The food was absolutely delicious! The lamb kebobs were so well seasoned and cooked, and the tabbouleh was so fresh and flavorful and made with pure olive oil. The meat grapeleaves also tasted very authentic. I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Had the best dinner here in La Shish, Dearborn. My bf comes here regularly for lunch and brought me to try. It was so good. They start you with a fluffly pita style bread that you dip in a garlic aoili butter or red sauce then a house salad. Loved the fresh and citric flavors in the salad. It had cucumbers and tomatoes and well seasoned. We got the family platter that came with chicken and beef kabobs without the skewers. Almond rice that was spectacular because it mixed with the sauce from the meat. Reminded me of home cooking. Served with veggies such as squash, carrots and peppers. Our waitress was LV, she was super nice and energetic and gave us refills of soda throughout the meal. Oh before I forgot, there is no beer or alcohol here, free parking, right next to a strip club read more

Came here for a quick lunch and that it was! Overall, service was very quick and we were in and out in less than an hour. Pricing is what surprised me the most. A sandwich shawarma was only $6.50!! It was also one of the best shawarma's I've ever had. I look forward to coming back here read more

I have paste this from Google, this is what is says about kabob dinners at lashish it says that the salad come with the dinner however no one mention it when I order 4 dinners which came out to $91.00 so when I called I was told that I have to pay an extra $2.00 and when I explain that I have been going there for over 10 years I brush off and they did not show any concern if they lost a long time customer.

I just pulled the longest strand of hair out of my mouth man smdh. And I love this place, the food is usually delicious. But today is a sad day. Can't even finish the rest of my meal, because why aren't you guys wearing hair nets back there? That hair was long as shit!!! GAGS read more

Would have giving 3 stars but when you se2 say old pre made Greek salad you really deserve zero stars and should be shut down because this is about a low as a restaurant can go. I ordered the Greek salad with a side of chicken and with I vote was some decent chicken but the Greek salad was so old it was wilted and all of the edges of the leafs of the salad were brown also the tomatoes were old and soft the cucumbers were headed to their death so I threw the salad away it is just a total disrespect to the customer to serve something like read more

Excellent!! This is the place to come for a Fattoosh! Probably the best in my opinion! Make sure to get the chicken shawarma on top! Delish! Bread and toum (garlic dip) complimentary and was very good! Good atmosphere, service good and the food came out quick! Highly recommend for some Middle Eastern! read more

Great service, better food! Ordered lamb kabob to go and had some hummus and bread while I waited. Excellent! I don't even live on that side of town but I've had a taste for lamb kabobs and it did not disappoint. So I will try and stop there again next time I'm out there. The ambiance was nice and sort of upscale. But was decorate for the holiday which was very pleasant! Thank you read more

La Shish proved to be a solid lunch option during a recent trip to Dearborn. My husband and I were in the area to run some errands and wanted to grab some delicious Middle Eastern food. The place he first recommended wasn't yet open for lunch (it was before noon), and he had heard from a coworker that La Shish was solid, so we headed on over around 11:30. We were promptly greeted upon walking in by a friendly server, and shown to our pick of tables, handing us menus before he went to grab our drinks. It was hard to decide exactly what I wanted - everything looked delicious! I finally decided on something lighter in a grape leaf wrap and a bowl of the crushed lentil soup, which I told the server when he arrived back with our drinks - Coke for my husband and a Diet for me. He also brought us a basket of the freshest, hottest pita breads, along with a tasty garlic spread. The soup came out first, and the bowl was a generous size. Flavors and consistency were just right, and I found myself finishing every last drop. My grape leaf wrap was very good - I didn't finish it all, mostly because I had really overdone it on the fresh pita bread. But I was able to take the leftovers home and enjoy it a bit later. When the craving for Middle Eastern food hits you in the Dearborn area, I can now second the recommendation for La Shish as a solid choice. read more

Don't let anyone tell you any different. The al's Shish restaurants are the best. Whenever i go to the Dearborn, Michigan region I stayed east there. This location is comfortable and the service is great. The problem is I want to eat too much as you can see from what i ordered. Epic great taste from the stuffed grapeleaves to the kabobs and the sides read more

Everything is worse now for some reason. Service is very slow, it is not like they have lines out the door. Why the hell they cook so slow. Bread and rice taste different than before. Only thing consistent is garlic paste. They maybe changed owner or cook. Disappointed read more

