    Chicken Shawarma Salad
    Chris D.

    We were working in town and came back here for the chicken shawarma salad for lunch. It is so good! The counter staff were nice and helpful. The restaurant can get pretty busy, but they keep it clean. Great job!

    Came in to pick up an order I called in, my food was ready when I arrived. I got a chicken shawarma and it was delicious. The restaurant is right next to a parking lot and I was able to park on the street for easy access.

    We stopped here for dinner before a show at the Fisher because I knew it would be quicker than typical sit-down service. I'm so glad we did! The ambiance was fun and friendly. As someone who easily gets anxiety ordering at new places, I felt perfectly at ease here. I love that they offered Detroit sodas but also had Coke products. (I was a big fan of the Detroit root beer and lemonade.) Ordering was easy. Staff were polite when bringing the food to the table. I sat in a booth and wish I had snapped a picture but they're high-top booths and I looooove that they have a bar for your feet/a footrest. Sometimes my body doesn't like my feet dangling for too long but this was perfect and I was comfortable for the entire meal. I ordered "shoestring fries" and they looked completely normal size, not skinny. They were delicious nonetheless! I tried the curly fries and they were also yummy! Shawarma sandwiches were pretty messy. Don't unwrap the whole thing from the foil or else the goods will drop out of the bottom of the pita. I also wish I had snagged a fork before I sat down. Overall, it was awesome and I look forward to stopping by again in the near future.

    Stopped in after running the 5k in the D and man this place has great food. I ordered the chicken shawarma and it was huge and very full of chicken! I was also amazed of the draft beer selections in here, they had quite of few of really good beers! Our bar tender was super nice and helpful. The place is very open and has plenty of seating.

    Bucharest is a longtime favorite of mine. I enjoy their Chicken Shawarma with extra tomato & garlic sauce. I also add feta cheese to mine. When I'm not desiring to have pita bread, I'll have the Chicken Shawarma Salad instead. Both options are freshly prepared to order and packed with flavor.

    This place never disappoints! The flavors are on point, the portions are large and more importantly the prices are amazing. It's not necessary easy to get a beer to enjoy with middle eastern cuisine, and that's another reason why we like to come to the Bucharest Grill.

    Lamb and chicken Shawarma

    This is a great spot to pick up some quick food that also tastes delicious. This was the one spot that was recommended to me by multiple people. The staff was very nice and she told me her recommendations as well. We wanted to try the chicken and lamb shawarma which she was able to combine for us. We liked how there was a lot of garlic in the sauce and the chicken and lamb was delicious. They were soft and cooked very well. For a quick grab and go spot, this is great!

    Chicken Shawarma and curly fries

    I came to Detroit for a one nighter and was looking for thing different. Got recommended this place and OMG it was delicious. I had a simple meal (chicken shawarma) and curly fries. I thought it was simple until I took that first bite. The chicken was flavored perfectly and juicy too! The fries were crispy and moist. Plus they had Detroit style pop which was good. The ladies behind the register were friendly and took care of me and my team. Definitely coming back!

    Hummus with veggies
    Sarah W.

    I mean I've been to Bucharest quite a bit and have never been disappointed. Just popping on here to share the beautiful hummus we got on Saturday. Loved all the veggies that it was served with. It was crazy busy time for them but the food and service were great.

    Stopped in to get some take out after a show downtown. Good but not the best I had. The lamb shawarma was very greasy.

    After Lafayette, I decided to come here. I read about the "Detroit Slider Spots" and Telway was…read moreone of, if not the most old school one I had read about. I pulled up to the lot, walked inside and ordered 2 cheeseburgers. You pay the man and then go around the corner to pick up your food through the bullet proof glass thingy. I grabbed my cheeseburgers and went to my car. How were they? Good! Cheeseburgers- These things are pretty small. Think McDonalds cheeseburger size, maybe a bit smaller. They come with a meat patty, cheese, grilled onions and ketchup and mustard. It was a tasty little meal to end the night. I definitely could have ate more if I just didn't eat some coney dogs 30 min before. The man collecting the money and the lady making the burgers were both real nice! I drove back by here during the day, and it looks way less ghetto than what I thought it looked like after midnight lol. Would definitely stop back by if I was hungry late night in Detroit.

    I go to Detroit frequently and have made sure to go to Telway Hamburgers each time I am there…read more I don't know quite what it is about those burgers with the steamed onions, mustard, and ketchup but it all just works. I am not even from Detroit but the smell of this establishment is nostalgic and I visit once a year or so. I wanna say Detroit or the Midwest is the home of the small steamed onion burger renaissance.

    Oh my God. The food is so good. Service is phenomenal. I need to give the chef compliments. Nope,…read morecompliments isnt ENOUGH. I need to give the chef HEAD.

    I don't know where to begin. I'm a huge Pulp Fiction fan, so Royale with Cheese was an easy…read morestop--especially with a downpour rolling in. I had just gotten into Detroit from NJ and was debating hitting the Tigers vs. Red Sox game that night, but decided to slow it down, walk around, and grab a real meal instead of rushing it. The place sits at a 4.2 on Yelp and leans into the film's iconic line. After checking out photos, I was all-in on getting a burger--but ended up pivoting. Walking in, it's clean with a rustic vibe. On the left, two large monitors cycle through the menu (a little fast, honestly), but the QR code helps you actually read it without pressure. You order at the counter, pay, grab a number, and they bring the food to your table. Simple, smooth setup. The menu's full of character-inspired names, which is a nice touch. I went with the Royale Fries & Brisket--seasoned fries topped with 18-hour smoked brisket, smoked Gouda cheese fondue, coleslaw, and honey-ancho BBQ sauce. Good move, especially since I wasn't in the mood for a bun. The brisket had great flavor but could've been a bit more generous. The fries, though, carried. They had that curly-fry-style seasoning (even if they didn't fully commit to the curl), and the combo of BBQ, slaw, and Gouda worked. I'd come back just for that. I was ready to skip dessert... until I saw people walking out with shakes. Not a huge selection, but cereal-inspired flavors--CEREAL. I got the Cinnamon Toast Crunch shake. Easy recommendation. On the way out, I grabbed a s'mores cookie and saved it for later that night. Soft, gooey center, marshmallow, Hershey's chocolate in the middle, and a full graham cracker on the bottom. I've had s'mores cookies in NYC and back home in NJ--this one hit. Really good. Staff was friendly and easygoing. Quick story: there's a sign telling you not to touch the cookies because the marshmallow sticks to the wrapper. I asked about it, got the explanation... and still did it anyway. Ended up scraping (and yeah, licking) it off. Zero regrets. Shoutout to the chefs, owners, and staff. Solid 4 stars--great food overall, but could use a little more brisket and the theme doesn't go quite as far as it could.
