The food was amazing the drinks were refreshing, HIGHLY RECOMMEND! (Dorin, the manager is the best)
Rude. Both girls at the register. Rude and terrible attitude. No social skills and don't know how to talk to a customer.
I looked at the area where they cook. Nasty floor and has a very nasty order. Made me want to puke.
I would not suggest you go there. I will never go there again. I threw the plate away...

My first time at this location and my last. I should’ve went to my favorite one on Columbia like I always do but I literally live walking distance and wanted to see if they’re good and see if I can support this location but nah I’ll stick with the other one. This location is nasty, junky, got bland chicken etc. Just a bunch of young people running this location with nasty attitudes. One of the girls handed me my order (a small bag with just a C.Shawarma), I said to her this not my order, she looked at the name and said yea this you I said no, where are my fries, extra garlic, and ranch? She said ohhh I see, let me get it.
That wasn’t the problem since she did correct it but the main problem is the food, it does not taste good at all. It was mad cold and bland, I picked it up on time I live 3 minutes away.
I’m obsessed with Bucharest, I eat it about 2-4 times a month. This location is just a no for me.

Good sized Lamb Shwarma sandwich, served quickly and hot but I didn't care for the flavor of the Lamb. I'll try chicken next time.
Best PITA joint in Detroit! Been going there since they opened,nothing has changed. I like this location because it is close to HenryFord Hospital and most of our specialists are there. You can actually dine in here,.perched upon a bar stool made of wood and iron, as for the atmosphere, you are dining where everyone comes in and out. It is in a warehouse district and many police officers will be joining you,so you can feel relatively safe while dining in the middle of the neighborhood with Detroit's finest!
I love Shawarma's in general, but this is hands-down the best shawarma I've ever eaten. I got the Lamb shawarma with a side of hummus and Pita... The shawarma sandwich was legendary. I highly recommend
Wow! So many options! A lot of food for a great price!
Authentic flavors and nice atmosphere! Lots of seating. No wait. Food was fast and DELICIOUS. Wood fire stove is a nice touch!🤌🏻
We had lots of vegetarian options too! Definitely don’t skip the baklava! 🤤

I stopped in on a quiet Saturday for the first time today. Their service was quick and very pleasant. The individual with me forgot his card at the counter and the owner even came looking for him.
Very kind individuals, definitely recommend.

Its a little pricey, but wow, they give you a ton of food. I got the shish combo...chicken kabob, beef kabob and a kaftan. It came with warm Naan bread and a huge salad.
I didn't try the kafta...yet, it was too much food, but the kabobs were amazing, as was the Naan bread with the garlic spread!

Amazing food! On my last trip I ordered the Detroit Chicken Sandwich and it was amazing! Also, note about the staff. They are amazing! I had a large to-go order and the staff working behind the counter were nothing but accommodating with my requests, they even took the time to find a box to put everything in.
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.
Food was fresh and clean. But it lacked a lot of flavor compared to what i’m used to. I ordered a salad and the portion was huge so i was happy about that. Their white and red sauce could use some work. it was it chalky.
I also ordered a gyro rice bowl. it was incredibly delicious and filling. It was the satisfying and nutritious meal that i was looking for.
Place was clean, but hot inside.

