We were in town visiting family and our group of 6 decided to have dinner at Alma Kitchen. It was excellent. Here is what we noticed: - Atmosphere is ok but a bit cavernous, not particularly comfy. - We started with cocktails. The Old Fashioned was a bit on the small side, but tasty! - My wife and I ordered both the Brutus Chicken Sandwich and the Roasted Poblano Quesadilla. While both were really tasty, the quesadilla won the contest for the best! - Service was great...attentive but not overbearing. - 20% gratuity was automatically added onto the bill. Bottom line: We would go back to Alma Kitchen anytime we're in the area. read more

Great food, doors open to beautiful weather - we ate late lunch luxuriously al fresco today! Chicken tortilla soup had excellent flavor. The walnut/bleu cheese salad hit the mark. I enjoyed the beef bibimpab, and the hubs enjoyed the loco moco. Both were fantastic in our opinions. We want to go back to try other menu items that were intriguing. Service was very friendly and warm. Note: 20% gratuity is included automatically, which they make certain to tell you beforehand. Marvelous! Will go back soon. read more

Alma kitchen is a bit of a difficult review for our experience. We went early evening and they were not busy, we were able to be seated right away. The menu is large and eclectic, which generally makes me nervous for the food. American, Asian, seafood...and Hawaiian. I was pleasantly surprised by how good my moco loco was, as good as I've had on the island. I had some of my friend's seafood crepe. It was interesting, I enjoyed a few bits, but would not order it. Our other friends enjoyed their bibimbap and stuffed salmon. The drinks were also good, though their cocktail list appeared to be from Christmas/winter. The interior is basic and modern, I did like that they have large doors that would open in warm weather. The only negative was the the service. Despite the restaurant not being busy we waited a long time for our food. Then we had to search for our server, who did not come back to check on us, to be able to pay. read more

I haven't been in months, but they are always consistent. I LOVE their shrimp & grits and wonton. I called in my order & still waited a couple minutes. They play music and it looks sleek, modern... with rustic touches. There's a parking lot right at the door. read more

We can so close to after brunch they allowed me to get the brunch waffles. It took a long time for our food. I really think only 2 people were working. Our server was nice and attentive. But the handful of people seemed overworked and it didn't seem busy. I'll maybe try them again on different day to see if the food is a bit better. Hubby liked the sliders. read more

This place gets a 4.5. Brunch is great. The decor is industrial, clean but could be prone to noisy. But the food is worth it. So was the service. Waitress was on it and took good care of us. We were there on a Sunday at opening so no crowd. Servers not stressed. We had omlettes and the Loco Moco. Omlettes huge and delicious. The Loco Moco was a beef patty (hamburger), sauce and onion strings and potatoes. So simple yet so delicious. have no problem ordering again. Tasted better than a burgers. A little more sophisticated but really good. My wife had a martini and loved it and I had a signature drink that was refreshing and tart. This was a very nice discovery and good value for the prices. We will be back. read more

Alma Kitchen is one of the best casual restaurants in the Grosse Pointes. The restaurant is beautiful, the service is good, and the food is excellent and flavorful. It's a good place to have lunch and dinner with friends. My menu favorites are the Stuffed Salmon and the Brutus Chicken Sandwich. There is free parking outside the restaurant and on the street. read more

Alma Kitchen is our go to place for Saturday and Sunday brunch, and sometimes dinner with the family. It's my favorite restaurant and, in my opinion, the best in the area. We were told that the owner is the chef who cooks every dish, and you can really taste the fresh ingredients in the food. We've never had a bad meal here. The service is always great and very welcoming, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality you get. I highly recommend it to everyone. If you haven't tried it yet, you're missing out read more

I love Alma. Their prices are fair & food is yummy! I love the seafood crepes. The lettuce wraps are also really good - especially the sauce that comes with them. Friendly service. read more

The staff was very friendly and welcoming initially the menu didn't highlight vegan options so I would recommend asking your wait staff for the vegan menu with annotations. I opted for the vegan tofu dish and it was absolutely delicious. I enjoyed the aesthetic of the restaurant it was beautiful and the decor was relaxing. My only strife for me and my guest were the flies. I understand that it's summer so whenever you open the door thousands of them attempt to get in but it took away from the dining experience. Overall the food was delicious we will definitely be returning again minus the flies likely in winter. read more

