We absolutely loved this. I came with my husband and mother-in-law (who had never eaten Lebanese food) for an awkward meal time between breakfast and lunch. We had an amazing meal. We got a TON of food, by accident. We all have big appetites and we still had so many leftovers. I thought it was gonna be tiny mezze type plates but they were substantial. And every single dish we tried was delicious. I'm certain you can't go wrong with anything that sounds good. The staff was wonderful and accommodating, and the locale was lovely. Would highly recommend and I can't wait to be back! read more

Nice no frills spot for mezzes and quite vegetarian friendly. Tried the ful, hummus, labneh with vegetables, spicy potatoes, and eggs with tomato and onion. All were really good but the ful and potatoes were the best. The pita can be refilled. Services is a reasonable for ordering but a bit slow after. Total was $60 with tax and pre tip, and easily fed 3 people to the brim! read more

AlTayeb Of Dearborn - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dearborn, Michigan

Ordered: Ful Al Tayeb (~$12) Hummus w Ground Meat (~$13) Fatteh w Laban (~$14) Eggs w Sujuk (~$12) Half Dozen Falafel (~$8) Aya's take: Nothing better than a Lebanese breakfast and Al Tayeb delivered! Everything we had was super traditional and tasted like my teta (grandma) was back there cheffing it up! My favorites were the Fatteh w Laban and Eggs w Sujuk. The Falafel was also freshly fried, herbaceous, and earthy. The Ful Al Tayeb was super tasty but could've used more lemon and garlic flavor. The Hummus was great but it would be better without the Ground Meat. I definitely understand the hype! read more

I wish I had remembered to take a photo but it looked so good I couldn't. This place was amazing. Come hungry. I had one of the egg dishes and hummus. Had enough to take back to the hotel for a light dinner. Also, stop at the Lebanese chocolate shop two doors down. read more

Amazing. No words. Love this place and always make a trip here when I come. The beef tongue Fatteh is the best and the falafel is always so fresh. We also got tea which pulled it all together read more

The place is very busy and loud. The staff is very polite and friendly. The food is great. The fatten hummus with the nuts and chuck meat was amazing, the hummus was creamy and garlicky with the right amount of lemon. The falafel were good. The pickles were tangy and sour crunchy good. The fried cheese was okay. The spicy potatoes were spicy and crispy. They had the doors open there were a lot of flies. read more

A hidden gem in Dearborn. After hearing so many great things about Al Tayeb I finally had the chance to try it out, and it did not disappoint! Came here on a busy Sunday morning and luckily we only had to wait about 20 minutes for a table for two. Food is phenomenal, portions are very generous, and the servers are kind and attentive. read more

AlTayeb is one of my favorite restaurants to eat at, but we only work up the nerve to go once or twice a year purely because of how long the wait usually is and how cramped and crowded the place gets. This time, we decided to go early, arriving a little after 9AM, where we pleasantly found the place only about a fifth full. By the time we left a little after 10AM, the place was completely full, with a line of people waiting for seats along the rightmost wall and even pouring outside. Just be aware that because of how busy they are, the waiters run around chaotically trying to get orders in, serve food, and cash people out, but they are still pretty overwhelmed. For this visit, we got a couple of items: Spicy Potatoes ($8.99) - These are the perfect batata harra. As you bring a potato chunk towards your mouth, the fragrance of the herbs hits you right in the face on your first bite. There isn't very much of a spice at all, but the flavor of cilantro and garlic is phenomenal. The exterior has a very nice light crisp on the corners and crannies, and the interior is light and fluffy. I get batata harra wherever I can and I have found these to be my favorite. (5/5) Half Dozen Falafel ($7.49) - The interior of each piece is super fluffy and moist with a very well crisped exterior. These are served with a nice thick garlic tahini but I actually don't think the falafel need the tahini at all given how moist they are. The ingredients are processed very finely with no distinct chunks of chickpea or herbs. The flavor is quite herbal. I found that perhaps this was salted a little too much, but it wasn't too oversalted. (5/5) Fatteh Tahini w/ Ground Beef ($15.49) - Everything comes together seamlessly in this fatteh. A garlicky tang from the yogurt, rich and tender chickpeas, succulent and umami ground meat, and a bit of texture and crunch from the freshly toasted nuts on top. This fatteh is served with the fried pita (made in house?) on the side, so you can mix everything up as you desire to prevent the pita from getting mushy too fast. The food is also served with a small cup of green zhug that adds some additional herbal notes and quite a bit of spiciness. It's a perfect accompaniment for much of the menu. Much of the spice actually settles on the bottom so you can get an extra kick if desired. Veggie Plate (Complimentary) - This was the weakest part I've found on previous visits, but this time, everything seemed to be fresh. The plate includes sliced tomato, onion, pickles and mint. Pita (Complimentary) - These are placed in a basket on each table before you even sit down. Pretty normal local commercial pita. If there was one thing that AlTayeb could improve, it would be to have fresh baked pita, but that's probably too much to ask for given their kitchen space. Hummus (Complimentary) - I love the hummus here - it's the absolute perfect blend, without any one ingredient overpowering another. In the center of the beautifully arranged hummus, they pile on a scoop of some of the most tender and delicious chickpeas, still steaming and hot served straight from the cooking vessel. I think the hummus is perfect as is, but there's a bottle of olive oil at the table if you want to add extra. I love the hummus here so much that this time I got an extra hummus for takeout. They are very generous with the extras included in takeout orders - even though I only got one item, they gave an entire container of veggies, a container of zhug, and pita. Bathrooms: Two individual rooms, one for men, one for women. Spacious if you have a wheelchair. Clean and supplied with Kirkland Signature toilet paper. No paper towels, just an air hand dryer. Everything we've ever ordered at AlTayeb has always been top notch deliciousness. I never hesitate to recommend AlTayeb when anyone is looking for a recommendation on where to eat. Just be sure to go early before the huge rush of people get there past 10AM! read more

