Al Shallal Restaurant

We recently moved to the area and came across Al Shallal. The atmosphere was welcoming and the waitress was super friendly, which made our first visit even better. We tried the Mulukiya from the special menu today, and it was absolutely amazing! Such a unique and delicious dish. We’ll definitely be back for more!

This place feels like being welcomed into a friend’s family home that warm, grandmother’s kitchen kind of atmosphere that instantly puts you at ease. The hospitality here is genuinely heartwarming and makes every visit special. Their soups are absolutely exceptional. Both the lentil and chicken soups are perfection in a bowl I’ve honestly lost count of how many times I’ve ordered them. Even my kids, who can be picky eaters, love coming here. The fresh salads are another highlight crisp, vibrant, and clearly made with quality ingredients. While the food isn’t fancy or pretentious, it’s undeniably delicious. What I especially appreciate is their commitment to seasonal cooking. The specials change regularly based on what’s fresh, so there’s always something new to discover alongside your favorites. This is the kind of authentic Middle Eastern hospitality and home style cooking that nourishes both body and soul. Highly recommended for anyone seeking comfort food that’s made with genuine care and love.

This place is great. The food tastes fresh and homemade. The chicken soup was warm and tasty. The grape meat leaves had very good flavor. The baklava was sweet and crispy — a perfect dessert. The staff were kind, and the portions were big. A really nice place to visit.

I was blown away with my carryout order today! The salad dressing was exactly how I like it. The salad was crisp and not soggy. So fresh and delicious with quality ingredients. The staff was so friendly! They are known for their delicious zesty lentil soup. Highly recommended!!!!!

From the moment my best friends and I walked in, the experience was warm and beautiful! Sarah greeted us with the brightest smile and the experience from that point on was great! It was our first time at the restaurant, so she offered us a bowl of their chicken and rice soup—which was delicious, then gave her recommendations. I ordered the fattoush salad with sharwarma chicken and that was one of the best I’ve had! Fresh & crunchy veggies with the perfect amount of lemon in the dressing! I will be back! ❤️

Absolutely loved my experience here! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented — you can really taste the quality ingredients and authentic Mediterranean spices. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. I highly recommend the lamb kebabs and hummus — both were outstanding! Perfect spot for a casual lunch or a cozy dinner. Can’t wait to come back!

Visiting Detroit for the weekend, we knew we had to stop by Dearborn for an authentic Lebanese meal. Al Shallal came highly recommended, so we decided to try it for lunch. We ordered the platter for two, which, honestly, could easily feed three! The kebabs and steak were incredibly tender and flavorful, while the hummus and falafel were among the best I’ve ever had. With the generous portions, we definitely had leftovers. Now, onto the customer service- the entire team, including Abdul, Hass, and Sarah, went above and beyond to make sure we were completely satisfied with our meal. They even offered us their in-house baklava, which turned out to be the crispiest and most delicious I’ve had. Al Shallal is a must-visit and comes highly recommended!

Came here after golf from a recommendation from a guy at the clubhouse. Didn’t disappoint!! Service was so warm and friendly, the food came out so quick and everything was unbelievably delicious. We got the Family Combo for 2 and the chicken shawarma dinner and everything was cooked perfectly, none of the meat was even remotely dry.

I can't believe the customer service! Yelp accidentally allowed me to order food when they were closed... and you guys.... They made it for our family! The falafel was maybe the best I ever had and the toom (garlic) was pure and authentic, no fillers. I highly recommend.

I walked in with an 8 month old and they were beyond welcoming and kind. The food was purely EXCEPTIONAL. The food was fresh and delicious. We had the beef shawarma plate and sandwich along with the Kibbe. Everything was incredible. They gave us some soup for the baby and it was delicious as well. Kindness and great cuisine is always a wonderful experience! We are visiting from Atlanta Georgia but will certainly be back in our next visit.

Can't get any better! Dolmas are amazing! Beef kabab are moist and perfectly cook. Garlic butter and pita so good!

After a long day of travel, I discovered Al-Shallal thanks to its stellar reviews and couldn't wait to try their highly recommended cuisine. The generous portions of flavorful, authentic Middle Eastern dishes like shawarma and rice pudding were exactly the soulful, satisfying meal I needed at an amazingly affordable price. Since they only offer takeout, I ended up savoring every delicious bite right in the back seat of my rental minivan. The irresistibly aromatic food was well worth the unconventional dining experience and provided some much needed refreshment and comfort for this weary traveler on a multi-city journey. If you're looking for delicious, homestyle Middle Eastern cooking that will leave you full and content without breaking the bank, Al-Shallal is the place to go, even if you have to enjoy it on the go. This hidden gem in Dearborn is perfect for anyone seeking a tasty, fulfilling meal, especially road warriors who need a quick but Quality pick-me-up between destinations. I'm so glad I found this place and can't recommend it highly enough!

