    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    When in Dearborn you will find your pick of Middle Eastern restaurants, since they have one of the largest Arabic populations in the world. Malek Al kabob was our choice for today and it was awesome. This restaurant was super clean and decorated for Ramadan. We noticed the stone oven as we walked in and could see the fresh bread baking. Our waitress greeted us quickly and took our order right away. We ordered one order of chicken kabobs and one order of beef kabobs, an order of hummus and a fresh Mango Lassi for our daughter. Both meals came with soup. We got one vegetable beef and one chicken lemon rice soup. To start, we watched them make the mango lassi from scratch and it was the best we've had. The fresh bread with toom and hummus was awesome and fresh. The kabobs were both perfectly cooked and really big portions. We left happy, full and with a giant bag of left overs. We will be back and so should you. 5 out of 5 for food and service.

Ordered carry out. crushed lentil bowl, chicken kafta, two sides: small hummus, small baba ghanouj, large fattoush salad with no pita. $38.13 Food takes about 15 minutes to be ready. Drove all the way back to the office. My chicken kafta looks to be lamb, not at all what I ordered. My large fattoush is covered in pita chips. Had to spend several minutes getting every pita chip out of the salad. It's good I am not allergic to gluten. They shove the dressing packet in the corner of the salad, so you get a bit less, that and the pita chips. Other than that, the salad was fine. I am quite disappointed the order is not right! The crushed lentil soup has a lot of rice in it, which is just filler to me. Has some clumps of something, may be rice and starch? It's too inconvenient to drive all the way back. Do be sure to check your carry out order before you leave the place. The crushed lentil is quite bland, not much flavor to it. Tastes some fennel, quite a few clumps of starch. The soup is more rice than lentil. I could count on one hand how many traces of lentil was in my bowl of soup. What in the world? My husband ate the lamb kafta, since I don't eat red meat. He said it was so-so, but rather dry.

You come and it's in the parking lot of a shopping center so was free parking so that's good. It's pretty large so even if you don't think it is, when you come in as much more spacious than it seems. The place is pretty clean and they're no issues with that but at the same time when I went there was nobody there and everybody was coming for pickup. So I guess that was probably why it was still clean because nobody had made it here LOL. I talked to the guy at the counter. He was super cool and gave me plenty of time to look over The menu. Even gave me some suggestions. Hummus - so the hummus was really good. They give you a heck of a lot of it. They put it in one of those small fry containers so it's basically spilling out but it's plenty and it's super tasty . Fries - the fries came with a little dark on them so I know they were fried crispy. They weren't seasoned like that but you had so many things to choose from, whether it be the hummus or the garlic sauce or whatever to dip them in. They got plenty of flavor on deck . Grape leaf wraps - so you get a couple of these when you get the combo platter. They're tender and moist and filled with rice and really good when they're super hot. I think I might have eaten these in the car LOL . Chicken shawarma - the chicken shawarma was really good. They give you plenty of it and they give you the pita to wrap it in. They have a sauce that goes with it but you don't even need the sauce because the chicken is already tender and flavorful . Meat shawarma - the meat shawarma was pretty good. I think that the chicken was better but the meat one was really good. It was super tender and very juicy . Grilled veggies - the grilled veggies were basically hunks of vegetable LOL. You got probably almost a whole onion grilled and you got a whole bell pepper grilled and then you got a bunch of carrots grilled. Everything was large. It wasn't like you got chopped vegetables or something like that ... But everything was still good. Salad - I had all the food that I listed and I didn't even really want the salad. It came with its own vinaigrette dressing, which was still really good but at the same time it was almost too much. The salad was very fresh and had the typical toppings that you would expect from a Mediterranean spot . Overall this spot was the best choice I made all day I think. You can get all this stuff for under $40. What better deal is that? I'll definitely come back when I'm in the area for sure !

The soup was a pleasant surprise: a chicken‑forward broth with a thicker texture. The mixed shawarma (lamb and chicken), was enormous! Easily enough for two meals. The meat was tender, well‑seasoned, and came out fast. Between the value, the portions, and the hospitality, this feels like a hidden gem.
