I've been here a couple times and always leave stuffed! They have generous portions - good value for what you pay. It's similar to middle eastern food, but they add more veggies to their sandwiches and hummus, like tomatoes and bell peppers. Here's the food I've had there: - Lamb shawarma: great flavor and a generous amount of meat, but a little salty - Falafel shawarma: great seasoning and texture for the falafel, loved the sauce, green peppers, and tomatoes (ordered without cucumber and onion) - Hummus had good flavor and I appreciated all the veggies with it, along with the pita bread slices The food comes out pretty quickly and they bring it to your table once it's done. There is a good amount of seating here to meet up with people and enjoy a meal together - it's pretty clean and spacious inside. Definitely recommend checking it out and trying a delicious shawarma sandwich! read more

My boyfriend had a craving for a salad and Shawarma so Bucharest it was. I had the Lamb Shawarma Wrap. It was definitely filling and probably could've been shared. Lamb was so full of flavor. Perfect amount of ingredients. The salad (large) was huge and had so much chicken. The dining area is very basic and cool at the dame time. They have concrete table tops. Very clean tables. Service was speedy and didn't have to wait long. read more

Nice place with spacious seating! We got the lamb and chicken shawarma; lamb was a bit too chewy for our liking but the chicken had a great flavor and was very fresh! Service is pretty minimal, but employees seemed nice. read more

First off they give a huge sandwich for the price. It was a super meaty and stuffed sandwich. Their prices are also very reasonable. The restaurant was clean, however I'm sorry it smelt like weed. It had a super strong smell of it. Outside of the weed smell, they had a lot of seating and many TVs with great shows/movies playing. I thought the sandwich was ok. The beef meat very salty. If it wasn't so salty I think I would like it better. I would definitely give them another try however. For the portion and prices you can't really beat it. read more

This is a nice and clean restaurant, with free parking, and plenty of things around. I absolutely love Bucharest. They have never let me astray. This used to be the old beans and cornbread so it's kind of set up like that, but they've done pretty good job with it. There's ample seating all around. So if you have a larger party it shouldn't be a big deal. The staff was really cool, no complaints there. But it depends on how busy they are, that's the important part. The chicken shawarma salad is a go-to for me. Also, the Reuben slider is really really good too. Actually just bought everything that they have. There, is good and consistent. Consistency matters because there are a number of other locations, but they all seem to follow the same rule book and produce equally as good food anywhere you go. read more

Let me start with saying that I remember when they had a counter inside a bar downtown on Elizabeth Street. Now they have many locations in and around Detroit. Nice to see business expanding for them. They have the biggest tastiest shawarma sandwiches!! I have tried other menu items but it's all about the shawarma. read more

Ordered the lamb Shawarma largest one I've ate in the metro area. Good taste done right

I have been to Bucharest before but not this location - I've been to one of the Detroit locations and also the Royal Oak one. The shawarma was always decent to me but never anything super special. Yesterday my husband and I were coming back from a show in Detroit and I suggested stopping by here to get some quick takeout eats. I had the shawarma stick, honestly I think the regular shawarma and the stick are about the same size and it's like $2 to $3 cheaper. My husband got the lamb shawarma box, which includes a side, so we split some curly fries - their curly fries are always good. I actually thought my shawarma stick was really good, and I would return for it. My husband wasn't as pleased with his lamb shawarma, he said it had a lot of fatty bits. Overall pricing is not too bad here, I will say they took a long time to make our meal and there wasn't anyone else waiting - the only excuse might be if they were making lots of doordash orders at the same time or something like that. That being said, my shawarma stick was delicious and reasonably priced, around $7, so I'd go back just for that. read more

Bucharest Grill - Shawarma stick - Sandwiches Near Me - Southfield, Michigan

Good venue, but a tad noisy due to all the hard surfaces. Plenty of parking. But this is about the shawarma, and the shawarma is good. A large portion served hot. The chicken was dry-ish. Had I eaten there, a bit more garlic sauce would have overcome this problem. The garlic sauce rocks, The staff is trained and attentive. The dining room and restroom are clean. Will I return? Yes. read more

I got the lamb shawarma sandwich. The lamb was extremely tough and fatty. I couldn't finish it, that's how bad it was. Service was slow too.

