This location is now my local favorite. It's less than 10 minutes from home and the service is excellent. I walked in around 5 p.m. and the food was made fresh, the cashier was super friendly, and the portions were plentiful for the price point. I was apprehensive about not going to Piquette as I usually would, but this location is easily my new favorite. I ordered a chicken shawarma salad with pickles, banana peppers, and feta cheese. I omitted the pita chips. However, I did order a side pita with small garlic. This is easily my favorite order. You'll thank me later. :) 10/10. read more

Even though it's an Express and a smaller shop, is still actually decently sizable. Its in a shopping area and there are a few other things you can walk around to. It's in his own shopping area so there's free parking. The service was pretty good. It was a little bit of a wait but it happens. The food was great. They don't miss on that! Chicken shawarma salad - The salad is excellent. The marinated chicken that they use for the wraps goes on a salad, and they're still marinated and so good that you won't even really need the dressing. I'm not really fond of the dressing, they does do anything for me but I could eat it alone without dressing or just use the garlic sauce as well. Either way, the salad is awesome. You also get a hell of a lot of it as well. The The regular and the large are like a couple of dollars different. So if you take the large for a couple of dollars more, you will definitely have food for later that day LOL! Ruben slider - The slider here was really really good. Everything was perfectly melted and the meat had premium taste to it. I should have ordered them more LOL. Chicken slider - This slider was really good. Of course it was overshadowed by the Reuben slider so that's kind of not fair, but this was still really good in tender. Curly fries - curly fries are really good and you got a lot of them. It was sitting in a box when I served it but they still were very crunchy and crispy. I love Bucharest just in general but this location was actually really good. There are a number of them but they all seem to be consistent so you know what you're getting every time you go! read more

Bucharest Grill - LG chicken salad - Middle Eastern Near Me - Royal Oak, Michigan

Ordered via DoorDash, food came quick. My coworkers order from this place at least once a week so I had high hopes, only for them to be crushed the moment I took my first bite. The Chicken Shawarma is advertised as having grilled marinated chicken, tomato, lettuce, pickles, mayo, garlic spread all wrapped up a pita. My disappointment comes with the filling of my wrap, there were 2 tiny strips of pickle, one piece of tomato, and maybe a tablespoon of garlic sauce (if that), and no mayo to my taste. What's worse than being skimped on the veggies is the fact that they were replaced with more chicken! I had to remove at least half off it just to stomach my wrap, but by that point the meal lost all of its appeal. Do better! People need vegetables (and more garlic sauce)! read more

Bucharest Grill - Chicken Shawarma - Middle Eastern Near Me - Royal Oak, Michigan

Bucharest is known for their oversized shawarmas, and as the name would imply, it's not your traditional middle eastern joint, but more a fusion, like the Bucharest shawarma which is stuffed with fries. Wraps a tad on the salty side. Fast casual setup. read more

Racist!! 2 girls at counter. I asked for my carry out. I was handed a bag and signed me to leave after giving my name. I said I NEED TO PAY. She said No, take your food. I did not pay on-line, I called in order. I assured her I hadn't paid... it got worse then. She started shifting her hips and more attitude. I asked if I was bothering her. I'm explaining that's not my food and I haven't paid. She rolled her eyes. I asked if im annoying her now... more attitude. I asked for manager. Another female employee was next to her when this was happening. They both went in back. The other female acted as if she was the manager. And gave me my total. I asked if that's all she had to say... she just stared at me. Out of nowhere THE REAL MANAGER ran up, ww had a conversation. But told him I will not be back. read more

Mary had a little not-so-lamb... whose fat congealed all over my salad but seriously, I want my $6.50 back for really awful "lamb." This is the fattiest and honestly most terrible lamb I've ever had-- reason being this meat doesn't taste like lamb at all. It tastes like beef with a spritz of lamb essence. But the lettuce is fresh and has a nice crisp to it onions too! I just have to rinse them off. One star because the food is edible. Two stars because the veggies are nice. Service was generic, nothing special. Ambiance rustic. Will I be back... mehhh... read more

This review is just a follow up of a previous review. I have been to this location before. It's in a strip mall with several other stores and food places. The service was good everyone was friendly, since this is an express location you have a lot of people who call in order. This is the closest location to Southfield. Like all the locations the food is always good and my must stop when I go back to Michigan. read more

Came here around 4pm and it wasnt busy, however it took 30min to get 3 shawarma and fries because almost every employee was on their phones. Lamb shawarma was very greasy and fatty and hard to chew. Everything else was pretty good. Would not recommend if you are in a hurry and I wouldn't get the lamb again. read more

I have been to the Detroit Bucharest locations before, a long time ago, and I was craving shawarma on my ride home from Portage today, so I stopped here for takeout. The good: -You get a lot for your money - I got the chicken shawarma, no lettuce, for $6.99, and I'm almost done eating it, as I write this review, and it's a lot of food. -They are FAST - this is kind of good and bad. I called the store when I had about 18 minutes left in my drive, and they said it would be ready in 5 minutes. I asked them to hold my order for 10 minutes (i.e., don't put in the order for an extra 10 minutes) because of that. -Additionally, when I showed up to the store, they were also fast in retrieving my order. -The sandwich itself is very good although their chicken is more charbroiled than I prefer. Lots of garlic. Could use more pickles. The meh: -The person on the phone was very brusque. When I arrived there were a LOT of cooks / counter people so maybe that's why (I'm sure they are busy). Overall I'd stop here again although Mr. Kabob is still my favorite in the area. I also used to really like Bucharest's curly fries - I didn't get fries this time but they are very good. read more

Bucharest Grill - Chicken shawarma minus lettuce. $6.99 which is a fair price. - Middle Eastern Near Me - Royal Oak, Michigan

It's hugely popular since it's right by Beaumont. It's a counter to order from and that's about it. There is a counter on the back wall while you wait. Total was $25.87. The salad wasn't that big, meat was so-so, not dry and not moist. Seasoning was also just okay. The hummus and chicken was also just decent. read more

the absolute rudest staff in the service industry. it's like they're taught to be as rude and unhelpful as they can possibly be. no "hello" no "thank you" they act like you are annoying them just be being there. it's quite incredible. must come from management. read more

The very best chicken Shawarma around. Everything else pales in comparison. Highly recommended! If you have not been there, you need to be.

