Alma Kitchen

I don’t know why I had never heard of this restaurant until now. I saw it browsing Google Maps and thought the menu looked good so I tried it out. The seafood crepes were absolutely delicious. They were stuffed with shrimp and fish and had a wonderful creamy sauce. I got the upside down apple pie since many reviews raved about it, and it was without a doubt the best apple pie I ever had with a crunchy caramel crust, sweet hot apples, and vanilla ice cream to go with it. I’ll return to try more of the menu!

So good, I had to eat here twice! I recently had brunch at Alma’s Kitchen and had a fantastic experience. The ribs were a standout because they were tender, smoky, and sweet, making them irresistible. I also enjoyed the breakfast quesadilla, which was hearty and flavorful, with a great balance of ingredients and vegetarian. The pulled pork sandwich was another highlight, featuring tender pork and tangy barbecue sauce on a soft bun. Finally, the chicken curry was rich and aromatic, with a perfect blend of spices that complemented the chicken beautifully. Overall, Alma’s Kitchen offers delicious dishes in a warm atmosphere. I highly recommend it!

Place was very nice. Had the orange chili chicken. It was cooked well and served hot, and portion size was great and very tasty. The Wait staff was nice and the dining area was spacious and clean. First time coming based on the reviews. Definite worthwhile to visit.

Ordered the Asian Black Pepper Shrimp and the Chicken & Wild Mushroom pastas to go. They were absolutely remarkable. I can’t believe pasta could be that tasty. I am pleasantly surprised. Easily my new favorite restaurant. I cannot wait to come back. Perfect flavors and friendly service. You will not regret it!!!

Stumbled upon this place accidentally. Turned out to be a great accident. The food was great and the service was great too. The Crab Rangoon were the best I've ever had. Will definitely be back!

I've been here a few times in the past 2 years! Food is always great. Service is always great and the ambiance is always great! Took my son here today and he gave every part of it 10 out of 10 and he's 13 so that's saying a lot! Love love love love. Love this place. Definitely recommend!

One of the best restaurants in GP. Innovative cuisine and affordable prices, a rare combination. We’ve tried many dishes and all were delicious. Lomo Saltado, Shrimp Flatbread, Al Pastor Quesadilla, Shortrib Sandwich, Shrimp & Grits, Salmon all had great flavors and unique. Greatly appreciate the $5 kid meals as well. Latest visit we had Danielle as our server and she was wonderful. Hostess was also friendly and personable. Definitely recommend a visit if you are looking for great food and service.

First time try. Creative kitchen offerings, good dumpling appetizer, fresh salad,main course peanut curry, shrimp noodle dish good. Ambience reminds me of warehouse I worked in with concrete floor and open ceiling. They add a 20% mandatory gratuity even for party of 2. If service is Excellent I’m going to tip 20%. Our visit was standard, I would’ve tipped 15%, but was forced to 20% mandatory, and there’s still an additional “tip line “ on the bill! . This tipping insanity has to stop.

My wife and I dined at Alma Kitchen last night, and had an exceptional experience from start to finish. We made a reservation and, upon arriving on time, were seated immediately. The hostess and our server were both incredibly friendly and welcoming, setting a positive tone for the evening. The restaurant itself has a pleasant, open atmosphere with well-placed tables that allow for comfortable dining. I ordered the peanut chicken curry, and let me tell you--it was absolutely phenomenal. Having lived overseas on two separate occasions, I've had my fair share of curries, from Japanese and Thai to Indian varieties. This curry was a perfect fusion and easily ranks in the top five curries I've ever had--honestly, it's top three. The balance of spice and sweetness was spot on, and the flavors were pure perfection. The portion size was just right, though I found myself wishing for more simply because it was that good. My wife ordered the hamburger with pork jelly and fried onions, accompanied by golden brown french fries. Every element of her dish was superb--the pork jelly added a unique and delicious touch, and the fries were cooked to perfection. Both of our meals were outstanding in quality and flavor. What really sealed the deal for us was the affordability. We were pleasantly surprised by the check, especially considering the 20% tip was already included (a nice touch). The service was excellent, so we tipped beyond that as well. Alma Kitchen delivered on every level--fantastic food, exceptional service, and great value. We will definitely be returning and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. Don't miss out on the peanut chicken curry--it's absolutely amazing!

