Ferah Tex-Med Kitchen

Our first visit to this restaurant was simply wonderful. Mustafa was most attentive, knowledgeable and welcoming. The food was delicious! I had the salmon, and my husband had the falafel burger. We also had the hummus, and the babaganoush. Everything was beautifully presented, and prepared. We will definitely be back!

It was fine but nothing very special. It was my first time here and it was my birthday. We weren’t asked if we had been there before or if we were celebrating anything. The atmosphere was ok except there was no music and it was slow so we could hear everything going on in the kitchen. The food was fine. I had the surf & turf. The shrimp was good, the beef was chewy, the veggies were good and the potatoes were very gummy. Might come back to try happy hour as I did enjoy my cocktail but wouldn’t come back for dinner.

I keep coming back to this restaurant because it is consistently outstanding. The menu is full of hits, but my personal favorites are the perfectly chargrilled lamb chops, the melt-in-your-mouth braised beef short rib, the flawlessly cooked salmon, and the creamy risotto. Every dish is executed perfectly, time after time. What truly sets this place apart, however, is the incredible service. The chef personally came to our table to ensure we were enjoying our meal. As a amazing surprise, they brought us complimentary, warm baklava and delicious traditional Turkish coffee. This personal touch shows a genuine passion for food and customer satisfaction. I cannot recommend this gem highly enough!

We absolutely LOVE Ferah Tex-Med! They get 5 stars from us!! The food is amazing and the atmosphere is lovely. The service was spectacular…Seth was fabulous. We had the salmon and hummus and spinach dip as a starter. A+ rating and they made my husband’s birthday extra special!! This may be our favorite restaurant!

Ferah is the best restaurant in Garland! The food is amazing. Great service. I had the gnocchi with chicken, the chicken was cooked to perfection, so moist. The gnocchi was chefs kiss. It was a big plate of food and I ate it all in one sitting 😂. For dessert I had the Turkish coffee crème brûlée and the Texas chocolate mousse…..SO GOOD. I love their cocktails too. The atmosphere is really nice, I love the decor. Also it was very nice the chef came out asking how everything was. What a nice touch. This place is a gem. 💎 I can’t wait to come back!

A regular date night for us, and occasionally with more family members. The service is always on point (thanks Mustafa!!) and the food speaks for itself, whether the tacos or somewhat more traditional Mediterranean fare. Tip: the Brussel sprouts here are the best we have had anywhere!

The restaurant has low lighting and we enjoyed the ambience-not too much, not too little. Our waiter was great and knew a few of the people as they dine there regularly. The menu did not match what was online but had sufficient and interesting choices. The birthday people received a dessert but I don't remember anyone else being offered one. Payment by several people was well handled. It was not at all busy which surprised me.

Excellent quality food and cocktails. Friendly waitstaff and very calm atmosphere.

Beef kabobs are delicious Ambience is very nice Staff and service always friendly and nice !

One of our go-to places for a quick, local meal with some variety. LOVE their dips sampler (especially the Atom Dip) and some of the Texas flair they bring to traditional Mediterranean dishes. Worth a trip, and DEFINITELY the best place to eat at Firewheel Town Center in Garland.

We were here for sunday buffet, our friend made the reservation and we got there by opening time. We were seated promptly. Service was very good, our waitress was very attentive checking on us frequently. Nothing worth mentioning about the buffet though! Sausage and Bacon were decent, eggs were dry! Pilaf and couscous were good, veggies were under seasoned. Tender beef was rubbery, chicken was the best part of the menu. Kids liked the pancakes and croissants. Sliders were big miss! Bread was hard and falafel patty or beef were not tasty. Chicken slider felt like a frozen reheated chicken. For the price point, food is not worth it! We were done by 12:30-1 and there were barely any people eating on a sunday, that is kind off a gives it away!

We had the opportunity to have some lunch here, for a friend's birthday. Our server was very attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. The restaurant itself is very nice & clean. We felt comfortable sitting at our table with 8 guests. All of our orders made their way out in a timely manner. Portions were okay, but for the price, we weren't blown away... I guess when you pay for $13 gyros plus $5-$8 sides & 20% gratuity for parties of 6 or more. Next time we will have to visit their brunch buffet!

Always one of my favorite places to eat when in the Garland area! Have been here many of times. Tried new dishes yesterday for lunch and was impressed. The lobster ravioli is new and hit the mark! Service was very good, as always. Wasn't too busy for a Sunday lunch. Dinner time is when the crowd usually comes in.

