Open late, very laid back perfect spot to grab some food. Inside was a chess table and plenty of seating. Food was outstanding some of the best Indian food I've ever had and good portion sizes. I was full by the end of the chicken masala! The mango lassi was delicious, a rich mango flavor and satisfying through each sip! Cheese naan hands down the best naan I've ever had, I believe they make the naan bread in which explains why it's so mind blowing. And lastly, the cheesecake, I would have opted for a bit of crust at the bottom on the cheesecake to create a small crunch and diversify the texture. I absolutely will come back here to try more food. I'd recommend this place to anyone!! read more

Ordered through DoorDash nice servings. Great butter chicken and rice. The desserts were delicious as well.

Detroit Eatery was an experience. We ordered seasoned fries and samosas, which were solid, but the vibes were somewhere between diner, basement party, and fever dream. The bathroom was fully decked out in Super Mario glory, which seemed very random. When I asked for toilet paper, a mysterious voice behind the counter just muttered "no," which resulted in laughs and tears. Meanwhile, someone in the kitchen kept sneaking glances at our table like they were trying to solve a very important mystery, and we still have no idea what it was. Three stars for the food, the unintentional comedy, and the weird vibes read more

Cold samosas?? Really? I have never ordered samosas that were not fresh out of the hot oil. When I ordered online I was expecting FRESH FOOD. The Chili Garlic 65 Chicken covering crunchy rice was a complete disappointment. The grilled pita had a weird smell to it. The vegetable samosas were refrigerator cold. I have never had Indian cuisine this bad. The service was slow. I had to ring the bell twice before someone came to the front. The restaurant was clean in the dining area. No tissue in the bathroom, so you may have to go to Starbucks to use the restroom as I did. read more

The food is always amazing here. I've tried the mango lassi, I've tried their Chinese food, but my favorite menu item of all is the combo chicken and lamb rice mix. get the extra white sauce, extra meat, and extra red sauce because you're gonna need it . The service is always very fast, and if there is a wait, I don't mind because there's an area where you can sit and play games inside the building. I love they recently renovated the building and expanded to include that area. read more

Detroit Eatery - New York Style Chicken & Lamb Mix (Top #1 Seller) - Greek Near Me - Royal Oak, Michigan

The diverse menu can seem oddly thrown together, but fear not! Everything I've tried there has been very good. The best-selling NY style lamb and rice is the place to start - and return to often. Unique and delicious and very satisfying. I've only carried out from here, but the counter staff was very welcoming and friendly. The service is top-notch. My online order was said to be ready about 9:20. I walked in at 9:19 and it came out of the kitchen as I walked up. Perfect. read more

Picked up carry out. Ordered shrimp lo mein. No green pepper. It arrived with dried out shrimp, green pepper, beans, corn, peas, carrots, onions. Those items weren't even in the description! The food tasted gross. I will not come back! Waste of money. Don't add items that aren't in the description read more

I like this very city like urban concept of walk up window for quick pick up for lunch. We grabbed a couple of dishes and they were all flavorful- would highly recommend Jamaican patty (we only got one but menu says two included) chicken and lamb New York style bowl and a butter chicken. The rice is perfection (not too sticky, every grain individual) - token Indian appreciation for this alone. The New York style bowl is flavorful however I wish there was just a little more sauce New York style. It's a perfect pick up for lunch or dinner and if you call ahead you don't really have to park either- they're located right by the rail road tracks so if you're using gps tracks it'll loop you around. read more

Detroit Eatery - Butter Lamb and Samosa - Greek Near Me - Royal Oak, Michigan

We ordered catering for lunch through ezcater, and it was almost perfect - they just forgot the baklava! A little sad, but the charge was immediately removed, so no harm done. The food was hot, fresh and on time otherwise. We had: veggie samosas, Jamaican beef patties, the NY style chicken and rice platter, butter chicken and veggie curry. The samosas were ok, but needed more seasoning, and I was sad that they didn't come with a tamarind dipping sauce. I will ask next time! The beef patties were slightly spicy and flavorful - perfect. The NY style chicken and rice was very popular - I think I'll get that again. The veggie curry was fine, but not excellent, but the butter chicken was tender and tasty. Overall, a very nice lunch option, especially if you're tired of the traditional sandwich/salad type spread. Will order regularly; generous portions. read more

I had the lamb pita & it was delicious. The bread is nwarm and soft. The meat is flavorful and tender. The lettuce was fresh. I wish they would've added a little more sauce. Next time, I will definitely get some on the side. I came for dine in because according to Google they offered that, however when I got there they only have takeout. FYI, you order outside then wait so be prepared. There were a few tables outside for dining. read more

