I was looking for someplace my students could eat for lunch during a recent field trip and decided on Bucharest's Jefferson location. Thankfully, the staff was very accommodating despite the number of unexpected guests/orders. A fryer was down and delayed those orders with fries. The time waiting was happily filled with the kids enjoying desserts from Carrot Cake with a Twist. Although many had never had Bucharest before, the group left completely satisfied having enjoyed their new experience. So grateful for the grace given to our group. read more

Everyone knows that I love BUCHAREST, I eat it during the entire summer for I am a beach bum. Excellent light meal for Belle Isle. I went to Jefferson and I must say this is the 1st time in years that I am disappointed. My chicken shawarma for 10:30 am on a Saturday morning was hard ( the wrap tasted like it had been out since the night before ) to eat at 11:30 am. My salad had shredded feta, they changed from crumbled feta. I don't eat shredded, but for $1.00 up charge. ‍ I still will enjoy without any feta moving forward. My mouth was just watering for a fresh shawarma..... and I guess I need to eat when it is busy to get fresh... I even called my order in, I thought that would help bring that I have been using that number for years for Bucharest. read more

Had their beef and lamb shawarmas, both was good with a lot of meat on it for what youre paying

Mannn yall ain't hip to the stuffed bell peppers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Them boys super fire with some hot sauce. And you gotta get the chicken swarm stix read more

We were visiting Detroit and wanted something we've never had before so we picked this place for a door dash delivery. We got a steak and chicken shawarma wrap. Chicken nuggets and a lamb stick. That steak shawarma was so good. The flavor was amazing and the steak was easy to chew. The nuggets were grilled pieces of perfection. We split the wrap it was so big. I wasn't crazy about the lamb stick but I'm used to roasted lamb without all the added spices. I took the chicken wrap back home and the leftover nuggets and ate on it for a couple days. The chicken shawarma was good too but not like that steak was. Now I am on a quest to find shawarma around my town. Can't wait to return so I can get this again. read more

They always give ample chicken but I'm more of a veggie person. Even after requesting and paying for extra greens, I did not get them. The green peppers are tasting like pestiside instead of a fresh vegetables. The newly packaged olive oil dressing is more vinegary AND no ingredients are on the dressing packaging. Overall, I'd still patronize Bucharest but it will be more infrequently. read more

Doordashd it. Chicken schwarma was great. Flavorful. Fresh. There are pickle spears inside! Curly fries were flavorful. Well seasoned. Salad was not expected with no lettuce but I liked it! Fresh ingredients. Beef schwarma stick was ok. A bit heavy in the salt for my taste. Maybe would've been different if I had it fresh at the restaurant. Overall good and I would return. read more

Grabbed a beef Schwarma before going to a concert at the Aretha Franklin. Pretty good but I think I would try the lamb next time. The beef was a bit chewy. read more

Bucharest Grill - Mediterranean Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

This is definitely a to-go or hang with your friends place to eat, but the food - spectacular. One of the best shawarma s I've had. And the garlic sauce- it had me licking my fingers. So no ambience but get the food to go and you will be so happy you ordered from Bucharest. read more

Awful food, lamb was tough and greasy Grape leaves were soggy and greasy, terrible, the shawarma sandwich fell apart from all the grease and tugging on the rubber texture of the lamb read more

I've been a fan of Bucharest Grill since the original location. While the feel of the original location cannot be duplicated, the taste, freshness and quality of the food remains the same. Their Chicken Shawarma sandwich is unmatched. read more

Just went to Bucharest yesterday evening and ordered 3 lamb shawarmas and they sucked! They were nothing but fat! I will never go to the Jefferson location downtown Detroit again! And the girls that took the order were very rude! Not recommended read more

Very very busy location. The staff here is pretty cool, at least most of them. It can take a minute for your order to come to the window, I always call ahead. But the food is always delicious. The price is right, and there is no cheese in the wraps. That's a big plus for me. read more

Just as good as when I had it over 5 years ago. Hard to locate with the way the exterior sign is displayed vertically. Tons of seating inside as well as a cake shop. I couldn't help myself and got the banana cheesecake pudding. Ordered the Chicken Shawarma and Bucharest Shawarma to go. The Bucharest version is the best with crunchy fries inside and cabbage instead of lettuce. Wrapped in foil, it's the easiest sandwich to eat on the drive home. Juicy chicken and affordable quick to go lunch - 2 sandwiches for $20. read more

I recently ate there before a Tigers game. The food the is great and the staf is terrific.

