Supergeil translates to "Super cool", and this along with all the other super laxatives, is accurate. The menu is Turkish and German fusion, which makes when you know how the doner kabob has become a German fast food staple. I've gone a few times now and had consistently great experiences. From the just the right level of eccentric inside, to the wide patio outside, the environment is comfortable and fun. Their food and cocktail menu changes often. There a few mainstays, including their doner options. Their lamb doner version is the only one I've found in the US I like (I have to remember to ask without peppers, not a traditional ingredient). Their cocktails are fresh, inventive, and interesting. I've tried a variety, and they do a consistently good cocktail. Supergeil is a reliable go to, good quality, reasonable prices, and great service. I'll be back for their patio season. read more

Supergeil is an Eastern European and Mediterranean inspired restaurant nestled in the heart of Corktown. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance transported me to a beautiful Mediterranean garden, with its gorgeous tiled floors, lush greenery, and warm, inviting atmosphere. It felt like a refreshing escape right in the middle of Detroit's historic cobblestone streets. It was the perfect setting for a long-overdue reunion with my sorority sisters, and Supergeil was incredibly accommodating, hosting our group of 14 women in the middle of Grand Prix weekend without missing a beat. We kicked off the evening with a few appetizers to share, including the hummus, deviled eggs, and meatballs. Everything arrived quickly and was an instant hit around the table. The standout was definitely the hummus, served with fresh, homemade pita that was unbelievably soft, fluffy, and packed with flavor. The meatballs were also delicious, perfectly tender, juicy, and well seasoned. For my entrée, I ordered the popular lamb and beef döner, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. The portion was generous and beautifully presented, overflowing with crisp vegetables, fresh lettuce, garlic sauce, hot sauce, and the most tender, savory lamb and beef. Around the table, others enjoyed the Turkish ravioli with spiced beef and pork, more döner, and a variety of salads. Everyone loved their meals, and we couldn't resist passing plates around to sample a little of everything. It's the kind of restaurant that's perfect for sharing and enjoying with a large group. And what would a girls' night be without cocktails? If you're a fan of Two James spirits like I am, you're in for a treat. The bartenders create incredibly inventive cocktails from a seasonally rotating menu. I stepped outside my comfort zone and ordered the Open Kettle, made with coffee infused Doctor Bird Rum, cola reduction, coconut cream, and Underberg. It was unlike anything I've ever had! It was rich, tropical, complex, and with just the right kick. It's an absolute must try. Another crowd favorite was the Purple Gang, featuring lavender vodka, lemon, and butterfly pea tea, which gave it the most stunning purple hue. To finish the night, we ordered all three desserts to share: the burnt sugar tres leches, strawberries and cream, and the hot brownie with cinnamon ice cream. My favorite was easily the tres leches. It was light, creamy, and perfectly balanced with the crunch of burnt caramel and the subtle sweetness of coconut, it was a creative twist on a classic dessert. The warm brownie with cinnamon ice cream was pure comfort and a chocolate lover's dream, while the strawberries and cream offered a lighter finish with sesame brittle and hibiscus, creating a unique combination that reminded me of an elevated granola paired with a glazed donut cream. From the beautiful atmosphere and attentive service to the creative cocktails and delicious food, Supergeil delivered an unforgettable dining experience. Whether you're planning date night, catching up with friends, or celebrating with a large group, it's definitely a spot worth adding to your Detroit restaurant list. read more

This cool, industrial space was hopping at 7pm on a Friday night. We managed to find free street parking and get a table for walk ins, which was great. The menu is German/Turkish/Mediterranean fusion. Plenty of interesting items on the menu! We started with Lutenitza appetizer with pita. Very tasty with a pop of pomegranate. And we ordered the eggplant fries too, which were sweet and crazy good. We also had cocktails. I had to try the Snap Pea margarita... which tasted exactly like a snap pea margarita. Bizarre and not a taste combination I will repeat, but unique. My friend ordered the purple gang and it was sweeter and bubbly. We split cheese ravioli which was good. For dessert we had the chocolate brownie with cinnamon ice cream. The ice cream was the star of that dish. My only issue was the volume of this cool place. Music was loud and the patrons were louder. I will try it again with an eye toward a less busy time slot. A truly unusual and delicious menu! read more

The ambiance was cool. Love the decor. Chill, relaxed old world vibes. The service was okay. They were slow taking our order. Slow with the drinks. Not very personable. The food was okay at best. Hummus, lamb meatballs, pita bread, and the sea bass were good but nothing special Green beans, potatoes were not good. Deviled eggs okay. Best thing was the burger and brownie. BOMB! Won't return though.... read more

