“This was my first time trying Ephesus, I've heard many good things about it. The food was absolutely spectacular! True Mediterranean dishes made to perfection. Our server Mackenzie was very attentive and gave great suggestions. We loved the atmosphere and food and will definitely be coming back! I have to add now a year later this restaurant is my go to. I go here multiple times a month. Ozzy is amazing, the food is out of this world amazing and the service is outstanding! “
“The food is great. There was a mistake in our order and it took them some time bringing it out but the host was really apologetic and nice about it so no harm done. The food was fresh and the atmosphere was brilliant. Would recommend.Kid-friendliness: Lots of space for the kids to have fun and enjoy their meal as well“
“10000/10 Highly recommend!!!! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality. Nazir (THE OWNER) went above and beyond to accommodate my dietary preferences, ensuring I had a memorable experience. I left feeling not only satisfied but uplifted by the kindness and culinary expertise of everyone .“
“Yum!!!! We have eaten almost everything on the menu here and like it all. Gyros are delicious!!! They do something amazing with the onions on their wraps. rSo mild and delicious!!! Crisp hot fries. Service is wonderful! You oh. An also pick up pita chips (made in house) and dips to take home. So good :)Vegetarian options: Falafel, hummus, and many more items are vegetarianDietary restrictions: Vegetarian and gluten-free options availableKid-friendliness: Sweet and patient with young people.“
“I got the shrimp wrap + fries, and my brother got the chicken shwarma + fries. Mine was very, very good, ~$15, and filling. It was both only a little more expensive than a single meal at a fast food place and much better than fast food, so I'd say it's worth it. The service was a little slow, I think they were making a catering order or something at the same time. It was cramped, so Id take that into consideration if youre in a wheelchair. I also didn't like the chairs. But I was only there for a minute and the food was delicious.“
“I had a very nice lunch here today. My waitress was nice, friendly, and very attentive. Good food and very nice atmosphere! The City of Allen is lucky to have this restaurant! There is plenty of parking and a good variety on their menu with a great location.“
“Really delicious food, my family and I had the kabob plate and the chicken and beef gyro~The service was amazing! These guys are so friendly and sweet, and they bring everything to you~ "The service is 100/100. I recommend ❤️ I will be coming back again“
“I really enjoyed dinner here! It's casual but a good place to sit down and eat with friends and family. It gets super crowded around 7:30+ on Fridays but still pretty decent service! You get complimentary water bottles, a soup (I think it was lentil soup) and dates! Delicious kabob and for a reasonable price! Definitely would come back and the don't forget to stop by the bakery next door and get some amazing baklava!!“
“We recently had the pleasure of dining at Sofra Kebab House on a cold, rainy Saturday. The owner and chef, Ray, who is from Kars in eastern Turkey greeted us and explained the dishes on the buffet. We were blown away by the flavors and authenticity of the food. We lived in Turkey for 7 years and it made us homesick. This was absolutely the best Turkish food we’ve had since moving back to the states. Some of our favorites included the grilled Adana Kebab, stuffed grape leaves, pita bread, kale salad, soup and…well we could go on and on.Ray is proud of his food and business and rightfully so. We were able to spend a little time visiting with him and although we didn’t solve any of the world’s problems, we certainly were on the same page.Great food, conversation and we made a friend! We’ll definitely be back.“
“Love this place. Almost everything I have tried, I love. Service is incredible and the staff remember return customers. My kids love the sunday brunch, I just wish they had more space for the food. Their signature cocktails are the best.“
“recently had the pleasure of dining at Bilad Restaurant & Bakery in Richardson, and I must say it was an exceptional experience! As an Iraqi spot serving delicious Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine, Bilad truly stands out.During my visits, I tried both the beef and chicken shawarma, and they were some of the best I’ve ever tasted. The perfectly seasoned meat, combined with their freshly baked Iraqi bread, made each bite a delight. Their mouthwatering spicy sauce added an extra kick of flavor.The restaurant was bustling on a Saturday afternoon, and although we had to wait a bit for a table, it was well worth it. The friendly staff greeted us with smiles, making us feel right at home. No wonder Bilad made it onto D Magazine’s 2023 List of 50 Best Restaurants in Dallas!And here’s a bonus: Bilad offers vegetarian options and serves halal meat. So whether you’re a meat lover or prefer plant-based dishes, you’ll find something to satisfy your cravings.If you’re in Richardson, don’t miss out on this gem. Bilad Bakery & Restaurant is a must-visit for foodies seeking authentic flavors and exceptional service. ??For more information, you can check out their website here.