New Bucharest location? Might as well give it a try since I was nearby. Bucharest Shawarma Box w/ Shoestring Fries ($10.95) - The fries are pretty standard, decent crisp on exterior, fluffy interior. They don't skimp on the fries, they give you a big portion. These are definitely not shoestring fries though, seems a bit like false advertising to me. The wrap itself is filled with fries, cabbage, tomato, very fresh and crunchy pickles, garlic sauce, and chicken. Surprisingly, the pickles are the best part of this wrap - I prefer the ones here over many more authentic shawarma places in Dearborn. The chicken had an overly grilled sear that resulted in quite a bit more charred taste than I like. As a result, the chicken was also very dry. Overall the wrap was extremely salty and I had to down several glasses of water after eating it. Hummus ($6.95) - This comes with a pack of three pitas. The hummus certainly isn't bad - it has a good mix of chickpea and tahini. Once again, it's super oversalted though - honestly, the first thing I noticed was the salt content. As with my previous experiences at several downtown/midtown locations, everything at Bucharest is extremely salty, some salty enough that they are unpleasant to eat as they burn your mouth. As a positive, this location is way less crowded than the other locations. There are just much better places to get shawarma all over the metro that have a more appropriate amount of seasoning. read more

There's a Bucharest Grill not too far from where I work and I really like it, so I was excited to see that they were making one on my route home from work. I noticed today that they were open, so I doubled back to go there. First of all, the storefront is nice, clean, airy and inviting. I like the wooden tables and booths. The counter people were also welcoming. Their prices are also extremely reasonable. The receipt says that they charge 2% for credit card transanctions but the extra charge wasn't on my receipt. I ordered a Niki's salad, mistaking it for the Trish's salad. But, chicken instead of beef was fine; kind of what I wanted anyhow. The Niki's salad was chicken, feta, shredded cabbage and dressing. When I got it home, added some plain lettuce & cucumbers. Sadly, I was most disappointed; the chicken was ok (a bit dry, but I don't mind that), but either the cabbage or the dressing was incredibly salty; I couldn't tell which it was. I tried to doctor it up, but it was of no use; I just couldn't eat it. So, I ended up picking out the chicken and I threw the rest away. They've only been onen a couple days, so I'm sure they're still working out the kinks. I will give them another try, but definitely with a different meal. read more

10/11/25 I ordered the lamb box shawarma, the shawarma and curly fries were both were very salty and the lamb was over cooked. Business's please be careful with adding salt read more

Got sick after eating half a sandwich looked at the chicken it was under cooked. My wife also go sick immediately after eating here yesterday. Will not be back. Sandwiches were slapped together and gross. Nothing like the downtown location which has been great every time. Disappointed read more

Very solid spot for Mediterranean fare. The shawarma wraps seem to be the main option and they were excellent. Garlic sauce was very tasty and the wraps were juicy and filling. Curly fries were crisp and flavorful. Very solid experience here! read more

Been to this location about three times and the food was fine, but the service definitely lacks. Most of the time they don't say hi and are goofing around with all of the other coworkers. This time that wasn't the issue, which is why I'm leaving a review my chicken quesadilla stick didn't have anything but chicken and cheese in it when it's supposed to be filled with veggies as well. I'm at some places, but when it comes to my food, I don't play about it. I got food at a non-busy hour, and when I went in the store, it was pretty empty, so I don't understand why they couldn't have made sure that my order was made properly. If you want the quality service and food, you have to go to the Detroit location, which unfortunately is 30 minutes + away from me or else I would've gone there read more

Bucharest Grill - Quesadilla Stick - Sandwiches Near Me - Southfield, Michigan

Loved the amazing taste, preparation and the large quantity of meat given. I ordered from DoorDash, which took under 30 minutes. It was packaged tightly and I so appreciated the effort. I really had to work to unwrap my wrap, but this made me feel like it definitely had not been tampered with. A chicken wrap and a chicken salad. Both had so much chicken and incredibly seasoned! I need to go back and try again before giving them 5 stars. Keep up the good work! I had heard good things prior to ordering and they did not disappoint! read more

The wait wasnt bad, but both times I went the young ladies doing cashier were great with their customer service! You don't get that a lot from food places or younger people read more

Bucharest is a good place to experience middle eastern fast food in the Detroit area. I had the chicken schwarma and my wife had the veggie pita. Both were on point. Quesadilla was fire as well. Fries were just okay and service took longer than expected. I'd recommend to order in advance or get it delivered. Those orders appeared to get fulfilled quicker. read more

Wow, the food was fantastic! Yes, we had to wait a little longer than I would have liked, but the chicken shawarma was incredible and that more than made up for it! read more

I just tried the new Bucharest Grill in Southfield. I ordered a lamb shawarma sandwich. The restaurant is very clean, my order was ready on time, and staff was friendly and polite. I didn't love the sandwich -- there was a ton of meat, but the lamb was fatty and the sandwich seemed really oily. Price was reasonable (about $10). Maybe I'll try the chicken, but I wouldn't get the lamb again. read more

The food is good BUT please change your salad dressing it's Absolutely disgusting salty and has ammonia smell . . Use basic red wine vinegar and good quality olive oil. The salad was ruined because of the dressing. Will not be back! read more

Whew $40 down the drain! Whoever cooking the food on Northwestern Highway needs to stop using a ton of salt on the food. Curly fries very very salty, lamb shawarma was fatty and overly salty..they def don't read orders due to everything I said I didn't want on it was on it..neverrr going back to this one..may try one in Detroit..but If you're on blood pressure meds..stay far away from here because whew..Highly annoyed because I turned down restaurants I knew were delicious! read more

chicken shawarma is good enough meat and dressing but Too salty! I like salt but I almost couldn't eat it. maybe it's a honest mistake.

