This is the best Mediterranean food I've had in my life. This shish combo for one was the PERFECT solution to wanting to try a few of the different meals they offered. The kebab was extraordinary, so moist and tender. The kefta was delicious, firm yet not dried out like other kefta. The tawook was flavorful and juicy. The prices initially were a tiny bit higher than I had expected, but it is SO WORTH IT. Absolutely worth it. The amount of food you get is easily at least two meals worth. Service was great; the host (assuming owner) was so friendly and welcoming. The waitstaff was attentive and very polite. The restaurant was clean, comfortable, and had nice decor. We come out to the movie theater from Lansing often and we will literally eat here every time we come now. read more

When you walk into this Shescho, you're greeted by the most lively man you've ever met. I genuinely believe he's happier to see his customers more than some moms when they set eyes on their newborn for the first time. The food portions are hearty and authentic. I come back constantly for the bread and garlic dip. I dream of the pillowy warm bread embracing me on a difficult day. The hummus is so creamy and the fresh veggies really make me feel at home. This place is full of wonderful servers, chefs and people who truly care about the food/community they serve! read more

Fantastic food - the kabobs are beyond delicious, and the warm bread with garlic spread is to die for. Their hummus is also super tasty. Portions are LARGE for a slender woman. Plenty of leftovers to bring home Service is excellent and it's a cute restaurant. Highly recommend. read more

Portion sizes here are insane! My husband and I ordered the veg combo for two and were shocked with how much food it came with! We didn't realize it also came with naan bread, baba ghanoush, and a Greek salad in addition to the main platter! We could have easily have shared this along 4 people. Everything was so delicious and online ordering &pickup was simple! read more

This was a last-minute decision, actually a recommendation to enjoy this restaurant and it wasn't disappointing. I have not tried many Mediterranean grills one from the starter of the with the garlic sauce to my plate kebab it was very tasteful. Very delicious.! The atmosphere was relaxing pretty quiet but very busy. Our waiter was very attentive to our needs good service. The price of a meal was a little pricey, but it was worth it. The service was fast in the meal was warm and delicious. read more

Greeting with a hearty smile. We ordered the sampler for two after the waiter told us it would be more than plenty. It was! It was a great way to sample their fare for the 1st time to then decide what you wanted the next time. Wait time for the food was as good as could be expected, time to cook and prepare. Great experience read more

This review is strictly for the food only because I have only ever ordered delivery via uber eats! If I want Mediterranean food, this is absolutely always where I get it from! I've tried a handful of places around town, and Sheshco has been the most consistent and fresh for me! My go to order is a chicken shawarma sandwich, a side of fries, and a small fattoush salad. Literally so yummy! The portions are good and I think the prices are fair as well. read more

Passionate workers, delicious food, great art and music on in the back. I like how chill it is. Fantastic restaurant. I want to come back regularly. I had the beef shawarma and loved it. Very succulent beef, good quality. read more

Sheshco has been a family favorite for meetups over the last few years. The atmosphere is warm and the food has been consistently delicious. Upon arriving, they greet you with a basket of warm fluffy pitas, and a zippy plate of toum (garlic dip). (This may be the best part of the meal honestly...drool...) I try to mix up my order to experience different things, but it's always a tough decision. This last visit I got the sampler plate which comes with hummus, baba ghannouj, tabbouli, beef and chicken shawarmas, falafel, meat and spinach pies, meat and vegetarian grape leaves, and then a choice of sides--I opted for rice (which comes with slivered almonds) and a side salad with romaine, cucumber and tomatoes. The portion was massive, and all of the flavors were spot on. The pies are a softer dough, and the falafels are on the more dense heavily spiced side, so keep that in mind depending on your preferences. My dad recently tried the David Basha (ground beef balls with tomato and mushrooms), and he remarked on how well spiced the mushrooms were and offered me some tasty morsels to enjoy. Sheshco previously has also been defined by their attentive service as well. I gather we've interacted with Robert quite a bit (based upon other reviewer's identifications), who does a wonderful job of making you feel like family. My last visit the service was a little more sporadic, but the staff was dealing with a very large (seemingly inconsiderate) table, which I think impacted things unfortunately, so I'm not counting it as a negative. Finally, I'll just note that the portions in general are very generous. A plate for one can actually easily feed two people, even with a good appetite, so keep that in mind when looking at the prices. It's good to share if you have a similarly oriented companion, but I do wish sometimes they offered a smaller plate at a lesser price point. But as my family says, I wouldn't mind if there were leftovers.... read more

