I ordered an appetizer of hummus and an order of falafel to go and it was absolutely delicious with generous portions. I musta been craving chickpeas! Included a small salad, with additional greens under the falafel. And some pickles. The bread was fresh and warm. Two containers of that heavenly white garlic sauce and I levitated 4 inches off the floor. So good!! The owner says the falafel was his wife's special recipe and wow! My complements to the chef! None better! Really nice and friendly. The restaurant is spotless and inviting. Lots of parking in back. TVs or music always playing. No stairs. Public restrooms that I didn't use. Skip disgusting overpriced Leo's Coney across the street, and stop in here-- Leo's hummus is days old and you only get a few teaspoon-full for $8. (I'm not exaggerating!) and No bread! I'll never step foot in Leo's Coney again. This place is right across the street and 1000x better. Telegraph and Vreeland next to Taco Bell. Photo: Doesn't that just look scrumptious? It was gone fast. I'D LIKE TO ADD: I hardly thinks it's fair this TAMARA woman, reviewer below me judges the restaurant's quality of food based on her impression that no one was there. She didn't even ORDER! I've been here many times when the family was in the back cooking and they popped out within a few moments to take my order. She didn't even seat herself to look at the menu. . She's upset they didn't kiss her feet upon the moment of entering. Her review is totally unwarranted ! Try the food THEN judge them. This is a family run business-- GONE THEM A MOMENT TO COME OUT TO GREET YOU. Or... as others do, seat yourself. If you do not receive any service within 20 minutes, leave and post a low review. Not walk in and start shouting then leave!! I hate entitled ppl like this. I REALLY DO. read more

Stopped here for quick lunch during work from down the road... two cars in parking lot but NOBODY inside. Called out, left. Maybe it's just me but how can this place remain open when not only do I never see customers but when I tried to try the food never see employees either?!?!? Shady at best, probably lucky didn't eat question quality with no guests coming back. read more

Bashar's Family Dining - Empty lot per usual... - Middle Eastern Near Me - Flat Rock, Michigan

I've been here a few times. I get a shrimp dish with Chick peas and rice w fattoush salad and pita w this yummy garlic sauce. It is soooo good. I love this dish and the fattoush w it is an extra bonus. It is way better than a regular garden salad you might get at other restaurants. I often crave this meal when I'm out somewhere and getting hungry. The owner is so nice and accommodating. I recommend dining here or ordering your next carryout. You will love it..... and then you will crave their food also ! read more

I can't believe this place is still open, the food is so bad. If you love Lebanese/middle eastern food, there are much better options. The hummus here is brown and chunky, and just plain nasty. read more

Eh. Came here today, our original plan was Brome Burger in Dearborn but with the snow, we decided to stay someplace closer to my boyfriend's apartment area. I had a $20 Restaurant.com thing which is why we chose this place, plus we both like Mediterranean food. We had recently gone to Malek Al Kabob, in Taylor, which was excellent, so Bashar's had large shoes to fill. We walked in, around noontime, and the place was completely empty, with no music playing. There was a sign that seat Wait to be Seated so we waited, soon someone came out to seat us. There was a poster on the door advertising a $6.99 lunch deal that sounded pretty good - a shwarma sandwich, fries or rice, and a fattoush salad - but the waiter said we could either do that OR use my restaurant.com coupon. I wasn't super surprised at that but it was still annoying. Bread and garlic were not complimentary, which makes Bashar's lose a star from me automatically - at Malek they were, and at other places they charge a small fee; here it was $4.99 or $5.99 for a medium serving of garlic, I believe, with pita bread. We did get a HUGE portion of garlic, but still. The garlic was very tasty, it was a bit spicier than others I have had. I got the chicken kabob sandwich and it had chicken, garlic, onions, and red and green peppers in it. It was very good but tasted more like a pita sandwich than kabob - I couldn't taste the garlic that much. My boyfriend had a chicken shwarma sandwich. The portions are very large here, for $4.99 for a sandwich, especially, but we both agreed that Malek's is better, taste-wise. Overall not a bad place, but I wasn't super impressed by it, either. read more

