We tried this place out since there's not a lot of middle eastern food options close by. We ordered the hummus and baba ghanooj to start, fatoosh salad with chicken for me, my step dad had the chicken gallaba and my mother had a bowl of crushed lentil soup. The fatoosh with the chicken was good but I enjoyed the chicken gallaba and veggies the most. The service was quite good, ordering was quick, food came out in a timely fashion and the checkout process was speedy. read more

This place has changed. Order from them today from DoorDash my food is a messed. Didn't get any garlic everything tastes bland. I will not order anything else from this place. read more

they are racist. They're bread is hard in their way over price. And I choked on their food and then I had to go to the hospital and nobody helped me mina zero out of 10. I do not recommend trying this again. read more

We ordered two platters for 2 as there were four of us. It was easily enough food for eight people. The food was delicious, only downside was that we were flying out the next morning so couldn't eat it all. Next time we will know to order one platter for four people! read more

We've lived in Grosse Pointe for years and have driven past Cleopatra, but never gone in. Last month we were looking for Mediterranean food and decided to try it. It's amazing! There's an oven where they bake the homemade pita so you know it's fresh. Our waiter was very polite and the food was delivered fast. The dining room is small with about 8 booths and tables in the center, it's homey. I highly recommend Cleopatra! read more

Those Mediterranean bowls are delicious and both the spicy and non spicy sauce is full of flavor..im hooked!!

I found 4 hairs in my shawarma bowl and they were small curly black hair and it was in the bread for the appetizer

My son and I ordered takeout from here a month ago. Really horrible meat. I ordered a beef dish and my son ordered lamb. They were both gristly tough beef. Sauces were okay. Fries were way too many and very greasy. The place was empty. It was noon. And they had a TV blaring overhead. read more

The food was absolutely amazing. The service was superb. And it's amazingly decorated on the inside! Give this place a try ASAP! Their socials are funny as well read more

Absolutely horrible now run by young kid's, nasty overpriced food. So disappointing. Yearssssss ago, this place used to be my go to for Mediterranean dishes. After 2020, this place has consistently gone down hill. At first it was "hit or miss" but its all "miss". So much so that I went to be bed hungry vs eating my carry out. It's so unfortunate because they used to be so good. Yesterday was my last try, I bow out. read more

Shrimp tasted burnt and is probably old, did NOT taste fresh at all. After a few bites (as you can see) my stomach started hurting. please refrain from eating unless you want FOOD POISONING! read more

I just want to say Im not even from michigan i came in and tried this place the food was absolutely amazing. The customer service was the best I've ever had. I wanna thank Marko for helping me he was the greatest guy. Michigan is lucky to have a place like this. They had the best atmosphere. read more

Terrible food. Whoever thinks this is quality middle eastern or mediterranean food does not know how good food can be. Do not waste your time or money like I did. Friendly people though. read more

Amateur evening on the grill! Ordered take out, 2 appetizer dishes (lamb over hummus and sauté lamb), with both dishes the cut up lamb was tough and hard to chew, disappointing for a restaurant where lamb is a staple dish, get it together Cleopatra!! read more

This is my absolute favorite restaurant! The staff are efficient and friendly, the atmosphere is clean and well decorated, and the food is phenomenal. I could live on their bread and garlic spread. read more

I found this one and others in my Chicken Shawarma salad I bought at Cleopatra Mediterranean on Mack. The employee Saydol Quazi said they know they have them and gave me the owner's name Farag Wassef. His response was "azzhokes!" He refunded my money and tip. I am sick read more

I ordered delivery (via postmates) from Cleopatra during Covid-19. The menu is OK, but is kind of basic and not particularly exciting. The prices seemed high for the sides, but the main items are well priced. I ordered the shish tawook sandwich and a side of rice. The sandwich was good, and the chicken was good quality. That said, the chicken was dry. The rice wasn't very good at all. It didn't have almonds in it like most Mediterranean places do, and was undercooked. I ended up throwing most of it out which frustrated me for the price I paid for it. Overall, I probably wouldn't seek out ordering from here again. read more

Catered Mother's Day dinner from here. The food was pretty good, but I discovered the sticker was left on a piece of cooked green bell pepper when I went to enjoy leftovers the next day. Also saw one of the staff flipping the bread with no gloves on. read more

If you are looking for authentic Mediterranean food, you have got to try Cleopatra. I have never been disappointed with anything here.

This restaurant has Great customer service and good food! The atmosphere is welcoming and I would recommend you to try it.

The food is always delicious and fresh! The staff is always pleasant and professional.