Delicious! Warmly greeted by the owner. Overall a great dinning experience. The portions are huge. We ordered the sampler for two and I believe it could have feed four. Very flavorful dishes . I especially loved the Baba Ganoush and all dishes were well prepared and delicious, including the tahini and falafel. read more

The best restaurant I have tried in the Grand Rapids area!!! Starting with the staff - the service was incredible. All staff members were kind and welcoming (especially Robert). The food was AMAZING! They start by giving you warm, homemade pita with their garlic dip and it is to die for!! The food is so authentic and absolutely delicious. Overall, the restaurant has a cozy vibe that makes you feel like you are having dinner with family. I could not recommend this place more! read more

Wow! From the minute we entered we were welcomed by the happiest host, Robert. We were seated within one minute. We immediately received complimentary toum and pita which was delicious. We ended up taking some home. We ordered grape leaves and falafel which were good. Then our main course came and the portions were huge! I had the shish combo for one. The beef kabobs was amazing, as was the chicken tawook, the lamb kafta was good too. The veggies the came with the meal were charbroiled and done perfectly. The meal also came with a fresh salad with a wonderful house dressing. Our food came out quickly and our server sadeq was wonderful , fast and pleasant. We left with a ton of food. Highly recommended read more

The service is wonderful; they are friendly and attentive without hovering. The food is incredibly delicious! And the portions are huge! I highly recommend it. read more

Sheshco is a wonderful Mediterranean restaurant that is homey and comfortable. I love dining in there because Robert the main host and greeter is the friendliest person I've ever interacted with. He's always so cheery and kind and it sets the tone for your experience. In my last review I noted that our server wasn't the friendliest, but I will say that's definitely not typical of my visits. We recently stopped in after I got home from a work trip needing some veggies. I love that you can get grilled vegetables as your side (or rice or fries). I got the shish kabob plate with grilled veggies, and Nate got a shawarma. Each meal at Sheshco starts with their complimentary bread and toum, or garlic sauce. It's like Lebanese garlic butter and it's so delicious. The bread is always fluffy, soft, and super hot as you can watch them making it in the oven. The shish kabob plate comes with a soup or salad. I always get the lentil soup, as it's a favorite of mine. It's simple but so delicious, especially with a squeeze of lemon. I like that they ask how you want your meat cooked since I prefer medium rare/rare. Our food came out quickly and the portions are generous. I loved the steak - it was so tender and seasoned well. The veggies were a healthy choice although I wish the onion was grilled a bit more. This is my favorite Mediterranean restaurant and I always look forward to eating there! read more

We are not local to Grand Rapids but are glad we found this place. Locally owned, seems like a family business. Authentic cuisine that is exceptional. The garlic paste served with bread is out of this world. We enjoyed the hummus, chicken tawook, and the sampler platter for one. We saw the lamb chops and they looked heavenly. Busy for dine in and takeout, this is clearly a local favorite. read more

Great service & food. Love the garlic spread & bread! It is a must try. Just good traditional Mediterranean food.

We LOVE Sheshco! Great friendly service and the food's delicious! We love saying hi to the front desk host. He's always so cheerful.