This is one of my first times trying out the place. i love the friend goat and i love their dips. staff were nice and it was lively in the restaurant

Last night was very special for us at Ferah. We were all having such a rough day and decided to come together and eat dinner and have some cocktails. We really needed to decompress, talk, and enjoy. Adrian was so nice to us, he treated us like friends, talked to us, and as the evening went one, the food, the conversation and our time together made us feel so much better. We had the goat cheese appetizer which it's so delicious. Also, my family ordered the chicken entree, the gyro plate, and I ordered the chicken pita which was perfect for me because I'm in a low calorie diet. The drinks were excellent, my family had the bubbles drink and I had the aperol. Thank you so much for such great evening, it definitely made a difference for us coming here.

I like Mediterranean food. I like Mexican food. I like Tex-Mex. I'm torn about "Tex-Med". It just doesn't seem like a good combination. I went for the Greek salad with gyro meat. The salad itself was fresh and well portioned but the meat... It lacked the taste expected for gyro meat. Some of this might be because it was sliced thin rather than hacked off a larger piece of meat as would be expected from a typical Mediterranean or Green restaurant. Think: Arby's gyro, and not in the good way. My wife had the "gyro taco". Same meat but a toasted flour tortilla. Odd, but she said it tasted okay. She is not a big eater so it was enough for her. Bigger appetites might want more. Price of the items seemed to be on the high side. My salad was $19. Many of the items on the menu were over $20 with some over $30. At that point, if you want some really good Mediterranean food, there are some excellent buffets in Richardson that I would recommend instead. You will get more for your money without the gimic of being "Tex-Med". Service was excellent. The server was attentive, funny, and fast with refills. Ambience is modern but not very Mediterranean-like. I would have preferred some pictures of the beautiful Mediterranean area, but alas it's just a modern looking restaurant.

I was looking to end my trip to the Dallas area on a high note. After seeing all the positive reviews for this place and finding it in easy driving distance of our hotel, Ferah became my dinner of choice -- and I'm really glad it did! My parents and I visited here on Saturday, June 10, for dinner. This restaurant, to my surprise, is actually in an outdoor shopping complex/mall. Not a problem, just not what I was expecting. As such, parking is abundant and pretty easy, and of course you can walk by or easily access a variety of mall-type stores. The actual restaurant is on a corner. It looks a little dark from the outside but inside you're greeted by beautiful, modern, and bright decor. We came pretty late on Saturday (probably around 8 PM) and so it wasn't particularly busy. We were seated quickly and our server, Chansey (sp?) greeted us cheerfully. Chansey was absolutely a highlight! Sweet, friendly, conversational, patient, and prompt. She gave us space to peruse the fairly extensive menu and delivered our food to us quickly once we ordered it. The menu is neat. I like the Tex-Med theme -- it's a fun play on Tex-Mex. There should be something for almost everybody here, which is always nice. My parents each got a barbacoa short rib taco (sans cilantro relish) and split an order of both hummus and spinach and artichoke dip with pita. I got in on the appetizer action and enjoyed both of them! The hummus was smooth and bright and I really enjoyed the lightly grilled taste of the pita. We all felt the spinach and artichoke dip was a little too heavy on the spinach and a little light on the cheese and artichokes, but it was also enjoyable. My mom, who I thought would be least enthusiastic about this dining experience as she's not normally a huge Mediterranean fan, has mentioned how much she loved her barbacoa taco at least three times since then! So that one is definitely a winner. :) As for me, I ordered the grilled chicken on pita with no onions and added a side of truffle fries. I thought the size of the pita was quite large given the price! Eventually the weight, heat, and juicy/wateriness of the toppings did get to the bread and it became a little messy and hard to eat, but the quality of the ingredients was clearly there. Juicy chicken and crisp, flavorful veggies! And the truffle fries were sooooo good. To our shock and joy, Chansey brought out to us a complimentary order of baklava to finish out our dining experience. I'm not sure what we did to deserve such a treat, but it was such a fun and delicious surprise. Honestly, it might've been the best food item of the night, too! It was arranged beautifully on a super cute board cut in the shape of Texas, with a few poofs of whipped cream and a delightful berry coulis/drizzle. The baklava was crisp, sweet, and crunchy from the nuts. The berry drizzle cut the sweetness perfectly, and there was just enough for each of us to round us out to the perfect level of fullness. Again, not sure how we got so lucky, but thank you so much!! As a result of this kindness, we got the Dallas send-off I'd hoped for. :) I will absolutely tell my friend and her fiancé (whom we were visiting nearby) what a positive experience we had, and we will be back for more yumminess the next time we visit the area! Give them a shot!