The food was delicious! We had the chicken & waffles, pulled pork sandwich, shrimp & crab ragoons, upside down apple pie and the carrot cake. EACH item was delicious!!!! The restaurant was very clean and the ambience was quiet during the afternoon. The greeter and server were both friendly and attentive. I definitely recommend eating here because we'll be going back to try the rest of the menu.

8-4-2024 Came after visiting our nephew at St John Ascension Hospital. We enjoyed our drinks and both ordered Asian style dishes . Delicious with excellent service and cozy ambiance.

Alma kitchen has become somewhat of a staple in our family, being an easy favorite of my husband and brother's. Oftentimes when thinking of a location for weekend brunch, this is an easy choice. We've also been here for celebratory lunches and birthdays. The space is expansive with lots of seating making it great for larger groups. Hats off to the servers for managing this! The menu is huge with lots of variety and well-priced, so there is something for everyone.

I've been here multiple times with large parties, no one has ever been disappointed with their meal. Every dish here is very well thought out, rich, and executed. Each meal uses lots of different ingredients, nothing is simple here and you can really tell. My favorite meals are the Cajun salmon burger and the Asian black pepper shrimp. Group favorites are always the vodka chicken parm and biscuits and gravy. Service has always been fine. A few interesting decorations to look around at.

Excellent food, I have to say that their spinach artichoke dip is the best I've ever had. I really like the variety on this menu. Nice atmosphere, casual, and easy parking off-street. Took a star off my review for slow service (when there were only three tables filled) and the addition of a tip for a party of two. I always tip 20%, and I would have in this instance, but I wasn't given an option - and I don't like that. Tipping is *supposed* to be optional, so unfortunately as much as I enjoyed the food here I will not be back. Pay your servers a living wage, don't rip it from my wallet.

Wonderful breakfast!. Food is innovative in the service was spot on. Went as an extended Family and our table with comfortable and spacious. Good value.

Y3Ssss I Highly RECOMMEND this spot, WHY b/c location is 10 mins away, so we're going to frequent this spot. Started w/a cup chicken Tortilla soup, traditional taste, enjoyable. Ma ordered the beef tenderloin, veggie medley (zucchini, mushrooms) over a gravy w/ potatoes, all seasoned very flavorful! I ordered the chicken (crispy/hot) skillet, w/ red skin potatoes, peppers, chorizo, onions, topped w/ egg & pepperjack cheese, dousted w/ hot sauce, VERY delicious. It would be cool if they had some kinda warm bread & butter as a prelude. For drinks, the cinnamon old fashion was yum & refreshing. To top off dinner, carrot cake for dessert, nice size slice, they said it was homemade, ate lata w/ van ice cream, SLAPP!N! I'd give them a 9 b/c service was quite pleasant. Only downside... they need better ventilation in the washroom. The decor & artwork in the space embraced traditional heritage Alma's Kitchen was born from a blend of cultures. I love their origin story, ask them about it when ya visit! Overall plz check out this spot out soon & support their familial team.

*Visited on July 19th for lunch* I recently had lunch at Alma Kitchen on a Wednesday afternoon. Despite being busier than I expected, it wasn't overwhelmingly crowded. This wasn't my first visit, and it's always a great low-key spot for brunch, lunch, or dinner. Located on the border of Detroit and Grosse Pointe, the restaurant has a good-sized space and a private parking lot, so street parking isn't necessary. The service was quick in getting my food out, but my waitress only checked on me a few times. For example, when I was ready for the bill, it took a little longer than expected for her to return. I even thought she might have finished her shift and someone else had taken over. Nonetheless, it wasn't a major issue that would deter me from returning. I ordered a Sprite and water, an appetizer of spinach dip, and a pulled pork sandwich as my main course. The spinach dip was delicious, earning a 4/5, and came with real pita bread chips instead of the usual thin ones. The pulled pork sandwich was also a 4/5; it was a bit spicy, but I didn't mind that. Gratuity is included on every bill, which was fine with me as a solo diner. My total came to about $30. The environment is cool and not too loud, though the tables are a bit close together. Overall, I had a good experience and would return. I recommend Alma Kitchen if you're in the area. Rating:

BE AWARE! They AUTOMATICALLY charge a 20% gratuity on all meals!!! While the food was okay, charging gratuity without first notifying the customers is a sleazy practice.

