    Dallas Farmers Market conveniently gathers exotic eats in one place

    The opening of Indian restaurant 8 Cloves reinforces what devoted diners have always known about the Dallas Farmers Market: you can sample everything the world has to offer, all in one place.

    The newest addition to the foodie wonderland inside The Market comes from one of the chefs behind Laili, Afifa Nayeb. She's put her own creative twist on the Indian spice world, developing recipes with spices from north and south India.

    Traditional korma, tikka, biryani, and curry dishes populate the menu, but with thali platters (a sampling of several different meals), a lamb boti skillet (tender lamb pieces marinated in ginger and caramelized onions with a light curry yogurt), and salads (one has diced fresh vegetables and feta with dried mint in a lime vinaigrette) furthering the offerings. There's even brunch, with a spicy take on omelets and a "chef's specialty" roasted tomato and egg sandwich. Desserts run the gamut from a tres leches cheesecake to kheer rice pudding and mango crème brûlée.

    8 Cloves joins an array of Vietnamese, Mediterranean, Cajun, Caribbean, Mexican, Italian, and regional favorites, all in The Market.

    Chef Afifa's Laili is known for its dumplings and turnovers, cooked with spices and flavors from regions along the Silk Road trade routes.

    BellaTrino’s Neapolitan Pizzeria at the Market boasts Italian sandwiches, pastas, and salads in addition to its delicious pizzas. Palmieri Cafe brings a Southern Italian flair to its coffee and baked goods, while Chelles Macarons offers a literal rainbow of choices for the delicate French dessert.

    Enjoy a taste of island paradise at Caribbean Cabana, or explore Vietnamese fusion at Nammi Truck. Rex's Seafood and Market has some of the freshest ocean fare you'll find in Dallas, with Cajun Tailgators serving up a different sort of aquatic resident: fried gator.

    People make pilgrimages for El Mero Mero's tamales and Taqueria La Ventana handmade Mexican street tacos, but there are also gourmet tacos, burritos, quesadillas, salads, elotes, and churros, not to mention the all-important beers and margaritas. And for more beer, Noble Rey Brewing Co. has got you covered.

    On the weekends, the international options expand even further in The Shed.

    You could get a taste of traditional Asian flavors at Wu Dujour, or munch on Cuban favorites at Mi Habana. Proper Baking Company makes traditional British foods from scratch, while Brother Products brings light Mediterranean flair with fresh hummus, pita chips, and an array of vegan and vegetarian products.

    And because vendors at The Shed are continually rotating, there's always a chance that you'll uncover more new and interesting flavors with each visit.

    Chuy's from Knox Dallas now open at new Greenville Avenue space

    An institution in Dallas' Knox Street neighborhood has been uprooted: Chuy's, the Tex-Mex restaurant that had been open at 4544 McKinney Ave. for nearly 32 years, has moved to 1520 Greenville Ave., on the lowest part of Lower Greenville, where it opened on April 28.

    The relocation is due to the fact that the old space at the corner of Knox and McKinney will be razed — part of a mixed-use development on Knox Street that's expected to open in 2026 and include a hotel, luxury condos, office space, and retail and dining space. Rumors about the likely closure of that Chuy's location had circulated for nearly a year.

    A spokesperson said "It’s been an honor to be part of the Dallas community for more than 30 years and serve guests at our restaurant in the Knox-Henderson district. We’re excited to have moved to a new, bigger restaurant just two miles away and to keep offering our guests everything they love about Chuy’s."

    Founded in Austin by Mike Young and John Zapp in 1982, Chuy’s became known for its Tex-Mex cuisine and eclectic decor, featuring tree sculptures, Elvis art, dog photos, and more. Signature dishes include Big As Yo Face Burritos, Chicka-Chicka Boom Boom Enchiladas, and the Elvis Presley Memorial combo.

    The McKinney Avenue location was also known for its Hatch chile program that included not only featuring Hatch chiles in various seasonal specials, but also positioning a chile roaster outside the restaurant right on McKinney Avenue — very much Old Knox as opposed to the glossy high-rise direction in which Knox is currently headed.

    In July 2024, Chuy's was acquired by Darden Restaurants, the hospitality company that owns other big-name chains, such as Olive Garden and The Capital Grille.

    The new location looks great on paper, with parking nearby and a large patio. However, the space has suffered a bit of a pall in recent years, cycling through concepts such as Austin-based gastropub Haymaker, which opened there in 2016 after redoing the space at great expense, then closing after barely a year; followed by Desert Racer, the short-lived patio spot from chef Nick Badovinus which closed in March 2024.

    But Chuy’s is upbeat, outfitting the new location wiith its iconic eclectic theming, including the Chihuahua Bar, towering metal palm trees, ceilings filled with hand-carved wooden fish, and the Elvis fountain – which has just been refurbished.

    There are also several enhancements:

    • More seating
    • A pergola-covered patio that doubles their previous amount of patio seating
    • A covered outdoor waiting area with benches, with cocktail servers to fetch margaritas while diners wait
    • A parking lot with 84 spaces — more than double their previous 32 spots

    The new location is operated by the same team, including General Manager Jack Miller, and they've also expanded total staff to accommodate the space.

    "We relocated to Greenville Avenue because it was a great area with long-term growth potential and wasn’t too far from where we served our guests for more than 30 years," their spokesperson says.
