47 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Hamtramck

“The cashiers are so friendly and helpful and the one that was working later in the day the one with long hair has great customer service I believe that he is still a young man working and has a future ahead of him The food was great and I highly recommended it.“

“This place is really really good for Middle East food. Take a friend out for his birthday he told me he wanted to go there. I never heard of it. Glad I did. They came out with bread and two different garlic dips, more spicy, and it was very good. If you ever ever down that area, check it out“

“I went to Taj AL-Yemen simply because it was open early and did not realize the space they took over nor how much variety they have.

1st this was a very famous breakfast spot in Hamtramck before the change of owners and I'm happy to say it still is. Very steady stream of workers coming in for a quick bite or grab coffee and something to go.

2nd the variety is wide and it's all very very good. I ordered fosoulia with egg, chicken galaba but it was too early for tandoori bread. I also got a mango lassi (yes I have to order it everytime I see it)

When I arrived I first drove past remembering the old spot then I double checked GPS. The inside layout of the restaurant has been redone, lots and lots of seating. You still have the doughnut counter but the I noticed Burek, whenever I see Burek I have to order it they have feta and spiced beef. It's super fresh and still warm at 7:15 am.

There's another hot food case, lots of choices but I saw the East African/Western Arabian (Arab/Swahili) style sambosas (yes with the B!) and of course I had to get 6 of those with the spice shake.

Additionally they have the same Arab/Swahili style sesame + honey crackers so I had to get some of these as well.

FINALLY I'm looking and they have the tastiest looking Saffron Rice and it was too fresh to pass up and a medium size box also had to come with me.

Now when I say I bought a lot of food I really mean I bought a lot of food. With tip it was only $70 and I'll be eating for days.

So happy to have found this gem in Hamtramck that opens up super early on my 2nd day of vacation. There's too much good food, the doughnut also look amazing. I'd say you have to go for the samBosas alone.“

“This place is a gem .. so blessed to Have them in hamtramck. I hope they open on east Jefferson too ;)“

“Not only is the food amazing, but the service here is unparalleled. Through a mistake of my own, my order was actually not placed when I thought it was. Even after figuring out it was my fault the wonderful staff here rushed my order through very fast, and were apologizing to me even though it was my fault. That’s not the type of service you get just anywhere. And the food? The Chicken Mandi was literally “fall off the bone” tender. The rice was cooked to perfection and you can tell their sauces are made fresh and in house. All of this for the most reasonably priced middle eastern food around. One thing is for sure, the Yemeni brothers and sisters who work here take pride in their work. 10/10 recommend.“

“This is our go-to for chicken shawarma. It's delicious and the staff are always friendly!“

“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.“

“amazing place, amazing owner. I'll return when I get to Windsor again“

“New menu was amazing. We had the potatoes, the scallops, burrata, and mushroom with shiitake dish. Burrata was hands down my favorite, thing. Perfect combination!! Highly recommend everything I got and the service was perfect, I mean like I finished my water and by the time my glass hit the table it was refilled. This was actually my second time, I’ve been before for a friends birthday and we had a different menu…..the pomegranate ribs were mouthwatering delicious. Not to mention the atmosphere inside, I personally love plants and that’s the first thing you notice when you walk in the door. Check it out for yourself, you won’t be disappointed!!“

“Visited from Toronto, Ontario and this place did not disappoint. Albaik Grill serves flavorful, authentic Middle Eastern food with huge portions. The mixed grill platter was delicious — juicy chicken, crispy falafel, fresh pita, and amazing hummus and garlic sauce.

Great value, friendly service, and food that’s absolutely worth stopping for. Would definitely come back when in the area!“

“This burger and fries are the absolutely best...the taste of the meat just melt in your mouth and the fries are delicious and no way greasy!!! Staff always greeting with positive attitude and restaurant is clean and up to standards! I just love this location!“

“best shawarma poutine in Windsor. other food they have is also really good. food is also priced good.“

“At a recent family birthday celebration, I needed appetizers at the last minute. I went to the right people for help! It was no problem for Kal and Ann! They cheerfully made fresh batches of delicious hummus (two varieties) which came with chips and pita bread. I served that, along with two kinds of their fabulous soup, to my dinner guests. Everyone complimented the delicious food Kal and Ann prepared. If you haven’t tried KAL’s Lunch Bowl, located in the Royal Oak Farmers Market yet, I recommend it. You won’t be a “just another customer” ~~ You’ll be a FRIEND!“