Wow... just wow. What a great spot. They have a mostly South American menu but there is a great variety. I went out of my comfort zone and got the loco moco and I was very impressed. The portion was generous, the egg was cooked perfectly, and the flavors were fantastic. I was also really impressed with the Korean chicken wings (the side of kimchi was a nice touch) and the chicken satay had a beautiful presentation and taste. Service was very friendly and efficient. I would definitely recommend this spot!!!

Made a reservation, but we still had to wait for a table. It was not a busy time of day. The waitress was nice, but not detail oriented. We didn't have silverware or napkins. She needs training. Anyway the shrimp and grits were very tasty as was the beef stir fry. No regrets on the meal choices. In theory the desert sounded good, but was not. The apple pie and carrot cake are not very good and my spouse felt ill after eating it. I like the concept of this place . Will try other options next time, but no desserts.

We've been by here a bunch of times and today we finally had time to try it and it exceeded all expectations. Clean, a bit modern decor with some excellent art outside and inside. All the staff was super friendly, came by multiple times to make sure we didn't need anything and that the food was good. I'll start with drinks, the spicy Bloody Mary was excellent balance of flavors and the coffee was a medium to dark roast very wonderful flavor, loved it was served with the little cup of creamer. We got the fried chicken lollipop(wings) had an excellent crunch with with an excellent sweet/spicy/tangy sauce, I would say the heat level is probably mild plus to medium as far as heat level. Wasn't sure what to expect with the churro donuts but they truly were a churro donut, the crunchy outside and soft pillowy inside nicely dusted with cinnamon and sugar and a freshly made caramel sauce not a sauce from a jar. My husband got the Loco Moco which I got to try a little and the brown gravy is amazing, could probably put that on anything. Loved the Chicken Chilaquiles kind of breakfast nacho for anyone who hasn't had Chilaquiles. You can tell they make all the components themselves, had such wonderful flavor. I think I would prefer some over easy eggs with the Chilaquiles but they were still really excellent.

I had lunch here about a week ago with some friends. They frequent this spot quite often but it was my first time. Nice ambiance. Dope layout and design of the restaurant. This would have to be a nice place to have a party or small get-together. The menu consist mostly of bar food. I ordered the chicken sandwich which was ok. It comes with a side of fries. I also ordered the shrimp/crap Rangoons as an appetizer. I really did not like the rangoons. The filling was really good but the outside was kind of soggy. I would retry the restaurant to check out the brunch menu as well.

Always a favorite! Great food and good service. I love the variety of dishes and generous portions.

Alma Kitchen does it right. The menu is a mash up between Asian fare and Mexican fare. Everything I've had to this point is good or better than good. The fried rice and chicken sandwich are my personal favorites. It's my favorite neighborhood restaurant. Bonus: It's family owned and operated.

The food is very good. I love the spinach and artichoke dip and rib appetizer best, location has free accessible parking.

We had a good dinner here. We started first with a mixed salad, which was very nice and then I had the pasta with the vodka sauce. It was absolutely delicious. Others got the lomo salto, chilaquiles, and curry chicken. Everyone liked their food! Decent service and nice ambience.

Love this place. Always consistent. Favorites are the Sliced Beef Tenderloin, Asian Black Pepper Shrimp and Pepper Beef Lomo. Danielle behind the bar is always a pleasure.

This place is such a hidden gem. It's great for literally every meal with brunch options, regular lunch, or dinner. I love how the menu features cuisine from all over the world, with chicken satay, lomo saltado, korean wings, etc. I've had a ton of their menu and like to try out different things and everything I've had has been great. They have insanely large portions and great prices. It's usually not busy either, so you can typically just walk in and get seated. It's a really nice interior with the garage door that sometimes is open, depending on the weather, and lots of parking in the vicinity. Definitely recommend and I always bring my friends here if they haven't been before!

