The space is really modern and upscaled but comfortable, not stuffy. I got a mocktail and it was DELICIOUS. There were rave reviews about drinks in general and the party really enjoyed the food. Overall our server was really kind but there were a few times that we were trying to track her down, especially at the end of the night. She seemed really busy having been assigned us and another large party. Overall i wouldn't mind hosting our events there again, we all had a really fun night, especially post dinner as we hung out by their fire pits outside!

I went here for my friend's birthday dinner and I liked the atmosphere! It was smaller than…read moreexpected but nice and quaint. Unfortunately, I would give the place a 4 if it didn't take our food, even our appetizers, an hour to come. Our particular server forgot to put our truffle fries in so we were drinking our cocktails on empty stomachs. Eventually we got our pork belly appetizer but it was small so I wouldn't recommend it as a shareable dish. My friend and I ordered a Mango Lassi Mule and we were really excited but it literally tasted like a basic Moscow Mule which was really confusing. There wasn't any color which would presumably come from the mango and it just tasted like lime. Everyone liked their food though and had leftovers. I had the Chicken Milanese which was yummy and a good portion. I also got the bday girl a dessert but they do not comp it which sucks. They did comp one of our appetizers since it came later. Overall a 3.5 and would like to try again for hopefully a better experience.

The tomato and lettuce was so fresh and the chicken was so well seasoned. It was absolutely delicious. The perfect sandwich. I'd go back for another one right now but will definitely be returning to this restaurant for that sandwich next time I'm in Detroit.

We ordered a beer, the house rock and rye mocktail (good but VERY expensive for a small soda $7), cheeseburgers (also good- the bun was great, the flavor was good, it could've used more fixings and was $21 with no sides so again, very expensive. My husband added bacon for $6), and shared a fry (again, expensive $8, but very good and a charnel side for sure) $56 for 2 burgers and 1basket of fries is STEEP. Food was good, not $56 good! Service was good! Overall a good dinner and experience but I don't feel the need to visit again!

Everything came out in a timely manner even when the restaurant was packed. The food was phenomenal! The ambiance inside is chill, cozy, girl date and family friendly vibes. The decor is unique, lots of things to look at. We cannot wait to come back!

I got a hibiscus margarita and Nate got an old fashioned--both were very well done and nicely balanced, good versions of some classic cocktails.

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.

Supergeil is an Eastern European and Mediterranean inspired restaurant nestled in the heart of…read moreCorktown. 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.

It's one of the most important parts of a trip!! Out of every restaurant we visited and even out of our previous travels- nothing has compared to the apparatus room!! It was without question the highlight of our time in Detroit. If you go, you have to order the chicken and waffles. It is unlike anything you've ever had. I'm serious. We have been all over Florida and New Orleans, etc. etc. and I've never had chicken and waffles like this. And don't skip the Keylime pie. They call it Keylime, but it's really something completely unique and absolutely incredible!! If you're lucky enough for your server to be RONA, you are in for an unforgettable experience. She goes so far above and beyond..... and, she answered so many questions that we had about Detroit. She is outstanding as a server! If I had to put my money on one restaurant in all of Detroit- it would be the apparatus room! It is an absolute must visit and just to help you locate it, it's inside the Detroit foundation hotel!!
