Beirut Restaurant

We had a long layover, and we wanted to try something different than just airport food, so we Googled the nearest restaurants and we found this jewel of a place! Everything was absolutely delicious. I remember it just started snowing, so we ordered the Crushed Lentils, and I can say it’s one of the best bowls of soup I’ve ever had! We also had Hummus with Lamb Shawarma, and it was beyond amazing! As well as the Falafel. The service was great. We recommend this restaurant without a doubt.

5 stars all the way. The food was delicious. Service was great. The atmosphere was really middle eastern theme. I have the mixed grill with a tabuli Stalad. The salad was perfect and It wasn't overpowering with citrus like a lot of restaurants tend to do. If you feel like kabobs this is your place. Kamat was very well marinated, moist and cooked perfectly. The prices are really reasonable for the amount of and quality of food you get. I will definitely come back here when I'm traveling to Detroit..

Loved the music playing in the background. Restaurant is really cute. Clean as well. Service was great. Servers were excellent. The food was spectacular! This was my first experience with Lebanese food and it is top tier. 100% would recommend and will absolutely be returning when in town! Had the Beirut Platter for 2 with babba ganoush, rice & Fattouch, Turkish coffee and incredible pistachio baklava. SO GOOD.

We had a long travel day and were starving when we landed. I googled restaurants near the airport and found the Beirut Restaurant. Dinner was absolutely delicious. We ordered the babaganoush, the chicken kafta and shish kabob entrees. Dinner comes with rice or fries, salad or soup. Portions were huge and service was excellent. Everything was so delicious!

Absolutely love this place! The food is AMAZING! The staff are so very nice and welcoming! Would definitely be back!

We stayed just up the road from here why in town for my Husband’s business trip and decided to stop for Dinner . So happy we did . Food was delicious and the service was great . Will definitely be back next time in town .

This place is amazing! And not just the food… The family owned atmosphere and the people running it our amazing. While I was waiting for my takeout order, I started talking to the two owners, their two adult sons, whowho were all having dinner… I commented how good their homemade chicken wings smelled and looked. Before I knew it, I was being forced to eat their chicken wings, dates, and the specialty drink that they were having for their dinner. I can’t wait to go back! The food is so good and the people were better.

Oh my I’ve been wanting to try here my last 3 trips to the airport, this time I finally could. Such a disappointment, service was slow if any, meal took 30 minutes, appetizer took 35 minutes.. little backwards. The Kafta tastes like ground beef and half a pound of salt. Falafel is burnt and taste like stuffing for Thanksgiving.

I visited the restaurant with family after we left the Detroit airport. The staff was so friendly and helpful. They allowed me to sample a few dishes I was unfamiliar with prior to ordering. The food was delicious especially the baba ganoush and the baklava! Thanks for a great experience (better than Brooklyn any day )

For a small restaurant located in a strip mall, this place is a must stop! Whenever we are flying into/out of Detroit Metro Airport this is definitely the most important stop. The food is delicious and very true to style. The staff is always friendly and attentive. Whether you dine in, get take out or have it delivered, you will be happy you didn't miss this culinary delight!!

Great service and authentic food. We stopped in for dinner and our server was funny, knowledgeable, prompt, and attentive. She recommended a platter for two with a cup of lamb soup which fit the occasion perfectly. Many seats were full but the dining area was not noisy. Even with several tables our server took the time to regularly check on us and serve different options. Servers from other tables would collect finished dishes and such for our table very unobtrusively. The value was great and the food was very authentic. Nothing was overpowering but all of the seasoning was appropriately bold. I cannot recommend this place enough. If you are near the airport stop I for dinner. You won't regret it.

Amazing! One of my favorite to go places near the airport. Great place for a good meal before or between connecting flights. Nice hot meal. Get Turkish coffee, it's sublime!

Went here after seeing good reviews on yelp, and the reviews were well founded. Larger party but service was attentive, polite, and quick. Food was spectacular and plentiful. Ambience casual. Would recommend!

We made a spur of the moment decision to stop in for an early dinner. We picked some seats at the bar. The bartender was very nice and he hustled. We ordered the raw lamb kibbi to start and it was delicious! Drinks were always full and entrees came out right on time. A nice clean, friendly experience! The Beirut for the win again!

Man great place for middle eastern cuisine!! I had the appetizer plate and the mixed shwarma. It was WAY too much food for one person! I had leftovers for breakfast the next day and still didn't finish it. There is seating inside but not a ton - probably 8 booths and 4 tables in the middle?? Very quick service. Kind of abrupt to be honest if you ask me but whatever I can be quite direct when I feel like it and am not always in the mood for chit chat so it's all good. Delicious food more than makes up for it. App platter had baba ganoush and hummus - both were good but baba ganoush was better. Had a nice little spicy kick. Shawarma came with a nice zippy garlic sauce as well.

