Was perfect balance of egg and other ingredients where it wasn't all egg! Potatoes excellent as well. DO NOT MISS the homemade biscuits.

The staff was very friendly and warm when greeting guests. Their personable nature made the visit that much more worth the walk in the heat. Since the place was pretty busy we took bar stools to avoid waiting for a table and it was a good view of the smaller kitchen area. I was pleasantly surprised at the efficiency we saw from the busy crowd and the food not taking 10 years. The food was tasty. I truly enjoyed my Korean spicy fries. Spicy in name not truly spicy to cause a burn if that makes sense. I was craving a traditional breakfast plate but the staff and my friends who are local insisted that I needed to try the Korean fries so I did both. Was it greedy of me? Absolutely. Did I care? No. The locally sourced sausage was also very tasty. I must try to find it to cook at home. My friends ordered their regular go-to meals so it was great according to them. The burger and the duck hash. I think I'll go back and try the duck hash next time for sure. And another thing, there's a particular parking garage they validate a couple hours for. So parking is not an issue in this downtown office building.

The interior does look nice, they updated it a lot but still kept some of the wood features from before, which I liked. That said, the service and overall customer experience definitely needs improvement. We stood in the lobby for quite a while with no clear direction. It wasn't obvious whether we were supposed to wait somewhere specific or if a hostess was coming, so there was a lot of confusion until someone finally let us know there was a wait. Once we were seated, it also took a long time for our waitress to come over. By the time she did, we'd already had plenty of time to look over the menu and knew exactly what we wanted. When I asked a few questions while placing my order, she seemed a bit irritated, which didn't feel very welcoming. As for the food, everything on the menu felt overpriced for the quality and portion sizes. We ordered a variety of items to try different things. The cinnamon sweet potato pancakes were definitely the standout, they were really good. The grits bowl was good, However, the biscuits and gravy were disappointing. It was just one biscuit for $6, no meat at all, and the gravy tasted a bit off. Overall, the pricing for breakfast felt steep, and I was honestly a little taken aback by it. The mimosas were delicious, but again, not quite worth the price point for me. Nothing I had really stood out enough to make me feel like I have to come back for it, which was disappointing because I wanted to love this place. Maybe I ordered the wrong things, so I might give it another try to see what the hype is about, but as of now, it was just okay. Solid three stars.

So, not expecting a long wait, since we were the only one's placing an order at that time. First clue - had to ask the waitress to wipe off the table. Well, at 11:30am, our food had not arrived yet. Getting busy now. Our order - or at least most of it - finally arrived at 11:40am. Waitress Never came back for drink refills during this time or apologize for the wait. Ordered scrambled eggs with cheese - the only item that was truly steaming hot. Cat fish was ok - just luke warm. Oh yeah- ordered the Salmon croquettes as an appetizer. Never arrived. Was told later they didn't have any. Potatoes with peppers and onions were tasty, not cooked too hard. Shrimp & grits were good. Had to remind the waitress that we had ordered them though. The french toast croissant was probably good, if we had an opportunity to eat it while it was hot. The real insult was that the syrup arrived with a layer of water on the top!!!! Never have seen watered down pancake syrup in my life!!!!! Took 15 minutes to get it replaced. Of course by then the French Toast was cold. Ambiance - why on earth do they need a live DJ playing the music way too load. Maybe it is to distract you from the excruciating long wait :-( Without the DJ, they could another table for 4. Have been coming here for years at their different locations. They have always struggled with timely service. Even from scratch, there is no reason orders any order should take nearly 2 hours. Overall, the food is very good. The owner has ALWAYS struggled with getting orders out timely. If anything it has gotten worse. Would STRONGLY recommend: - getting rid of the DJ - adds nothing to your bottom line and uses space that could generate revenue with a table for 4. - get a qualified restaurant busines consultant to assist with timely processing of orders and efficiently turning over tables. - faster service and bussing of tables could easily result in doubling revenue, just from the turnover - train staff - tables should be cleaned before seating customers, should check in every 15 minutes on requests or other needs. There is a 20% gratuity automatically added ti the bill - yet the waitress had the unmitigated gall to suggest a "cash tip". - STOP cutting corners by taking shortcuts like watering down the syrup. Makes one wonder what else you are doing that diminishes the quality of the food. We have patronized many time over the years and brought friends. Sad to say, can't imagine returning. Wishing you well.

    This review is strictly for the limited run chicken sandwich they do every year, and all I can say…read moreis when he announces that it is the season, run, do not walk and get one. The spices, the flavors, the perfectly crisp coating, the toppings, you name it, this chicken is it. Order online and it's ready for you quickly so you can get it all over you in the car if you want. Service is always impeccable and if you choose to eat at the restaurant, it's an absolutely lovely spot.

    One of the best restaurants in Detroit and one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. This…read moreis thanks to the chef and owner Chef Omar, who is a fantastic human. The restaurant is easy to miss, located on a main road. They do have a small free parking lot. The interior is small, intimate, casual, and unpretentious. At my second visit (my first was several years ago when it first opened) my friend and I came late in the afternoon on a Friday. I'm not sure if we came at a slow time (we were initially the first customers there) or that the Chef was training a new service, but we received VIP treatment. I've occasionally had chefs check in, I've never had service from the chef before! He discussed the menu, as well as his intention for the restaurant. I love Moroccan tea, and the tea service they provide is just lovely. He is certified in tea, and incredibly knowledgeable. My friend and I started with the mudammas fava bean dip, served with pita chips. This was so fantastic I would return just for it. Creamy, just the right balance of flavor, topped with fresh veggies to add texture, I cannot say enough good things. I had the lamb tagine, and she had the kafta meatball batbout. The meatball is listed as a sandwich, it is in house made flatbread. Both dishes were amazing, so fresh and flavorful. The lamb shank was fall off the bone, the couscous was loaded with fresh vegetables. I ended up stopping in for lunch again by myself. I had the harissa potatoes and the flava bean soup, and a slice of pie that was a special. Everything again was fantastic, but it's the potatoes that you will crave after having once. Crispy and brightly flavored, soft once you bit in. I was able to try one of the Chef's teas, and hear a bit more about the restaurant. While the bread for the meatball batbout is made in house, the bread for the fish and chicken sandwiches he obtains locally. I like how engaged he, and the restaurant as a result, is with the community. Chef Omar treats all of his customers as welcomed friends. A quick note that the restaurant does not have any alcohol. They offer alcohol free wine and other beverages. Be aware of this, but do not let it deter you!