First time trying middle eastern brunch and it was delicious! The place is clearly already popular. It was full when we got there and we had about an hour wait time. But it's next to really nice cafe that you can chill at in the mean time. The waiter gave us some good recommendations as first time visitors. The food came out super fast after we ordered a bunch of menu items. So the wait time was worth it. The ambiance is very casual and chill. It was a bit loud, but that's because it was so full. The price for all the food was very reasonable. Especially if you divide the prices between everyone in the group. I definitely want to visit again! read more

The food at AlTayeb feels exactly like Jordan in the best way. The tomatoes are bright and real, the hummus is warm and creamy, and every bite reminds you how simple food can taste amazing when it's done right. No frills, just fresh, comforting flavors that make you feel at home. If you miss Jordan, come here. You'll leave full and happy. read more

My friends recommended to check out this place a while back. We ended up first grabbing some baba ghanouj and some hummus. I like that they put chick peas with their hummus. The baba ghanouj wasn't as Smokey as I was hoping. The hummus wasn't bad either. Maybe it's better to come here for breakfast... read more

I have mouth-watering dreams about this place. I lived in Detroit for six months and went at least once a month. It is completely worth the trip outside the city if you are visiting. The food is phenomenal and unlike anything you will have anywhere else. Each time I visited, the staff was super nice and helpful with ordering new things. I absolutely love everything on the menu, but a cannot miss item is their Tabbouleh - I have tried it every time I see it on a menu elsewhere and it never competes. The ambience is a little tight with how many tables they have inside, but it makes sense when you realize how many people crave this incredible food. read more

Great Arabic breakfast spot. The service is very fast and friendly. I've been there with small and big groups a few times and they have almost always immediately sat us. Have seen the place get super busy and packed, with groups waiting outside for seats... show up early. Their falafel was extra delicious!!! During our last visit we had a small group of 5 and the chef sent out a free dish for us to try. Only reason for 4 va 5 stars is the overall texture... almost everything is the same texture, which is the overall idea with different variations of their specialty dish hummus... it just gets old after a while and make me crave a crunch. read more

Al Tayeb started out with it's first restaurant in Garden City, MI. That location serves amazing food and the customer service is phenomenal, but it was a very small and cramped space. I have never once seen it empty when I would dine-in or get takeout. Since then they have opened a second, much larger location in East Dearborn. Despite the added space, it was just as busy as always...and for good reason. The food and service here are absolutely incredible. I've had Lebanese breakfast from my mom, other members of my family and close friends. Nothing in my life has ever compared to the food this restaurant dishes out. They absolutely have the best falafel I've had in Michigan (flaky and crunchy on the outside, while light and airy on the inside). Every item that we consumed was shared with everyone, which is how Arab/Levantine breakfast is meant to be done. All the food was incredible and made fresh, which is impressive since the food came out very quickly (considering there wasn't an empty table in site during our time here). The food here is worth every penny, so if you want to impress a friend visiting from out of town this is the place you want to take them to. read more

