Wings Fly, a family owned and operated restaurant, has opened its doors at 960 Patterson Road in Dayton.

In addition to wings, including boneless wings, the restaurant offers chicken tenders with a variety of sauces including Buffalo Ranch, Hot BBQ, Hot Honey, Lemon Pepper and Parmesan Garlic. They also have sandwiches like the NY-Style Chopped Cheese or The Flying Burger, as well as wraps featuring a Chicken Caesar and Buffalo Chicken. Meals are served

with seasoned fries and customers can order desserts such as funnel cake fries or cheesecake.

Wings Fly is operated by Sabrina

Melhem and her brothers, Laith and Ismail, their mom, Najah, and business partner, Sami Jamhour.

Laith and Ismail always dreamed

of opening their own restaurant. They previously worked with Jamhour at JJ’s Fish & Chicken in Dayton.

Cooking has always been a family activity for the Melhems. The siblings recalled their mom cooking homemade meals, but it was Ismail who was curious and enjoyed experiment­ing with sauces.

Everything is fresh and made-toorder, they said. The top seller are their wings, which are lightly battered and cooked to a perfect crisp.

Wings Fly opened nearly two weeks ago. The Melhems have enjoyed seeing people happy and satisfied with their food.

“We’re so thankful we were welcomed so quick by the community and neighborho­od,” Najah said.

The family also owns Prince Auto Sales & More, located at 4100 N. Dixie Drive in Dayton.

A grand opening celebratio­n is being planned soon. For more informatio­n, visit www.wingsfly.net.
