Middle Eastern Restaurants near St. Clair Shores, MI

“Had an amazing experience at Sahara Restaurant! The food was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The staff was very friendly and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The restaurant was clean, comfortable, and had a great atmosphere.

Highly recommend the grilled dishes, fresh bread, and appetizers — everything tasted authentic and delicious. Great portions, great prices, and excellent customer service. Definitely one of the best spots in town. Will be coming back again soon!“

“I'm biased, but this is MY KIND OF PLACE!
First timer with all kinds of pesky dietary restriction. Vegans and Vegetarians delight. Reminds me of NYC. Food is clearly made with love and care and historical precedent. Tastes like home - wherever your home may be.
Pies? Dangerously BINGEABLE!
The texture and flavor balance in the tabbuleh is unmatched in metro Detroit.
I won't be in every day, but will be back soon - a downtown pilgrim in search of Lebanese Tahini!
Five stars for the food. All the rest of them for the distinct lack of pretension, the immediate coziness, and the charm of the folks on the other side of that well traveled counter. This place is in great hands.
So. Freakin. Yummy.“

“The pricing IS insane. Chicken shawarma for 8$? Crazy! Pound of hummus? That's a lotta chickpea! Half pound of chicken kabob for 10$??? I can't cook like that!

If you're sitting at Copper Hop thinking maybe the food trucks get a little pricey, these guys have excellent food and portions.

Crazy! 🤪“

“awesome fresh food, creatively dished, kind friendly service and very generous in their portions!“

“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!“

“Really enjoyed this one.

I ordered a kebab-style wrap with chicken, lettuce, tomato, and garlic sauce, and it was full of flavour and really satisfying. The portion size was generous too, I ended up taking some home and finishing it the next day.

Simple, tasty, and good value.“

“the food was amazing great atmosphere the workers are very friendly and very helpful“

“I pass this truck all the time so I decided that I had to try it. The food was delicious! I got the beef shawarma bowl and it was sooo good. My husband enjoyed his chicken shawarma wrap too. If you like shawarma and food trucks, you should definitely try it.“

“The food is so delicious and the service is so friendly. It’s the second time I’ve eaten here and it’s even better than before. I highly recommend this gem of a restaurant to anyone, and if you like baklava, they have the best I’ve found around town. I’ll keep coming back trying new dishes.“

“Without a doubt my favorite Middle Eastern restaurant, wonderful food, warm atmosphere, friendly owner and staff, it is literally a weekly visit to Leila's for food and a chat, Thanks to everyone at Leila's, you guys are the best.“

“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!“

“These guys cooked me a SMASH Burger & Fries And it was the Best Burger & fries I have ever had!!! Burger Cooked to perfection & the Fries were seasoned & cooked to perfection……They definitely know what they are doing!!!!! I’m telling all trucker buddies about them…..“

“Have ordered from this business multiple times. Pleasant people always on phone/inside. Food has always been delicious and a lot of it. Would recommend this restaurant to everyone! Much closer and on par with/better than La Saj.“

“When we moved to the East side from Dearborn we were trying to find a good place for our middle eastern favorites. This is it! The feast for two is amazing and so are the grape leaves. The kafta and tawook are delicious, the shawarma and kabobs are pretty good too. We will 100% be back soon!“

“Great food and service always fresh.“

“So disappointing. Yearssssss ago, this place used to be my go to for Mediterranean dishes. After 2020, this place has consistently gone down hill. At first it was "hit or miss" but its all "miss". So much so that I went to be bed hungry vs eating my carry out. It's so unfortunate because they used to be so good. Yesterday was my last try, I bow out.“

“Amazing food; great service; portion sizes were huge!“

“Recently got a carry out from the Clinton Township location I ordered a bowl. It was very salty which I can only attribute to the rice since it’s chicken based the rest was grilled pork and fresh vegetables. I gave up half way thru just couldn’t handle the salty taste. Maybe they should sample it before serving?“

“Now this place is amazing. It has everything you want. The food is fantastic. Lots to pick from and the guys behind the counter are not your typical store food chefs. They are making art with food. Your mouth will know the difference. Plus they have a full store of goods and drinks. It's a one stop shop for basically anything you need. The staff is very cool. One guy reminds me of Sal for Deadwood. It's fun just to visit. They also deliver if you don't want to go there. Reminds me of some southern cooking. One guybhas 25 yrs in the place cooking and creates some amazing dishes like chicken alfredo stuff potatoes. Or Lamb chops. Wingdigs are out of this world. Full kitchen with lots of choices.“

“Absolutely, hands down, the best Mediterranean restaurant around! It's one of my all time favorites. I am NEVER disappointed. Today I ordered the tabouli with Chicken and a kabob Skewer. The chicken was so moist and juicy, tabouli is always spot on. The Kabob skewer... meat cooked perfectly and so tender and juicy. The vegetables were so tasty with the perfect amount of char. I'm blown away each time I order from here. Also, the staff are top notch. They are so kind and welcoming and you can tell they cook with love. Need I say more? You will absolutely not be disappointed. If you haven't eaten here, you gotta try it. You'll be a returning customer, I guarantee it!!!“

“Came in Sunday morning to dine in and I had the best service! Servers were professional and really nice. I have a gluten allergy and one girl helped me with the whole menu to see what I could and couldn’t eat! I’ve never experienced such great service and food! Everyone was smiling and filled with positive energy, they truly made my day. I highly recommend.“

“Food is always good! The Lentil Soup is the best!! We get it by the quart to go!!!!! So Good!!!!! Rice Pudding is Delicious! Picking up an order for dinner tonight!!!“

“yes very good and I always go back for the natural juices“

“Beautiful place to bring your family and wonderful service, great food. All the staff and owner friendly. Clean organized place, very classy. I recommend this place.“
