As always the chicken shawarma did not disappoint. I added extra garlic sauce (so good) and feta cheese. Also, when you get the box be prepared for enough fries for at least 2 people! read more

I work downtown and have enjoyed food from a couple dowmtown Bucharest Grill locations for years. I live near the St.Clair Shores location and both times I've ordered from there they have screwed up my order. Shame on me for not checking my order before I left tonight after the issue last time, but I feel I shouldn't have to. Very disappointed read more

I have LOVED Bucharest downtown for years. I ordered a chicken shawarma wrap from the SCS location and it just wasn't good. It was basically flavorless. If I were blindfolded and ate this wrap alongside a wrap from downtown, I never would have thought they were from the same place. I hope it's just growing pains from the restaurant opening fairly recently and they just haven't worked out the kinks yet. read more

My husband picked up a large chicken shawarma salad from the St. Clair Shores location earlier today. I didn't get home from work until 6:30 pm, and when I opened it, the salad was overloaded with green peppers, red onions, and cucumbers and had barely any lettuce. The proportions were completely off. I called immediately and spoke with the manager, Devin. Instead of apologizing or offering to fix it, he asked if I could "not eat tonight and save it for tomorrow." Then he told me I would need to bring the salad back if I wanted anything done. After working all day, that was not a reasonable solution. When I offered to send a photo, he said that wouldn't do anything. When I asked to speak with someone above him, he told me the owner does not speak to customers. When I said I would leave a review, he responded, "Do what you want." He even called me back to tell me he watched camera footage like I'm a criminal. I never said there wasn't lettuce; I said there was very little compared to the amount of other vegetables. That completely misses the point. Devin's dismissive and disrespectful behavior toward a loyal customer is unacceptable and should be addressed by Bucharest management immediately. Devin's attitude is so unprofessional that it risks driving away long-time customers and damaging the reputation of this location. My family spends money at this location weekly. The food was disappointing, but the way this was handled was worse. If this is the manager at Bucharest, then Bucharest is in trouble. With this attitude toward customers, they are about to lose a lot of money and loyal customers. read more

This is NOT Mediterranean food. Fatoush salad was lame- dressing was simply oil, no pita chips. The chicken "shawarma" sandwich was ridiculously messy/sloppy. Not legit "shawarma", just marinated chicken breast, cut up. Whole experience of the restaurant was very westernized & commercial. Won't go back. read more

The food here was only fine. The chicken was a little dry and stringy, the fries kinda soggy. And the sauces weren't as flavorful as they could have been. And I thought the falafel was a bit hard, and kinda tasted like it had been fried more than once. Not my favorite. read more

First off, the food itself when made properly is amazing!! So the issue is the last 2 times I've placed my online order, specifying "No pickles, No Mayo, Xtra tomatoe- the sandwich was terrible- It was soggy, maybe 3 pieces of lettuce, one tomato, Had pickles on it and had so much mayo-garlic sauce the sandwich was slimy and fell apart. It was terrible- what's the point of saying how you want it when they clearly don't read the ticket and follow direction- my order as I wanted it was clearly printed on the ticket- Bucharest is on Pause for me- their cooks need to be retrained on their comprehension and sandwich making skills... read more

Tried it for a the first time as a carry out. Ordered lamb shawarma for two and a fattoush salad with lamb planned for later. Salad loaded with stringy, tough and very salty lamb. Of course the greens were wilted due to hot lamb on top. Salad consisted of a few greens and loads of green pepper. No taste at all. Pita chips on top were greasy and inedible. Shawarma also full of stringy, salty lamb. Threw most of it away. Will not go back. read more

Was hungry of something different and flavorful. Ordered the Chicken Shwarma sandwich. It had a lot of chicken (almost too much) on it but had an odd flavor to it, almost a moldy smell and taste. Ended up throwing it away as it was too far to return. Only my second time here (other was at a different location) but will not be back. The inside appeared clean and there were many workers present so service was quick as well. read more

You can sit and look over at the Burger King where everything would have been cheaper. Or at least you could. The food isn't that special to justify the extra expense. Went here a couple times which was one too many and the grub didn't seem nearly as good as the OG Comet Burger in Royal Oak.
