Small businesses are the backbone of our community, and we're proud that more than 8,500 small businesses continue to choose Irving-Las Colinas as home. We’re proud that one of them, Kafi BBQ, a halal barbecue restaurant, ranks among the highest-rated barbecue restaurants in the United States!

What started in Irving in December 2024 has quickly become a well-known favorite. A typical weekend at Kafi BBQ has a line of customers outside the door and sells out mid-afternoon each day.

Stop by 8140 N. MacArthur Blvd. and support this local business! https://www.star-telegram.com/entertainment/restaurants/article316805080.html