Bashar's Family Dining - Huge plate of garlic, and pita bread ($4.99 or $5.99 I believe) - Middle Eastern Near Me - Flat Rock, Michigan

I have moved away from Detroit area but I eat here 2 times every week I come back. I Love this place. When I lived here, I would eat at least once weekly. Some of the best food and I have tried them all. This place is rock solid, even rock star good. I have tried the rest in the area and several places in Detroit. Bashar's family dining is as good, if not better, than everyone else. Prices are great, too. Owners are super friendly and respectful. read more

My in-laws ate here and really enjoyed it. They aren't on Yelp and asked me to post this rating

First and last time going here. We ordered two dinners for two as well as hummus and garlic sauce. The salads look as if they had been sitting in the fridge for days. read more

It's good, friendly, great lunch special. Place is completely empty I usually take that as a sign to stay away. I'm glad I didn't . Is it the best ? No, but it's just what I needed. I recommend and would come back. read more

This place is wonderful. Food service, food. Taste of food. Amount of food (for sure) staff is alrite. Food is great delivery is fast and easy. read more

Hubby and I recently had lunch at Bashar's. We're foodies and eat out often. We love Mediterranean food and Bashar's is excellent. They are open, even though a white small sign by the road says they now offer takeout. We at first was wondered if they were serving inside. Greeted promptly and sat quickly. We both got a cup of lentil soup, which was quite generous. Yummy and seasoned perfectly. I got a chicken swarma sandwich and hubby got a chicken kabob sandwich. Both came in grilled pita with a delicious garlic sauce. Mine had pickles; my favorite. Highly recommend this restaurant. If you love Mediterranean food, this is the best around. So many great restaurants were decimated by the shutdown in Michigan, they all need a chance at serving you. We moved here recently from Georgia (metro Atlanta area), and know good food when we find it. Give them a try. They also serve alcohol for those who enjoy a cocktail with their meals. We'll definitely be back! Almost forgot to take a photo, it was so good. Just captured my dish in photo. read more

I love middle eastern and mediterranean food. Love it! I could eat it every day. As such, I am an extremely harsh critic of it, as I cook it myself often and have been spoiled by the Dearborn/Dearborn Heights area as I lived there for a few years. First of all, the owner (at least I think he was the owner there today) was so, so nice. The food came within a reasonable amount of time. I'll just dive right into it, listing off my thoughts on what I had. Deboned Chicken: Very, very tasty. Somewhat dry, but nicely seasoned and very flavorful. Great portion and the rice was excellent. Garlic (toum): EXCELLENT. 'nough said. Fattoush salad: Not used to the large chunks of tomatoes, or lettuce. I prefer everything much more condensed. The dressing was good, but Cedarland still takes the prize on that. The bread was not as fresh and Dearborn, but downriver does not get fresh pita daily...it has to be unfortunately transported, and that particular type of pita looses freshness FAST. Overall, OK, but not "amazing." Hummus: Although OK, I would consider their hummus an "area of opportunity." It almost appeared to be made from canned chickpeas, or maybe with a lower grade Tahini (not really sure). The portion size was very small for the price. Lentil Soup: Not my favorite. I make mine with red/orange lentils. This one was made with brown lentils and also had meat in it. Sorry, but i didn't really care for this. I think this place definitely as potential. It would be really great if they could work on some stand-out dishes that could go head-to-head with dearborn. Also, I think the pricepoint was a too high. Willing to keep going back. read more

Different than Dearborn...but good. More variety than the typical Middle Eastern restaurant. We ordered pierogi's for an appetizer for instance. I actually made a pierogi pita with garlic sauce The chicken shawarma was very good, spiced nicely and all white breast meat. They also serve beer and wine which is nice. Will definitely go back. read more

Extremely disappointed and will NOT be back. Went here, today being from Kentucky with a Groupon to use. After ordering food, then presented certificate, he stated was not valid on Weekends/Holiday and he told Groupon to put that in fine print. Needless to say, Nothing in Fine Print about that and I ended up with a $47 bill instead of being able to use my $27 Groupon I paid for. This is fine print from Groupon: Fine Print Limit 1 per person. Limit 1 per table. Valid only for option purchased. Dine-in only. Not valid for happy hour specials. Must purchase 1 food item. May be repurchased every 30 days. Considering we had to leave to go back to KY, there was no way for us to use it later in week. To be an owner of a restaurant, hoping to build good will and repeat business (considering our family lives locally right around this place) is completely shocking and I would not recommend supporting a business that would treat their customers this way, when this is an issue with Him and Groupon. SHAME ON YOU!!! read more

