Middle Eastern Restaurants near Southgate, MI

“This was my first time at the location in Southgate. The parking lot is small, but the food is well prepared and fresh. There are kiosk inside to place your own order. You can pay with credit card or you can order at the counter and pay cash. The food was delicious and the portions can be spread over several options for lunch/dinner. I couldn't eat all my food because I got full so I saved some for dinner and some for lunch the next day. I give this restaurant a thumbs up🙂“

“I read the reviews and wanted to try this place with my fiancée who is a huge Mediterranean fan. Beruit Gardens did not disappoint! Food and service are excellent, the portion size is very good and the flavors some of the best, if not the best. Mediterranean that I have had.“

“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.“

“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.“

Too underrated!!
I had the chicken scallop and it was just perfect, the chicken, the bread, the sauce, the peppers, the fries, absolutely mouthwatering.“

“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“

“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♥️“

“Very Delicious food and great services.“

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

“First time trying- we will be back! The food is incredible, fresh and portion size is amazing. Pita is made right there in front of you and so fresh! The customer service was amazing as well. This is our new favourite shawarma place!!“

“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'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.“

“Excellent food and service. Got a catered dinner around Xmas. Was delicious, economical and saved me tons of work. No going back to slaving over a stove.“

“Excellent food in a friendly family atmosphere. I eat there daily, so it tells and means that I am big fan.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“I was impressed with staff, quality and variety of food and drinks. Highly recommend!“

“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“

“Absolutely amazing experience at Balqees! The food was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The lamb was incredibly tender, the rice was perfectly seasoned, and the fresh bread was outstanding. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and made us feel right at home. The portions were generous, and the restaurant had a warm, authentic atmosphere. If you're looking for delicious Yemeni food in Dearborn, I highly recommend Balqees. I'll definitely be coming back!“

“Was just wondering if Hummus recipe changed? We moved away 17 yrs ago. Whenever we're in town, we always stop. If nothing else, at least a big order of hummus to go. I always bragged it was the best. My husband grabbed some Fri, and it just wasnt the same.“

“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!“

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

“If missing your hometown bakery at your home country you need to visiting this lovely local bakery.
The smell once you enter will fly you to your childhood memory.
Everything i ordered from lahma be ajen , chees and mix of zaatar and cheese were super delicious.
Supporting this lovely ladies who's baking form hearts is important ♥️.“

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

“Great food, hidden gem in Flat Rock“

“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!“

“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.“

“Very spacious, nice servers and the food was good. One of the issues I have had with some Bucharest grills is they put way too much grease on the food but this wasn't too bad. My cousin likes to get the shawarma and empty the contents onto his fries and then eat the bread separately. I thought that was pretty interesting.“

“If you want the taste of the original kabob of hometown, then try this place. It is really the best. احلى طعم كباب جربت غيره وماعجبني الا من الكباب العراقي“

“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“

“Great food. Lots of flavor. Uber delivered right to my door without a hitch. Get the straw/banana/honey smoothie. What a meal. Shish Tawook with rice, fresh veggies. The fries are thicker, and dipped in the garlic dip. So good.“

“Best food, friendly family run business, I highly recommend you check out the Shawarma ❤️“

“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. 👍“
