Afrah offers Shawarma Pita sandwiches, fresh bread, pies and our homemade gelato and baklava. Featured in the Dallas Morning News and D Magazine, Afrah offers the rich and exotic flavors of the Mediterranean in the casual comfort of our Richardson, Texas restaurant. Started as a pastry shop in February of 2002, our Mediterranean sweets became so popular that we decided to provide more of our family’s Southern Lebanese recipes to our customers, evolving into the full service restaurant we are today. A family-run restaurant, the majority of our dishes evolved from our mother’s recipes, prepared in house with Halal meats and the freshest ingredients.  Added on January 19, 2004 and last updated 1 year ago

★★★  I go there about once a month. If you want to enjoy Afrah you have to know what to order. Afrah Burger is Awesome, it is my common order. The gelato is great too. The pies are tasty. The rest of the menu is average or below average. Most of the plates I ordered were not that good. In general, get the burger, the pie, and the gelato and you'll be satisfied.

  This place has horrible service and I will never go back. They have a dozen people working yet no one asks you if u need anything or caters to u. They all just stand behind the counter and talk to each other. We had get up 5 times in the middle of our meal and ask for small things that should've been provided to us without asking. We even complained to the manager and she just smiled. Food was good but service made us decide to never go back!

★★★  The food is "ok". It's not the best med food I have eaten and it's certainly not the worse, but simply alright for the moment. The time I went, I had to keep asking the people who worked there for utensils, such as napkins and forks. They won't ask you, so you have to make sure to ask them.

★★★★  Overall, the food is good. I’ve tried almost everything on their menu. Gyro, grilled chicken, chicken shish tawook, and Afrah burger are my favorites. One of my favorite middle eastern restaurant.

★★★  Food is okay. I don't go here for the food. I mainly like their gelato and fruit shakes.

I actually prefer their appetizers over their meals.

  We ordered few items such as variety of kabobs as well as soups and salads. The soup was cold and way too salty. The kabobs were rubbery and salads were drenched in salad dressing. We had requested dressing on the side. The staff members were very rude. They refused to do anything about the food. We suggested to taste the food and see for themselves. The bathrooms were filthy. Prices are high, food is bad and their staff members need serious lessons in customer service.

★★★★★  Simply the best arab food I ever had since eating in Dearborn, Michigan. Try their Chicken shawarma, if you ever been to middle east, this is the closest it gets.

★★★★★  I've been living in Richardson for less than a week and already have been to Afrah several times! the rest of the recent reviews describe the food pretty well. I'll just add this... THE ABSOLUTE BEST GELATO ICE CREAM ANYWHERE!!! The strawberry, cherry, pink guava and mango are absolutely must-try. Love the place.

★★★★★  I just love this place. Been there many times and will go again. the food is simply awesome. the service is great and the atmosphere very nice. I just love the Afrah burger as well as grilled chicken, they're heavenly. Although its a bit pricy but i dont mind giving an extra buck or two for an extra ordinary evening with great food. Awesome awesome place!

★★★★  this is one of the best restaurant in this area. I went many times. whenever I get chance and visit Dallas, I go to Afrah to eat. The food is really good, and shawrma for to go as usual. The prices are okay. Don't visit in the weekend unless you call to make sure they have space for ya. The place is okay, you can sit inside or outside.

★★★★★  These people make a great burger. Try the wraps also if you want something on the run. The restaurant is large and looks clean. They also have a large shaded balcony where people choose to eat.

  Dirty ... If you want to give an idea about this place, then this is the correct phrase. Before you eat a bite, take a look on your platter for unusual meat types, you may find what we found there ... A HUGE MOSQUITO. It was a disgusting experience. Not Recommended

★★★  Very packed place (me and my wife went on a saturday evening to try the place). Food was OK except that the beef kabob I had wasn't good. Their pastries are good. Caution: just drink bottled water if you go there. They brought a glass with a piece of bulghur on it, the place is a little bit dirty. Won't go there again. Average middle eastern place.

★★★★★  Great place to eat, they have a wide selection of fresh made from scratch foods. Their beef kabob is consistently the best I have had as is their fresh bread and pastries. I have eaten here many times and its always great. Friendly staff as well.

★★★  A little overpriced but not bad at all. They have very good meat and spinach pies. Their kabab sandwhich is really good. Go during lunch from 11-3pm...they have really good deals on shawarma's and pies.
Their baklawa is not outstanding but not too bad. Their fresh ice cream is delish. They play very upbeat good music..just a good atmosphere all around.

★★★★  Everytime i go to Dallas my cousins and i head over to this place to get some of the best ice cream and hummus along with sum sheesha...has to be one of the coolest places. Very clean enviornment and nice people.

★★★★  unfortunately everyone skips this restaraunt and heads over to jasmines because its more 'hip', and a lot more lively. afrah is a great restaraunt, queiter, older crowd - the food is good as well. they put fries in the chicken shawarma, which is unique around here. recently they've gotten new management, and the service has improved. they also have ice-cream, and all kinds of arabic pastries/sweets. the humus was kind of dry, but decent. their afrah burger is worth trying - albeit a bit pricey (8 dollars?). also, the sheesha's/hookah's are good.

★★★★★  The best middle Eastern (European style) Family cafe that you can find in Dallas area. Excellent sweets, great Gelato Ice Cream (Made with real fruit). Friendly Staff.
The cake is outstanding. Gourmet European style. If you taste it once, you will taste it again and again....

★★★★★  A unique Mid-Eastern pastry shop that has the feel of a nice cafe, complete w/ outside seating. Not only can you choose from all kinds of baklava, but they also serve kunafah, bassboussa, namoura, mamoul, cookies, roasted nuts, gelato ice cream, etc. If you don't want a sweet, they also have great shawerma, kafta, tabouli, Greek salad. It's a nice place for a snack, or a real meal. I really liked the chicken shawerma-- the most flavorful I've ever had! The bassboussa was so very rich and fresh that I could hardly finish my piece. Great place and they also do catering. You can also order their pastries from their website.
