“I'm on a fixed income, so "fast food" is only an occasional treat for me. I found out about Shawarma Spot through a friend, and it has become my favorite little take-out restaurant. Their portions are quite generous, and you have several options for sauces and toppings. I order the Beef Shawarma, and at $8, I get two delicious meals for the price of one! (Admittedly, as a Senior, I have a small appetite.) Staff is always friendly, and they even put my "sauce on the side", so it still tastes fresh for my leftovers. I've frequently seen work crews there ordering Shawarma's multiple chicken wing deals. Give them a try!“

“Delicious fresh food that's made with love. Family owned and operated.“

“The food is excellent! They are friendly and have very good service!“

“I have been a loyal customer of Grape Leaves for many years. . First, the food is great and very healthy. It is also reasonably priced. The lunch specials don't cost much more than a fast food combination meal. The staff is courteous and friendly. I have never had a bad experience and would recommend Grape Leaves to anybody looking for healthy Mediterranean food on Northwestern Highway.“

“We don't have much middle eastern food where we live so when we visit our kids, we treat the whole house to a combo dinner from Kubba House. Always a treat!!

We try to get warm pita bread and garlic sauce at the bakery next door. Actually I think the tub of garlic sauce is cheaper at Kubba (at the counter) but definitely try to get the warm bakery pita bread at the store.“

“Always a winner. The food is flavorful and well spiced. The staff are always friendly and accommodating.

Vegetarian options: The vegetable Stirfry is a hearty mea. It comes with a choice of rice, Vegetables or Delicious and succulent potato rounds. There are many other choices, including a falafel sandwich, hummus tabouli sandwich, and many more. There are a number of salad and soup choices as well.“

“Best chef special and server!“

“This is definitely a hidden gem in Southfield. The food is great, the service is phenomenal and I would highly recommend this place.My friend and I met there for lunch, and had a great experience. The freshly made drinks are something that I would recommend.Their establishment is clean, the staff uses gloves to prepare the drinks and food. You won't be disappointed. ✨“

“This is the absolute best place in all of Michigan (maybe even in all the US) to get Arabic food. The shawarma, tawook, and Saji sandwiches are what got us hooked to this place but over a year later we ventured to other things on the menu (cilantro chicken, ghallaba, kafta kabob) and honestly everything is 10/10. Every one who we host and provide with Shish Kabob Express is amazed and always asks us where this food is from so they can get it themselves. Highly recommend!!!“

“I’ve been getting takeout from Aloumara once a week for a few months now. Medium fattoush salad and chicken shawarma sandwich is my go to. Definitely ask for the dressing on the side because the portion is huge and I always have leftovers for the next day. Lettuce and dressing is always extremely fresh and whatever seasoning they put on top of the pita chips is so tasty!!

Everyone who works here is extremely nice and very efficient! I’ve never had to wait for my food when I call it in ahead of time.

Also two items for under $15, (plus a tip) in today’s economy!?!? That price can’t be beat for the speed of service, taste, quality and portion.“

“I love this place, the food is delicious! The service is usually quick and always friendly.
Where i have a problem is the fact that they now charge $1.00 for a small cup a feta and olives that used to be free. I understand times are changing and the price of everything is going up but to charge for feta cheese when there is no free cheese option seems dumb to me. This seems like a quick way to make $1 more on each entrée. Everyone knows feta goes hand in hand with middleeastern food, I don't think this should be uncharged.
That's the end of my rant.“

“Just visited the new fort Gratiot location, it's really good. Staff are super friendly and the only is super kind. Will be back soon. Jared and the other staff were phenomenal.“

“Great place! Delicious food and friendly fast service.“

“First visit to Troy Kabob. Had a very good wrap. I will return.“

“Awesome food and great service!“

“can't beat the fast ans friendly environment. Highly recommend“

“My son had Princess cater his grad party and it was excellent! Everyone was raving about the food and asked where we got it. Kenny was so helpful to setup my order and i had 2 servers for the day. They were excellent! I highly recommend Princess for your next catering order!! They have 5 locations if you want to eat there as well. Absolutely delicious!“

“The food is great. the salad was very fresh and the dressing was fantastic. The whole meal was really good. We will be back!“

