This Arlington restaurant has everything you need for dinner — including toilet paper
The good deals got better this week as restaurants switched to take-out service during the coronavirus recession.
But one Arlington restaurant rolled out a bonus.
If you order a family-size chicken shawarma dinner from Prince Lebanese Grill, you also get a roll of toilet paper.
It’s $40, a good price for dinner for four from a restaurant that recently made its second appearance on “Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives.”
You get all the Prince basics: shawarma, Greek salad, hummus, rice and pita.
The restaurant is selling 100 dinner “kits” per day, the Kobty family said. Lamb shawarma is $45.
Prince’s business took off 10 years ago when a Food Network “Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives” episode discovered the Kobtys’ little restaurnt in the foyer of what used to be a burger drive-in.
Host Guy Fieri called it “just your Lebanese restaurant that you find in Texas between a bunch of Mexican restaurants close to a hospital.”
Prince Lebanese had already developed a following from workers and visitors seeking healthy Mediterranean food near Texas Health Arlington Memorial Hospital.
After the TV show aired (and repeated), Prince was able to expand its dining room from 32 people to 150.
When the show revisited for a current episode, Francis Kobty’s son Aziz worked the grilll.
Prince is one of those local restaurants that need support more than ever, particularly since it serves healthcare workers and first responders.
It’s open for take-out daily at lunch and dinner; 502 W. Randol Mill Road, 817-469-1811, princelebanesegrill.com.