Went here with a group, and everyone was happy when we left. The service was exceptional: I was quickly united with my group, we were frequently checked on , and food came quickly. All the orders were fabulous: lamb chops were cooked as ordered, pita was served warm, salads crispy, kabobs perfectly seasoned. Even the rice was memorable. I was told this was the best Mediterranean restaurant in Dearborn -- and that is saying something-- and I could not agree more with that sentiment! Top per thins off with perfect sweets at the end.... read more

What a wonderful dining experience! My husband and I were in Dearborn, Michigan from Toledo, Ohio to do some holiday shopping and we stopped at LaShish for dinner and from the moment we stepped out of the car and could smell the grilled meats to the moment we left, very full, we were happy. Our waitress, LV, was friendly, attentive, upbeat, and professional and even made a great suggestion on one of the items we ordered. We had the hummus with lamb and, at LV's suggestion, we got it a little spicy, and it was amazing! The meat was cooked to perfection and that little bit of spice didn't add much heat, but it really added a lot of flavor! The portion was huge for the price, so we just ended up getting half orders of the Greek salad and the Village salad and they were both delicious. The half order is a very substantial full salad....a full order must be enormous! The complimentary fresh from the oven little pita breads were so wonderful and went perfectly with the housemade "salsa" and garlic dip! We liked our food so much, we ended up ordering another hummus and lamb to go and dropped it off at our son's house on the way home. He loved it as well! We highly recommend this wonderful restaurant for excellent food, terrific service, and very nice atmosphere. Come hungry and leave full and happy!! read more

Really good selections. Price point is still reasonable. Iconic place really considering its history and ownership. Glad to know this one survived. read more

We picked this place because my Mom was up for going out for her birthday dinner. So we scrambled for a carry out replacement. WE tossed around food ideas and everyone settled on middle eastern. I remembered driving by this place so I figured was worth a try. We ordered a mix of chicken and lamb kabobs, with rice and salad. We were very surprised that we had way more food than we expected and everyone was happy. The meal came with rice and grilled vegetables , plenty of bread. I can say my Mom was very happy with her birthday dinner at home. For the amount of food for 6 adults , it was not expensive. I'll definitely be back. read more

We had a nice meal here with old friends from Detroit. We all regretted the lack of alcoholic beverages but the mixed smoothie (called Sweet Breeze) was refreshing and delicious. We enjoyed hot pitas that came to the table with toum, a garlic spread, that we got a second round and I resolved to learn to make it myself (hopefully for the dinner party we are hosting next week). Hummus for the table was fine, but the biggest hit among the appetizers was tomato kibbee. Most of three of our party had the lamb shish kebab, and that meat was well flavored, but I had the salmon instead which came just cooked enough and flavorful. The rice that came with these mains was nicely done. Our friend Barbara has tabouleh as her main dish but by the time it arrived (looking oh so fresh and tasty) she was full. We had take-away containers for all of us, leaving well satisfied with our meal. read more

I won a $50 gift card from a blogger friend and it was expiring this week, so my boyfriend and I stopped by La Shish tonight for dinner. I think a long time ago there was a West Bloomfield location that I went to maybe once, but I had never been to this location before. Everything was delicious and I basically had to stop myself from licking my dinner plate ... The lemon/oregano sauce was perfection. Fresh bread and garlic was already on the table when I arrived. Their bread was very pillowy and tasty, and the garlic was on par with others I have had in the area. We both ordered mango lemonades and they came out to be more of an iced drink and were very good. For my entree, I ordered the Shish Tawook with the lemon oregano sauce (+$1 upcharge), and roasted veggies for my side. My boyfriend ordered the chicken and beef shawarma plate with rice and veggies. Both were delicious. His came with some sort of tahini sauce which I also liked. For dessert, we wanted to order the creme caramel, but they were out of both that and the rice pudding, so we got baklava, which was super tasty. It comes with four medium-sized baklava pieces. Waitservice was also very prompt except we did have to ask for water refills a few times. We had some bread and garlic left over, too, so I asked for a box to go for it and he actually brought me a whole new order of fresh bread, which was great customer service. I really liked the atmosphere of the restaurant as well, most of the seating area was booths. They have a lot of pretty holiday lights outside right now too. Overall, I'd give La Shish 4.5/5 stars and would definitely return. read more

Our waitress Angela was sweet and let us know the portions were huge gave us takeout boxes in advance treated us like royalty.

