Prince Lebanese Grill

I have greatly enjoyed the food and hospitality of this family-owned Lebanese restaurant since 2009 when I was first introduced to it by a physician friend of mine; Dr "A" didn't know it at the time, but on that fine spring day many years ago he put me on the path of becoming a "Chicken Shawarma fanatic". And in the last 16 years, I have told as many people as I could about Prince Lebanese. And now I am telling you: if you haven't tried it, you owe it to your appetite to do so. This restaurant is first class (and worth making the drive to north Arlington) for many reasons, not the least of which is the style with which Aziz, Elizabeth, and Amira continue to honor the memory, mission, and legacy of the restaurant's founder, their father/husband Francis. In addition to fine cuisine, they have carried on Francis' commitment to community involvement and good corporate citizenship which I believe should not go unrecognized or unappreciated in today's world. But there is another reason you should go to Prince Lebanese - - - the food is CONSISTENTLY EXCELLENT! I can honestly say I've never had a bad meal here in 16 years!!! The quality and taste is there every time. And lastly, when you go don't forget to ask your waitress for an order of FRIED HALOUMI - I had lunch at Prince today and sampled this new appetizer which is right now only on their "secret menu" (ie, you have to ask for it). Think of something that looks like an eggroll but which tastes like Heaven! It's Haloumi cheese wrapped in filo-dough and lightly fried, and there's garlic cream sauce for dipping. Words don't do it justice. If you like Mediterranean/Greek/Turkish style food, I suspect you'll love Prince. Enjoy! David Wisner

Really enjoyed the Mashwi Lamb plate I had. The hummus here is probably the best I have ever had. And you can't ever go wrong with good Baklava for dessert.

Everything about this experience was wonderful. The food was well prepared, flavourful, and overall a great value. Service was attentive and accommodating for my many questions. I left with a great appreciation for Lebanese food and will certainly return. 10/10 Highly recommend.

The Priiiiiiince! This place is just the best. We've only ever done takeout and so it was high time I dined in. Met a friend for lunch and it was truly superb. The staff is incredible and you cannot walk away from here hungry! Easily the best Mediterranean food in the area.

Hands down one of our fav spots in the metroplex. We’ve been coming here for 10+yrs and it’s always consistent. Shawarma plate is delish no matter if you choose chicken, lamb, beef or combo. Hummus is on point. Tabouli is always fresh. If you’re not ordering the lamb chops what are you even doing with your life? Get the baklava finger and thank me later. You’re welcome.

I tried Prince Lebanese Grill for the first time last week and was astonished I hadn’t discovered it sooner!! Absolutely delicious! From the appetizers to the desserts, everything was top notch and full of flavor. The manager, Jose, went lengths to make sure we were taken care of. I can tell he truly cares about the customer experience and the quality of the food. I ordered the tabouli salad with chicken shawarma and I must say, I could eat it every day of the year. I 10/10 recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a flavorful, healthy one of a kind type meal. I will 100% be back and hope that Prince Lebanese Grill will remain just as it is!

Was told this is an Arlington staple and I’m definitely happy I was introduced!! Fresh ingredients, tender meat, great service! The BEST falafels I’ve ever had! Had the beef shawarma plate with spicy hummus! So Yummy! They were on Guys Food Network show & they have some cool mementos on the walls. The waitress was lovely.. Come support this business! You will be so GLAD you did!

Ordered 3 meals Togo and was very disappointed with the 2 flaffel plates. This didn’t really seem worth $15 per plate and they didn’t give us the pita that it says it’s comes with on the menu Gyro meet was super cold, the rice was warm so who knows how long it sat before the dished it up. I’ve eaten here in person and it was fine but Togo was a huge disappointment

