Afrah on East Main Street in Richardson has been one of the Dallas area’s most celebrated Mediterranean and Middle Eastern restaurants since it opened, serving the mezze plates, shawarma, and slow-cooked Arabic dishes that earn a suburban Dallas restaurant its destination reputation among the DFW area’s large Middle Eastern community and the broader Dallas food world that discovered it. It appeared in Season 14, Episode 10 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “International Eats,” which aired June 18, 2012. Guy Fieri found a Richardson kitchen producing authentic Middle Eastern food from scratch — house-made pita, fresh-ground shawarma spices, and the mezze spread that earns Afrah its regional reputation.

What to Eat
The Mezze Platter — hummus, baba ghanoush, tabbouleh, stuffed grape leaves, and warm house-made pita — is the spread most tables start with and the showcase for what Afrah’s scratch kitchen produces. The Chicken Shawarma with marinated chicken, garlic sauce, and pickled vegetables on house-made bread is the sandwich that earns Afrah its lunch crowd. The Lamb Kebabs with fresh-ground spiced lamb, grilled to order, are the entrée centerpiece most regulars return to specifically. The Baklava made in house with layers of phyllo, honey, and pistachios is the dessert that closes every proper Afrah meal. Find a Dallas area hotel on Trivago.
