Al Baghdady bakery and cafe

I ordered the mixed grill with beef, lamb, and chicken, along with a few appetizers — everything was absolutely outstanding. The meats were incredibly juicy, seasoned with authentic Iraqi spices, and grilled to perfection. The appetizers were fresh, flavorful, and full of traditional taste. The service was warm, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. The ambience was cozy and inviting, with traditional Iraqi décor and music that added to the authenticity of the dining experience. A fantastic spot for anyone craving genuine Iraqi cuisine and culture!

I love making the drive to Richardson from Oklahoma City to eat here!!! The foods always fresh and delicious. The staff is also very helpful and friendly. Jude helped me out and he made sure everything was good on my to go order!!! Thank you so much Jude for 5 star service ⭐️

Excellent food and exemplary service. Both the bakery and the restaurant are amazing and I can't wait to go back and try more of the food. The people who work here are really amazing at making everyone feel welcome. It seems very community oriented.

Honestly, the place is amazing! The meat was so tender, clean, and perfectly seasoned — no strong smell at all. Our order was prepared quickly, and the staff were super polite and friendly. Prices are fair for the quality, and the grill level was just perfect — not burnt and not undercooked. Definitely worth a visit, and I’ll absolutely come back again. Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. Everything was delicious, and the food was full of flavor. The complimentary soup served before the meal was especially tasty. Service was very fast, and overall we were highly impressed. I definitely recommend this place!

This place has become our absolute favorite spot in Richardson! My family and I have been coming here every Friday for the past 8 weeks, and it truly is the best mom-and-pop restaurant in town. The husband is always in the kitchen cooking everything fresh, while the wife warmly greets us, explains the menu, and makes sure we always try something new. The staff is quick, attentive, and genuinely cares about the customers. Their Shawarma, Falafel, Kabob skewers, Shish Tawook, Liver skewers, and Beef skewers with freshly baked bread are out of this world. Every dish tastes authentic and perfectly seasoned. The Iraqi dishes are incredible — and last week we tried their new lamb shanks with rice, which were absolutely delicious! We can’t wait to be back again this Friday. BEST FAMILY-OWNED RESTAURANT IN ALL OF RICHARDSON!

My friends and I have been here four times so far, and we absolutely love this place. I enjoy grilled meat, and this has been my favorite spot by far. The owner is always kind and welcoming. We also visited his bakery to try the sweets, and he was just as friendly and hospitable there.

4th time eating here. Fresh Iraqi style food like Shawarma, falafel, kacob and now lamb shanks. Very fresh food and a whole fresh fruit juice bar. The bread bakery in the same parking lot turns out fresh arabic flat bread and samoon/pita style bread. Family owned with the husband cooking and the wife taking your orders and explaining the food from the menu to find something you will like.

Stopped by for a quick lunch while in the area, however we were very impressed with the hospitality and quality of food. Everything was fresh and homemade. Such a sweet surprise to come across a hidden gem. We had the chicken kebab plate which the portion sizes were so big we were able to take some home.

