“At a recent family birthday celebration, I needed appetizers at the last minute. I went to the right people for help! It was no problem for Kal and Ann! They cheerfully made fresh batches of delicious hummus (two varieties) which came with chips and pita bread. I served that, along with two kinds of their fabulous soup, to my dinner guests. Everyone complimented the delicious food Kal and Ann prepared. If you haven’t tried KAL’s Lunch Bowl, located in the Royal Oak Farmers Market yet, I recommend it. You won’t be a “just another customer” ~~ You’ll be a FRIEND!“

“I recently had the chance to try this restaurant after noticing a flyer left on my truck, and I’m really glad I gave it a shot. From the moment I walked in, the owner’s positive energy stood out. He was we welcoming, genuinely friendly, and clearly passionate about the food and the experience.
The food itself exceeded expectations. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. The Mediterranean bowls and sandwiches were some of the best I’ve had in the area. Well balanced, generously portioned, and absolutely delicious.
What really made the experience stand out was how much care went into both the service and the quality of the food. My entire family enjoyed their meals, which says a lot, and we’re already planning to come back.
It’s always great to see a business putting this level of effort into both hospitality and quality. Wishing continued success! This is a place worth supporting.
I also had a really large order and he personally helped me carry it to my car. It was a vibe from a time that doesn’t exist anymore. I really loved the energy of the entire experience.“

Both my husband and I like a little more cream so we get extra Dillio sauce (he gets spicy, I get regular) but the extra sauce really makes it!“

“Stopped in for a quick bite on our road trip. We picked this place because it seemed healthy and quick.

We were welcomed so warmly, all of the staff greeted us and gave is their insight on what’s popular and what they recommend.

The food was out together production-line style yet every bite was delicious. The vegetables were crips and fresh. The chicken was still not and perfectly seasoned and the rice was an aromatic base to the meal.

As we were leaving we were asked what we thought and how the staff recommendations worked out for us; my answer, 10/10.

It’s a shame I live so far away because this spot would be a weekly stop for me“

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about this restaurant and their team! I've been a loyal customer since they first opened a few years ago, and they have consistently exceeded my expectations every single time.
Recently, they catered a very special event for us, and everything was absolutely perfect. From the food to the presentation, the setup, and the incredible attention to detail, every aspect was beautifully done. The entire team was professional, friendly, organized, and truly went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly.
The food was delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented, and our guests couldn't stop talking about how amazing everything was. It's rare to find a business that consistently delivers such exceptional quality and service, but this restaurant does exactly that.
Thank you for your dedication, hard work, and for always making your customers feel valued. Supporting local businesses like yours is easy when you provide such outstanding experiences. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for amazing food, exceptional service, and a team that genuinely cares about their customers.
Thank you for helping make our event so special. We will absolutely continue to be loyal customers for years to come!“

“Best chicken shawarma around. Amazing spices on chicken. I’ve tried others. This is always consistent. Thank you!!!“

“You can only order online, I’m not concerned about their atmosphere. The website is pretty good, the items could use better descriptions. If you don’t know the cuisine it can be confusing, I.e. ordering for my elderly parents. Otherwise, love this place!“

“​I recently visited Red Olive Restaurant at their Warren location on 12 Mile Rd and had a wonderful experience. It’s a great family-owned business with several locations across Michigan—including Livonia, Plymouth Township, St. Clair Shores, Plymouth, Clawson, Wixom, Dearborn, Hartland, Howell, West Bloomfield, Southfield, Northville, Ferndale, Woodhaven, and right here in Warren. Despite having multiple spots, it still maintains that cozy, welcoming feel.
​I ordered the patty melt and a Greek salad—everything was incredibly tasty and the portion sizes were very generous! A huge shoutout to our server, Meloney. She was exceptionally helpful with recommendations, very down-to-earth, and had a great, authentic personality (definitely not robotic like you get at some places). I will absolutely be coming back!“

“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!!!“

“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!“