My family and I have been here plenty of time but 1st time reviewing. If you haven't been here before, do yourself a favor and try. I would say come inside and eat, it's a family friendly vibe. But they also have call to order and drive-thru. All there food is fresh. From the soup and salad to the rice and pita bread. The meat is all high quality and nit to mention the delectable treats/deserts. This visit it ordered foe the 1st time, the Lamb plate I can honestly say I have never had lamb like this before. Flavorful and juicy. Wish i ordered this in my many visits before, I've definitely been missing out. My husband had the spicy ckn tacos. I was skeptical but to all of our surprise, they hit it out the park! We just wished it came as a plate. 3 definitely filled him up. Packed with ckn rice, their delicious white garlic sauce pickles turnips and some type of herb parsley topped. Excellent My daughter had the gyro plate. Very good. It's a very popular plate we get in our family. We also ordered but didn't take a pic of the babaganoush** (idk if I spelled that correctly) for appetizer it's a form of hummus made with eggplants it also comes with pita to dip with, so delicious All in all there isn't anything I can complain about only to brag. Clean, friendly, delicious food. Two thumbs up

Come here every week. The soup is delicious!!!! I normally get the Gyro sandwich. This week I came in and accidentally ordered the Gyro plate. When the waitress asked what side I wanted I told her it didn't come with a side. She proceeded forward either way. When she brought it out it was the Gyro plate not the sandwich. I told her that wasn't the one I normally order she just said oh sorry about that. Don't ever order the plate. It is twice as much as the sandwich with the same amount of meat. Overall I will be back. But just know the customer service for corrections isn't the best. So make sure you're careful what you order. Instead of a $7.99 sandwich I was lucky enough to pay $14.99 for the plate.

This is a family owned restaurant- love! The waitress was very pleasant and the food was decently priced / tasty. I ordered the feta dip, side of falafels and the chicken shawarma wrap. The falafels were super crispy and perfectly bite sized.

My husband brought me a to-go order from PLG. I have never been to the restaurant itself so I will only review the food I received. I ordered the Chicken Shawarma Plate with rice noodles, pita bread, and a side of spicy hummus. The chicken was well seasoned and delicious and went well with the vermicelli rice. I have never ordered food from a Lebanese restaurant so did not know what to expect. The tzatziki sauce and hummus were both flavorful and the pita bread was fresh. I am anxious to try other Lebanese dishes from PLG.

One of the best restaurants in Arlington. You can close your eyes and pick anything off the menu and it will be delicious. I've been here plenty of times and have never been disappointed.

Prince Lebanese Grill is worth all the hype! Service was outstanding and fast. The atmosphere is comfortable and community like. The food was delicious and servings are HUGE. You could easily share one shawarma plate between two adults. Very enjoyable local spot!

Went here for a dinner and as a Mediterranean guy, I can tell that food was legit gooooood! We started with Dolmas App and it was refreshing! My wife had Prince Lebanese Special and WOW it was fresh from the grill! And you can taste the great quality of food! I got Meat Combo Shawarma Plate chicken and beef medium spicy!! It was delicious too! We ended up with baclava desert and was one of the sweetest things I have eaten!!! Service was excellent and they were fast and friendly despite being very busy. Definitely will be back soon

Wow what an amazing spot in Arlington to grab Mediterranean food! For apps, we got the fried cauliflower, which was delicious. The portion was a little small so if you're sharing with a few ppl, consider ordering two. Then we ordered the gyro special & chicken/beef shawarma plate. The special was mixed with diced onion and tomatoes, made it especially refreshing. The shawarma was super good; meat flavor was excellent. Also, they have different flavors of hummus so you've hot options. Ended with some baklava: pistachio flavored, not too sweet, perfect. Definitely check out this spot if you can!

We have been longtime fans of this place but the last visit will be our last. We had a bad experience with delivery order so this time decided to go in and see if it was just because it was delivery. Nope, wasn't deliveries fault they have just really gone downhill and I'm not sure why. We always order the mazza plate and have always had good pitas but our delivery order they "forgot" the pitas, and I'm like how do you eat hummus and baba ghanoush without pitas and in the restaurant they were old, stale and hard. It was strange because they used to be so good and fresh. Hubs ordered the gyro plate and I ordered the chicken shish tawook. The rice both times was dry and had no flavor. The chicken was so overcooked that it hurt to chew it and the gyro meat was so dried up it was curled and crispy like it had been fried after it was cut. It was the worst gyro meat he had ever seen. So unfortunately after years of making great reviews for this restaurant we have decided to look for our Mediterranean food elsewhere. I do hope they get it together again. We truly always loved this place.