Came here for brunch with a large group. Quaint place with interesting decorations and murals. We were seated straight away. Service was pretty good and server was mostly available. Food was well presented and came out all at the same time. Everyone was for the most part happy with their choices. The doners were tasty so I hear, as were the potatoes and eggplant fries. I didn't care for the first dish I ordered which was some kind of sausage scramble. I am GF so was limited on the items I could order. Didnt like the flavor of the sausage. The server was gracious and had no issue replacing my meal. I got the beet apple salad instead and that was both fresh and refreshing. The coffee and fresh squeezed juice were also good. Positive experience overall and would come back. read more

Very cute spot right off Michigan Ave near Central Station. This is my third time here and I have to say the food has improved tremendously in the last few years. The potatoes are the bomb. The Doner sandwich was delicious with really interesting St.Patrick day roast beef and sauerkraut combination. I enjoyed the sangria. We liked the eggplant fries and the beet salad. We came in with a large group right after the Corktown 5k races. Our waiter was very patient dealing with a bunch of slightly hangry girls. We were celebrating a birthday...My only pet peeve is that they brought out dessert before serving coffee or clearing the table. read more

Always forget how GOOD they are, til I go back again. We shared the deviled eggs (4 halves to an order), the Chop Salad & a spicy Lamb Doner, and everything was really fantastic. Great server, she was really terrific. It's so cute inside! I had a City Clouds, which was delicious, so crispy, herbaceous & fresh & my husband had Dirty Don's, very 'Mai Tai' flavor he thought and very well done. Highly recommend Supergeil! read more

Where do I start? Has to be the best meal I have had in years. Maybe the best meal I've ever had! The restaurant is so beautiful and thoughtfully decorated in every corner. The music, greenery, art and the natural light coming in created a beautiful and calming feeling, perfect for a Sunday brunch date. Our server was so sweet, and she made great suggestions! We started with drinks, an aperol spritz and a vodka martini. For a starter, we got the hummus. Hands down the best hummus and best pita i have ever had. Both so delicious. For entrees, we both opted for khachapuri- his the sausage and pepper, mine the mushroom. They were phenomenal! My first time having khachapuri. Now I need to learn how to make it at home- although I'm sure it would be nothing like what we received here. read more

The space is beautifully decorated. They have a unique menu with great drinks and service. They have a pretty large craft cocktail menu. Our waiter, James, answered lots of questions about drinks and made suggestions based on what we told him we liked. They were all a hit. As for the food, the hummus was some of the best I've ever had. I had the donor kebab which was good with a nice sauce but over salted. I would've also preferred it on their flatbread (that came with the hummus) instead of the ciabatta it came on. We also got an appetizer with pomegranate, the lutenitza. It was unique and delicious. A dining companion got the ravioli, and another a burger. They both said they were good, but nothing spectacular. I tried a ravioli and thought it was pretty good. The fries were a disappointment. Will definitely be back for the appetizers and the drinks. read more

Supergeil - 6th from the sun - Mediterranean Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

So glad I finally was able to stop into Supergeil! I'd been wanting to try it for so long. They have a great location in Corktown and the drinks they make are made with Two James, which is right across the street. The menu has a lot of great options for vegetarians and tapas style or mezze style. We ordered the labneh, deviled eggs (without the salmon roe), the red pepper dip and I also got some soup. Our friends loved the food they tried. The interior is nice and modern and welcoming with hanging plants. I can't wait to go back! read more

Beautiful restaurant and decor, very kind and attentive staff, and the food was 10/10. The lutenitza dip with the zaatar pide was awesome. The deviled eggs were good too but nothing crazy. The best bites of the night for us were the eggplant fries and the shrimp and crab dumplings. The branzino is cooked beautifully and has some great pickled vegetables on it. The drinks are strong and very tasty. read more

Came here for a nice brunch with a larger group of people. We ordered a few apps, coffee, and entrees. Server was excellent and checked in relatively often. Food was delicious. I had the salad I thought it was outstanding for an iceberg lettuce based salad. The beignets were soft and fluffy. They had supremes oranges which were also surprisingly a hit. The only thing that was a little odd was food service like when things came out of the kitchen. It seemed like the kitchen was sending food out by food item and not by party. This would be great if the entire party ordered the same thing. Unfortunately we did not and so it made out eating time longer than expected as well as some people getting food much sooner than others. I appreciate the small kitchen and the well made food but food expo was a little off. read more

