Yemen in Dallas

Arwa sits towards the back of a basic brown shopping center at the corner of Greenville Avenue and Centennial Boulevard. On approach, you might think you're at the wrong place but drive around back. You'll see the sign above the door. Walking in, the fact that you're in a small shopping center in Richardson quickly fades away. The space feels fresh and immaculate, bathed in warm tones with sandy brown and yellow accents.
The food and drinks are steeped in the traditional flavors and spices of Yemen. Coffee beans are imported from Yemen and roasted in-house. Signature drinks include a Jubani made with coffee and husks (cascara), cardamom, ginger and cinnamon. The Adeni Tea is made with premium black tea, milk, sugar and an Arwa spice blend. Monday through Thursday, there are shareable pots on offer with some of their signature drinks ($15). But we say go for the signature sampler that comes with four drinks and four treats.