“I’ve been here probably a dozen or so times since the first time I found them. I love it. All the staff are great, the prices are extremely reasonable, and the food is AMAZING. So flavorful and prepared with care. And they never skimp on portions. Truly a remarkable and must eat spot.“
“This family owned restaurant isn't very fancy inside, but the owners are super friendly, and the food was excellent. We all had platters of chicken or beef kabob with rice, hummus, tabouli, and lentil soup. It was delicious. We will be back.“
“Absolutely impressed. First time at Villa Vinci recently with my family and everything was wonderful. Appetizers were perfect. My picky children loved the kids pizza and ravioli. Specialty pizza was great and to top it off, Limoncello cake was incredible. Server (forgot his name, oops) was fantastic! Will certainly be back!“
“Everything is HalalThis is the place where you can get real charcoal BBQ items.Chicken, Beef, Mutton/Goat Everything is so Awasome.Trust me, this place is for charcoal BBQ lovers.Mini Platter is good for small family 2 adult and 2 kids.Additionally, Nihari and Bihari Kabab are wonderful ...exactly the same as Karachi style (challenge to Jimmy and Signature Kabab)Enough parking space.Very nice ambiance.Good place for weekend dinner.Parking: Enough parking space.Wheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible @ wheelchair.“

“MUST TRY. Located inside Walmart which is very convenient if you have to run errands in the store. Lovely food and lovely people. The food here is the closest thing to my home country Syria’s food. I will definitely have Shawarma Press on my go-to list when looking for somewhere to eat.“
“What a great find for authentic afghani food. People are so nice and make you feel right at home. The eggplant dish was the best I had in a restaurant. Rib eye kabob was so tender and rice was so special! Next time i come back for buffet to try everything! ?“
“came here on a whim for my friends birthday, there were 8 of us and all of our orders came out in less than 30 minutes. not only that but the food was incredible and the owner was so nice too!Vegetarian options: the only vegetarian entree is the Beyond burger which was really good! but i would love to see falafel added to the menu so i can try out their specialty like the shawarma and gyro bc my friends LOVED theirs.“
“I was looking for some good kebab skewers over a fire grill. I found this place on google maps with very low review counts but high rating. The first thing they done right was have a website menu with beautiful pictures of the food. That was what convinced me to give it a try even though the pricing was a bit more expensive than what I wanted to pay for each meal. But if you go to any restaurant for this kind of food, the pricing is about right. This, of course, is not a sit down restaurant. But the service is great, they make the food fast and right in front of your face fresh. You can even do a bit of grocery shopping if you like, while the food is being made. I bought 3 of the combo meals and brought it back home. My housemates and I loved it. They love Mediterranean food and cook Greek food at home all the time. For me, it's a hit or miss sometimes. But what I have been missing was some of that middle eastern flare. I would say, the meats were grilled to perfection. The rice was heavenly. They give you a bit of pita bread for the sides, grilled tomato and onion. It was soooo soooo good. Wish people knew more about this place. I'm writing this review the next morning and still day dreaming about that fluffy delicious flavorful rice. So what are you waiting for? Go get some kebabs from here, tell them Anh sent you.“
“Tried the Olive burger…because why not! The burgers and fries were really good. I’ve never had olives on a burger before but it was delicious. I’ll eat olives but I usually don’t see them out. Olives on a hamburger give it a salty flavoring that you didn’t know was missing. Definitely a great deal for the price. The portions were plenty. Definitely will be back.Parking: Tons of parking“
“I absolutely love this place! The service was nice, the food was fresh and the mint lemon juice was so delicious! The meat was savory and the naan was out of this world good! Highly recommend you give this local business a visit. You will keep coming back!“
“We came here and truly enjoyed the food, the service and ambience. We got the family meal which was very large in portion size. It indicated 6-8 people but I think it could have fed another 4 people easily. Very happy with the food and will come back again! Highly recommend!“
“Yum, yum, and yum! This place has fantastic Greek food.There are a variety of sampler plates to choose from. It was raining when we went but they have a really nice patio.Be sure to get the dolma. They are lemony bright with minty freshness. They were playing the 80's when we were there.The staff is attentive, and the food is unforgettable.Plan for lots of leftovers and get dessert!“
“A cute, quaint and perfect place for a book club meeting on a quiet Wednesday night. The food is good and the server is so wholesome. It’s a very cozy and a feel good place. Bonus points is it’s BYOB. ?Kid-friendliness: Perfectly find for kids.“
“An excellent Mediterranean restaurant with all freshly prepared food, Cosy atmosphere and very helpful stuffs. The spicy hummus here is a 200 percent recommended dish - it is so very tasty!! Falafel ,Dolma, chicken swarma and chicken kabobs are also superb - while they taste awesomely delicious, they are not at all oily. Am very very impressed with the quality of food here.“
“I've been here 4 times, eating in and dining out, and every time the food is fantastic, the service has been great, and the restaurant has a nice atmosphere, with options for indoor and outdoor seating. You have plenty of options to choose from with great portion sizes for fair prices, and I'll absolutely come back.“
“One of the best experiences I’ve had while eating out . I came in Friday afternoon 4/5/24. The employee at the front counter service was amazing and she also made sure to check back with all the guests in the dining room to make sure everything was great ! The manager was very sweet and attentive as well. Great team ! Luna grill should be very proud of such great employees! Best I’ve seen yet ! Also, of course the food was amazing but that’s a given with Luna Grill !“
