Wow! It was Fantastic! My first visit since good reviews. I'm happy to experience here. Healthy, authentic ingredients. Even chips are more than general. Fresh and crunchy. Fatthe with meat was great, fried eggplant, tomato sauce and garlic yogurt, garbanzo beans- so fresh and very enjoyable. I will definitely come back when I re-visit Michigan read more

Al Tayeb Restaurant - Spicy potato, Fatteh Laban, pita chips & Hummus - Middle Eastern Near Me - Garden City, Michigan

I had a delicious early dinner here yesterday before visiting my mom who is in the hospital up the road. The food was delicious! Sarah walked me through the menu and showed me some of the more popular items and how to eat them. The food! I ordered the Fatteh with meat and the spicy potatoes. It was just me and this was a lot of food. There was pita and assorted pickled veggies served as well. Every bite was like a flavor bomb. So good, so delicious. I loved the seasoning, spices, and texture. I would order these items again but next time I will have to try some new things. So many things to choose from. Service was great. Sarah was helpful since it was my first time here. She encouraged me to try some of their more popular items but also explained other options on the menu for now or next time. There is a good amount of seating. And everything was clean. As far as location goes, it's in a great spot right on Inkster Rd. Whether you're in the neighborhood, driving through, or coming from the hospital, this is an easy spot to get to with easy parking out front. Al Tayeb gives you a great taste of Lebanese food and flavors right in your backyard. I will come here again and bring friends. read more

Amazing breakfast spot--dare I say the best in Metro Detroit! The food is always fresh, portions are generous, prices are fair, and the service is consistently friendly. This place absolutely deserves its 5-star Yelp rating. The vegetables they bring at the start of every meal are always crisp and fresh, which sets the tone right away. Al Tayeb is the original Lebanese breakfast spot in the area, and it's no surprise others have followed after seeing their success. Keep it up, Al Tayeb! read more

Al Tayeb Restaurant - Middle Eastern Near Me - Garden City, Michigan

Incredible Lebanese food, I love that they prepare the typical Dearborn style Lebanese dishes with their own spin.

AlTayeb Restaurant 873 Inkster Rd, Garden City, MI 48135 This is hands down the most authentic Middle Eastern restaurant I have ever been to. You know it is real when you don't see gyro on their menu. Everything that we ordered was packed with flavor and yet comforting. 1. Foul: Stew of cooked fava beans served with olive oil, cumin, and optional veggies. 2. Spicy potatoes: It had everything in one bite: crispiness, spiciness, and packed with flavor! 3. Fresh Hummus. 4. Sesame Fried Cheese. 5. Eggs with Ground Meat. 6. Veggies. #Tonylameats #altayebrestaurant #middleeasternfood #gardencitymichigan read more

Al Tayeb Restaurant - Spicy Potato, Falafel, Hummus, ful, & Fatteh Tahini with Chunk Meat (in the middle) - Middle Eastern Near Me - Garden City, Michigan

I usually go to the Al Tayeb in Dearborn, but decided to try the original for once. The food at this location is every bit as good and as a bonus, the employees and service are way friendlier. Hummus with Ground Meat ($12.99) - I have been to restaurants all over Dearborn and adjacent and in my opinion, Al Tayeb has the best hummus of them all. This is the perfect mix of chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon, and spices. We normally just have the complimentary hummus (I believe they usually give a small normal hummus for free for certain order sizes), but decided to spice it up this time with the ground meat option - this adds spiced ground beef and an assortment of toasted nuts on top. It makes a great hummus even better! (5/5) Mosabaha ($10.49) - This was described by the server as "hummus on top of hummus on top of hummus" and I guess he wasn't really wrong. This was basically a runnier hummus mixed with extra garlic, mashed chickpeas, and lemon juice and topped with whole chickpeas. A strong fresh, aromatic lemon flavor dominates this dish, lending a nice contrast against the regular hummus. This dish is served warm. I prefer the normal hummus, but this was good too! (5/5) Spicy Potato ($8.99) - This was the only dish we thought was done less well at this location. While they were still good, the potatoes were missing the crispy edge and didn't have nearly enough of the spicy cilantro mixture placed on top. In fact, we had to add in quite a few shakes of ground red pepper provided at the table to get it to the correct spiciness. (4/5) Vegetables + Pita (Complimentary) - Fresh mint, pickles, onion, and tomato. Free regular pita bread. What's not to like? Really, I think the only thing that could be improved is if they had fresh baked pita for purchase. Note: As with a lot of Middle-Eastern restaurants around the area, the water is not free - you can only purchase bottled water. They don't mind if you bring your own water though. I highly recommend Al Tayeb. Go and eat anything; you won't be disappointed. read more