Detroit Eatery - Lamb Pita - Greek Near Me - Royal Oak, Michigan

I work downtown Royal Oak so when it is time to have lunch I order something and pick it up. This place has easy online ordering. I usually get the chicken tikka masala. There are 2 Indian restaurants in walking distance that also have tikka masala but let me tell you why I get it here. First the portion is bigger, I guess I should eat less but an extra cup of rice and half a cup of sauce isn't going to break the bank for a restaurant . The chicken in the masala I think is shredded stewed chicken thighs that are so tender. The two Indian restaurants in town have big cubes of breast meat that have been cooked so long they are hard and chewy. They also take up so much space there is not enough sauce. Plus Detroit eatery is a few dollars less. I haven't even gone into the menu which has a lot of other good things. The generals chicken is good, and the lamb pita is also good. read more

We were early for a concert at Royal Oak Music Theater and hungry. We wandered around a bit and stumbled upon Detroit Eatery, which has a walk up window and a decent menu. We both ordered the chicken pita, which was the delicious hand held we both needed. Service was fairly quick for a freshly made pita, and we walked away happy, ready for our concert. read more

Them wings hit! The wet jerk wings were appropriately surprising coming from Royal Oak. The wings are whole and well cooked and seasoned. The spice of the jerk was akin to homemade. I enjoyed the chocolate cake too. This place was a pleasant surprise. read more

This place is a hit! Especially after a night out from drinking. Perfect spot, across from o tooles. I was skeptical about how the food would taste because it's fusion but it's actually super delicious! My friend who is Indian had their butter chicken and she said it was good! The beef patties were amazing! Especially because we got it fresh! Even the mango lassi is awesome also but cold to drink while standing in the cold. Definitely will hit this place up more! read more

OMG! I was in town, looking for something different. We found this spot and slid through. My hubby's a vegetarian and Im a carnivore. We waited a good amount of time for the food, but man....IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT! We ate inside and enjoyed the atmosphere. Hubby couldn't stop eating. I highly recommend it. read more

This was a nice quick serviced restaurant! The food portions were very generous and the food was delicious! I would just recommend more sauce but that is mostly because I am a sauce lover! Would recommend! read more

Ordered takeout through Yelp (GrubHub). Cute little place, but they did seem short-staffed. I waited a while before seeing anyone to ask to collect my pickup order. My favorite dish was the Paneer Tikka Masala. Very spicy and delicious! Vegetable Samosas were quite appetizing as well. I personally would pass on the Chili Garlic 65 next time as it was a bit too spicy and the flavors weren't as exciting to me. I do wish that the side of grilled pita bread was a bit more generous also. Other than that, I will definitely be back! read more

This restaurant has a takeout counter facing an alley. And we happened to be walking through the alley. My wife just wanted a water, but I only have cards to pay with, so I didn't want to just buy a water with a card because I'm not a total dick. So I ordered chicken tikka masala and figured I'd save it for later. Glad I did! It's awesome. Really good tikka masala that was ready in a fraction of the time it takes to get elsewhere. Generous portion and good price. The Indian food is spicy, so be prepared if you're sensitive to spicy food. I'm not in royal oak often, but I'll definitely grab food here next time around. Probably try something else on the menu to see how good the other stuff is too. There's a limited menu. It's like a food truck, but it's not a truck. Service was great. Food was great. Loved it. read more

I found a larger piece of a plastic cup rim at the bottom of my rice carry-out container. this is the second time I've found a foreign object in my delivery order. The food was fresh, hot & good so the 1st time (a hard wood-like material), it was mistake but a 2nd time (a big piece of a cup) seems neglectful...it's my last time ordering from Detroit Eatery. i would have asked for a refund but the plastic was discovered well past the reportable timeframe. read more

Not a strong contender for vegetarians, GF or vegans. Ordered the butter chicken with more veggies sans rice, NY style chicken rice platter with more veggies instead of rice and 2 railroad house salads sans croutons and Italian dressing. I've been wanting to try this place for a while. It looks like they have quite a large selection of ice cream from Ben and Jerry's. They also have a few different kinds of magnum and Valente and some popsicle type ice cream's for the kids. They have the magnum and it looks like the Klondike bar and an ice cream sandwich, looks so good. I'm so hungry. The mango lassi looks good too. Place looks like a candy shop when your blood sugar gets low and you haven't eaten all day. I think this was previously a hotdog place at one point. I never made it to the hotdog place before it shut down. It's good to see something else in its place. They really want to put the meat on a bed of lettuce as filler. I told him I didn't want the lettuce since it will wilt under it, he said it would look half empty. I said that's fine. He asked if I was okay with Ranch sauce on my order, I asked what it went on, he asked if I read the order, I said I hadn't. He said it goes on the chicken. I asked for it on the side. I eat the salad with the dressing I had at home. The creamy Italian is some new brand-name packet and nothing special. The butter chicken taste really good. I also found that the New York style chicken platter is quite tasty, has a bit of cheese on top. My husband really enjoyed the butter chicken best the NY style chicken wasn't bad but the butter chicken was the tastiest. The cleaning of the chicken needs a bit of work since I found a chunk of gristle in my butter chicken, but one piece. The salads were okay. We're definitely come back for the butter chicken. read more