This is apparently a second location for this business (I've found that successful business in this area often sprout into little local chains). It was open on a holiday, and packed. I got a bit of a sassy welcome upon asking whether I needed to order at the counter or be seated at a table, which was the only time in my journey through the area that someone wasn't extremely nice to me, so I'll chalk it up to misunderstanding on a busy day. I won't really hold the slow service when I did get a table against them either. Those of us traveling on the holidays appreciate that somebody comes to work so we can eat out, and it's probably better on most other days. While not a vegetarian restaurant, this place has a great breakfast menu with all sorts of bean-based classics helping you start the day out right. I thought the way to do things was to try a qudsia, which was a ful and hummus mix, so I'd get variety. My jaw dropped a bit when I saw that it came with a plate of accompaniments including half a tomato, a quarter or so of an onion, a pile of fresh mint leaves, a whole bunch of pickles, and some hot sauce, to say nothing of the pita at the table as well. I think most people share, but as one person it makes for an absurd portion size; I'm not a pickle person but I stuffed down the rest of it and canceled my other food plans. The flavors were rich and satisfying. A strong cup of tea washed things down, and while I was glad I didn't order any other side dishes as I had no room, the dishes that I observed at other tables looked appealing. read more

What an amazing experience! Dearborn has quite the food scene! We decided to take a Sunday Brunch date to AlTayeb. It was so busy but we lucked out and were able to be seated right away. We were a little overwhelmed with the menu. There are just so many options and we're not familiar with many of the dishes so we had to look them up online! lol Yelp really helped us out on this brunch adventure. It was helpful to see other reviews. We ordered a table full of food because we wanted to try a variety. We enjoyed everything but we both fell in love with the cilantro potatoes and falafel. I'm not a huge fan of falafel, but OMG, the most perfectly fried I've ever eaten. The texture is so smooth on the inside with nice crisp crunch on the outside. I've been thinking about this falafel for the past week. lol if you get an opportunity to try this place out, I would suggest coming early. read more

AlTayeb Of Dearborn - Too much food! Wanted to try everything. Not possible but we fave it a good shot! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dearborn, Michigan

I had to get up several times to ask for anything we needed; forks, take away packages, they even added a dish on the bill we didn't order. The service was so bad that we didn't even realize we were never served drinks. The food was nothing to rave about. We took people from Chicago and they hated the food. How did AlTayeb get a 5 star? What an embarrassment. read more

Came here with a friend but only AFTER did I realize this spot made the NYT's 2021 restaurant list. This spot was poppin' on a weekday late lunch which was surprising but it was so good & great value so I can see why. This spot is known for all day breakfast/brunch-esque food. Both my dining partner and I weren't familiar at all but we made it through by watching others and asking for recommendations! We had the: *Mosabaha (Freshly cooked Chickpeas mixed with Hummus) - this warm hummus was a DELIGHT! *Spicy Potatoes (Diced potato, deep fried and mixed with our house garlic cilantro sauce.) - We SLAMMED this dish. *Eggs with Sujuk - when this arrived to the table, I commented that this was almost like eggs & chorizo! ate like it too - fairly tasty! *Labneh with Zaatar - I love love love labneh and this delivered. They also serve you a plate of pickles, tomatoes, raw onion and mint! It's fun to get creative with this and make your own tasty bites. The above was PLENTY for two gals to be very full and bring home some leftovers! read more

Quiet busy place in the lunch time. Perfect for small groups. Service was fast. They have pita breads (packed) in the basket in every table. It's convenience if you like to use it. They come and place additional if needed. We had Fatteh Laban with chunk meat and Sujuk. This is the first time I had both of them.

This place has to be the BEST middle eastern breakfast/brunch spot in the Dearborn area. It's simply a bustling beehive inside with people and servers filling up the space. But we were quickly sat by very friendly staff and waited upon immediately. The menu has a wide selection and variety of regional breakfast items. Quickly picked an array and a pot of tea and we were well on our way to a good breakfast. Food came out quickly, fresh, hot and delicious. And soon we tucked into a Levant breakfast from heaven. It was absolutely insanely delicious. The vibe inside with classic Arabic music playing, families laughing and eating. It was so comforting inside--reminded me of back home. I HIGHLY HIGHLY suggest stopping in and personally will be back. (Like literally tomorrow for another breakfast) :) read more