The place is packed every weekend until closing so expect a bit of a wait. The fatteh with meat, sujuk eggs, fried cheese, meat with onions and tomatoes, and falafel were all home runs, but the fool was just ok. read more

This restaurant gives major "mom and pop" type of vibes and those are my favorites! My husband and I were in Dearborn visiting a dear friend of ours and we always let her pick out our food itinerary because she knows all the best places, especially when it comes to Middle Eastern food! She brought us here on a Sunday morning for breakfast prior to us heading back to Chicago, and omg, everything was delicious! I wish I could tell you what we ordered but we had her pick everything out since she knows what's best. The service was fantastic as we were greeted and seated right away. Our server checked in on us from time to time to make sure everything was to our liking and we always appreciate great service nowadays. From our spread, the egg dish was definitely my favorite along with the potatoes. We also had tea to wash down all the deliciousness so overall, yes, I would definitely be back whenever I visit Dearborn again because it will never be the last. Everything was great and we couldn't have asked for anything better to end our short weekend trip to Dearborn! read more

Stopped by here for brunch today for the first time, and we had to make sure to try a bunch of items. Samer was wonderful in giving his recommendations. We were very impressed with everything and look forward to going back to try more items! 1. The chai was made perfectly. 2. The sesame fried cheese was delicious. Would definitely order again. 3. The labneh and zaatar hit the spot. 4. The fatteh with tahini was super yummy. 5. The ful Al Tayeb was also very good. 6. The hummus was so delicious, that we ordered one to go. Everything was fresh and you can taste the homemade goodness of it. Highly recommend! read more

When I'm about to try a restaurant with five stars my expectations are already sky rocketing. Well this place lived up to it. We were driving through Detroit and I wanted to touch the legendary Shatila bakery for some dessert but also wanted lunch near by.We yelped the near by places and this once caught my attention. Let's get started with the food. We ordered their famous spicy garlic potatoes which were delicious so so flavorful and crispy from outside-bite size and a great side. Next was the hummus with meat chunks-it was so so fresh-definitely the best I have had outside Middle East. We also ordered the falafels- they were as fresh as they can get, definitely a 10. Falafels come in 2 order sizes. Our server suggested a chickpea dish called Mshawasheh its cooked chick peas mixed with fresh garlic & lemon juice & tarator. It was really good but wasn't my favorite. The side salad in the pic was complimentary-it was so fresh and vegetables were crisp and loved the pickles in it. Overall every item we tried was delicious and super fresh. Every table has a bottle of olive oil so you can pour according to your liking. We came here on a late Sunday afternoon and it was packed-no spot to sit. The wait time was 15-20 mins and we were informed of our seating via text. Great friendly staff. Even though the place was full like a fish market their service was fantastic they kept checking on us and kept brining kaboos/Arabic pita. They do have outdoor seating but don't serve there-you can do a take out order and sit outside and eat. Lots of parking in front of the restaurant. Pricing is great. Great value for the money. They definitely are running a 5 star show. Kudos team. read more

This gem of a restaurant is an absolute delight for those craving authentic Egyptian breakfast cuisine.