All I can say is OMG this place is great. I was in town for the weekend and went there twice! The menu is so unique and offers options for every palate. So much variety you could eat there every day and never get tire of it. Wish I lived closer

OMG you need to try this place if in the area! The food was delicious, I got the chicken and waffles. The chicken had the perfect seasoning in the breading, the waffles were nice and sweet but not too sweet yumm. The wait staff were nice and very patient. The restaurant had some of those garage doors that can open when it's warm out it seems. The fries also- so good!!! I can't believe it. You need to try!

We went here for dinner. The food was alright. The lollipop chicken appetizer was the best thing we got. The stuffed Salmon and beef tenderloin was mediocre. Our waitress only came once to check on us and when we were ready to leave it took forever to get our bill and pay. The decor is very cool though and I loved the booths. I just wish our waitress was more attentive.

Again, Alma's Kitchen didn't let me down! The service was fast and on point! They were able to accommodate my friend who doesn't like sauce on her shrimp and grits. The food is always amazing at a good price! The ambience is a chilled welcoming vibe! Hats off to the owner!!!

Ambiance- I love the decor inside this restaurant. Very unique pieces all over to look at while you're waiting. Food- we ordered the spinach dip for an appetizer, and the pita chips that came with it were good but the dip was lacking taste. A few of us ordered the sliders and the meat was thick and was just ok. Also, a chicken Parmesan salad was ordered and the chicken was gross and looked old and the person who ordered this in our party took it off her salad and did not eat it. We had two kids in our party who ordered chicken and fries and the fries were tasty. The kids enjoyed their ice cream treat after their meal that I asked the server for due to it being mentioned on the menu. Service- the waitress was nice, but I felt like in the beginning it took a little longer for her to take our order and it wasn't busy. They do add gratuity to all bills which I don't mind that much. I probably won't go back, but glad we tried it after driving by many times.

I always enjoy trying new restaurants to get something different than my usual go-tos. I was told that Alma Kitchen was a Mexican restaurant so picked it when I was up for Mexican, however there are at least 3 cultures of food offered. Theres Korean, Mexican, BBQ/American, and a few pasta dishes. Given, I was told inaccurate information, but the menu feels like it has a lot going on and no clear direction. Going on a Sunday afternoon around 4, the place was nearly empty which was fine by us. Once seated, I did look them up to see photos of the dishes and noticed where google said they were closed when they weren't so that may have something to do with it being empty. Upon entering, we were greeted by a friendly woman who also was the one who served our table. The layout is open, with an industrial style and modern look and feel. There are booths, high tops, low tops, and patio seating available. We ordered a spinach artichoke dip appetizer which came with fried pitas. The dip was really good, we got more pitas than we had dip for but thats not too unusual. My boyfriend said the pitas reminded him of crab rangoon shells, I don't eat seafood so I can not confirm lol! The dip itself was creamy and well seasoned but not too cheesy or stringy which is ideal! As a main, I ordered the MI Son burrito. It came with tortilla chips on the side. Personally, the chips seemed stale as they were a little chewy. The burrito was good but greasy. Inside are french fries, rice, beef, corn, peppers, and cheese. It comes with a green salsa on the side. I wish I could explain the burrito more than greasy, but it did not have a specific flavor from any seasonings or infredients so it was a little forgettable. The green salsa on the side was fresh, perfect amount of spicy, and added a brightness to the burrito. It reminded me of salsa my grandparents used to make. The churro donut sundae was a tasty way to end the meal! The donuts were hot and crisp yet airy, the ice cream paired well, I just wish there was 2 scoops of ice cream vs the one scoop with a bunch of whipped cream, but that's just my personal preference. When we got the bill, we were pleasantly surprised by the prices. They were very fair for what we ordered, and not like other modern restaurants where it's something like $22 base price. Our entrees were about $12 or $13 and the dessert was about $6, and a tall beer was around $5.50. While I would probably return to Alma Kitchen, it's not somewhere I'm craving and need to go back for right away.

This place is soooooo good! I love the chicken parm vodka sauce! The Chicken with mushroom pasta is great too!

We visited on Valentines Day. Great space and food was good. Flatbread was a little sweet but expected from menu description. Sat quickly. Had someone meeting us a little later and waitress timed his order so he was served his meal a few minutes after his arrival.

I'll give the food itself 9/10, the service was slightly poor we waited around for a very long time to be seated, a long time to get our orders, whenever our server remembered she had our table she was nice and had a good attitude. I think she was overwhelmed with something else because we were the only table there.