Albaghdady has a great new location on Greenville just across from Richardson's Chinatown. It's a stand alone business with several parking spots. The entire outside of the restaurant is lined with tables so you can dine there if you like. The sign on the door indicates they take Covid seriously. Masks are required, and only 5 people are allowed inside at a time. I could only see two customers at the counter as I peered through the front door, so I waited outside until I would have a chance to order. Above the pastry display case was an electronic menu in Arabic and English that flashed through several screens too quickly for me to read. On the side of the drink refrigerator was a menu board in large print. The guy behind the counter was also nice enough to hand me a trifold menu I could take with me. There were lots of choices, but honestly I already knew what I wanted. I had actually been on my way to a different Arabic bakery to get some fresh khubz (Arabic flatbread), when I saw this place. I had been to Albaghdady's old location and figured I would give it a try again. The khubz is baked fresh daily. It is massive in size. I'm talking larger in circumference than an XL American pizza. I ordered a small bag of five not realizing that they would be this huge. As soon as I got in the car, I was tearing into the soft, fluffy saucer of gluten and shoving it in my mouth as I drove home. I just couldn't resist! I also ordered what they call an "Arabic shawarma" and some baklava and another pastry for my husband. The sandwich was far from what I would classify as an Arabic shawarma. It didn't resemble or taste anything like I had eaten growing up in the Gulf Arab states. This was more like an Iraqi sandwich. The flatbread is thicker and fluffier with pinched ends. The meat inside was thick slabs of beef. There were also these vinegary pickles. The sandwich was still quite tasty and I would definitely recommend trying it especially if you are looking to sink your teeth into something other than the standard American burger or tired club sandwich. I'm not a fan of filo, so I didn't eat the baklava. My husband devoured both pieces (one walnut and the other pistachio) and said they were delicious. I did order two pistachio and hazelnut dessert rolls. They looked delicious with the dark brown hazelnut wrapped around the bright green pistachio filling, but the hard rubbery texture was an absolute turn off. I think they used dates to sweeten it and hold it together. I couldn't get over that hard rubbery texture though. It didn't seem right even though I had never tried this sweet before. I couldn't do a second bite and spared my husband the misery by throwing his piece away too. This is a decent place that has some interesting and tasty items on the menu. I might be back because of its very convenient location, but I would probably get something different on the menu next time.

Food: 5 out 5 - Lady finger is a must.Everything we ordered were delicious. Service: Very helpful and nice. It's a small store for Togo.

I found this place on my way home from an event and decided to stop in and grab a bite to eat. They have a wide assortment of desserts and large fresh naan. They have some of the best Kabobs that I've tasted in the area. Everything that I have ordered has been really flavorful and delicious. All orders are placed at the pick up counter. There is a small eating area to the right of the counter. The seating area is first come, first served. The staff I've encountered have been friendly and helpful. Some of my family's favorite menu items are the: sandwiches, meat pies, kabobs beef and chicken, and the Lady Fingers. They offer pick up and delivery through DoorDash.

Amazing service and delicious food + deserts. I'm drooling right now thinking about the lady fingers we ate

Excellent restaurant and bakery serving very authentic Iraqi food. I have tried their lamb and beef kebabs plenty and the lamb shawarma is quite delicious and flavorful. Certainly try the creme with honey, fresh bread, ladyfinger dessert

If you are a female not covering yourself head to toe (hair, showing skin ect.) then expect the main lady to make faces and look at you up and down and have a little attitude (not the one in pic). I was going to give it one star cause when buying food I shouldn't have to have this issue.... but this food is amazing! They know it too! Place was packed with people getting carry out and waiting. This place has really good food just work on employees being less unfriendly and rude.

Really fantastic service from the guys there. Very friendly and enthusiastic. The baked goods were wonderful. I definitely recommend all the desserts!

One of the best Middle Eastern lnn food we've had! Fresh and tasty. Naan was amazing.

Great food no kidding!!.... It comes with a complimentary nasty attitude from the cashier. I live in Washington DC & Someone from Houston Texas recommended this place to me... The cashier had serious issues & I saw and felt the high pressure..... 2nd & last time there.

This place is crazy. I have been calling them for bread for over a week now and every single time they are sold out. The part that I don't get is that if you have a product that sells the most why don't you make extra. They will loose so much business due to this. In these hard times during COVID they should be thankful that they are busy and work harder rather than letting customers walk out. Really bad on the management's part. Will not waste my time going there anymore!!!!

We will not go back there anymore. This place is so chaotic and they don't know how to be organized and take orders. People are just waiting all over the place to either order or pick up their order. We ordered 3 sandwiches and they brought them back from the kitchen and let it sit in front of us for 10 minutes and then when they decided to give us the food, it was the wrong food and they claimed they didn't make any mistakes. Two people walked in and out of the place once they saw how bad this place is being run. We tried to support a local business, but unless they figure out how to run a small restaurant, we are not going back there.

The best Samoon we've ever had!! And their meat kabob and sheesh tawook platter are absolutely amazing - better than a lot of Mediterranean restaurants in the area! Keep it up

Food is amazing, people working there are a little too upfront ... take the food to go!!

Love these guys. Great tasting food always!! We are extremely picky about Middle Eastern food, Albaghdady always consistent in the taste.
