About Us

The Story Behind

Shishkabob Express

Shishkabob Express was established in 1994 in Dallas Texas under the name “SAHARA Restaurant and Market”. After 20 years of having a series of successes in building Middle Eastern restaurants across the United States mid-west and east-coast during the 1990’s.  Anthony, a former electrical engineer turned restaurateur, joined his friend and chef, Mohammad, to develop, study and master recipes that could taste great, nourish the body, and help prevent against modern illness. Our promise to you is that if you order from us, you will always get fresh, healthy, delicious and Halal meals.

We loved this buffet as a change of pace to a regular lunch out. My youngest daughter is picky and while I prefer hot pot for an AYCE experience, she can't enjoy it. The food here was very good, there was a good variety, and we left very full. Price was just about $20/person, which honestly you'd spend in any sit down restaurant these days, so to have access to soup, salad, appetizers, entrees, and desserts for this price was impressive. We went around 11 on a weekday and there was only 1 other person there, although the woman working the register said that it does get busy a little later in the day. I would go back, for sure.

Had the buffet but you can order in or take out. For us the buffet was the value proposition in that you could eat and drink your fill. Enjoy!
