Service is good. Buffet looks less than appetizing. Had the carrot and orange juice, was decent. Shared the veggie combo with my mom. Salad and tabouli was good. Hummus was a bit bland and the baba was rather too strong for me. The veggie grape leaf was average, spinach pie and falafel were also just ok. Was a very average meal today. read more

A group of about 10 friends and I went in for dinner a week ago, and the staff was all amazing. The food was quick to come out - soup, multiple salads, bread, garlic and hummus. We had ordered plates of kabob. shawarma, and tawook. It was all absolutely delicious. We all asked for tea on the way out - and he quickly made an entire pot for us (we were the only ones left in the restaurant) with to-go cups. Hands down the best Arabic/Mediterranean food I've had in the suburbs. read more

This place is fantastic! Now, I was a fan of the Thai place that was in this location before, and hated to see them go. I was hoping another Thai joint would take its place...until I gave Kabob Castle a try! I've hit just about every Middle Eastern restaurant from here to eternity and this place is right at the top. The food is perfectly prepared and presented. Spices abound, and the ingredients are fresh. Regular menu meals can be a tad pricey, but everything I've had has been delicious, and portions are large! The fresh juices and smoothies are favorites. Their Sunday buffet will blow you away. $10.99 for all-you-can eat goodness! I don't eat beef or lamb, and there still are plenty of great options for me. Current buffet has had salad, garlic sauce, hummus, 3 different soups, steamed veggies (this is SO INCREDIBLY GOOD...reminds me of vegetable curry a little), grilled veggies, two kinds of rice, vegetable gallaba, chicken gallaba, lamb gallaba, okra with lamb, chicken kebob chunks, puffy bread, regular pita chips, potato wedges, garlic pita chips, the addictive, most delicious chicken meatballs EVER, and rice pudding for dessert. See for yourself-best deal in town! Luckily for us, they keep this feast going all day and evening on Sundays. The chef/owner will come around and talk to patrons when he has time. You can tell he really takes pride in his business and food, and he sure deserves to do just that. I think the decor is interesting and cool! I get bored when faced with that dreaded "straight from Home Depot" look, or even that hipster minimalist thing. We always walk out of Kabob Castle happy, full, and feeling good. read more

You can't dine in but the carry out is fantastic! I ordered food for eight to be picked up the next day. The order was ready at the time promised. However I was a bit concerned that it would not be enough food. I was wrong! It was plenty of food for my guest and it taste great. For all you bread lovers, you will hurt yourself - it was fresh and hot! read more

tried for the first time on a wednesday and was back on friday. i got the chicken shawarma lunch combo and my boyfriend got the chicken cream chops(?) entree. his entree came with fries or rice, plus soup or salad, and a whole bag of bread that we split between us. a ton of food for a good price. so close to home and will definitely be returning often. read more

I have literally never left a Yelp review in my life but I just wanted to say that I came here four consecutive nights (yes, four) while visiting family during a crisis this month. Everything was horrible at that time except for this place, which gives you pita and toum with every meal. I have patrolled NYC since to locate similar toum, to poor results. I would eat here nightly still if I could. It's reasonably priced, fresh, open late, and the people there were so kind and did not comment on the fact that I appeared deranged and came there nightly. Thank you very much to this establishment for being there when I needed warm bread and comfort. I hope everyone goes here and spends lots of money forever. read more

Never again will I order from here. I ordered a carry out of grape leaves and opened the box.... 2 of them were mangled. read more

Kabob Castle - Ordered a carry out of grape leaves and opened the box and this is what I see... mangled grape leaves - Mediterranean Near Me - Clinton Township, Michigan

Woow I walk in and no one greets me. Yes, there were 3 employees at the counter, yet no one said hello or welcome, hell they could have said "Get Out", but I get nothing. I grab a menu and finally a young man asks to assist me. I make my order. I hope the food is good. I wanted a Fattoush Salad and I don't feel like going Downtown to Bucharest (YUM). read more

This is one of those places where you want an excuse to give it a five! The food is very good and the service is always nice. The garlic spread is so tasty that you could make a meal out of that alone. You always see the owner, which is one reason why I try to give it a five. Next time you drive by it, turn around and go back. It can be hard to see and overlooked, but stop doing so. The decor is not a reason to give it a five! Which is why I also want to give it a five! The food is nicely crafted and you can tell they care about quality. My biggest mistake in not giving it a truly fair ranking is that I have never been there at a buffet time, however, knowing how tasty the food is I don't want to chance it or find out that I might gain a lot of weight if it is better than the daily fare. This is a great place to eat and everyone should experience it. read more

Chicken Shawarma was AMAZING. The garlic sauce and fresh bread are to die for honestly. So happy we found this place!!

