Please find your way to this great little restaurant tucked between Value Center and Powerhouse Gym in MH. The food is awesome and the owners are hard-working and kind people. Portions are generous and every bite is delicious. If you don't know what to order, I recommend you try the Mediterranean combo so you can experience everything. read more

Prices are going up and plates are small and not really worth it. Very bland no flavor. Taste kinda old if you ask me. Just seems like they heat it up and serve it. Customer service is awesome! read more

Madison Heights Royal Grill - Chicken Shawarma Plate lunch - Mediterranean Near Me - Madison Heights, Michigan

I tried the chicken shawarma here. Tbh I was expecting a soft pita bread where my bite would go straight through with ease but it was moreso on the chewy side. It was a real mouth workout haha. The chicken inside was fresh and good but I think the pita bread needs some work. It's well priced at 5.99 for the size of it so I wasn't too disappointed. The staff are friendly and will help with recommendations if you can't choose. Overall okay, I would try other items on the list later on because the quantity of food looks a lot more with the other options but I wouldn't try the chicken shawarma again unless I know the bread is softer. Parking close and nearby, inside seating looked average to me. Grocery store next to it so you can get your groceries in after a meal. Nice location. read more

This is the best meal of my life! While staying at a nearby hotel, I discovered this incredible restaurant. The lamb chops melt in your mouth, the fresh salad is vibrant, the pita bread is soft and warm, and the chicken is perfectly seasoned. Every dish is served hot, flavorful, and comforting. On top of that, the owners welcome you with such warmth and kindness--it truly feels like home! هذا أفضل طعام تناولته في حياتي! أثناء إقامتي في فندق قريب، وجدت هذا المطعم الرائع. تذوب قطع لحم الضأن في الفم، والسلطة الطازجة منعشة، وخبز البيتا طري ودافئ، والدجاج متبل بطريقة مثالية. كل طبق يُقدم ساخنًا، ولذيذًا، ويمنحني شعورًا بالراحة. وفوق ذلك، يستقبلك أصحاب المطعم بترحيب دافئ وكرم لا يوصف، مما يجعلك تشعر وكأنك في بيتك! read more

While the food is excellent, I just picked up a carryout and was disappointed. I ordered a quart of soup and received a bowl. I also ordered a dozen bread and received 2 pieces of pita folded. I called the restaurant and they were not accommodating at all. The response I received was "well, I don't know what to tell you". Extremely poor customer service. So disappointed. We "used" to frequent this establishment, however this will be the last time. And we will tell everyone we know not to go there! read more

I'm so torn on this place that I loved so much. My love experience was limited to the hot bread, fried kibbee and the chicken fatoosh. All great with a twist on flavor since everyone has their own recipe. However, today I ordered a delivery and I give it 1 star. $19for lamb & hummus, $19 for beef sautee, $6 cheese sticks, $6 grilled veggies (all mushrooms) and $3 for 1/2 dz bread. There was no garlic sent with the entrees or the hot bread. The bread was a jaw breaker to chew and not even warm. The lamb and beef were like jerky strips. Unsure what sauce the used for the lemon, garlic cilantro as described for the beef sauté but it resembled more of a salty zip sauce. The fries that we ordered with it were smothered in a seasoning salt type topping. All of these hard strong salty flavors were beyond horrible. $70 of trash and it was hard enough to convince myself it was worth it. I won't be back but that doesn't mean this doesn't suit your flavor pallet. read more

I ordered the Greek chicken salad and was just disappointed that they led out a couple things like my olives and pita bread. The salad was drenched in olives oil dressing which is weird cause usually the dressing is always on the side and not oil. I couldn't finish my lunch. read more

First of all I come here often because I get grilled chicken after the gym and many times I could have complained for how dirty the inside is. I even found a smoked joint half lit sitting on one of their dining tables as I waited for my food. I told the front lady and she just laughed and removed it. 2. The old dirty man cooking the food loves to watch the window for people who park in their parking. Today I was parked before coming in for chicken and the man stared me down u til he came up to my window to tell me to find a new spot and to not park again or I'll get towed. I will never buy food from this place again. Absolute garbage just like the people working. Mediocre food anyways, I only came because of the convenience. read more