“Excellent every single time. I'm a regular.“

“Hands down the best food in the Area. Shesh Besh does not compromise on quality or portions at all and you will always leave satisfied. I’ve been going here for years and have never once had a bad experience. Every other Arabic restaurant pales in comparison to the quality offered here. Hats off to the owner for always delivering beyond expectations and love him for staying consistent.“

“Really amazing Mediterranean food! Jasmine is the sweetest woman ever. I got the sautéed mushrooms with chicken and lamb! The portions were huge, way too much but I couldn't stop eating because it was so good! Yep! I'll be back next time I'm in Detroit.“

“The food is amazing and the service is great. We ordered delivery and it was delivered early and with the food still warm. Thank you!“

“First time there, we loved the food very much .. the meat was delicious and flavored, the rice if it was Mandy since it's Yameni restaurants would have been a blast .. The restaurant owner was very courteous and made sure everything we need was served and beyond .. a must visit ?“

“Me and my wife both had shawarma. it was awesome. pita bread and hummus very good too. house salad was even awesome. Thank you.“

“OmG I thought I knew something about Mediterranean food. I was wrong. They picked all my food for me cause I had never heard of any of it. An it was....AWESOME. They suggested a carry out container an I was confused because it loomed like I could finish it in one sitting, again I was wrong.“

“Excellent food and outstanding service! I was greeted as soon as I walked in by busy but friendly workers. Since it was my first time in, they gave recommendations and let me try a few things. They were knowledgeable about the food and ingredients (I am lactose intolerant, so no dairy was important for me). I built my own Sandweech, which was delicious! The pita and hummus were amazing too. The my kiddos loved the kids bowls as well. Plenty of indoor seating. Seemed a bit small inside, but the amazing service and food made it worth the trip. I will definitely be returning to this restaurant!“

“I can’t believe I haven’t reviewed this place yet. Quite possibly my favorite place to eat. All of the food is fresh and delicious. Love all the sauces and pickled veggies. The amba and chili tahini and pickled beets are my absolute favorites. The portions are great for the price. Highly recommend.

Vegetarian options: All items let you know if it is vegetarian or gluten free

Dietary restrictions: Menu lets you know what’s in the different items and what is dairy/gluten free.“

“Matt at the Fenton location helped me create a bowl and it's awesome! great food great service“

“Very high quality and very delicious food. Very good customer service!! We went at around 4pm on a new years , and we believe it was the owner who greeted us, was very lively and treated us very well.“

“We've been going here for years and keep returning. The food is good the service excellent and the price is very reasonable. Be sure to try the complimentary fresh baked pita bread with hummus and garlic spread. If you go with a date make certain they have some of the garlic, too, do you cancel each other out. Portions are very good size and you'll get at least one more full maybe two meals out of the leftovers. Get a box for the leftovers and take them home. They have several locations but this is the only one that I've eaten at. I have to believe they are all going to be similar. Enjoy.“

“Labeeb is best server ever! Restaurant is fabulous! Best food ever!“

“This is my favorite lunch spot. I almost always get the fattoush salad with chicken shawarma on it. The veggies are always fresh and I think their fattoush dressing is one of the best around! The chicken shawarma is on point too! The people who work there are always super friendly and quick too! For the price , quality and portion size I would definitely recommend to anyone who wants an amazing fattoush salad!“

“Very friendly staff and best middle eastern food ever!!! Prices are great too!“

“Drove 1hour & 15 minutes and OHHHH EMMM GEEEEE worth the drive. Seriously the best Lebanese cuisine we've ever tasted!! the service was impressive and our waiter was super fun. We definitely will be back“

“The combo for two is my go to when I don't want to meal prep lunches for work, and it was always delicious and well-priced. However, lately in the last 6-12 months ish, the quality has suffered. The salad is often drenched in what I assume is water from washing the lettuce, the lettuce is brown or rotten in parts, and the tomatoes and cucumbers are soggy. The rice used to be yellow and flavored, but it's just white and bland these days. Thankfully they brought back the beef kabob as a part of the combo, and all the different meats are usually cooked and seasoned appropriately. The cost remains low, so I'll probably still get this sometimes, but I really wish the salads were better. By the time it sits in the fridge for a day or two, it's toast. Previously I could divvy it up for my lunches for the week and it would hold up through Friday just fine.“

“Amazing food and experience. Highly recommend !“
