A Local's Guide to the Best Restaurants in Detroit | Bon Appétit

"Just blocks away from James Beard Award–winnerAl-Ameer(that moujadara!) and a favorite spot of the late artist Mike Kelley,Cedarland(that lentil soup!),Hamido(the Dearborn location) is the zenith of Detroit-metro Lebanese food. Expect long lines for carryout; orders written, unaccountably, on cigarette cartons; and a family-style dining room that’s at capacity every sundown of Ramadan. The chicken shawarma, layered with bits of lemon zest, is part dark meat and becomes al-pastor-level crispy; the foul (a fava bean breakfast bowl) is bathed in olive oil and comes with tomato, onion, and bright pink pickled turnips." - ByBen Hall