We typically eat here 2 x per week- it's healthy, quick and a value. It's also run by a wonderful family.

New parking! Way more spots, didn't think this place could get any better. Service is always, always so good. The food is the most consistent that I know of and I've not tried one thing on the menu that wasn't delicious! The environment is laid back, simple & relaxed. They also allow you to byob! A true family owned and operated establishment. What a GEM! We come here every time we want great food and don't wanna risk it. Enjoy! MLA

This place is fantastic!! I love the mom and pop feel as soon as you walk in. They have a drive-through as well. I ordered the lamb shwarma with hummus. They gave me a lot of food but it was absolutely delicious. It was seasoned really well, and the rice was on-point. It tasted like a home cooked meal. 10 out of 10! The servers were so nice and friendly and she recommended the dessert which was such a treat! I highly recommend this place, you won't be disappointed!

I've been going to this place for a really long time and I have always loved it! The food is good, there's a lot of it, and it's consistent every time I come here. I always recommend this place to my friends if they're in the area or grab takeout if I can. The staff is extremely kind and the owner is always walking around asking us how we are.

Great food & customer service! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. However, they can be skimpy on the meat portions if your order to-go, and don't allow you to mix and match or substitute certain items (even for an additional cost). We have visited multiple times and tried different items. The chicken, rice, Greek salad and spicy hummus are my faves. The gyro plate is good as well.

We stopped by before a concert and it was good portion and fast service. The food was tasty and portions were generous. Love that they repurposed and old Sonic building!

It makes sense why Guy Fieri would come to Prince on his visit to DFW. I cannot get over the flavor of the spicy chicken shawarma. The meat is so tender and flavorful. That hummus is also next level. I love the homey atmosphere and the price tag is unbeatable.

We read some great review of this restaurant. We arrived and were seated immediately. Our waitress greeted us and took our order. The tea was amazing. It was a cinnamon flavor that was very refreshing. We ordered dolmas to start and they were delicious. I ordered the lamb shawarma sandwich and my husband ordered the lamb shawarma plate with babaganoush. We also ordered a side of garlic sauce. To finish off we had a desert platter that had 2 baklavas, one Burma that is a cashew wrapped in angel hair dough drizzled in honey and a baklava finger which is a rolled philo dough with cashews. The food was amazing. What was not amazing was when one of the young waitress wearing a very short skirt bent over to put dirty dishes in a tub and showed entire view of her private regions. This was not something that we all needed to see. She either needed to squat to do this or wear a longer skirt.

Finally had a chance to try Prince Lebanese Grill. As has been pointed out in other reviews, don't let to outside fool you. It's in an old building and looks a little run down. Once inside the amazing smells hit you and you don't care what the outside looks like! Hands down the best falafel in DFW. The gyro plate and appetizer sampler were fantastic. Really a great spot in central Arlington and some of the most authentic food around. Topped it off with a pot of Turkish coffee and baklava and the group was more than happy. If you love legit Mediterranean food, you must try Prince.

Food overall was ok. Wouldn't go out of my way to come here. Service was good. Environment was clean. Restrooms could use a little work. It's an old sonic location, inside is bigger than the outside looks. Shaded parking is always a plus in Texas Heat. They def take pride in being featured on the food network. However with all the hype this place had gotten I had super high expectations and honestly it was ok. I've had better at other locations around town. Hummus trio is good since you get to try 3 different kinds. Portions are great to share. Dessert sampler is a nice way to be able to try multiple desserts. Lamb chops was tender but not as flavorful as I would have preferred. Gyro sandwhich was decent. Fries are addicting. They're small and crispy sprinkled with their seasoning.

Food and service are excellent and it's BYOB. Ambiance doesn't matter because the food is fantastic. I lived in Iran many years ago and this is authentic Middle Eastern food. Can't wait to go back.

