I just took my son here for dinner. We were seated promptly and that was it. There were only 3 other tables at 8:00. I counted 4 waitresses that were either standing around or holding a long conversation with another table. A waitress brought out the food for the booth next to us. She never acknowledged our presence to say she would be right over, or sorry for the delay. She went to get the other table more bread. I decided to leave and let the 3 waitresses behind the e bar know why. I asked for a manager but they looked at me like an alien. This is not the first time this has happened here. It is a shame because the food is really good. I will never be back and will let everyone know why. read more

They're just ok. If you're in the area and want great Mediterranean food, go to La Marsa on grand river and drake (less than 10 min away) and you won't be disappointed. They do serve liquor at 2booli so if that's a deal breaker, La Marsa is out for you. Ideally you're going for the food though ;-) read more

Aftrr miserable experience at Italian restaurant 2 doors down, we stopped ool into 2bolli. What a game changer. We were greeted by the best waiter anywhere - Stacy. Warm, wonderful service and beautiful, delicious food. No dried up shawarma here. Everything we tried was so flavorful and fresh. Warm site made pita reminded me of La Shish in its heyday. We live 70 miles away but it is worth the trip. Can't say enough good things about Stacy. He made everthing better. Lamb and chicken kebobs were tender and juicy and obviously marinated to achieve a depth of flavor. The baba ganoush was the best ever. So smoky and smooth. The garlic sauce- usually thickened with potato- was 100 x better than I've had before. Hate driving in Detroit suburbs but this is an experience (service and food) that can't be missed. read more

General Manager, Alvin Yaldo, provided excellent service and was very accommodating during my visit. The food was tasty and so were the drinks. I always get the lemon oregano chicken and fattoosh salad. Yummy! read more

My wife and I orders the Maza2 appetizer ! Wow huge. The pita bread w garlic. Fresh and hot. Ordered lunch entries , chix, so much food we took leftovers home!!! Shady, our waiter was friendly, prompt and knowledgeable Its a must place to eat for quality food quantity and value read more

Sad experience. I chose this place over others that showed on my search of "mediterranean cuisine" because they listed themselves as Lebanese specific. The meat was great. I was expecting better Fatoosh but it was quite dry and had to ask for more dressing. The wait was a negative. About 25 minutes for a 1 person plate of meat, chicken, and rice. Servers were very polite which was a plus. The rice came out hard as a rock as if it wasn't cooked correctly. That was the killer for me on top of waiting for what I thought was going to be a great dish. Looking for a drink, come here. Looking for good food, sadly I do not recommend it. Price was way way over what it deserved. But I kept my calm and wanted to get the heck outa there. read more

My family loves to come to 2Booli. We have celebrated our May birthdays there a few years in a row. The staple fresh soft bread, garlic paste and hummus are always perfect. We love the classics- grape leaves, kibbeh, shawarma, lentil soup. Everything is good! This visit was extra enjoyable thanks to our amazing server Stacey. He just kills it! Charming, quick, and will read your mind. We already loved this place but Stacey just made us want to come back all the time! Thanks for making our birthday dinner so enjoyable :) read more

The food is good when you finally get it. Service is terrible and extremely slow. Waited 10 minutes for someone to even acknowledge us after I asked who our waiter was. Hostess brought bread then it was another 15 minutes before they took our drink order . They weren't even busy.....won't be back. read more

This is my favorite lunch spot! A must do for fresh food and excellent service. Plenty of seats and quick in a rush.

I come to 2booli at least once a week because it's near my work and let me tell you, they have such a friendly atmosphere. The falafel sandwich is the best I've had from a Mediterranean restaurant. Chris, who usually serves me, is the textbook definition of customer service (Stacey is great too). Alvin, one of the managers, always greets his customers kindly and makes sure to provide the utmost accommodations. read more

Came here for a family dinner as per a recommendation from a family member's coworker. Well...it was pretty basic in my opinion to say the least. Other than the garlic spread and hummus it isn't much I would write home about. My husband and I both had a lamb pita and it was okay. I ordered medium well and it came to me pretty much well done. Barely any pink at all. Some pieces were completely cooked. However, I will say I did not return it to the kitchen because I just was so hungry I didn't want to deal with waiting for my food again. Our server was really nice his name was Stacey and he really took care of us well. Other than that I found this place to be relatively average. read more

Good for lunch, but good luck for dinner! No staff working on a Friday night. Buh bye...

