The food is excellent, service by Bahaa perfect. Price is right, highly recommended place to come to.

I ordered through Uber eats and was thoroughly impressed. The food was fresh and tasty and generous portions . I ordered the mixed grill for 3 and the chicken and steak was tender and flavorful. The rice was not overcooked and seasoned well. The Greek salad and hummus were fresh . The pita I think was homemade as well. I will Be adding this to my rotation

Absolutely love this place and foresee this being in my short list for affordable comfort foods. I just ate here with a friend who has a high bar for Middle Eastern cuisine and we both absolutely loved it. The hummus is delicious and I would definitely recommend to try to warak enab as well. Portions are quite large for what you're paying for. Service was really friendly and patient as well. The restaurant is kind of hidden and tucked away but is a great place to meet someone for lunch. I've also had a very positive experience ordering delivery via Uber Eats. Definitely recommend checking this place out

We visited Open Sesame Lebanese Grill for a Friday night dinner with friends, and the experience was a mixed bag. We ordered the Ultimate Mix Grill, which is advertised as being for two people, but the portion size was quite small - definitely not enough for two. It took over 30 minutes for our food to arrive, which was a bit disappointing. However, the food itself was delicious, and the flavors were spot on, which made up for some of the waiting time. Overall, it was an okay experience. The food was tasty, but next time, we'll likely order additional plates to ensure we have enough to share.

In my opinion, this place is a hidden gem. We have been eating here for years and the quality seems to have actually improved in the past year or so. The staff here have always been nice to us. We usually eat here around 3pm so we beat the dinner crowd. I recommend dining in instead of ordering pick up if you can. They updated the interior and it looks very hip and cozy. It's a place you just want to take your time and enjoy. The beef kafta is amazing. I also really love the Shish Tawook and the Shawarma (when they have it). They have been adding appetizers to the menu and nothing so far has disappointed. One of my favorite places to eat in Dallas.

Lots of construction in front of the store right now, but the food was worth it!! Excellent tasting chicken, hummus, and salad! The prices are very low as well!

It's been long over due for this review, so here it is! First and foremost, the ambiance, I mean come on. A hole in the wall that is welcoming, fast service, plays great music and elegant? Can't be beat. The most important part about this place for me though, is that it brings me back to the family home I left in California. The food, the care, the hospitality, the overall vibe. You're always greeted with the upmost politeness which is always important upon arrival for guests. The food, I can't even begin to express how much I love. My partner and I have been going here for a month (very often throughout those 31 days). We tend to be on the look out for hole in wall restaurants/food joints and when we came here we knew it was going to be a Sunday and Thursday ritual. Especially for the coffee and tea after church. I've tried a majority of things on the menu (as well as my partner) and everything is flavorful. The labneh is our favorite, the pita is crisp, yet soft and luscious. The lamb is tender, juicy, and the herbs that are oiled and grilled throughout pair perfectly with the delicate and light rice they serve. The chicken is cooked and dressed to perfection and the juices absorb straight into the pita if you get it wrapped (please do, it's incredible and the best shawarma I've had in Texas). You quite literally, can't go wrong with any item off their menu. 10/10 The service is fast, friendly and they are always up for small good conversation; if it's not busy of course. Being more than a guest and having a relationship with the employees is always great. Thanks so much Open Sesame for the food and spectacular service. Yalla habibi!

Restaurant has a nice ambiance, very well decorated and easy to talk to your table without feeling overcrowded by other tables. Service was quick and helpful. Our server was able to navigate me through the gluten free options (which are more than plenty). I believe there were only two things I could not have off the top of my head. We got the combo and it was absolutely delicious. Would come back here again and again.

Tried this place on my trip to Dallas. I started off with red wine. For food I ordered Hummus and Veggie Grape Leaves. Food was delicious. The appetizers were served with some pickle which was tasty as well. The servers were super polite and attentive. The ambiance was decent. As it's located in a plaza so there is enough parking spots. I would highly recommend this place! MUST TRY!!

Highly recommend the krafta and kunafeh. The kunafeh is dessert sweet cheese with pistachios and crispy layer on top drenched in syrup! It is deliciousssss! Krafta is well seasoned. I like spicy hummus as sides and that would be the only side I get. Regular hummus is good too but the spicy one has more flavor Food is good but service is always rude. I have not been here where they were nice to me. Once was rude tone over the phone ordering lunch and the other was condescending tone of why I arrived too early to pick up my food. Must be a cultural thing