I've been here many times for years and service is always good. The last 2 times I came I was quite disappointed with how long it took. I called the order in, waited over 15 minutes before getting there then had to wait another 15 minutes and the food was not even hot when I got it. The food was not as good as it used to be in my opinion.

First time eating here and I have to say this place is really good! I had the chicken shawarma and they give you a lot! I took it home and had a whole second meal the next day lol. I believe it's family owned and everyone there is so nice and welcoming. Forsure will come back when I'm in the area

I'm in this area often for work and try to come here as much as possible. The food is 10 out of 10! The staff is also super helpful and sweet. Can't go wrong with anything here.

We had almost everything on the menu, very full and satisfied. We had to pack food home, and couldn't wait to enjoy the leftover when our stomachs would be empty again. The food here are authentic and made with love. Highly recommend the baba ganoush here, tasty with smooth texture. The baklava tray is amazing. Totally worth it with the Turkish coffee.

What an amazing little restaurant tucked in a strip mall. If you enjoy Mediterranean type cuisine and extremely friendly service, this might be your type of place. I came here for lunch because of two factors, 1 it's close to the hotels and 2 the Yelp reviews. Let's start with the service. I was greeted with a welcoming attitude which continued throughout the dining experience. I asked for recommendations and was directed to the sandwiches and/or salads. I got the mixed beef/chicken shawarma which was grilled in wrap and had a nice mixture of meat to vegetable ratio. Next time I would ask to go easy on the pickles but that's just a personal preference. For a side I was told I could get any salad as a side salad, so I chose the Greek salad. It was HUGE and delicious. I can't recommend this place enough. Next time I'm in the area, I'll definitely be back.

Listen! If you haven't been to this hidden gen in ROMULUS you're missing out on some AWESOME food!!! GENERIUS PORTIONS and I had plenty to eat and take home. Customer service was AMAZING and the ambiance is family friendly. Depending on the time of day (dinner), I'm glad my party of 4 got in when we did. All of a sudden the line was out the door for dine in and carry out. Give them a try if in the area. You will not be disappointed!

Food is always A1 here. Been coming for years. The service is also A1. The men and women here work hard at making sure each dish is on point.

One of my favorite middle eastern restaurants. My wife and I go here maybe 2-3 times a month. I love the fried Kibbeh, the hummus and the shish tawook. Staff is friend and the place is clean. I highly recommend.

My go to when getting picked up from the airport and I have a hunger from a day of travel. Their garlic sauce is out of this world! I also really like the mujadra, the portion size is massive and I sub tahini for the yogurt to make it vegan. They do a lot of carry out especially in the evenings it can get hectic, but the servers do their best to be attentive to dine in customers. The walls have murals and they have a tv that plays music videos. Place is clean. Free parking lot, just look out for pot holes.

I am super picky about my lemon rice soup, and their's is delicious. Great, friendly staff.

Always a good choice! I have never had a bad experience or food that was not delicious. Portion sizes are nice and excellent service.

I have been coming here for years, on my way to and from DTW as it is just outside the airport. The food, especially the shawarma, rice, and fattoush with homemade feta is always hot, fresh, and wonderful, with excellent flatbread accompanying. Service is friendly and usually efficient. Highly recommended!

Everyone is so very nice. I try stop here every time I visit Detroit. The food is delicious and fresh

This was by far the best middle eastern food I have ever eaten. Wow! It was that good! Just around the corner from my hotel, I stumbled upon Beirut Restaurant during an overnight stay near the airport. The decor and interior is nothing fancy. No one is going there for the ambiance, and I kind of questioned my decision as I sat down. However, the waitress (I believe the owner) was personable and explained that everything is freshly made, etc. She was serious about the food and it's preparation. She also suggested a few items. I had the hummus with salmon. Sounded a bit odd but it was fantastic! The baba ganoush was perfect- smokey and super creamy. The falafel (served in a salad) was unlike any falafel I've every had. It had a hint of lemon and a unique blend of spices. Yet the best thing I had (at the servers recommendation) was the potato and cauliflower sandwich (a wrap). The "wrap" was a thin pita like dough, crunchy and warm. I'm not sure exactly what was inside other than the cauliflower and potato listed on the menu, but whatever it was set a new bar for all sandwiches I will consume moving forward. What a surprise the Beirut Restaurant was! I'm thinking about booking a flight to Detroit just to go there again ;)

I stayed in a hotel nearby and got takeout both nights I was in town. I would love to have a restaurant like this near me. Great salad, chicken shawarma, pitas. Huge servings.