When I first started noticing this place I thought what an interesting menu. Such a wide variety of food from Mediterranean to Eastern European it was definitely interesting. I decided to bring a group of senior citizens here for a monthly lunch club and have to admit a little nervous. It couldn't have gone better from the food to the service they loved it all! I chose the chicken schnitzel I think it was called. It was a pounded chicken breast fried crisp on top of one of the best salads made of head lettuce I've ever had. It was very good and fresh tasting. We tried a couple desserts the tres leche cake and bumpy cake. Have to say wish we would've just gotten the tres leche cake it was amazing while bumpy cake was average. Would definitely come back another time. Try it it's well worth it. read more

Parking: street parking. Some what plentiful but you still gotta fight for one. Service: it's a busier place. Make a reservation or sit at the bar (first come first serve - they'll serve food at the bar still). It is a bit on the louder side but still decent enough to talk and a chill/casual ambiance in general. Super nice staff Food: humus. Get the humus. They do change their menu so something that you see might not be there next time. Their fries are also really good. Would be excited to return and try new things. read more

Very nicely decorated restaurant with a good vibe. Our server was very excellent - friendly and attentive. We started with a hummus and it would have been better without the heavily handed olive oil and green sauce that topped the hummus. The chicken in the pita sandwich was very good, just wish there was more of it. It was a very spicy sandwich with red jalapeños so if you like spice, you will definitely like this sandwich. read more

Love love love it here! An amazing staff, always super friendly and great food/drinks! We stopped in for HH yesterday and the options, the portions, the taste were all amazing. I always get the classic light beer (when you order the light/dark beer, you get two mugs at a time, and if you ask you can do one light one dark) as personally I feel it goes with every dish - but we also got the daiquiri and the G&T which were both awesome. Curtis, our bartender, was great and always kept our drinks and stomachs full. The burger was juicy, simple and delicious, the Lamb doner was to die for, we also god the flavorful tomato red-pepper bulgur and the lamb meatballs. I'm glad I didn't get the fries because I would've been rolling out of there. Now I need to go back to try the other half of the HH menu! Amazing experience as always, can't wait to go back! The space itself is nestled in a cute corktown building, right on the Main Street. There's ample free parking on the Main Street and side streets. It's lively but always an enjoyable experience, the friendliness and excitement of the staff really sets the Supergeil experience apart. read more

Took my best friend here for her birthday lunch and it was the perfect place! This was our first time here and we were amazed with the beautiful decoration and the overall aesthetic of the restaurant. We split the shakshuka and the pork belly egg's benedict which was both flavorful and rich. Definitely order the pita (the pita on its own is divine too) to eat with the shakshuka since it only comes with two slices of toast which is not enough for the sauce. The eggs were perfectly runny and the pork belly was not fatty which I prefer. We were taken care of the entire time, the service was great. I'm excited to come back and try their other dishes!! read more

The restaurant was very attractive -- hanging plants and interesting decor all over the place. I loved that they left a glass milk bottle of water at the table for us. (We drank most of it!) The server was very nice. The menu is very unusual; it was a bit difficult to know which things were which. The main issue(s) for me were that, while they did tell us that they serve food as it comes out of the kitchen, they did NOT say that it could be 20 minutes between people in the same party being served. I don't think that explaining it excuses it. My friend was just about finished eating by the time my meal finally came. They also didn't note that things like fries and falafel are spicy. I did ask for the spicy sauce on the side, but the both the entree and the side turned out to be spicy as well. The other issue was that the plates are made of a light plastic material, and every time my friend cut her chicken, her plate jumped a little bit, which was annoying to her. If I come here again, I will have more of an idea of what to order; the flatbread with hummus would probably have been a better choice for me. read more

I was visiting my friend while on the east side of the state and he was RAVING about the deviled eggs so clearly we had to drive into Corktown to actually try it out and it did not disappoint! We went for lunch and was able to park right outside the restaurant, which was ideal since it was FREEZING that day, and was seated right away! The restaurant was absolutely adorable. They were still decorated for Christmas which kept the holiday spirit alive after the New Year and the menu still had some fun touches that allowed you to keep that vibe going. We decided to split the deviled eggs, the hummus and the falafel and fries. So let's break it down... LOVE that the deviled eggs came in an even number. Thee restaurants that give you an odd number? Get out of here, because eggs are split in half, where does the other one go? This place did it right! They had 2 different flavors. One was more pickled/olive and one had roe on it, so if you're not into that fishy flavor - it won't be your thing, but it was absolutely delicious! The hummus? It was good but a little on the bitter side. Once you mixed it all in, it was much better but not like your store bought hummus, so know that going in. The serving size was HUGE though so you definitely could get more than two people to share and getting two sides of bread was smart since we ended up eating and using it all. The falafel and fries were as expected and the perfect size to split. The sauce that came with the fries? Delicious!! Spicy and just the right bit of bite that I wanted with my meal! My favorite part of the whole restaurant was the beautiful fiddle fig that was hidden in the back near the restaurant. I definitely would love to come back and try more if I'm ever in Corktown! read more