Incredible homemade Lebanese food that was perfect after a long flight home. Only thing is the portion sizes were really large and not able to take them home. Would be back here next time I'm in the area.

I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS PLACE. Tonight was my first time trying their food. Service is 100/10 nice people and very nice service so sweet. I can't even explain how juicy and tender their meat was. I was saving my chicken shawarma to eat it until I get to my home but nope I was eating it on my way home. This is amazing food they have. NEW SPOT FORSURE. You guys have to go and try it out because they're literally so amazing and so nice of them. AL SHALLAL RESTAURANT 5 starts!!

Phenomenal customer service!! I came here with my sister and friend. The customer service was so good and the food was great. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone.

i stopped by afree shopping at Randazzos in Dearborn Heights. I'm glad I found this place. First and foremost they are lovely people who work at the front desk and smiles from the kitchen too. being welcomed like that made me feel special. Second, the RICE and yes I said rice was a dream! I've never had such a mouthy, flavorful rice before! I will come back just for the rice, delicious! Third, the homemade hummus was very good, creamy and fresh! The last thing I got was the chicken shawarma sandwhich, it was satisfying and a nice size. Overall, I will be going back and trying more meals and I will not forget about the rice anytime soon! Thank You!

From the moment we arrived to the moment we left we were treated like family. We hadn't been there in years and didn't recognize anyone but that didn't stop them from treating us like their dearest friends. The food was impeccable. We had the boneless chicken , fries, rice and the mixed grill with hummus and baba ganoush. Every bite was filled with flavor and the fatoush was out of this world! I would highly recommend this place

I'm absolutely in love with this restaurant, kind and respectful staff and amazing service during your visit for sure, I ordered Their Fattoush salad with grilled chicken on it and the quality and taste was superb, special thanks to the front desk lady who treated me like her family member

5 stars. Clean, fresh and delicious! Welcoming / clean environment if you are looking to sit in and quick service for pickup orders. Shish kabob and falafel are must try.

Absolutely amazing lunch. Restaurant is extremely clean and following all Covid regulations Service was prompt and extremely friendly. This is a must have if you're in the area.

Really good dinner. Had eaten here years ago. The service was awesome. Really nice dining area. Wife had Shish Kabob beef and I had Chicken Shawarma. Both were good. They were out of tabbouli but the Fattoush salad was good.

just enjoyed a dinner for two.. and was going to give it four stars. but, I couldn't think of why I was giving it four and not five? honestly it was that good.. have ordered from them many times but tonight was particularly good:) beef and chicken shish flavorful and not overcooked.. shawarma which can easily dry out was moist and well seasoned. hummus garlic sauce and Pita along with the Lebanese salad was delicious.

The food is delicious, and the people are amazing. I had the Garlic Chicken with cilantro on recommendation, and it was excellent. Highly recommended.

The food was exceptional, but nothing compares to our joyful server, Sara! Thanks for a delightful evening.

This place was amazing. I was working around the area and went to lunch. Searched top rated places around me and I went here. Customer service was amazing. I didn't find out until the end that the owner, Abdul, was serving me. He was awesome. Their food is amazing. I got the chicken shawarma lunch combo. Their salad is amazing. The place is amazing. I definitely will be coming to Al Shallal more often. I got a complimentary rice pudding at the end. All in-house desserts. Thumbs up

I grew up down the street from Al Shallal, and my family had their food at least once a week until we moved out of Dearborn Heights. The family who owns the place is so kind and makes everyone feel at home. Whenever I'm back in Michigan, I make an hour long drive for their delicious shawarma chicken, garlic sauce/toum, and the absolutely delicious lentil soup. I now live out of state and I've never found Lebanese food even close to the flavor and quality of Al Shallal.

