Richardson residents can look forward to a new Middle‑Eastern dining option as Jordanian street‑food chain Nashmi prepares to open its first Texas restaurant. The eatery will occupy the former Texadelphia space at 746 S. Central Expressway, Suite 100, inside the Richardson Restaurant Park development along US Highway 75.
According to Hoodline, a company representative confirmed that the opening is “coming soon,” though no specific date has been announced. The restaurant’s website, www.nashmi-usa.com, lists a menu featuring beef and chicken shawarma wraps, kebabs, hummus, fresh‑baked pita, sandwiches and fries.
Community Impact noted that Nashmi specializes in Jordanian street food, describing the menu as “shawarma, kebabs and sandwiches, alongside fresh‑baked bread and fries.” The outlet also reported that the Richardson storefront previously housed regional cheesesteak chain Texadelphia, which closed in the fall of 2025.
The brand was co‑founded by Ihsan Musleh and Abdallah Sallayma. Their first U.S. location opened in Palos Hills, Illinois, in July 2025, as reported by Southwest Regional Publishing. Nashmi’s expansion into Richardson marks its inaugural Texas presence.
Richardson has been welcoming other out‑of‑state Middle‑Eastern concepts. Hoodline previously reported that Brooklyn‑born Palestinian restaurant Ayat opened on Spring Valley Road in February 2026 and drew long lines during its soft opening. The city’s growing Arab business community is part of a broader effort to make Richardson a go‑to spot for Arab enterprises.
While Nashmi has teased its upcoming Texas operation on its official social‑media channels, the company has not yet set a grand‑opening date. Residents interested in trying the new cuisine are encouraged to monitor the restaurant’s website and social‑media feeds for the latest announcements.
What’s next: Nashmi plans to announce a specific opening date in the coming weeks. Richardson diners can expect the new location to add variety to the local food scene and contribute to the city’s economic vitality.
