Back for the lentil soup. True confession: I'm addicted to it. You think you've eaten lentil soup before? Think again. This is culinary art. Prepared with an age old recipe from yaya, the best ingredients, a secret preparation (at least they won't give it to me). You owe it to yourself - it's the best eatery in Birmingham. read more

I called in my order at 6:06 PM. It is now 7:00 PM, and I still have not received my food. I even went inside to pay and ask about my order, but no one acknowledged me or provided an update. The customer service was very disappointing, and the lack of communication made the experience frustrating. Based on this experience, I would not recommend ordering online or calling in orders from this location. read more

Delicious every time I have gone there. I had the Shish tawook sandwich. Hummus pickles. Yummy yummy. Great service and fast. read more

Absolutely delicious. I got their lamb pita sandwich and it was incredible. Try their homemade rice pudding too!

The food was great.. Worth the wait for take out, but definitely order early as they get busy. Additionally, ask for extra spicy sauce. I'm not sure what it is called but it is addicting. I put it every part of my meals. There is a lot on the menu to choose from, so lots of opportunities to change up your order. read more

This little gem has the best Middle Eastern food in metro Detroit. We been patrons for well over 10 years and still love it!

It's restaurants like this that make me thankful for where I live! Always fresh, great flavor and great lunch deals. The chicken shawarma sandwich is my go to, with a side of lentil soup and a salad complete the meal. read more

Shish Kabob Xpress - Chicken Shawarma sandwhich - Middle Eastern Near Me - Birmingham, Michigan

Small place inside. The outside isn't much to look at either. Two doors to enter. Set up to take orders by the north doors. Spicy gallaba with hummus, house salad with chicken shawarma meat and anti-cholesterol raw juice. The total was $32.30. The mat inside this place was super sticky for both of us. Even the patio table is sticky. What's up with all of this stickiness. There is no eating inside, there's only a counter inside anyways. The patio is available to eat, but it rained and is wet still. Luckily we have a golf bag towel. We were told to wait outside and they would bring our food out to us. They are busy with orders. It took our food about 25 minutes to come out to us. So much for the express part of their name. The woman there is super friendly, she even asked how our food was as we wrapped up our meal. The house salad was jam packed with chicken. The chicken was nicely seasoned and so much of it too. The spicy chicken gallaba was also a nice portion for my hubby. There was a lot of hummus as well. The anti-cholesterol juice was good, could definitely taste the ginger in it. read more

The food is consistently great. Chicken shawarma with fries and extra pickles is about the greatest sandwich I've ever had!! They also have the best hummus around read more

I used to frequent this establishment often when my office was nearby. Definitely one of the better Middle Eastern places for takeout you'll find in Oakland County. I recently returned when I was nearby and I'm happy to report that their food is just as good as it was a few years ago. My favorite is their lamb combo ( kofta, kibbee and grape leaves) I also really like their starter combo ( hommous,Baba Ghannouj & tabbouli). If your in the area, pick up something. You'll not be disappointed. read more

Really enjoyed the falafel and beef shawarma sandwich here. Pretty good price and great spot for lunch! High energy place when you go inside to pick up food. Not much seating inside by you can sit on the barstools if needed. Everyone was super friendly and helpful that worked there. read more

Shish Kabob Xpress - Beef Shawarma Sandwich - Middle Eastern Near Me - Birmingham, Michigan

filthy place. ridiculously overpriced for what you get. i paid over $50.00 for two entrees. i will never come back here again

Went back inside to add a soup to go and saw the cook sneeze in his hand with no gloves and kept flipping food, yak! I turned around and didn't add anything. I was halfway through my meal and threw it right in the trash where it belongs. Chicken was extra seasoned, rice was mushy and bland. Nasty nasty nasty!!! read more

We are regulars at this takeout spot. Shish Tawook sand-whiches for the win. Friendly spot. Good portions and healthy food.

I've passed by this place hundreds of times, it never really appealed to me until a recent stop to the medical place in the same plaza. I read the reviews and was very curious...seeing many reviews state they are Lebanese, I was ready to give it a try! I order the chicken shawarma sandwich and fries...I don't add or remove anything, I'm just ready to try it as is ....it's about $15 for both...and it took about 5-7 minutes to get my food. I take the first bite and WOW! This really does taste better than many Dearborn places! Wow...they legit do it the right way with garlic and pickles only! The bread is pressed and a bit crunchy, the chicken is moist and tasty-the garlic is perfect and the pickles are crunchy and not overpowering. The fries are crunchy and perfectly fried...heart emoji! I'm a fan & I'll be back to try the meat shawarma next time! read more

Always delicious, fast, and well priced! Our favorite go to family dinner. Love their hummus, chicken and lamb shawarma wrap and most of all the deboned chicken dinner! read more

delish and fresh! Good quick dinner after hockey tonight. Chix is tender and not over cooked in schwarma sandwich.

Wonderful, fresh, flavorful, delicious. Carry out order for 20 and everything was carefully put together and the quality was top notch.

