Middle Eastern Restaurants near Ferndale, MI

“The best Indian food In Michigan ,loved it and recommended to others“

“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.“

“The rice bowls here are absolutely amazing! I’ve had them about four times now, and not once have I been disappointed. The restaurant is always clean, and the staff are very professional. This has definitely become one of our go-to spots.“

“OMG! Amazing food and Great service. Food is PLENTIFUL! I ordered my entree and it came with bottled water. two different bowls of soup, a platter of pickled vegetables, bread, hummus, baba ganoush, rice... it was all Amazing and the server was running all over to make certain that everyone was having a great meal.“

“First time went for Iftar with the family and amazingly everything was on point mashallah. We heard mix reviews from our friends and family but honestly we didn't taste anything better than this place in michigan. For the buffet they had various options to choose from and the price was really affordable. We tried the best zilabi on town. My picky eater son finished everything which means it's really good. Highly recommend this place ?“

“Hands down this was one of the best meals out my wife and I had in awhile. Friendly, fast and very clean. The Lamb Shawarma was excellent and my wife loved her falafel sandwich. This is a fantastic little place with fantastic people that really pour love in their food and you can 1000% tell. The food is just excellent and a great value as well.

We will be back for dine in and carryout frequently.“

“Their food was sooo good! I dined in but got food in carry out boxes so I wouldn’t have to pack it after. I didn’t expect Lebanese and Asian to fuse so well together but it did. I was a little overwhelmed when I looked at the menu but they had great service and explained what the menu options were allowing me to make the right choices.

I ordered the Pad Thai with beef and Drunken Noodles with chicken shawarma. They stir fried the veggies for the drunken noodles fresh (they have an open kitchen). The food came out hot and steaming. The drunken noodles were super flavorful with Lebanese spiced chicken, bell pepper veggies, and included a delicious broth. The Pad Thai was tasty too and I was positively surprised how the middle eastern spiced beef paired so well with the noodles.

The restaurant had a cute diner vibe with a unique combo of wall decor to reflect the fusion it was serving. Will have to pho next time! Looked enticing but will have to come back for it.“

“Best food ever. Nice employes“

“Exceptional food. Amazing service. Falafel and muhammara were some of the best I've had. The lamb in the mansaf was extremely tender and sweet. Absolutely worth a stop if you're interested in good food for good prices. Next time I'm in Dearborn I'll be coming back.“

“My favorite place for Lamb Fasah!❤️Delicious with the best spices of any restaurant I’ve had in Detroit. I brought dear friends here from out of state, and we had a great lunch. Service was A+. I appreciated the parking lot right next to the building.“

“In 1981 I visited Lebanon and all the years since then, I have tried to find Zaatar Manaesh and Akawi Manaesh that’s made and tastes like it does in Lebanon.

Finally, after over forty years, of disappointments from the places that I have tried from across America and Canada, I have found the real thing.

Lebanese style perfection, not only because of the taste, or how it’s made, but from the truly Lebanese warmth an hospitality from Abu Hassan and his family!“

“Visiting over Thanksgiving from Delaware…food was excellent and so was the service….highly recommend 😊“

“The food was amazing!!!!! The meat was tender in all the dishes, soup was so good, and everything was delicious. The service was also very good and fast. I would have given the restaurant a 5 star review if the bathrooms were cleaner and the floors weren’t sticky. But other than that this place is amazing!“

“Great food. Owners are super friendly. Will definitely go back“

“Shish Kebab Express has become my go-to spot for lunch, whether I’m ordering just for myself or sharing with coworkers. I usually order from there once a week. Their Chicken Almond Rice Salad, Chicken Ghallaba Sandwich, and Oregano Chicken are my favorites—every bite is consistently delicious and full of flavor.

