Nish! brings River Oaks a big Mediterranean lunch buffet

A new Mediterranean grill in River Oaks has exactly what the west side needed: an all-you-can-eat weekday lunch buffet.

Nish! Mediterranean Grill is open near River Oaks Boulevard, featuring a well-rounded menu of kebabs, platters and Greek salads.

The weekday lunch buffet costs $15. Lunch specials cost $8.99.

It’s the Khalil family’s first restaurant. Nish! replaces a Braum’s on the corner along Ohio Garden Road.

(There’s one notable holdover from Braum’s: Nish! serves crinkle-cut fries, along with regular burgers and Philly cheesesteaks)

A recent chcken kebab platter with baba ghanouj compared favorably to the better-known Mediterranean restaurants in Arlington.

In particular, Nish! has more sauces than other similar restaurants, with a garlic-pepper sauce, a spicy green sauce and a shatta hot sauce along wth tzatziki and tahini.

Nish! has been busy, and the service has been a little stressed at times. Be patient.

It’s open daily for lunch and dinner at 4913 Ohio Garden Road, north of the west Fort Worth neighborhood known as the River District; 817-615-9292, facebook.com/nishmedigrill.
