My wife bought me a Chicken Shawarma salad and I 100% enjoyed it. She had a Lamb Shawarma and was happy with her selection. I've had Chix Shawarmas in the past and they have been flavorable and filling. I've been to several Bucharest locations and have never been disappointed. I definitely will return, maybe I will become a lil more challenging and try a few different dishes in the future. read more

Bucharest Grill - Chicken Shawarma Salad.... - Mediterranean Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

There's no restaurant that is more consistent, reasonable and fabulous than the Bucharest Grill. This restaurant has become a constant staple in our outside dining rotation. We have eaten in every location except for Livernois, and this organization's attention to consistency should become the benchmark for any multi location food service provider. I absolutely love this place and it is my go to restaurant for out of town guests that struggle with making a dining decision. There is absolutely something on the menu for everyone. read more

Bucharest Grill - Mediterranean Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

My oh my,oh my, where do I start? Your female workers are rude then a BITCH! Food takes way to long and that little window you have to receive orders is bougie asf when I have been told to come in and get my order anyway!! I wouldn't eat nothing you MORONS cook!! read more

Ordered a chicken shawarma which was not put in the bag. Ordered 2 beef shawarma tough as heck, and 1 leather lamb shawarma. The food was greasy and cold. Ordered through grubhub and food delivered pretty fast. Called Bucharest Grill and the young lady on the phone was very unhelpful. Thankfully grubhub refunded my money for missing shawarma. Overall food was pretty gross, will not recommend to anyone. read more

This new Bucharest location has become a work day lunchtime favorite. The Chicken Shawarma at $6 is a great deal and it's almost too big for lunch! I find myself very full every time I eat here. You can't beat that value though. The only thing I don't like is that you have one choice for fries instead of there being a combo. You can pay $3 for a huge basket of fries that is too much for one person or have nothing at all. Surprisingly they never seem overly busy during lunch hour, but I won't complain. It seems like that is more a product of efficiency than not being popular. I will be keeping Bucharest on my lunch rotation as I have been completely satisfied every time! read more

Best chicken shawarma around! We always make a stop when we're around Detroit, even drive out of the way to get it!!

First and last time I will be here. Service and food was awful. Ordered the Chicken Shawarma, and was not happy with any part of it. Didn't like the marinated chicken, and pared with the mayonnaise and garlic sauce, made the pita bread soggy. On top of that, the garlic was too strong and overpowering. I voiced my opinion and instead of getting a replacement, I caught a nasty attitude and was told to just Yelp about it. I will be keeping my business in Dearborn where they know how to make a chicken shawarma. A waste of $11 read more

My husband suggested this place after a Tiger's game and I was pleasantly happy with this place. The lamb Shawarma was so good! The fries were food, but I wish they served rice with the shawarma. We will be back though. read more

Waited 30+ minutes for an order, still have not received it. Asked for an update, I was told they are waiting on fries. People who ordered after me, got food before me with fries. read more

The food was amazing!! My boyfriend and I were coming back from a concert that got out super late so it was hard to find a place with inexpensive food that wasn't super busy or closed. As a last resort we went to this place, and THEY DID NOT DISAPPOINT!! I had never really had any Mediterranean food before so i was nervous but it was definitely some of the best food i have had in a while! I had gotten two chicken shwarmas and he got the bucharest shawarma box.The service was quick and the staff was pleasant! We had a 20 min drive back to the hotel and the food was still warm! read more

I've only been here for takeout but I love this place! I go for the chicken Shwarma salad - I'm not usually a salad person but the wraps make me super lethargic and their salads are full of their delicious chicken. I treat my self to their fries as well - I pair it with the garlic whip and it's basically like eating garlic fries - yum! I'll have to pay an in-person visit here but if you're looking for Mediterranean takeout that tastes delicious but won't put you into a food coma, the quality of the food here will satisfy. read more

Stopped by for take out while in the D. Staff was attentive and the 6-pack satisfied my family. My son compared the chicken shawarma to what we ordered in Toledo the day before and Bucharest was king. read more

Food was solid not the best shawarma but good enough. The situation is not. This location has an identity crisis. It is a bar, carry-out, cafeteria joint? Not sure. The bar was half full yet we had to leave and go to Bookies to get a drink. 1 bartender should not be taking food orders. I would give it another try but they really need to pick a lane. read more

We decided to hit up my girlfriend's favorite shawarma place after watching the Piston's finally win one at the Little Caesar's Areana. Even that late at night, the place was still buzzing. We decided to get our shawarmas to go and dine in our hotel room. It took a while to get our order of chicken and lamb shawarmas, but the wait was definitely worth it. Both were flavorful and absolutely stuffed with meat. The chicken had a milder flavor compared to the lamb, but both were amazing all the same. The garlic sauce is also to die for and had to be drizzled on top of every bite. I wish Bucharest would franchise to the East Coast so I can enjoy their amazing food more often. read more

Food is usually pretty good. Its worth trying you haven't. Try the shwarma sandwich. Has a distinctive taste.

