I will keep it simple. We went this afternoon, a group of 8. We ordered food across the board. The food was not of that great quality, especially the chicken shawarma. Bur every dish was pricey as hell. These are California rates and not Michigan prices. The second thing - the waiter was super rude. He messed up the order but was still rude. The ambience is of a third class place - does not justify the price one bit. Overall, please visit this place ONLY if you DO NOT value your money. Please go to another Mediterranean place. You will be much better off. read more

Excellent food and service. Came with the family and everyone's food was delicious. Generous serving sizes. Hummus and pita are exceptionally delicious. Shawarma was excellent. Sandwiches were also delicious. Will be back! read more

Found this gem visiting Troy, MI for a little weekend getaway. Great food. Hummus was amazing, smooth, garlicky goodness. The chicken shawarma was also very tasty. Again, lots of garlic. Highly recommend. Super fast and friendly service read more

Shish Island - Chicken shawarma sandwich with garlic sauce and pickle. - Mediterranean Near Me - Troy, Michigan

See all

Shwarma and kabob sandwiches were fantastic but the best was their "salsa" and bread. and service was great too!!

I was assigned to pick a restaurant for an incoming group. After researching many mediterranean restaurants, this one kept coming on top. We made reservations for eight people. We were promptly seated. We had one person who took care of so well that we never lacked anything. Our waiter was a solid 10!! The food is plentiful, fresh, and delicious. You are served warm bread and garlic sauce complimentary. The prices are so reasonable for what you get. 10/10 read more

This. Place. Is. Amazing. Portions are generous, everything is fresh and extremely authentic, prices are beyond fair. I am Armenian and critical when I get Mediterranean/Middle Eastern food. This place knocked my socks off to the point where I called them on the phone to tell them the first time I got carryout. We regularly get the deboned chicken dinner (white meat) with pilaf and either fatoosh or Tabbouli on the side. They give tons of fresh baked bread too and garlic sauce. For the price what you get is an insane deal. We will often get this meal if we have a friend over as everyone can have a lot of food for cheap. I won't go anywhere else now. Their lunch deals are really cheap too. My mom who has been cooking a pilaf recipe passed down in our family for years said theirs tasted identical to hers. The chicken is charred to perfection. The Tabbouli is moist and flavorful (I do not like Tabbouli that is too dry). Choose this place as your go to. You won't regret it. read more

Food is good and the price is very reasonable. I will highly recommend this place. The meats are so fresh and juicy! read more

Shish Island - Kafta with rice & Shish Tawook with rice - Mediterranean Near Me - Troy, Michigan

See all

Food is so delicious and all of the staff is very friendly! Every time we go in to eat or get takeout it's always a great experience!

Wanted to try this place looking for Mediterranean food. Both wife and I got the 1/2 deboned chicken it was excellent and over abundance of it. Just be aware most orders are ala cart...you order the chicken you get one side like rice, the grilled vegetables, soup or salad or hummus are all extra! Speaking of grilled vegetables disappointing it was slices of onion, quarter chunks of green peppers and large pieces of hard carrots...this could be improved, chicken was wonderful! We got soup too wife's chicken lemon rice was good and I got the crushed lentils which was good but needed more flavor. All in all we did enjoy our meal with a few tweaks it could have been fantastic! read more

We've ordered take out twice so far and look forward to going in-person soon too. Excellent shawarma and rice, and fresh bread and toum are a beautiful match. Staff is really helpful and kind! read more

Tasty, fast, friendly, convenient, decent value. Well worth a try. I'll be returning here

I am never one to review places, but this place is absolutely AMAZING! My husband and I ordered takeout and we couldn't believe the amount of food we received. The bread is honestly one of the best I've ever had and they give you enough to feed two families. I ordered the Shish Kafta with their rice and lemon chicken soup. It was AMAZING! My husband ordered a combo with chicken, steak and beef Kafta. Also, sooo delicious! We also ordered hummus and WOW it was delicious! We had enough food between the both of us that we had it for leftovers the next day. We have tried multiple Mediterranean places in metro Detroit and this place is the best! We will definitely be coming back to Shish Island whenever we want Mediterranean cuisine! read more

The food was AMAZING!!! I rarely eat out b/c I love my own food! But this place is hands down 10 stars. A MUST try! 1st trip was carry out b/c son wanted shawarma wrap for his bday. This visit was dine in & it did not disappoint. Super friendly staff, over the top garlic sauce, salsa & warm bread complimentary after sitting. Outstanding on both!!! Top notch on taste! All homemade. Son ordered shawarma again amazing again @ $5.99 a steal. I had a Fattoush salad w dressing on side (personal preference) w chicken- WOW!!! Chicken super moist, flavor top notch & fresh greens. All so good that I ordered food to go to take home. Bought 16oz garlic sauce & shawarma sandwich to enjoy next day & days to follow! Garlic sauce is as golden as my homemade, so they have saved me time from making! All homemade in-house by this place. New to the area 1 yr ago, less than 3 miles in Troy, and will just order their food for my fridge * returnfor dine in. I will also now buy their salad dressing b/c it was that GOOD! Made in house & so so good! read more
