I met my friend and his wife at this Middle Eastern eatery for lunch while I was in town. The…read moreSheikh Restaurant is located in a middle suite of a narrow Canton Township strip mall. Parking spaces were ample as the neighboring businesses weren't busy at all during this holiday week. The inside was not ornately decorated as some of the fancier places in the area that serve this type of cuisine. Between the booths and tables, my estimate was that the seating capacity was around 50 customers. The menu booklet contained several pages of offerings across the categories of appetizers, soups, salads, sides, wraps/subs, traditional dishes, and seafood/chops. For beverages, there were juices, smoothies, coffee, tea, and soft drinks. My friends each chose a different type of wrap for their meal. I picked one of the entrees from the traditional dishes which was the Gallaba over Hummus. In my hometown, I don't see gallaba as often as items like shish kabobs and shawarma. My order consisted of a choice of meat (lamb was my pick) sauteed with green peppers, onions, tomatoes, mushrooms, and carrots with special spices added. The mixture was served on a bed of hummus with my choice of rice on the side. A cup of chicken rice soup (instead of lentil) also came with this traditional dish. While we were waiting for our food, a basket of warm pita bread and a cup of garlic spread were provided. The spread was very pungent so I used it sparingly. An extra dinner salad was mistakenly added which I saved for leftovers. The gallaba was essentially a Middle Eastern version of a meat stir fry. The pieces of lamb were tender and not gamey. The spices added flavor but not saltiness. Between the bread, soup, rice, and gallaba, it was a generous portion size that also became leftovers for later. For the quality and price of my meal, I gave a four star rating for our visit to The Sheikh Restaurant.

Supposedly freshly baked but our bag of 12 were all burnt pucks. Would have made a good sub if a hockey game broke out. Overall we are figuring out what we like and will def be back. Hopefully they figure out the pita problem.

It was not edible at all. The rice that came with the entree was also hard and clearly not fresh. I called and spoke to one of the workers and he was very nice and apologetic. He offered to have it remade but I was heading to work so I didn't have time to go pick up another order so I asked for a refund. He said he couldn't do a refund without the owners permission and put me on hold to talk to him. I talked to the owner and explained the situation and he told me "I'll take care of you next time". I asked for a refund and his tone changed and he said "ok bring the food back in". I said I'm literally on my way to work and he said ok bring the food back after work. I said I can bring the food back tomorrow because they will be closed by the time I get off work and he said ok. At that point it was not only a waste of my money but also a waste of my time. So after I hung up I decided I'll just write a review and they can see a picture of the food because I'm not wasting my time driving back for them to believe me that they served poor quality food. I will definitely not be returning and I do not recommend this place.

Sarah walked me through the menu and showed me some of the more popular items and how to eat them. The food! I ordered the Fatteh with meat and the spicy potatoes. It was just me and this was a lot of food. There was pita and assorted pickled veggies served as well. Every bite was like a flavor bomb. So good, so delicious. I loved the seasoning, spices, and texture. I would order these items again but next time I will have to try some new things. So many things to choose from. Service was great. Sarah was helpful since it was my first time here. She encouraged me to try some of their more popular items but also explained other options on the menu for now or next time. There is a good amount of seating. And everything was clean. As far as location goes, it's in a great spot right on Inkster Rd. Whether you're in the neighborhood, driving through, or coming from the hospital, this is an easy spot to get to with easy parking out front. Al Tayeb gives you a great taste of Lebanese food and flavors right in your backyard. I will come here again and bring friends.
