In & Out Shawarma is your typical family owned neighborhood Metro-Detroit Middle Eastern restaurant. I remember visiting the first time a couple of years ago after reading the reviews stating the restaurant was inside the liquor store and being confused when I couldn't find it. Instead, they had just moved right next door in a newly renovated building. To be honest, I find that the restaurant interior here is bland and soulless but luckily the food here doesn't match the surroundings. During that initial visit, I did not like the food. I ordered the Meat and Chicken Shawarma Sandwiches and found that the meat in both were exceptionally dry and tough. If I had been on Yelp back then, it would likely have ended up as a 2 or 3 star. I went again recently for lunch to give it another chance, getting the same items again. The food arrived within 5 minutes or so after ordering. Meat Shawarma Sandwich ($6.75) - This was totally different from my previous visit. The meat was tender and flavorful, not mushy and not dry. There was a great balance of ingredients, with the meat, veggies, and tahini mixing together to create the perfect bite. The veggies were super fresh, with tomato, parsley, and crunchy and aromatic onions. The tahini added a good nuttiness. Overall the sandwich had a good amount of moisture but not enough to cause anything to go soggy. Chicken Shawarma Sandwich ($6.75) - Again this had great construction and balance of ingredients. The pickles were nice and crunchy with some sour acidity. The chicken was not the juiciest, but definitely not dry, and had a bit of a nice charred flavor. The garlic was solid and added a nice complementary pungency. The ingredients were distributed pretty evenly, resulting in a piece of each component in each bite. Side notes: Both sandwiches weighed between 7 and 8 ounces, which I think might be a bit on the smaller side. I am also not certain if the shawarma is shaved off the spit here. In & Out Shawarma improved so much this trip that I will definitely be going back in the future. read more

This is a run, don't walk review. Easily the best shawarma I've ever had and made by super nice people. Knowing about the history of Dearborn I was ready to put the shawarma to the test and am glad I did. The restaurant is located in a strip mall but the inside is newly decorated with ample space inside to dine in. We ordered the shawarma sandwich (mixed), side of hummus, falafel sandwich, and salad. I took the first bite of the sandwich and had to pass it around to everyone at the table because it would be an injustice for them not to try it. One of the dishes came with a side of garlic sauce that is so potent it will make your mouth burn. Honestly, that is the perfect level of garlic for me. In regards to freshness, everything is made in front of you. You can tell they know how to prepare their meat as everything is super juicy and dripping with flavor. In fact, the only negative to this place is that they need bigger napkins. You will go through a bunch just wiping your face and hands. This is a meal that I will be thinking about for a long time. read more

Online ordering was easy, and my order was ready quickly. I got the tawook sandwich, and while it sufficed for a quick lunch, it's not something that would bring me back. I feel the chicken itself needed more seasoning, and because the sandwich was really light on garlic sauce, it was lacking flavor overall. read more

It's a small cafe with expensive prices. The food is average. I found the staff pleasant. But the amount of food presented is too little for the cost. read more

The food was okay. Portion size are on the small side. Price just okay but much better. Shawarma restaurants in the area with better quantity and quality read more

Very tasty, fast service as well -- the chicken shawarma was great. Will be back! Takeout place, so not a lot of seating but there are a few tables. read more

Great place! The gentleman behind the counter was very friendly. We just shot the breeze while I waited for our take away. Super cool guy. The restaurant is very clean and welcoming. There's limited seating. Not really a big deal to me though. I'm not sure how long they've been there. But my wife and I both enjoyed it. My wife and I each got a chicken shawarma sandwich, and split an order of hummus. The chicken was delicious! Perfect char, seasoning, and the right amount of pickled and garlic sauce. The same can be said about their hummus. Perfectly seasoned, and super creamy. Great food and a great staff! SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL BUSINESSES!! read more

I normally pack a lunch, but I forgot my lunch today, so I decided to try this place out. I'm definitely glad I did. My office is about a 5 minute drive from this place; by the time I got there, my food was already done. In some places, I'd be concerned that the food is pre-made, but that's not the case here: the chicken shawarma was obviously just made to fill my order. Fantastic. And, that chicken shawarma does stand up to some pretty impressive competition: this is Dearborn, after all, which has some of the best Mediterranean food in the world. This wrap had a good ratio of pita to high quality chicken and pickle. I would definitely order it again. But, it actually gets better than that. The chicken shawarma with a side and a drink costs only $8.99. I chose baba ganoush, which has a fantastic smoky quality that I expect from a good baba ganoush. And, the portion is very generous (about a cup). The baba ganoush was so good that I ate the whole thing, even though I was full by the time I finished the sandwich with it. If you do decide to order from here - which I highly recommend - please note that this place is located inside The Vinery liquor store. This turns out to be a very nice bonus, because they have a phenomenal selection, but it does make it hard to figure out which door to go into to find the restaurant. This has me concerned that people will miss out on this fantastic addition to Dearborn's culinary landscape. Please also note that there is only take-out service available. Like I said, it's located inside a shop. But, it's so good that you'll want to forget your lunch some day so you have an excuse to get a carry-out from here. read more

Friendly service, and the food was excellent. Options for those family members with more conservative palettes as well.

Place is closed down! Tried to go and door was locked and phone number disconnected. No indication on website.