I love the food it's amazing always very fresh & friendly service give them a try you won't be disappointed..Don't forget to try a al-shallal cocktail mmmm mmm GOOD! Great portions & Scrumptious baclava

Loved this spot! Our to go place to eat every time we go to Michigan! Mike was so awesome! Very friendly greattttt foood! My kids r picky and they loved it all..will go back soon insh'allah..thanks for great food and service

I believe Olive Garden stole the theme "When you're here you're family" from dining in this place. Owner Mike and family go out of their way to make you feel welcomed... offering samples of lentil soup while you wait the extra minute on your takeout or conversing with you in a way that you know they care. Makes you feel like family. I don't think there has ever been a time that mike hasn't helped carry a takeout tray to a customer's car. He is always stopping and chatting with the patrons in his restaurant. Grew up with this place and have been dining in since they opened. Nothing has changed, even the hand painted mural on the back wall. Their popularity has allowed them to expand to (and build) the banquet hall next door and although I've never been I always see cars parked outside. Food is delicious and cheap. Fattoush is a family favorite and I compare everyone's almond rice to theirs, the golden standard in my book. And their sandwiches are like 3 dollars... don't even bother calling in an order, you will get a fresh Shawarma (custom ordered) before McDonald's can hand you a fry. And whatever is amiss the very accommodating service can help remediate with a friendly smile. They do a booming carry out business but do beware that the inside may seem a tad outdated, but that just adds to the dining experience and gives the ambiance like you're coming home.

In the last year I've been to two special events at Al Shallal (birthday parties actually) and I wanted to sing their praises as an event space. Now, I will fully admit that it's not the fanciest of rooms. It's fairly basic with windows, tables, etc. Nothing architecturally stunning or interesting, but it's a great blank canvas if you have the energy to fancy it up a bit. The food is fantastic. One event was a sit down family style joint and the other was more of a buffet and both were delicious and varied in their menu. The staff were VERY helpful and sweet. They also have a bar area that is available if you want some booze stuffs too. Since I didn't plan the events I'm not sure if it's something you can get through the restaurant or you bring it yourself. I'm thinking the latter but don't quote me on that. If it's a smaller event there's room for a DJ and some dancing on top of setting up a few tables. One of my friends brought a PA and DJed themselves and it was a total hoot. A super fun dance party to celebrate my friend's 30th. If you're looking for an event space with a lot of ambiance this might not be for you but if you're cool with something low key filled with delicious food and top notch service you might want to give them a shot!

Absolutely love this place!!! Quality of the food was great, love the portions and most of all Z is always a pleasure.

Beautiful food and beautiful people! So nice always met with friendly faces! We truly enjoyed eating here! Thank you for being a staple in our community!

I don't write reviews, but Al Shallal deserves it. I heard about the restaurant by one of the employees/family owners, who said that I need to give it a try. I'm glad I happened to be working that night he came in. Because when I went today after work I was treated to a homey light hearted atmosphere and a bright smile. The chicken shawarma is perfect. It's the best shawarma I have had: panini grilled outside for a crunch, loaded with vegetables, tender meat, and plenty of flavor. The chicken and rice soup is also amazing rich broth and packed with assortments, you have to get bread with it to dip in the soup. If you like middle eastern food, like trying food, or are looking for someplace to relax while dining, Al Shallal can accommodate. Thank you Sara & Abdul!

Did not know what to expect, but a true gem of a family restaurant. Manager incredibly helpful and thoughtful. Food was delicious, healthy, filling and tasty.

The restaurant is fine, the banquet hall / party space is a joke. Very dirty / ghetto and poor service - walked into the hall to inspect space as they were setting up for party, there was poop in the toilets and the bathrooms were disgusting. I had to ask to clean before my guests arrived shortly -windows / doors were covered with black garbage bags, plastic plates etc. - there was ONE SERVER for 100 ppl - drinks never got refilled after asking multiple times This place is a few dollars cheaper per person than others but the value is much much worse. Do not recommend having an event here.

A Lebanese delight! The melt in your mouth Dolmathes and lamb were first class. As were the friendly staff and smiles. Diner style seating, family style hospitality.

They are so very friendly and welcoming in here. I have to say it was the most personable service I have had in the area. I felt like they were so happy to have us as their guest. That does put one's meal off to an agreeable start. The food was quite nice too. The garlic sauce is a little different but not at all in a bad way. The hummus is super creamy. Baba is smokilicious. Portions run typical Middle Eastern huge and you will not walk out of here hungry. The chicken rice almond salad was awesome. I loved it. My mom was all over the chicken livers, yep chicken livers sauteed with lemon, garlic and onion. You will have to trust her on that as I am not a good judge. My bite tasted about how I usually feel about chicken livers, which is blech. We were just in such a great mood here. Happy. Everything was done in the nicest manner and so efficiently. The freebie baklava was just a cherry on top. Other restaurants, ones who struggle with service issues, should visit here and take a page out of this place's playbook. I will gladly be back to explore more.