“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Alibaba Restaurant in Dallas, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the outstanding service provided by Amanda, our waiter for the evening.From the moment I stepped through the door, Amanda greeted me with a warm smile and made me feel right at home. Her attentiveness throughout the meal was unparalleled, and she went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our dining experience was perfect.I opted for the saffron chicken with falafel as a side, and I was blown away by the flavors and presentation of the dish. Each bite was a burst of authentic Middle Eastern flavors, expertly prepared by the talented kitchen staff at Alibaba Restaurant.What truly set this dining experience apart was Amanda’s exceptional service. Her friendly demeanor, attention to detail, and genuine passion for hospitality were evident in every interaction. She anticipated our needs before we even had to ask and made us feel like valued guests throughout the entire meal.Overall, Alibaba Restaurant exceeded my expectations in every way possible. The combination of delicious food and unparalleled service, thanks to Amanda, made for a truly memorable dining experience. I can’t wait to return and indulge in more of their delectable dishes while enjoying the same level of exceptional service.A heartfelt thank you to Amanda and the entire team at Alibaba Restaurant for making my visit truly unforgettable.“
“Honestly, a very beautiful restaurant, God willing, may God bless you, and may God bless them ♥️ A lot of good work and the prices are very nice ?I asked them for a meat safiha, akkawi, and Syrian cheese pie, as well as a spinach pie. The quantity is beautiful and the taste is frankly delicious and beautiful. I swear I felt like I was in my country ??? and I honestly do not expect a restaurant that serves pies like this to happen in America!Highly Recommended ?????AKKAWI CHEESE PIESFEHA PIESYRIAN CHEESE FATAYERSPINACH BUREK“
“We went there to have iftar definitely this location the best in all Dimassi’s every thing taste and they have kabssah rice it was perfect the good thing it was busy we couldn’t find any tables but they kept everything full they did a great job“
“This was my first visit and the entire experience was amazing!!!! The staff was accommodating for our large group. They were patient with our questions and waiting for us to make decisions. I have nothing negative to say about the absolutely amazing restaurant. The baked items were so fantastic.“
“First time going here and it was very nice looking outside and inside. The outside area is very nice and the inside looks very elegant. When we were sitting it felt like we were in turkey because the music and feel of the place was very Turkish. The food was amazing and the service was very good everyone was very nice.“
“The food was pretty great. I got the tilapia plate, shawarma sandwich, and 3 beef tacos. The price did not seem to match on the menu but this was in my favor. I expected to pay $60-70 for the three meals and drinks but we ended up at $47. The food was really good, but the fish and shawarma did lack some salt however that can often be to taste. My 12-yr old brother really approved of both the tacos and the shawarma sandwich. The tacos were on par with some very good Mexican street stands I've tried. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Unlike other reviews, I did not see 20% gratuity added automatically. I look forward to visiting again!Kid-friendliness: I would definitely check ingredients for picky eaters but for kids who are more open, the shawarma sandwich is bound to be a hit!“
“I love that I could get an inexpensive veggie burger with fries for under 15 dollars. It was good the fries were good too. Definitely will be my go to place to grab a quick bite to eat without breaking the bank.Vegetarian options: Beyond burger“
“I went to Cava yesterday for the first time and not only was the food amazing, the customer service was just a great if not better. Ricky helped me and a friend and was very helpful with it being my first time. He was patient and also let me try the things I was interested in which I didn’t ask or knew that they could do that. He served with a positive attitude and a smile and did not hesitate to answer any of my questions. You don't find great positive customer service like he provided anymore. And he along with the food is why I will be returning to Cava. Thank you Ricky!“
“"My first visit to Dimassi's Mediterranean Restaurant and my first buffet experience happened here in Dallas, and it was a delightful fusion of the best and most delicious delicacies. The mix of Asian and Turkish foods was exquisite, with excellent options for drinks and desserts as well. The ice cream was simply unbeatable. I highly recommend this restaurant, giving it a solid 100% recommendation."“
“There was so far no restaurant in the whole country that was able to provide me thinking I am not in the USA. Fresh made good. Original recipe. Very enjoyable and a must to visit besides all the boring dishes on every corner. Came back already and will definitely when I am back in town. Thank you Andalous “
“Thank you Jaber for your superb service, as always!I frequent this location and I am always impressed by how professional, helpful, and kind Jaber is to all of the customers.I am never greeted without a smile from him and I always leave satisfied and happy to return!Give this man a raise.“
“OMG! Let me tell you about my experience at Shawarma Royale. The owner and every single customer there were the kindest people ever! When I called to place my order for an event, the owner was so incredibly kind and helpful. They made sure everything was taken care of and gave me the warmest customer service. And guess what? When I went to pick up my order, the other customers waiting in line were also super friendly and kind. It created such a positive and welcoming atmosphere. I couldn't help but feel like part of a big happy family. I'm definitely gonna spread the word about the owner's kindness and the amazing customers at Shawarma Royale. Thank you so much ?“
“Love this chain, and this one and this is the best of them! Service is fantastic (extra kuddos to Rafael for his awesome service) and the food is delicious and really such a good value!I always get the spanokopita, Greek salad with chicken (hold the potato salad), and occasionally the soup. All yummy!“
