“A husband and wife team that serves homestyle Moroccan and familiar middle eastern food especially the moist and tasty Chicken Sharwarma sandwich. I love the bread that comes with the spiced zalook, Moroccan lamb tagine though I don't like lamb dishes!“
“This place has the best falafel, perfectly done and no bitterness. The grape leaves are also a standout. I wish they were open on Sundays, my typical dining out day. I also wish they offered wine or beer. Ambiance is non-existent, so maybe that's why. But if your dinner date is interesting enough and the food is good, who cares?“
“We stumbled upon this hidden gem while exploring, and it quickly became a favorite. I love introducing my son to new cultural flavors, and Mediterranean cuisine is a personal passion. The lamb shawarma sandwich and grape leaves were a delicious introduction. The true star of the show, however, was my son's reaction to the first bite - pure delight! The cozy ambiance and friendly service added to the overall charm. We'll definitely be back for another visit when my son returns.“
“So exciting to find the owner of Rumi's from Downtown Farmington open this place about 4 year's ago. Only the best Iranian Chef in Michigan my opinion. "Persian cuisine (Persian: špaziye Irâni) is the traditional and modern style of cooking in Iran(formerly known as Persia). Situated in West Asia (also known as the Middle East) with a diverse population, the Iranian culinary style is unique to Iran, though has historically both influenced and has been influenced by Iran's neighboring and conquered regions at various stages throughout its history." Such authentic cuisine, our first time outstanding service and exciting new flavors. Ordered 2 of the very unique Chicken plates, Flavorful n Juicy OMG, better than those Chic Fila Tenders LOL. Such marvelous explosion of Flavorful Rice see the description absolutely best ever eaten WOW Adas Polo with Chicken Kabob Lentils, raisin and date rice, plus chicken kabob. Served with basmati saffron rice it's all mixed together, you must try this dish. Also had Zereshk Polo with Chicken Chicken tenderloin served with basmati rice topped with caramelized barberries and saffron. Served with basmati saffron rice again mixed together in rice Wonderful. A family adventure enjoyed the Chicken topped Fatoush Salad, Hummus and marvelous Eggplant Dip with Persian Bread. Kashk-E-Bademjan Kashk, eggplant, onion, garlic and mint. The Dip n Bread both plated up warm a magical unique Delightful Dip. Shout out to Cara the owners daughter for explaining the food and superstar service provided. #caspianmediterraneangrill @caspianmedgrill #irainianfood #persiancuisine #ypsilanti #uniquefood #familyrestaurant #downriverfriendseat #motorcitymunchers“
“I ordered chicken tenders with ranch and chili cheese fries, for take out. The chicken tenders are huge and delicious. They're definitely not frozen ones that they pass off as homemade. The price was fantastic too. $11 for everything. The fries were delicious too, but the chicken tenders are next level. Highly recommend this restaurant. Also when I went inside to pick up my order it was super clean, the staff was really nice and it was quick.“
“Must try!! I went to this location for the first time yesterday, and got a salad with no meat, with fresh vegetables, hummus, and fatoosh dressing. It was SOOO GOOD!! Wayy better than I had anticipated. I will definitely be returning!! Their prices are reasonable too!!Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian options!Dietary restrictions: They have vegan and vegetarian options!Parking: Free parking everywhereKid-friendliness: Kids are welcome!“
“This place was amazing from start to finish!The restaurant itself is beautiful and well furnished, the food is delicious and comes out promptly, and the service is spectacular! I visited with my husband not knowing what to expect and was blown away.I got the Palm shish kafta with Moroccan soup. First off, we were provided with a sizeable portion of bread and garlic spread, which we had to pace ourselves on since it was so tasty and we wanted to enjoy our main courses to their fullest. Then the soups and mains came out promptly- they were spiced excellently and the meat was tender and plentiful.Our server Hoda was the best! She came around frequently to refill drinks and check up on us, plus she was super personable. When chatting with her, my husband mentioned how we were in town for his birthday, and at the end of our meal she provided us with some baklava on the house. That was such a nice touch; her service made this an awesome and super memorable experience. We will definitely be back!“