The business is located in a strip business plaza near the cinema so there is a ton of parking. Signs on the door to show you where to enter from the street was helpful. I was politely greeted and sat in a booth. I ordered a falafel salad, hummus, chicken, rice and vegetables. Mohammed waited on me and he was very polite and attentive. The facility was clean, smelled good and well decorated. I enjoyed the warm atmosphere and quite while I ate meal. The service was fast, friendly and price was completely within reason for items purchased. I was given a togo box and a bag when it was time. I did use the restroom and it was clean, well stocked and the floors clean. Overall pleasant experience for my first time there. Definitely will go back. Food was amazing read more

I heard that they were the best Mediterranean restaurant in the area. I ordered the big mixed platter for 70$. Everything was excellent. The quality was sufficient for a large family. I highly recommend this one! read more

Toum + Hummus + Baba ghanoush = amazing! Truly all I needed... the bread that comes with was warm & fresh. We also had the spicy potato, which was very tasty, not overly spicy. We had the kefta, chicken shawarma, tenderloin kebab, beef shawarma, and tawook. Everything was well seasoned, cooked perfectly, so tender, and so delicious! Would highly recommend! read more

We went to Sheshco Mediterranean Grill for dinner last night. First impressions were not great. Firstly, there were MANY dirty, not yet bussed tables. We stepped up to the reception desk to be seated. There were two men at the desk, arguing. Not sure what it was about, because it was not in English, but they didn't even acknowledge that we were there to be seated. They both walked away briefly, leaving the desk empty, only to come back, still arguing. After one left, the other finally acknowledged us, and sat us in a booth that was just cleaned. A young server came to bring us our drinks and take our order. We ordered the Sampler Plate for Two at $40.00. Shortly, the server came with two small bowls, with different sauces in them. One was hummus, the other we never figured out, and both had what looked to be a small slice of maybe pickled beet, but we never figured that out either. After about 10 minutes, the waiter came back and apologized, saying that they completely ran out of bread. He said they had enough for the morning, but have none left for the sauces he just served us. Then he went back toward the kitchen. We were a little miffed about that, and called him back to see if there is something else we could get instead. He said that we could maybe get some flat bread, but he'd have to ask his manager. Finally he brought out the cold flat bread. Would have been much better warmed up. Anyway, the Sampler Plate came. It looked great. Big servings. It also came with a couple of liquidy sauces in small plastic cups with lids. Never figured out what those were. Our server apparently disappeared into a black hole, so we had to ask someone else for a couple plates! We also had to pay a different server, because ours never did return. The food was delicious. The service and ambience of the place leaves a LOT to be desired. The decor was mediocre at best and the service was severely lacking. You would expect MUCH better service for the prices. Most likely we will not return. read more

Ordered take out through Uber eats so cannot comment on service or overall restaurant. The food was delicious. I don't usually order gallaba but wanted something with a lot of veggies and this didn't disappoint. The flavor was great and everything was perfectly cooked. There were 4 massive slices of squash and multiple sliced veggies as well. I ordered a cup of crushed lentil soup and that was good- I always add salt and pepper when I order this but I like excessive seasoning. The hummus is a classic. Creamy and flavorful. We got a small side of garlic whip. Personally i think it needs more of a garlic flavor (I also add 10x amount of garlic to a recipe than what they call for. I am middle eastern so this is a staple in my diet). My husband says it is the best garlic whip he has had. My husband ordered 2 wraps and devoured them- chicken shawarma and falafel. read more

