And fries I must say, the branzino and twice baked potato were both outstanding. Best seafood dish I've had in quite a while. The potato was excellent as well. I will go back and order again! My son's burger was good, but a little wet with grease. He didn't love their fries, hot and crispy, but didn't love the flavor. I didn't try them, so I can't articulate further - I wouldn't suppose fries would be the specialty of such a restaurant though...4.5 stars!

Arrived to our reservation early so we checked out the market. I was impressed with the amount of…read morevegetarian/vegan prepared foods. They have a unique selection of items. Prices are reasonable. The food was okay - we ordered the spinach and artichoke dip, walleye with broccolini, and white fish with asparagus plus a side of mushroom risotto. The dip was good but the chips are too thick. The risotto was bland and the broccolini was mushy and overcooked. Service was noticeably slow--we had to ask for silverware and refills ourselves. Between the service gaps and the high noise level, it wasn't the experience we expected.

The meat was very dry and I mean very dry. Chicken thighs aren't usually dry, but these ones were. The rice wasn't bad but not my favorite. I did like that you could get a grape leaf for a topping. But you're limited on toppings to 2 of each section which I didn't like. I did get free bread and that was actually really good. It came out fresh. Service was nice and you can try sauces and such. That's a plus, but the food was just not a wow factor for me.

I was super excited to see this opening up closer to me, I love the Telegraph location and I've…read morebeen to the Royal Oak location before as well. I always get the sandwich with tandoori chicken, tandoori sauce, garlic, pickles, and a bunch of veggies. Today, I also got tabouli, and I tried the pickled beets, which were excellent. My husband and I got takeout, but it looked like there was a nice seating area as well. The only con for me for this franchise is the price - it's a bit pricey, but the sandwiches are huge, so you could make two meals out of it if you weren't super hungry. The sandwiches are about $13 each, and if you get a protein like lamb there's an upcharge. I believe the bowls are about $15 each. Make sure to ask for some samoon chips with your order, too! These are like bagel chips with za'atar spice and I've never seen them anywhere else. It was about $29 for two sandwiches for us - like I said, pretty pricey but portions are gigantic.

The beef kafta - I don't know if it's just me but the texture really threw me off just looking at it visually . It was this gritty texture on top of it . I don't think it's seasoning.

Maybe I just ordered the wrong thing but I don't recommend this place based on this order.

The seating area looked nice and clean too. The food was good - I got the chicken shish kafta which was soft. Just needed some hummus with it and it was great! And I don't remember what it was called but there's a dish under lunch specials which has chicken and sauce on fries and it was SO good. Probably the best thing we had. However the other chicken dishes were dry - chicken sajji was hard to cut and so so dry even with all the sauce on it. And the chicken shish tawook was hard and dry. It was our first time and I wish our waitress had given us a little more help in what was a popular pick, she just kept saying everything tastes good. Which is fine but if we're genuinely asking, it's because we are actually looking for recommendations! Overall it was good but definitely not getting any grilled chicken because this experience was not great with it.

I'm struggling to find reasons to hate this one as much as everyone else seems to. I had no idea it…read morewas so despised. It's a place you'd never know about unless you drove by it or saw it recommended somewhere because people have almost never talked about it. The sandwiches range from unappetizing to great. Plenty of types to choose from and some unique options. Nothing nearly as groundbreaking as the theming implies, but far more interesting and quality than many other sandwich and sub places. Cranberry sauce on a sandwich was not invented here, but you won't find it anywhere else in the area. The salads used to be cold and unimpressive, but they've actually improved significantly. The chicken is bad and basically inedible, but that's true at almost every place of this caliber. For a few bucks more you get something way better and more appetizing than what you could at a Subway or Jimmy Johns. It's a step or two above Panera Bread. The shop is very spacious and large with a lot of cool decor and arrangements, but with the hours you'd never come here to eat in. They used to be open on Saturdays (and would sometimes hang up on you) but have cut their narrow times to basically nothing. Carryouts couldn't be more convenient. There'll be a brown bag with your name on it to the left of the counter. Online ordering is great. Location: 4* Convenience: 4* Service: 2* Product/quality: 3* Aesthetics: 4*

Truly a hidden gem…read more This was one of the best chicken shawarma bowls I have ever had. They give a lot of meat and a lot of topping choices. My favorite part was they have rice options: white with pilaf and yellow. I'm not a big fan of the yellow rice a lot of the time so I was great having that option. They have a lot of sauce options as well. I enjoy going to these type of joints and you can see everything. You can literally pick what you want and get the amount you want. It's always easier when it's visually. I will most definitely keep them in my rotation for delicious food.

That said, the service and overall atmosphere were good. The staff was attentive and the experience itself was pleasant, but unfortunately the food didn't match the level of service.

What could of been better: * The homemade corn beef hash just dint have the right ratio- very potato heavy. Wasn't bad, just more like hashbrowns with corn beef added.
