This place is 5 stars All Day Long!! Fast fresh clean delish! 1st time here, and I was clueless. The employee was über helpful, friendly. Gave me the run down in 10 seconds flat and I was ordering up. She even gave me sample spoons of different hummus-- all of them amazing but their cilantro/jalapeño Awesome. I ordered a bowl with bugler wheat, chicken shawarma, and all the fresh toppings- lettuce, hummus, garlic sauce, pickle, green pepper, turnip, onion, cucumber, parsley, tomatoes, and chick peas. (I passed on the pickled cabbage and jalapeños, and was mad I did). For $5.99 out the door, this was worth every penny. The chicken was flavorful and moist. The bugler was tender and perfectly cooked and the topping were all freshly hand cut. The price for the amount of quality/quantity food was spot on! Only wish I lived closer, but I'll definitely be back! read more

My my my all I can say is chipotle who lol. This was my first time coming here and I must say I'm addicted. I would go everyday if I could. So the staff is so friendly and helpful and since it was my first time they made sure to let me sample anything I was curious about so I would know what to get when I placed my order. I ended up getting a bowl with the steamed wheat crumbles or something like that lol. Half chicken half steak shawarma. And I added a variety of other things. My favorite two things were the spicy red sauce and the cilantro hummus. The food was amazing is all I can really say. So more than likely I will be going here Monday for lunch. It was quick, easy, tasty, and inexpensive. This is what I call a meal deal. read more

Chickpea Kitchen - Mediterranean Near Me - Sterling Heights, Michigan

So I am not gonna lie, my expectations were VERY high coming in because of these Yelp reviews. And boy... This place did not disappoint. As I walked in, first thing I noticed was how clean it was. I was greeted and helped right away. The guy that helped me was friendly and sooo patient with me. Let's talk about the set up, it's almost like a subway layout. You choose a bowl or pita and you choose your meat then veggies and sauces. Portions were great and so are the prices. It was fast and fresh, so no wonder it's gotten so many positive reviews. read more

Chickpea Kitchen - Chopped cream chicken! - Mediterranean Near Me - Sterling Heights, Michigan

Chickpea Kitchen is ingenious. It wisely borrows the business model of a Qdoba/Subway and applies it to Mediterranean food. You choose either a pita wrap or a bowl then pick out your meat, hummus, and veggies. Person behind the counter assembles per your instructions then you pay for it and eat it. So simple but so good. This could be just alright if the execution of the food wasn't top notch (given the sheer amount of tasty Falafel and Schwarma in the Metro Detroit area). But luckily the chefs here know a thing or two about how to do this style of cuisine right. I particularly recommend trying their cilantro jalapeno hummus. It's perhaps the best "flavored" hummus I have tasted to date. (their "regular" hummus is no slouch either, for those of you who prefer it that way) I hope this place does well enough to expand outside the Metro Detroit area. We are spoiled with great Mediterranean food around here to the point where it is easy to take for granted. But this could be a great way to introduce for example Dayton, OH and Boise, ID to the deliciousness of Chicken Cream Chops and Baba Ghannouj. Who really wants to see another boring Chipotle open up when this stuff is far better anyway. Chickpea Kitchen, please become a revolution! read more

What should i say the place is a gem. Amazing options and lovely food. Very friendly staff and offer samples if asked for the hummus. I loved their food was very fresh and appetizing it was also too much to finish. The cilantro jalapeno hummus is also amazing and a must try. I want to go there again and again. Just amazing. read more

Quick casual bowls and pita wraps. Very fresh, fast, and healthy. A lot of nice things to choose from. The sauces are very good. The hot is very HOT. It is a perfect quick lunch or dinner. read more

Yay!! New place in town! Chickpea kitchen is a new addition to Sterling Heights which is home to some of the top-rated middle eastern restaurants in Detroit area. This place is not so fancy but the concept of making your own wraps (subway style) is pretty cool. I ordered the falafel wrap and customized it. Everything was fresh here. In fact, they made fresh falafel when I ordered. They had three kinds of hummus. I tried the regular and cilantro mix and added tahini and ranch sauce over the falafel. The wrap was pretty good and not very spicy. I could have added hot sauce though. ;) Overall, pretty nice place with good food and friendly staff. Enjoy! read more