Since my first review I have sat in, done pickup, and ordered through DoorDash. Everything is still always hot fresh and tasty. The one qualm I have is for DoorDash that sometimes they don't bring the whole order but they must not be asking for the whole order. I'm happy to have such a good restaurant so close to home. There aren't many good options nearby that I'd choose repeatedly. read more

Service was amazing and the decor was very unique . The food was amazing . The cooks even accommodated to prepare my partners meal due to her allergies. We will definitely be back soon read more

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. read more

One of the worst experiences I've had at a restaurant. Got seated was told my server would be by, server didn't show up for ten minutes. Ordered a Guinness and a shot, shot was served to me Guinness took 10-15 minutes to some me. Order chicken and waffles. How can you mess that up two chicken pieces that were over cooked and dry like no other. Waffle was cold and they don't even have maple syrup it's high fructose caramel colored syrup. Service was horrible and they make you leave 20 percent gratuity. As well the sever was sneezing and didn't was her hands and the server treys were dirty I bet the kitchen is nasty read more

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. read more

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. read more

I wanted to really like this place, but they misrepresent their food in their menu and charge extreme fees for delivery services. I ordered their crab Rangoons as a five piece. I received four and they were all barely filled and I detected NO SEAFOOD. They were burned in the outside and nearly uncooked in the middle. Like they flash fried a shoddy product in two minutes instead of doing the job. The sauce was also generic and tasted bland. I also ordered the curried coconut chicken. I will say it smelled great, but nowhere does it list on this app, doordash, or their website its served OVER rice. I cant eat rice at the moment for digestive issues. And it should have been on the side. No one serves curry on the rice. Its meant to be eaten on the side. After delivery and thirty minutes later all of the curry was absorbed into what I cant eat right now. I had high expectations for this place but now I doubt ill be back. They need to update their menus and inform their staff accordingly. read more

Super fun spot that me and the girl friends found by chance. Food and service were excellent. Try the carrot cake.

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. read more

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. read more

We ate here earlier in the day, and the food was quite salty. I didn't know if it was because we were the first order of the afternoon or if it's always like that, but I had a bit of a headache afterward. The Korean wings were good, but the pepper steak and sliders were overly salty. The sauces were over reduced and just a little more salt seasoning than I'm used to. The staff was super friendly though! read more

The food was great. Nice large portions, I love getting another meal from my leftovers. I ordered the curry peanut chicken bowl. It was a generous portion served over rice. My friend ordered the burger and fries. He devoured the entire burger which was large. I helped with the fries; who can resist helping a friend with some really good fries! Our waitress was attentive, she was busy because the restaurant was full on a Sunday evening. We were lucky to get a booth, we only waited maybe 5-10 minutes. The atmosphere was a little loud but not too bad. We had both heard good things about the place and wanted to try it. There was a nice selection of dishes on the menu I will be back to try more of them! read more

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!!! read more

*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: read more

Alma Kitchen - The best spinach artichoke dip ever - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Grosse Pointe Park, Michigan

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. read more

First to inform. They're customer service is amazing. Well attended and very mannered people. Love everything on the menu, very very delicious. Spinach dip is my favorite 10/10 as well as their other appetizers options! From their brunch lunch-dinner anything is recommended!! So If your in the area, come try it out you won't regret it!! read more

What a beautiful setting! Gorgeous & peaceful artwork inside & out. I had lunch with my friend- she had ribs, I had breakfast quesadillas and then we shared carrot cake. All were delicious! The only thing I didn't love was that they clean with fabuloso (which I am very allergic to). Otherwise - excellent little place. I will go back but probably won't stay as long for my lungs' sake. read more

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. read more

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! read more

I liked this place, kind of a strange mix of Mexican and other cuisines and apparently they put french fries inside their burrito which sounded weird so I skipped that, they lost me when they initiated a mandatory gratuity, by definition a gratuity is voluntary but I guess they couldn't trust their customers to play along, I removed them from my go-to list read more

I've stopped in a couple times now to have their sliders and Guinness they are the best in the area. The bartender Daniel, is very friendly and pours a great Guinness waiting to let it settle. Sitting at the bar is very comfortable and friendly, even as a single person sliders are made with Cheese and a caramelized onion and are extremely tasty. atmosphere is laid-back and comfortable. read more

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. read more

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. read more
