A good size spot inside. Staff are patient and nice here. Ordered a large Fattoush less pita, 3 chicken kafta skewers, large chicken Fattoush no pita, carrot apple and carrot and beet juice too. The juice is good, fresh, earthy and healthy. The salads both look crisp and are good. Nice dressing, light. There was one small salad butt in my husband's salad. The grilled chicken was a bad dry. The chicken kafta was moist. Asked for a side of garlic sauce since we didn't get any with our 3 kafta skewers, not a lot of garlic sauce in the dish, at least it's free. The salads were good, the chicken kafta is better on too than the grilled chicken for us. Food and service was all good here. read more

Salad and salad dressing are not the quality you could get from some other similar restaurants, but the crushed lentil soup is fantastic.

I only got a carry out for the Meat grape leaves and they were so yummy!! The guys working there were really nice. I have to come back to try more items. read more

We decided to try a different kabob restaurant. We typically go to one on Gratiot. The business was amazingly clean. The staff friendly. A busy little place!! The presentation of our combo for three was nice. The meat had a good flavor but was somewhat dry/overcooked. Specially the beef shawarma. Garlic sauce was amazing. Portions were okay. The Kafta are a little on the smaller side. read more

Alexander's Kabob Island - Combo for three, no rice with grilled veggies. - Mediterranean Near Me - Warren, Michigan

Carry-out of Fatoosh with chicken shawarma & feta and an appetizer of fried kibbie. Starting with the most delicious would be the Fried Kibbie. Fried to perfection, perfect size and flavor. Then we have the Fatoosh which brings us to the 3 stars. The chicken is SO SO DRY! Dressing are always different depending on recipe followed and this one is light with stronger hints of lemon and very little sumac. I love sumac so I wish there was more to give this salad a little more kick. The gentlemen that took my order was extremely nice and patient with all my back and forth while ordering. I would like to give them a try again when this pandemic lifts and we can eat inside with hopefully fresh, hot, moist and very flavored chicken shawarma! read more

the first time I ate here it was Really Good ! But that was after my aunts funeral so maybe My brain made that up as a result of trauma and shock. I revisited Alexander's kabob island recently and was dissatisfied. The food was dry and not much flavor . No sauces. Not much in the name of flavor going on . It was meh. Not really worth the trip back . read more

Great local Mediterranean place with amazing prices and fantastic food. Always delicious and fresh. We get take out quite often and recommend Kabob Island to anyone in the area! read more

First and last time ordering from here. I ordered a beef ghallabah and the meat was like shoe leather. So tough. I couldn't chew through it. And no sauce whatsoever. Dry and tough. My husband ordered lamb kabob and his lamb was dry like the desert. The lentil soup was watered down. so disappointing. I've never had such lousy Mediterranean food It's a shame that they don't take pride in their food. I wonder if they would eat meat like this? Never again. Never again. read more

I've only ordered from here once but I was highly impressed with the service and food. Ordering was a cinch; the ordering app was extremely easy to use and it took me mere minutes to place my order. The food was ready quickly and the cashier who rang me up was energetic, enthusiastic, and polite. My special requests were properly adhered to and my bag was adequately supplied with the condiments I requested, an ample amount of napkins, and plastic cutlery. Their three chicken sandwhich shwarma special for $10 is a real bargain for what you get. The sandwiches were stuffed full of chicken and just the right amount of sauce and pickles. Nothing but positives to convey about this establishment! read more

Not my favorite experience here. The drink was flat and the sandwich was not well put together. I hope it's a one off, I only ordered a sandwich. chicken shawarma is a staple lunch item for middle eastern restaurants. Very simple, chicken, garlic, pickles, and optional tomato. read more

New Owners and Staff, Same Great Food! Alexander's Kabob Island is a bit of a rebranding that has occurred over the last several months. The new owners have salvaged the restaurant from its former owner (back when it was just Alexander's) and have begun bringing the restaurant back to live and in a new direction. This time, the staff and managerial team are friendly, helpful, and efficient. The food they serve is still some of the best Arabic food in the area. The new menus still overs a slew of choices, from their crowd favorites like chicken shawarma, fattoush salad, kabobs, and sandwiches. There aren't many new options that offer up an exciting new menu for this new restaurant, but it's nice to see most of the old favorites still here. I'm still looking forward to them getting their beer and wine license, they are still worth the trip to. While the restaurant that has occupied this space at 13 Mile and Schoenherr Rd (be it Alexander's under its several owners, or the new Kabob Island) has always struggled finding its footing between the casual, easy going dinning experience that the lunch crowd and coupon crowd has come to expect, and their more upscale, fine dinning experience you can have in the evening. Alexander's Kabob Island, (slowly rebranding itself into just Kabob Island if you call them for carry out) is still a worth while visit for great Arabic food at a reasonable to down right dirt cheap at times price... but you just have to be okay with it's sometimes quite inferior and the traffic of 13 Mile. Always love coming here. Just want to see this place find its stride. read more