I have been coming to this restaurant for years. It is the best Lebanese restaurant that I have tried. The food amazing. They are friendly and fast. Clean and relaxed atmosphere. I will continue to come here for years to come.

Wow, what a great find! Just flew into Detroit and needed a good meal. A quick three minute drive will transport you to the best meal. Everything here is super fresh and so well prepared. Its a family place that is run with love and pride. The food is authentic and amazing. I've never had hummus so creamy. And don't get me started on the lamb. So good! This is a very popular place with a steady stream of takeout orders. The place is super clean and the decor is cute and comfortable. I absolutely loved the lady working here when we came. She was like a mom who wanted to be sure everything was running smooth and everyone was comfortable. The rest of the crew seems tight knit and friendly. Thank you for a great experience. We'll be back!

One bite in and I had to immediately stop and head to yelp. The food is so good and large portions. The chicken shawarma was cooked and seasoned to perfection and don't get me started on the bed of hummus... creamy tasty flavor that I can't get enough of. Paired together with the soft white rice and crunch of the peanut this is definitely something I would recommend to all flight crew I come across on their layover. The salad was also amazing. Not too much dressing and the fresh veggies speak for themselves. I am pleasantly satisfied. Now let's talk about service. I wish I asked for names because everyone was so kind I was greeted with a warm welcome and the person that took our orders were so kind and patient with us sharing his favorite recommendations. Even how everyone interacted with one another was so sweet to watch. I took my food Togo but next time I'll dine in! The ambiance was cozy and felt like home. Definitely a must try!!!

Moved to Michigan so you have to try to local favorite. Got fried kibbeh, toum (garlic sauce), shish tawook sandwich and shish kebab sandwich. Overall fast service. Food 10/10 everything was delicious. Overall we had a great experience with takeout Ps: sorry for the spelling guys

The Chicken shawarma was SO tender and the hummus was so creamy. The lemon rice soup was amazing!! I really enjoyed my dinner. However, the 3% credit card charge should be transparent on the bill. The gentleman in charge was very accommodating and super nice through it all.

Hidden gem near the airport. Mama Beirut will take care of you like family. Some of the best hummus and shawarma I've ever had. I will be stopping in anytime I am able, so should you. Don't sleep on this place.

This is a great local spot if you're traveling through the area. The food was incredibly fresh, flavorful and all certified Halal if that's within your dietary needs. Mama Beirut (as she's referred to in other posts) is hilarious and runs the store with care and attention to detail. Listen to her recommendations as she helped me pick out a perfect meal. Get the lentil soup!

The food here is amazing, but the service is always slow and rude... today's version included charging whatever price they came up with at will even after showing them the menu advertised price and doing the tax math for them.... Horrible business practices...

Just ordered the shawarma combo and garlic. Didn't supply any pita with the order. Flavor wasn't my favorite. Went because of the good reviews.

Visiting from Florida and it was nice to have fresh cook food right by the airport that was not a fast food chain. The food and customer service is top notch.

First time visiting Beirut restaurant. We stay in the area hotels often and decided to give it a try. We all agree that everything was great. Very tasty food, fresh and plenty. They have a variety in the menu. The server was informative on menu items and questions we had. Great ambiance and relaxed setting. Definitely is a come Back place. Thanks Beirut restaurant.

I ordered the Shish Tawouk with rice and hummus. The chicken was tender and tasty. The toum added just the right amount of garlic flavor to the meal! The rice was also tender and the pine nuts added a nice crunch. The hummus though... it was some of the best I have ever had anywhere. It was SO creamy and smooth. I could eat it with a spoon. The service was prompt and friendly. The place was super busy with walk ins and to-go orders. Sounded like a lot of regulars come here based on the conversation. This is a new go to for me!

Love this family owned restaurant! Some of the reviews are hit and miss, but I enjoyed it! My food was on point and they had many vegetarian options plus a ton of options for everyone else. The service was a little slow because it was so busy in there with only two people running around getting everyone's food and drinks. It was worth the wait for the food though. The prices are great as well! I bought something to eat in house then ordered something to go for later. It's really that good! I will say depending on what time you go the lines may be out the door to sit down and get a table, but they always do to go orders and are quick. The ambience isn't fancy, but you really are coming to just eat great food then go home. Also they don't sell any beer, wine or liquor so that's just a tip. Overall I'll be back to try this amazing food anytime I'm in DTW!!

I've been coming to this restaurant for probably 10 years. Every time I'm in Detroit I make a point to come here. There's a lot of love put into this food. The Shawarma, the baba ghanoush, the lamb, all delicious with a home cooked taste.