It's times like these that I really wish Yelp! offered the ability to rate in half stars because this place is more along the lines of three and a half for me. The food was decent, but it also had a few short comings. Overall it is your typical Lebanese/Middle Eastern joint and nothing jumped off the plate that gave it that "wow factor" for me. While it is nice to see a business so highly rated on here, I question these two things; 1) Have these other reviewers dined at similar places in the Metro Detroit area such as La Saj, Saraha, La Marsa, etc. to compare options? 2) The validity of some of these reviews as a few look fabricated. Now for the record, I wasn't the only one who thought some of them look questionable as others mentioned the same thing to me. I truly hope that is not the case though. As for the food, the Shish Tawook Lemon Oregano had great flavor and most importantly was moist and tender - I was able to cut the pieces in half with my fork. I opted for the Chicken Lemon Rice Soup instead of a Salad and while it was okay it lacked any essence of lemon. It's essentially just chicken and rice soup. This was a bit of a disappointment as I was really looking forward to that bright pop of lemon you'd be expecting. The rice that came with my entree was your everyday ordinary rice pilaf which was a little bland, but mixing in the lemon oregano sauce from the chicken made it so much better.. Their garlic sauce had that nice sharpness you want it to have (well at least what I want it to have) which is good, but everyone raves about how unique their "puffy" bread is which takes me back to the two things I questioned earlier. There are many places that offer this same style of bread and do it a lot better too. My biggest gripe which is one of the main reasons why I lowered my rating was the service. While the lady who waited on our table was nice and friendly, she totally neglected us the entire time. Basically she took our order, delivered our food, and then never came back until she was ready to give us the bill. Our water glasses stayed visibly empty and at the edge of our table a good 80% of the time we were there. Not once did we ever get a refill. For me this is a HUGE no-no as I firmly believe your glass should never be completely empty unless you yourself turned away a refill. If the place was packed and she was juggling a large number of tables then I would check this off as a simple oversight, but besides us and one other table, the place was empty. I even attempted to flag her down multiple times to request more water, but it was as if she had blinders on and didn't see me. That neglect alone drops my rating from five to four. Couple that with a few gripes about the food (which is why I wish I could rate by half stars) takes me down to three. Don't get me wrong, I am in no way trying to bash this place or discourage others from going as I too will be back to give it another shot. I am just stating my opinions on a few things and hope my next experience will be better. read more

OMG OMG OMG OMG!!! Thank you Yelp!! My friend and I were over at Rayz on Groesbeck and were looking for some carry out to take back to her place after a long day of holiday fun... I pulled up Yelp on my phone and Voila! It led us to this absolute gem of garlicky greatness!!! We ordered the chicken schwarma platter with rice, the lentil soup, and an order of hummus. Good Lord I can't tell you how damn effing good this stuff is!! Everything, sooo good! the garlic sauce was on point, the chicken was moist and flavorful, and the puffy bread was just so soft and warm and amazing. The hummus, perfect!!! I swear my mouth is watering just thinking about it. There was plenty for both of us, plus leftovers and I think the tab may have been $20... It's places like this that make me think of moving, just to be in their delivery area! I would venture to say most of their business is carryout, but there are seats inside, and they boast a buffet on Sundays. /Schwarma!! read more

this place has only been open about two weeks now, and I can't get enough. finally a good Middle Eastern Restaurant in the area. every time I've eaten here, the food has been more than fresh. chicken is extremely juicy and tender. garlic sauce and pita is provided for free when you dine in. they offer fresh juices, and I recommend the power mix. you can hear the juicer going in the back when they make it. all in all, the staff is friendly and the food is good. highly recommended. read more

Kabob Castle - A wild Dewey in his favorite habitat. - Mediterranean Near Me - Clinton Township, Michigan

