But he was nice and was willing to help us out if we had any questions. The pita was so delicious. I think it was complementary, but I am unsure about that too since I ordered hummus. Anyways, I ate that up. It came out hot. It came with two dips. One garlicy white sauce and a tangy orange sauce. The pita tasted amazing when I combined the two sauces. I tried the chicken bowl as well, but it wasn't really my kind of seasoning. The chicken was well-made though. It was my first time trying such a cuisine, and I guess it's not for me. However, I appreciate the food culture and care made into it so 5 stars!

I hate writing this because this used to be one of my favorite places. I've been coming here for a…read morewhile, and today honestly felt like losing a local gem. I came in for the soft opening after weeks of renovations, and while the name and menu are the same, everything else is not. This is not the same restaurant. If you knew the original owner, you would know he created something special. It felt like you were being welcomed into his home. He took pride in the food and in making sure every customer felt well cared for. Appetizers always came out first with some friendly conversation, and you could feel the care he put into every detail. That experience is gone. First, I waited 30+ minutes for a dish that normally takes 15, even on a busy night. When I left, a couple who had ordered before me were still waiting for their wraps! Second, the food has changed. The chicken shawarma and gyro recipes are different, and the gyro was actually cold. The sauces, which used to be the highlight, are not the same. The red sauce is gone, and the garlic sauce tastes different. The rice is different. The salad is now a small pile of romaine, onion, cucumber, black olives, and corn with no dressing. Overall, the new recipes feel like a massive downgrade from the original recipes. Lastly, I told the host I would be dining inside, but my food was served in plastic containers. Meanwhile, a nearby group that appeared to be staff or family was served plated food that looked noticeably fresher and better prepared. It honestly felt like their food was prioritized over paying customers, which may have explained the delays. The menu photos have not changed, but they no longer reflect what is actually being served. That feels misleading, especially for customers like me who were excited for the reopening. Very disappointing.

Funny that I'm on this website to write a review almost 8 years from the last time I was there. I…read moregot to thinking about good BBQ, and it made me think of one of the best I've encountered, Hard 8. I used to travel a lot for work, and would hit this place when I could. Suffice to say, it left a lasting impression on me, because here I am, almost a decade later. The atmosphere is everything a Texas BBQ joint should be, and having folks enter from the pit area was a stroke of genius. It really sets the expectation & mood. There's "decent" BBQ places here in Ohio, but there's no question Texas does it best, and Hard 8 is a true standout! (LOVE those charros!) This will be the 1st place I stop to eat if ever again I'm in the area. Honorable mention to Tyler's BBQ up in Amarillo if anyone gets out that way.

First I got the brisket, regular potato salad, sweet corn, cheesecake, and a Diet Coke (I know, oink oink piggy amirite ). But yeah it was really frickin good like what am I supposed to say. The second time I got a half chicken, twice baked potato salad, Mac and cheese, sweet potato fries, cheesecake, and a ranch water. (Holy moo could he order any more food) and yeah I was stuffed and satisfied. Only complain is they didn't use topo Chico for the ranch water but a piggy eats whatever slop the farmer pours in the troph. Thanks hard eight. I'll be back.

Kafi BBQ is a Halal BBQ joint in Irving-Valley Ranch that serves up some of the best brisket in…read moreNorth Texas....as long as you reheat it at home and eat it the next day. The pitmaster (a great follow on Instagram) continues to work his magic and create creative dishes that pair flavors from his home country with Texas smoke. My Overall Rating - 3 1/2 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - Kafi has undergone a makeover! Gone is the mural with the Wagyu cow. It's been replaced with a natural wood wall that also extends to the line. At the end of the line is what you came for, smoked brisket, back ribs, and more under a heat lamp (more on this later). Kafi BBQ keeps the hookah friendly outdoor space, the red (and comfortable) booth seating, and the smell of smoked wood. 1 Star. Service - The staff is great. Once it's your turn, they will slice your meat to order. I forgot to ask for fatty brisket the last time I went, and they were nice enough to slice it for me. Once your meat is weighed, you get your sides and desserts. Great system - I hope they don't change a thing. 1 Star, Food - I think I figured out why each of my visits to Kafi BBQ haven't been as good as others'. Because the next day when I heat up my leftovers, the brisket is amazing. Kafi BBQ's food sits under a heat lamp. If you visit later in the day when the brisket and ribs have been sitting out, your meat will be dry. All my visits have been the same, and I had to dip it in BBQ sauce (you may or may not like it). Same goes for the sides, the fries sound amazing, but each time I ordered them they had been sitting out. Now, the next day when I reheat the brisket (put it in an oven for 45 min at 225 degrees), it's some of the best brisket in all of North Texas. Heads up! Wagyu brisket comes at a price. I usually spend $100+ for me and my son. 1/2 Star. Will I Return? - Yes. Salahodeen continues to hone this craft. Each visit continues to offer a new experience. While Kafi BBQ is only open Thursday - Sunday, it's still one of the most unique Texas-style BBQ joints (with a Halal twist) in all of North Texas. 1 Star.

Everything is made…read morefrom scratch, so yes, you'll wait a bit for your chicken or beef, but that's the price of greatness. I ordered the chicken wrap (totally thinking I was ordering the chicken kebob wrap, but that error is totally on me). The wrap had chicken thighs, a mildly spicy sauce, and french fries tucked inside. Not bad at all. Now I'm already planning to return for the kebobs. The real MVP moment? When I ordered to-go, the tipping screen popped up like it always does, but as said as I hit "to-go," the counter person deleted the tip screen and the total appeared. A business that understands I don't need to tip someone for handing me a bag? Woot. It's the little victories that make life sweet.

My wife and I went here for lunch and really enjoyed the food and service. I was looking forward…read moreto making this my new lunch spot, because I love supporting small businesses. The next week I tried to go to lunch there, but it was closed because it was a Monday. I thought fine, you gotta close sometimes and noted that they were closed on Monday and Tuesday. I went back the next week on Wednesday and they were closed again. No holiday, no warning just a note that they would be closed for the week. I never went back. I know it's difficult to run a small business, but being open at predictable times is basic business. The key to thriving as a small business is location (foot traffic), quality and service. All three have to be superior and consistent. If one of these is mediocre or inconsistent it will sink your business. It's sad, because they have a good thing here.

We often order Korean-style chicken, which is chicken covered in sauce and comes with rice. My kids order chicken nuggets with original sauce and maple syrup. The original sauce is delicious, but the sweetness of the maple syrup and the flavor of the chicken go together perfectly, so I want to go there at least once a month. There is a self-order machine on the right side as you enter the store, and it was ready in about 10 minutes after I ordered. The staff are also very kind and friendly!
