Lebanese eatery with lunch buffet, homemade desserts & outdoor patio























"Looking for kebabs, hummus, tabbouleh, and falafel? Afrah is the stop. This beloved local Lebanese restaurant has been featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives and offers halal meats. Visit Afrah’s weekday all-you-can-eat lunch buffet to get a good taste at a great value. Be sure to finish the meal with baklava, kanafeh (sweet cheese pastry), or other freshly baked sweets. After all, this spot did start as a bakery. Expect a family-friendly, simply decorated space that’s large enough to pretty much guarantee that you’ll be able to snag a table." - Courtney E. Smith

"Afrah is a go-to favorite for Mediterranean plates with a Lebanese focus. The lunch buffet is worth a visit, and the Shawarma pita sandwiches are legendary. Great spot for big groups." - Courtney E. Smith

"Nearby Afrah Mediterranean is mentioned as a Lebanese food and pastry option serving the same multicultural clientele that frequents the strip." - Charity Chukwu

"When it comes to Mediterranean food, sometimes a buffet is better. Afrah delivers on that theory with locations in Richardson, Dallas, and Irving, all of which offer a buffet that’s piled high with falafel, hummus, veggies, and more. Pro-tip: Afrah began as a bakery, so save room for house-made baklava." - Rachel Pinn
"When you were a kid, you knew it was time for a new pair of pants when you got dressed and realized your flares stopped two inches above your ankles. In the same way, Afrah realized that a decade after opening, it had outgrown its space on Main Street. Now in a bigger location next door, this place still serves excellent Lebanese classics like shawarma, hummus, baba ganoush, and za’atar and cheese manakish. Their lunch buffet on weekdays is still packed, but worth the wait, and if you don’t have the patience for a line, head there with a group for a family-style dinner. Just make sure you don’t skip the kanafeh for dessert." - Team Infatuation