I wish I could say the food blew me away, but it was the charming waitress who stole the show. Even the other waitress who informed us it was her first day was very personable. A lot of people ordered take-outs on a Friday night while only one or two tables besides us were dining in. Most seemed to be regulars and everyone was treated like family. The menu is expansive. In addition, there are daily Chef's Specials for $8.50 listed on the wall behind the cashier and take-out stand. When was the last time you had lamb shank with sides at a restaurant for $8.50? Sandwiches are around $3 (seriously?). Also, you can print some coupons off their website to save a few bucks. Our waitress recommended the combination plate for two @$24.95 but I declined because there seemed to be more meat in that combo than I could handle. We ordered: House Maza plate for one ($9.50 for one, $13.50 for two), lentil soup, hummous with chicken shawarama plate that came with rice (or fries) and spinach salad (or soup). Garlic spread: 5 stars. Put it on everything! The waitress gave us more to take home. Crushed lentil soup: 5 stars. Not too thick, just perfect, Spinach salad: 4 stars. Lemony and fresh. Maza plate for one gets 3 stars for the combination of one falafel, one stuffed grape leave, hummous, baba ghanoush and taboulee salad. I could really use less taboulee salad and more than one falafel. Falafel: 4.5 stars. Not dense or overdone. Hummous: 3.5 stars. Baba ghanoush: 3.5 stars. My favorite is the one from Café Agora in Atlanta. Chicken shawarama: 2 stars. Dry. Guava juice: 4 stars. Perhaps we should have taken her up on that combo for two, which might have result in a 5-star review.

The best family oriented restaurant in Dearborn Heights with fantastic food and service.

I've been coming here with my dad for years. I moved to LA and always beg him to take me here whenever I'm back in Michigan! The food is AMAZING and everyone who works here is so accommodating and sweet. Nothing compares to the food here. I have never found a chicken fattoush salad anywhere that compares. I highly recommend trying it out!!

Great little spot in Dearborn Heights. Employees are very welcoming and so friendly. 1/2 Boneless chicken dinner was enough for 3 people. Large portions. I will be back for my favorites. Need to try one of the Daily Specials!

I ordered on DoorDash and they accepted my order charged me and when I got to pickup my food. I been coming here for a while now but a women at 12:20 pm 8/25/20 came up to the door with a disgusting attitude saying they are closed but doordash orders come on a screen asking to accept yes or no. But damn tell me it's closed you don't gotta act like that, disgusting attitude goes right into the food homie

Al Shallal remains my favorite "Faster food" / pickup food middle eastern restaurant. Ive been coming here just about since it opened. When i lived out of state for 8 years, I would make sure to get my fill when i came in for tje holidays. Ive ordered catering sized orders several times with them and it has always been a hit. Mike and his staff always treat customers like family. My only wish is that Al Shallal were available in my area, still i will drive the 60 minutes just to have this food.

This local favorite is off the beaten path, they have some of the best Mediterranean food in the area. I first started coming here to get the chicken Shawarma sandwich, but now I have become a Plant Based Eater and usually order the Raw juice, Falafel sandwich, Lentil soup, Baklava which is great! The Chicken Lemon Rice soup is outstanding, don't ask me how I know (ok, so I walk in to pickup my order and the owner shoves a freshly made sample in my face, choices - choices lol!!!), so yeah it's one of my favorite places for great food and Service.

There are many very good to excellent Middle Eastern restaurants in the Dearborn area. Fortunately, I was introduced to Al Shallal for lunch today. The lentil soup, grape leaves and lamb shanks were far better than any I've had in larger & more popular locations. I have no idea what prompted others in their review to disparage the owner, Mike, but he was extremely knowledgeable, professional and most importantly, a very likeable guy. I have more than a passing acquaintance with several top chefs in major cities and find the variance in opinion applies more often to the somehow maligned customer than the consistent delivery of the meal. I suppose that's what makes Yelp popular. Everyone has an opinion. Mine is: Al Shallal turns out spectacular grub. It would be remiss of you to overlook this restaurant.

The meat quality and chicken quality can be a little bit better. The rice is good. Place needs a little bit of updating. The waitresses are always really nice and I always take care of them. Charged me $20 for a large to-go container of garlic which is ridiculous.

