    Ordered food online. Prices were a lil expensive if ask me. Chicken Almond Ghallaba, Sautéed Chicken and Sautéed Lamb Dinners w/ Veggies. Each dish looked delicious fresh and yummy. All of the dishes were not as good as it looked and smelled. No taste whatsoever. I love small places like this one with a lot of 5star reviews. Unfortunately, I can't.

    Looking for great Mediterranean food in Detroit? This is THE PLACE! The service is fast if you order ahead. There are vegan options. The salmon is moist and very flavorful. The meat dishes aren't dry or burnt. You won't be disappointed.

    Great VEGAN options! I had the falafel - great flavor! Friendly staff. Free parking on side street. Near Riverside park which has an excellent skate park. Also picnic area, sand area and boat launch.

    I ordered the lamb shawarama fatoosh and a cobra drink with no radish and both were amazing. The service was quick, kind, and patient with me since I added to my order multiple times. I also ordered a shishkabob lunch combo and a meat shawarama lunch combo and a potassium borth, so delicious. 10/10 would recommend for a quick, yummy and inexpensive lunch + drinky drink. If you end up going because of this review, tell them Alia Seblini sent you and maybe it'll generate enough business that my next cobra will be on the house ;] also their toom is sooo good, also also they're halal :]

    I’m genuinely confused. I waited far too long for a kufta “meal” thinking at least it’ll be delicious food bc the reviews are good. To get back one piece of meat that’s burned on one side. I opened my meal too stunned to speak. Was not even edible. I ended up going halves with my 1 year olds French fries.

    Absolutely amazing! What a surprise! The vegetarian grapes leaves were superb and the hummus and baba ghanouj are fantastic. The garlic spread is the best I’ve had!

    I ordered a chicken shawarma salad and it was basically just a regular garden salad with chicken. Ingredients were very sparse. Chicken wasn't really that flavorful, I'd say save your time and go to Bucharest grill.

    Great place for Middle Eastern food. Ww ordered falafel and hummus, lamb chili, and chicken shawarma. They all were very good. There isn't much seating in there and not quite the song for dining in but the price of is reasonable and the foods we ordered were very good. This is a great place for a quick grab and go lunch.

  • 4/5 Tammany H. 1 year ago on Google
    Recommended: The atmosphere of the place comes across as shabby and dingy, but the food and customer service make up for it. The restaurant itself is not terribly clean. The food was excellent. Our food was so fresh that we could not eat it, because it was so hot. We had chicken shawarma with fries and rice. It fed two full grown adults. Our 9 yr old son ordered chicken tenders and rice, which lasted him two meals, plus he snacked on the leftover pita bread for two meals. We saw a man come in asking to use the microwave for his burger and the bathroom. The staff were seemingly very friendly and did accommodate him.

    One if, if not the best Mediterranean food spot. Definitely top 3 and it's not 3 👌 workers are very friendly and understanding. Happy workers means good food. not only is the lamb delicious so is their mango smoothie. Their mango smoothie is my favorite smoothie of all time tied with boostan cafes' mango smoothie. It will make you not want to try other smoothies

    A nice little nook in the hood of Detroit. i was expecting to get some halal style cart food, but the food was plain and dry, but healthy and clean. it was not the saucy, greasy halal food that you might await. prices were a little higher than i expected. the food leaned more mediterranean.

    [Parking] There's plenty of on street parking in the area. Not hard to find a free spot. [Accessibility] The front door isn't automatic, but it is barrier free. [Food] Delicious Middle Eastern food. And they have amazing fries! [Service] Very generous and friendly service from everyone. [Atmosphere] It was quiet and calm when we were there.

  • 1/5 Kelli K. 1 year ago on Google
    They tried to charge me $11 for a chicken shawarma with no bread because I'm allergic to gluten then when I questioned him about it he said he just rung me up as a salad when the very first thing I said was "I'm being very specific right now, do not give me a salad, I want a chicken shawarma and I'm allergic to bread but that doesn't mean I wanna eat salad all the time" and then still did it. When I told him I don't want a salad, I want pickles, and garlic, and everything a shawarma has... he told me to order somewhere else. I literally gave so much explanation, a chicken shawarma with everything on the side, a shawarma in a box, whatever you need to do to not give me bread. But not salad. How hard is that to ask?

    Gyro plate was terrible, the meat was thick and chewy and had 0 flavor!! Lamb chili was not bad but very gamey.

  • 3/5 Kamille “Kamille The Food Queen” T. 1 year ago on Google
    Food is good, however, cleanliness needs to be better. The bathroom looked like a horror movie. The soap was empty and the faucet was not working. The cashier let me wash my hands in the kitchen sink and that area looked like it needed a good deep cleaning. Also, they ran out of napkins, stras and a few other basic items

  • 4/5 Lovely E. 5 months ago on Google
    First time visiting. Food cooked to order. Portions are adequate in comparison to the price. Ordered the bone chicken and lamb chops. Both were well seasoned.

  • 2/5 James E. Moorer, J. 2 years ago on Google
    The point of a call in order is you NOT WAITING on your food. You shouldn't have to wait for your food after the call in order. I experience this about four or five times. Today I had to wait for my sandwich after the told me 15 minutes. I gave them 25 because I don't want to wait. I had to wait anyway. When you you go in, there's no sense of urgency in the employees. The food is great but they are very slow in making the food. Something has to change. I'm about ready to stop giving my hard earned money to this place.