Food very small portions my shawarma sandwich 6 inches long and not wrapped it was in a pita bread! I asked for garlic dip and got garlic hummus yuk! The salad was fresh despite the ton of dressing! Not a true shawarma that's for sure!

I usually get the chicken shawarma and it is delicious with really great flavors that really tastes homemade. The portion size is good when you dine in and to-go as well. The venue is a bit small since it used to be a Sonic, but this helps contribute to the mom and pop shop feeling with a fair amount of seating available. The service is good with the food coming out relatively quickly. The servers are nice but they get busy and sometimes do not check up on you as much and you may have to call them over if you need something.

So I tried this establishment via take out and I was really disappointed. Who ever packed the bags to go did so where the foods with gravy or drippings were on top and it leaked all over the other orders. This was delivered, I get delivery may have a part in this but really, they could have packed with more consideration. I ordered the Hummus Mah Lahme "Hummus Bowl", and it was disgusting... Had the chicken and Garlic Hummus, and when I first opened this dish, there was an overwhelming smell of Cinnamon... Which was off putting, and so I did not eat the chicken. So I tried to just have the Hummus and pita. Unfortunately the Hummus was bland, seems they forgot the garlic. Next was the Fried Cauliflower, soggy because it was on the bottom of the bag where the "cinnamon" chicken was placed. I don't recommend this appetizer. The yellow curry sauce that comes with it was over powering. Seems like something of a curry spice jar was dropped into the mix. Don't get me wrong , I love spice and curry, but this terrible. I don't recommend this restaurant, it was a bad experience just having the food, less the incident of packing. So I'm not going to recommend this place since the quality of the food for a take order we. subpar

My roommate and I really like this place. The food is amazing and delicious. At least for people who have never had mediterranean food before. We always had good service. I ordered Prince Lebanese Special and it is little expensive but it tastes so good and you get so much food.

Great food even the salad was GOOD I must make my way back there, it was packed inside, Families and workers on breaks, everywhere!!! I only went to pick up mine. I forgot to take a photo BUT that's gotta be proof

I dunno, 10 years later, this shit slaps. I went the first time after living in DC for years, I was a snob. I've been a few times since and I didn't use Yelp anymore, so I never updated it. I'm sorry! They have all the different styles of baklava you could want, and I haven't had fresh flatbread in years. I think about the perfection of their lentil soup. Crazy good zatar flatbread. Lebaneh I've eaten the shwarma several times since and I did love it, even if I didn't lovelovelove it. Service is always great. And yeah. It's in an old sonic, but that's OK. It's much more prince Lebanese than it ever was sonic.

The food was tasty and delicious and the staff was friendly and helpful.the inside of the restaurant was clean and comfortable nothing special as far as decorating.

The chicken shawarma always is so yummy and the rice we order double cause we love it! The hummus the best in the world along with the pita bread which is also out of this world. The salads delicious and so fresh! Baklava is heavenly.

Enjoyed delicious Lebanese food - we ordered the house specialty of the Prince Lebanese mixed meat grill with regular hummus and a gyro plate with baba ganoush. The different meats - lamb, chicken, beef - all cooked perfectly (specifically medium rare, well done and medium). Honorable mention for the cinnamon unsweet tea, a very unique but subtle flavor that enhances the tea flavor instead of overpowering it. Most of all, the service is super friendly and efficient - it is obvious that this is a family owned and proudly operated restaurant, and we enjoyed meeting the mother, the son and the daughter. They each passed by to check on us and all the guests during a busy lunch rush. It's nice to see such a dedicated family setting a high standard of service that their staff all embraced and exhibited. Definitely returning here soon!

This is probably the most well-known place in Arlington. The food is as full of love as the amazing family that owns it. Come hungry and leave stuffed and happy!!

Great food at an affordable price. I come here regularly for dinner. The manager walks around, he is friendly and polite and wants to know how the service and food is. He goes above and beyond to make your visit a great dining experience. One of my favorite places to go when I don't feel like cooking dinner.

