Mabel Gray is designing a European-style wine cave; Fatima’s Grill is relocating out of Dearborn | Eater Detroit

"After making its Michigan debut in Dearborn in fall 2023, Los Angeles County Lebanese–Mexican sensation Fatima’s Grill is gearing up to relocate and will reopen in February at 27430 5 Mile Road in Livonia; ownership said the Dearborn location did not work out. Known for its Instagram-worthy Mexican–Lebanese fusion, the all-halal eatery is famed for Flamin’ Hot Cheetos-laced asada fries, halal shawarma platters, and birria crunchwraps. Since opening in 2016 in Downey the brand has expanded to franchises in Ditmas Park (Brooklyn) and Denton, Texas, with a location expected soon in Cleveland, and owner Ali Elreda—born in Detroit, raised in Los Angeles—has said he wants to expand into southeast Michigan in part to appeal to the sizable Muslim community that seeks halal food. Elreda developed a hot sauce recipe during his 2012 incarceration that became the Lebamex bottled hot sauce (available online and at Super Greenland Market and Hashems Roastery & Meat Market) after completing a six-year sentence in 2013." - Serena Maria Daniels

Los Angeles’s Wildly Popular Lebanese Mexican Restaurant Fatima’s Grill Is Opening in Dearborn | Eater Detroit

"One of Los Angeles County’s busiest restaurants with Lebanese-Mexican roots, this wildly popular chain is known for outrageous, colorful creations like Flamin’ Hot Cheetos-laced asada fries, halal shawarma platters, and birria crunchwraps. I report that founder Ali Elreda — who was born in Detroit and named the business after his daughter — started out with a halal meat market around 2014 in Bell with a small hot-food section, opened the first standalone spot in 2016 in Downey, and used Snapchat and Instagram to build a loyal following; today there are franchise locations in Montebello, Paramount, and Long Beach with planned outposts in downtown LA, Brooklyn, and Dearborn. I note the Dearborn expansion (address confirmed at 14600 Warren Ave.) makes sense given metro Detroit’s high demand for original, all-halal menus; Elreda says an opening date hasn’t been set but he’s hopeful to move quickly through health department approvals and emphasizes the need for more halal dining diversity given his family’s Muslim background." - Serena Maria Daniels

The food was fresh and flavorful, and the portion sizes were generous for the price. The staff was welcoming and attentive, making the experience enjoyable. Parking was easy, and the atmosphere felt cozy. Highly recommend trying their signature dish—it’s worth it!

The food looks great but I took 1 bite and tasted something spoiled. The smell wafted into my nose and I immediately started regurgtating! I had the triple threat burrito while my husband had the steak & shrimp fries. His food was very good. For the amount of $$$ spent, I was unable to enjoy the food or my night! My stomach was very sour from 1 bite!

Best birria I had in my life let alone the sauce alone . Like it was so good you can drink it usually it’s oily from other places . Worth EVERY dollar I’m still smile I ate 30 mins ago .

Hopped out the office with some coworkers for some hot food and Fatima's never disappoints! Had the birria crunch wrap, which blew away everything similar I've ever had. The Verde salsa will convert you from red to green!

Needed an impromptu meal for visiting guests, and decided to pick up food from Fatima's. First time trying it, and we were very pleased. The variety was great and everyone loved the food. We couldn't decide on Mexican or Middle Eastern, and this gave us both!

Friendly / helpful staff and delicious food! Guy behind the counter even helped bring an older gentleman’s food out to his car. So far I’ve had the tacos and now the mix shawarma / cheese fries. Food is really really good. Can’t wait to try more menu items.

I’ve been waiting for this place to open up in MI for YEARS since I first saw the cali location on insta and it did NOT disappoint! I got the surf/turf burrito with hot cheeto dust and my bf got a chicken crunchwrap & we got a bottle of Lebamex 🔥🔥🔥 The hot sauce was amazing ive never had anything like it & im taking it with me to thanksgiving 🤣 there were so many flavors and everything is made fresh to order as always advertised! I just had it 2 days ago & I’m going back today because it is just that good. The only issue with this place is im not rich enough to get everything & my stomach isn’t big enough to hold all of it! This location was previously in Dearborn but they were run out of town by some hateful people and another shop in Cali I believe was vandalized. These are some sweet people that care abt our community and serving good food. Please show them some love & respect & show them why they got it right to stay in MI! 🙏🏽❤️

Halal Lebanese-Mexican fusion restaurant located in a gas station. Very Casual ambience but the food is fire! We got the crunch chicken shawrma and the triple threat with birria instead of shrimp. Presentation of the food was great. Portions of sandwich are appropriate for price you're paying. Taste of the Birria meat was amazing. Highly recommend. definitely a place whose menu I want explore further. Service was friendly.

It's an eatery in a gas station, serving Mexican food to go, or they have a small seating area. I tried the steak-shrimp- fries and it was excellent. The crunchy burro was first rate. The service was friendly and professional. Food is made to order and it's fresh. Give this eatery a try! It's very good Mexican food.

Doordashed this and it's just perfect.Looking at the menu was so overwhelming because there's so much I wanted to try although most food looked really heavy and filling like the hot Cheetos burger which I'll definitely have to try after this . As someone who has moved back home after living in New York and was eating really good food, the taste of this actually impressed me. They gave me a good amount of consome, avocado salsa, and sour cream too. I will definitely try more items from here

The meat was so hard and dry I couldn't even chew it. There was barely any sauce and the food was overall not good. Terrible