3/5 Mixed Grill Platter 4/5 Raspberry Bubbles The mixed grill platter was the standard platter you would find at any Mediterranean restaurant. A solid option but nothing special. The raspberry bubbles drink was pretty good, I like bubbles in general so this slightly sweet bubbly drink was perfect for me. The waitstaff was very quick with menus, taking our orders, and bringing the check. Shout out to the executive chef for bringing out our meals to us! Ambiance wise, it's a good date night or meetup spot for friends.

I've been here twice and I've yet to be disappointed. The hummus is fantastic, as is pretty much everything else. Most recently we ordered the sampler platter, which has bacon wrapped dates, fried goat cheese, hummus, arancini, and falafel. It also came with pita bread. Out of everything, my favorites were the hummus and the goat cheese, but I wouldn't say no to any of it and I'd 100% order it again. I also ordered a gyro taco which was solid, though it didn't blow me away as much as the other items. The previous time I came here I don't remember exactly what I ordered, but I think it was a shush kebab entree and we really enjoyed it. The space is airy and classy, and the service is friendly. I'll be coming back again!

Cute place, delightful staff. The cocktails were really nice. The food was pretty good but I just don't have these huge take away moments. I would go again if I'm in the shopping complex and want some decent food.

This place was great. We wanted to try several things so shared the sampler, babaganush, shrimp scampi (not pictured) and two yummy deserts. Everything was tasty and the service was professional. The restaurant is nice and clean with a neat vibe. I love this concept and can't wait to come back and try more items off the menu!

Tried it for the first time last week via delivery for lunch. I ordered a grilled chicken pita and sweet potato fries. Everything was delivered hot and quickly. Delicious sweet potato fries! I think the pita would've been much more incredible eating in person but I won't knock them for that. Can't wait to try more.

I've been here a couple of times during our trips to the Firewheel mall. I love the modern twist to traditional Mediterranean dishes! The restaurant is modern, yet very warm and welcoming! I would definitely recommend the sample platter! It had a little bit of everything, and was just a good dish to converse and enjoy some drinks! Service has been spectacular both times I've been here!

Review of Sunday buffet. Unfortunately the food was mediocre. Eggs and bacon were like your hotel breakfast buffet (not the nicer hotels). Agree with other poster that the sliders were a big miss. All dry: biscuit, chicken. The croissants were good. There was some smoothie cup that had no taste and was kind of bad. Salmon and couscous were ok and so were the pancakes. The other option was chicken pasta which I didnt have any interest in trying. Overall the selection was not a lot. Other similar types of Mediterranean buffets offer more options and better quality. Desserts were good, but only a few choices. Staff was very friendly and super attentive. Hopefully the food is better when ordering separately.

Decor is rustic elegant, very comfortable. Service was great. We tried the mushroom and asparagus risotto (one with grilled chicken and one with short rib), falafel burger, gyro taco, special of the night (trout - it was delicious), and superfood salad. For apps we had the brussel sprouts (delicious) and bacon wrapped dates (my wife LOVED these). We enjoyed everything. Nothing was left on the plates. Flavors were really good. Highly recommend.

Humiliated beyond belief. Suggested this for a birthday celebration and family drove an hour to arrive. Server was very nice, but no one paid attention when our food was an hour late, even after we asked several times. Food was a let down. Spinach artichoke dip was very runny. Manchego with olives had 3 olives (& 5 people) Hummus was good Pita warm and fresh. Entrees: Tacoes were okay but falalel had 1/2 patty only and all lettuce Risotto was ordered by 2, one with shrimp and one salmon. Risotto was good texture but both proteins burned to a crisp. Chicken sandwich okay. Comped us two desserts to "make it up to us" but the mood and ambiance was past spoiled. Been here before and never encountered this. Chef came to table to apologize but when I inquired about delay, was told "printer ran out of tape and our order was never processed." Why didn't they figure it out when we asked and asked??? Humiliated and frustrated, and still paid a lot of money for an awfully less than mediocre meal.

A delightful take on Mediterranean food. The space is bright and airy with plenty of parking around back. The service is prompt and friendly. I particularly enjoyed the fried Brussels sprouts appetizer and grilled chicken on pita with sweet potato fries. I was a little less impressed with the falafel tower. Overall, we were happy with this restaurant and will return when the opportunity presents itself.