Had the opportunity to stop by Prince Lebanese before heading to a Dallas Wings game (it's conveniently only about 7 minutes down the street from the stadium they play at). Immediately upon arriving, I loved the vibes with all of the beautiful plants. When we walked in, we were quickly seated. There were many options on the menu that sounded good, but I opted for one of the build your own salads. I chose The Francis with chicken shawarma on top. The salad itself was super refreshing and had a great combo of ingredients. The chicken was okay - just unfortunately a bit on the dry side. I also got a walnut baklava and thought that it was a bit sweet but overall good. I will say based on the food quality and portion size being small, it is overpriced (my salad was $15.99).

Unexpected diner gem! Feature on drivers, diners, and dives and it delivered. Affordable Lebanese food with rich flavors. We ordered: - dolmathes: always a favorite - cauliflower: simple but well made - Mazza plate: perfect sampler if you can't make up your mind - thyme pie: a little dry - meat platter: beef was a little dry but loved the Kafka - lentil soup: simple and flavorful, similar to a soup I make for myself - falafels: I usually dislike falafels because they can be dry but these were so moist - lamb: I didn't try but my parents enjoyed it! Came on a Sunday and you can tell people frequent here/there are many regulars. Highly rec!

Stopped by Prince Lebanese Grill for a quick dinner. When you arrive, don't let the outside of the restaurant be deceiving to enter. Also there is plenty of parking around the building. Also when you walk in there are two dining rooms that you can sit in. I ordered the Lamb Shawarma Sandwich which was not great. The meat was fatty, the sandwich had pickles which I don't love and it was cold. I also ordered a side of fries which were also cold but had good flavor. Lastly, I ordered the baklava finger which was the highlight of the meal, but probably not enough for me to return. I may try this place again if I am in the local area.

A fantastic service and great atmosphere. Looking forward to the next time we will come down.

So if you're anywhere near this place, it's located, not too far from the stadiums in Arlington; it's a must hit. Everything they do is tremendous. I'd like to actually recommend something on the menu but frankly it's all good. You can't go wrong with whatever you choose. My wife loves the thyme pie. I love the gyro plate. My daughter loves the veggie Shawarma. The desserts are excellent. The only problem is it don't get in a hurry. Quality takes time. The reality is you can't rush, genius

This place is absolutely fantastic! The chicken Shawarma plate (spicy) with a salad instead of the hummus is my favorite. You can't beat the prices and quality of food here.. plus the portions are huge!! 10/10

Sometimes this is where I wish Yelp had a half star option. I really would give it 4 1/2. But it's just not good enough where a full five stars. Prince Lebanese Grill has some amazing food. From the Shawarma to Gyro. I've had a lot of dishes. This review is particularly about the Gyro plate. Gyro is by far one of the best I've ever had, their rice is also amazing along with their tzatziki sauce. The reason for the half star was the pita bread is just very lackluster almost more rubbery than most. Also, their hummus is very lackluster as well which is a true bummer very bland in my opinion and I got the spicy one. Overall the main dishes are to die and will continue to come back.

I would definitely return! A total hidden gem full of locals eating there (inside the restaurant and in their cars). Restaurant looks really small but there is more seating than you realize. The food was excellent and on par or better than other Mediterranean restaurants. EXCELLENT!!

Extremely flavorful, well made food. No frills but friendly atmosphere with very accommodating service.

This place has been in my bookmarks for at least 10 years. Roaming around Arlington, husband told me to find somewhere we haven't been..and so I did. Laidback, place.. looks like an old dairy queen. We started off with the garlic hummus. Garlicky.. I like. I got the Mashwi beef.. tender beef medallions and flavorful. Liked the t-sauce on the medallions and rice. Will eventually come back. Service was good. Cinnamon ice tea was refreshing!!

I love the food at Prince Lebanese and I find their prices fair, hence the 4 stars, but I was shocked at the size of the side Greek salad. For 3.99 I thought it would be a bit more than what is pictured. Lesson learned do not get the side Greek salad.

