“We wanted kebabs but didn't wanna drive to Hillcroft. I found this restaurant and had great reviews. We gave it a try....they did not disappoint. Stepping out of the car and smelling the aroma of their kitchen, OMG! We ordered Adana Kebab and trust me we're going back.

The only downside is the parking, it's very limited.“

“My husband and I and our two children visited this Yemeni restaurant today, we are Palestinian and have never tried Yemeni food, we wanted to try something new and we were not disappointed. My husband ordered the grilled fish and it was the star, it was delicious! I had the Mandi chicken and it was so flavorful and tender. The Mandi rice was very good, especially with the tomato sauce and yogurt sauce. They had chicken nuggets and French fries for the kids. We also had the fattoush which I felt was lacking but not bad, it was fresh. Hummus was very good. My favorite part was the complimentary tea, very tasty. Our host and waiter was genuinely kind and attentive.“

“My parents recommended the Fajita Burger from FilFila, and I was not disappointed!It is a very large sandwich, with delicious, fresh ingredients. FilFila's house sauce is very flavorful, as well.When you receive the sandwich, it can be a little daunting due to its size. But the enjoyment really begins when you take your first bite. Beware, however, as the sandwich is always piping hot!I once tried the falafel wrap and was very underwhelmed by it, however.Finally, the owner is extremely nice, courteous, and really takes care of his customers.PSA: this truck stays closed throughout the month of Ramadan.“

“I swear to God, Abu Omar, I don’t know what to tell you, but I ask God to bless you with the broadest doors. It has been two years since I entered America and lived in Michigan. I did not eat shawarma like the old ones until the day I went to Houston and said I would try it and it came out better than expectations.
May God bless you and the young people in the restaurant. The least that can be said about them is that they are very respectful
We hope to see you in Michigan
Thank you“