Chickpea Kitchen - Yummy! - Mediterranean Near Me - Sterling Heights, Michigan

I thought this place was very good. The prices are unbeatable! I got a pita and a side of pita chips & hummus for $7 and some change. The garlic sauce was a little strong for my liking...almost spicy because it was so garlicky. The girl at the counter dropped fresh fries for us which was appreciated. I like the "Chipotle/Subway" idea of this place because there's really nothing like it anywhere else. I'd come back. read more

Love the food here! All fresh and reasonably priced..Good service. The bowls are my favorite!

Good fresh fast cheap food!! Can't beat it for a quick healthy bite. For carry out or eat in place was clean. People were nice

This place has a great concept, and backs it up with great food and even better prices. Think of a Middle Eastern Qdoba, and you have the general idea. You can get your protein in a wrap or a bowl, I've only had the wraps. The different kinds of humus are righteous, especially the jalapeno/cilantro one. Pile on that great garlic sauce, toppings and veggies and add a cup of great soup or a huge salad, and you're good to go. I've been here a few times now and have yet to try everything since what I normally get is so good! The staff is great, and the food is excellent quality. There are a lot of places to go to get shwarma, but this is one like you've not seen before. I hope they have a lot of success -- it's a fantastic idea executed at a very reasonable price! read more

Praise! So you've heard, same set up as Chipolte, but with Mediterranean fare. The cracked wheat didn't taste like it was good for me, so that made me happy. It's way better than brown rice. I preferred the beef over the chicken shwarma, and the jalapeno/cilantro hummus over the original, but the ole groom preferred the exact opposite. The pickled cabbage was D-LISH. Just enough curry to make it count. Had all the vegetables, including fresh jalapenos sliced on a mandolin, along with the garlic sauce & ranch sauce. Topped with fresh cilantro, and spooned it up with soft pita. Ended the meal with Baklava, which too was scrumptious. Groom-y said there was too much flower taste (couldn't discern if it was rose water or lavender), I thought it could use less, but it didn't keep me from finishing the whole thing. Will definitely return. WAIT - Did I mention that the prices are great for the quality of food you get under $6/bowl/meal. Less expensive than Chipolte & McDonalds, and just as much food as you get on a plate that you pay $13.99 at a sit down Mediterranean place. They are friendly, clean, serve delicious food, and I only wish continued success for them, because I don't want them EVER LEAVING my neighborhood. read more

Everything is amazing here I promise you will not be disappointed, The staff is good there fast and ready to go yummy in my tummy

I'm an instant fan!! A friend told me about this place when it first opened and let me try some of her hummus trio. I absolutely loved it but hadn't had a chance to go check out the restaurant. Today I decided to take that trip to 17 Mile and Mound and I'm very glad I did!! First of all, I did not realize how many Mediterranean restaurants are on Mound between 12 Mile and 17 Mile. This place is kind of small and in a strip mall so you have to pay attention or you might miss it. There is a pretty big sign so that helps but I drive down Mound all the time and actually never noticed Chickpea Kitchen. I love the Qdoba meets the middle east concept. Normally when I go to a Mediterranean restaurant, I just order a chicken shawarma with the traditional tomato and pickle but Chickpea Kitchen has a wide selection of fresh veggies and sauces that I would never have thought to put with my Shawarma - It's like being at Subway! The cilantro jalapeño hummus is to die for! This will definitely be one of my new lunch spots. read more

In town visiting family of the holidays, this place is still 5 stars even years later. Food just as tasty fresh as ever, and bonus for maintaining social distancing and masks inside. Bravo! read more

Food is amazing, similar to Chipotle or Qudoba but much much better. All the ingredients are super fresh, healthier alternative for fast food! And they use chicken breast instead of chicken thigh so there's no gummy weird pieces like you get from chipotle. Highly recommend you check this place out for a high protein and healthy delicious meal! read more