This is like a food truck...and it was amazing!! Me and my Hunni got the combination with the chicken and lamb with 2 meat pies!!! The pastry was fluffy and flavorful and the filling in the meat pie was soooo good!! I wanted more but had a whole platter to dig into. The rice was perfect, the lamb melted and the flavor from the chicken was like no other. Must try!! read more

My husband was the one who wanted to try this place out, and now we get takeout from here multiple times a month. It is our go to for take out. They are conveniently located in the heart of downtown Royal Oak, and their hours are very accommodating. We frequently stop by after bar hopping. My favorite entrée is the NY chicken and rice platter, with extra white sauce. Their lamb is also delicious. Their butter chicken is good, but the sauce is definitely on the sweeter side. As for dessert, the coconut milk cake is amazing. I keep telling myself that I will try new things, but I keep coming back to the chicken and rice platter. Their portions are very generous, usually enough to last for at least 2 meals. Added bonus, if you download their app and place your order through there, you get 20% off of your order, all the time! read more

the vegetarian noodles left much to be desired - but you're asking a lot from a place that caters to late night drunk kids.

A friend told me this place was nothing too special, but I decided to give it a try anyway because it's halal and it had a hot 5 star rating. I'll start by saying the gentleman working at the register was very nice and helped us make a choice. The menu is pretty small but very random. There's butter chicken and mango lassi, then there's tres leches cake and wings, which is pretty cool if you like fusion foods. The place is really small, with only one table and some bar stools inside, but there's additional seating outside. We ordered the gyro and chicken over rice, which was not bad, but definitely not something I'd go back for. The jamaican jerk wings were baked, and tasted like something that came out of a pressure cooker, not crisp and without the bbq sauce on the side, would not have been eaten at all. The hot dogs were plain, but were grilled, and actually tasted better than your average halal hot dog (I have yet to find a good one). Overall, this place is worth a try, just not something that I personally would want to eat again. Again, food wasn't bad, but not amazing either! read more

Service is dead. Between the restaurant and the delivery person, there were several mistakes made with my order wrong. I ordered naan, they sent me pita. I ordered saag paneer they sent me saag with chicken. Grub hub delivery person left my order on the front porch to freeze on the coldest day of the year without knocking or ringing the bell. Grubhub delivery status never updated in the Yelp app. It didn't update when the order went out for delivery. It didn't update when the order was delivered. when order was out for delivery never indicated This is not the first time I've had this happen. I know the GrubHub app and GrubHub delivery person have nothing to do with the restaurant. But maybe it makes sense for them to get some feedback on how crappy the grub hub service is and how it reflects on them. On the plus side, I will say that both of the Indian dishes I ordered did taste pretty good and the quantity of rice that accompanied the entrees were generous, if not excessive. read more

Food was VERY good. Yelp led me right! Ordered Uber Eats and delivery was smooth, order was correct. Couldn't decide between butter chicken and NY rice platter so I got both plus a mango lassi. MANGO LASSI Wish it was colder but it was good. More like a juice than the thicker like smoothie I am used to. NY LAMB AND CHICKEN RICE PLATTER So I just learned Yelp has a promotion for 20% off NY platters. Doesn't apply to Uber Eats orders. THIS WAS GOOD! I would order this hands down again and again just the lamb though. Chicken wasn't bad but the lamb stole the show and it was so well seasoned. Would also ask for more of the white and red sauce. Very good! BUTTER CHICKEN (SPICY) Very good too. Served with a large portion of rice. And spicy means spicy. Tolerable spicy but a true spicy if that makes sense. And they are open late. This was my saving grace. Came in late for a concert so I only had time to get ready and head to concert. By time concert ended it was knocking on midnight and all the restaurants I wanted to try closed at midnight. read more

Not consistent, I have had really good experiences were everything was right in my order was delicious but my most recent one missed the mark. I ordered a lamb pita and it was missing half the ingredients... it only had lamb, bread and tzatziki sauce, it was missing the tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions, all of the good stuff that completes the pita, secondly, I ordered the butter chicken and they gave me something completely different because I've had their butter chicken before and it's excellent and what i got was closer to a salad with chicken and rice Additionally my drink was not in my order when I picked it up, so i had to go back and get it, makes me not want to back but I know they can do a lot better than today's service hoping to see them do better in the future read more

There was a mixup with my online order. I requested a time but the confirmation said 30 minutes later. I showed up at the time of the confirmation and the gentleman explained that they had to remake it because it sat too long. I mention this because most other businesses would have shrugged it off and given me the food that had just been sitting there. To me this is a sign of a reputable business. I had Tikka Masala and it was really good. It's enough for two meals. My husband had the NY chicken and lamb. He loved it. The Jamacian Beef pies were really something different. With the prices and variety of different ethnic foods my husband said this may be our new go to spot. Pro Tip: Order directly through their website and save $$$. This place is takeout only and I appreciate that they hand your food through a box. Limiting people inside like this makes me feel safer during this current Covid Spike. read more