FOOD INSTAGRAM: @northtx.gemz **** WHAT THEY'RE KNOWN FOR: Guy Fieri came here years ago! Opened since 1980s they have been an Arlington staple for Mediterranean food for a long time. THE VIBE: the building is built from an old Sonic so it's very recognizable. It's very casual/family friendly. PRICE: ~$20 WOULD I COME BACK? Maybe not. **** Overall Rating: 6.5/10 - I have actually been here twice before throughout my life and remembered it being really good. However, this day I came, the food was fresh but the flavor was lacking? - I had the beef shawarma plate and my friends had the chicken shawarma plates but we all agreed this was something we could cook at home. It wasn't bad, but it also lacked a lot of spiciness. We actually got the spicy version of these dishes too and they were not even slightly spicy! The lack of spiciness was really disappointing. - I will say the falafels were the perfect bite sized and were delicious. The French fries not pictured were perfectly seasoned too! Great fried foods. - It's a great bang for your buck. They have cheap lunch specials. - I hate to give a negative review for a well-loved small business but my page is based off my honest opinion and my friends too.

Came here after trying to find places to eat in Arlington. We ordered their chicken and lamb shawarma specials ($14.99/$16.99) and hummus bowl with lamb ($16.99). Definitely pricier compared to other fast casual shawarma but it was very flavorful. The specials came with hummus and the servers provided extra pita at no charge (usually $1). The rice could use additional herbs and aromatics. Don't recommend the hummus bowl because you seem to get less protein than the special. Got free baklava for Yelp check in- it was decent! Kind of too sweet and the pastry was a bit hard, but good for its original price (less than $3). Service was friendly but kind of slow. Took a long time for the food to be made.

Came here with my family and decided to try something new after ordering the chicken shawarma plate for years! I got the hummus bowl with chicken and it was delicious. I wish it came with more veggies as they tasted amazing. The service was great and the waitress was super helpful. The ambiance was a perfect family environment, easy to hear everyone.

So yummy! The food is amazing and the service is quick. The only problem is this isn't close to our home. We try to come here whenever we are in Arlington.

This was a great surprise. I don't often dine in Arlington, but have to say this restaurant was simply delicious. Cuisine is Middle Eastern, and has a grey selection for newbies willing to try Middle Eastern food Mediterranean cuisine. When you pull up to the store from the highway, the view is of a classic 'Sonic' fast food spot with their signature park, order, eat in your car design. However once you park, you get to walk into a full-fledged casual dining restaurant with many tables. There are nice servers who help you feel welcomed in their home. I got the Friday special (Chicken Shawarma, Basmati rice, hummus, pita, Tzatziki sauce) for $11. Highly recommend it. I also sampled their gyro meat (beef and lamb) which was also very tender, flavorful, and filling. They definitely know their flavors are crowded pleasers. They take pride in their story and even celebrate the time that famous TV Food personality, Guy Fieri, showcased then in one of his episodes of Diners, Drive-ins. Give this place a try. I bet you'd have a similar feeling that they don't mess around with fusion. They're great at what they do. They've been doing this since 1970's. Note: this is a family run place rich in story, hospitality, and flavor.

Best Lebanese cuisine!! This is the 2nd time I came here and I was unable to write a review the first time. However, my wife wanted gyro/Mediterranean food. As this restaurant proudly displays Guy Fieri's diner and dives as he came and ate what I proclaim as some exquisite eats. I have been searching for some really good falafel and this place just hit a home run with me. My wife had the kebob platter that came with some really good hummus, rice, warm pita and a few veggies. I tried the lentil soup which was amazing and would recommend. Well worth the price and you can definitely enjoy the cuisine while listening to authentic Mediterranean music.

Simply put, the best Lebanese food in North Texas. If you haven't tried this place yet, you're sorely missing out. Great restaurant with quality fresh choice foods. You need to try the fried cauliflower. It's THE BEST. When I bite into it, I'm transported back to the days when my mother used to make this for us as a treat. The hummus bowls are delicious. The gyro wraps are awesome. Always excellent service in a nice clean environment. It's a family owned and managed business, where daily you will see one of the family present. What a jewel of a dinning experience.
