I did not like the pickles in the wrap and the spinach pie plate was kinda meh and skimpy in it's portions. Then we tried different things and I loved my chicken wrap that came with garlic sauce and I requested no pickles! It was delicious and filling!! My husband also got another wrap and loved it! We want to try their other plates. We got our food to go so I cannot comment on the ambiance and service. They seemed very busy though so it says something about their food!

The place is connected to a gas station, but don't let that fool you ! the food is incredible! We ordered both beef and chicken shawarma. The portion sizes were broken g and great, and the flavor was absolutely juicy yummy and delicious. Although the garlic sauce was a bit heavy for me, but still tasty The fries are one of my favorite. 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!)

Beshar was very friendly and ensured our needs were met. Food came very quickly. Items were freshly made - bread was hot out of the oven. You got to try their juices (we tried beets + carrots, and carrots + apple - both were great). All the items we had were excellent (starter combo, chicken shish kafta, lamb shawarma, baklava, falafal) and authentic. Based on the tasted and quality, we think you can't go wrong with other items too. Don't forget to try their Yemani tea. We are definitely going back.

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!

Had the: *Spice Roasted Cauliflower (Crispy cauliflower florets coated and baked in rice and chickpea flour and our North African spice blend. Served with Harissa Dip) Small/1-2 Portion - $11): A little soggier than I'd like but the flavors were good! I also like the harissa dip it came with! *Small Merguez Meatballs (Inspired by the Maghrebi sausage, our spiced lamb and beef meatballs are hand-rolled with onions and herbs and coated with a thick tomato sauce. Served with saffron rice or couscous - small portion came with 3 for $10): For meatballs that included lamb - it wasn't gamey at all and very tasty! I picked cous cous for my side. *Chicken Chermoula (Brined, seared, then baked to capture all of its flavor, our crowd-favorite chicken is juicy and delicious. Served over rice with our herby, garlicky, lemony Chermoula Sauce - Double Portion - $18): Our main entree to share. The lemony chermoula sauce was delish. Chicken was perfectly cooked - not dry at all! Mujadara Rice (A Levantine staple of spiced green lentils and rice. Ours is adorned with carefully caramelized golden onions for a touch of savory-sweetness - small for $8) - SO tasty! I could eat this on its own. Maghrebi Chili (Smoky and spicy. Ground beef seasoned with Harissa spices and slowly cooked with chickpeas, lentils, black beans, peppers, and loads of vegetables - Small/Pint - $9.50) - FIBER CITY! Flavors were really good! We also had SO much gelato - they basically let us sample all of them. ended up with the pistachio and tiramisu. I'll be back - especially for a salad with their wonderful chicken - seems like a great healthy option!
