I went in by myself earlier today and the staff was quite dismissive of me. The beef shawarma was pretty solid but I got a takeout large hummus and I've never seen a smaller portion than when ordering a small. Pretty disappointing overall. read more

The service here was good and quick. There was indoor seating available though I did carry out two days in a row. We ordered Mojuadara, which I've never had before and it was so delicious. The lentils were seasoned well and we received a hearty portion. It lasted me 3 meals. We got a side of fattoush salad, which was also really good. The next day, we ordered the large fattoush salad, and it was a little too oily and sour compared to the night before. We also ordered the Musaka with onions and this was my least favorite. The eggplant was too oily and the dish was lacking flavor. However the almond rice that came with it was really good. We also got lentil soup that came as a side that was good. We ordered side of cabbage salad and it was similar to the fattoush salad but less sour. Finally, we ordered the chicken shawarma and the shish ta wool sandwiches. They were also good. Overall, the food was good and I'd come back. read more

The service was amazing! Mohammad was so attentive to our needs. Every time he came to the table he had a big smile on his face, which made us smile every time. The food was delicious and you got a lot of food for your money. You don't see that at other restaurants, so thank you for that! The dining area was very clean and inviting. We will be back for sure! read more

Ordered a chicken kabob as carry out. The chicken looked burnt and was very dry. The lentil soup tasted odd so I didn't eat it. The bread is not made on site like one of their competitors. I had to wait twice as long as they said. They were more focused on the people who had large orders. It has a few tables but I can tell it's primarily for carryout. I'll stick with my old standby if I want Middle Eastern food. read more

The food is always delicious. A small order of hummous was mistakenly left our of our delivery order; someone from the restaurant personally delivered a larger order of hummous with more pita bread and added an order of rice pudding at no charge! Great service! read more

I had a kebab sandwich, which was delicious. The only thing was I asked if I could get the hummus on the side instead of in the sandwich. The clerk acted like it was impossible - said it only came on the sandwich. I couldn't understand why this would be a problem. Nonetheless, I would like to go back and try an entree. read more

Their fattoush, chicken and hummus look appetizing, so does their salmon gallaba and their fatta with chicken. Ordered the chicken gallaba, spicy with lentil soup, a regular hummus and a chicken kafta with lentil soup and a regular size fattoush. The hummus is smooth and tasty, devoured it with their piping hot pocket bread, which was soft and billowy and so perfectly paired with the hummus. The fattoush is good, dressing is slightly tart and so refreshing. The dressing has that famous pink coloring made from beet juice. The lentil soup tastes good, has some chunks of lentil that must have clumped up in the process, strange at first, but tastes fine still. The chicken kafta is super moist and has a nice flavor from the onion and parsley and other seasonings too. I really enjoyed it and so like that they have a poultry version of the kafta, as the lamb and beef kafta always looks so good to me, but I don't eat any red meat at all. The chicken ghallaba is tasty and the chicken is also moist. Sauce is rich and flavorful. The food was all quite flavorful, perfectly cooked and so yummy. Service here was great, they take great measures to make your experience that much better. read more

We used to love this restaurant, but the service has gone downhill. On our last visit we Just left after spending at least15 minutes at the table with only one other table in the entire restaurant occupied, and nobody coming up to offer water or take our order. The sole employee was taking phone orders and walking away to the back all that time. It appears that the business had been sold to new owners. Hopefully they get their act together... read more

Great service great food always good to return. Wide variety a nice halal option family type atmosphere

This is a great little Middle Eastern restaurant in West Bloomfield. I frequently get takeout from here. The last time I got the combo for 4 which includes 2 tawook, 2 kabobs, 2 kaftas and 2 chicken kafta, chicken and meat shawarma. It's safe to say it's enough food for a lot more than 4 people - for multiple meals even. It comes with hummus, rice, and salad. The meat is always excellent quality and the hummus is amazing! The staff has been a bit rude from time to time, hence the 4 stars. In terms of dining in, it is decently sized for small and large parties. It is quite easy to work here with a lot right side the restaurant. I do also recommend checking out the bakery next door! read more

Absolutely delicious! Everything was extremely fresh. We loved the fresh juice. We got the whole boneless chicken and split it and you can choose if you want dark / white meat. It comes with a salad and rice which are both fantastic. We did 1/2 white and 1/2 dark meat. It comes with an amazing lemony sauce. Do not skip on the hummus!! It is my favorite hummus. read more

Never misprints when I'm in the D! Hands down, The best Baba Ghanoush anywhere. Make sure you get the pickle turnips

Great service with great food. I always come back here. Variety menu and very tasty, my favorite is the cream chop chicken sandwich

My family has frequented the place for years and liked it but the past two times have been not good at all. The tabouli had huge stems and large uncut pieces and tasted old. The place looks dirty. Doubt we will go back read more

Service is bad and food is mediocre. Each time I've gone in the restaurant, I didn't feel welcomed. I wanted to love the place because it's the closest middle eastern restaurant to me. I've tried to give them the benefit of the doubt but the multiple experiences have been consistent. I've resorted to driving by and patronizing other options. To me the chicken shawarma is dry and not very flavorful. read more

It was here that I had my first shawarma sandwich, dip of hummus, toum experience (the garlic) and many other authentic dishes. I started going here before I could drive. After school I would ride my bike to get a sandwich and now, I bring all my friends and family, as this is still my go to spot. I have catered multiple house parties and several corporate events and cannot even begin to count how many times I have dined in! As I look. back on 25 years of dining at Al Oumara, I can't help but feel grateful for the countless meals and full happy bellies it has brought me and my family. Here's to many more years of delicious food, warm hospitality, and memories at my hands down favorite restaurant. There is not one bad thing in the menu and the owner is the real deal! Thank you for being a staple of West Bloomfield and taking care of me and my food addiction!! read more

Great service, excellent food ! I tried everything there, delicious. Clean place, they have a hot oven for fresh pita bread.