After several visits to La Shish, I really have no complaints! This is a great place for authentic Middle Eastern cuisine and you will never leave hungry. At least, I haven't...I have always been stuffed with leftovers to take home! The most recent time I was here I was with my entire family. We ordered the hommus veggie plate to share and the Shish Kabob plate for two with two tabouli salads. The hommus plate itself could feed a small country. It's huge! The kabobs were also delicious - I love the beef. The tabouli salad is fresh and light with a citrus dressing. The staff is super quick, with our waitress tending to us every couple minutes. She was so on top of filling up our drinks, remembering the different drinks each of us had. Overall, great experiences every time! You won't be disappointed. read more

I personally have not been to La Shish a while. However, my cousin was kind enough to have a couple of trays of food sent to me. We had deboned chicken with some mixed grilled veg. There was also rice and salad with house dressing. I thought that pita bread and garlic sauce would have come with it but none was given. Everything was good. I can't say that I was over the moon about anything. Both the chicken and the house dressing could have used more seasoning. The salad itself was deliciously fresh and crisp. The chicken was a little on the dry side but that could be from being in the aluminum pans they were in. One other small concern was that the pieces were not uniform. You had some very small pieces of thigh and also whole debone thighs. It made you feel like something was missing. But all in all, everything was tasty and hit the spot. read more

The food here is great. They seem to do a lot of carry out, which makes sense, because service while dining in is not a strong point. I've been three times now. The first didn't really count because the manager recognized me and gave me incredible service. The second and third times, she was gone so I was stuck with being just any old white person inside La Shish. The server was nice enough but only came to the table a couple times each visit. We had to ask for fresh bread two times before receiving any, right before our dishes arrived. Refills were impossible to come by since the server never came back around. Both times, we had to ask someone else to grab our server so we could get our bill to leave. Prices are decent. Decor is nice. It's very much a family restaurant, so you'll always encounter kids or large parties. Good food. Bad service. I'd venture to guess service would be better if you're Arabic, which I am not. read more

I've been eating at la shish since the 90s. This is one of the OG Mediterranean restaurants in the area. I had to pop in and see if was still as good as it was. I'm happy to report it's still awesome! The service was great. The restaurant is really clean. The pita bread is made and wood fired inside the restaurant. The sad part is the got rid of the Mediterranean chicken wings! Damn son. Everything they do is just a little better than other Mediterranean restaurants in the area. The garlic sauce is a cut above and just more fresh garlicky than other places. The rice is just better with the almonds on top. The deboned chicken is awesome, perfectly cooked. I got mixed white and dark and the white was very juicy. Everything was amazing and exactly like I remembered and service was excellent. Definitely stop by and try one of the OG Mediterranean restaurants in the area. read more

I have been a regular patron at LaShish for over 15 yrs, coming here from lansing (an hour and 30 minutes away) and i must say the service on my recent visit (today) was absolutely unacceptable, we waited for our food for over 45 minutes and even than we had to prompt the manager to get service. We got our food we asked for a check right away and needless to say i had to wait for my check even after finishing my meal and again had to prompt for it. The whole experience lasted over 2 hrs. read more

One of the best Middle Eastern restaurants in the area! Located on Michigan Avenue on the corner of Oakman, La Shish is great for take out or dining in. If you opt to eat in then you'll have the pleasure of taking in the beautiful, royal like decor of the large dining room or there's even patio dining in the spring/summer months. The host staff is always ready to greet and seat you. The wait staff carry on with the same high level of attention and servitude always checking in to see if you're enjoying your meal. And speaking of enjoying your meal -- the food is simply excellent. I happened to have a seat near the open kitchen which allowed me to observe that everything is prepared fresh and cooked to order. The menu has a great selection of appetizers, salads, traditional middle eastern favorites (kabobs, swarms) including vegetarian options. One of my go to meals is the red snapper, a while fish (takes 30 mins to prepare) served with your choice of side along tabbouli, hummus and baba ghanoush. A good accompaniment to any meal is a fresh squeezed raw juice or blended fruit smoothie mixed with banana and honey. And let's not forget dessert. I've been dying to try the red velvet cheesecake but I can never pass on the cream caramel or rice pudding. If you like middle eastern fare, try La Shish and your like will quickly turn to love! read more

We got sat in the back where they kept the dirty dishes, and the place was half empty. We requested no onion at all (and stressed it) onions were included. Their solution.. take them off the plate yet, leaving several large pieces on the plate. Ordered two drinks that we never got. Waitress just peeked in twice. "Everything ok," and off she went. Finished that nasty meal, then sat there for about 10 min waiting for this stupid waitress to take the bill. I finally had to walk to the front to have them ring me up. We eat out a lot, and I've never had this kind of treatment. I will NEVER eat here again, nor will I recommend this place to anyone. This one star is really a zero. read more
