a 5/10 edible. Chicken shawarma and beef shawarma meat was dry. The garlic sauce was like mayo with garlic powder. The French fries were crispy but hallow and had an old oil taste. Really don't drag bad experiences but I hope the business owner takes the right actions to keep this middle eastern business striving. I know my middle eastern community and how welcoming we are, this place didnt represent anything about the Middle East.

    I got the tandoori chicken wrap combo and the wrap is really good! My only complaint is they don't have unsweetened tea. I got the lemonade and it is too sweet so I want to mix with unsweetened tea but unfortunately they only have sweet tea. Fries is just okay. Will order the wrap alone next time

    The food is amazing! Packed with flavors and quality. The customer service is excellent very friendly and helpful. Inside is big and spacious and seems to be pretty clean. They are quick with your order so no long waits. I will definitely keep coming here.

    Rice Bowl Special
    Robert M.

    If they allowed 1/2 stars I'd give 3.5. Just not quite enough to round up to 4.0. I had the rice bowl special with chicken / beef combo, Mediterranean / tzatziki salad, and tahini sauce. Overall the food was decent. Better than some of the one- and two-star reviews would lead one to believe. But there was an odd (to me) flavor throughout; I'm guessing I should have asked for something other than the tahini sauce. Service was fast and efficient. Ambiance was nice and clean with plenty of seating.

    Great fresh made shawarma with great flavor. Order was taken immediately and food was ready within 10 mins. It's a casual atmosphere and was not too loud. It was a great overall experience and the owner was very welcoming.

I wanted to try everything on the menu but ended up getting the Wagyu brisket, ribs, Mac & cheese, beef tallow fries, empanada. Everything was 10/10 and I recommend trying all of these menu items. For the sides definitely try the fries & Mac n cheese. The Wagyu brisket was so tender and the ribs melted right off the bone. They also have specialty drinks. The blueberry one was delicious. A lot of restaurants don't get the fizziness of drinks right but Kafi scored a 10 across the board.

The bark on it was heavily seasoned. Beef ribs were tender but again quite dry and overly seasoned. The dish that immediately ruined our meal was the jalapeño cheddar sausage. The texture was extremely mushy and the meat inside tasted like someone already did the chewing for you. We also got the mac and cheese, corn, basbusa, banana pudding. I could explain them in depth, but I would just recommend not getting them. The brisket empanadas were the only thing we all looked at each other with excitement for! It was our favorite part of the whole experience. Total we spent was $180. I won't be coming back but I do recommend trying it out if you don't believe me!

I can only rate…read moremy order pick-up experience , where the female employee was friendly and helped me promptly. One thing to note is that some of the side dishes have different prices on online orders when you add them on to your entrees vs. adding them separately ($.99 + difference). **Average Dish Cost(s): Under $8. **Food: 3 Piece White Meat Meal ($9.28)-- I chose white meat ($.80) and extra biscuits ($1.89) which increased the price from $6.59. The chicken was extremely delicious. It tasted fresh despite my order being late in the day and the skin was crisp and seasoned so well that I ate all of it. Usually I'll peel the skin off and discard it, but not this time. The white meat was juicy and nothing pink was found. 10/10. Extra biscuits ($1.89)-- These biscuits were some of the best I've ever had. Their outward appearance didn't match how delicious they were. They were soft and had an essence of honey to them. Side Mashed Potatoes ($2.99)-- I admit I was hesitant to eat this because I expected more of a brown gravy, but these were amazing! Not too salty and they tasted fresh. **Seating: Looked to have regular table style seating that is closed off due to the virus issue. **Location: It's located next to a bunch of other establishments within a mini strip type of place. Google GPS lead me to a park that's a but away, so be careful. Lots of parking spaces.

    If you ever feel like eating KFC, take a good long look at yourself in the mirror and remind…read moreyourself of this place first. KKC has some of the best halal fried chicken I've had in the US, especially in the DFW area. This is one of those comfort meals you crave at 9 PM on a Tuesday that can't be beat. The ambiance is that of your average hole in the wall chicken joint. Overall I rate this place 8 s/10. ------------ The Zinger burger (basically a spicy chicken sandwich) is my go to order from here, a solid 8.5/10. They always put a huge chicken patty in there and a generous amount of sauce. You really can't go wrong. Their chicken itself is an 8/10, upgraded to 8.5 with the garlic sauce. They really got the spices down right. I would not recommend the Mac and cheese (5/10), it's very watery and lacked any flavor. The potato wedges were great though. (Although I'm not sure how you could mess those up).

I had this place Yelp bookmarked and I had not seen the Toyota Music Factory complex before now, so we drove the mile over. The place was empty at 2pm on a beautiful Saturday - I imagine it is quite busy when anything is playing at the TM venue. We ordered the southern fried chicken sandwich combo (to split) with fries. ($18 including tax and tip) The southern sandwich comes with pimento cheese and I find that hard to resist on any menu! - Splitting the sandwich was plenty of food to not leave you too stuffed. Casey was working the register - and maybe he was helping in the kitchen too. Our sandwich came out pretty quickly and was super hot. It was very crispy and a bit sticky, not too hot, very tasty!! Quite large too - the chicken thigh extended out quite a bit from the bun. The fries were Crinkle shape (my fav!), nice and hot, not too salty. FYI, with a combo you have a choice of only fries or mac and cheese (though there are other side options available al la cart). There was a card on the table to register to win $100 gift cert, so we both registered. Casey came by after to ask us to register, when we said we already had - he said we were entitled to a free banana pudding for doing so. Then he bought out TWO banana puddings. WOOT!! I think the 2nd pudding will be better tomorrow when the vanilla wafers have time to absorb more into the pudding. The free puddings got them the extra star. Casey was great - and really seemed to care that the few customers in the joint were happy and well taken care of. Bathrooms were clean. Couple suggestions: that they had ketchup as a "pump option" - rather than all individual packets. And boy oh boy I would have LOVED a DIET dr. pepper on tap (they had regular).