First the folks who run this wonderful restaurant are extremely helpful and accommodating. Thank you for your recommendations. The food you suggested was some of the best Mediterranean food I've had in a while and I can't wait to return. Chicken wings are my favorite and when you experience the wings at Beirut the way the fine people who work here recommend; with extra sauce over rice, you cannot go wrong.

This is our second time ordering from them. We ordered 2 party trays for a pre-wedding party. Once again the food was fresh, tasty and authentic. Our guests were impressed with the flavors, variety of selections and the quantity of food. The staff are friendly and helpful. We will continue to highly recommend the restaurant. Even though it is not in our neighborhood, it is worth the drive. Excellent!!

I wasn't terribly hungry so I got an appetizer, the hummus with lamb shawarma, to go. It was definitely a sharing appetizer, and I couldn't finish it. The hummus was good, always has been here, and the lamb had good flavor, but unfortunately it was a little dry, and not as tender as I thought it would be. I have eaten here before, and have never been disappointed. The portions are sizable and flavors are heavenly. I'll try something else next time.

Their chicken shawarma is great. Salad are good. I would recommend it if you are around DTW.

This is my 100% go to lunch. Salads are awesome. Turkish coffee is delicious Staff is wonderful

Good food & great service I love this place, one of my daughter's fave's as well. Great smoothies, very clean quiet and peaceful

Got a lot of takeout food. I got the mixed shwarma with rice and salad. Absolutely terrific. The hummus and pita absolutely amazing. I sampled the baklava. Absolutely the best I've ever had. Can't wait to get it again!

This is my 2nd review in a week for this place. We stayed in the hotel right beside where Beirut is located. This time, we decided to dine in since the food we had for takeout the night before was very good. When we came in, we were greeted by an elderly woman (whom I assume was like the mama or owner of the restaurant) she told us to seat anywhere we like and she will be with us to take our orders. We told her we ordered the night before and that we would love to have the same. She brought us delicious salad with lots of grated feta cheese for toppings, and a bowl of soup that's sweet and savory and just comforting for the soul. Mama Beirut (as my husband and I called her) was so warm and welcoming and hospitable, she keeps tending to us and asking us if everything was good. We told her this was my birthday dinner and so she told her crew about it and after dinner they brought us a scrumptious complimentary dessert. The baklava was rich but not too sweet, just perfect for dessert after a hearty meal.. and the rice pudding, it is soooo yummy, so creamy and just sweet enough for my liking. From the food, the excellent service and even the very homey ambiance, I'd give this place 10 stars if Yelp would allow me. This is such a hidden gem and we were just very lucky to have stumbled upon it. Thank you Mama Beirut for making our last dinner in Romulus such an unforgettable one!

So glad I found this spot near my hotel in Romulus. On the night before UMichigan graduation day, we grabbed a seat. We ordered baba ghanouj, and I ordered hummus with galallaba (beef). The baba ghanouj was smooth and tasty, with a hint of smoke. The hummus galallaba was hearty with well-seasoned vegetables. I also enjoyed the fattouch side salad with crisp pita bread. The service was courteous and prompt. The television provided background music, but it was not too noisy for conversation. My one disappointment was that the table was not well cleaned before being set. I found a rag to wipe it, but missed an olive oil blot that soaked into my gift. My friend said that's pretty normal for Middle Eastern restaurants in the area, so I take the stain as another souvenir of a very tasty evening. If I find myself in the area again I would go back.

Hotel staff recommended Beirut. Yelp reviews were great so I ordered take out. The portions are huge. The mixed shawarma entree was enough for three people. The meat beef/chicken were a bit on the dry side for my liking. Coated with the garlic sauce it's much better. The house salad was the best, especially with the dressing and feta cheese. Baba ghanoush was very smooth with good flavor. May have been better if I dined in because the food just warm. Overall, great. Four stars.

Great for air travelers, Beruit Restaurant, is conveniently located close to DTW. After flying in from out of state, we ordered three meals and all three were wholesome and delicious. And the young woman running the restaurant the evening we visited was warmly delightful. We left the restaurant with smiles--well fed and well prepared to enjoy the rest of our long journey to visit family in Michigan, "Up North."

Absolutely delicious. Stopped here after flying into DTW. The food is completely fresh and tasted amazing. Our server was attentive and helpful. We ordered way too much and it lasted us lunch and dinner. Highly recommend! I loved the chicken, rice and veggies and hummus with veggies. So good.

I don't normally write reviews, but Juliana was potentially the best waitress we have ever had. This was one of our favorite resteraunts before we met her. Now, without question! Every restaurant needs a Juliana. Delicious food! 5/5 stars!