Nice decor and ambiance! A little dark in some areas but we went during the day, so I'm guessing it's romantic in the evening. We had reservations and we were seated immediately. We skipped the appetizers and I ordered the Shrimp & Kimchi fried rice. The food portions were generous and delicious. It was a little on the salty side but it didn't stop me from eating the entire bowl. My wife ordered some wine and the Peanut Curry chicken with rice, which was absolutely delicious! Already full, we shared the brownie with ice cream and white mocha chocolate drizzle. We couldn't finish it but it was sweet, rich and delicious! Due to the garage door-style bay windows and concrete floors, the noise level quickly became distracting, ranging from tolerable to obnoxious at times. Overall, good experience. We will likely return to try another of their diverse dishes. Actually, the variety of dishes on the menu, from Thai to Mexican to Korean to Italian, I consider is a bonus rather than a disadvantage.

Danielle, the bartender, is always friendly and makes delicious cocktails. The food is always delicious and I even enjoyed the the seafood crepes and I hate salmon ( but not in these!!)

So I have never seen or heard of this place. This was my first time going so I was excited to see what they had to offer. I didn't know what kind of establishment it was, but the reviews all looked good. I was going to order takeout, so I called ahead to place an order... the only issue is that they didn't answer the phone and I called twice. So I got there and it was empty. Not one person in the place eating so I was skeptical. It was a nice interior and I can tell the vibe was very laid back. I was greeted upon entering and the staff was very friendly. I ended up ordering the Stuffed Salmon and the Crab Rangoon. The wait was about 20 mins for my food. The stuffed salmon was on a bed of orzo with butternut squash. It was stuffed with crab, brie, and a lemon butter sauce. The flavor combinations were amazing. The Crab Rangoon came with a sweet chili doing sauce as well. Everything came out very hot and delicious. I will be visiting food place again when I'm in the area.

I always have a good experience here. The food is great and it's a cute place. I need to come by when I am not working so I can try the cocktails, they sound amazing. This is hands down my favorite place for chicken tortilla soup! Great job!!

Parking for business is ample and well lit. The ambience inside is very inviting with a good amount of seating area. Have a nice bar with seating as well. Unfortunately, the staff (waiter and others) was poor which gave us an overall negative feeling about the restaurant. My wife almost slipped on the the floor as we walked to our table. Some type of greasy substance was on floor near kitchen entrance which we told the staff about as we walked to our table to address. Unfortunately, the floor was never addressed. Our waiter was very slow and lacked attention to detail. Had to ask repeatedly for water refills, clear empty plates, etc. Ordered a couple of the signature cocktails which were very good. For dinner I ordered the stuffed salmon which I highly recommend. Stuffed with crab and shrimp on a bed of orzo with butternut squash was very good.

Love them!! So friendly, good food, fusion Latin and Asian. Reminds me of San Francisco or some other bigger city. I feel comfortable as a woman going solo.

Food is good. No spoon or stirrer to stir my coffee. They automatically add their own amount of gratuity. Not mentioned anywhere. Somewhere between 15-20 %

My husband and I don't live in the area, so we searched for recommendations on Yelp. The location is easy to find. Parking is somewhat challenging. We parked on the street. It's very modern in architecture and minimalist in design. They had one server who did triple duty as host, server and bartender. Prices were expensive in my opinion. Small portions but very well presented. My husband got a sirachi bowl with fried rice. The rice had plenty of egg in it and was delicious. I got a salad with sliced beef tenderloin. I'd ordered medium but it was cooked more like medium well. Very tasty and soft. This place looked like a trendy place for the locals. It had a fair amount of people eating when we went there. One table was having a business meeting. They don't rush you, so that's always good. We probably won't be back because it's a 45 minutes from where we live. We do recommend it.

Great food and friendly staff. The decor is little dark for me, but the quality transcends that!

Very good food for the money . They have a very creative menu and it won't break the bank as you won't go away hungry . They have a very good brunch and the service and ambience where above average .

