    hummus with meat
    Stuart S.

    Who woulda thunk that this city is a majorly culturally diverse area. Home to so many varieties of food and drinks. Seated in the back half of the epicenter of downtown Dearborn. Likes this kabob place that came highly recommended by so workers and YELP. Myself and two other chefs are away from home on assignment. Wanted something different to eat. This place did not disappoint. We all shared all of our samples and got the same entrees as well. We all really enjoyed our company and dinner. Sadly we were so full there was no room for dessert. The restaurant seemed a bit cold with all the tile and woodwork but the service shone. She realized that us chefs just wanted the real deal and we got it... Highly recommend this place...

    Falafel sandwich with Hummus
    Gada F.

    Very packed falafel sandwich with all the veggies and sauces. You have to ask them to prepare the sandwich with hummus rather the. Garlic sauce and in my opinion it's tastes better. Highly recommend!

    Such a great spot! Everything was super fresh and delicious, and the service was fast. The vibe inside is awesome and so welcoming. I'll definitely be coming back soon!

    Food was still good but I feel like it wasn't consistent. Went on a weekday, wasn't too busy, but they kept giving plastic spoons and cups and said they ran out of real ones. That's fine I guess. But the food was differently made than last year. Still good, to be clear, just...different. Maybe they got new chefs or something.

    In town for work. Common recommendation is the solid Middle Eastern food scene. Saw this place on Yelp and decided to give it a try. There's a parking garage in the rear and plenty of spots. I did enter through the rear of the establishment since I parked there. The menu is pretty extensive. Ended up getting the half order of hummus. A basket of warm pita and two sauces came out. I initially thought that was the pita. This was complimentary I believe. The garlic sauce is solid. The other one is a spicy sauce of some sort. This spicy one was super good. The hummus came out. Very smooth and flavorful. For my entree, I got the Shish Kafta. You can choose between lamb or chicken. I went with the chicken with a side of rice and my choice of soup or salad. I opted for the lentil soup. That came out piping hot. This was delicious. Flavorful and good texture. My entree came out and wow. The portion is way more than what you pay for. Came with 4 very huge blocks of chicken kefta. Nicely seasoned and grilled to perfection. Had a nice char on the outside, but still juicy on the inside. I used the two sauces from earlier to give it an extra kick. I washed it all down with a mint lemonade. This was absolutely refreshing. Clean place, very good food and the customer service was solid.

    Wow! I tried the gallayah with rice and almond which was fantastic. Also some of the best baba ganoush I've ever had. Wonderful attentive service as well.

    I had a large group reservation and the team went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience! Their party platters are great for a group and was delicious! We ate so much food and just had a good time. All the ingredients were fresh and well seasoned. I'll definitely be back!

    Delicious Lebanese cuisine. The portion sizes are huge to share with friends and service is excellent. My favorite was the complimentary house made bread with garlic sauce. So good. I wanted to bring more of their spicy garlic sauce home. We were accidentally given a dish we didn't order and were allowed to keep it. That was also a surprising favorite of mine. I have no idea what it was but the next time I eat here I will show my photo to order it. I like the Middle Eastern decor with large tables and booths that are good for groups. This is a great option for a nice dinner in downtown Dearborn.

    Small hummus
    Cristin G.

    This is my top choice for middle eastern food. The hummus is creamy and buttery and pairs so well with the warm bread and garlic sauce. I especially like shish tawook (chicken kabob), shish kabob, and chicken sajji (thin sliced spicy chicken). Both entrees come with a choice of soup or salad, and either rice or fries. I recommend the chicken vegetable soup or fattoush salad, and the fries and rice are equally delicious. Service this time was slow, but the dining room was packed as it was a Saturday night. The interior appears upscale but I can tell you that it is very family friendly. Make sure and take a walk downtown once you've finished your meal as Downtown Dearborn has lots to see and do

    Combination platter
    Uzair A.

    Spectacular! It was our last meal during our visit to Michigan, and quite a way to round it off. Dearborn obviously has no shortage of Mediterranean restaurants and I'm so glad this was on our list. We got the combo platter for 2 on the server's recommendation and it lived up to the hype - and absolutely enormous Middle East-style platter of varied and delicious meats/kabobs with salad and rice that the two of us could absolutely not finish (despite valiant attempts). They bring a basket of warm bread as well at the start which was delicious (just don't overeat it). There's plenty of seating and parking.

    Great food, service and location for family and friends to enjoy! The start of your meal is with a basket of pita with spicy garlic and regular garlic dipping sauce. We ordered a small hummus and we were happy we did. But be careful to not overeat on the pita Because the entrees are plentiful but more importantly--DELICIOUS! Side note: if you like lemonade, highly recommended trying their Lemonade Mint, it was great! Each entree comes with a chose of rice or fries and a soup or salad. From some many choices, I went with traditional shawarma (combo beef and chicken), rice, and the chicken lemon rice soup It was great! The server was beyond helpful, had a friend that had never had middle eastern food so she walked him through the choices by asking him what type of food he generally likes from other regions he was familiar with. The restaurant was filled with warmth and allows for intimate and/or family style dining. The outside seating is also great though we sat inside. A highly recommended and must if you're in Dearborn!

    Drove in from Chicago to try this place. 8.8/10 Lemon chicken rice soup was so creamy and perfectly offset the cold outside 10/10 The fattoush salad was well balanced vinaigrette with the right fresh level of sumac. Just wish there was more chips for a better crunch factor. 9.5/10 Buttery soft lamb chops. Perfectly seasoned 10/10 Chicken Sajii had rave reviews and came highly recommended to my friend and I. We found that it was tough, dry, and a bit overly seasoned with cayenne (maybe) to a finishing taste of bitterness. 7/10

    We stopped by for a late lunch during Memorial Day weekend. It was our first time there and our amazing server Najlaa recommended the combo for two mixed grilled meat platter which came w fattoush salad and hummus pita. It was incredible. So tasty and highly recommend. We took more than half home for dinner later on. Great hospitable service and ambiance!

We came back again because the food was so good. I got the mushroom French omelette and my wife got the 3 egg Mediterranean dish with beef bacon . Both were pretty fricken amazing! However, yesterday When we arrived around 10am they were way understaffed!! I was under the impression that one server didn't show. The poor hostess Hala was having to do literally everything. Guests were left waiting at the door. She would run back to seat them. Took orders. Delivered the orders. You're lucky to have such a hard worker. Hala was taking care of everything and very organized. She knows the operation and She deserves a big raise!!! Around 10:20 that day a group of staff 6 or so started showing up. I would assume that they were all arriving according to their schedule. Crazy scheduling. Poor management. But again the food was great. And the second day they were staffed well and everything was great. So I changed my original 2 star to 5. Maybe the first day was just a glitch. Enjoy!!
