    I ordered online and overall it was very easy. I will say they gave us a lot of sauce but they weren't labeled so it was difficult to tell which sauce was which as I ordered more than 1 item. I got a bowl with half rice and lettuce and the portion was large and generous. Since it was delivery it was a little pricier but that is expected. My only main complaint is that there were very large chunks of lettuce that were not chopped up in the bowl. Like they were at least like a 2x2 cube of lettuce that was exactly chewable.

    1/3/26 we decided on this place for lunch having never been here. OMG what a nice surprise. We were greeted and promptly waited on within seconds of walking in. Everything looked so yummy it was hard to decide so I just picked the crunchy chicken bowl as pictured on the front window, yes I'm a visual guy. My husband chose the salad type bowl, not sure of the name. The way it works is they grab an empty bowl and you choose what you want in it. Word of caution , 2 people can share a bowl it's that big. The restaurant was spotless, the staff was friendly and our lunch was out of this world , seriously it was that good. They only have 3 restaurants in the area and may expand later. Please stop in here for your next lunch date. BTW, they cater too.

    A good new spot in west bloomfield. We came here after a walk on the WB Trail. I wasn't all that hungry so I ended up just getting a side of the steak, which I believe they said is a tenderloin cut. It was moist and flavorful. The actual bowls are gigantic. My friends each got one and had leftovers. They really liked what they got. Overall, it's a fast casual situation, with a clean and bright atmosphere. You build your bowl or wrap and pick what you want in it. And the service was quick and friendly and I would come back. I only wish they had different size bowl options so I could've gotten a small bowl.

    This is as fresh & healthy as it gets in fast food and I'm so happy to have this place close to home Choose your base: salad, rice or wrap Choose your protein: I'm a veg so I went with falafel And then toppings galore I'm a little picky about my falafel so I didn't have high hopes but it's better than average here- and they have beets, turshi & chickpeas on their toppings bar so I'm all set I didn't choose any of the sauces or hummus, just the garlic sauce, which was surprisingly mild (if my family makes garlic sauce, it'll be with you for days ) Everything's so fresh, it doesn't need a lot of sauces weighing it down but you be you

    Clean modern and nice

    Stopped in during lunch and it was the best decision, food was excellent and service was exceptional. The staff were continuously cleaning and the place is spotless. I've never seen a cleaner food establishment in the area. I'll be sure to come back again!

    Yea so the West Bloomfield location is clean and neat with attentive service. Reminded me of a Subway shop but more modern decor. Located in the CrossWinds mall on the northeast corner of Orchard Lk Road and Lone Pine. Ok so the main issue here are the prices which ain't cheap BUT the portions are not. I ordered the chicken bowl and a bowl of chicken tortilla cheese soup which together cost $15 and $8, respectively. Tax and 15% tip brought total to $27.83. Here is the BUT. My entire order could easily feed 2 people and possibly three light eaters. Not a bad deal when you look at it that way. Now to the most important part, the food. The soup was thoroughly cheesy with small bits of chicken breast and jalapeño. Very tasty with just the right amount of spicy and salty. My chicken bowl had about 15 items in it and was HUGE. It easily gave me three servings. All items were fresh and very tasty. The bowl's ingredients were a bit cold so I found heating them up to improve the taste. The chicken in the bowl was plentiful and extremely well spiced and tender. Overall I would go back again but with a bigger appetite ...and if you go with someone I recommend sharing one bowl and see how that goes. Happy eating!

    MBFS is an awesome fast Mediterranean spot to satisfy that kind of craving ... which I have a lot! I've eaten all 4 proteins and the steak is my favorite, which they boast as filet and it shows. I usually build a lighter bowl of 1/2 rice 1/2 salad because the servings are heavy handed. I also opt for fattoush dressing because it's a lighter option but when I want to indulge I get a side of spicy fat sauce!!! My daughter loves the crispy chicken, I usually make her a simple bowl of that, rice and cucumbers. Can't forget the cookies !!! Dubai choc chunk is our favorite but all 3 are good. The place is clean and neat, a huge factor in where we decide to

    I absolutely love this place. Staff is always friendly, portions are amazing, everything is so fresh and flavorful, out of this world good! Reasonably priced and you get a lot! LOVE the bowls. The chicken tortilla soup, is the best too. I tell everyone I know to go here. 5 stars!