Had a terrible experience here today. I'd like to start off with a disclaimer that we are middle eastern and know good middle eastern food as we eat it all the time. My family and I came in today (the day before thanksgiving) around 2:30 pm for lunch. The restaurant was completely empty and we were the only ones in there. The design is extremely plain looking, the bathroom felt dingy and there were no paper towels stocked in there to dry my hands. We started with a hummus. The hummus was lumpy-ish and not extremely smooth in texture as it usually should be. It had zero flavor to it and just not good at all. Normally I love garlic but the garlic paste was extremely potent and had a fishy taste to it that was odd. The garlic ruined the taste of my shawarma sandwich. I got the lunch special (sandwich, fries, salad) but upgraded my fattoush to taboulli for $1 extra. Everything was served on the same plate. My fries and sandwich were getting soggy from the taboulli dressing spilling into them. I had to remove all the fries from my plate just to salvage the ones that didn't get soggy yet. The taboulli actually tasted pretty good. The fries were ordinary and could have used more salt. And as I stated earlier, the fishy taste of the garlic ruined my sandwich. The sandwich also wasn't as packed with ingredients as most other restaurants make it. I ordered spaghetti for my son. Again, another bland tasting item to me. But I didn't mention any of this to the waiter because I didn't want to complain and I wasn't even planning on writing a negative review until THE FOLLOWING HAPPENED: I had a Groupon for this place. ($24 voucher towards the bill). The merchant refused to accept my Groupon because he considers "Thanksgiving Eve" to be a holiday. Mind you, there are no holiday exclusions in the fine print, and today isn't a holiday, it's just a normal Wednesday. I explained this to him multiple times and he continued to refuse to accept it. So we paid the bill and left. I got my Groupon refunded later. And I'll never go back again. But considering I never complained to him about the entire meal, why would he risk losing us as a regular customer over this Groupon? What if I actually liked the food and planned on coming back regularly? This Groupon matter alone would definitely deter me from returning. Don't offer discounts if you can't afford to accept them. read more

The food is amazing. I've been to more well known Mediterranean restaurants and still Bashars is my favorite. Best garlic sauce!!

I checked this place out with my mom. We stopped in for a late lunch. The place was empty. We were greeted promptly by a man who appeared to be the owner. Drink orders taken, we ordered the lunch special: a chicken Sharma with rice and a fattous salad for 6.95. The owner took our order and went off to cook. We did not get any bread or garlic paste, nor our salads before meal. Which was okay because really who needs all those carbs? Instead the owner after about ten minutes came out with our lovely meals, salad on platter and served us. We asked for exta garlic paste, which he promptly brought. The meal was delicious and service good. We enjoyed so much found a Groupon and we will definitely be back. I recommend food fresh and tasty. read more

Very disappointed. The chicken had no seasoning. I got the chicken kabob entree and the tabouleh. The only thing I enjoyed from my meal was the sauteed bell peppers. The tabouleh was dry and had no flavor at all! My sister got the chicken shawarma sandwich and all it had was dry unseasoned chicken, a pickle and a piece of a tomato. 0 out of 10 would not recommend! read more

First time trying last night and food was bountiful and tasty. Went with debone, shawarma, and strips. All were good and we'll be back.