We had a group of 25 and they accommodated us perfectly. Everyone enjoyed their meals- adults and picky teens alike! Recommend giving them a try!

I really liked the evil eye decor thingies on the wall LOL! The staff was so attentive & sweet to my whole party. Definitely come during happy hour, their drinks are unique & amazing!

UPDATED: Chef Burak, Thank you for your polite and professional reply and suggestions. I am Sicilian, and very familiar with the entire Mediterranean region. For some clean restrooms, good service, menu, variety, and parking are key review criteria. For me it is Halal. You may not value halal worthy of the rating, but it's accurate for me. Win my business and I'll happily update the rating. However, if you have a separate listing for the Halal catering option, I would love to try that service and happy to provide a separate rating.

We loved the food so much, we will have to come back for their brunch one day... the vibe is cool too. My two friends went with their unlimited brunch, and the food looks exactly like their photos, and tastes even better. My husband and I went for salads as we had dinner plans. Can't wait to come back next time we're in town.

Food was delicious. Service was not good. Place was empty on a Saturday at lunch and they sat us all the way around the side and backed up in a corner. We were pretty much ignored the whole time.

Love this place. The owner is a wonderful person and chef. Food is always delicious and service is thoughtful. The plates are unique and full of flavor. Love all the evil eyes, hope they always bring protection to his business!

FERAH is the place to go for a great Mediterranean feel, with a side of TX. The staff is always very kind and the atmosphere is perfect for the casual meeting or family outing. I've tried several dishes here and all of them have been five stars. My favorite go to is ( The cast iron grilled chicken )

Delicious, fresh tasting food! I've been here 10+ times in the last two years or so with my family and it is one of my favorite places to eat in the area. They have a daily happy hour from 4-6pm that I learned about after visiting many times and happened to arrive in that time window once and think there are some solid choices available (most notably the crispy brussel sprouts and the spicy salmon taco. We also enjoy the charred salsa and hummus appetizer. We also enjoy the risotto, jumbo crab cake (although it seemed to have gotten much less 'jumbo' lately), and the lamb. The salads are all very fresh and well made. The Texas shaped chocolate cake is very rich and tasty.

Made a reservation for Easter Sunday dinner, the restaurant was nearly empty. The service was friendly. This is not a family style type of menu. The portion sizes are fairly small and difficult to share. We shared the pick 4 mezes for our large party and it was not enough - though they did bring out more pita for an extra charge. The pita was hot and fresh! And the dips did taste good. My friend ordered the cast iron roasted chicken which was good and I liked my gnocchi with short rib dish. Another friend got the creamy Tuscan salmon which was probably the best dish. I did not like the mixed grill platter or Ferag 10 spice chicken - they both tasted bland (under salted) and were small portions especially for the price. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and I loved the large family style table. For the price, I just think there are better options for Mediterranean food.

Really disappointed that our dinner experience did match previous visits here. We arrived at around 5:30pm and were the first table to be seated. There was no one at the front to greet us and three staff said hello but walked to the kitchen and finally someone sat us. That was not typical for this restaurant. We ordered drinks and appetizers. Hummus and spinach artichoke dip with pita a vegetables. The hummus was a smaller portion than usual and all the pita had burnt lines on it. The vegetables were not fresh and celery was so old I was able to bend it. We sent it back. The spinach artichoke dip had frozen spinach and was a very small amount and was mediocre. The glass of wine I ordered was a very small pour compared to what they usually serve. The entrees were ok but again not typical of their normal meals. Perhaps they are under new management and have a new chef. The meal took forever and we wanted to order dessert but didn't want to wait any longer so we just asked for the check. There were only 6-7 tables and two servers. Not sure why everything took so long. Not sure we will return. The server was friendly. Thank you

Food was very good. Food was delivered to our office for a business lunch. The lady who delivered the food took the time to lay out the dishes the way it's meant to be served; this shows such pride in their service. We will definitely order again.

Celebrated my friend's birthday here. The restaurant was beautiful, very unexpected based on location!! The service was great, and the fried goat cheese was fantastic. I ordered the Greek salad with shrimp, and it was quite tasty!! The waitress helped make her birthday special with crème brûlée for the table. Very nice touch! Will def return!!

