Thai Rice Rice rolls and five totally plant-based entrees make this a must-try restaurant in the mid-suburbs.

i Fratelli In 1987 five Cole brothers, teen-agers at the time, opened their first small restaurant in Irving at Beltline and Walnut Hill. It was the chief hang-out of MacArthur High School cheerleaders and football players. The restaurant has moved twice since, plus opened several pizza locations in the communities surrounding DFW Airport. The brothers have aged, improved their food, and become more health conscious over the years. There are many plant-based and healthy selections here. On our last visit, cheese was removed when possible and portions were cheerfully split in the kitchen. 7750 N. MacArthur at LBJ, Irving. 972 501-9700. HH-HHH RR $-$$

Good service at this Las Colinas location. Greek 5433 N MacArthur, Irving. 972 518-0939 HH R $$-$$$