Excellent service and food. The staff are very professional and care about their customers. Last week during my lunch hour from work my food didn't arrive until about a half hour after ordering. The staff realized this and covered my lunch bill in full. More businesses should take a page from 2Booli. read more

My boyfriend is an extremely picky eater, so when I visited him and he suggested a restaurant called 2booli, I was surprised. The decor is really fun and there are quotes on the wall and every 'to' is replaced with 2's. We met his friend there and tried some of their special cocktails, which were good. We ordered a dinner platter that had samples of chicken, steak, veggies, rice, beef wrapped in grape leaves, and shawarma. It was all delicious. His friend had an awesome soup that I ended up taking home because she forgot she didn't like soup. Oh, the pita bread is fantastic too. read more

I was going to the 2Booli 1 - 2 times a week for lunch. Loved their Fattoush salad. When I would call to place my carry out order, a wonderful lady named Olga would always answer and take my order. Olga got promoted to manager and a new lady started taking orders on the phone. One day I called and I was placed on hold for 20 minutes. After the first 5 minutes on hold, I went to the 2Booli website and ordered online. Still on hold, I drove to 2Booli from my job, which is a few minutes away. I walked into 2Booli, still on hold and told them I am here for a online pick up. While I was still on hold with them, the new girl picked up the phone and answered another call and put them on hold. She told me the person on the phone could wait because she is too busy to take over the phone orders and then I hung up my phone. While this young lady was getting my bread, she quickly removed the sweat from her nose and head with her hand and open the bread bag, by putting her sweaty hand in the bag. I told her never mind for the bread and left the restaurant. I came back again about a week later, just to try them again and my online order wasn't ready until 45 minutes after I ordered it online. Order again a couple of weeks later (over the phone) I was told my order would be ready in 15 minutes, I arrived in 20 and still had to wait 15 minutes. And the folks at the bar, was running around like a chicken with their head cut off. No type of order going on at the bar or in the kitchen (bread wasn't made or garlic sauce in containers were made). While leaving I asked what day does Olga work so I can stop by and say hello when she is working. I was told Olga does not work here any more. And that gave me the answer to my question of why the service is HORRIBLE NOW. You guys need Olga back ASAP. I am sure other regular customers, notice the difference in service. read more

Had lunch here today. We had a hard time deciding because it all looked so good and, indeed, everything was delicious! At our table we shared baba ganoush- very smoky and yummy- a lamb pita (pickled turnips on the side, but they were yummy), Caesar chicken wrap, and chicken ghallaba. We enjoyed the outdoor seating, too - we always like to find that when the weather is so nice. I did take a look inside, though, and it's trendy and cool inside - nice casual atmosphere. Definitely want to return next time I am in town! read more

I really miss La Shish. 2booli is located in a former La Shish restaurant and looks great, but can't hold a candle to the previous tenant. The menu was surprisingly limited and really dependant on too many hummus dishes. My favorite dish, the deboned chicken, was priced at $16.49 for a half a chicken with pita bread and soup or salad. A bit pricey for what I'm used to paying in Dearborn eateries. I can go 3 stars, but I probably won't be back. read more

We have been there frequently with colleagues from work! Never been disappointed. As starter we take always freshly baked pita breads with hummus! Delicious!! Alternate dip: garlic Main: diverse wrap options vegetarian, chicken and beef filling. very good read more

The food is pretty normal Americanized Mediterranean that you find in most restaurants in the suburbs. I've had the dinner combo for two which contained SO much food as well as the sandwiches, which were a lot smaller than anticipated. The staff at this location is super helpful and friendly. We came in one night close to closing time and we were still able to order food and then serviced at the bar while we waited. They even gave us a generous amount of the garlic sauce and pita bread. read more

This place is delicious! I've eaten-in and ordered carry out and every time it's been great. I specifically love the appetizer sampler with tabouli, hummus and babaganoush! Very cute inside too! read more

So disappointed with quality and quantity of food...they pale in comparison to the restaurant they replaced.

Took FOREVER to get our food. The food is decent I guess, just typical Americanized Mediterranean food. Don't understand the hype.

After some stressful shopping the wife and I decided to try something new. Out of the blue we turned into the shopping center and noticed this restaurant. Decided to go inside and have a look at the menu. Neither of us had really had Mediterranean food before, but decided to try it. Started with the Appetizer Trio. Wow, such great fresh flavor! Then we decided to order the Combo Platter for 2. We wanted to order something that really gave us a variety of the food's and tastes they offered. The combo platter was a great choice! The food was amazing! The service was great ! The beef kabobs were awesome! I cannot wait to go back. If your thinking about stopping by, do it ! you won't be sorry! read more

The best middle eastern restaurant in the area. Mmmm pitttaa. I usually get the tawook pita and grape leaves.

I attended 2Boiling for the first time with a couple of colleagues today. It is easily the best Middle-eastern food in the area.

