Always such a great experience with Malek Al Kabob. We recently walked in to order takeout. The…read moreservice was super quick - I only waited about 10 minutes for our food to be ready. The food was delicious and still a great temperature by the time I got home and plated for my family. The restaurant for a Saturday evening still had seating available; it was clear to me that they do a ton of carryout and that possibly outweighs the in-person dining.

Our server, bus boy, and supporting staff was so welcoming. The area was full of customers and the clanging of cooking utensils and the small chatter made the atmosphere very cozy. And then the food came, ahh the food. Hot and steaming, smelling of the herbs and spices, bountiful and nutritious. The selection we made was a platter made for two. So beautiful, bountiful, nutritious, and delicious. We chose grilled vegetables instead of the rice or noodles( less carbs). Lamb, chicken, beef and vegetables. Yummy. We also had a mango strawberry smoothie as well. There was so much food that we had left overs! Please stop and enjoy this place. It will delight you and your senses. Stay Yelping my friends!

I stopped into Sahara Restaurant for lunch, and if there's one thing I learned quickly, it's that…read morethe lunch combo might be the best value in Dearborn. The owner was running the counter and he was friendly, welcoming, and clearly proud of the place. I went for the combo and I was greeted with fresh bread, soup, and their excellent garlic sauce, which deserves its own shoutout. I was dipping my pita with it and even added it to my rice. The soup was a pleasant surprise: a chicken‑forward broth with a thicker texture. The mixed shawarma (lamb and chicken), was enormous! Easily enough for two meals. The meat was tender, well‑seasoned, and came out fast. Between the value, the portions, and the hospitality, this feels like a hidden gem.

The pita bread was fresh and crispy as it was served straight from the oven with a garlic sauce. This is complimentary. I opted for a steak shish kabob sandwich that was outstanding. My dining companion got the falafel. They were big, bountiful and delicious. We both had leftovers because we couldn't stop eating the fresh pita. It is really nice to find a surprise restaurant to add to the list. I haven't had such good pita in years.

They forgot my lemon chicken soup in my takeout order which was pretty disappointing since I was really looking forward to trying that. They offered to give me one next time I was in which I guess was okay but I didn't want to make another trip back there before my flight just for a soup. So bit unfortunate. Decent takeout food but I wish service was a bit better

Town Bakery is one of the few Middle Eastern bakeries open during Ramadan. Due to the holidays,…read morethey had a shortened menu with many items not being available during the month. What was available were the delectable looking mini pies in the display case in the front. Not what I wanted when I first walked in, but I can't really complain! Dozen Pies ($9.90) - Got 6x Zaatar, 3x Round Meat, 3x Cheese. The Zaatar has the characteristic earthiness and tanginess from the sumac, toasted sesame and other spices. The cheese is mild and milky. I think they only use mozzarella as it didn't have the characteristic saltiness and tanginess from the other cheese types traditionally on pies. The meat is well spiced with bursts of sweet allium pungency and a bit of acidity from the tomato. All three pie types were quite good after reheating in the toaster oven. The only thing that brings down my score is that the base bread is overly sweet. They put quite a bit of sugar in the dough that some bites felt like I was eating a dessert bread rather than a savory pastry. I will be back after Ramadan to try their other items.

I would give it a 4.5 probably but I'll be nice and round up. I only tried the bakery items…read more First off the fresh big cheese bread here is SOME OF THE BEST I've ever had. So good. So fresh. So cheesey. The meat pie, spinach pie, and labneh were decent. They heated it up for me but they were still kinda cold. The meat pies were very bread-y. I like the meat pies at kings better. Next time I'll try the lamb or mandi chicken. Mmm.

Carry Out Review: Picked up an order from Alex Kabab House…read moreyesterday evening after a quick Yelp search of the area as I had a taste for Middle Eastern food I ordered the chicken shawarma bowl with French fries as the base of the bowl, rice is also an option. The bowl comes with grilled chicken, feta cheese, pickles and garlic sauce. I also ordered a small fatoosh salad, which came with pita bread. The meal was outstanding. The chicken grilled was moist and flavorful. I loved the brine on the pickles, and the french fries were fresh and still a little crispy underneath the toppings. The salad was fresh and crisp with a delicious dressing. I mixed both together for the ultimate gluttonous meal. The restaurant is easily found on Eureka Road in Southgate. They offer an extensive menu with vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options. Catering is available. The dining room is spacious and seats lots of diners. The restaurant has its own parking lot, which is well lit and accessible to the front door. I definitely recommend Alex Kabob House.

Likes this kabob place that came highly recommended by so workers and YELP. Myself and two other chefs are away from home on assignment. Wanted something different to eat. This place did not disappoint. We all shared all of our samples and got the same entrees as well. We all really enjoyed our company and dinner. Sadly we were so full there was no room for dessert. The restaurant seemed a bit cold with all the tile and woodwork but the service shone. She realized that us chefs just wanted the real deal and we got it... Highly recommend this place...

They start you off with a roasted bread and garlic sauce starter. That was very tasty! Then the sides I chose were Baba ghanoush and a salad. They do deliver a LOT of food! The roasted bread wasn't like a nan, and it worked very well with the garlic sauce it came with, and with the baba ghanoush. The shawarma was very flavorful, and I could not finish all the food (and that is saying something!) Of the massive failure that was my Detroit weekend, they are the only positive I had

I got the chicken kebab entree with rice, lentil soup and a small tabouli. The rice was good, the chicken was a way over charred. Literal crunchy black layer. There was not a good amount of vegetables. The tabouli was VERY TASTY, I loved that. And the Lentil soup was very runny almost like chicken noodle soup. But the lentils was very aroma and still tasted very yummy, just not as filling as a thicker lentil. I was given like 4 pita breads and a garlic also with the meal. The restaurant looked clean inside. I won't be back to this restaurant only because I've had way better for around the same price or less, but if this was my first time trying Mediterranean food I may be back only because in that case I wouldn't be knowledgeable enough about what flavors to look for in these dishes. Thank you for the meal though! I will be eating it all. PS. Walking to the door of the restaurant is a giant lip in the sidewalk and my partners toe was injured because it stubbed.
