This small unassuming restaurant in a strip mall near DTW offers fresh authentic Middle Eastern fare. I'm staying at one of the hotels nearby and wanted a more creative and healthy dinner than the hotel offers. I'm enjoying the appetizer sampler for my main course - salad, grape leaves, humus, baba Ganesh and falafel. Fabulous and very reasonable. My new go-to spot when in the area. read more

The only reason for the 4 star is because ive never been inside there to see how clean and how the staff treats you. I will tell you this though,there Chicken Shwarma is a 5 star all day. The flavor and consistency is perfect in my opinion and the after taste is perfect read more

Food was five stars, restaurant was maybe 3. I don't mind a little chaos and I also don't need the cleanest restaurant but they were a mess! Disorganized, loud, messy. But the FOOD, it was fantastic. I got the mix grill and ate it all myself. Great flavors. Meats were all seasoned and cooked perfectly. I'll be back. read more

Food is good. Best vegan option around. Just poor customer service. Tried to call in a to go order at 9:15pm, the closed at 10pm and they stopped answering their phone. read more

My husband and I were in Detroit for a short bit of time for a wedding. By the time we got there, we were exhausted, starving, and pressed for time before the wedding started. We ordered delivery from Beirut Restaurant and it came within the estimated time and the food was DELICIOUS. We got their Energizer juice from the juice bar and it was wonderful. We also got the fried kibbeh as an appetizer, and it was one of the better kibbeh's I've had. For our meal, he got the Quail and I got the Mixed Grill. Mine was definitely the better of the two. The portion sizes were EXTREMELY generous, and we had tons that we saved to have as a late snack post-wedding. The food was great as delivery - I imagine that eating in would make it all the more fresh and even more enjoyable! read more

We only went there because we were staying at the Fairfield Inn before our flight the following day. We took a 2 minute walk there & were pleasantly surprised at how good it was. I got the appetizer platter & soup & that would have been enough for the 2 of us but my husband had already ordered the chicken shawarma plate. Lots of good food. The crushed lentil soup was also wonderful. Our waitress, Julianna was superb. read more

Best dang Shwarma I've had in a while, the little lady running the counter and tables was also extra sweet. I also ordered a tabouli salad and grape leaves ... everything was delicious. If I'm in the taste for shwarmas and I am on my way to Chicago, Indiana, or Ohio (like I always am unfortunately) , I am definitely stopping by again. read more

Very good! Loved the hummus and the chicken kabab. Great service. Server steered me in the right direction!

Love the falafels. Portions are huge The service is a hit or miss. Sometimes great, sometimes not so great.

We are friendly southern boys and we decided to visit Beirut Restaurant during our visit to Detroit to go party @ R & R Saloon in Michigan Ave. We were a bit concerned by other reviews on bad service but was pleasantly surprised by how friendly and excellent the service as is. We ordered off menu and even received free order of pickled turnips because our waitress said how well they go with their garlic yogurt dipping sauce. Hummus was perfect, falafels were crunchy outside and perfect inside. Chicken Shawarma tender and perfect flavor and beef kabob was perfect temperature and exact spices for authentic flavor. Nothing was not perfect except the bill was a bit steep because we ordered ala carte but with free turnips and enough left overs for later we'll be back next visit to Detroit. read more

After reading some reviews, I decided to give Beirut a try, and I was impressed! Best hummus I've ever had; the tabouli so delicious and fresh, and the lamb amazingly seasoned! If you're a Mediterranean food lover, and you're in the area, you have to make a stop here!! read more

Yep, it's in a strip mall. Falafel and hummus were lovely. Service is efficient, if not particularly warm or welcoming. Prices are reasonable. Close to DTW. It's my go-to for a pre- or post-flight meal. read more

I had the raw kimi and the lamb shawarma. It looks like the cooks were cooking to please. I really enjoyed the meal. The fatoosh salad was excellent and the kimi was spot on, however the lamb shawarma was a bit salty other than that very tasty. read more

Delicious Lebanese food and great service. Shish tawook and lentil soup are top notch!