This is a cute place with a fun Med vibe, and we wanted to love it, but I'm sad to say we were a bit disappointed on our first visit here. The food we tried was all on the bland side and under seasoned. Even the tzatziki was too oily and little flavor. My husband ordered the short rib entree and I ordered the gnocchi with added short rib...and in both cases, the short rib had very unappetizing large chunks of fat in it. Of course short rib is naturally fatty...it's what gives it flavor. But, either the cuts weren't right and/or they needed to be trimmed because this fat did not render at all and it was just NOT an appealing sight for the customer. Service could also have been better. Our waitress said she just saw our food come up in the window and then proceeded to disappear for 10 minutes before delivering it. Huh.

2 visits, both exceptional. First time had the short ribs with a side of asparagus . Superb meal & service. Cut the short rib with my fork, easily. Second time it was happy hour & I had a meal from the HH appetizers. Grilled chicken pita sandwich, Brussels sprouts & roasted salsa with hummus & grilled pita bread. All $5 each. Incredible. Half price cocktails, great house wine. Best HH in the metroplex. Both times I sat at the bar & Tom waited on me. 5 star service both times. Perfect timing & beyond friendly. Exemplary. Highly recommend.

Food here is quite amazing frankly. Wasn't expecting it to be but I've come back several times now and the food and service hasn't disappointed. New menu items being added tomorrow so come check it out!

Good sized dining room with clear views of bar and kitchen. Really good food served by friendly, efficient waiters.

Came in for family dinner Sunday! And the ambiance and interior design was beautiful. The food was great, the only reason I'm giving 4 stars is only because I wish the portion size was more appropriate to the price point. For a table of 3, everything only had 2 of each item which made sharing not as easy. We started off with the chef sampler- favorites had to be the crab cakes, and fried goat cheese. The pomegranate seeds was a wonderful surprise. Next time I would probably order those items separately. Also got the mixed platter- but only had 2 pieces of each item chicken, gyro slices, beef 41 kebab. Didn't appear to have meatball on our platter so I'm not sure what happened there. For my personal taste I would have loved a spicy element added to this dish instead of 2 tzatziki dips. The rice pilaf and seasoned veggies that come with this dish it was well cooked. The seasoned veggies were the underrated star. The chocolate mousse was the best part of our meal. Plus as a true Texas, Texas shaped food items always taste better good consistency and I enjoyed it with the Turkish coffee to cut through the sweetness. Overall a really cool concept, and the staff was great.

The server and waiters at this restaurant are Extremely Nice, Friendly, Welcoming and Professional!!!! The food was delicious but the portions don't match the price!!! I had a roasted baby chicken breast and leg with a side salad for $40. You can get a 4 piece roasted chicken at Golden Chic with side, roll and beverage for less than $15 and it's just as good but more filling!!! If you're looking for upscale restaurants and food that looks pretty and not concerned about expensive prices and portions!!!! It's a good place for you!!!

Amazing food absolutely loved the Risotto but the shrimp was a little burned maybe next time I'll do salmon

Good food, never had Mediterranean type food before. Had the burrito on the brunch menu. Very tasty

Went to new years brunch this morning. With an ice tea and a water, 10 dollar tip it cost 60 bucks. For 2 of us. Mediocre food at best. Service was great. Food not so good. Not so bad but nothing was exciting to get me to come back. Best thing was the baklava for desert.

I love this restaurant. First of all the ambiance is great, the service is friendly and helpful. The food is absolutely delicious, quality and well seasoned food. The baklava is the best I've ever had

I used to frequent this place often and it has always been a hit. Today I placed a Togo order and maybe it was a bad day or because it was a Togo order but I feel there was a significant in drop of quality and was over all disappointed.

WOW!!! I absolutely loved everything I ate here. We started off with the falafel tower, so yummy. Then I got the mushroom and asparagus risotto which was so decadent I could eat it daily, and to finish off we got the Turkish coffee Creme Brûlée! The dessert was as awesome as it sounds. I have to go back to try more. I have to eat gluten free, so I loved that their menu had so many options and it was clearly marked! The service was awesome and everyone was very attentive. The ambiance was great as well, love the decor. It felt like such a fun and special night out.

I ordered: Chef Sampler Crispy Brussel Sprouts Mushroom & Asparagus Risotto Baklava (to go) Everything was really tasty...I'll be back. I'm determined to try their entire menu now. On the Chef Sampler my faves were the goat cheese and bacon wrapped fig(?). Yum! I am not really a fan of falafel but theirs was well made. I have had my share of dry, crumbly falafel, theirs doesn't fall into this category at all. I was hoping the sampler had crab cake, but they sub'd something else (Arancini?) and it was alright. My mouth was ready for crab cake when I went in. That's okay, like I said...next time. The Crispy Brussel Sprouts...they were okay as well. I would order the Chef Sampler again a million time over, but if someone ELSE orders the Brussel Sprouts, I'd get a couple of spoonfuls. The Risotto was so creamy and delish. They can do no wrong w/ this dish. Pricey, but kinda worth it. Nice little place and everyone was so friendly. Thanks. See ya next time.