Good food. Awful service. Lied about not having salt? Basic etiquette is not present from the staff. Doesn't care about your service or experience, only getting out as soon as possible after close. Didn't offer to turn the soda machine back on but the employees were certain to help them selves before leaving for their shifts. Disappointing service for a Saturday night. read more

First time eating here, as we usually get it catered at work and the place is pretty spacious. We came around 12p on a Friday and it wasn't extremely busy but busy enough. They have pretty big seating spaces, a bar area with stools and some booths that could fit a decent group size. You order and pay for your meal in the front and then your food gets delivered to your table. We ordered drinks but had to order at the bar. I probably had one of the best Moscow Mules that I've had in awhile, it was so refreshing and tasted perfect and for $5, it could not be beat. For food, I ordered the Chicken Shwarma Stick which was $1 cheaper than their regular shwarma. I think you still get a lot of food from it and chicken was cooked perfectly. The side of fries was also good, but I had pictured thinner, stringy fries since it stated it's 'shoestring' on the menu. It was a huge portion and definitely shareable. I would definitely go back here again and try other items on the menu. read more

Went in for a quick chicken shawarma sandwich and waited awhile until we got our food. First off, it's not authentic but a really good sandwich. In my opinion a bit salty. You will be thirsty for awhile. The staff I believe needs an attitude check and take some sort of customer service course. They don't smile and they look like they are miserable at work. I blame ownership for that. Typically when the owner takes care of his or her staff they show it by delivering exemplary customer service. read more

GREAT SHAWARMA! All I can say! Super fresh and super fast service. Huge portion of chicken inside each sandwich and it never disappoints. This location does have a bar area so you could simply order a shawarma and have a beer if you wanted to. Super friendly staff. Parking lots is located in the back in case there is no parking on the street. Back to the shawarma. IT AMAZING! One of the best I've ever had read more

Best shawarma wraps ever. Super big and full of flavor A+++ I will definitely be back again

I waited 20 minutes for cold Chicken Schwarma's. The ones I received today are not the same Chicken Schwarma's from a few years ago, Bucharest has went from Great to just "good" and the price has risen from $26 to $31.75 for a 6-pack of Schwarma's. I miss the good old days read more

I am blown away at the disregard. I thought maybe it was the first encounter but noooooo My hopes were crushed when I walked in and sat at the bar by myself. Maybe they thought i was waiting for someone to join me but a napkin, a hello, a nod of assurance would have been just fine. So I go over to the registers in hopes to at least order my food....was I guess greeted by Ari....Ariel. Thank you for bringing me down a peg! I felt like I didn't matter. During my encounter with her, She asked was I dining in or out. I said I was hoping to dine in but no one helped me at the bar or even looked my way. Oh well...was her body language and her speech said nothing to address my feelings. Bad attitude. Maybe she was having a bad day. I aLways have high hopes for places and rarely give bad reviews. Been here more than once and not feeling the love at This location in particular. Food still good but if you have high hopes Of consumer experience....look elsewhere or check yourself at the door. 3 stars because the food is consistent...just brace yourself if you think you will be welcomed and treated with some decency! read more

Nice location. This is the 4th Bucharest Grille I have had the pleasure of visiting. It is consistent with the rest of the locations without losing their personality. We walked up to order and found a spot to sit. They had a large garage door open with a screen down to shade s bit but let in a breeze. I ordered a chicken stick which I had expected to be more of a kabob but it is really a pita wrap, mini skinny version of their shawarma wraps. Still, there was enough of everything to feel full. The vegetables in my side salad were fresh. Side salad has no lettuce, more like a village salad. Others in my party of 9 had various wraps, a couple burgers and everyone was happy. We had 3 kiddo who all ate their food hooray! Bathrooms were clean and had interesting door latches. They serve beer here too but we did not partake. read more

The staff has no brains at all. Ordered a delivery 3 blocks away and the driver can't function without a phone. I gave them directions 3 times. Make a left on Cass go 3 blocks and make a right. Very very simple but unable to get a delivery because the driver is confused. If you deliver downtown you should at least know the surrounding are within a few blocks. I'm working in this large LCA parking garage. You can see garage from the restaurant. read more

I really enjoy the newest location with the full bar. I always try to get something different and I have never had anything that I don't love. The chicken shawarma sandwich is the best. I also like the chicken fattoush salad which has so much chicken that it takes many bites before you get to the first piece of lettuce. The hummus and garlic is amazing. read more

