    Beef Kabob Bowl Combo
    Charles C.

    If I review as a young 20s UM student four stars for value. If I review as a well traveled parent who as earner the gamut I'd the best campus food to the worst , 2.5 stars. Here to move my daughter in for her 2nd year. Ordered Gyro wrap: two stars, skinny bland very forgettable veggie bowl: three stars just bland all around Mixed kabob bowl: three stars credit for portions but meat was bland and dry and really forgettable as well Pita was totally forgettable starch filler

    Asked for Ranch chicken wrap w/ no tomatoes. The worked agreed no tomatoes. When I got home and ate my food it was pickles, and tomatoes through my wrap very disappointed.

    Super... simple, fast and economical,,, friendly helpful staff. Dedicated parking (may be 6 spots). But lot of street parking near by Went here for weekend lunch. They were busy with lot of to go orders, took a minute to take my order. Lot of vegetarian option, average 7-8 bucks per head not a bad deal. Decent quantity. We liked everything that we got.. We got the Falafel wrap- very good, crunchy falafel, longer than usual . Hummus bowl, plenty full. Amazing free topping option with pita. We also got side of hummus, I thought it was way too little for 4 bucks. See picture. The vegetarian grape leaf was good too. The only off was - pita was little old. They have self serve pop machine and the place was clean.

    This restaurant loses a star due to lack of transparency regarding cost. My biggest concern with this restaurant is that their prices are not transparent when customizing a bowl. The bowls are marketed at around $11, but you have to pay extra for your base like rice, and then pay again separately for the protein and other toppings. By the time it was done, I paid almost $50 for two bowls. That being said, the portion size is large and you can save some for later. The sticker shock for a simple bowl with one protein was just a lot. I enjoyed my bowl and would likely return here, but I prefer restaurants that are a little more up-front with their costs.

    Baba Daris portion sizes made me question how they are not bankrupt! The chicken shawarma bowl and the grape leaves were very good. Next time you're starving, dont think twice

    This place is IT for a quick lunch. I mean it is sleek inside, the service is fast, and it's very affordable! I walked in and I was greeted right away, I ordered a Falafel pita wrap. It wasn't " Blow Me Away with Rich quality ingredients," but it was blow me away with how cheap and how tasty it was. It's a build-your-own scenario with unlimited toppings. They are the classics for a pita. I LOVED their baklava, I literally had 3 pieces by myself. I'm disappointed that it took so long for me to discover this restaurant. I'll be back for sure.

    Huge, delicious salad with shwarma chicken

    We stopped in for a quick dinner as we felt the need to deviate from our other usual places - and I'm so happy that we ended up here! After living in Ann Arbor for so long, it's good to know that I've found a solid Mediterranean food place to go to when I have a craving. This review is completely from the standpoint of the restaurant now, I can't say that I went to the restaurant before it's face lift. I love the simplified menu of this place. Sure, it mimics a Chipotle or Qdoba style restaurant - simple starting point and then you can add toppings, proteins, and sauces. I went with a salad and added shwarma chicken, a whole mess of veggies and feta cheese, and added their signature dressing. The serving was massive and the salad bowl was overflowing with flavor. The chicken was tender and perfectly seared and paired well with the house dressing and hummus that I requested with it. I will certainly be coming back. Sure, it may be different from a traditional restaurant or what it used to be, but judging it right now - it was AWESOME!

    Wonderful new-looking Mediterranean meals. Create a bowl, either rice or humus or you can have a straight pita. Then pick your protein, your sauces and then toppings. I had the chicken schwarma rice bowl with bell peppers and baba ganoush sauce. FANTASTIC ! I will definitely be back and you should go there.

    I've walked by this place a bunch and was always intrigued, so I finally went the other day…read more Came around 5:30 and ended up timing it perfectly. We got seated right before a waitlist started building. The QR code ordering wasn't working for us, but you can just order at the counter and the staff were helpful, so it wasn't a big deal. I got the Juicy Sean wrap, the pkhali side plate, and the chocolate tahini shake. The walleye in the wrap was really good, super fresh and light. I think next time I'd get extra sauce though because it leaned a little dry for me. The pkhali side plate was great. I've heard it's seasonal, which makes me want to come back and see what else they rotate in. The flatbread paired really well with it. The chocolate tahini shake was good. I'd heard a lot about it. It just didn't stand out as much as I expected personally. Overall I really liked it and I'd come back, especially to try more of the seasonal stuff.

