    Hello I wanna let you know about the Chef Mediterranean Restaurant. It is really delicious, the food is always fresh and hot. I ordered the Meat Sharma... which is your choice of Chicken, Beef or lamb and it comes with your choice of rice or fries, and your choice of soup or salad. I got the rice and soup. Man oh man is it sooooo good. And the owner Morna is such a sweetheart. She is very nice and attentive to what you want. She makes everything fresh so you have to wait a bit but not too long. But if you Ypsilantiers really want some good food you gotta go here. I promise you won't be sorry. And the prices are good..... nothing too high. But you definitely get your money's worth and huge servings. So go ahead get on down there. I promise you won't be sorry.

    Portions here are HUGE! I ordered a chicken and lamb plate for takeout during COVID and I easily got enough for 2-3 people per meal. Tons of meat and spiced rice. The flavors are a little different than your traditional Middle Easten flavors (a little spicer) but overall yummy and a great option for a healthyish dinner. Everyone was also super friendly, and clean.

    Pretty good Middle eastern food. Lentil soup was different in texture from what I'm accustomed to: more of a cream soup but with lots of flavor and a definite kick. It was pretty good. Ordered the best kibbeh I've ever had! It was delicious! Between four of us, we ordered the lamb, lamb chops, and shrimp. Everything was was really good. The server and chef were very nice-the chef gave us complimentary dessert!

    Shrimp Cilantro with Rice

    From outward appearances only, this place doesn't look like much. Sandwiched between Bank of America and Subway in a shabby strip, Chef's is easily overlooked. The inside was much nicer and cleaner than I was expecting. There weren't many other people sitting in to eat, but I noticed quite a few ordering to go and pick up meals. For an appetizer, we split an order of hummus with pita and vegetarian grape leaves. Amazing. It was all amazing. The grape leaves were perfect! The hummus was creamy. We also had lentil soup, which was fantastic as well. For our main dishes I had the Vegetarian Mousaka, and my mom had Shrimp Cilantro. The Mousaka was out of this world delicious! First of all, wasn't that supposed to come in a lasagna-like loaf?! No?! It was like a delicious and hearty soup with a side of rice. The flavor was outstanding, and the serving size was huge! My mom loved her dish. I'm vegetarian so I didn't try it myself, but it looked and smelled great. Everything at Chef's was fantastic, and that totally caught me off guard. That's what I get for judging a book by its strip. This little hole in the wall has seriously blown me away with their food. The service was great as well, and they even had wifi. What more can you ask for? I seriously can't wait to come back! My stomach is growling just thinking about it.

    This restaurant is a gem and seriously the best business in the entire depressed strip mall behind EMU. The food coming out of the kitchen is always clean yet flavorful and all of the dishes have a home-cooked taste. From the chicken and shrimp gallaya dinners to their wraps and fattoush salads, I haven't had a bad meal here. In the past couple of years, this has become one of my favorite post-gym dining spots because it feels like both a treat and a healthful option compared to the greasy joints in the Washtenaw corridor. Fair warning, however, the dinner entrees can get really pricy, especially if you're on a mindful student budget. The dinners range from $11-16 (think 11 for the vegetarian options and 16 for the shrimp entrees), but I think every now and then, the splurge is worth it. Note though they have the best school year round deal in the neighborhood, the $5.99 lunch special, which comes with a sandwich wrap and a choice of soup, salad, or fries. I love all three, but I usually get the fries at lunch. Gawd, it's so wonderful and way tastier than the corporate combo you get at McDonalds or Subway next door. Service is always really friendly and the food is consistently delicious. My favorite staple here is the chicken shawarma sandwich with a spicy lentil soup. The sandwich is so simple with the perfect proportion of meat, tomato slices, pickles, and a schmear of their garlic sauce rolled into grilled perfection. The sauce plus tomato and pickle tanginess symbiotically creates the best juicy bite (with almost a hint of curry?) that leaves me craving it again and again. They take credit cards and they're Closed Sundays.

    I have been very ill and am physically challenged. My husband and I have not had the luxury of eating in a restaurant in months. Needless to say this is my first dining out in a long time. It was on our way home from EMU. The food is amazing and super affordable. I had enough for two separate meals. The hummus is great, chicken shawarma is yummy and the most impressive were the grape leaves, I am in luv with them. A table by us ordered their homemade lemon aid which is kinda like a pulpy freeze looking dessert. If able to go back again. It will also be ordered. This place is worth the time and money the staff is kind and sweet. Please enjoy the Chef's creations they are delicious and presented beautifully. The Chef should get a pat on the back he is amazing he produces food from the heart and you can feel it in the food. Thank you. Check it out!!! NOM :0)

    I've walked by this place a bunch and was always intrigued, so I finally went the other day…read more Came around 5:30 and ended up timing it perfectly. We got seated right before a waitlist started building. The QR code ordering wasn't working for us, but you can just order at the counter and the staff were helpful, so it wasn't a big deal. I got the Juicy Sean wrap, the pkhali side plate, and the chocolate tahini shake. The walleye in the wrap was really good, super fresh and light. I think next time I'd get extra sauce though because it leaned a little dry for me. The pkhali side plate was great. I've heard it's seasonal, which makes me want to come back and see what else they rotate in. The flatbread paired really well with it. The chocolate tahini shake was good. I'd heard a lot about it. It just didn't stand out as much as I expected personally. Overall I really liked it and I'd come back, especially to try more of the seasonal stuff.

    service was good, servers were very nice and accommodating, but they gave you your space in a way…read morethat was very refreshing. cozy ambience, chill music, felt like i could hang out there for hours. i got the tofu mafia bowl, and unfortunately the tofu was VERY salty, like spam-salty. felt like the ratios were off, a TON of rice, some shredded lettuce, a little bit of pickled onion, and a decent amount of tofu- though i wish it was cut a bit smaller, instead of in big slabs. the sauces were put on the side, which i appreciated- i ended up trying the vegan ranch(?) and it was very good. shared the asparagus with my friend, and we both agreed it was amazing, perfect texture and super fresh herbs, plus beautiful plating. my friend said his sandwich was good (tom the mailman), but the meat was a bit chewy at parts, and he'd probably try something different next time. overall, worth the try, and i definitely want to go back some time- very interested in their chocolate tahini shake **3