TLDR : Reminds me of my Teta in Lebanon making me breakfast, each bite is better than the last Wow, where do I start... The service is top notch. Our waiter quickly seated us and was so attentive he brought things for us we were whispering about. No task was too small as he was proud to see our time spent here was similar to eating at his own house. The ambiance follows suit of being clean and organized. Perfect lighting and many windows for natural sunlight. I loved being able to see the sun shine across my plates and through the restaurant. The food was out of this world. All prepared fresh and brought to us quickly. In a matter of minutes food was brought to our table and was piping hot. To clarify, piping hot from the stove top, not the heat lamp. The vegetables that accompanied the dishes were all freshly cut and chilled but I have to point out the pickles. They are to die for on that veggie platter! The hummus, immaculate; the eggs with sujok, sensational; the fuul, WOW! This was my first time but I promise you, not my last! read more

I liked it so much I went back the next day (to the other location in Dearborn). The guy was great and helped me decide on a few things I would have never tired - like the potatoes. O. M. G. delicious. Also got a plain chicken breast - great! The hummus was creamy and the garlic was ultra garlicky. The foul came with mint which was a nice spin. Everything is hand made except the bread which comes from a bakery. But wowsa. Oh the falafel. OHHHHHHH. It had the crunch! They just opened for dinner (until 8pm) which is when I carried mine out. Great. read more

This is not the first time I go there whenever I visit family in Dearborn Heights! I always have good service and awesome food. Yesterday, for the first time I had not as good service " I understand waitress was by herself" however, I ordered a Feta with meat and ate there and ordered one Togo for my wife who was craving it. The one I ate there was very good as usual. We were very disappointed after opening the Togo one the next morning to find out it had no meat at all, and the portion was very small. I had more Feta from my leftover I ordered and had there then the one I had Togo I paid full price for two. read more

Also brought our food outside in rain. Will come again- We were traveling from Ohio read more

I meant to go to the Dearborn location, but accidentally chose this location. I'm happy that I did. Seating is a lot more intimate and it's a lot less busy than the one in Dearborn. Food, as expected, was excellent. I highly recommend coming with a lot of people so you can get several dishes. There's so much to choose from. With us being two people, we got 3 items. Everything was excellent. The eggs and sausage was divine. It tasted a lot like eggs with basterma. I need to come again and try more items. read more

Garden City is low on good restaurants, so I was super excited to find a fantastic place so close to home! This Leabanese food was unlike any I've ever had before. Loads of options and all were delicious. Our waitress Sara (I think that was her name) helped guide through the menu and gave us great recommendations on what to try. My favorite was the Fatteh Tahini with Ground Meat! We are definitely coming back especially for brunch. It's very casual, with a low key friendly neighborhood vibe but don't let that fool you. The food here was serious!! read more

Drove 4 hours for this place when we were in Michigan. We had the hummus with ground meat and cashews, the spicy potatoes, the harhoura meat with onions and jalepenos, which all came with a ton of warm, freshly made, steaming Pita. If you like spicy, you'll love the harhoura. It was a revelation, and I look for it constantly in NY,but I haven't found it yet. Seems like they're the ones to make it, and nobody else has even heard of it. The spicy Potatoes are scrumptious. Not very spicy for me, but plenty of spics for my husband. We loved every single bite. We even had a bunch of leftovers for breakfast the next day. I was sad to see the bottom of the container. But mighty happy to have chosen to eat here. The staff is super nice, and the portions are gigantic. I would go to Michigan just for this place. You can taste the freshness and quality and love in the food. Also, one of the cleanest bathrooms around. If you're in Michigan, this is a MUST TRY place. You're welcome. read more