The portions are always generous, and the value for the price is unbeatable. One of the things I truly appreciate is that they deliver to local businesses in the area, which makes it so convenient during a busy workday. It’s such a relief to have a reliable option for fresh, high-quality Middle Eastern food without needing to step away from work.“

“Came in for the first time with a major pregnancy craving for some Lamb Shawarma. The gentleman behind the counter was incredibly kind and helpful, double checking how much spice I wanted, and letting me know it would take about 15 minutes as it’s made fresh. Took the food home and everything was absolutely delicious! The lamb was tender and well marinaded, the seasoning was flavorful, and the vegetables and garlic sauce complemented everything wonderfully. Between the great service and quality, I will definitely be back again for this hidden gem!“

“I stopped in for a drink before a concert. The atmosphere was fun yet not overwhelmingly so. The bartender was real friendly and made a delicious drink called the Blue MF. And it was only $7. They have a bunch of specials drinks and an even larger selection. Keep up the great work staff and mgmt!“

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

“Very Delicious food and great services.“

“I've been here multiple times for steaks, this was a go to for my mom's BBQ parties annually for many years. Since they expanded into a restaurant and market we primarily just get the prepared foods since it's a little out of the way now but as a shawarma fan I can say they are top notch and have amazing food. They load up portions and everything has been stellar from flavor to freshness and at a fair price. I will go out of my way to get dinner from here. Highly recommend trying.“

“Take a trip to Sam City in East Dearborn for a classic Yemeni meal a most excellent experience. Sana'a's Old City One of the oldest continuously-inhabited cities in the world (others being Jericho, Damascus and Aleppo), Sana'a is believed to have been founded by Shem, the son of Noah. As a result, the city has the unlikely nickname of "Sam City". A absolutely explosion of flavor many Yemeni folks drive from around metro Detroit to enjoy a taste of home. I asked our superstar waitress Katie Rose to have chef make me special 20 buck Yemen Food platter OMG fantastic with half Yemeni Chicken, Tender Moist Lamb on a bed of the Famous Yemen Rice and hot sizzling bowl of Saltah Saltah (Arabic: سلتة) is a Yemeni dish. It is widely eaten in northern parts of the country. It is mainly served for lunch. The base is a brown meat stew called maraq, a dollop of fenugreek froth, and sahawiq or sahowqa (a mixture of chillies, tomatoes, garlic, and herbs ground into a salsa). A couple fresh hot outta the oven, Malawah Bread is one of the many kinds of bread eaten in Yemen. What makes it unique is that it is layered and folded with butter or ghee inside which makes it very tasty. She had a special Yemeni Chicken topped salad. Katie brought a couple cups of deliciousness Yemeni Tea Free for everyone a custom of true Yemeni restaurant. Easy to find large parking lot in rear. A must visit for a unique cultural experience like no other. #yemeni #malawahbread #dearborncitygov #sanaayemen #letsguide #motorcitymunchers“

“I had the lamb haneeth or something along those lines. Essentially 3 pieces of super tender lamb in very flavorful rice.

To my out of town folks, I highly recommend. I think it was around 24 which is significantly cheaper than what would we pay in busier cities. 10/10 coming back next August for sure“

“Great food great service you have to go try this“

“The new renovation is WOW , food good as always & excellent service , high recommended , book your event with no regret“

“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♥️“

“I wanna take a moment and thanks “The moon restaurant”
It’s cozy ambiance, friendly and attentive service. The falafel sandwich was a delight—crispy, tender, and perfectly spiced, wrapped in lettuce because I’m not eating bread with fresh veggies and amba sauce. Good variety on the menu, reasonable prices. Highly recommend it for a delicious meal!

Vegetarian options: I Highly recommend everything in this restaurant, especially Falafal, sooo delicious 🤤“

“I love the food and there very friendly there as well they make it to your liking 👍.

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

“Best chicken Shawarma I have ever had.“

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

“I presented today the young man that took my order was very pleasant and offered me some amazing tea. The lamb rice was scrumptious and the portion will last 3 days. I love the hummus. A+ for food!“

“Honestly the food here is really good. If there’s any issues ever they always solve and fix it, will even go out of their way to remake or give a discount. Really nice people and the food is really good, you can customize almost anything here to your liking.“

“I was surprised by some negative reviews. This humble restaurant offers remarkable value, especially compared to typical Middle Eastern prices. Where else can you find a burger of this quality for just $5? It delivers authentic flavors, warm hospitality, and a genuine taste of Iraq. It may not be suited for those seeking a fancy dining experience, but it more than makes up for that with honest food and kind people.
Good food doesn’t need fancy packaging.“
