After being in The US for more than 2 years, Afrah has the best chicken shawarma, and the most similar-in-taste chicken shawarma to those in Saudi Arabia. They serve Ice Cream, and Arabic desserts .
Alex GronbachJune 23, 2017Great for large groups (20+ people) as there is a ton of seating area. Lots of options for food, including many tasty vegetarian choices. A bit pricey, but everyone can agree on Afrah for lunch.
AbdulazizAugust 15, 2015This restaurants is one among the best middle eastern food I've tried outside of the Middle East. I've tried the shish tawook with hummus, Basmati white rice, and Fattoush salad. They all taste good.
I’m not generally a buffet guy, but this place is solid. Good options that are kept fresh and stocked. Love the hummus here.
Rose IbrahimJuly 14, 2013Chicken shawarma grilled on the spit comes out a little on the dry side but there's a garlic and tahini sauce to balance it out. Portions are large. Bread is soft and yummy. I'll be back. Enjoy!
Social News NetworkDecember 2, 2013Sitting outside during nice weather is perfect but beware- many go for hookah as well. It doesn't take away from the amazing food but be prepared for that environment!
RAugust 21, 2014A great place to dine in from time to time and taste the verity of Arabic food..They have a daily buffet. However, I rather to order a dish cuz it tastes better! it's awesome in the weekend..
Hannah AlkadiJune 6, 2022Come hungry, leave satisfied, and eat happily. I was not expecting to have moussaka nor kafta balls but I couldn’t scoop them fast enough!
Great way to sample Afrah's food is via their M-F buffet. All the schwarma plates are excellent!- Mayank AnkarajuApril 25, 2015I love their falafel sandwiches and plates, hummus, and babaganoush. Their pita bread is also fantastic, as well as their gelato.
- Usually don't like salads, but here the Greek salad is a MUST! Don't forget to try the hummus and the baklavas!! :3
If its nice out, try to sit outside. Pros= The food is the best Arabic in town by far. I love the hummus and chicken shwarma. Cons= the bathrooms are never clean. The service is horrible.
The food is very good and at a really great price. This is a really good value for lunch.
Worth the trip for the Akkawi pie alone. But it's all good. And of course there's Shawarma. And gelato.
Hassan BarzaniMarch 16, 2014Great food and some of the best middle-eastern food in the Dallas Area for sure. It has a family enviornment for everyone no matter what you are.
Their Chocolate Mousse made my list of "30 Days of the Best Foods in Dallas" at http://bit.ly/NI3fU6.
Travis BradshawJanuary 11, 2015Wonderful Lebanese food! Try the markouk shawarma for a fun change, it has whole wheat bread.
J MartinezOctober 16, 2013Everything I tried was great. The best hummus around DFW and the chocolate mousse ...unbelievable!!!
Samiah AngariFebruary 15, 2015I always order lamb kabob and hummus. I don't recommend the lunch buffet.
The akkawi pie is amazing! Soft and creamy and buttery, it's the best!!- The buffet here is the best ch oice for your first visit to explore all the different items from the #Mediterranean.
Everything is perfect - hummus, falafel, dolmas. Do not forget to save room for guava gelato!
Akkawi cheese pie is a must try. All the grilled meats are good here.
Christian WrightMay 24, 2015lamb kebab plate and salads are off the chain..Do it..Super nice people..
Nadine MansourOctober 7, 2012Make sure you try the Afrah sampler. An assortment of all the classics. Perfect for sharing.
Sultan AlsharifSeptember 26, 2021The mixed grilled was delicious, but honestly the shawarma wasn't tasty, stuff were nice
Navjot SinghOctober 12, 2016Loads of food on the buffet, but the food was was not very warm . Seemed nice but was over powering . The place is big and has hookahs also. Overall a ok experience and expensive buffet .
Andrei TofanJanuary 4, 2013Excellent place and service. They also have hookah. The lamb kabob is great!
Lisa ThompsonJanuary 4, 2013Went with a girlfriend during lunch and had the best food! The staff was super friendly!
Try the pistachio baklava! And take some to go to have at home later! Delicious!
Christine CoutuFebruary 16, 2016Looks a bit like a cafeteria inside but the waiter was funny and helpful and the prices of most items are low.
Mel GeorgeFebruary 14, 2011Best Arabian food in Dallas by far. Try the Shawarma and finish off with the brown Kanafeh.
Good buffet, Gyros are super tasty. The Arabic gelato is AWESOME!
Great food! The hummus is awesome. Get it, you won't regret it. :)