I ordered fattoush salad, hummus, and a four person platter. Everything was great, food was hot and salad was fresh. There was plenty of food enough for 6-7 people Thank you for everything read more

I've ordered from here before, but yesterday I tried some new items! They have some really good meat grape leaves; they're very flavorful and cooked perfectly. Their chicken lemon rice was delicious as well! The taboulie was dry and lacked flavor but it was super fresh and paired nicely with everything else. read more

I've never had the pleasure of eating food from here before, and I had no idea how much I was missing out. I didn't feel like cooking and we had planned on doing Mediterranean one night this week. My wife was on her way home, and I needed to pick something fast. I had seen Alexander's while driving by and decided to give them a shot. We ordered falafel, chicken shawarma, fattoush and baby bread. I called to place my order and the gentleman who took my call was very patient and pleasant. They had the option to pay over the phone, which was a nice treat. The gentleman let me know that it would be about 20 minutes. My wife was ahead of schedule, and our order was already prepared waiting for us. She picked up the food and headed home. As she was pulling in the driveway at home, the gentleman I spoke with before called me to let me know that we were missing the baby bread, and that it was still ready if we wanted to swing by. I hopped in the car and went to the restaurant, and the gentleman I was speaking with gave me the missing bread and offered us garlic to go with the bread, as well as drinks. I'm very glad I took him up on his offer for the garlic. The little mix up was no big deal to us, but he did everything possible to make it right, which was a welcome surprise. On to the food. I'll preface this by saying I've never had falafel but I've had more than my fair share of shawarma. We started with the falafel, which was still hot and smelled incredible. The texture was perfect, a pleasant crunch that gave way to a sweet herbaceousness. I'm normally a meat eater, but this falafel hit the spot. The tahini was mellow and coated the falafel so that the flavor was in every bite. It added a nice, garlic filled nuttiness to the falafel and made for an incredible first experience with this dish. Absolute A+ all around. The chicken shawarma was next. I won't dance around it, their shawarma blows away the competition. All the competition, and yes that includes Bucharest Grill. I used to take friends who visited there, but now I've got a new shawarma spot. The chicken was, tender, juicy, and seasoned to perfection. The garlic sauce was perfectly mixed in with the chicken, and didn't overpower the meat's flavor. The pickles and tomato rounded out the shawarma and made it nothing less than perfect. If you eat here, and you should, get a shawarma. You won't regret it. I didn't get to try the fattoush, my wife ate it before I could even try it. She said it was fresh, the dressing popped, and the fried pita had an excellent crunch. We both had the baby bread, and the garlic the gentleman was kind enough to include made for a perfect match. Overall 100% Grade A Experience. If you don't eat here, you're missing out. read more

Not sure if I caught them on an off day but food was far from "delicious". I ordered the Chicken Shawarma meal. Chicken was very dry, and it was such a small amount compared to other Mediterranean places I've visited. I had hoped to share the meal with my boyfriend and it was hardly satisfying for either of us. The garlic sauce I got on the side was very weak, basically no taste. I'll make the drive to places I know and love next time like La Saj, or Grape Leaves. read more

Had dinner here a few weeks ago. The place is super clean, the service was fast and friendly. The food was awesome! We will for sure be back for more. read more

Food was average, price was 14-15 per dinner, 9-10 for lunch, good portion sizes, service was good.

My daughter was craving stuffed grape leaves so we decided to give Kabob Island a try. We were definitely happy that we did. Great prices, great food, and fast friendly service. We will definitely be going back! read more

The slowest, worst Mediterranean food I've ever had. Ordered carry out was told 20 minutes, took 42 minutes must be so they could dry the chicken out, it was so flat and dry like frozen Kroger brand chicken breast. This place was a mess too when I picked up there is so many papers and junk strewn across the bar area. Big disappointment read more

If you stopped going to Alexanders due to the bad service and horrible food, you can return!!! The new owners as of January 2019 have gone back to great service and delicious food for a really good price. I had the beef kafta, rice with red sauce, fattoush salad and the (yum) garlic sauce with pita. Quality food at amazing prices. Give it another chance, under this ownership, I think you'll be very happy read more

Very good Mediterranean food from Shawarma to fattoush to chicken cream chop to salmon Kabab with Bourbon sauce!