What a special place! We use to live in GP & went to Tom's Oyster Bar a bunch. What an exciting change!!! The Menu is diverse & unique - if you can't find something here - just stay home. The service was exceptional and the food was 5star all the way. Just go -

Great food, great prices, helpful staff and the restaurant was very clean. If you haven't been here give them a try it's really really worth it

Alma is an overall solid restaurant, plain and simple. There are a wide range of options on their menu. Everything I've tried so far has been somewhere between above average to amazing. Most restaurants I go to, I'm inclined to play it safe by ordering a dish I'm familiar with. You don't have to do that here. Also, their pricing is more than fair. Easily one of my favorite restaurants the Grosse Pointes have to offer.

Favorite restaurant in Grosse Pointe. The food is always fresh and flavorful. Excellent service. Also it is nice to be at a restaurant that isn't too loud!

This place is a must try! I'm telling you I could not stop eating this spinach and artichoke dip! I also really enjoyed my Loco Moco!

I was extremely impressed with Alma Kitchen... the choices (ranged from chicken n waffles, to Asian pepper shrimp to stuffed salmon) the prices (nothing above 25 bucks) the desert options (upside down apple pie, carrot cake and churro sundaes)! I thought the quality of the food might not be that good because of the prices, but a friend and I tried the salmon, chicken lollipops, and the upside down apple pie... we cleaned the plates! I promise it tastes better than the quality of the pics I took! I'm not sure how much the drinks we had were and they don't list them on the website, but they seemed low priced as well. I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy if you go.

I love this restaurant. I have been twice with friends the food is great My friends loved it too. The portions are large big enough to share. I have had the Salmon Frittata which has an interesting lineup of ingredients that sound like they don't belong together but they are very tasty . Today I had the Salmon burger that comes with fries. The burger was thick moist with a bit of a bite. Fresh and clearly homemade. It is one of the best I have had. I am a bit of a salmon burger snob and may judge a place based upon their success.The service is great and the food is hot. Prices are very good. Wine 7 and it was not happy hour! The meals are also priced well. The restaurant has two patios and a garage door to open to the inside. I think it is a very pretty restaurant inside with a very calm demeanor. They are closed on Mondays. Otherwise they are open daily . They have a very interesting menu. I gave yet to go in the evening but you can get brunch until 3 .

Food is good, but a complete turn off is an automatic 20% gratuity added to the bill. I will not return until this policy is changed, I refuse to patronize a place that forces a set tip. I always tip generously and find forced tipping a complete turn off.

The site of this restaurant is where big Bob, Bashsara owned the building before it was knocked down, dungeon and all. Their honey tamarind chicken lollipops sound good, as well as their peanut chicken salad, chicken Chilaquiles and chicken satay too. I must be hungry. They are open for dine-in and have the bar open as well. It's a decent sized space. I came here with my husband and my parents for a Saturday night takeout. My parents are still not keen on eating out despite. We ordered online since no one is answering the call for orders. We ordered the honey tamarind chicken lollipops, Brutus chicken hash, BBQ pulled pork sandwich with apple slaw, curry coconut chicken, peanut chicken salad and an upside down apple pie. Bill total is $62.53. We were able to pay online. Food order takes about a half hour to make. I arrived shortly after the 35 minute mark. Food is not ready. Be sure to add an additional 25 minutes or so to your order. We had 6 items on our order. Food was finally done an hour and 10 minutes later, very irritating to say the least, since their online order estimate clearly said 30 minutes for the order to be ready to be picked up. The woman behind the front counters are taking orders over the phone. She's busy seating guests when she should be telling the kitchen to get my order out ASAP. The peanut chicken salad was okay, not so peanuty and not super flavorful. The pulled pork might have been better, but it was too spicy for either of my parents. My mother had to eat hers with a glass of milk. The Brutus chicken hash was good for my parents . The curry chicken was spicy and decent. The honey tamarind lollipops were okay, rather fatty and the sauce was too spicy for either of my parents. The upside down apple pie was both good for my parents, they said it was tasty.

Yelpers delivered. It's fun to get interesting "unclaimed" finds with high reviews. So, we came. We saw. We chowed. All things were on point: elegant decor, inviting, clean, attentive service, delightsome seafood crepes (RICH, creamy, oh-so-filling) and parm chicken salad (huge, fresh, tangy white balsamic dressing), and spotless, stocked loos. We'll be back.
