The meat, chicken, and beef, is so tough, it is not chewable. The meat used to be scrumptious and tender. The meat should be changed back to the quality it was when it was scrumptious. read more

I love Bucharest Grill - large portions, tasty food, good prices. What's there to complain about? I ordered a chicken shawarma salad for my lunch today off of Grubhub. The menu price is $11.95 but there was a minor upcharge using a delivery app. The food took FOREVER but I believe it was the fault of the driver. The salad was tasty and they were super generous with the amount of chicken. I was starving by the time it was delivered and I still couldn't come close to finishing it. I also ordered a side of toum for about $1 and it was a tasty addition. I wish they gave a bit of pita with the salad but it's so cheap that I can't blame them for not including it. The salad was fresh and the chicken was tender and cooked well. Dressing was a little underwhelming but it was still yummy despite it. Overall would absolutely order again! Highly recommend for a good, reasonably healthy lunch. read more

Bucharest Grill - Large Chicken Shawarma Salad ($12) - Middle Eastern Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

you are a middle eastern restaurant that consistently serves stale pita bread. Throw out the day-old garbage, it is quite gross.

Got chicken shawarma sandwich and it was just okay. I got it without mayo. I'm glad I read the menu closely because I hate mayo and the idea of putting it on shawarma is repulsive. read more

Bucharest Grill - Chicken Shawarma - Middle Eastern Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

I went to the Bucharest many times when it was in the Park Bar. Even like the one in RO. The people in this one were so so rude. I asked twice for my food on the back counter and the woman would not help me. She called several people's numbers who came after me and then when I asked about my number she lied and said it wasn't ready. Obviously when we got our food it is was cold. And the salad was quite disgusting. read more

Decent shawarma (hit or miss), service needs improvement, not welcoming nor accommodating.

The Bucharest Grill at the Livernois location has poor customer service. Tonight, August 21, I called in an order for a Chicken Shawarma Salad. The one of the female employees, who had a noticeable attitude, called my name...I said "yes" and started walking towards her. She placed my order on the counter turned and walked away. She did not say "thank you" or "enjoy your salad" nor did she confirm that that was my order. A smile does not cost anything. There was another female employee who was friendly. She called the names, waited for the customer to come up to her then she greeted the customers and confirm their order. Because of her, I changed my one star rating to a two star rating. read more

Needing to grab something to eat before work we stopped in and grabbed the best chicken shawarma's in the world! We ordered ahead so they were ready upon arrival. This location was nice and clean and the service great. Can never go wrong coming here. read more

Great chicken Schwarma! Disappointed that every time I have tipped in advance the staff giving my order has never acknowledged it. They may not know but if so, a simple thank you. I guess some communication when handing a carry out bag, a smile would be nice. read more

These shawarmas are not wrapped properly, leaving things continually spilling out. If this was cheap food, I wouldn't complain. Come on. This isn't subway. Please do better. read more

First of all I have to say this place is VERY clean, like some must be sweeping and mopping every 10 mins here because I haven't seen a place that clean during lunch hour in awhile. Anyways I ordered the Lamb Shwarma and a Fatoosh Salad and it was VERY good. Everything was crisp on the salad and the Shwarma, the onions the green peppers and the lettuce itself was all very crisp and the onions on the shwarma were also crisp for the price I thought this better be a good shwarma but when I seen the size of it I understood. This is a very good establishment and everyone here is hard at work. read more

The chicken quesadilla is 10/10, the service is always fast and always a clean environment. Very nice people.

How is it possibly for the staff to be so unfriendly? Would it hurt to say Hello.. or can I help you? As I stood right in front of the girl at the counter- she just stared with a dead face. I stood there so confused and felt like I was inconveniencing her for just walking in. You can see into the kitchen and Everyone has a dead look in their eyes. Is everyone okay? I felt I gave them better customer service as a patron. read more

Takes pretty long to get the food. Not a very clean space. Service is minimum. The falafel shawarma is very salty. The beef one is much better. read more

There's definitely a reason this place has so many terrible reviews. The quality of the food and the service isn't going to change unless people stop spending money here. Because of the lack of quality dining options in the university district, they stay busy. But that doesn't mean they get high volume based on customer satisfaction. Never again. read more

It's the best food in detroit. Easy hands down. Nothing beats it. Everything about it. 100% fire! Let's go!!! DETROIT. BUCHAREST. SIMPLY AMAZING. Why haven't you ordered some already? Why are you still reading this? It's FIIIIIIIIIRE! read more

Chicken swarma salad very good to me staff can be rude at times. But it's the only thing I order to go . I never sit down and sometimes this can place can be pretty packed . read more

I got a chicken shawarma salad. Generous portion of chicken & a wonderful lemony oil dressing. It was the perfect size and I'm not sure if it comes with pita, but I ordered 2 pitas and I got 6 (which I was very very happy about) I will definitely be back! read more

