Founded in San Diego in 2004 by husband-and-wife Sean and Maria Pourteymour, Luna Grill has 65 restaurants across Southern California, North Texas and Arizona. The California-based chain has 10 locations in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.<\/p>\n

The Forney restaurant offers dine-in, takeout, digital ordering and catering.<\/p>\n

“Forney has its own character and a strong sense of identity, and we’re excited to be part of its growth while giving local families a new place to enjoy the food they love,” said Rich Pinnella, CEO of Luna Grill, in a statement.<\/p>\n

One of Luna Grill’s signature practices is marinating its meats for 24 hours. The gyro meat is sliced to order, and the restaurant’s sauces are made from scratch every day.<\/p>\n