Although it took a minute to receive our meal after ordering, the falafel gyro and falafel salad were wonderful. (I do wish the salad came with some more toppings or a yogurt based taziki). We also got a side of hummus which was happily a very large portion! Great stop for a casual meal with family or friends. read more

I didn't know there was multiple locations, perhaps the original location is better? Lots of social media hype around this place. We ordered beef shawarma, the Rubin shawarma and chicken quesadillas. The chunks of meat in the beef sandwich were so huge and chewy and the flavor honestly sucked. The Ruben wrap was nasty. The corned beef tasted cheap and had a smoked flavor. Both wraps were soggy and dripping with liquid. Took a small taste from each and trashed them. The quesadillas had a lot of chicken in them and while those were "ok" I didn't care for the char taste to the chicken inside as it took over the entire flavor. Two stars because I feel they are generous with the portions of food for the price, but the food honestly was terrible. Far better middle eastern places that will serve up an honest and delicious shawarma sandwich without all the hype. Another over rated Detroit dud in my book. Pictures enclose read more

Sandwich's aren't the same as when this place was closers to Tigers stadium. Lacks fries in the Bucharest sandwich, and they no longer warm up bread so when you receive feels like it's a cold sandwich. The customer service is horrible wait staff consist of young adults with no knowledge of the menu or how to fix an error. No grown up adult manager on site. Bartender learning to mix drinks as the days go by. Another place that's grown but forgot customer service training and set standards on employees. The sandwiches alone aren't enough to bring me back. Sorry not sorry. read more

Atmosphere was hectic but it was a friday afternoon- everything tasted like garlic and i asked for no garlic. I ordered a shawarma, pita bread, and salad. Even the sprite tasted like garlic. OH HECKY NAW!!! Really wanted to like this place because I LOVE Mediterranean food! read more

Delicious food! Probably the best falafel I've ever eaten. The sauce on the chicken Shwarma was on point. Food was delicious, service was fine, food came out fast and it had a nice atmosphere. Would eat here again! read more

Chicken Shawarma was right on point. Good food at very reasonable price. This will be a go-to whenever I am in town.

Haven't received my order yet but it's 20 minutes late. This is the second time I came here and there was a problem. They are slow and unorganized. The food is usually good but if you have a schedule to keep this is not the place to go. read more

I placed an order, paid with my credit card, now no one answers the telephone and I have no idea where my food is. I don't know what they're up do, but it isn't real good. read more

Still the best shwarma and fries in the city! My tastebuds are always ready. Amazingly quick service even when busy.

Our must stop place any time we're passing through Detroit to the airport. Love the Detroit soda and the falafel quesadilla!

Placed an order for delivery to my work place .. we had to use DoorDash for delivery per Bucharest .. order received with missing items nobody is taking any responsibility.. I understand mistakes happen but now we stuck with no food and attitude from the worker at Bucharest.. everyone passing blame .. but my stomach still growling no option but to order again I don't think so .. I don't recommend using delivery if the order can not be fixed . read more

Let me start by saying COVID-19 had nothing to do with the fact that the employees can't seem to count to 4. We placed a counter order here after finding out the hard way that the corktown location had closed...we ordered 4 chicken shawarmas, one salad and 2 curly fries. While the sign by the door says "check your order -we are not responsible after you leave the premises" we didn't check, I'll admit that, but at the corktown location this had never been an issue-and we have got carry out there too many times to count. Regardless when we got home we had 2 shawarmas, 2 fries and a salad (no dressing, but a salad )...so that was a bust with 5 people eating-thanks Bucharest-appreciate it. Oh and by the way the girls taking orders could be slightly more personable-like maybe greet people and ask them what they want to order instead of just staring at them until the customer figures out it's ok to just start ordering-makes it just a bit awkward. read more

I have to agree with Amie D. We were so looking forward to eating at Bucharest after over a year, but we ended up very disappointed. Both of our shwarmas had cold chicken and the pita bread was soggy. I hardly ever complain about food in a restaurant but I really wanted the shwarma I was used to so I asked them to remake them. The remakes came out exactly the same. Cold chicken and with soggy pita like it had been sitting around and not made fresh. I also asked for sport peppers in the sandwiches and it used to be whole peppers but now it is like a relish or something. Maybe that added to the sogginess, I don't know, but the old way was better. Maybe it was just a bad day for them. I hope they didn't change their procedures and are adding precooked cold chicken on purpose. I'll give it another shot next time I'm downtown and update the review. read more

Delicious, friendly fast service, clean, modern decor and the list goes on! By far the absolute BEST Chicken Shawarma you could ever imagine! read more