Service is always pretty good, this time it was trash. I asked for extra pickles three times cause the lady at the counter wasn't understanding me clearly. I said " Hi can I have a hummus & chicken, no pita, extra pickles" she confirmed my order three times! Yet I have no pickles on my hummus & chicken. SMH. The food is giving mid at the Southfield location, the one I've been patronizing recently. I order the hummus and chicken often, it's always cold or luke warm. At the Jefferson location it's always hot & fresh! read more

Any other time I order from this restaurant is always perfect. But the other night I ordered my normal chicken Shawarma salad and 75% of the chicken was burnt. I was very disappointed and had to throw the whole thing away. I'm not sure if I will order from them again. read more

Worst location that Bucharest has ever opened. Don't bother coming here. I came here for the first time today after looking forward to this location opening and it was all around TERRIBLE. My chicken shawarma was cold and the chicken was so hard it hurt my tooth when I bit into it. I'm not even kidding. It was awful and was the worst shawarma I've ever had. I threw half of it away because of it being so cold. Waste of $10 for a single sandwich. On top of that, they've raised their prices significantly compared to what it used to be (8.50 for a shawarma now??) AND charged me 95 cents for a TINY CUP OF GARLIC. REALLY??? LMAO. Not sure what idiot came up with the price for that but it's absolutely absurd. This company has gotten to be so greedy while at the same time making their once good food taste terrible. It tastes nothing like it used to like at the downtown location and this location is garbage. Never forget too that the young girls working there always have an attitude and lack any enthusiasm. A simple "hi" would do just fine. Never coming back and this location was a waste of time to open here. Other locations are busy and this one had 2 people eating inside at lunchtime. What does that tell you? This location is a disgrace to what Bucharest used to be. read more

While there may have been growing pains since opening, this is one of our favorite places for Mediterranean. Food is hot when served, nicely prepared...great amount of chicken on the large shawarma salad. Fries were crisp not soggy. Wraps were excellent, stuffed with chicken. Not a five star rating yet as the chicken does have a little too much salt, while not very many people in the small dining area, the music was too loud and most TVs are positioned for the staff , not the customers. Staff was excellent. Attentive, thankful, and acknowledging, small warm smiles. Did I forget helpful? As I was leaving, one of the staff noticed and asked if I wanted a bag for my leftover carry-out...asked with a nice smile. We'll be back for sure. read more

Manager/Supervisors are terrible no leadership skills and flirting with the servers. Food was good but bathrooms were filthy.

Tried this place twice now, both times disappointing. First time was dining in. The place had hardly any customers and it took them over 45 minutes to prepare a simple order. Half the order was appetizers and they couldn't even bring those out while we were waiting for sandwiches. About a dozen employees behind the counter goofing off, standing around, gossiping, or shooting the breeze. Maybe they should train more of their employees to actually prepare food. Second time was delivery. Order was fast but no pita bread for hummus and no dressing for the salad. Don't bother with this place. It's a waste of time and the food isn't good enough to warrant putting up with the terrible service. Management apparently has no idea how to train employees or run a restaurant either. read more

I enjoyed my Chicken Shawarma Salad. I normally go on John R. Glad it's one near by...

Please send someone from the Royal oak location to Southfield store. Unfortunately the one in Southfield I could not eat the chicken Shawarma it was so dry without any sauce and hardly any lettuce and tomato. I know you are a new location but I can't eat the chicken Shawarma here it was so dry Hopefully they will get it right in time. read more

The worst service. staff are rude and ignore customers while they scroll on their phone and socialize with each others. Carryout not even started at the time promised to be done. There are literally seven employees standing around doing nothing while one person works. read more

The surprise here is that it's Middle Eastern type food, not Roumanian like you'd think from the name. I've had the basic Bucharest chicken wrap twice as a carryout and enjoyed it. However, when I made it a combination, I found the fries to be a bit limp and greasy. Perhaps they're better if you eat them right there. The location is convenient. I'm willing to give them another try, perhaps with a different item. read more