“The staff was great. My sister and I loved everything that we ordered. The hummus was perfect with the bread it is served with. We got a couple strawberry smoothies that were so fresh. The meal was so fresh with quality ingredients. My sister and I are still talking about our meals days later. The garlic sauce paired great with our meals. My sister got the cubes beef kabobs and I got fahsah chicken. They also have a kid friendly menu we got my niece chicken nuggets and fries. Will definitely be returning.Parking: Plenty of free parking around the restaurant.Kid-friendliness: Kid menu is clear on the first inside panel of the menu.“
“It's nice to have a place where I can get a grain bowl or salad without having to mess with going downtown. They have a nice variety of options and the serving size was perfect - it kept me going all afternoon! The customer service is great too. Mohammed was really welcoming and patient! Looking forward to coming here again.Vegetarian options: Many of the bowls include chicken, but it would be easy enough to make the bowl vegetarian/vegan by asking them to leave the meat out. I noticed chickpeas, edamame, and falafel as non-meat protein options.“
“Lavant food is consistently flavorful with generous portions. I've never been disappointed. I would describe this as "fresh boost" Mediterranean. I usually get bowls, but even their sandwiches have the crisp of fresh, quality veggies in it, and it's not as salty as similar offerings around town. It feels kinda refreshing to eat.The down side (minor): the bread they provide is just prepackaged pita, but still pretty good. They have a few small tables for dining in, but it strikes me as a takeout place anyway, and it's excellent for that.Wheelchair accessibility: Seems ok. Manual door though.“
“The food here is so yummy, flavorful, and delicious. Spiedo's entire concept (from the food, to the interior, to the 'graphic design is my passion'-esque posts on social media) is unapologetically vibrant. Please check out their IG; the design of their promotional posters are so avant-garde, it might send my graphic design professor into an aneurism. I went here for lunch and got the Zhoug Knight wrap. It was beyond flavorful. The interior is vibrant and intimate. Service was also great. Spiedo just might be my favorite Mediterranean spot in Ann Arbor. Can't wait to come back.“
“The people here re super nice! The nachos were only ok - would have liked the cheese to be melted instead of fresh and more lettuce and pico. The sweet potato and bean quesadilla was amazing. Would definitely come back to try other items since the reviews are so good.“
“Stopped on the way to the airport and was very happy with my experience! The food was super tasty (mixed shawarma sandwich) and the service was great! The staff was very friendly and had great personalities! If I’m ever in the area again I’ll for sure come back:)“
“I’d say to get takeout from here, since the dine in experience is a bit lacking but its fine.The fattoush salad is realllly good. I got the kafta too, was alright. I would say its a little dry but I did not eat it immediately. I honestly do not judge for not having stellar lamb, its hard to find.The service was quick and friendly. I’d definitely come back and their prices are extremely fair.“
“At the owner’s recommendation I had a lamb sandwich, which was delicious—super flavorful and had a nice heat/spiciness to it (which can be hard to find around here sometimes!). The owner is friendly and has an interesting story. Overall fantastic value (the price makes it possible to tip well :) ) I’ll definitely be back and look forward to trying other things on the menu!“

“The most delicious & authentic falafel I have ever tasted in my LIFE (and I have been trying to find falafel like this in Michigan for 11 years now)We ordered last minute catering for a 100+ person event and Haifa Falafel was able to fulfill the order on time (extremely impressive) and everyone at the event went back for thirds and took food home with them. It was my first time ordering from here and was hesitant at first to place such a big catering order, but was pleasantly surprised and will now be a regular customer along with all the other event attendees :) so so happy with my order, the quality of the food, and the service!“
“My husband and I were there this evening on a recommendation from Becca at Lazy Boy furniture. So happy that we went! Food was absolutely delicious. Generous portions. The best was the warm welcome and and very polite wait staff! We also took home some baklava, best we have ever had! Thank you all so much and we will be seeing you again!“
