Middle Eastern Restaurants near Allen Park, MI

“I think this was my second time dining here, but Shish Kabob Express hasn’t disappointed me yet. It has a fairly basic but comfortable interior, and the staff is professional. Service seemed quick, and the food was quite good. I got the vegetarian combo, and it came with a lot of different items. The quality seemed decent, and the quantity was high. I ended up getting a second meal out of it. It’s a great option for meals.“

“Two nights ago , my wife and I dined at Al Shallal, a Lebanese family owned and operated restaurant. We were warmly greeted by hostess/server Nourhan and offered menus. My wife ordered an absolutely delicious falafel plate that was accompanied by a marvelous tahini sauce and rice. I chose the perfectly spiced and prepared mixed grill (beef kabob, chicken tawook and beef kafta served with a pungent garlic sauce and rice. Our order included, as a prelude, a choice of salad or soup. We opted for the homemade (all items we ordered were made from scratch) chicken lemon soup: shredded chicken, and rice in a deeply flavorful lemony chicken broth (yum). Our servings were generously portioned and absolutely scrumptious. Following the meal, we ordered homemade, once again, baklava and a small pot of a cardamom infused Lebanese coffee. Food heaven. Nourhan was an absolutely wonderful server (daughter of the owners who were the chefs). We have dined at many Lebanese, Iraqi and Iranian restaurants. Al Shallal, in Dearborn Heights , Michigan ranks at the very top for quality, price, taste, presentation, authenticity and service. Thank you Nourhan and family.“

“This place is amazing! And not just the food… The family owned atmosphere and the people running it our amazing. While I was waiting for my takeout order, I started talking to the two owners, their two adult sons, whowho were all having dinner… I commented how good their homemade chicken wings smelled and looked. Before I knew it, I was being forced to eat their chicken wings, dates, and the specialty drink that they were having for their dinner. I can’t wait to go back! The food is so good and the people were better.“

“Al Chabab is THE BOMB 💣!! We were looking for some good Mediterranean food, and this might be my favorite 🤍 We tried Muhammara for the first time, and I fell in love ✨ Muhammara is hummus-like dip made from red peppers and spices. It’s a tad spicy, it’s kind of sweet, and it’s SOOO TASTEY!! We also tried the Lamb Mansaf. Everything was amazing, the service was amazing. I felt at home at Al Chabab ☺️
UPDATE: we came back the next day for more!! This time we tried the Al-Chabab Cherry Kabob and it did not disappoint!! This is seriously some of the tastiest food I have ever tasted 💛💛💛“

“Best original “real” food I have had in a long time. Staff is amazing helpful and friendly. Thank you I am soooo glad I just happened to stop in. YUM. Vicki T“

“Alameer dearborn have the best arabic food and top servers we have the best cooks and best owners“

“Mashalla this is the best restaurant I have ever went to in my entire goddman life! Like, sheesh bro, calm down with the quality and tenderness of your chicken, my mouth exploded of joy when I devouered this divine dish! Allah must have bestowed this chef with his extraordinary cooking skills. Just absolutlely fabulous!
And my god, the atmosphere was just something else! The prison vibes were so accurate I felt like I was never gonna get out of this place, although I actually forgot that I have indeed murdererd someone and deserve to be in here! Absolutely crazy.
Also the variety of the food was great! Chicken and shrimp are only some of the few extravagant choices on the menu, but they are by far my absolute favorites (although I thought they tasted quite similar).
And the service was also ambsolutely amazing! The waiter (also the cook) was kind enough to provide me with a menu as soon as I entered and cleared a table for us by scooping up the remains of previous guests' food with a plastic tablecloth and making it magically dissapear like a wizard! And such grace in his movements! Truly the mark of a professional at work!
All in all the best restaurant experience I have ever had in my life!
Inshallah may your future be prosperous and may lots of customers flood the gates of Aden Restaurant! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏“

“I walked in and had a soujuk sub, chicken sub, and quesadilla. The food was really good and was made fresh, I was greeted at the door with smiles, the place was very clean and best of all the price of all of this was only 25 dollars. I was very amazed it was this good of a price because we don’t see that anymore nowadays. I loved the food and the people were great, I will Definitely be a returning customer and recommend everyone to try it if they need a lunch or a late night dinner. Fresh food and prices that cannot be beaten!!!👏👏👏“

“Enjoyed it very much. The Dillio sauce should be bottled and sold at the grocery store it's ridiculous how awesome it is. My Son and his Girlfriend took us there when we visited them in Lansing. It was so good we found the one in Southgate we will going there often 😎“

“Love the new location in Detroit highly recommend it great portion size. Great prices great staff, great atmosphere.“

“Incredible food, excellent service, prices are reasonable, ownership couldn’t be nicer. I can’t say enough about how great Basha grill is. Can’t wait to come back!“

“We've eaten here a few times recently and every time has been delicious! We have loved everything we've tried so far. The complimentary spicy garlic sauce with the bread is so good. The salad is so fresh and we love the dressing and pita chips in it. The hummus is great. The chicken schwarma sandwich is yummy and a great lunch deal. But we usually split the platter for 2 when we are both eating here because it lets you try multiple things and gives you way more food. we always have leftovers so we get to eat more of this amazing food later on. All the meat has been juicy and tender. We love the rice with the almonds in it. Everything is just delicious! Can't wait to come back. I want to try other things because they have so many things that sound good but we also love what we get already so it's so hard to switch it up! lol Might have to try something new next time though just to see what else we like. All the staff have been super nice and the restaurant itself is beautiful. Love all the unique lighting. Highly recommend! Trenton Location“