The food is great, the owner Ali is a super nice guy. The manager is black and racist against White people and discriminated me for being white. She refused to give me any bread when I informed the checkout girl I was missing it for my order. She proceeded to argue with her coworker in front of customers shouting she put bread in there and refusing to give me any.She then made me bring my carry out bag back in just to show her I didn't have bread. She had a nasty attitude as if I was asking for something extra. This manager has been rude, disrespectful and not polite several times I went it. She was screaming to the owner in the back and completely unprofessional. I ordered carry outs at this establishment on a weekly basis. However, I will not be back due to racial discrimination for being white, racism is unacceptable for anyone. I hope the owner realizes that she is chasing customers away and replaces her with someone who actually is NOT a racist and friendly in dealing with customers. My family owned and operated restaurants for over 20 years and that behavior is completely unacceptable. All over some bread that's free with an order. Because I'm white I was disrespected and I'm leaving this review to let people know. One customer lost and I will be telling everyone I know to not support this business due to racism of White people. One love. read more

Probably one of the best middle eastern meal I've had in terms of the food quality. We had Garlic Almond Gallaba (chicken), meet with grape leaves, chicken kabob and mango shake. Excellent execution: The food was perfectly cooked. I've had the best grilled vegetables ever! The chicken kabob was smokey and juicy. Perfect seasoning and beautiful use of spices. Have to agree with Tony T. here: I wish they were in a better location and there will be more people who know this place! Ourselves included always drove by and didn't notice the place at all. We were brought in by Groupon this time so it's great that they've started doing it. Salute to the Chef! Absolutely going back with or without Groupon and will recommend the place to friends! read more

I tried take out from this place based on yelp reviews. The inside of the place is... *incredibly* basic. But they helped me quickly and sent me on my way. I had the Shwarma Combo. Both we tasty and well cooked. No frozen chicken breast here!! I will say that in take out, their portion of garlic sauce was not enough!! They have a buffet on weekends I'm excited to try. Ill update. read more

I wasn't greeted right away but that's ok. She was getting an order for another customer in the back, which it gave me time to look over the menu. I ordered the hommous and lamb grapeleave sandwich, small tabbouli and warm bread and garlic. Everything was fantastic. read more

The bread is the Boom! Always warm. The food is delicious. They have a nice lunch menu. The staff is always nice and friendly.

I always develop some level of suspicion when I walk into a restaurant at what is ostensibly prime time, and I'm the only patron. Such was the case the other night at subject. But, I've since learned that they roll up the sidewalks at 6:00 pm in Clinton Township (I was a patron at about 8:00 p.m.). Especially when it's 2 degrees outside. This establishment received stellar Yelp reviews, and the manager of the Hotel at which I stayed favors it, so I gave it a whirl. I will never begrudge a small business owner the fact that his establishment fails the Metropolitan Home design test. I will say that this place could use a little work-split upholstery in the booths, stained ceiling tiles, unbussed tables. The food was mostly excellent- the bread and tahini was superb, and the lentil soup was fantastic. The Debond Chicken, which the super friendly hostess suggested and I went with against my better judgment, was really flavorful and ridiculously plentiful, but parts of it were under cooked. And the rice that accompanied the chicken was a bit on the bland side. All in all, a three star experience. I will try it again on my next trip, and I'll try the shwarma. read more

Kabob castle is one of the best restaurants around they have great food and great customer service! I wrote a song for them for being such an amazing restaurant! Here is my song I can't believe that I found out about a certain restaurant that I never forget the name of...Kabob Castle! ... Does the name ring a bell? That's because Kabob Castle is like a rainbow after a storm or Friday payday to be honest. They have the best food that will have you coming back for more. There is a place in my heart for Kabob Castle ! I promise you that! read more

Visited this place on a Sunday for their buffet, overall a good deal, fresh salad, hummus, soup and a variety of entries, recommend this place I will be returning read more

The service was stellar. Our waitress, Nirvana, was very friendly and went above and beyond for us. The food was absolutely amazing. They bring the traditional garlic and warm pita to your table. The salad dressing is absolutely to die for and so fresh tasting. I had the vegetarian grape leave sandwich which was super tasty. My mom got a $10 special that came with hummus, salad, beef kafta, chicken Tawook and chicken shwarma. There was so much she has left overs for at least one more meal. This place is definitely worth it. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars. They also deliver! Definitely a bonus if you live in the area. read more

This is the best Mediterranean food on the east side I've been there at least 50 times. I have had parties at my house and they have catered the food and it was fantastic. If you like lamb shish kebabs, chicken kebabs, Hummas garlic sauce the best bread fantastic salads fresh and crunchy remember to get feta on top. I would recommend this place for food read more