Perfect place to go for Easter brunch. Everything was fresh and constantly restocked. The Buffay with the perfect blend of breakfast and other food options.

I stumbled in Ferah thanks to their advertisement that came in my mail. I got intrigued by the fact it was labeled a Mexican Mediterranean fusion. Both those cuisines (alone) are something my dad like so I decided to take him here and get him out of his comfort zone a little. We started off with a bottle of wine which all their bottles are very reasonable priced. It almost didn't make sense to order by the glass (I love wine too much). We decided to try the fried goat cheese which my dad was very hesitant on because he doesn't like goat cheese raw, neither do I but, today was about getting him out of his comfort zone and trying new things. Guess who absolutely loved it. It was quite funny cuz he probably took the smallest piece he could cut initially but then dug in for more! For meals, we tried the chicken shish kabob, Mediterranean salmon, and the wild asparagus and mushroom risotto that I added shrimp to. All were a winner with the fam! The kabobs were delicious! Perfectly done and better than some of the Mediterranean restaurants out there. My dad loved the salmon and the couscous, also another thing out of his comfort zone. My dad only mentioned that the portions are small for the price but with the appetizer, it ended up being enough to fill you up. But, he actually can't wait to come back which is a amazing because he is picky and it's a feat for some restaurants that they can't accomplish. I'm not sure if this restaurant is really a fusion but more of an offering of both those cuisines, either way, it did not disappoint! We will be back. Well done Ferah for helping me show my dad that getting out of his comfort zone can be a great thing! As for covid precautions, they are on point. There's sanitizer at the front, everyone is wearing masks and people are seated socially distanced apart. In addition, they have a patio where you can dine as well!

Oh my gosh!!!!! We have discovered a perfect happy hour place!!!! Seriously, if you're in the north Garland, Sachse, Rowlett area around Firewheel Town Center you have got to try this place! Check out the picture of the Happy Hour menu. Great price points and the food is wonderful! We were looking for a place to wind down after a busy week and everything else around was sounding "ugh" to us. This place had been on our list to try so we finally did. The decor is trendy and cozy. We sat at the bar and Tom greeted us immediately. He was great at suggesting things to try and raves about the menu. He shared that he was a foodie and his suggestions were spot on! He was very attentive and engaging. Overall, a great bartender! We ordered the Chef Sampler plate to share. Bacon wrapped stuffed dates were out of this world! These flavor bombs convinced my sexy hunk of a man to rethink his opinion of dates. They were savory and sweet at the same time with the perfect texture of bacon and chewy date. Amazing! The hummus.... Homemade and perfect with a cold beer and charred grilled pita. The fried goat cheese, crab cake and falafel tower were also very good!!! We were in foodie heaven! Please, give this place a try. With Covid hitting restaurants so hard, they need all the help they can get. Especially the non-chain individually owned places. We will be coming here on a regular basis from now on!

Like this restaurant! Great menu and nice serving staff! Good ambience too just wish it were closer to us in Richardson.

Back again and it was better than the first time. Fried goat cheese is so amazing! A few of our favorites: bacon wrapped dates, sweet potato fries, cast iron roasted chicken.

Where do I start in singing the praises of this culinary oasis!? First off, the owner is a chef who worked with Stephan Pyles, so the food is the focus: from scratch, super fresh, innovative, delicious. The Texas-meets-Mediterranean concept is both creative and unique. The Greek Gyro Platter is to die for. The beef is thinly shaved, super lean and so soft it practically melts in your mouth. The Chipotle Caesar Salad is awesome; the cornbread croutons are crunchy on the outside and hot and soft on the inside. How does that even work!? The Beef Short Rib is lean and delicious too, but on the heavier side. The ambiance is upscale and gorgeous without being stuffy. Love the decor! They have a beautiful wine bar too with a nice selection. Finally, the service is very friendly with just the right amount of attentiveness. Ask for Emmy when you go; she's the best! Nothing like Ferah exists in Garland or the surrounding suburbs. It's on the edge of Firewheel Town Center in not the most visible location, so I REALLY hope they can be successful there. It's an amazing, special little place. Perfect for date night. Try it and then tell everyone you know!