Ordered the chicken wing appetizer, it was not sautéed in garlic and lemon juice. Side of fries was not the same as the fries in pictures, assuming they ran out of the good frozen fries and settled for something less which is disappointing. The gallayah sandwich was quite good, had good flavor would of been perfect if they included a side of ranch oufff. Overall, would of just went to coney island if I knew I would get wing dings with sad fries... and could of just got a gyro for a fraction of the total. read more

Madison Heights Royal Grill - Side of sad fries - Mediterranean Near Me - Madison Heights, Michigan

Spinach pie is full of onions and very small portion. The Greek salad was horrible very wet and the manager tried to tell me that this was dressing . He refused to give me a refund and then he finally decided he was going to give me $10 instead of $18 . I wouldn't recommend his food for prisoners . This restaurant at 12:30 PM not a single customer . I should've knew better . read more

What a find! This place is fantastic. The food is just excellent! Everything is so fresh and expertly prepared. Best falafel I have ever had! You will love it. The atmosphere fear is laid back and cozy, the service super friendly. It's the perfect place to settle in with an old pal and catch up. A hidden gem I will be returning to again and again. Delightful! read more

Stopped by Madison Heights Royal Grill when I happened to be in the Clawson/ Madison Heights area one day, and I'm glad I did! This place seems to be a lesser known restaurant in the area, but in reality it's a hidden gem. It's located in a corner of a strip mall, but there's plenty of parking and it's easy to get to. My friends and I stopped by on a Saturday afternoon and there was plenty of space inside and we were served very quickly. The waitstaff was very knowledgeable about their products and can help with any questions easily. We got our food very quickly, and it tasted fresh, authentic, and overall great! Keto/ Low Carb folks: it's easy to get a Keto meal here, and they're happy to substitute grilled vegetables for rice/ fries, so definitely check it out! read more

I order a lot of Middle Eastern carry-out. This place has top-notch quality food. The chicken kabob was as juicy as I've ever had, and the tabouli and the fattoush were perfectly fresh. I rarely review, but I felt compelled as the food was excellent! read more

Great fattoush salad if you aren't a big green leaf lover like myself. The baba ghanouj was to die for, along with the spinach pie. The only questionable item was the chicken shawarma, which was just a wrap with chicken and pickles and little to no sauce or much of anything else. Would try this spot again, but I'm not sure I'd get a shawarma. read more

Hidden gem tucked away in a retail plaza you would never know they are there. We had a wonderful work lunch with a large group of people. Everything came out fresh and delicious! Everything from the lentil soup to the garlic dip to the lamb chops tasted amazing! Quick friendly service & delicious fresh food. read more

excellent food. very pleased could tell food freshly made. best baba ghsmoosh I've had in awhile

We ordered from Royal Grill tonight using the online ordering feature within Yelp. Once the order was submitted, a message is displayed that says "waiting for order confirmation from the restaurant ". That status remained for 30 minutes without changing, so I called the restaurant where the call rang five times before going to voicemail. The voicemail message doesn't even identify the business, it just says "please leave a message". I assumed the restaurant was closed, so I just hung up. They called me back after a few minutes and after I asked about my online order, they said it was ready. I showed up, and the restaurant was dark and vacant with only two employees. A guy sitting in a booth playing on his phone hollered to the back where a woman came out with her hands dripping of dish soap bubbles. She grabbed our order and handed it to me saying I was all set. (I paid using Apple Pay online). I brought it home, only to find the order was mostly incorrect. I double checked my digital receipt and verified that we ordered correctly. We figured, we might as well eat it, it's not worth the trouble to return it. The food was cold and bland. The rice looked and tasted like instant rice. The bread was super chewy, like it was days old. The chicken also tasted like it was reheated in a microwave. The Chicken Lemon Rice Soup we ordered, turned out to be Crushed Lentil. Even being wrong, it was probably the only decent food item we received. Lesson learned. We won't be back. read more

Not good at all. The fattoush dressing was basically just oil and vinegar, was bitter. I got baba ghanoush and it was foul. And the bread was just store bought flat pieces. The only good thing was the shawarma chicken. Not worth $30. I guess if you want good mediterranean/middle Eastern you gotta go to Dearborn. read more