“Last week I tried Habibi for the first time, and I’m already planning my next visit! The place was clean and inviting, the staff were super kind and welcoming, and the food… wow. Absolutely heavenly. The spicy Habibi sauce is a must try!“

“Delicious food, generous portions, nice staff! 💜⭐️“

“Golden Chicken is seriously my new favorite spot! The chicken fajita was amazing — full of flavor and cooked perfectly. And that rice… wow, so delicious! Everything tasted fresh and hit the spot. 11 out of 10 experience — I’m definitely coming back here again!“

“Found this hidden lil gem Great food and super friendly!! Highly recommend Best Mediterranean I’ve had in a long time. Chicken tikka was the best with cracked wheat. My husband said chicken kabob was best he ever had !!!“

“Stopped in for a quick bite on our road trip. We picked this place because it seemed healthy and quick.

We were welcomed so warmly, all of the staff greeted us and gave is their insight on what’s popular and what they recommend.

The food was out together production-line style yet every bite was delicious. The vegetables were crips and fresh. The chicken was still not and perfectly seasoned and the rice was an aromatic base to the meal.

As we were leaving we were asked what we thought and how the staff recommendations worked out for us; my answer, 10/10.

It’s a shame I live so far away because this spot would be a weekly stop for me“

“This is absolutely the best Mediterranean restaurant in the state of Michigan. Their chicken swarma is phenomenal it is never dried out always fresh with homemade phenomenal garlic sauce. The humas is the best I've ever eaten. The tabooli salad will knock you out.You will not find a better Mediterranean restaurant.Thanks for the great food great service and fair prices. The owners will be successful in this location because they are customer friendly and they deliver what they claim to be the best chicken swarma Anywhere.“

“Just tried your new Ft Wayne location yesterday. Having lived in Saudi Arabia for years, your food is as close to legit as I have found since moving back to the USA!! The chicken Schwarma and tabouli were soooo good!! The falafel was the best I have ever had!!! The pita bread was excellent that the Schwarma was made with!!! We will def make the 1.5 hour drive to go back and do it frequently!!!“

“Been coming here for almost a year. Food is always amazing! Service is quick and waitress is very nice. Never left hungry or unsatisfied! Restaurant. is always so clean. Love that it is close to home and prices are reasonable.“

“I loved this place I’m so sad to see it go… my boyfriend and I loved to skate the Clinton River trail from dodge park to downtown Utica just to get shawarma. I hope one day they can come back 😢❤️“

“Fast friendly service & good food“

“Very beautiful place to eat with your friends and family“

“Today we ate there and the shawarma sandwich was omg amazing amazing I’m definitely coming back for sure very quit clean place family friendly and I recommend anyone near here or traveling and need a place to eat do not think twice at all so so good“

“Quality and great price for sandwiches and salads!“

“This place is awesome. The service is incredible. But the food was even better! The interior of it takes you back to a simpler time. Family owned and operated. The server was the sister of the cook. The coney dogs didn’t stand a chance. Fries were so crunchy and delicious. While there, the folks sitting to the left of me ordered breakfast. I’m definitely coming back just based off of how good their hash browns looked. 10/10. Definitely coming back!“

“Great food and service always fresh.“

“If I knew how to post a picture to this review I would. The food looked amazing but when I lifted the potatoes up from my breakfast bowl it was so much grease. Edit. After speaking with them they corrected the situation and assured me it was a one time thing. I appreciate the fast response and them taking the time to talk to me. Really nice group of team members and I appreciate Michael for speaking with me face to face.“

“I went to the Middle Eats on Eureka Rd in Southgate after the gym. My doctor put me a pretty restrictive diet due to my diabetes. I admit I was kind of apprehensive walking in because it’s been a real chore to stick to it when I have to eat out. I walked in and a young lady named Kayla R was at the counter. I apologized to her saying I need to ask questions about my order and I’m on dietary restrictions. She was incredibly nice and understanding. She asked me what I could and couldn’t eat and even made suggestions on how to make my meal that would comply to the restrictions. She even said she could make a phone call to find the exact ingredients of the sauce if I wanted her to. I was so impressed. In the end I got a bowl that complied to the dietary restrictions and it was very good. The other employees were also making suggestions and when I apologized for being a pain they all said they were happy to help. This wasn’t my first time there and it definitely won’t be my last. I can’t express my gratitude on how they all went totally out of their way to accommodate me. Thank you Kayla and staff!“

“Great good… friendly, helpful staff!“

“This place is a gem .. so blessed to Have them in hamtramck. I hope they open on east Jefferson too ;)“

“Mike’s Grill never disappoints.

