"Considered one the region’s most beloved butcher shops, Dearborn Meat Market offers visitors a chance to purchase freshly made skewered halal meats for cooking at home, or, for enjoying on-site where they’re roasted over a charcoal grill. The casual market and eatery features a walk-up butcher’s counter where customers can pick items like kofta, chicken tawook, New York strips and rib-eyes, as well as a casual dining room and a variety of sides like hummus, baba ghannouj, and pitas. The space is owned by fifth-generation Lebanese butcher Sam Saad, who emigrated to the United States nearly half a century ago. While Dearborn’s dining scene continues to evolve with an increasing number of establishments that challenge the notion of what halal food can be, Dearborn Meat Market remains a beloved destination for its precision focus on producing quality cuts of meat in a welcoming space." - Serena Maria Daniels