We had waters on our table quickly. We ordered the Royal grill vegetarian platter, after realizing we wanted all of the items on the platter a la carte, but replaced the stuffed cabbage with veggie grape leaves since they were out of stuffed cabbage today. My hubby ordered the chicken shawarma plate. The owner stopped by to chat with us, the place has been here for over a year but he took it over recently. He brought out some fresh Pita pockets after asking us our preference for the oven Pita or the standard big pitas. We of course took the oven Pita any day of the week. I like the sesame on the pita pockets, it adds a nice texture and I actually do like their garlic butter, it has a bit of tartness to it and I don't usually the garlic butter, only person that's not in love with it. The crushed lentil was yummy and piping hot. The hummus is super smooth and tasty, the baba ghanouj is smoky and super flavorful. The waitress was pleasant and the owner is really very friendly and attentive. The cook/chef was cooking up a mad frenzy of tantalizing yum in the kitchen. The royal vegetarian is an unbelievable amount of food. My hubby laughed as all of the plates on the table were part of the platter when he only had his crushed lentil, his white chicken meat shawarma was a couple of minutes behind. He loves and prefers white meat over the mix or dark meat at many places. The grape leaves are decent as are the falafel. The grilled veggies are nicely grilled and a nice accompaniment to the grape leaves and the falafel. My hubby liked the white meat in his shawarma and found the shawarma dish tasty and oh so filling. We would definitely come back. read more

Came in here on a whim because I really wanted middle eastern food. The woman who was working and waited on me was so sweet and attentive! The fattoush was yummy and the rice... OMG... I don't know what they use in their rice, but it's magical!!! Great place to eat! read more

I work locally in Clawson and live nearby is Madison Heights. The employees here are very accommodating. I have simply been kind to them and they always give me the best service.

My family just left Royal Grill after a very confusing encounter, we were very indecisive and obviously did not know what we were getting into. In the end we decided we were going to leave after appetizers because we were actually in search of breakfast food. The point I want to make is: the server was obviously put in a frustrating situation and he was extremely kind and understanding and we look forward to coming back. We have been before and the food was great and they also make a great lemonade! Sorry for our miscommunication Royal Grill, but thank you for being so kind and understanding. read more

I don't even know where to start!! Okay here I go, I am basically a middle eastern food connoisseur. I have tried sooo many places but hands down this place takes the Win. We were in the plaza about to order sushi gallery when we decided to get royal grill instead.. and THANK GOD we did! We got the combo tray for 2 which comes with a TON on food. Every single item was DELICIOUS, I mean from the chicken lemon rice to the fattoush to the lamb kabob down to even the baklava( not included in the combination plate). I will be coming here for my middle eastern lunches and dinners from here on out!! Seriously can't say enough good things, don't think just go! Sorry I only have 1 picture, everyone jumped on the sides before I could capture it! read more

When I told my gf I wanted to eat at "Royal Grill" for dinner she looked at me sideways.. she thought it was a cheap diner by the name (nothing wrong with diners, she just knows I probably wouldn't want to go to one for dinner). So glad we checked it out too! The staff was incredibly friendly, it seems all family owned and run. We had the shawarma and kabobs and they were delicious. All white meat, perfectly grilled with great flavor. A great experience overall! Will be back!! read more

The food tastes the closest to my mom's cooking and not too greasy nor salty! The falafel, the shawarma, the hummus and the kabob all approved by my mom! Love it and it'll be my new go to place when hungry! But I just wish it was a bit less pricey read more

We were downtown in Detroit and the wait for Greek food was too much. We headed over here based on Yelp reviews and we were amazed. EVERYTHING was soooo good. The lamb chops were the perfect blend of seasoning, flavor, and temperature. We also tried the Greek salad, chicken shawarma and both were excellent!!! We brought our three year old and she enjoyed the nuggets. Pro tip, check them out!! Jp read more

This does not even deserve 1 star. an INSULT! I waited for 20 minutes for the "Falafel Special ". They couldn't even put in 1 pita? I GUESS they thought I was too "white" to know good Lebanese food. But being form Canada - which has INCREDIBLE Lebanese food- I am DEEPLY insulted! How DARE they charge me $9.99 for a "Special". I have never felt so ripped off! DISGUSTED! read more

Madison Heights Royal Grill - Basil seed Lemon!!! - Mediterranean Near Me - Madison Heights, Michigan

My daughter was craving garlic and pita. We had about 45 minutes to eat, and this place was close. We were there at an odd time, there were other tables but I am guessing this place packs up in the noon hour. I am always hesitant with "new management" posters hanging out front - in this case I am not sure what the old management was like but the "new" folks seemed nice. I asked if pita and garlic came with the meal and the waitress made an odd point of making sure we knew it cam with ordering food. And she drug her feet in bringing it out - my daughter was starving and we could have omitted that charade. Otherwise I don't have complaints. The food was good - there are other places nearby that would have been less expensive, but for the amount of time we had and in an effort to shush my daughter...this was a hit. read more

Adding grilled salmon to a fatoosh salad - awesome and a delicious changed from the norm - grilled chicken. Royal Power juice was delicious as well. Owner was very nice and accommodating especially since they were nearing closing time. With a carry out he offered the fresh bread but I declined.