The food here is good. However, I write this post geared towards people who are allergic to peanuts. Be careful - they marinate most of their meat in peanut butter. I found out the hard way a couple of days ago. I'm allergic to peanuts, so I was really surprised when I felt my throat getting really itchy as I was eating their Shish Kebob. I ate the first piece of meat and marveled at the tenderness. It was so nice and juicy! Their vegetables were also delicious. However, after a couple of minutes, I started to get an allergic reaction. I called the waitress over, and she explained to me that they marinate all of their meats (except for chicken) in peanut butter. They also use the same grill for all their meats, so for those who have deathly reactions, I wouldn't eat their other food just in case. She was very nice about it. That being said, they really SHOULD write that they marinate their foods in peanut butter somewhere in the menu. Put an asterisk next to the meats if you will, but just... write it down. The lentil soup I had from them was really good, and the bread and garlic spread was delicious. I know it's strange that I'm giving them a 4 star, but their food still is really good. My friends loved their food, and based off of that one piece of meat, I thought it was good. They didn't charge me for my plate, only for the lentil soup. But if I hadn't been so perturbed by my allergic reaction, I would have asked for the lentil soup to be complimentary. So, just a heads up to those who are allergic to peanuts - maybe... stay clear from this place. I'm surprised they don't mention it in their menus, since peanut allergies are not uncommon, Good and pleasant service though... the host was over the moon and so friendly with all the customers. read more

i was too hungry to take pictures but oh man this place is a gem. i visit gr occasionally and im often stumped on what to eat around the area but this was a solid choice i got it as take out and the portions were huge! i got the beef shish kabob entree with rice which came with hummus and we also got lentil soup or the day my husband got a veggie plate entree with salad. dressing was really simple and tasty. vinegary with maybe some sumac. the veggies were so good - onion and zucchini was charred/grilled and so tasty the beef was cooked to perfection - we asked for medium and it was the right shade of pink. pita bread was awesome the next day with left overs - i highly recommend freezing all the pita bread - as you are sure to have leftovers - and pop them in the oven as it preheats and it will be almost as good as new i would love to dine in in the future as the ambiance of this place is so cute with the little lanterns, the murals, and cute old school stylized booths and chairs. the servers were always accommodating - we got take out from this place twice in a few days in between bc i loved it that much! i will be sure to be back next time we are in town - sorry i didn't take any pics - was just devouring the food each time haha read more

If I could give this restaurant more stars I would. The food is amazing! So much flavor and very affordable. I've been in a few times to pick up the garlic dip and bread and every time I've walked through the door Robbert has greeted me with the most heartwarming smile and energy. He treats every customer like a long lost friend and makes you feel welcome. I cannot recommend this place enough!! (Robbert is the gentleman with the red tie!) read more

My oh my, if this isn't the best mediterranean spot in town. I really can't speak highly enough of Sheshco. Upon entering the cozy and quaint space, you are immediately greeted by Robert, who is a delightful cocktail of charming, hospitable and eager. He really missed his calling as a game show host, because the guy has quips and compliments for days. The pita bread and toum (garlic dip) is absolutely intoxicating. And it's UNLIMITED. This has to be the highlight of my trips to Sheshco, as by the time my actual meal arrives, I'm half stuffed from chowing down on bread and garlic (a match made in heaven). The food is all very fresh and delicious. I typically opt for a sandwich (wrap), as they're decently sized and fairly priced. The usual plates are enormous, and combined with the bread and toum, there is no way a single person could eat all of the food that comes with it. And last but not least, it's FAST. Like, you sit down and the bread hits your table within a few minutes, with your order arriving shortly afterwards. I could be in and out in 30 minutes if I really needed to, which is a must for a quick work lunch. Fanastic value. Stellar service and speed. Fresh, tasty dishes. Unless you dislike mediterranean food (how dare you), Sheshco is sure to impress. read more

Incredible food, incredible service. Our first visit we ordered server's recommendation of two sampler platters, one was chicken...ok I'm new to Lebanese food so forgive me...but the aromatic herbs and slow braised meats just mouth watering! An eggplant appetizer, wow, and the warm sweet bread...1000% we'll be back. Large portions so don't let a $23 entree scare you. read more

Amazing food , attention to detail , fresh pita and fresh sauce made everyday. It is so good. You will want more. The people represent the true culture and the ambiance is comforting. Through the years you meet the family and the children and having them grow is something that you will love. They take true care in every aspect of your dining experience. Highly recommend. read more