This express in and out shawarma is at the back of the Vinery store. I was warmly greeted by the each of the 2 staff members as I came in and was handed a takeout menu for easy reading, the board was high above my normal eye level. I ordered the veggie combo for 1, small cup of crushed lentil, fatoosh salad sans pita chips and added feta, $0.75 add-on. They have walking through Istanbul on the TV via YouTube for your waiting amusement. All of the employees are extremely friendly at least and pleasant. I was advised to give the dressing a good shake before dousing it over my salad. The romaine lettuce for the fatoosh needs to be fresh, some red and brown spots on several leaves, the feta dusting is not worth the $.75 at all. The crushed lentil is not so good, on the bland side and there is rice for filler too, which I don't like in my lentil. The hummus is super blah and needed more lemon, it's one is the worst I have ever had to date. It wasn't good enough to take in more than 2 small teaspoons of the stuff. The tabouli is okay, but is looking old since the green onions and parsley are starting to brown. The baba is not bad, smokey. The grape leaves are mostly leaves, maybe a few grains of rice at most. The staff are nice to deal with, the food is sub-par. read more

The best shawarma we have ever had. You get a lot of food, it's always fresh, and the staff is always so friendly!

Someone said this was in a liquor store. It is *next* to a liquor store in a strip mall, not in it. Lol. The place is extremely clean. It's bright looking and maybe even looks like it was newly- renovated. The food is absolutely amazing. I got the chicken Shawarma platter. I did order it with fries, but it came with rice instead, which in a way was a good thing because the rice was extremely moist as was the chicken. They give you a size of garlic obviously and it was scrumptious. the chicken was moist too. Definitely would recommend this place. They're also very nice. The woman that is behind the counter is very nice. read more

This place is great Best shawarma ever Lovely owners very nice Sandwich is delicious Thank you Don't be discouraged by the location. It's in a grocery store but definitely worth it. read more

Shwarma's are great. The meat was juicy, and the overall taste was great. I forgot to get them minus the garlic sauce for the kids, but we lucked out, and they liked it! The hummus was okay, but I'm a snob cause we make it. Was my first time in, but you will be seeing us again. read more

Best chicken shawarma plate I have ever had. Extremely friendly. Can't recommend this place enough.

Was in town and wanted some shawarma. Any Mediterranean at all. Almost drove by it the first time. Please don't. The food is excellent. Try their sandwiches that make shawarma into a tasty wrap. The baba ganoug and hummus are so good. Check this place out. read more

My coworker and I were immediately greeted upon walking on. The staff was very welcoming, the wait was short, and the food was great. They generously gave us a complimentary side of hummus. Will be back! read more

First time trying this place. I chose it based on location, price, and convenience. It's inside of a liquor store/grocery store. I ordered the crushed lentil soup (very good), fattoush salad (with a delicious salad dressing), chicken shawarma sandwich, falafel sandwich. The price is competitive to Ollie's, which was an important part in swaying others to try the place. I also like that it's a to-go establishment, so I know if I'm short on time, I can go there. My coworker ordered the falafel sandwich and commented that the falafel was very good. The customer service was great! read more

Don't be scared away by the location. Great food in the middle of a liquor store. Dearborn has a great rep for middle eastern food and this place does not disappoint. Great place to stop for lunch and very friendly owners. I travel to Dearborn once a year and this is my first stop every time. read more

Fantastic food. Shawarmas are great. Pricing is fair for the amount of food you get. Will be going back!

Explore the Tasty side of Middle Eastern food of freshly prepared Meat, Chicken, and Vegetable Meals. Give them a try and you won' be dissapaointed. 20+ Years of experience starting from the early days of the legendary La-Shish. Been on my radar for a while reading those fabulous Yelp reviews.

I love there new location, next to the liquor store. Glad the food is just as amazing as it was when they was inside the liquor store!!! If I could I would eat here every day. Staff is very friendly. Restaurant is clean and cozy. I have and will continue to recommend this restaurant! read more

Doesn't look like much but this place takes me by surprise. I'm not familiar with Dearborn area at all and randomly stumble across this place. I'm not going to lie, when I first saw the place from outside I thought the area feels a bit dodgy. However, the place inside is actually very clean and feels newly renovated. The decor is simple but pretty nice. Still, I think they're perfect for grab and go. I ordered the chicken shawarma sandwich, which is really affordable. For the price, the portion is really good too! The meat was very well seasoned and the spices were aromatic. The flatbread was soft and fluffy. The sandwich was pretty saucy, so make sure to grab A LOT of napkins to go, but it's definitely an awesome quick lunch spot. Would definitely recommend it if you're in the area. In addition, the staffs are very friendly and welcoming too! service is pretty quick as well--another plus point if you're short on time. read more

Short 7 minute drive from the Ford Center. The food was delicious. We tried the chicken shawarma sandwich, meat shawarma, and falafel plate. Customer service was excellent. Seems to be a family business. You can tell they really care about the customer. They are not inside the liquor store but next to it with a seating area inside. Great meal before we hit the road. read more

Saw their sign on Pelham and didn't see the restaurant. It is inside the Party store! The guy cooking and making the shawarmas was friendly and helpful.

Never had Kafka, don't know what a Kafka even is, but it was very tasty and will be my standard for all things shawarma! read more
