Asked for no pickles but I guess they didn’t listen to my order. $9 for 6 tiny falafels. Order took too long to be ready. Not a good experience for me.

We have been in Detroit for 10 days and have already eaten here twice! Patternz is truly delicious, everything we have tried is out of this world and clearly made by practiced expert cooks. My husband and I order our own dishes, however it is all so tasty, we just put everything on the table and eat reaching over eachother to try the next taste. Below is what we have ordered so far and will surely eat again.

Lentil Soup: the richest smelling velvety soup of lamb broth, perfect texture lentils and balanced spices. So comforting.
Shish Barak: warm delicate thinned yogurt soup with perfect little dumplings stuffed to the brim with minced spiced beef.
Fattet Lamb: Decadent and delicious skin on bone in lamb piece cooked until so tender it can be eaten without a knife, sitting in a bed of small tender sheets pasta mixed into smooth garlicky spiced yogurt, drizzled with delicious olive oil and topped with blanched slivered toasted almonds and crispy wafer like fried pita shreds. (We have had this dish with and without meat…it’s incredible both ways)
Horak Isbao: this dish is so surprising and delicious, made of pearly lentils and small perfectly cooked pasta sheets with a deep sweet sour flavor of pomegranate and tamarind topped with crispy fried onions and fried flat bread shreds.
Foul Medames: toothsome slightly crushed fava beans in a glug of delicate olive oil topped with fresh crushed garlic and the finest shavings of parsley. The perfect warm bite to have with their flat bread triangles.
Flat bread: soft and fresh with char crispy bits on top and cut to the perfect size for scooping up your foul medames or eggplant mutabal.
Eggplant mutabal: smoky, creamy, thick and cool eggplant with nutty deep tahini and a lift of fresh lemon juice and olive oil.
Mixed pickled vegetables: juicy salty turnip and crispy green small sliced cucumber.
Rice: mixed with short vermicelli and fluffy like a cloud slicked with creamy butter and perfectly salted and nutty. We could’ve eaten the rice all by itself it was so good.

Last night I was hungry but I needed something fulfilling and affordable. When I remembered this spot I thought about how good it was the first time I had it. I got the Chicken Shawarma Salad & the Kunafah Bun. The salad and chicken is so flavorful, which reflects the exact feeling I had my first visit. I’m not typically one for salads, but honestly this place is like magic to me. I’ve always wanted to try a Kunafah Bun and this definitely hit the spot, I can only imagine how good one is fresh and right off the heat. All for a little over $20 is absolutely worth it! This location being so close by is a blessing, and the food it has supplied me with is even more so a blessing. Thank you Pattternz! ❤️

Not sure how this place stays in business. Terrible experience- Food is NOT fresh and very oily. Pretty sure they just reheat food here. They forgot part of our order and when we went back and expressed the food tasted sour the owner was very defensive and rude. 0/10 customer service. 0/10 food quality. Wasn't given an itemized receipt so not sure what the $44 were for. Save your money and go down the street many more food options.

Terrible experience! We were charged $3 per person just to sit, even though we only ordered coffee and tea. The Turkish coffee was $10, bitter, and full of grounds at the bottom. Feels like made-up rules to rip off customers. As a Mediterranean food lover who has lived in Greece, I can confidently say this place is not worth your time or money.

Very bad customer service with skyrocketing prices and hidden fees be aware of it , the owner was the cashier and the server and the cook all together we waited for ever to be served , on top of that he was rude with a very bad attitude, Food quality was below average. Never again , I don’t recommend it .

My family and I have eaten in the restaurant and have taken food to go and we have never ever been disappointed! Their food is like a trip back to mom and dad’s home with the most amazing comfort food. It’s absolutely always fresh and delicious. We would recommend this restaurant always! ❤️

They told me we don’t serve anybody at 8:30 before they even close

We brought the whole family to Pattternz for dinner and were completely impressed. The spread was incredible - grape leaves, musakhan, fattoush, kabsah with chicken, rice pudding, ice cream, and more. Every dish tasted like it was crafted with care, using high-quality ingredients and lots of heart. You can feel the love in the cooking.

The owner was genuinely kind and welcoming, making the experience even better. This place is a hidden gem, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Middle Eastern flavors in a cozy, family-friendly atmosphere.

This place is a hidden gem. This was my first time trying this family restaurant thanks to my son, and the experience and the food were fantastic. The owners are running the place, and they put all the flavor and dedication into the dishes. You have to come, and when you do, ask the owner what to try; you will be amazed!

Ive ordered from here multiple times. This place never disappoints me. Food always tastes great, cooked the authentic way, and you can tell they take pride in it. Every time I order from here for gatherings or dinner, I get so many compliments and questions about the restaurant. The owner is extremely friendly. I will definitely continue to support this place every chance I get. Please please please call the restaurant and pickup the food yourself if you can. Doordash fees kill small businesses.
