Nay Restaurant & Coffee - مطعم ناي

This restaurant is absolutely amazing! The food is so delicious and packed with flavor. Plus, the place is always clean and well-organized, which makes for a great atmosphere. The customer service is top-notch too! I can't recommend it enough! 😃😋

The experience was alright. We ordered kabobs and grilled fish. The fish was pretty big but lacked seasoning and did not taste very good. The fish was said to be per lb as price so be sure to ask beforehand about the size. I did not ask and paid $33 for a tilapia that didn’t taste good either. I could not finish it. The kabobs were good. They also served complementary lentil soup which was good too after adding some salt and pepper to it.

We went on a Saturday night around 8:30 pm, it was not crowded at all. Ambience, decorations are charming, everything was clean. Service was good but food came very late for 5 people and 3 orders only. I understand grills take time and was waiting eagerly for the food but it was quite disappointing!! Food was freshly made, served hot but quite burnt. The bottom of fish was very burnt and had bitter taste to it and flesh part lacked seasoning From the mix grill platter - beef, lamb and chicken kabobs were okay but all of them had bitter aftertaste, also lacked seasoning except for salty taste. The complimentary lentil soup was good when you add some salt and pepper. Naan was fresh and good, so was the garlic sauce. They have pray area. Ambiance is the best for Both inside and outdoor seating. Orange mojito taste like just regular orange juice but not worth $9 . Yogurt drink was okay but would have been better with less salt in it. Fries were crunchy and good. I know as a Bengali we can tolerate higher spice levels but we have been to many Mediterranean restaurants and we somewhat enjoy the food as well but here the food lacked a lot of seasoning.

I visited Nay for the second time, and I have to say — it’s truly one of the best Iraqi restaurants I’ve been to in Dallas! From the moment we walked in, the hospitality was amazing — warm, generous, and very family-friendly. You can really feel the kindness of the people running the place, which makes the experience even more special. We ordered the masgouf (grilled fish), mixed grill, lamb qoozi, a variety of appetizers, and of course, tea at the end. Everything was absolutely delicious. The flavor of the masgouf — the smell, the taste, the way it was grilled — took me straight back home. It’s rare to find that kind of authentic taste, and they absolutely nailed it. The portions were generous, and every dish was made with care. The tea was a perfect finish to a great meal — I almost forgot to take a photo because I was enjoying it so much! If you’re looking for real Iraqi flavors and amazing hospitality, Nay is a must-visit.

One of the newest restaurants to open up in DFW, Nay Restaurant & Coffee in Richardson is definitely worth a visit! Went for the first time and our server, Mustafa, really made the experience warm, attentive, and welcoming from the start. It was also my first time trying Iraqi cuisine, and the mix grill, falafel plate, lamb chops, and Iraqi kebab were all solid winners. The grilled fish could’ve used a bit more seasoning, but overall, the food and service were excellent. Highly recommend checking it out!

I recently visited Nay Restaurant, and it was an exceptional experience. The kebab was incredibly authentic, with that distinct Iraqi flavor that’s hard to find outside the region. The tikka was perfectly seasoned and grilled to perfection—tender, juicy, and full of flavor. If you’re looking for a true taste of Iraqi cuisine, this place is a must-try. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming.

Mix Grill was fantastic for dinner, and the Erbil Yogurt drink was super tangy and refreshing. The staff all had great hospitality, and I'd love to come back here. The owner was happy to explain items on the menu and recommend items. I'm not usually eating Iraqi food so this was a really nice experience.

An absolutely amazing experience! The food here is full of authentic flavors and beautifully presented. The grilled meats are cooked to perfection, the fish is deliciously charred, and the appetizers (hummus, tabbouleh, baba ghanoush) are fresh and tasty. The bread comes hot and fluffy straight from the oven. Generous portions, cozy atmosphere, and truly one of the best Middle Eastern dining experiences I’ve had in the U.S. Highly recommended!”