Pretty close to as good of a burger as you can get. Started with the light house beer which was somewhat surprisingly pretty nice. Ordered the burger and added a side of fries. Burger was close to being fantastic. The dijonaise was a bit strong for my liking, but it was a very solid burger nonetheless. The french fries were simple, but simple is good. Definitely want to return for the doner, but highly recommend the burger; especially if you like mustard. read more

Daughter came here the day before and thought it was so good she wanted to show me and her husband. She ordered the same thing, a kale salad. I tried the salad and it was fantastic as it included donor meat. Donor meat is a combo of beef and lamb broiled on a vertical spit. For an appetizer we had the pictured hummus which came with great seasoning. I had the pictured donor sandwich which had a ton of pickled peppers along with the meat. The bread was a thin layer, probably fried, and added to a perfect sandwich. Very trendy decor and excellent service. read more

Went out to brunch yesterday at Supergeil for Galentine's and had the best experience! It was my first time here and it is beautiful inside. Our server was helpful, patient, and kind. We got the Honeynut Squash Labneh for an appetizer with chips and pita bread and it was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully crafted-- 10/10! I got the Mushroom Khachapuri for my main course and I was blown away with the flavor profile (and I will be coming back specifically to have this again!). For a drink/dessert, I had the Horchata which was fresh and one of the best Horchata's I have ever had. We were all raving after our meal with how great this place is. I can't say enough great things about my experience dining here yesterday, but I can't wait to go back! read more

Atmosphere was fun though a tad loud for date night. Had heard so much about this place but food was hit or miss. Probably most disappointed in their Doner kebab which is a signature European dish. It was a mess. Meat and veggies seemed disjointed and there was a poor ratio of stuffing to bread. On the other hand, Brussel sprouts, arancini mushrooms and Georgian dumplings were excellent. Waitress always seemed in a hurry and didn't offer any typical pleasantries. Like this was our first time here and upon first meeting us it was all "let's get down to business. What do you want?" Was disappointing read more

Every time I come to town, I want to eat at this place. The food it always excellent. The hummus is excellent and so is the Labneh. They are known of the lamb meatballs which are super good and spicy (not hot). I will say that on this last visit, I noticed the lamb meat balls had changed in texture and in taste. They are still good but different. I do think, I like the older version slightly better. Anyway, if you are visiting Detroit, please go and try this place out! read more

Stopped by Supergeil for a late lunch over the weekend. I was hoping for the brunch menu, but it must be a sunday only thing! The lunch menu was pretty dang good too though - everything was super fresh and so flavorful, tasty! *LUTENITZA $11 (roasted peppers, fresno chili, pomegranate, walnut) - I've never had Lutenitza before but this flavorful dip reminded me of muhammara with the complexity of the sweet, sour and umami flavors. It also had a lil' texture to it! This was served with a LOVELY warm pide topped with fresh oregano. Amazing. *DEVILED EGGS $8 (pimento olive vin, salmon roe, dill) - These were served as 4 halves with two of each flavor. No complaints on these; I also like that the temperature was right (slightly chilled because no one likes room temp deviled eggs kthx!!) *BEET & CARROT $10 (apple, mint, carrot, clementine, sunflower seed) - this salad was a great side. It packed such a punch of flavor for really simple ingredients. The clementine gave it a really nice brightness. *EGGPLANT DONER $15 (tahini, apricot amba, cucumber, tomato, lettuce) - Honestly I probably wouldn't have ordered this if our server didn't recommend it but it was FANTASTIC. The eggplant was thinly sliced, fried coins so no mushy eggplant texture. The amba and tahini combo was so savory, umami -- almost like a mayo but without any actual mayo!! They also cut it in half for us so we could easily share. I have a feeling that as the Michigan Central re-opens, SuperGeil is going to get busier & busier!! Free street parking. read more