(Please excuse the lack of pictures) Need a place with many healthy options from, vegetarian, high protein diet, to classy dishes, or to even a yummy shawarma wrap? Come on over to Shescho! The inside is amazing, you feel like you're in another world. They do take out and have Uber eats as well. However, highly recommend coming in, the decor and services is amazing, and best of all...having the food served their fresh is the best. Or even when passing by for a take out order is amazing. There is so many dishes here and you never get board! Their rice is not gluten free by the way. They have amazing fresh stone baked pita bread with their homemade garlic sauce. It's so good! They're also halal! So come on over with family, loved ones, or even have a self date! It's an amazing place to be. read more

Reason number 1 to go here: the bread is AMAZING! We've gotten takeout twice from here and have been really impressed with the food both times. It's a nice change of pace from the normal takeout places like pizza, Mexican, Chinese, etc. Both times I arrived, my food was ready and they were quick to greet me and process my pickup. I can't really say much about eating at the restaurant since I got takeout both times, but it looks like a nice place to have a sit down dinner. There looks like there are plenty of servers and the restaurant looks clean and comfortable. read more

Service? 4/5 and food? 5/5.. so I'll round up. Most of my experiences here have been fantastic! But if they're busy, know the service is going to be a bit lacking... However, any time I'm craving Mediterranean food in Grand Rapids, I always go to Sheshco's. The gentleman who greets everyone is always so cheerful and friendly. Typically, the wait is pretty limited but when they're busy, there's not much of a space for you to stand and wait. When it comes to bang for your buck, the chicken shawarmas sandwich is the best! I think it's ~$7 and absolutely delicious! We usually order hummus or something to enjoy with the complementary pita and garlic spread, and there is always way more than you need, getting full off the pita. We decided to order a side of fries as well for our shawarmas but it did not arrive until almost the end of our meal. We almost asked our server to cancel the order because he was not attentive and rarely came back. It looked like he was trying to cover tables across the whole restaurant which leaves some tables unattended. He was friendly but I'd definitely practice patience for good food and a cheap eat. read more

We went for lunch as a small group with some kids as well. This place has seating that can accommodate small groups. They provide basket of fresh bread and garlic sauce. Garlic sauce was really good. Ordered hummus, wings for appetizers. Waiter got one more basket of bread. Chicken wings was accompanied by ranch. Everyone ordered sandwich beef, chicken of their choice. I had beef shawarma sandwich. I liked chicken wings. I would preferred it better if it has options of flavored wings. I tried Arabian coffee for first time as I have already familiar with Yemeni tea. Served in a kettle with handle and having some cup to drink. With the half and half milk I liked it. read more

Excellent execution of classic Mediterranean dishes. When you walk into Sheshco, you leave Grand Rapids. This is how it should be when you're exploring the international world of dinning! Their meats are grilled perfectly ! My favorite, the lamb and chicken. I need to know how they make their chicken so juicy and perfectly cooked ! With your meal you have a choice of grilled veggies, almond rice with salad, or soups ! Theirs apps are also spot on! I've ordered the grape leaves and baba, so delicious! For all of this great food, it's important to be patient. Yes yes, the wait times are long but it's so worth it! read more

The staff were very welcoming and friendly upon arrival which was nice. The food was decent. My only gripes are that the toum wasn't as garlicky as I'm used to and you only get to choose rice or vegetables with your entrée. They wont allow you to split rice and vegetables like other mediterranean places in Grand Rapids do. I probably wouldn't go here as my first mediterranean restaurant option but overall the food was okay and the service was great. read more

The food was ok - that was our only complaint. It felt as though it had little flavor. We ordered falafel (fantastic) chicken shawarma, and an additional steak entre Service was more than we could have expected - everyone was really kind read more

My favorite Mediterranean place in town! We've been here numerous times and the food is always great. They give really generous portions of their bread and garlic sauce.

Their hummus and babaganoush are also excellent! read more