Madison Heights Royal Grill - Chicken Fattoush salad - Mediterranean Near Me - Madison Heights, Michigan

Love me some Mediterranean. So in the area and looking for a quick bite, pulled out yelp and Royal grill came up, So why not give it a try. Pulled up and banner out front says new owner, ok why not. The place is clean but empty, Still like I said we love Mediterranean and go for it. Sit wherever you want, then they bring you some free fresh bread and garlic sauce and we go for the usual, Lg. Hummus, lg. falafel, lg. Greek fattoush salad (not on the menu but they make it for us anyways) fries, a chicken shwarma and a bowl of crushed lentils. This was a ton of food at Royal grill, the hummus was creamy and tasty the falael was cooked very good crunchy on the outside with a good flavor, the shwarma was a good size and tasty and the crushed lentils soup had a great flavor with a little spice kick. All in all everything was good no complaints and this was another successful Mediterranean meal. When in the area looking for a good shwarma and hummus we will be back. read more

Madison Heights Royal Grill - Greek fattoush - Mediterranean Near Me - Madison Heights, Michigan

The food is outstanding! Best Mediterranean in the Troy/Royal Oak area. Authentic and Fresh.

A clean nicely decorated middle-eastern restaurant where the dine in crowd was only we two and one other couple. The place could seat 30 people. The proprietor was a very friendly lady whose husband cooked and did other tasks. Food was excellent and plentiful. Prices slightly high for this type of restaurant, but in view of their travails with covid, I have no gripe. The Outback Steakhouse in the same mall had 1.5 hr wait for a table! read more

I sure hope this place lasts! A hidden gem. Portions enough for leftovers the next day. read more

Missed breakfast! Moving to "brunch" on raining Sunday. I was in the mood for Middle East meal and found this place nearby. I ordered "Lunch Special" for $8.99 that includes a sandwich plus side and soft drink. I had hot tea instead soft drink. I picked Shawarma (lamb), it turned out to be good wrapped sandwich along with Cheese stock, it was all right although hot tea was good along with Baklawa. Yummy! The host was friendly and easy going person and enjoyable place on raining day! read more

This has always been a favorite for my boyfriend and I, and we have been regulars here for a couple years now. I'm sorry to say that while we may come back again, we will be looking for a new place for middle eastern food. There has been a change in ownership in the last month or so, and while the new staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, the food just isn't as good as it used to be. Tonight's visit was the second since the change, and it has definitely gone from being the best place around to average at best. My boyfriend loves his lamb, and nearly always gets the lamb chops, although tonight he got a shawarma combo. He said the chicken was ok, but it was nothing special, and his lamb, like it was last week, was good, but as good as it was before. My usual lentil soup, always absolutely delicious before, is now incredibly bland. I swear I saw noodles in it, and there was some weird textured bits in it, like someone had added lentils to a chicken noodle soup base, and then ran it through a blender. It wasn't terrible, but it definitely wasn't up to par with anything I've been served at any middle eastern restaurant before. The chicken on my fattoush salad had a bizarre texture to it, but tasted just fine. It was sort of squishy and sort of rubbery, like it had been frozen and not properly thawed before cooking. It looked like it had been sliced with the dullest knife they could find. It was a little bit of a mess when the waitress brought it out to me. We both ordered the mint tea, and it definitely wasn't right. The first sip or two was good, but after that there was a bad taste to it. The generous portions of garlic sauce are gone. We specifically asked for extra but the waitress brought out just a tiny little cup with my boyfriend's entree, long after we'd had our bread. We both got our salads at the same time... only mine was my entree and his was a starter. All in all it wasn't a bad experience, but the quality we are used to just doesn't seem to be there anymore. With the number or places in the area, there really isn't any reason to keep making the drive out to this one. read more