Food is always good. I've ordered a couple minutes before closing a few times and they said no problem! Hummus great flavor

I am a fan of this place, and a frequent diner here. I find their version of chicken shawarma to be very good, but I usually order their chicken shawarma salad sandwich, which is basically your standard chicken shawarma sandwich (chicken, garlic, pickles) with the addition of lettuce, onion, and tomatoes. The lettuce I can take or leave, but I *always* want onion and tomato added to my chicken shawarma sandwich...plus, I ask for extra garlic, and usually get it. It's lovely. Aesthetically, this place will not make anybody happy. It's kind of shabby, but the food they're producing on a regular basis is, in fact, quite high in quality and it honestly is well made and tastes great. It's very fair to say that this place is geared mostly toward takeout, and you had better *believe* that they have a blistering takeout business!!! It can sometimes lead to some rather longish wait times for your food. The inside ain't much to look at, and quite frankly, the outside ain't either. However, that being said, they do have some outdoor patio furniture to sit on and dine at facing Woodward Avenue, and believe it or not: the calming effect of eating your meal al fresco while watching the world whiz on by is quite palpable. I really enjoy eating here on a nice day, especially when it's sunny. Employees are friendly, and I know at least one or two by name, and several more by recognition. They know me. They know my order. They know what I want. It works well, and I should also add that it's pretty affordable. My go-to sandwich order is still around $7, and it's a filling lunch, because they do *not* skimp on the ingredients, especially the chicken, which is very nicely cooked, and I cannot recall it ever being dry on me. This is a proper example of a hole-in-the-wall joint whose food transcends its facade. Nothing fancy, here, except really good Middle Eastern food, served by nice folks. Not a Date Night destination by any means, but an "I'm hungry for very good, not-too-expensive Middle Eastern food." destination for certain. Checks a *heck* of a lot of my boxes, that's for sure. read more

Effffffin Delicious... Had the beef shawarma salad sandwich. Being Middle Eastern myself, I'm not usually impressed by Middle Eastern food. This sandwich knocked my socks off. This is a carry out place, the inside is definitely a dive. Could use a makeover and clean up. But the food is delicious. read more

The best majodra I have ever had. Delicious food and very nice people. Highly recommend for high quality middle eastern cuisine. read more

Consistently the best food in Southeast Michigan. Hospitality is unmatched, and the food could be considered a narcotic for how addictive it is. read more

Excellent food. Don't let the appearance of the place fool you. Highly recommend. Try the shish tawook and lamb shawarma sandwiches. Best anywhere read more

I've probably driven by this little place a thousand times and somehow never noticed it, but definitely won't forget it now. As the most recent stop on my Grand Tour of Falafel, Shish Kabob did not disappoint! Was on the move so just grabbed a falafel sandwich to go, but it made me want to come back and try everything. Falafel was packed with flavor and not dry. The tahini was excellent. I always add garlic sauce, and theirs is plenty strong with a great consistency. All ingredients tasted fresh, right down to the pita. Looking forward to coming back to try more! On the logistic side, the place is small, but there are a few indoor seats if you wanted to eat in. I had no trouble parking, but I could see how the spaces could fill up if Shish Kabob or the neighboring stores were particularly busy. read more

Everything is unbelievable here! They do a great job. Very friendly people too. Good for carry out.

Great food and great value! Wish they were open on Friday night though. Our go to mideastern restaurant read more

Solid spot for Mediterranean. Got a sandwich from there. Really liked the hummus on it. Very lemony, it was nice. Service is fast, I walked in and ordered and it was ready in 5-10mins. I would come back. read more

I've always ordered ahead, food is ready when I get there. Any of the wraps with the fries in them top the list of my my favorite eats ANYWHERE. Great when hot, great cold later when you eventually come back to the 2nd wrap you couldn't finish earlier. read more

5/5 you have to try the shawarma chicken sandwich with fries Hard working staff as well read more

Best Shawarma in the area. The tabouli is amazing. The only drawback is they are closed on Friday and Sunday. Not a showstopper because I love ordering from this restaurant. I can always order Saturday and Monday through Thursday. read more

My first time trying their food and it will not be my last!! Ordered right from this app and it was easy. Location is easy to get to find parking. I ordered the cilantro chicken and it was delicious. Well seasoned, flavorful and great portions. I had the salad with it and all veggies were fresh and the dressing is delicious. I would not change anything about my meal. The service was great. I was greeted as soon as I walked in the restaurant. No pictures because once I got a taste of my food I couldn't stop eating. read more

Got the best chicken shawarma of my life at this place. Going to make it my regular Middle Eastern spot while I'm in Royal Oak.

The most delicious middle eastern food! Everything we've ordered from here has been great quality and amazing in taste! I wish they were open on Sundays because we would do all of our catering from them. Definitely recommend if you're looking for the best middle eastern food. read more

Ordered online and went in to pick up my order when it was supposed to be ready. Cashier said she it was not ready and would bring my order out to my car in 5 minutes. I waited for over 15 minutes and nothing came out. When I went back in the cashier said it would be "coming right out". I waited another 10 minutes before my order was delivered. The food was pretty good though :). read more

Best falafel in Michigan I have had. Everything is so flavorful and fresh. If you like a little kick, have them add the hot sauce to the wrap read more