Called in to do a carry no one answer the it for at 20 mins. I still drove to restaurant line was out the.door .if they would answer the and take a order like they normally do it wouldn't be so crowded. I did stay to order. Because the parking lot had barrier cades in parking lot so u couldn't drive thru. It was a concert at Aretha Franklin Park. To the so called lot was charging $20.00 to park. I won't be coming back here it was a mess . Management make sure your employees answer the phone .should at least answer the phone for take out 630 pm in the evening on a Saturday night. Like u do the other nights
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 :]
The Food is Amazing 🤩. A must visit for lunch or dinner. The service was great & authentic music 🎶. I for sure will be back.
Wonderful food & service. Ordered a party tray for a few friends and everyone was happy with the quality of food. Will be ordering again.
Delicious food & excellent price. The garlic butter with spices is soooo yummy
There was only one man in the restaurant and he still did a great job! I got the chicken Shawarma sandwich, which is my favorite!
Exactly what I would expect, the best food comes from the ones you least expect. Outwardly not the most appealing looking or fanciest location, But excellent food. Salmon salad was delicious and cooked to perfection. Chicken shawarma was a great choice also!
Second time in a row with BURNT chicken breast on my salad and it has happened before. Is it that hard to grill a chicken breast so that you can cut it with a knife and it's edible? I wish I could include a photo here...
The food is absolutely the most delicious I've ever had, the staff was friendly and helpful and the restaurant is beautiful I personally give them 5 stars all the way
Everything was perfectly cooked and seasoned, customer service was on point. 60$ for a party of 2 was kinda expensive for rice a roni. Would like to have long grain brown rice for the price but overall, the food agreed w/my stomach and ii may return.
I got a caesar salad it was amazing. Normally I throw away the tomatoes when I get a salad from a restaurant, not here though everything was so fresh. Definitely would recommend
Chicken Shawarma was cold and not twisted together, very sloppy and no care in how it was prepared. Employees standing around TALKING. Where was Management!!!!.
I came here with a group of 5 in the middle of a Tuesday. The staff is incredibly welcoming, and all of the food is so hot and fresh! Absolutely delicious. I can't wait to come back here.
Came here for lunch and got it to go after seeing a good review on tiktok. I was a bit dissaplinted in the rice, it had a good taste but was wayyy too mushy. I have not had such mushy/water rice in my life, on top of that they filled 60% of the bowl with rice. The chicken was good, but the portions were very minimal. The hummus had a good taste, but was very watery. Overall, this place is a 3/5, but the service was great. I’m sure I came on a bad day, because I know the rice can be better and that portions or chicken can be better.
I love their food, but the young women at the front of the shop are always rude. Every single time I’ve come here I’ve been met with attitude, eye rolling, and not a smile in sight. If you want to hate your job so bad, go work in a prison. It’s not hard to smile. It’s not hard to be polite or have common courtesy when a paying customer is asking a question. Apparently the management does not care, as you can see by the dozens and dozens of reviews regarding this issue. They forgot my salad dressing, too.
Hands down the best lamb chops!! They are always cooked to perfection. Juicy and medium well! I frequent here often and always enjoy the food. I do carry outs and have hosted a few lunch meetings in the dining area. I love sipping their fresh juices or tea while I wait for my food. The staff is always friendly and I am always excited to come back.
So glad I ran into this place, will be back again tomorrow. It was so delicious. The chicken shawarma was seasoned just right and cooked to perfection served tons of salad, crisp veggies, and a tangy oil vinaigrette that tasted amazing . Absolutely found the garlic spread and pita the best pair to ever exist. This place was so good, will be back when visiting again.
Disappointed! Ughh I been wanting to check out this place for a while. I ordered the falafel rice bowl but it looked like a falafel soup. For your reference I will attach the picture of what I was thought I was getting vs what I got.
Cons:
-too much tahini it hides all of the veggies. How can I taste the rest went everything is drowning in Tahini.
-hummus as well as garlic sauce were runny. Can’t even tell you what they tasted like.
- can’t even tell you the taste of the falafel either as the sauce covered them
Pros:
- huge portion
-falafel still crunchy after all of that sauce (hence the only reason I gave it two stars)

Excellent! I had the Falafel Rice Bowl and it was made fresh to order. Absolutely delicious. And I had enough to take some with me for a snack the next day. The place is very clean; the service respectful; and a fair price. Located downtown, a few blocks walk from where I was staying at the Fort Ponchartrain Hotel. I searched Google for “salad” I believe and thankfully this place appeared. I highly recommend it.
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!
First time eating at that place, it's a fast food kind of place but for shawarmas. A whole bunch of teenagers working there who wrap your food quickly but carelessly, lamb shawarma was bland and tasteless. They would wrap everything even if you want to sit there and eat. Hand written signs every where to pay for your sides first ??? 🥙
(Also the parking lot in the front was broken and Bathroom were very dirty and smelly.)