    Love this place! Definitely a great value for your money! The bowls are HUGE! The combinations are endless and the food is fresh and delicious. I've only carried out but there is a small dining area inside. Everything is prepared pretty quickly and my go-to is the build your own bowl. The service is great here too! Definitely recommend.

As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by a man that I presume was the manager or owner, who was wiping down the tops of the counters. We immediately started chatting while I looked over the menu. I originally came to pick up a bag for the Too Good To Go app, but decided to snag a salad and drink also. The same manager or owner was very chatty, I saw him cracking jokes either employees, and helping the cooks along with making my meal. I ordered the buffalo chicken salad and holy.moly. FRESH romaine lettuce, sliced tomato, cukes, and some great chicken, was enough for me to make two smaller salad (see pic)s. Everything was tasty, including the ranch, and the buffalo was the perfect blend of heat but not so hot it's unpleasant/numbs your face (If anyone knows what buffalo sauce they use - let a lady know!! ) Then, as I walked out, a man who I chatted with a moment, was cleaning and stopped just to wish me a great day. I was literally just laid off yesterday, so he'll probably never know how much it meant to hear today. 10/10 recommend Jersey's and I will be back! Ps - When I first got home I took a couple of bites of the cheese and jalapeño and chef's kiss - the bagel was absolute perfection. Highly recommend.

    Unfortunately I was not a fan of this place. I hate giving bad reviews, but I have to be honest…read more I was driving home one night and looking for something open and seen this place on YELP so I said I need to finally try them out. They are located inside of a plaza and there is a lot of parking. The restaurant seems small, but the other side has seating I believe. I ordered their chicken shawarma bowl and it was 16$ which I felt was super expensive. But I wanted a bowl so I ordered it. None of my food was hot. My rice was lukewarm, the chicken was cold and the cauliflower was not good and cold. I wanted the veggies (zucchini, onion, carrot mix), but the guy who made my food said there was no more, but it looked like they were cooking it. He didn't ask if I wanted to wait so I felt rushed. The only thing I liked about all this was the potatoes. They were so good. I asked for beets and I got pickled turnips. They did put 2 beets but they were super hard. The chicken did not have much seasoning to it. And I didn't get a lot of it. It was so finely chopped that I didn't notice it. I did not finish my meal at all. I want to give them another try because the guy (maybe owner) was so nice. Like so pleasant and sincere. But the worker who made my food was kind of standoffish. The girl at the counter was nice also. Maybe I will come before 8pm and try their food.

Where I ended up at was one of the best Middle Eastern fast casual places ever. You can order from the entree menu or build a custom bowl to your liking. I ended up getting the mixed grill because I couldn't choose just one thing and washed it down with beet juice. For almost $40 I go hummus, pita bread, fattoush salad, and a ton of rice, meat and chicken. The salad dressing was the best I ever had for fattoush, the chicken/meat items were all perfectly tender and well seasoned. This was enough to feed 2-3 people easily, and there was not one thing from here I did not absolutely love. This will not be the last time I come here. Make sure to understand that the food is made to order, so if you're coming for a quick lunch be a little patient.

When we walked in, the guy behind the counter looked like he didn't want to be there. He had his earbuds in and was watching something on his phone. He also never greeted us and we had to find a menu on our phones, only after we were ordering did he look up and offer us a menu. When looking at the grill behind him, it was coated in tin foil, which looks nasty. If you don't want to clean the grill, then don't be open. We ordered and went to look for a table, and with no one in there, you would think it would be easy to find something, but no, there was dirty trays with half-eaten food on several tables. When we did find a table, it was sticky and I had to wipe it down just to sit there. Once we were sat, we looked at the silverware, and it was all dirty looking and unwrapped in a wooden-looking tray on the table. Also nasty. Our food came out, and it was underwhelming.

So the service was okay, but the cashier seemed annoyed with our questions and it was really loud in there so it was hard to hear his responses. I would definitely go back to try the other dishes as take out. The sides were okay, but a bit dry in my opinion. The main thing this restaurant does well is the meat.
