Fresh-baked pita, hummus and a familiar Las Vegas restaurant name are back on the menu. Hedary’s Mediterranean celebrated its grand opening on October 2, 2026, at The Gramercy in southwest Las Vegas.

 

For longtime locals, the return revives a name once associated with West Sahara Avenue. For first-time visitors, it brings Lebanese favorites to a new Russell Road address, including shareable mezze and a garlic-and-lemon chicken dish rooted in the family’s cooking.

 

The Family Behind the Comeback

 

The Hedary family’s restaurant history began in Beirut, where Antoine and Leila Hedary opened a restaurant in 1960. The family later opened Hedary’s in Fort Worth, Texas, in 1976. Those earlier restaurants established the name long before its latest Las Vegas opening.

 

Frank Hedary brought the family name to Las Vegas in 2004 with a restaurant on West Sahara Avenue. He sold that business in 2013. His sister, Mariz Khoury, now leads the reopened Hedary’s at The Gramercy. Khoury also established Khoury’s Mediterranean Restaurant on West Sahara Avenue in 2006.

 

That family timeline helps explain why this is described as a return, not the debut of an unfamiliar restaurant. The name has been part of the Las Vegas dining scene for more than two decades, even though the newest location occupies a different part of the valley. The Las Vegas Review-Journal’s reporting on the reopening provides additional background on the family and its move.

 

What to Order: Pita, Mezze and Frarej

 

Fresh pita is one of the restaurant’s calling cards. According to the official Hedary’s website, guests can watch dough rolled and baked in the open kitchen. That bread is a natural companion to hummus and baba ghanoush, two familiar dips for a shared start to the meal.

 

The Mezza brings dips, falafel, vegetables and grape leaves together for a shared start. Selections may vary with the current menu, but the assortment offers several flavors and textures in one order. It is a useful starting point for diners exploring Lebanese appetizers.

 

For the main course, Frarej combines half a baked chicken with potatoes, carrots, garlic and lemon. Hedary’s describes the preparation as a longstanding family recipe. The Dinner for Two is another option, combining soup, assorted mezze, meats, rice and baklava for diners who want a wider introduction to the menu.

 

Guests interested in a variety of flavors can compare the Mezza and Dinner for Two, while those seeking a chicken entree can look at Frarej. Menu availability, portions and prices may change, so check the restaurant’s current menu before ordering.

 

Lebanese mezze are typically shared, making them a practical way for a table to sample several appetizers without ordering separate starters for everyone. Hedary’s menu also lists more substantial choices, so guests can build a meal around dips and bread or move directly to an entree.

Why the Gramercy Location Matters?

 

The new restaurant sits in The Gramercy, away from the former West Sahara location. For southwest Las Vegas residents, that means a different neighborhood option for Lebanese dishes; for longtime Hedary’s customers elsewhere in the valley, it means a new destination to find.

 

The Russell Road address places Hedary’s in a new part of the valley while retaining the family name familiar to some West Sahara diners. Its map location can help visitors plan a trip from other neighborhoods.

A Familiar Name, a New Address