Updating my original review to say still 5 stars. I definitely will go out of my way and through construction to come here to eat. As you can tell by all the other reviews this place is happening and is delicious. If you've never gone here you definitely need to, get yourself a bowl of delicious mediterranean food and take it home and then go back the next day and the next day and the next day. Super inexpensive, and you do not lose flavor or portion size for the lower cost. Everything is delicious and fresh and have I said delicious? O yeah it's delicious. Treat yo' self! read more

When it comes to quality, taste, price, service - in a combination, this is the best restaurant in Sterling Heights. I go here often, restroom is kinda dirty though, but the grill and food handling is very clean. I eat here often and it is not a replaceable option. read more

Ok - so this is why once again, I love hunting for those little local joints that everyone seems to love!! This little place was located next to our location and after eating there on Monday for lunch, it quickly became the no brainer stop for lunch the next here days. This is a very simple but incredibly fresh/delicious alternative to the many other boring lunch places one could chose from. Their seasonings are spot on and they provide a nice alternative to eat for everyone...from us animal eaters to vegan. Big flavors, fresh veggies, cracked wheat, and amazing sauces and hummus, what the hell else does one need? Enjoy!! read more

Today I was running some errands and as a loyal Yelper I went on here and wrote salads, this was the first restaurant it came on my search. I was beyond hungry so I wanted something FAST and healthy of course. So, I ordered a Bowl (They have Pita as another option) and they have like 4-5 type of meats, I ordered steak shawarma with fattoosh salad. IT was DELICIOUS!!, I cant tell you how fresh everything was and very flavorful. This is my new favorite place to go. The person behind me ordered a veggie bowl and lentil soup which next time i will try. If you want something fresh, healthy and not pricey come here! The local is size medium and its very very clean, definitely worth the try ! I will update with a picture next time, I was too hungry to snap a picture this time! read more

Love this place! I live/work nearby and order from here for lunch a lot. The food always tastes great. It's a Mediterranean version of chipotle and there's different options to choose from. It can get busy inside so I usually order online and pick up. read more

I don't leave positive reviews on Yelp that often... The food here is so great, and at such a good price too.I tend to go here once a week, and it never disappoints. It's the best version of a "build your own dish" restaurant. I'd bring my children here if I had any read more

Great prices, fresh food! You can pick your own toppings. You can pick the type of rice, the meat, the hummus flavor, and lots of veggies. It is clean, spacious, and not crowded. We ordered the chicken shawarma as well as the steak as a bowl, with the red pepper hummus. Veggie toppings include pickles, pickled cabbage and the pickled turnip. read more

Whoa. I read the reviews on Yelp and they did not disappoint. The food was fantastic. Tasted incredibly fresh and well prepared. Very similar to Chipotle but with a Mediterranean base. The food is truly great and you can't beat the cost. Not from the area but hopefully this place starts to expand into OH because this is too good to only be in one location (that I know of). read more

This is the spot for great mediterranean bowls and sandwiches, always delicious and fresh!

Just got done eating lunch and I wasn't really impressed. Got a Chicken Shawarma bowl with hot sauce, pickled veggies, rice, and lettuce. The flavors didn't blow me by any means. We also got a greek salad that again wasn't anything super special about it either. The staff seemed nice enough and the food was fresh looking and tasting it just didn't WOW me, I was just expecting more. read more

Excellent food, well flavored and fast service. In addition, if you are environmentally conscious the food is served in biodegradable bowls! Recently, they catered a graduation party for my son and his cousin. The guests at the party said that the food was wonderful and the best out of the grad parties they had attended. The staff here is solicitous and attends to every detail. I highly recommend them. read more

The Chickpea Kitchen is one of our favorite restaurants. I recommend ordering the bowl. There is a choice of rice and meats. I enjoy the chicken and wheat rice.

After checking the reviews I decided to give it a try. The place is clean, the staff friendly and the food is very good. Living in S.E. Michigan you know there are many choices if you are looking for Middle Eastern food. What sets Chickpea apart is its simplicity. Not many choices, but the ones they have will satisfy the casual eater. read more

Excellent food. A great variety of fresh ingredients to create your bowl, salad or sandwich. We will definitely be back!
