Lebanese eatery with patio dining, craft cocktails & fresh fare


























"Ferndale Lebanese restaurant Anita’s Kitchen serves up crispy chicken wings flavored with zip sauce. The restaurant includes plenty of creamy, mild feta for dipping and, of course, carrot sticks." - Serena Maria Daniels

"I didn't change my go-to of Anita's in Ferndale this year—it's one of my regular reliable spots." - Serena Maria Daniels

"Not only is Ferndale’s casual Lebanese eatery a great spot to indulge in a hummus plate and shawarma, but Anita’s Kitchen also doesn’t allow the elements to interfere with its patio. The outdoor seating area converts into an open air space in the warmer months and a heated, enclosed patio in the winter with added evening ambiance from string lights and lush potted plants." - Serena Maria Daniels


"The flagship, full-service Anita’s Kitchen in Ferndale features traditional Lebanese recipes, Michigan craft cocktails and beers, raw juices and smoothies, and patio dining. Start with an appetizer of hummus, baba ghannouge, falafel, or with lentil soup. The menu includes chicken and beef shawarma, gyros, and lamb burgers." - Monica Williams

"Founded nearly 38 years ago by Pierre and Anita Farah at the Tally Hall food court in Farmington Hills, Anita’s Kitchen began as a quick-service Lebanese spot before later expanding into full-service locations (including Troy and a Ferndale location that opened in 2008); the Farmington Hills and Troy locations have since closed. The restaurant is known for carryout-friendly items such as chicken shawarma, fattoush, and tabbouleh (offered gluten-free with quinoa), many recipes are naturally vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free, and carryout remains a major part of daily sales at the Ferndale location." - Brenna Houck
