    a bag of food
    Monique H.

    I don't know what it was but I was very disappointed. The sauce had a very sour after taste. The crab leg meat was very dark. The lobster tail was very large but was like rubber. I could only eat half. The only thing the was decent were the potatoes and water. I saw the bad reviews on Instagram but decided to go with a friend anyway. I got the 49.99 bag, with the mixed sauce. If you do decide to give this place a try, I would maybe just start off by trying the shrimp and potatoes.

    My friend suggested this place based off a TikTok. It is very bright and clean inside, there was a subtle "seafood" smell when first entering but it was not overwhelming or super fishy. The had light pop music playing overhead. We went on a Saturday around 5 pm and were seated immediately. I believe you seat yourself. I ordered the 1lb snow crab bag which came with corn and potato. The menu isn't super large and most of the offerings are entrees, which I found to be very disappointing. There weren't any appetizers options other than soup and salad. I was super hungry and the bags were going to take a while so I ordered a side of Cajun fries for an appetizer. There are no alcoholic beverages available but they offer Pepsi products and lemonade. Our waitress also stated they had two mocktails the blue ocean and the dragonfruit which were blue raspberry flavoring mixed with Sierra Mist and dragonfruit flavoring mixed with Sierra Mist respectively. On our waitress' recommendation we tried the dragonfruit mixed with lemonade. It was ok, but had an artificial taste. Note: It was super cold where we were sitting which was by the unused bad, it felt like a door was cracked somewhere and a cold breeze wafting through the place. The Cajun fries came out pretty quickly, they were hot, crispy and overall decent fries . My companion ordered the fried red snapper for her appetizer lol and it looked and tasted amazing, very hot and fresh with good seasoning. Everything in this place gives a fast casual vibe; the drinks are served in plastic to go cups and the silver ware is prepackaged plastic which is not my preference when dining in a restaurant. The wait for our crab bags was 40+ minutes, which is insane. The lack of appetizers and cocktails gave us not much else to do but look around and notice all the tables were full and none but maybe two of the 8-9 parties present had any food on their tables. Now for the bags...after such a long wait we were treated to some of THE most overcooked crab legs I've ever had. The shells were so soft I didn't even need a cracker which thank God because we were only given one for the two of us to share because, as our waitress stated, "we are short on them". The thought of passing a crab cracker back and forth while getting messy with crab bags is also insane to me! The shells were so soft and limp I was able to peel the shells open using only my fingers. The flavors were ok, I had the mixture of all flavors offered with mild spice. The corn was amazing and the potato was good. My companion said her bag which was supposed to be the all flavor mixture with medium spice did not have ANY flavor or spice. She also had lobster tail that she stated was overdone and rubbery and shrimp that she said were almost mushy. I will say the staff were very nice although our waitress tended to disappear for long stretches of time. She was very apologetic about the long wait we had for our crab bags. I love to try new restaurants and glad I gave this one a try but I won't be back.

    1 lb snow crab legs, 1 pound shrimp, corn/potatoes/rice, 1/2 lb lobster tail, 1/2 lb muscle

    Food was great, a bit salty but the the rice and potatoes balanced it. I wish they would give you scissors as well along with the crackers because the snow crab was very hard to eat. Pop was flat. Inside was very clean but could use more decor and our waitress was really slow.

    Beautiful Soup is one of Detroit's latest & tastiest pop-up ventures!…read more The operation is spearheaded by Angela, a talented young cook whose focus is geared towards making healthy comfort foods readily available at an affordable cost. As the name suggests, soup is the primary focus but make sure you order a couple side dishes to get the full Beautiful Soup experience. What does this mean? Each dish is prepared with the UTMOST care & attention to detail (from the ingredients, plating and menu design). WHAT I LOVE MOST is everything is made from scratch, seasonal & local ingredients are used (means the menu* changes each time), the price is just right ($12 will get you soup, 2 sides, and dessert & the portions are well balanced), everything is scrumptious, AND most importantly the TLC that goes into making each dish really shines thru - love it! FAVORITE DISHES: Cauliflower Fritters, Quinoa Salad, Kale & Brussels Sprout Salad, Harvest Frittata....oh and try any of their desserts - ALL are excellent! FAVORITE SOUPS: Lemon Rice, Pumpkin, Lemony Lentil and Mulligatawny.