Terrific food and impeccable service. Very super friendly staff took very good care of us and were just happy we came in. This was our first visit and will certainly will not be our last. They take pride in their homemade food and the quality comes through in every bite. Our soups, pita, and garlic dip were on the table in minutes. My husband who would never touch hummus was convinced by the very sweet lady to give their famous hummus a try; turns out he loved it. I do not normally try new dishes when going to a restaurant for the first time, I tend to stick to what I know; but I was intrigued by the Garlic Chicken Cilantro and decided to give it a try.....Wow!!!!! It was a delightful balance of garlic, lemon, cilantro, and fantastic chicken. Just fantastic.

I've only ever gotten carry out but the food was great! The ladies in the front are so welcoming and friendly!

I had been missing middle eastern food since moving out of Michigan and I decided to give this place a try for take out to meet with family. I'm so glad I did because they were so friendly and most importantly the food was delicious. Definitely recommend dropping by.

ID GIVE THEM SIX STARS but this stops at 5! This restaurant has the best servers in michigan! It's a family owned restaurant and they truly treat their customers like they are family. And the food is just as good as their service! The best middle eastern food I've had. Visit this restaurant and you will easily become a regular!

I stoped by this place for some chicken shawarma, and their steak kabob lunch special. It's truly the best I've ever had, the salad was amazing and flavorful, the pita bread and garlic sauce was A great in the car ride snack. I'm literally think of going back for dinner.

Remember how I always say customer service is as important as the meal? Well, this place certainly nails it with customer service. Right from the moment that we walked in til' we left, the waitress and owner were super super nice. The service is prompt and very attentive without hovering over you and they actually care that you enjoy your meal and it seems they will do all they can to make sure you have a pleasant experience. I overheard the waitress with another table and she was so patient in guiding them to dishes they may enjoy and offering to modify dishes to meet their needs. THIS is so unusual, which is so sad to say. Wouldn't it be nice if all restaurants had this type of service. Mike, the owner, checked on us, introduced himself, provided us with dessert. He seemed to really care that we enjoyed the meal. A+++++++++ IMPORTANT: do not judge the parking lot traffic as too wether they are too busy or not...We almost passed by because the parking lot was full and it looked like a small place. Hubs hates to wait in long lines, especially when hungry. We were pleasantly surprised to find out, that most of those cars belonged to partons who were in the banquet area. : ) Food: The garlic sauce is out of this world. I NEVER like the sauce because some places make it bitter...this had a smooooooth, light, garlic flavor..a tad bit of sweetness which made me think they roasted the garlic first. I never did get the secret, but we wanted to lick out the bowls...SOOOOO GOOD! I had the lamb chops. They were very good. I love that they didn't over season them and you were able to taste the natural flavor of the lamb. They were a little thinner and fattier than I've had, but very good flavor. The rice was good, but it was a side note to the lamb. I had the fattoush (sp?) salad and it was PERFECT. Nice bite size pieces of romaine lettuce, veggies and a light dressing; not at all overwhelming. Just enough sumac to give that tart flavor that I love. SOOOO good. Hummus was DELISH!!! Now, I don't typically care for a grainy for textured hummus, but this was very very good. PERFECT flavor of garlic, not too much tahini flavor or chickpea flavor, it all melded together nicely. Hubs had the meat grape leaves dinner. The grape leaves were nice size (5-6). He said they had a very nice flavor. He drizzled them with a bit of lemon and dipped them in his refill of garlic sauce and he was good to go : ) We were then treated to a delicious lil dessert ( on the house) which Mike makes himself. It was so light, but so good! PERFECT. I know some like to go to places and get huge servings but the quality, preparation of the food is so important and I appreciate that this place nails it in food and service. The prices are quite appropriate and fair. I think this could be our go to place for DBH middle eastern restaurants. It was nice to not be treated like outsiders and to just be treated like we are part of the family : ) THANK YOU Mike and wonderful waitress!

Never again. Terrible customer service terrible food. Was not happy. The kabob was hard and dry. The salad had a funny taste. The rice was too salty. The girl that was waiting on us was not pleasant at all. Seemed rushed she was a idiot. $50 down the drain I'd rather eat McDonald's.