We had dinner there around 5:30 and it was the perfect time to beat the rush. The food was absolutely delicious! I had the red and Lamb Doner and husband had the Fish and Chips. Both were very good, all bite size meats and fish. They used Bronzino fish for the fish and chips, which was a nice change from cod. The place is beautifully decorated, very hip, earthy, nice bar and a large room for parties. I will be back to try more dishes. This was a good spot before heading over to the DIA! read more

Finally visited Supergeil for dinner. Service was very good and quick, despite it being a busy evening. Good volume level to have conversations, too! I shared several dishes with my friends: oysters, fries, baba, and a few other things I frankly can't remember. Everything was delicious. That said, the cocktails were honestly a bit underwhelming. Their toddy tasted like pure alcohol, and I couldn't even finish it. Overall, a solid option for dinner, but I'd probably skip the cocktails next time and just order beer or wine. read more

Returned to dine at Supergeil again - this time with my toddler. Disappointed that there are no kid menu options and nothing simple to feed a child. I asked for just plain chicken breast and that's not an option here. The waitress recommended the $16 burger as the best option. I opted to not order anything for him. I ordered the hummus and was disappointed I couldn't add a simple protein (like chicken breast). I ordered the lamb meatballs last time and they were dry. I added the eggplant, but was disappointed by how much you actually get for $7. So essentially after tip I paid $30 for hummus with eggplant - reflecting back I wouldn't order this with eggplant again. Decor was still nice. Street parking was fairly easy. read more

Supergeil in Detroit--Mediterranean coastal cuisine with a North African twist, and honestly, an easy place to recommend. We rolled in with a crew of 15, and our server, while clearly a little nervous, was a great guy who handled it well. We tried a ton here, and the starters set the tone. The Honey Squash Labneh had the perfect mix of spice, chili butter, and sweetness. Hummus, baba ghanoush, and lutenitza--all fresh, all fantastic, so good we ran back multiple rounds. But the real star? The Doner. A veteran of the place told us that's what you need to order, so we listened. Half the table went with the Adobo Chicken, half with the Lamb Beef Doner. I had the Lamb Beef, and it was an absolute hit--spiced perfectly, the fresh cucumber and tomato balanced it out, and the garlic sauce tied it all together. Just an elite sandwich. Cocktails? On point. The NOLA-style Brandy Milk Punch was a smooth, sweet way to kick things off, and the Supergeil Old Fashioned paired flawlessly with the Doner. The interior? Super cool--tons of hanging plants, artsy walls, and an overall great vibe. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and check this place out. read more

Really cool spot, I love the look of everything! The aesthetic inside was nice. We sat in a booth and I loved the layout of it (picture below). Also street parking in the area is also free which was a plus. I loved the menu concept, it was very unique following the "western migratory pattern of the stork" and definitely makes this place stand out! The food was fantastic as well, a little bit too salty for me, especially the branzino, but when you upgrade the entrees to a platter, it comes with a bunch of sides which helped with the saltiness. Along with the branzino, my group also got the lamb and steak! I enjoyed both of those more than the fish. My favorite part of the meal though was definitely the sides (and the deviled egg appetizer), it reminded me a lot of korean banchan! The water had a little flavor to it that I couldn't quite put my finger on, it was...interesting, I would definitely order a soda or something else to sip on if I came again. We also ordered some drinks and everyone seemed to like what they ordered. They also had a great mocktail menu along with some sodas if you're not a drinker. Our waiter was really nice and helped us organize our table when the food came out cause we got a lot! read more

I loved this space for a get together with friends! The booths are super cute although there is not a ton of space on the table if you do dinner family style like we did. Speaking as a graphic designer the menu is absolutely gorgeous. I thought the food was yummy, but all of the protein was a bit too salty for my liking. There was 5 of us splitting 3 platters and we probably could've gotten away with just making one of the entrées a platter because we got A LOT of food. The only other issue I had was that the water tasted... a bit off? I've drank city water and that was not the issue I had with it. We also got the deviled eggs as an appetizer and they were delicious. Our server was very attentive and patient with us asking a million questions and dropping napkins/needing straws and such. Overall I would come back again just for the vibes. read more

I'm not sure I've ever had better French fries--which feels like a strange thing to say about a kitchen pumping out fusion dishes inspired by Turkish, Balkan, and Eastern European street food. The selection of tinned seafood is electric. I did choke once while eating the fish for two after accidentally swallowing a spine, but that was user error, not a knock on the establishment. 5 stars no take-backs. read more