I ordered the mixed grill combo and it was outstanding — two perfectly cooked chicken kebabs, flavorful chicken kofta, delicious rice, warm pita bread, fresh garlic sauce, hummus, and crisp, fresh veggies. Every bite was satisfying and clearly made with care.

What really keeps me coming back, though, is the consistency. I’ve been coming here for six years, and the food and service are always phenomenal. It’s rare to find a place that delivers great quality every single time, and Mike’s Grill does exactly that.

There’s something special about being able to enjoy an amazing meal at a great price while also supporting a fantastic local business. Highly recommend — this is a staple spot for me and always will be.“

“If you’re in Detroit and looking for an unforgettable meal, I can’t recommend Lena enough. The food was absolutely excellent from start to finish — the carrots and sweet potatoes were especially memorable (seriously, don’t skip them!). Every dish felt thoughtful, beautifully prepared, and packed with flavor.

The staff is just as wonderful as the food — warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. If you can, try to get a table by the kitchen. It adds such a fun, energetic vibe to the experience. And if you get a chance, say “hi” to Bella!

Already looking forward to my next visit.“

“Everything is fresh cooked to order very healthy, reasonable prices open Late .“

“my first time here the food was so good and the service was great Mrs.Sue was a great waitress“

“You can only order online, I’m not concerned about their atmosphere. The website is pretty good, the items could use better descriptions. If you don’t know the cuisine it can be confusing, I.e. ordering for my elderly parents. Otherwise, love this place!“

“amazing food and service*****“

“Went for the buffet this weekend. It was amazing! Hope to bring friends with us next time.“

“My cousin wed their beautiful bride last night and their original post wedding brunch location fell through at the last minute. Groups of us came through right as Supergeil opened. Now let me tell you, they moved mountains to host our celebration. The food was incredible and the warm hummus was some of the best I’ve ever had. Thank you thank you thank you for today! Cheers 🍸 10/10 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This was our favorite Mediterranean restaurant before they moved to the grocery store. The staff are always so friendly and we continue to choose them over all other restaurants in the area. My go to is the Mediterranean chicken stir fry with rice! Try it, you won’t be disappointed:)“

“My coworker had dinner and ordered the shrimp and chicken from there and the food was so good. I just had to go but the next time I went they was closed during my lunch break so I wasn’t able to get any.“

“Drove all the way from the US to support this business. Unique flavors, huge portions, decent prices.The Qedra bowl is a choose-your-own adventure of flavors and was fun to eat. I love all the pickles! Prayers for the continued success of this restaurant and prayers for peace in Palestine.“

“I had an amazing experience at CAVA! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt welcoming, clean, and full of positive energy. The staff , especially Dion, was friendly, patient, and genuinely helpful while guiding me through the menu options.
The food was absolutely outstanding. Every ingredient tasted incredibly fresh, and you can really tell the quality is a priority here. The bowls are perfectly customizable, and the flavors blend together beautifully — from the creamy hummus and crisp veggies to the perfectly seasoned protein and delicious sauces. Every bite was flavorful, balanced, and satisfying without feeling heavy.
What I love most is how CAVA makes healthy eating exciting instead of boring. The portions are generous, the presentation is beautiful, and the overall experience feels elevated for a fast-casual restaurant.
If you’re looking for fresh, flavorful food with excellent service and a consistently great experience, this place is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back again and again!“

“Great salads, Cinnamon French Toast, Saganaki, Sandwiches...

Nice all around

Waitstaff always a joy.

OMG - they deep fried the hash browns on request. Awesome!

Disappointed they don't serve more olives.“

“Like others have stated this is my # one restaurant. I fell in food love in 1997 when I moved to Michigan. And The service is great recently I chose Sam as my best waiter he is so on point handsome too anyway keep up the good job cause Im loving it 😊“