“Old school neighborhood diner on the east side of Ann Arbor. Achilles has become my go to place for breakfast in my brief time residing in Ann Arbor. The Servers are exceptional! Hopefully the owner permits staff to give me their wifi password one day.“
“Fairly small place but when I went it wasn't very busy at all. Staff were pretty friendly, food was delicious and incredibly affordable and service was quick. Location is also easy to get to with sufficient parking. Looked fairly clean inside from what I could tell. I think this may become a regular lunch spot in Ann Arbor for me.Vegetarian options: Falafel or veggie as fillings as well as hummus, rice, salads, etc.Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free options as well .Parking: Lots of parking in main lot as well as next to Trader Joe'sWheelchair accessibility: Sidewalk are low with entry onto sidewalk from handicap parking spaces. Lip to door is fairly level and interior has enough space to navigate, only area that may pose issues would be opening the front door.“
“I can’t recommend this place enough. The portions are big enough for dinner and lunch the next day. And the food tastes amazing. Souheil the owner and the general manager Randy doesn’t disappoint, the wait staff were very polite and spot on making sure our drinks were full and when we were ready for boxes they had them ready for us. They never made us feel rushed to leave. Just about the best restaurant I’ve been able to check all the boxes of things I expect. Thank you Souheil, Randy and staff.“
“This place is awesome! Clean, friendly service and amazing food. We tried the Gyro, lemon rice soup, French fries. Everything was delicious, soup was fresh and seasoned perfectly. The gyros(beef/lamb) were full of meat hot right off the grill. French fries were fresh, hot and very potatoey! And a coke machine,love these so many flavors to choose from. Cannot wait to go back and try grape leaves, fattoush, and beef kabob pita. Yummy!!!“
“Fresh food. Fast service. convenient location. Very Clean. We will definitely be dining here again. The young man at the counter was very knowledgeable and helped me order some new items from the menu. Job well done. The interior is beautiful and very clean. Looking forward to my next visit.“
“Food was excellent and fairly priced. Service was even better. We let our waiter know it was our first time here, (just moved to the neighborhood) and he gave us some baklava for dessert on the house! It was so kind, we will most definitely be coming back!“
“This was a follow up visit provided kindly by the owner after a previously rough experience. Much appreciated the commitment to your customers. This was a completely different and positive experience. Food, service and ambiance were wonderful. Thanks for giving us a reason to return. We will be back soon.“
“Start to finish, this meal was awesome.First, we were very warmly welcomed, and seated right away. The service was fabulous, with great recommendations. The food was very flavorful and cooked perfectly. The bacon wrapped dates were a surprisingly delicious flavor combo. We got the lamb shank and the salmon for entrees, both awesome. Dessert (rice pudding) was amazing as well. Love that its family owned. This place has been hiding from me! We will be back in the very near future.“
“I ordered the Lamb Kafka Burger and that is THE MOST DELICIOUS thing I have ever eaten. The bread was INCREDIBLE the burger patty was AMAZING. I might be spoiled forever now. No burger will be better than this! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly Recommend!“
“I had the Chicken Shawarma Bowl and really enjoyed it. The rest of my family had Chicken Shawarmas and also said they liked them. Baklava was pretty dry, whereas I am used to more honey/sticky baklava. Otherwise, I will definitely go back and get another bowl. Environment was clean and employees friendly/helpful.“

“This is a very common place we visit for lunch, the food is always consistent and very delicious. Personally I'm a really big fan of their lentil soup and spinach salad. They do have a brick oven for their rolls which are always made fresh with garlic sauce, don't forget to add some hummus to it goes perfectly! The price is always fair and if you use upside it's available there to. Next the staff is absolutely outstanding, they are very friendly and attentive and always provide a great experience.Vegetarian options: Lots of salad options and soup“
“Stopped in while driving through the area for work. Wanted something vegetarian and had a taste for falafel. Ordered a spicy falafel stuffed pita per recommendation if the proprietor. Did not disappoint and was probably the most delicious falafel I ever had! Keep up the good work and friendliness!“