Very authentic and traditional Lebanese brunch. I truly don't think you can go wrong when ordering here. And the service is the best- some of the nicest people you will meet! There's not much atmosphere and is a pretty small space but I do think it's a good idea to dine-in in order to capture the freshness of the dishes. Plus if you don't know what to order, they will help and suggest dishes you may like. I should add this was my first time having a Lebanese brunch but would definitely order the following again Between 5 people we had the Fatteh, fool, hummus, harhoura, scrambled eggs with sausage and spicy potatoes. We had so much leftovers! My favorite was the harhoura(meat with onion and green chili), fatteh and the spicy potatoes. I normally like to eat vegetarian but the way they prepared the meat in the dishes was to die for- very tender and well seasoned. Thank you, Al Tayeb for making me feel so welcome and a great first experience! read more

Went for breakfast early on a Saturday. This was my second time coming here. I'm from jersey and live near a heavily Arab area so I'm use to getting good Arabic food. The food was great, Probably better than jersey ()! I really don't know what else to say about it. If you looking for good Arabic food, def come here. We got there about 9:30am, by the time we left, it was getting a bit more packed. They gave us an appetizer to try on the house. Everyone loved the food and of course it's large portions so be prepared to eat! read more

Al Tayeb Restaurant - Breakfast - Middle Eastern Near Me - Garden City, Michigan

There is a reason why there 74 reviews with a 5 Star rating. This place chose what they were good at, and kept doing it. Breakfast! If you dont know, middle eastern breakfast uses a lot of beans. Fava beans, Chick peas, Hummus, tahini, are normal breakfast Items. It is a small, clean, family run place thats not in the normal Dearborn area. There isnt much room to eat in. GO THERE ANYWAY. Order To Go, it's plenty of food. We bought the Fatteh, the Fool, and the Spicy Potatoes. Fatteh is chick peas, in a yogurt/tahini sauce that you eat with crumbled fried pita chips. Fool is a mashed fava bean and chick pea mix. The potatoes had the best tasting green sauce ever! Perfectly cooked, crispy and soft all at the same time. The portions are great, the prices are great. Take it home, make a few eggs, and chow down. Its literally like eating grandmas breakfast. read more

I was blown away by Al Tayeb. The delicious food tasted just like what I grew up with. It seems like they focus on hummus and other chick pea related dishes, as well as foul and other fava bean related dishes. Everything was scrumptious. It was only me, but luckily work was paying, so I tried a bunch of stuff: - Foul w/ Tahini: Only fava beans and chick peas in this dish, probably with some spices. Served hot. I was blown away by the flavor. I have no idea how they managed to pull out so much flavor, but it was amazing. Robust and deep. Loved every bite. - Hummus w/ Meat: Hummus was creamy and flavorful. Perfect amount of garlic. Lamb was a little over-cooked, but that balance is hard to pull off. Really tasty. - Labneh w/ Zaatar: Traditional and basic, but flavorful and delicious. I don't know if they make their own labneh, but it was delicious. - Olives: Basic, traditional green olives. Great addition to the meal, although nothing different about them. Servings were also huge. Served with a plate of veggies and fresh mint. Just perfect. Each of the first three dishes listed above could have been a meal. Highly recommended! read more

AlTayeb's food and customer service is 10/10! The food is absolutely delicious! We ordered the falafel, labneh with zaatar, eggs with potatoes, and balila. Maher provided exceptional service, treating us like family and suggesting a couple other must-try items, including the hummus and mosabaha. Everything tasted so fresh and flavorful. It was also super affordable. We were visiting from out of town, but if we lived closer, we would easily eat there several times a week! read more

This place has a limited menu- a few things they really specialize in, and if you don't have a mom that makes a really good fatteh or spicy potatoes, then try this place. The labneh with zaatar was ok, the foul was ok & the hummus bi tahini was ok (even tho they pride themselves on this item). I wouldn't come back here as it was nothing extraordinary to me. I appreciate the service and the prices are great for the amount of food you get (you can share 1 bowl between 2 or 3 people.) I forgot to add the HOT SAUCE, which is the small green bowl in the pic. For me, it was the extraordinary....hot & sour! WINNER...I would go back for that! If you don't know anyone that makes either one of these tasty dishes, I'd try this place BUT go on a weekday morning. read more