This place had piping hot food! Talk about fresh.....the chicken was perfectly seared and juicy. The flavor was out of this world! My hubby ordered the grape leaves and absolutely loved them. We will be back! read more

I wanted to love this place... I have been drooling over their photos on Facebook for quite sometime now. I ordered through grubhub, got my food to my table and honestly took a couple bites from my meal and tossed it. Literally ate cereal instead. I knew just from the look of the hummus that it wasn't going to be good... it didn't even taste like hummus.... The other meal I ordered was the galaba and it was very off putting. I love Mediterranean food and have never really been disappointed anywhere else. read more

I have tried this place about 5 times...I guess I keep trying it just to see how they even stay open when no one is ever in there...very strange...few take out orders too..makes a person wonder. The worker or owner or whoever it is...is nice enough. The food is...wellll...ok in a pinch certainly not top notch if you visit Med. restaurants often you will know. I know I will not visit Bashar's again even though it is close. read more

The wife and I decided to drive here for lunch on a Sunday. We had a Groupon, and our waitress was still very nice and attentive. It could've been because for the first 20 minutes we were the only people in the restaurant, but I digress. The hummus we started with was 3 out of 5 stars. Not bad, but not spectacular. They have the basic pita bread in a bag, again, not bad, but the fresh bread at Beirut Gardens blows it away. That being said, my wide ordered the chicken shawarma sandwich and I got the chicken shawarma/kefta special called Tareq's special. Kefta and shawarma were both well seasoned and served with a really, really good fattoush salad. The garlic sauce here was also really, really good. Overall a pretty good dining experience. I would go there again. read more

I gotta say, when I got to this place I wasn't expecting a whole lot. It looks like the building used to be a Denny's. This place serves beer, mixed drinks, Mike's Hard, wine, etc. To my surprise, the food was quite tasty. We had the hummus with chicken as an appetizer, and got a "medium" size side of garlic sauce. The portion was HUGE. It was the size of a dinner plate! Considering that was a medium, the large must be massive! I had the falafel sandwich and my husband had a schwarma sandwich for our meal, and I got a side of almond rice. Everything was great- the best part is, it looks like they put the sandwiches in a panini press- so the pita was nice and crispy! The only downside is that their pita for hummus is the flat pita in a plastic bag, whereas I prefer the hot fluffy pita, but the food was so tasty, I might overlook that and make another visit. read more

I had big hopes for this place as it's extremely close to my office and it had a big sign on it stating that Channel 4 had selected it as one of the best in Metro Detroit. Which either Channel 4 never had Middle Eastern food before or they never ate at this place. I'm not saying it's horrible, but it is no where near the best. Or even one of the best. I hate to write a bad review about anyone because it could affect someone's livelihood. But I was greatly disappointed. The fattoush salad was terribly bland and it was very small. Then the mixed shawarma was just OK. What's more disturbing is my bill was $19 for what would be considered kid's portions. Maybe I'm spoiled by the great food and large portions at my favorite restaurants in Dearborn. I won't be back. Which is sad because I was really hoping this place would be great. read more

Great and fresh food, attentive service. Loved it. Will definitely be back. I see a lot of complaining about coupons and to give one star for that is petty and ridiculous. This is authentic middle eastern food and it's amazing. A small, family owned non franchised business could really hurt from getting one star for such insignificant issues and it's very sad. I enjoyed my meal very much. read more

Meh. Good hummus. Lovely fallafal. Chicken was so extremely dry. Like, inedible. Atmosphere was good and service was good.

Great food, good service. Only complaint was the coffee was week and almost tea like. Don't let the coffee stop you. I drink coffee all day long . read more

My first experience was good. A lot of food for your money, cozy atmosphere but more of a diner atmosphere. My second time was the last time I will ever eat there. I found a hair in my food. I immediately stopped eating, didn't want a replacement dish. We were the only people there so I don't understand how they paid such little attention to my food. read more

My husband and I stopped in on a Sat. around 5pm to have dinner. Surprisingly, the place was empty! Not a soul there. We were quickly sat by a pleasant hostess and server. We placed our drink orders and meal orders. Service was perfect. We ordered: -Stuffed Grape leaves -Hummous -Fattoush Salad w/ Chicken -Pirogues Food came promptly as ordered. The hummous portion was large and tasty; however, the pita bread given with it was dry and stale. Garlic sauce is VERY strong and has a bite. Fattoush salad size is somewhat small. Stuffed grape leaves were also small in size, and were just so-so in taste. Chicken on the salad was EXCELLENT. Very juicy and well-seasoned. My husband seemed to like the pirogues, but didn't act like they were anything special. Will go back, but am interested to re-try their items and see if freshness and taste/portions improve. read more