June 27, 2016: If you want to be treated with respect as a paying customer, or if you have any sort of food allergies, avoid this place. Ordered today 2 meat Sharma minus tomato, due to a severe allergy. Got the sandwiches home, they had tomato. Took sandwiches back to have them corrected, only to have the guy tell me I ordered them incorrectly and he made them just as I asked. No sir, I didn't momentarily forget a severe allergy I have had my entire life. He "fixed" the sandwiches. Took them home again, and 2 bited into the first one I had a reaction. Opened it up and found tomato seeds throughout the sandwich. I am not saying it was malicious necessarily , but if a customer tells you they have a severe allergy it is more than a coincidence that the seeds showed up in the "fixed" sanwiches. I was courteous the entire transaction, only to be met with attitude and a second sandwich that could have killed me. Never going there again. Update for today, January 6, 2017: it is a full year and a half later, and I decided (against my better judgement) to order for the first time since my bad review. Asked for minus tomato. Stated it was a severe food allergy. Got the sandwich and the wrapper said "no Tom", so I assumed it was all good. Nope. Opened sandwich and it is covered in tomato. Seriously.

4.5- Mike the manager/owner/guy who greeted us at the door truly made this a memorable experience. My quest for the best Middle Eastern in Dearborn brought my friends and I here. Based on the recommendations of the yelp reviewers, we figured we'd check this place out. AMBIENCE- this place used to be a KFC. You can tell by the shape of the building, and they still have the display counter (though it is filled with desserts and sandwiches in lieu of extra crispy and original recipe chicken). All booths- if you're dining with more than 5, it may be an issue. Besides that, not much decor to speak of. SERVICE- as I mentioned, we were greeted by Mike when we first got there. Mike offered us the best table in the house (as the place was not too busy), and said "this is your usual table, right?" We informed him this was our first time. He was shocked, but took that as a challenge to really knock our socks off. He, and the rest of the staff most certainly did as they were attentive and engaging the whole meal. MENU- the menu was like most middle eastern restaurants in the Dearborn area. Nothing really stood out, but my group and I are seasoned vets, so we pretty much knew what we wanted to get. They had a number of lunch specials, although we were there for dinner, so that didn't really affect us. They do have coupons online for some pretty decent deals ($8.95 for stuffed lamb, $20.95 combo for two with two drinks). FOOD- after we were seated, we were presented with pita bread and some garlic sauce. LOVE garlic sauce! The garlic sauce had a bit more lemon than I would've liked, but still tasty. We then tried some spinach pie. The piece I got was a little burnt, but the rest of my group seemed to enjoy their pieces. Guess that is what I get for getting the last one. We also got a Fattoush salad for the table, as well as some hummus. The dressing on the Fattoush was a bit overpowering, but the hummus was ON POINT. I tried some of my friend's lentil soup, and it had a nice zing to it. Two of my friends ordered mango smoothies, and I gotta say, they were more mango slushies than they were smoothies (that you might have at La Pita, or most other Middle Eastern joints). They claimed they liked it, but I didn't think it was good as other places. As for the main course, my friend and I split the combo for two (which is really enough for 3), which was a good cross section of the food they served. The chicken and meat shwarma were very tasty, and did not have a sour after taste. The kafta was a bit dry, but still good. The beef kabob was dry as well, and though the chicken looked dry, it was juicy and delicious. The real stars of the meal for me were the grape leaves, kibbie, and falafel. The grape leaves did not have a sour after taste, and were excellent. The kibbie and falafel were moist and delicious. My friend got a falafel plate and proclaimed it was the best falafel he has ever had. To finish the meal, Mike gave us some free baklava. Again, I ended up with a less desirable piece (read small), but it was the perfect end to the meal. 2 of the people in my party claimed it to be the best baklava they have ever had. I too enjoyed it, though am still thinking of where it may rank. OVERALL- this may have been our first time there, but it won't be our last. Huge portions, low prices, and great service made this an enjoyable outing. While some dishes weren't the best I have ever had, the dishes they did do well, were some of the best my party has ever had. Check this place out! Celebrity Rating- Aziz Ansari

This is the BEST mid-eastern resturant I've ever been to. The portion is generous. The flavors and the aroma & the spices are mouth watering. Meats are cooked to perfection. The texture is just perfect. The rice is fluffy & has a great aroma. They make everything natural, aass the olive oil is le no other ice tasted here in America. The olive oil is imported from Lebanon. The baklava's are made from fresh honey & not sugar. The treatment was GREAT. They have the kids many FREE Baklava & free large humus. Make sure to try the beef kabob (beef Kufta).
