    Chicken Ghallayah special
    Steven L.

    I was just at the Arab-American national museum (which everyone should visit) and had lunch here - just a block away. The Chicken Ghallayah special, at only 10 dollars, was phenomenal. Big plate of rice and a delicious chicken stew, loaded with chicken and vegetables. Side of salad and bread. I saved half of it for dinner.

    Excellent! Some of the best middle eastern food in the area! Friendly service and the restaurant is very clean! The waitress was very accommodating with extra bread! I highly recommend the hommous and the chicken shawarma on a fattoush salad! You will not be disappointed! Portions are pretty big fyi!

    Medium Fattoush Salad with chicken shawarma. Pita and garlic

    To start my dining experience the restaurant was very clean and nicely decorated . The lady who came to take my order immediately brought me a bottle of cold water and a menu ( I was dining alone after an appointment in the area). She any was very kind and pleasant. I ordered a Medium Fattoush Salad with chicken Shawarma, garlic and pita and a Pepsi. The amount of food for a medium size salad was startling . I was not expecting how large a serving it was. The food was amazing, the pita came to me while it was still steaming hot . The salad was crisp with the perfect amount of seasoning and dressing . The chicken was melt in your mouth tender and hot. I still had half of my meal left so I took it home with me.I will definitely go back the next time I'm in the area .

    Chicken Schwarma
    Rose S.

    Down here for a work training session and wanted to grab some good food to take home. This place was suggested to me, so I went ahead and made a carry out order. I ordered the Platter for 2 and a Chicken Schwarma platter with a fattoush salad. Can I just say there are a lot of Schwarma places out there, but this is some of the best Chicken Schwarma I've ever had. It was moist and tender and very flavorful. Also, the kabobs with the platter were also excellent. There was so much food, we easily could have fed 4 people. I'm not complaining though, we definitely enjoyed the leftovers! I wish we lived closer because I'd be coming here more often!

    Super fast service through grub hub, warm and very delicious!

    Great delivery food! Warm and very delicious! I ordered through grub hub and it was prepared faster than expected.

    Delicious meal of epic proportions. My group shared plates and the highlight of this dining experience was - 1. Hummus - very lemony and whipped creamy smooth 2. Falafel - lighter in color with a crisp outer shell and soft core. 3. Kafta was perfectly well done and seasoned nicely.

    Met friends for dinner and downtown was the most central point. One of my friends suggested this…read morerestaurant because it was open on a Monday and we all thought Mediterranean was a good choice. Parking is tricky in this area of downtown so I parked further away and walked. The exterior of the restaurant is what draws your eye first - it's very welcoming. Once inside, you are surrounded by high ceilings, beautiful decor, and spacious seating. We were seated at a table next to the open wall-window so it felt like outside (they do have outside seating as well). Our server was highly knowledgeable about both the drink and food offerings. She made lots of suggestions and helped us to make our choices. For a drink, they made me a Mule - it didn't have as much ginger beer as a typical Mule but that was okay - it was very refreshing. We started with hummus as an appetizer for the table. They offer different toppings with it but we went with the basic that came with pita and a small side of tuom. They make fresh pita all night long so it was hot when it arrived. Their hummus is the most fluffy and creamy I've ever had. It was a taste delight! I chose the Shish Tawook for my entree. The chicken was grilled and smelled amazing! It came with a few vegetables, rice, and a small side of tuom. It was so good! Due to the freshness of all the food, I did not feel weighed down or listless after eating, which is a good sign of healthy prepared food. Now that I know of another great choice in Detroit, I'll be bringing family and friends to this place in the future. The ambience was warm and welcoming, service was top notch, and the food was amazing!

    The service, food, and vibes were all amazing here. I had heard great things and am so glad we got…read moreto check it out. The food all tasted great and we would definitely go back. The only thing I didn't like was that they boxed my food for me, but she didn't pack my whole plate. She left out the pita that was on my dish. I also would have loved to take home the rest of our hummus appetizer, but she took it without asking if we wanted it. We asked our server for more pita and she brought it to us no problem. However, we were a group of three and she brought out three slices of pita all in one tinfoil pack... they also brought out all of our leftovers in one bag. It just felt odd that at a high end restaurant they didn't double check. I would rather box up my own food than have you waste the food I was eating. And my own bag is helpful if I need to bring home a random slice of pita because there isn't enough tinfoil to go around ...

    Al Fawwal is a new Lebanese breakfast restaurant that opened up a couple of months ago on…read moreGreenfield Rd. We saw the signs going up late last year and only recently had a chance to drop by. It's always nice to see another place that specializes in breakfast/brunch! We stopped in close to noon and found a small shop with around 8 booths worth of seating. There were only two tables with customers at the time but a couple more groups trickled in later. Service is super friendly here - we sat down, ordered and our food came out pretty quickly. Hummus Bil Tahina ($7) - Nice creamy hummus, fresh tasting. The hummus here is a bit heavier on the tahini vs. some other places. This is topped with fresh tender, piping hot and steaming chickpeas, and a nice fresh olive oil that's just the slightest bit peppery. The olive oil here tastes much fresher than most other restaurants around the area. Fatteh Bil Laban w/ Ras Aasfour ($14) - I totally misjudged what ras aasfour is - when I googled this before going in, I thought it was going to be Lebanese-style mini ground beef meatball stew, but this turned out to be straight pan fried lamb. The construction is essentially a layer of super tender chickpeas, topped with fried pita chips, a garlicky and tangy yogurt, then a very gamey lamb flavored oil (the oil they use to fry the lamb), and finally toasted slivered almonds and the aforementioned ras asfour. While I don't usually like lamb, the meat was actually not gamey at all and I honestly thought it was beef at first. It wasn't until I dipped into the rest of the bowl that I found that the oil drizzled on top is super gamey and the taste permeates everything underneath. If you like lamb, you will love this dish. All the ingredients used in this fatteh are on the liquidy side, so the pita chips get very soaked and lose their crunch. Batata Harra ($7) - These potatoes were undercooked. We heard the chef frying everything up, but I guess they still weren't cooked long enough? The insides were not fluffy and instead were on the hard side. The exterior had no crisp whatsoever. The potatoes were tossed with red pepper flakes, adding a bit of spice, and fresh cilantro and garlic, giving an herbal pungency. I also found a bit of acidity possibly from the addition of lemon juice. As with a classic Lebanese breakfast, you get pita and a plate of fresh veggies and pickles to eat everything with. The pita is standard commercial pita probably from a local bakery. Another patron was asking about bread and the waitress said the oven was down, so maybe they usually have fresh pita? The veggies included sliced tomatoes, cucumber pickles, turnip pickles, fresh radish, onion, mint, and even some Lebanese green olives. Yum! A very nice accompaniment. On the table are the usual salt, pepper, sugar, and olive oil, as well as a bottle of pomegranate molasses. We asked the waitress and she said that people enjoy drizzling it on liver and on baba ghanoush. As a side note, this is one of the few restaurants around the area that serves complimentary bottled water. Most other places charge a dollar or two per bottle. The Lebanese breakfast classics at Al Fawwal are pretty good. It's a good choice if you want to expand your breakfast repertoire.