We live around the block . We were walking and stop in for the first time . Just got a simple lamb shawarma box and water . I lived in East Dearborn for over 30 years . The shawarma I had from this place is the best I have had not from an east Dearborn restaurant. This was Excellent! Service a 10; place was spot less!!! The team work we observed you can tell , they are a great team . Manager, is doing excellent job!!! Fell in love with this place. We will now stop in during our walks . Thank you , everyone for a great experience!!' read more

The fattoush didn't have any sumac so it lacked any of the tangy flavor that the dish is known for. The lamb on top was juicy but also almost too greasy: Service is ok and the vibe of the place is very minimalist. read more

A very good Mediterranean restaurant. There's a reason there is multiple locations, it's delicious. My sister used to work near here and this was one of her favorite places to eat. I'm impressed by the size and the taste of the chicken schwarma. The hummus with vegetables was delicious also and both dishes were picture perfect also. read more

I have had shawarma all over the metro detroit area, and most of it is really good, but I was reminded today after not having Bucharest for about 8 or 9 years that the have THE BEST chicken shawarma anywhere in metro detroit, and that is saying something. I just found out they opened one a few miles from me today. WOO HOO! I wish I could give a 10/10. read more

There's stuffed peppers quesadillas are amazing I have been to several locations and have loved my meal each and every time.

When Bucharest opened they were great but much like Kalamata Grill they are on a fast track to going out of business. The quality & serivce are going down hill quick. I had several simple ordered screwed up and last night when I arrived home with my salad, it was a mix of brown lettuce. I tossed it out. read more

Every time I'm back in the office, we order carryout from this location at least once (sometimes twice) for lunch. The chicken shawarma sandwiches and salads are HUGE. The marinade that they use for the chicken is packed with flavor and amazing. There's always a slight char on the chicken too, which I love. Their hummus and garlic dips are some of the best I've had. I've never had a bad meal here. read more

While visiting Detroit, my co-workers ordered food to go and brought it back to the boathouse we were all working at. They said that Bucharest is well-known in Detroit, but they hadn't tried it yet. Love to check something like that off our bucket list! I got the steak salad and really loved the dressing that came with it. It was like a more interesting version of olive oil. The salad was LOADED with good steak. So much that I couldn't even finish it. We also got warm hummus and pita, as well as curly fries galore. My friends got falafel wraps that looked delicious as well. This is a great option to snag on the go and they have several locations around Detroit! read more

The food is good. Cheap for a great meal. The reviews are dumb, they don't have a sensible idea how to review a restaurant, unlike me... MAC. Lamb js mid but chicken is king. Makes me want to pull out my happy dance. read more

My husband likes this place for shawarma. I recommend sticking to the chicken or even the Greek veggie. But the lamb was cooked with less heat than my liking and the first bite was a mouth full of fat read more

We had the chicken shawarma wrap, they are delicious, we have tried many different restaurants and the Bucharest Grill is amazing, the most flavorful Mediterranean food compared to all the other places I've been to, the house salad is also delicious read more

Bucharest has the best shawarmas in the area In my opinion. I've been to many other restaurants for shawarma, and they fall short compared to them. I've only had the chicken shawarma and chicken shawarma salad from this location. Both are great, and that salad is enough for 2 to 3 servings. read more

Omg I wish I could buy the marinade they use for their chicken! It's so good!! I've been to this location multiple times. I like how big it is. You order at the counter and they bring your food to your table. They have the best chicken shawarma salad. They put soooo much chicken in it. It's so filling.. the small portion could feed 2 people. Also only like $6-7. The quesadilla sticks are really good. Also the fries are amazing. read more

I would have given a 5 star. But the young girls working the registrar's need to get off they're phone's so they can take your order correctly. Very disappointed that I had to go back a second time read more

Ordered a small chicken salad to go. When I opened the salad, most of the chicken was charred black and not edible. Tasted like they scraped what was left as they cleaned off the grill and put is on my salad., Surely the person who prepared this salad did not care about how it looked or tasted. I live to far to take it back, was not in the mood to hear excuses. I won't be coming back to this location. read more

My husband and I order a large chicken shawarma salad with extra pickles and pita chips, and split it. They give you so much chicken that we eat it for dinner and lunch again the next day. The shawarma sandwiches are great too! read more

1. Make sure that salad greens are DRY before prepping and boxing salad 2. Return to cutting chicken uniformly rather than in slivers and chunks . Cook chicken to done-ness without drying it out. Season chicken truly for shwarmas' sake. I should know I have a shwarma the minute I open the box or unwrap the wrap by the aroma right off the bat 3. Return to caring about the little things that make the biggest difference read more

Food taste terrible I grabbed a chicken shawarma and it was trash... I remember they used to be good when they were downtown read more

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

Ok don't be surprised but this is my first time at this location - I haven't had Bucharest and forever; on top of that normally someone else goes get the orders for me. But today was a special request from my mother and we had maybe a 15-minute wait it wasn't long but majority of people will do a call in and pick up. You are allowed to wait which they have a seating area or stand to the side I was highly surprised that inside there they had a bakery which was pretty cool. Today I decided to do a beef shawarm a but it was a little dry to me - they gave me plenty of meat though which I was happy about but I thought the meat will be at least a little bit more juicier. More likely I'll just stick to the chicken version. One size drink are $2 - refillable if you're waiting inside. (Self serviced) Happy Eating!!! read more

If you're from the Detroit area I'm sure you've heard the rave about Bucharest and it's well deserved! Always hot, generous, and quick! The shawarmas are filled with meat and made to order. A side order of fries is a whole takeout box and it's only $3! How can you beat that? I have been to all of the various locations and they're always packed, but the wait is never dramatic. read more