Believe all of the 1-star reviews. It's a real thing. This place is garbage. They have more 1-stars than any other number. I watched my order get boxed up (it wasn't sitting around on their side ledge). Then I drove 7 minutes home. Everything in the box was barely room temperature. Point being... they put a bunch of crap food that was sitting around into the box that I pad $14 for. I've worked in enough restaurants to know that this was just some lazy S&*t. When I called to complain the girl on the phone told me that the "Bucharest wrap comes cold". Are you kidding me? It did come cold but noooooooo ma'am it's not supposed to be. What a joke. She told me to hold for the manager. The manager NEVER came to the phone. Save your money. Don't ignore the reviews on this place. Total garbage!!! read more

I placed my order and asked several times to make sure there was no pickles. She double checked and assured me there would be none. I waited for quite a while although there were only 2 other people waiting. My number was 196 and when I noticed, they were in 202! No apology, no urgency to correct it or anything. When they have it to me I had to remind them the 2 extra garlic sauces I paid for was not in the bag. No apology then either. I looked on my sandwich and it had -pickles on the outside. I get home and start eating and was was all over my sandwich? PICKLES! I usually love their food but clearly this location needs so work. I won't be back. I didn't give 1 star only because the salad was good. read more

The salads are great and they give you a big plenty of food I mean a lot of it .. you can take it home and eat it for later. The only negative is the area they are located.. it's in a shopping mall not a lot of parking spaces. The service was great had to wait because they were really busy read more

Small, counter-service shop with an expansive menu focused on Mediterranean street food. With the chicken shawarma, which we got, you get a pita fully stuffed with grilled marinated chicken , lettuce , tomato, pickle, mayo, and garlic spread - very filling for just $7. Very tasty and inexpensive! They also have beef, lamb, falafel, and vegetable options, too as well as salads, and appetizers such as Hummus. To find this location of Bucharest Grill Express, look across from the market next door to First Watch. read more

My order was incorrect. I called they immediately put me on hold and never came back to the phone

Went in with a mindset that I will enjoy the food and I left feeling the same way. I had always heard how good the food is and I was very pleased. Nice environment and quick service at a very good price. read more

We've ordered from Bucharest Grill a couple times now. I don't remember what I had last time, but I remember it being good. Today, I got the Trish's salad. OMG, it's so good! Tons of meat and feta on top of vegetables (no lettuce, though). It's fresh and tasty, and quite the value. We have added this into our rotation of places to get lunch. read more

Bucharest Grill - Beef Shawarma - Middle Eastern Near Me - Royal Oak, Michigan

Terrible experience. This location in particular has horrendous customer service. Folks on the phone are unprofessional and not courteous at all. Even worse in person. They gave our order away to someone else. Totally understand it happens sometimes, but they were unapologetic and didn't do anything to try and make it right. This is the third time something has gotten messed up in the very few times we order from here. Only good Bucharest is the one in Detroit. This place is a joke. read more

Your customers should be greeted when they enter....not AFTER they approach the counter. The young lady was on her phone AND had earbuds IN! A smile wouldn't hurt either. That is literally the WORST! The 1st item we ordered was totally missed by her because OF THE PHONE & EARBUDS!! Why in the world this behavior is allowed is absurd. The food is USUALLY good....the Nikki salad was ordered with extra chicken....received hardly any cabbage & MOSTLY chicken.....TERRIBLE. Probably not coming back & will probably run my mouth every chance I get. read more

The food is good, but the service in this location is not. I will only do online pick up where my food is ready when I get there so I will not have to deal with the unfriendly staff. Also, the "leadership" is no better. read more

When ordering online they add a 10% tip automatically. There is a lot of garlic sauce.

I've visited this location twice recently in order to pick up a DoorDash order that I put in for myself. I will absolutely not be returning. I wasn't greeted by a single worker on my first visit. No one even looked up at me. I had picked up an online order for myself previously over by the carryout section, so I headed there. Again, no one acknowledged me. Not a "hello", not a "how can we help you", nothing. The carryout worker had airpods in and didn't even look up at me, while both cashiers were texting/facetiming. Eventually after I interrupt a facetime call, they tell me that it's at the "online order" section. The supposed manager grabs my food from behind the counter with a snarky comment about "online orders here" added. Just a thought here, if you have an "online order" section, maybe put a sign. Put ANYTHING to direct people. Same experience the second time. It was a little busier this time, so maybe that's the issue? Nope, cashiers both texting. No acknowledgement while walking in. No communication. Snarky comment from the manager AGAIN. Dude, I can't fetch my food from behind the counter on my own. You have zero signage about online orders. Just treat the customer like a human being and get off of your phones. I used to enjoy the food here, but I'll defer to the Detroit location. A hint for the cooks/chefs/etc, you slice chicken against the grain. Every single time I have ordered at this location it's sliced with the grain and rubbery. NEVER again. read more

Let's just say this is the most convenient Bucharest to go to. The flavors are good has always. The chicken was tender and juicy which is very important and makes the shawarma all the better. The regular fries are just that - regular. Think I from now on I will stick with the curly fries. My son had the lamb shawarma and he was under impressed he was glad he got the beef as well. read more
