We ordered the New York-style lamb and chicken rice, New York-style chicken rice, chicken tikka wrap, and shrimp lo mein. Everything was absolutely top-notch! Everyone in our group loved the food. The place was clean, well-maintained, and had a great vibe. We’ll definitely be coming back to this amazing spot!

Inside was dirty like it hadn’t been cleaned all day. Floors were sticky too. It was awkwardly silent because no music was playing.

Food was ok, the generals chicken was good but not order again good. The chicken pita tasted like Swedish meatballs. Fries could have definitely cooked longer too.

The food was really great overall. Me and my family were greeted very quickly upon our entrance. I ordered the pita sandwich with lamb and fries and I got a beef patty while I waited. The service was good although it took a while to receive the order, the food was really good and I would definitely recommend.

Everything was delicious. Jamaican beef patty was crispy and savory. Chicken lamb over rice was served with tender meat and the perfect sauce. The butter chicken was also silky smooth with tender chicken and chewy chicken. Enjoyed with my fresh basil lemonade and great fast service.

I visited recently and was surprised to find that you order at the front window, similar to a take-out setup. The interior didn’t feel very clean, and my table hadn’t been wiped down. I ordered the butter masala lamb, expecting actual lamb, but was served gyro meat instead—which felt misleading. The sauce itself seemed watered down but had a good flavor. Overall, the atmosphere was mediocre, and the service could be better.

Had an awesome time at Detroit Eatery! Abdul was so welcoming and gave a great food recommendation for my partner—he absolutely loved it. Everything we tried was delicious, and the vibe was just right. Definitely coming back for more butter chicken and chocolate cake in my future. Yum!!

Stopped by Detroit Eatery and tried their Jamaican meat pie for the first time. The crust was flaky and fresh, and the beef inside was packed with flavor. Just the right amount of spice without being too much. You can tell it’s made with care and not just thrown together!

What really made the experience even better was the service. Dewan was awesome! Super friendly, welcoming, and made sure everything was on point. You don’t always get that kind of energy these days, and it stood out.

I ended up grabbing a second pie because the first one was that good. Going to try the butter chicken next time! Definitely a spot I’ll keep coming back to. Highly recommend checking it out if you’re in the area 10/10
