Al Markaz

For more than two decades years, Al Markaz has been an institution in the Dallas-area Indian and Pakistani communities. Some of the original employees are still here, and the lunch combo is still an outrageously good deal. That long history, and those low prices, are still a big part of the restaurant’s appeal, but there […]

Amici Signature Italian

Amici has a lot to boast about – great food, an intimate atmosphere and a pretty endearing location, considering it’s way out in Carrollton. But the best thing about the cozy Italian restaurant is the chef’s pants. When we visited, they appeared to be patterned with various types of peppers in a plethora of colors. […]

Arirang Korean Kitchen

At Arirang, it’s all about noodles and dumplings. This Korean restaurant in Carrollton is tops for homemade dough, whether you order made-from-scratch noodles or plump, freshly crimped dumplings loaded with chopped kimchi. Be careful around the noodles with spicy eggplant sauce, because the word “spicy” is taken very seriously. Similarly, the noodles in savory sesame […]

Babe’s Chicken Dinner House

The small menu here reflects the predominantly fried All-Stars of Texan and Southern cuisine. There’s fried chicken and chicken-fried steak, natch. There’s fried catfish and pot roast. There’s fried chicken tenders and smoked chicken. That’s the entire selection of main dishes at Babe’s Chicken Dinner House. No joke. And that’s a relief to see in […]

Café Brazil

The original Café Brazil Lakewood location may be lost to history, but its colonies, with eclectic interior designs and attentive staff, live on throughout DFW. There’s even a restaurant all the way out in McKinney! It is a well-loved and critically acclaimed local chain that specializes in hearty, inexpensive breakfasts, gourmet roasted coffee from a […]

Casa Vieja Restaurant

This Colombian institution in Carrollton is best at the soups available as specials on certain weekends, like ajiaco, a chicken-potato soup made with indigenous corn, or a Caribbean-influenced, curried seafood bonanza. The bandeja paisa, a regional sampler plate, is excellent for newcomers to Colombian cuisine, and the empanadas are good, too. Casa Vieja has a […]

Ddong Ggo

Ddong Ggo is in the hands of new ownership, but we’re happy to report the infectious fun and shockingly good food that drew us in to this Korean street-style bar are still very much on display. Put another way: Can you imagine a better night out than a Korean bar with blaring pop music, an […]

District One

District One at the corner of Old Denton Road and the President George Bush Turnpike in Carrollton represents Vietnamese cuisine and culture in this strip mall that is home to other Asian businesses. Owner Tom Búi is living his dream of sharing his beloved cuisine with the rest of North Texas, serving food straight from […]

Dodie’s Seafood Café II

Big Easy transplants the McGuinness clan opened Dodie’s in 1989. They serve family-inspired recipes that are a gumbo blend of Cajun and New Orleans cuisine. Expect mudbugs and shrimp in all their permutations and several po-boy options, such as catfish, atop checkered tablecloths. It’s got all that, plus families, surrounded by a mishmash of beer […]

Eat Street Kabab Factory

One of the best restaurants in the area to feature foods from the Muslim cultures of the Indian subcontinent, Eat Street is tucked around the backside of a strip mall in Carrollton’s Korea Town. Here, even the lunch buffet is given unusual attention, but look out for super-tender tangri chicken legs with a bold spice […]

El Arepazo VZLA

Hiding out at the intersection of Trinity Mills and Midway is El Arepazo VZLA, a hole-in-the-wall joint offering up authentic Venezuelan fare. Start with an order of empanadas; whatever is fresh and available, but go early because they do sell out. Try the tostones, fried plantains topped with shredded queso blanco and two different salsas, […]

Fat Ni

Fat Ni is fun. Everything about it is fun. Well, it’s in a strip mall, but aside from the location, it’s a good time. To order you’ll get a sheet of paper on which to check off boxes, almost like ordering Girl Scout cookies. It allows newbies to get familiar with the options. Then, in the […]