    So I found this spot when I was in the mood for some shawarma and I gave it a shot. I used to work…read moredown here so I probably been maybe a decade ago but it's been quite some time so I thought I would try it again. You come and it's in the parking lot of a shopping center so was free parking so that's good. It's pretty large so even if you don't think it is, when you come in as much more spacious than it seems. The place is pretty clean and they're no issues with that but at the same time when I went there was nobody there and everybody was coming for pickup. So I guess that was probably why it was still clean because nobody had made it here LOL. I talked to the guy at the counter. He was super cool and gave me plenty of time to look over The menu. Even gave me some suggestions. Hummus - so the hummus was really good. They give you a heck of a lot of it. They put it in one of those small fry containers so it's basically spilling out but it's plenty and it's super tasty . Fries - the fries came with a little dark on them so I know they were fried crispy. They weren't seasoned like that but you had so many things to choose from, whether it be the hummus or the garlic sauce or whatever to dip them in. They got plenty of flavor on deck . Grape leaf wraps - so you get a couple of these when you get the combo platter. They're tender and moist and filled with rice and really good when they're super hot. I think I might have eaten these in the car LOL . Chicken shawarma - the chicken shawarma was really good. They give you plenty of it and they give you the pita to wrap it in. They have a sauce that goes with it but you don't even need the sauce because the chicken is already tender and flavorful . Meat shawarma - the meat shawarma was pretty good. I think that the chicken was better but the meat one was really good. It was super tender and very juicy . Grilled veggies - the grilled veggies were basically hunks of vegetable LOL. You got probably almost a whole onion grilled and you got a whole bell pepper grilled and then you got a bunch of carrots grilled. Everything was large. It wasn't like you got chopped vegetables or something like that ... But everything was still good. Salad - I had all the food that I listed and I didn't even really want the salad. It came with its own vinaigrette dressing, which was still really good but at the same time it was almost too much. The salad was very fresh and had the typical toppings that you would expect from a Mediterranean spot . Overall this spot was the best choice I made all day I think. You can get all this stuff for under $40. What better deal is that? I'll definitely come back when I'm in the area for sure !

    I stopped into Sahara Restaurant for lunch, and if there's one thing I learned quickly, it's that…read morethe lunch combo might be the best value in Dearborn. The owner was running the counter and he was friendly, welcoming, and clearly proud of the place. I went for the combo and I was greeted with fresh bread, soup, and their excellent garlic sauce, which deserves its own shoutout. I was dipping my pita with it and even added it to my rice. The soup was a pleasant surprise: a chicken‑forward broth with a thicker texture. The mixed shawarma (lamb and chicken), was enormous! Easily enough for two meals. The meat was tender, well‑seasoned, and came out fast. Between the value, the portions, and the hospitality, this feels like a hidden gem.

One guy seated at a booth on the phone and two ladies with their suitcase at another booth. Other than the 3 people, place was empty. Ordered carry out. crushed lentil bowl, chicken kafta, two sides: small hummus, small baba ghanouj, large fattoush salad with no pita. $38.13 Food takes about 15 minutes to be ready. Drove all the way back to the office. My chicken kafta looks to be lamb, not at all what I ordered. My large fattoush is covered in pita chips. Had to spend several minutes getting every pita chip out of the salad. It's good I am not allergic to gluten. They shove the dressing packet in the corner of the salad, so you get a bit less, that and the pita chips. Other than that, the salad was fine. I am quite disappointed the order is not right! The crushed lentil soup has a lot of rice in it, which is just filler to me. Has some clumps of something, may be rice and starch? It's too inconvenient to drive all the way back. Do be sure to check your carry out order before you leave the place. The crushed lentil is quite bland, not much flavor to it. Tastes some fennel, quite a few clumps of starch. The soup is more rice than lentil. I could count on one hand how many traces of lentil was in my bowl of soup. What in the world? My husband ate the lamb kafta, since I don't eat red meat. He said it was so-so, but rather dry.