TERRRRRRIBLE SERVICE ON CARRY OUT - DO NOT EAT HERE - THEY DON'T CARE. ORDERED 2 simple items, and they managed to forget one. I ordered a simple carry out last Friday. One (1) chicken shawarma salad and one (1) order of small humus. The woman taking my order told me it would be ready in 10 minutes. I arrived roughly 15 minutes later and Ali (the worker, later learned manager) asked me what I had ordered, and after explaining he THEN went into the kitchen to begin preparing my order. He told me he would "hook me up." YEAH, YOU COULDA "HOOKED ME UP" by beginning my order after I placed the phone call 15 minutes prior. There was one table occupied and I was the only person picking up an order. NOT BUSY WHATSOEVER. THREE (3) times I explained my order. Once over the phone, once upon arrival and once more while preparing my meal. The woman who took my order even told him a FOURTH time to include a small humus. After waiting 15 minutes (after arriving 15 minutes - so 30 minutes total) my order was ready. I even tipped them $2 for the take out. When I returned home I opened my order to discover they had not included my humus. HOW DO YOU SCREW UP A 2-ITEM SIMPLE ORDER? Simple, THEY DIDN'T CARE. I called them immediately to express my displeasure and they told me to come back. YEAH, COME BACK, that's convenient. Drive another 30 minutes round trip to have cold chicken in my salad. He told me he was the manager and his name was ALI. He said, just ask for me next time, "I'LL HOOK YOU UP!" I WILL NEVER RETURN OR GIVE THEM ANOTHER DIME OF MY MONEY AGAIN. POOR POOR POOR SERVICE. AND THE CHICKEN WAS OVERCOOKED. read more

Always a delight to grab take out from this place! It never disappoints!! So much bang for your buck!! I'll be ordering over and over again!

Excellent middle eastern food! My family was looking for a new restaurant to try and came across the reviews for Kabob Castle and decided to try it. When we pulled up the restaurant was empty and the decor was less than desirable. We almost didn't eat here but we're so glad we did!! We ordered the dinner for 3 and a carrot smoothie. We fed 4 of us and brought half of the food home as leftovers for only $38. Everything was fresh, bread was warm, excellent flavor, and overall delicious. Service was great too. We will be back. read more

If I can give us 10 stars I would!. Second time I ate here and the food was absolutely terrific. I ordered lamb kebabs, chicken kebabs, rice, fattoush salad, Grape leaves, tabouli salad.. The dinners came with garlic paste, the little brick oven breads, salad dressing, owner gave me a sample of the Hummus which it was awesome! I asked for the lamb to be well done and it was cooked to perfection. Had a nice char to it and seasoned perfect! Chicken was juicy and not over cooked.. The whole dinner was very fresh tasting, even the charred carrots tasted fresh! I wish they were in a better location where they would be more visible and more busy.... I am telling everyone I know to try this place.... You will not be disappointed read more

I have grown to really like this place. The food has always been excellent. I'm a huge fan of their chicken shawarma entree. The chicken is very juicy and flavorful. Their garlic paste isn't as strong as I'd like, but I'm growing to enjoy that as well. I usually eat here at least once a week. The trick here is the service. To their credit, they have been trying to hire more. Sometimes the service is stellar, other times it's very lack luster. I almost always see the owner/cook out talking to people. He seems genuinely concerned with how they are enjoying their food and experience. That is the reason I keep coming back. The interior otherwise is dated, but I don't really care about that at all. I come here for the food :) There hours are quite good, they're open until 9 or later. They do offer lunch delivery, but I haven't tried that. I prefer to dine in. Also, they are offering a buffet on Sundays now, but I have yet to try it. All in all, this is the best I have near me. The other place I'm a huge fan of is down on Gratiot and 8.5 mile. Not that it's all that far, but I'm lazy and I love the shorter drive :) read more

Great food with abundant portions well worth the price. The garlic butter is delicious and addictive.

I love this place. Very yummy. I give it 4 stars because I'm pretty sure it made me sick once.

Ok, this was a real surprise. I ordered 3 sandwiches and a small order of hummus. They offered me a glass of water while I waited, and even got to chat with their landlord, a kindly senior lady who has quite the business savvy. I took the carry-out bags home and shared the lunch with my brother. When I opened the bags, I was very pleased. Included with the sandwiches were 3 tubs of garlic spread and a dozen warm pita pockets (I think they were baked on site). The sandwiches, WOW! The beef shawarma had the right amount of sauce and condiments and quite tasty. The chicken shawarma was mind-blowing; moist and tender. The real kicker though was the grape leaves shawarma. What an explosion of flavors on the palette. The other reviewers are spot on. My new favorite lunch spot. Can't wait to try some dinner. read more