Great hummus, really good warm bread. Chicken shawarma lunch special was really good and reasonably priced. Definitely will be back.

We love this place. Delicious food every time. Very quick. Good service. A little pricey but comparable similar restaurants.

I thought the place was a little dirty when I sat down. I ordered the mix grill that was generally good. I was annoyed by some crunchy pieces in the rice - the kind that come from scraping the bottom of the pan and almost break your teeth. The meats had delicious flavor but a little gristle in the lamb. It came with a big salad. This entrée could easily serve 2 but I'm a fat kid so I ate most of it. read more

Authentic and charming. Close to DTW and worth the visit. The menu is solid and staff are the real deal.

In from Los Angeles and stopped by based on a recommendation by my brother who lives in Toledo and knows the best Mid-Eastern faire around the area. Every dish was savory and well spiced. The hummus was exceptional, the grape leaves were great and the meats grilled to perfection. The Beirut Plate was more than two people could finish because the overall portions were generous. Better than anything in LA for the price. read more

Two of my coworkers recommended Beirut while we were in town. I ordered the salmon gallaya sandwich, vegetarian stuffed grapes leaves, and the carrot juice. My side salad was huge, more of an entree than a side. Dressed in a very flavorful dressing and topped with the most creamy and refreshing feta cheese I have ever tasted. The stuffed grapes leaves were delectable and juicy. Albeit a little messy but seasoned to perfection, complemented by a yogurt dressing. Everything was so tasty but the salad was by far my favorite part. Highly recommend for those staying in hotels near the airport.

This place has always got it going on. All the food is EXCELLENT & the prices are fair. Come here hungry because you'll want one of everything they have to offer. The staff is always friendly, the restaurant is clean & the food is delicious! read more

I think folks in MI give away their 4 star ratings. This restaurant is at best mediocre. When you walk in, there in no one to meet or greet at the door. I walked to the rear counter where a young man with pony tail and a frowny face asked me "what's up".. I asked if I could sit anywhere, and he said "yeah, anywhere". I picked a deuce near the entrance that had a basket containing pita bread wrapped in plastic, about as unappetizing as it gets. After a couple of minutes, the nice waitress came and asked me if I knew what I wanted to order. I asked a couple of questions on the menu and ordered the grilled half chicken and the salad with fresh feta. She didn't mention that there was a $2 surcharge for the feta, but it was worth it. On the downside, they top the salad with fried pieces of pita bread which were greasy and cold and just plain nasty. I removed them. PS: I relish hot fried pita fresh out of the fryer served in a brown paper bag that absorbs the grease. These were inedible. The grilled chicken came out hot and slightly charred just like I like it with a delicious garlic and yogurt dressing in a cup on the side. The rice pilaf on the other hand, was a sad disappointment. I was expecting basmati browned in butter with noodles and slivered almonds, but instead got some enormous white grain Uncle Ben flavorless substitute with giant chopped almonds. They topped the plate with semi-diced tomatoes and pickles of all things. Pickles... I thought that was odd. Since I'd just had the salad, the plain tomatoes were just boring at this point. All that said, the main reason I give this place 2 stars, is mostly because of the activity going on behind the bar at the rear. The men in the back were talking really loudly, the phone was ringing, orders were being taken, delivery guys were walking through the dining room;, people were picking up orders. But worst of all, these men treated the waitress with such disrespect, almost disdain. It was troubling to me and I felt uncomfortable and sorry for this nice lady. They yelled at her and blamed her repeatedly for things. She'd defend herself saying, " I didn't do that"; "I didn't touch it"; and "I'm doing the best I can" several times during my meal. It was tough to watch honestly, plus, everyone in the restaurant could hear them since it is an open area at the back. I did not finish my meal, got some baklava to go, and got out of there. I have to say that back at my hotel, the baklava was deliciously crispy and crunchy and sweet with honey. That said, I won't go back to a place that treats its only female employee with such disdain and disrespect. What nasty men. I'm sorry she works in that abusive environment. read more

