The Greek Cafe - Dallas, TX

Preston & 635 area. This cafe has gone through changes over the years we have been visiting it.
Now over that last 6 months at least that I know of it has transformed into a first class food buffet for lunch.

Many delicacies of Middle Eastern delight, but also some of other countries - I had stuffed green peppers there one day that reminded me of my Polish friends - I guess they could have been a Mid Eastern dish as well.

A little more in price, around on the high side of $10 or a bit more, but worth it for the very fresh food, meats and salads. It looks more like a garden party than a school cafeteria like some do. Good variety of vegetarian selections.

Fadi's Middel Eastern, Dallas, TX

Several locations in Dallas, and Houston, TX Fadi's is wonderful with their wood fired brick oven for cooking white and whole wheat pita bread. You pick it up fresh right at the end of the line. For under $10 at lunch with a drink, you can get the whole buffet of many salads, cooked veggies, and meat selections.

This is a great restaurant for vegetarians to get their fill of many delicacies.

Our suggestions:

• the giro sandwich in either the wholewheat pita or the wrap
• or
• the falafle in ww pita or wrap
• &
• a small salad.
• One can get the small salad to go with 3 kinds of humus, baba ganush, eggplant, and at least 8 other choices of cucumbers, olives, tabuli, and greek.
  

You can save money this way and all are happy.
Want fresh juices like carrot, or orange?
they have this too.
Their staff is very attentive and friendly, continually upgrading all the dishes to keep them fresh.

Ali Baba Mediterrian Grill, Irving, TX

Need a picture of this place. Great clean food, no upset bodies except when I over eat - easy to do here. I do not care for grape leaves from a can those these may be; it is the soy oil that gets me.

These grape leaves,& Baba ghanoush (Arabic بابا غنوج bābā ġanūj) are wonderful: my favorites here. Humus is Susan's, as she is not an eggplant fan. I love sauces too, their cucumber & yogurt, tahini sauces are my choices. The garlic is great but very very strong; good to kill any virus you may be fighting off during flue season...

I usually can't get off the salad buffet. The main buffet has this very yummy small bean, yogurt with chopped onions and tomato dish; Spinach with garlic; 2 kinds of rice; chicken and beef kabob grilled to perfection; Lamb and beef giro style meat, and burger logs - I name them- grilled beef very tasty; a beef pie like square - a little dry but good. It is fairly busy there at lunch rush. We go just about every Thursday- worth the wait but time your arrival as they won't seat you until both parties are there.