Bucharest Grill - Chicken Shawarma Salad - Middle Eastern Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

This is for your Picquette location. Just friendly customer service advice. We are still not sure if Covid 19 is entirely over. It was very troubling walking into your establishment yesterday, and it was extremely filthy. More disturbing was the staff standing around talking and not making sure the store entrance was presentable. It was a spill when I entered the door where the free magazines sat. I felt like I was going to fuss like it was my house! I had to realize that I couldn't check them. Long story short & short story long....it was very untidy and unwelcoming. I am glad that I didn't wake up with food poisoning because I was very nervous about how the kitchen looked. Do better management -- that restaurant looked like a high school lunchroom. read more

I love this place. I always get the lamb shawarma and house salad. Be prepared to smell like garlic for about a day but it's worth it. I ordered from this place every Friday for about a month. Service is pretty swift. I ate inside once or twice which was cool. There's usually someone inside the restaurant selling desserts with are also good!!! read more

Bucharest Grill is probably my favorite Mediterranean food AROUND! I love that they have so many locations in and around Detroit, just wish there were more closer to me, but it's SO worth the drive. Their garlic sauce is insane. They are so generous with their portions & filling. Their pita is thin, but I love it. It's soft / soggy where juices are absorbed, but also crispy in other places, so it's wonderful. And the prices are UNBEATABLE! You get such a bang for your buck, I'm obsessed. Every time I go to Bucharest, because it's a bit of a drive and because it's so good and cheap, I normally buy at least 3 wraps (they also have a great deal for 6 I recently found out!) because they keep really well in the fridge too, so I can pop them into the toaster or microwave for a lunch or dinner in the following days to come. My favorites are the Chicken Shawarma, Bucharest Shawarma (bc they put fries in hehe, but these don't reheat as well also bc of the fries), Schnitzel Plate, and the Garlic Spread (you get so much!)! Just writing this review is making me crave Bucharest so much! I might have to go and get some TOMORROW!!! read more

I love this location as I love all the others. Yum! We usually get chicken shawarmas, but today I got the steak salad and it was delicious. Perfectly cooked, well-seasoned, fresh, fast. read more

Bucharest Grill - Steak salad. Yum! - Middle Eastern Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

Every time I come home I'm definitely leaving back with food. There are several locations I normally go to Livernois location. This location is along Fashion Ave along this strip you have more trendy restaurants and shop. Food- wonderfully season with that Middle Eastern spice. Food cooked fresh. I also get the chicken shawarma and a chicken shawarma salad. The dressing is a simple oil and vinegar with lot of meat. The sandwich is the same no need to order for fries because the sandwich is enough! The one this about this location is that parking can be challenging. It's better to have someone with you and call ahead. read more

Loved their chicken shawarma! Very tasty and SUPER FILLING. I was disappointed with the pita bread, but I still ate it lol. Didn't taste as fresh as I would have liked. I didn't get it this time around, but the chicken shawarma salad is SO GOOD!!!!! read more

Fast service + so much food for your $. I love the food here. Very tasty and cheap. I advise calling ahead if you're ordering takeout. There's seating available as well if you'd like to dine in. This restaurant has a casual atmosphere. Parking isn't the best. Free street parking is available, but not ideal for a quick grab and go. I highly recommend the chicken shawarma and the chicken shawarma salad. Both under $10. There's multiple convenient locations around the Detroit area. There's a new location opening in Royal Oak soon. read more

Bucharest Grill - Chicken shawarma Salad - Middle Eastern Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

There was a time Bucharest was delicious, always fresh, and the only game in town for Mediterranean food. I went to Bucharest with a friend as I no longer pick them first because there is better food and service elsewhere for Mediterranean. My chicken shawarma was awful. The chicken was okay (nothing like before) but to couple okay chicken with lightly brown edged lettuce, soggy tomatoes (only at the bottom of the sandwich) one pickle (that was okay) and the bread was soggy from the garlic. I guess they gave me an old sandwich. I wonder how I received an old sandwich when I ordered from the car and immediately went in picked up my sandwich when they said it was done. This isn't the only Mediterranean in town anymore someone may need a reminder. I'm addition the people at the front desk aren't pleasant at all, the impression is giving they don't care about the customers or the service level. I won't be back to this location and possibly not back to Bucharest. read more

If this was based on just the taste of the shawarma and the value for the money I would have given 4 or 5 stars. These shawarmas seemed how they used to be-packed full of chicken and a great price for the size of the sandwich; they had seemed to shrink in size over the last couple years but they also raised the price from $5.50 to $7.85 so they need to be packed full. The reason for the 2 star review is that 2 of the 3 shawarmas we ordered had chicken bones in them....like a good inch or so long skinny chicken bone. That was NOT a pleasant experience...made it difficult to eat the rest of the sandwich. Gross ... read more

