Palestinian restaurant Ayat is now open in Richardson after holding a soft opening on Feb. 7, a company representative said. This is the New York-based restaurant’s first Texas location.
Ayat serves both traditional Palestinian dishes and new takes on Middle Eastern cuisine. Popular dishes include maklouba, a six-layer “upside down” dish of chicken, rice and vegetables, as well as mansaf, a stew of bone-in lamb chunks and yogurt sauce served over sajj bread and rice.