Everything is smaller and the shawarma was cold from the cabbage. Hardly any garlic sauce on it too. Stop expanding and put the focus back on quality.
Today April 16th 2023 I ordered a Salad with chicken on the side and it was hair in it long hair I don’t have time to go back but it just need to be addressed
I ordered jumbo shrimp 7for 12.99 and he bring me some coconut butterfly shrimp if I was allergic it would have been worse because it’s not mentioned on the menu nu. When u told him I had the wrong shrimp he said that’s the only shrimp they have. Besides that everything was dirty , I won’t be going back. Over priced as well
Awesome space without all the pretentiousness. The vibe seems very friendly and food is fresh.
I ordered the Chicken Sandwich. It was cooked very well. But it didnt much seasoning but I can tell that it's on purpose. Next I'll have the Chicken Salad, which my friend ordered. It looks delicious

One of the best places in town to grab a chicken shawarma. Marinated in their blend and cooked to perfection, this is the go to for Mediterranean on the go.
Servers are typically fast and friendly however, there is one that deserves special mention here. Her name is Kayla. She greets you at the register with a big, friendly smile, is patient with you and very personable. She gets 6 stars for her customer service skills.
They have a few locations but this one on E. Jefferson and the one on Woodward Ave in Royal Oak are the best.
Also the desserts are homemade and delicious. Treat yourself and stop in sometime

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.

I found here by searching on Google and it did satisfy me! We love it and we definitely go back again when we’re visiting Detroit again.
Fresh baked bread was the best.
Kind staff.
Delicious food.
And the most important part, big dish with good prices.
Highly recommended.

Very, very good! Husband and I came for a quick dinner before a concert. Food was filling and had tons of fresh flavors/ingredients. Husband got the shawarma supreme and he really enjoyed it. I got the rice bowl with chicken. The rice bowl is a ton of food! I got two meals out of it. My only complaint with the rice bowl was the chicken to rice ratio. I feel like it was a quarter cup of chicken and two cups of rice. But, the flavors were absolutely great!
I can have unlimited amount of the freshly baked pita and hummus, it is delicious….
I personally did not like the lamb soup ,tasted like some curry….
The lamb chops are on point, perfectly cooked and the fries were good too
From the mixed platter - we loved the beef kebabs but Avoid the chicken, it is too dry and bland…

First time for us. I was impressed with the employees. They were very busy and were a well oiled machine! Every employee with spoke with was friendly! The food was awesome! We were told the chicken Shawarma was good. It was great! We also had lamb hummus and it was terrific! Glad we stopped!
The restaurant looks pretty nice from outside and the inside needs the holiday decor down. Food came out fresh and fast. Bread was cooked a little hard but garlic made up for. The staff were pleasant and inviting. A Lil pricey however it is too be expected. Shish kafta was a little spicier than I've had at other places, chicken vegetable soup was very flavorful. This place is nice for a date or a family meal.
Ordered off their website, I called the order in. 2 chicken shawarma combo sandwiches with fries, 1 fattoush salad with chicken. Picked up order it was $38.00 I asked how that could be your website says combo sandwiches $8.99 salad $10.99. Well asked what the the difference was for, he stated we raised our prices I just haven’t gotten around to updating the web page yet combos are now $10.99 each and salad is now $13.99. I asked him don’t you think that is something you should do right away, of course no answer just a look. Opened salad and this is all the bad lettuce and lettuce cores, this is in no way a salad that should cost $13.99. Well needless to say we will not be going back there.
Very good fast Shawarma place
The food and service quality has been going downhill while prices are going up but still one of my favorite place in the area.
Sometimes it’s worth driving to downtown for a shawarma
They have multiple locations in the area close to the Ford stadium so a quick descent eat is never far

May not look like much but the food is excellent! Huge portions for a very reasonable price. The owner was there and he was welcoming and happy to help with the unfamiliar menu items. Although we dined in, it is probably a great place for takeout.