Very quick and friendly service. It's nice also that each table gets a QR code to order, which means that we didn't have to worry about splitting the bill. I tried the Juicy Sean Bowl and enjoyed it very much. I was curious about the sauce. Being Thai and seeing they have Prik Nam Pla was intriguing. Though it wasn't exactly authentic, it was pretty good! I liked the toppings, but felt like the ratio between toppings:rice was too low. I ended up with a lot of rice and nothing to eat it with. Could have definitely used more fish. I also tried some of the Pkhali and it was really good! The flavor of the wrap was delicious also. Highly recommended.

They were perfectly crispy and you can tell they fry them really well. Prices are very reasonable, and even though the order took a little time, it was definitely worth the waite. The place is small, but it's a hidden gem that deserves a visit. I also liked that there's a mini pantry connected to it. a fun little bonus!

    I LOVE a good shawarma. It's one of my favorite sandwiches. So when I drove past a place called…read more"Shawarma Shop", I was really excited. I said "Shawarma is in their name... it's next to a gas station... I bet this place makes a good shawarma". I was sorely disappointed. The chicken did not appear to be cut from a spit. If it was, it was not cut immediately because it was sitting in a chafing dish. Because of this, the meat was very dry and lacked flavor/seasoning. The garlic sauce made up for the lack of flavor by overcompensating; it was the most potent garlic sauce I've ever had. I don't mind some lettuce in my shawarma sandwich, but there was a lot of lettuce, which bulked it up. The pickles were right, at least. The balance of the sandwich was all off and all I tasted was garlic. Fries were pretty good, but they were over-seasoned. Service was fast and friendly. Price was fine but I can get a much better shawarma sandwich elsewhere for less. Overall, I was not impressed and will not likely return. It's the next day and two tooth brushings and I still have a strong flavor of garlic in my mouth... yuck. (Hamido in Dearborn has an amazing shawarma for 25% less; totally worth the drive!)

    First time going to Palm Palace. My colleagues rave about it, so I wanted to try it. Let me say,…read morethe food is *exceptional.* But, I went right around 5pm with my young son. We are black. We stood in the lobby for some time before three other groups showed up: a white couple, a white woman with her toddler, and a white couple with a baby. Eventually, the hostess appeared, and looking only toward the white patrons, asked how many were in each party. Never asked me. I volunteered that there were two of us. She said it wld be 10 min. When she returned, she motioned to the white woman and toddler, and proceeded to seat them. When she returned, she told the white couple with the baby to follow her. I said, "actually, we were ahead of them, " which she ignored. Her behavior was so offensive that even the white couple volunteered, "she was ahead of us." Reluctantly, she told all of us to follow. She seated all of us at our tables. I asked if they had crayons or paper for kids. She rolled her eyes and pretended not to understand English. Note that she addressed us in English in the lobby. I'll think twice about going back. Without a doubt, the food is amazing. But I don't want to subject my kid to that kind of abuse.

    Shoutout to my friend and fellow foodie Tiffany for always being down to try a new spot together!…read moreWe did a double date at El Harissa recently and it's my favorite kind of spot - welcoming and warm, with delicious food, and kind, patient employees. The cafe is a few tables inside of the market/deli, with a lot of takeout happening but I love that they offer dining in as they heat everything up for you and it's all presented very nicely. We ordered a ton of things: harissa dip, hummus, pita, spice roasted cauliflower, tabbouleh, lasagne verde, chicken tagine, and gelato. I loved that the menu indicates which menu items have a smaller carbon footprint - and we happened to be dining there on Earth Day! The food was all flavorful and the perfect temperature, which I appreciated. My favorites were the harissa dip, tabbouleh, and the lasagne verde. The chicken tagine was very good, and we enjoyed the leftovers the next day. The spice roasted cauliflower left us wanting it to be a bit more crispy, but it was a nice side. The gelato is delicious - it's made by Palazzolo's but El Harissa provides them with the unique ingredients for their specialty flavors. They were out of some but we got to sample several. We ended up with the roasted pistachio gelato and the apricot peach cardamom. The texture of the gelato was perfectly creamy and the flavors were strong. The market has lots of great items to buy: chips, tunisian olive wood pieces, spices, etc. I'm so glad we sought out this spot and can't wait to get more of their food!