Great Middle Eastern food here at solid value. Located in a suburban strip mall, so low key and casual. Went late on a Friday evening with four people and had no wait (though the restaurant was still fairly crowded). Friendly staff served us quickly and brought complimentary pickled turnips--yum and purple! We got hummus and baba ganoush, which were both rich and creamy and came with hot, soft rolls. We got two combos meant for one person and each was enough food for two people. The kufta/kabob combo had juicer meet (shwarma combo came with kind of dry meat). Both were tasty and plentiful on the whole. Each also came with a large plate of salad which was great. read more

Ordered to go. Ready in minutes. The bread was cold ! Chicken was also cold in shwarma. Appeared like they heated the food and packed it. The yellow soup was thick like jelly....and cold ! read more

I used to order food from here when I was in high school and college because my parents lived about a mile away. I now live in South Carolina and every time I'm visiting I try to order from here. There is something about their fattoush salad and shish Taouk and humus that I love. my parents have moved to another area of town but I still make a point to come back here because I have not found a place down south that fills this void! I was so hungry I forgot to take photos! read more

Great food. It has been a long time since we have had middle eastern food this good. The dharma sandwiches and cheese rolls are amazing. The baklava crazy great. Can't wait to come back to try the other dinners! read more

I used to love this place, but never again will I go to this restaurant again. I paid for an order online and when I got there they said I never paid for it. I had to make them feel dumb and show them the charge on my card. Also the food is not how it used to be. I ordered a meal and added a side of grilled veggies. I had a grilled yellow pepper with the seeds still in it, one tiny piece of onion and one tiny piece of a carrot and a piece of tomato that was not grilled. These cooks are lazy. Shame on you for this one. read more

Very family-owned feel at this location. I placed my order online and it was ready in about 10 minutes. When I got there, the food was complete, so no extra waiting! I ordered hummus with chicken shawarma + an extra side of garlic sauce. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the humus was soooo smooth and creamy !My only qualm is that I wish I had ordered more pita! The hummus appetizer is served with four pieces of puffy pita, but the most I ate as leftovers, the more I wished I had ordered extra pitas! read more

I dined in last night with my friend and had raw kibbeh with hashwi, tabouli, and lemon chicken wings. Everything we put in our mouths was superb! The bread was fresh out of the oven, the tabouli was perfection, and the lemon chicken wings were the best we've ever had. The food here is consistently amazing! read more

Unhygienic-- cashier is eating at the register then immediately handling food, napkins, etc. The floor and door is dirty. Veggies and salad are limp. At these prices I'd like to see better quality. read more

I lived around the corner from al oumara most of my life, so my family and I are/were regulars. When we are in town , we eat there several times...family custom! I'm in Cali now and we wanted to provide some food for a funeral not far from the restaurant I called and placed an order for 2 family size trays to be delivered ASAP! , and when it was time to pay, their credit card machine failed and I was worried the food wouldn't get delivered or it wouldnt work out. However, without even knowing who we are, ( I think it was the owner) still delivered ALL the food without yet being paid which was really kind, and when the machine came back on, I was able to pay so everyone was taken care of. Food was delivered and was delicious as it's always been the last 10-15 years! Thank you very much! read more

So far really good! First time here and I got in just before closing so they were rushing but I was impressed with what I got!! I got a "vegetarian fatta" which I thought was like fattet bitengan (eggplant fatta) but it also had cauliflower in it. It was surprisingly great though!!!! Loved it- and huge!! Great flavor just the right amount of garlic too. Then I also decided to order their lemon chicken and rice soup. They gave me the end of it and offered me lentil instead but I already know lentil soup and wow I'm glad I tried the chicken rice- it was SO good!! I think they put some helba in it- there was definitely that flavor in it and was SO good!! This Egyptian girl is thoroughly impressed. read more

Been getting the Combo for 2 for years. Always cooked perfectly. Place is a little crazy when busy- lots of yelling and screaming but they get the job done. Their hummous and fresh made pitas are superb as is the lentil soup. Fatoosh salad is wonderful. Very casual eatery w/o alcohol. read more

Excellent food, great service. I judge Middle Eastern restaurants by their mjadra and this is by far the best I've had!

I went o this location on 4-15-22 to purchase a 1/2 dz bread and garlic sauce to compliment a meal I had prepared. When I ordered the same person handling my payment went and picked up my bread with his bare hands????? yuk! Then he had the nerve to come back with my order as if I was going to take it!! so I would not make a scene I asked him to step to the side and I discreetly asked for another order that he had not used his bare hands to get. IDK what he said in his language to another employee but someone with gloves grabbed my bread which seemed like an improvement but I still wondered why they just don't use tongues like other middle eastern restaurants I have visited that you can see how the bread is prepared and served. As I kept a close eye on my product to make sure it was being handled safely I noticed a waitress that was working use her bare hands to pick up bread to put on a plate to serve to a table. Absolutely disgusting. This is obviously a common practice here and If they are doing this with the bread I could only imagine what Is happening in their kitchen. I will never come here again. Yuk! read more