Bucharest Grill has taken over Detroit with now several locations to choose from. There is seemingly one close by wherever you are in the city. The great thing about that, is not only the convenience, but rather the quality and taste remains the same at each location. The chicken shawarma wrap is the darling of the menu, with its succulent grilled bird and palette tantalizing garlic sauce. What I like most about the wrap is the juicy pickles which balance all of that good-for-you garlicky goodness. My favorite item on the menu, however, is the ribeye steak salad. It's chock full of meaty goodness, with a decent quality steak for the small price. My steak is always cooked as I order it, juicy with just the right amount of fat left on it. I know, I know...fat isn't good for folks...whatevs! The salad also has dark leafy lettuce, red onion, green bell pepper, cucumber and pita chips. It's a very filling balanced meal, and so yummy. This location has limited seating for dining in, and limited parking on the busy Avenue of Fashion on Livernois between Outer Drive amd Pembroke. There is a large waiting area with seats in the window. The young ladies who work there are aways nice and efficient. I love the concept of each of the restaurants, which allows you to see inside the busy kitchens. I don't know how they stay out of one another's space. The menu has plenty of options for everyone including beef shawarma wraps, corned beef wraps, hummus, veggie shawarma wraps, falafel wraps, burgers & sliders, stuffed peppers, and grape leaves. Seems that the most expensive items are the ribeye dinner and ribeye salad at an unexpected $11.95 each. read more

Excellent food and very good service every time I go. Thank you! The next time I'm gonna cater a party with Bucharest Grill. read more

The cashier are rude over the phone and in person. They need to get some pleasant employees some adults that need a job. Chicken was burnt.

Bucharest: we know it, we love it... we accept the garlic breath. Bucharest was a huge staple when I was in college at Detroit Mercy, and we didn't even have this location available to us at the time. I can only imagine how great it would have been to have it right down the road! I like this location a lot - it's big, has quite a bit of seating, and the food is (of course) excellent as we've come to expect from Bucharest. My go-tos are the chicken shawarma and the falafel wrap. The chicken shawarma is obviously a staple, and it's amazing. I'll highlight the falafel a little bit: the vegetables that Bucharest puts in their falafel wrap are what make it. I don't think I've had a falafel anywhere else around here where they include fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, and green peppers - and FETA?? It takes it to another level. I usually add garlic to it as well, because I would feel like I didn't truly come to Bucharest if I didn't leave with garlic on my breath. One note: sometimes service can be a little slow, so don't walk in at peak dinner time and expect your food to be done in less than 5 minutes. But I promise it's worth the wait. read more

Them lil b***he's rude af up there. I swear I would go to this location if it wasn't around the corner. They're so rude i refuse to tip or dine in smh. Food is ok but you'd get better customers services from a blind mute with no hands read more

Great service and fresh! I had the best shawarma here. I relished all day. Nice atmosphere and crowd falafel was so good. Firm Patties not messy grounded. I enjoyed my experience! read more

Workers are horribly rude and unhelpful. Food quality lagging now too... :/ find another place. It used to be great. It's not.

Stopped into this location to grab some shawarmas while on that side of town. My cousin and I placed our separate orders. She ordered a salad. I ordered a shawarma box with curly fries and an additional shawarma. One shawarma was minus tomato, the other had no pickle with feta added. Simple or so I thought. Multiple parties came in ordered and received their order after I'd placed mine. What should've taken 10, 15 minutes tops took almost an hour. No explanation or apology offered for the delay. The two occasions I inquired about the order I was simply told it wasn't ready. As a fan of Bucharest since the days on Elizabeth, I'll remain one. This location is a no go for me. read more

Stopped in twice while on the trip to the D....food was ok service was ok. Having individuals who are knowledgeable about ingredients such as non dairy products would be beneficial to those who are vegetarian. The show stopper was Carrots With a Twist. As individuals ordered their meal they transitioned right to the dessert table. Otherwise happy customer, will return again for the falafel shawarma! read more

Really a 3.5. It was my first time eating here. I ordered a chicken shwarma and a lamb shwarma box. The fries in the box were tasty. The lamb shwarma was EXTREMELY greasy. It was delicious, but greasy. My mother enjoyed her chicken. No issues with cleanliness, friendliness of the cashier, or the time it took to get the food read more

I've never had a bad experience with this restaurant. You may have a waiting issue due to the number of customers that enter the location at one time but you don't mind because the young people are efficient and the food is well worth the wait. read more

Very disappointed, because I love their downtown location. I never thought I'd say this with a salad, but there was barely any lettuce in my Shwarma salad. 99% chicken and veggies. Don't get me wrong that's fantastic, unless you actually want a salad. The other part I was not happy with was customer service. Not sure what's up with this place but everybody was super cold and appeared just miserable to be working there - that rubbed off on the customers and how they interacted with them. Love the downtown location but this one needs a lot of help. read more