“Their chicken & rice has become my go-to comfort food, the wraps are great for lunches, and the mint lemonade 😍 hands down one of my favorite local restaurants.“

“The food you guys make is immaculate! ESPECIALLY the carne asada tacos. I will continue too put the word out for this place and also keep on bringing my friends and family. Thank you for great food always!“

“Balqees was a beautiful experience, fasting all day for Ramadan this place hit the spot. Greeted by the most lovely staff, I was seated in very comfortable chairs, surrounded by the most awe-inspiring Yemeni art pieces. Beautiful Yemeni outfits and jambiyas adorn the walls with decadence and flair that bring one’s presence to the motherland of the Middle East. Mashallah I felt like I had a small glimpse into heaven, joyful energy with families all around just enjoying the evening to the fullest. I had the Lamb Haneeth which really filled my taste buds with tantalizing flavors one can only describe as truly satisfying, invigorating, captivating, breathtaking, and utterly wonderful. To think there was an entire menu yet undiscovered I come to realize this was only the beginning of my adventures towards absolute joyfulness, happiness, satisfaction, and fulfillment through exploring the decadence of Middle Eastern cuisine. I applaud your excellence my dear brothers and sisters and I commend your spirit. May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala reward you with the highest Jannah for this night’s journey of an experience. Alhamdullilah! 5/5 stars“

“Fantastic manaeesh. We ordered half zaatar/half cheese, sojouk and cheese, spinach and cheese, meat, and keshk, all extra toasted, and they did not disappoint. The manaeesh were a great size (we ordered all regular), topped very generously, and ready quickly.

We also got two cups of tea with the order, and the total came out to $30, which is surprisingly affordable for the quality, size, and topping generosity (especially compared to what Houston offers).

The sojouk tasted exactly like the ones in Lebanon. The spinach was fresh, which made a huge difference. The zaatar tasted authentic, and the cheese was actually good (not plasticky). The meat mixture was very moist with no gamey smell, and the keshk wasn’t dry at all. Overall, everything tasted fresh, well made, and truly authentic. As a very picky eater (especially when it comes to Lebanese food as I’ve has the real deal plenty of times) highly recommend.“

“Best bakery in Dearborn hands down!!! The staff is second to none! Great ppl!“

“The best carry out ever! The Al Sultan Combo for 2 was way more than we needed but we are so excited that we will have left overs for tomorrow! The meat was cooked to perfection! The flavors in the rice, hummus and fattoush salad rounded out the perfect meal. No complaints! Just compliments!“

“Nick is a super waiter. He provided excellent service and educated us about Yemeni cuisine.“

“I orderes through DoorDash and figured I'd give them a shot. I ordered a chicken shawarma sandwich, small tabouleh, and medium fries as they didnt have an option for small through DoorDash. I dont know if something got lost in translation or if its genuinely like this everytime, but the tabouleh and fries I got would be large or extra large at most other places. The tabouleh was the best ive had from outside the home. The fries are fantastic, and the chicken shawarma came LOADED.“

“I've been to this place 3 times, tried 3 different items, and each time the food was excellent. This is not fast food. You can tell they use fresh high quality ingredients. I would definitely recommend this place.“

“Ordering catering for my baby shower, food was absolutely amazing! Everyone LOVED it!! Will definitely be my goto for any future events! Not only was it a huge the amount of food, but great price too. The staff was so nice in helping us determine how much of what to order!!“

“The food is outstanding. The taste was impeccable and unforgettable. If I could lick the plate I would so damn good and generous, huge portion. Whatever the price is he paid it for me thank you you are the best and don’t forget the tea. Oh my goodness so good. Thank u!“

“THE BEST PIES. I’ve tried plenty bakeries but nothing compares to Cedarland for me. Just the perfect ratio of dough to filling, best texture, best flavors. You would never guess what gem of a place that is until you try it. Thank you for doing what you do and staying consistent♥️“

“Great service. Amazing food. Top quality. Highly recommend.“

“Amazing staff. Amazing selection. Everything we bought was delicious. I wish I lived closer! I would go once a week! Authentic middle eastern food!! Bismillah!“

“Had lunch today with 4 other friends. The service was great. But the food was outstanding. I'm from the East side. So i often go the Iraqi restaurants on Ryan and 15 mile. The food served to us was better than any of those. Do yourself I favor and stop in at Arbeel Kabab for the best Kabab in town.“

No need to go to any other place. Period. Thank you“

“Amazing!!!!“

“We celebrated family member birthday last Aug.03 at your branch at East Dearbon. The place was nice and everybody enjoyed the food from appetizer (Humus) and the signature dishes (Fahsah and the grilled platter Lamb Haneeth). We loved it! And I’m giving 👍 our 2 servers (Ammar & Murad), the timing they served our food, drinks and the cake. I would recommend your place and would like to come back again. 👍“

“Delightful restaurant with amazing food. Great and fast service. We came for a late brunch and weren't disappointed. can't wait to try the grill!“

“This restaurant is consistently flooded with take-out orders all day and evening. We favor their Greek Salad and Deboned Chicken Platter. The food is as healthy and fresh as can be. We estimate that we have ordered from Alex Kabob around 50 times. Expect to wait 15-20 minutes to pick up because of the demand.“

“Great food with large portions and excellent service!!! You just have to give it a try! I will definitely be returning!“

“This little spot is a Lebanese family owned business with a friendly wife and husband team in the front of house, large portions, excellently priced combos, and 10/10 food. Dinner was insanely good.“

“I ordered a Greek Salad yesterday from Kabob Inn and it was SOOOO GOOD!! Chicken was just how I like it cooked and I added ranch dressing. I was in heaven. They also have great customer service!! I'm making them a preferred lunch spot!!“