I am not new to Mediterranean meals and restaurants around the country, but they deserve the great reputation their airline flight crews give it for a great place to eat during a DTW overnight. I had their mixed beef and chicken shawarma dinner and side of tabbouli and it was all they said it is. But for their dinner bring a big appetite for one or smaller one and have a companion to split it with because their portions are both delicious and generous. The price is good so this is a must if your near the airport for a night or in Detroit in general. read more

One of the best meals I've had in a while! Randomly selected based on reviews as we drove through town on work, and it was a big win. The woman (owner maybe) taking care of us was exceptional! Great welcome, menu overview, suggestions and service. She sold us on the platter that included everything to try. This place should not be missed. Great hummus, falafel, and baklava! read more

I love this place if you're looking for a great Middle Eastern Restaurant to eat this is your to go to place, Wonderful great tasting foods the staff here are very nice and friendly, Wonderful place to dine in I highly recommend this place once you eat here you will be coming back often.... read more

Food is delicious and they have very friendly service. I would come here and eat again. You will leave full.

Very good Kibbe and the kids loved the vegies too. MMM lamb and rice, so nice. Of course Diesel loved it too.

We live in Maryland but every time we are in town we make sure to stop for the lentil soup and the chicken shawarma!

Amazing, fresh, and incredibly flavorful food. Bought from here on a whim because were staying at a hotel near the airport and was shocked something so tasty arrived. It was a real treat read more

We were in to try something new, Beirut was close to hotel. Was an amazing find!! The staff/owners were absolutely friendly, food was hot, delicious. The recommendations were right on point. Would come back anytime I can. Don't settle for fast food just because your traveling, enjoy this delicious dining experience read more

The food here is extremely good. The service is great. Quick service friendly staff, well priced for the food presented. I totally recommend this place to anyone that loves good food. I come here every time I'm in Detroit. Dirty Bird... read more

The food at Beirut is ok, nothing exceptional but not bad either. I should note that I have only ever gotten carry out, never sat and ate in the restaurant. The thing that hurts their rating is the customer service. I'll just be honest here and say the service down right sucks. On more than one occasion I have sat waiting for my food, when someone from the kitchen has brought it out, sets it behind the counter while the girl working behind the counter messes about. Once, my food sat for 10mins while the girl engaged in generic banter with another customer. She seems clueless how good customer service should be handled. or why someone would want warm food. If you can put up with the customer service then I would say give Beirut a go, but if you are like me and expect the most basic level of customer service then you might want to go next door to subway. read more

Fantastic all around. Loved it. Get a Turkish coffee. When done, turn it upside down for a few minutes. Look in the cup and see your future written in the grounds. :) read more

Came here because my flight got cancelled and the airline set me up in a nearby hotel. I came in pissed and annoyed and was pleasantly greeted. The pleasantries did not stop there. I got the meal for two (so I could take leftovers with me the next day, which there were plenty) which had a taste of everything. And it was all delicious, the hummus, babaganoosh, fatoosh salad, chicken kabobs, lamb kibbeh, beef kabobs. Couldn't complain about the meal excellent food and service. read more

Food is OK but not great. The beef shish kabob was severely over cooked and dried out and lacked vegetables. The lamb soup had a nice flavor and the hummus was good. The service is poor at best, the young ladies were spending more time texting then serving. This was my second visit, if I go back it will be for take out. read more

Got this delivered for dinner. The flavors are very good but this type of food does not withstand delivery. I need to try this place in person and then RE-review it. The prices are very reasonable and the staff is very friendly. read more

The ONLY thing good about this place is the only competent person working. There are 2 kids that look like they are 12 and act like they are 9. If your going to have your kids work at your establishment but them in the back. This is a circus with these kids here read more

Hummus appetizer with a mixed shawarma for the main course. Perfection. I wanted to lick the hummus bowl after I was done but I think that's considered socially unacceptable. I will come back every time I'm in town! read more

The food is amazing! Delicious, fresh, made with love! You are given large proportions but the food is healthy & fresh, you don't feel guilty stuffing your face. Everything is homemade & authentic. The spices & oils are from Lebanon. It is family owned & you feel like you're just joining the family for a meal. Great service, great food, great people! read more
