    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

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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...

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Too much food! Wanted to try everything. Not possible but we fave it a good shot!

    Beautiful, delicious food. We ordered a lot of food to try and enjoyed every bite. I can't get too specific on what to order because, as the photo shows, we truly tried almost everything!!!

    Met friends for dinner and downtown was the most central point. One of my friends suggested this…read morerestaurant because it was open on a Monday and we all thought Mediterranean was a good choice. Parking is tricky in this area of downtown so I parked further away and walked. The exterior of the restaurant is what draws your eye first - it's very welcoming. Once inside, you are surrounded by high ceilings, beautiful decor, and spacious seating. We were seated at a table next to the open wall-window so it felt like outside (they do have outside seating as well). Our server was highly knowledgeable about both the drink and food offerings. She made lots of suggestions and helped us to make our choices. For a drink, they made me a Mule - it didn't have as much ginger beer as a typical Mule but that was okay - it was very refreshing. We started with hummus as an appetizer for the table. They offer different toppings with it but we went with the basic that came with pita and a small side of tuom. They make fresh pita all night long so it was hot when it arrived. Their hummus is the most fluffy and creamy I've ever had. It was a taste delight! I chose the Shish Tawook for my entree. The chicken was grilled and smelled amazing! It came with a few vegetables, rice, and a small side of tuom. It was so good! Due to the freshness of all the food, I did not feel weighed down or listless after eating, which is a good sign of healthy prepared food. Now that I know of another great choice in Detroit, I'll be bringing family and friends to this place in the future. The ambience was warm and welcoming, service was top notch, and the food was amazing!

    The service, food, and vibes were all amazing here. I had heard great things and am so glad we got…read moreto check it out. The food all tasted great and we would definitely go back. The only thing I didn't like was that they boxed my food for me, but she didn't pack my whole plate. She left out the pita that was on my dish. I also would have loved to take home the rest of our hummus appetizer, but she took it without asking if we wanted it. We asked our server for more pita and she brought it to us no problem. However, we were a group of three and she brought out three slices of pita all in one tinfoil pack... they also brought out all of our leftovers in one bag. It just felt odd that at a high end restaurant they didn't double check. I would rather box up my own food than have you waste the food I was eating. And my own bag is helpful if I need to bring home a random slice of pita because there isn't enough tinfoil to go around ...

    Al Fawwal is a new Lebanese breakfast restaurant that opened up a couple of months ago on…read moreGreenfield Rd. We saw the signs going up late last year and only recently had a chance to drop by. It's always nice to see another place that specializes in breakfast/brunch! We stopped in close to noon and found a small shop with around 8 booths worth of seating. There were only two tables with customers at the time but a couple more groups trickled in later. Service is super friendly here - we sat down, ordered and our food came out pretty quickly. Hummus Bil Tahina ($7) - Nice creamy hummus, fresh tasting. The hummus here is a bit heavier on the tahini vs. some other places. This is topped with fresh tender, piping hot and steaming chickpeas, and a nice fresh olive oil that's just the slightest bit peppery. The olive oil here tastes much fresher than most other restaurants around the area. Fatteh Bil Laban w/ Ras Aasfour ($14) - I totally misjudged what ras aasfour is - when I googled this before going in, I thought it was going to be Lebanese-style mini ground beef meatball stew, but this turned out to be straight pan fried lamb. The construction is essentially a layer of super tender chickpeas, topped with fried pita chips, a garlicky and tangy yogurt, then a very gamey lamb flavored oil (the oil they use to fry the lamb), and finally toasted slivered almonds and the aforementioned ras asfour. While I don't usually like lamb, the meat was actually not gamey at all and I honestly thought it was beef at first. It wasn't until I dipped into the rest of the bowl that I found that the oil drizzled on top is super gamey and the taste permeates everything underneath. If you like lamb, you will love this dish. All the ingredients used in this fatteh are on the liquidy side, so the pita chips get very soaked and lose their crunch. Batata Harra ($7) - These potatoes were undercooked. We heard the chef frying everything up, but I guess they still weren't cooked long enough? The insides were not fluffy and instead were on the hard side. The exterior had no crisp whatsoever. The potatoes were tossed with red pepper flakes, adding a bit of spice, and fresh cilantro and garlic, giving an herbal pungency. I also found a bit of acidity possibly from the addition of lemon juice. As with a classic Lebanese breakfast, you get pita and a plate of fresh veggies and pickles to eat everything with. The pita is standard commercial pita probably from a local bakery. Another patron was asking about bread and the waitress said the oven was down, so maybe they usually have fresh pita? The veggies included sliced tomatoes, cucumber pickles, turnip pickles, fresh radish, onion, mint, and even some Lebanese green olives. Yum! A very nice accompaniment. On the table are the usual salt, pepper, sugar, and olive oil, as well as a bottle of pomegranate molasses. We asked the waitress and she said that people enjoy drizzling it on liver and on baba ghanoush. As a side note, this is one of the few restaurants around the area that serves complimentary bottled water. Most other places charge a dollar or two per bottle. The Lebanese breakfast classics at Al Fawwal are pretty good. It's a good choice if you want to expand your breakfast repertoire.
