Stopped in Kabob Royale for a carry out of an order of onion rings and a chicken shawarma…read more The onion rings were fried hard and very crunchy, but I didn't mind it, they were tasty. The chicken shawarma was probably the savoriest I've had. It was deep in flavor with onions and warm spices. Different from any that I've had in the past. I enjoyed its unique taste. This was my first visit. It's a carry out restaurant that stayed busy the entire time I was there. I grabbed a menu, and it's full of favorites such as beef or chicken kafta, falafel, beef and chicken tikka, catfish, grape leaves, fattoush, chicken Greek salad and lots of other items. You can order party trays as well. Price point is amazingly low. It's definitely a goodie and worthy of a return visit or four.

During my recent trip to Michigan, I discovered that the Detroit Metro area has the largest…read moreconcentration of Arabic speakers with 4.7% of population aged 5 to adult primarily speaking Arabic at home (https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/05/18/5-facts-about-arabic-speakers-in-the-us/#:~:text=The%20Detroit%20metro%20area%20also,1.0%25%20of%20the%20total%20population.). As such, there was a plethora of excellent restaurants to select from offering Middle Eastern cuisine, one of the best of which was Asya. As is my penchant, when visiting a new city I pop open my trusty Yelp app for places to try and Asya was one of the first recommendations; it doesn't hurt that some of the locals also said they serve up tasty food. Located in a strip mall off the intersection of a busy road, the parking lot is tight, so if there are no spots directly in front of the restaurants, there is more availability off to the side. I stopped by a few times while I was in town, and Asya does a brisk take-out business, especially during the predictable lunch and dinner hours. I dined in both times, so I could enjoy my meal hot and "fresh from the kitchen." The interior is fairly nondescript with tile flooring, black tables/chair combos, and a neutral color palate. But because the dining room is "cozy," it can definitely get loud with just a few tables of hungry diners. The service and hospitality are superior, as to be expected from a family run establishment. I was always greeted with a warm smile and even after just a few visits, the staff seemed to recognize me. I really like the fact that for most of their entrees, you can order either a lunch or dinner portion. The shish kafta was an AMAZING deal at $12.99 at lunch. In addition to the main dish, it is served with either a salad or soup. I opted for the lentil soup, and it was tasty. Soft lentils were stewed in a creamy base and served with a bowl of individually wrapped pita slices. Honestly, I was already getting a bit full after just the soup course. Then the generous portion of the shish kafta arrived and I could only finish 1/2 of the plate, before taking the remaining portion home for dinner. The skewered meat patties were nicely seasoned with grated yellow onion, garlic, parsley, finely chopped mint, salt/black pepper, Sumac, cinnamon, as well as other spices. They were grilled just enough to have a nice char on the exterior, yet still remain moist. Instead of French Fries, I opted to have the yellow rice which was perfect for making mini-sandwiches with the leftover pita slices from my soup. To finish the meal, I had a few pieces of the house made baklava, which was flaky and not too sweet; perfect with my afternoon coffee. On another occasion, I also got the chicken shawarma, which again, was a bargain at $6.50 (before tax) and super filling with a side of fries. There are also many good Middle Eastern restaurants in the DC area, but not the variety of "mom and pop" places like Asya and definitely not at their price point and value.

Multiple locations throughout the Metropolitan Detroit area to step up to health and flavor!…read moreThis is the La Marsa - Troy location. They are located in the Troywood Plaza. The restaurant dining area gives you plenty of options. They have window hightop tables at the front of the dining room. They have booths and tables in the other areas of the dining room including a round booth perfect for a romantic dinner for two. The rear of the dining room has long tables for larger parties. The service was excellent from start to finish. We started with their delicious warm bread, garlic paste and hummus. Tip: do not each too much because you need room for your entrée. I had the classic lemon oregano half deboned chicken with rice and French fries. I was so full and I had plenty of leftovers for the next day for lunch. Bonus!

You order chicken, with your up to 4 items (like cabbage, spinach, onions, feta) and that's it. No rice or pita or anything. It seems weird that it costs extra than a wrap, when it has less food. That being said, the flavors were amazing. The beets were canned, the chickpeas were canned, but the chicken shawarma was good and the garlic sauce was yummy. I just wish it were more clear when ordering online. I got a promo, buy one get one (sort of) free. You still have to pay the extra $4. The portions are small and without the base, I would have been extremely disappointed paying full price. All in all, order in person so you can see what you're getting.