Absolutely horrible service for a take out. I waited 8 minutes on hold hung up and called back just to be asked to wait on hold for "2 secs". If your that busy set the right expectation. read more

First visit very impressed Homous very good.chicken schwarma husband said best ever my shifkata was also good a little dispointed they did not lamb Will be back read more

This is my favorite Mediterranean restaurant in the area. The garlic and bread is amazing and I highly recommend the lemon oregano chicken for an entree. The margaritas are great too :) definitely a must try! read more

Have lunch at 2Booli about once a month. Typically it's pretty busy but never wait to be greeted. Great food, great service, great fresh pita. Highly recommend! read more

We just moved back to the Detroit area after 5 years out east and the first cuisine my wife wanted to eat was Mediterranean. Since 2Booli was on the way home we ordered carry out. All-in-all the food was above average. I really enjoyed the crushed lentil soup, it was much creamier than most I've tried and when using the pita as a dipping accompaniment, it was out of this world great. I was encouraged to order the Lemon Oregano Chicken - which consisted of cubed chicken served over rice in sauce. With a pinch less of salt, I'd give it a run against any chicken dish I've eaten. My only real gripe would have to be the smoothies. I wouldn't recommend them - simply too much ice and not enough fruit. We actually poured a little bit of OJ and honey in them when we came home and that helped them considerably. I'll be a frequent diner at 2Booli and can't wait for my next dinner! read more

2booli is consistently good food. The shawarma sandwiches are great, entrees are good and the bread is always warm and fresh. The only reason for 3 stars instead of 4 is the service. It is rather slow and inconsistent. Otherwise it is a great place to eat with yummy dishes! Always a go to for my family as we life very close. read more

I really wanted to give this place more stars but I just can't. First of all the wait and bar staff all deserve 5 stars. Very friendly and prompt. But the food is something to be desired for. I ordered the lamb kabobs and asked for rare/medium rare. I only found one piece of meat that was slightly pink and there was way too much gristle for the cost of the meat. I ended up not finishing all of my rice so I took it home for a snack later. When eating the rice later in the evening I found a piece of plastic, almost like a piece of plastic bag that fell into the pot of rice pilaf. The management should really take a closer look at the quality of their so called chefs. Again, the only reason I didn't give this place 1 star is because their staff is really good. read more

Friendly service, fresh food. We had the combo player for two and enjoyed all of the selections (and had a full meal left over).

Huge fan of the f there shawarma. The grilled vegetables are fresh and the bread is always fresh. I brought my family here and it was a little packed so it longer then normal. I would come here more if it was closer to home. read more

Dining at 2bouli was one of the best restaurants experiences that I've had. The restaurant is a strip mall so the warm and inviting decor was unexpected. The food was divine. I had chicken kafta with rice pilaf, and chili. The garlic sauce that accompanied the meal was delicious and I couldn't get enough of it. Our server, Sam D. recommended that I pair the chili with the garlic sauce. It was great! The bread was warm and light unlike the bread that I've been served at other Middle Eastern restaurants. I can't say enough about our server, Sam D. - he was attentive and very friendly, making the dining experience top notch. I've dined at 5 star restaurants that don't compare to Sam D.'s service. I look forward to my next visit- I just wished I lived closer because I would definitely be a regular at 2bouli! read more

2Booli is one of my husband's and my favorites. We go there frequently and now have a favorite waiter - John. He is the best! Everything is so fresh and flavorful. If you are a fan of Lebanese food I don't think you can get much better than this. My biggest concern is at times they are not that busy, which scares me. I've found a favorite place and do not want to see them fail - please give it a try. You will NOT be disappointed. read more

Great Middle eastern restaurant in the Greater Detroit area. The service during lunch hours can be a bit slow but the food more than makes up for it. I loved their hummus preparation. They have generous portion sizes so you'll always feel content after every meal. read more

Delicious food! They are my favorite place for shawarma, not sure why they're never busy. They are a tad on the pricey side but nothing too outrageous. And they do have a full bar! read more

We often stopped at La Shish on the way out to hockey games, so it was only a matter of time before we stopped by 2booli...and we're glad we did. The wide-open space and sleek modern decor was a nice change from the old space when it was La Shish, which pretty much consisted of two long, narrow dining areas. First impressions are always important, and the piping hot bread out of the brick oven was a good start...but our fattoush side salads sealed the deal with crispy lettuce and cucumbers, chunks of onion, radish, tomato and crunchy pita bits, accompanied by a spicy dressing and served on chilled plates. The chilled plates may be a small touch as my dining companion said, but they really served to accentuate the freshness of the ingredients. The menu, as others have pointed out, is a bit more ecumenical when it comes to the "Mediterranean" in their tagline. I'd originally gone in with the idea of having my usual shish tawook-type meal, but the server sold me on the talapia special--baked fish with a tahini-based sauce, accompanied by rice pilaf and a few roast veggies. The fish was tender and moist, and the sauce was tasty, but not overly spicy. Great choice. My dining companion had a lamb shish kabob dish, and he found his lamb exceptionally tender. Not at all like the tough, grizzled pieces you sometimes get in such dishes elsewhere. I had a bite of the lamb and agreed with his assessment. I opted for a banana-berry smoothie-their only variety-but like most Mediterranean restaurants, it was made with fresh fruit. Our server was friendly, attentive and informative--able to answer all of my questions about ingredients and to suggest menu items that we might like. We'll definitely be back. read more

Had the crushed lentil soup and fatoosh salad with bread and hummus. Bread: hard and stale Soup: puréed to death with no texture Salad: filled with burnt stale fried pita Hummus: very good Service: good- no complaints read more