Food ok. Bread was stale and not what you would call fresh baked. Order was incomplete. Called to complain, I guess cannot give credits. After the call we found other parts of the order not given. I understand running a restaurant is stressful , but level of service is not worth a return. Not my usual place for shawarma . Usually get coming home from work on west side. I guess for east side it is considered good. read more

fast friendly. service. very clean. Fresh Food. read more

Ummm hello Authentic cuisine how are you? Delicious! They make the bread fresh! And the sauces or dips (idk what you call them). The staff is super nice. I think it was the owner a nice gentleman! He fixed my salmon fattoush perfectly! The proportion for lunch is an awesome size! Everything is seasoned well (the salmon comes blacked) This place is worthy a stop, this is my go to lunch place when I'm next door doing cryotherapy. read more

I should have known to expect problems when I approached the door and a "Help Wanted" sign scribbled in poor penmanship on a sheet of notebook was posted on the door. Despite slow and clumsy service (I waited 25 mins for order, overworked cashier/waiter/bread baker burned 2 batches of bread while I was there), I've had the food in the past and it was solid. So I wait. The cashier gave me a discount on a glass of wine, that was cool. When my dinner was ready however, the bread wasn't. He asked if I wanted to wait 5 more mins for bread. At that point, I just wanted to leave. So no bread for my garlic sauce. My problem was really with my meal. I ordered lamb shank special. Meat appeared to be missing from the bone! And no, it was not under the rice! Very stingy serving: 2 small pieces of potato. $14 for an appetizer. THIS was the most disappointing of all. Shame. read more

Really amazing fattoush salad with yummy dressing! I'm doing keto and asked for the pita chips off and it was super filling. I will definitely return! read more

Amazing! Why have I not been here sooner? Got the lamb kabobs. Bread made fresh on site. Everything was fresh and fantastic. We will be back soon! read more

Food is good. Problem with server telling me lunch menu prices were $1 off. I ordered the lamb kafta for $12.99 menu price. When Bill came I was charged $14.99! I reminded the serv er he said price was $1 less. He said he meant $1 MORE because the menus were outdated BUT the price for the kafta was actually $2 more. The owner was unavailable so server said he would charge me $13.99. I told him for $13.99 I would have ordered the daily special moussaka for $13.99. He answered the daily special was $14.99 I insisted look at the sign! It read $13.99. I paid the $13.99 and left very unhappy!! Beware! The menus are wrong! read more

This place is great! Food is fresh, portions are huge and they bake the pita in a giant oven right in the restaurant. We usually order some combo of shawarma and hummus/baba/tabouli and we're always happy. The sampler mezze platter is HUGE and you get to try a little of everything. Seriously, it will amply feed 10 people. I also love how close it is to my house! Take out ftw! read more

Still wanted to let you all that that this is THE PLACE for the very best Egyptian & Mediterranean food in the entire metro area. I am a lifelong Med. food fan and have been eating it all of my life (my family comes from the Med. region). The family ownership is also from the Med. region and they really know what they are doing !!! Also, VERY friendly and kind people. Extremely delicious food & drinks, wonderful and friendly staff, and easy parking. Come on down and have a ball!!! 10 stars out of 10 stars. read more

My favorite Mediterranean restaurant period. The Salads are amazingly flavorful. The bread is fresh and warm and delicious, and perfectly scoops up the creamy and tasty hummus. I tend to go with the lamb shawarma and it's never failed to fill me with leftovers for the next day. The meat is tender and spiced just right, cooked to perfection. The staff are always friendly and attentive. I cannot recommend this spot enough. read more

Came in for lunch. Great chicken shawarma salad!! Complimentary garlic spread (amazing could eat with a spoon for real) and spicy tomato dipping sauce kind of like salsa and pita. Also free refills on dips. Everything you could tell was made fresh to order. Got a side of grilled vegetables that were also perfection- not greasy at all and with a nice char. My dad got musaka with rice- large portion and amazingly flavorful, however not traditional if you have the greek "moussaka" in mind. This I actually really enjoyed and stole many bites of- it was primarily meat (I think lamb) eggplant and onions and peppers. there was no potato, no beshamel sauce and no layering, like what I think of as moussaka (and generally dislike). also got a pita sandwich to go. total for four people was $41. can't wait to return!! read more

Very tasty! Good price and HUGE portions. Accidentally got wayyyy to much food. The combos for one are actually enough for two people if you order an extra side. So yummy!!! Quick take out. Will be back read more

All I'm going to say is when I order a salad I want some dressing on my salad smh never again never never again y'all even though they gave me my bread with my wife's garlic this time the salad did NOT have any dressing in or on the side but for some odd reason the salmon that came with it was drenched in some type of marinade that I am just going to assume is the salad dressing and it wasn't good at all so I'm good 3 strikes is all it takes So thanks but no thanks read more

Food was surprisingly great have a strange garlic sauce that is beyond yummy and the portions are very generous.

Chicken Shawarma Sandwich was amazing! The Fattoush salad had the perfect amount of dressing and toppings.

The food is very good and they give you large portions very fresh the restaurant is very small and intimate it is every bit worth the price a little bit pricey but not that much but worth it enjoyed the food immensely and would go back again read more

Hummus was delicious.. Bread hot fresh out of oven. Highly recommend Cleopatra! I'll definitely be back

Do not eat here. The only reason they are getting one star is so I can leave this review. The meat pies are garbage. Go to Emily's deli or actually anywhere else. They up charge for really mediocre food at best. Will never be returning after spending $90 for my family to eat here. read more

Like a giant tortoise inching out of its embarrassingly barren feedin' patch toward succulent, green meadows, the East Side is finally starting to branch out food-wise. First Thai and sushi...now a Middle-Eastern joint! After a few carry-outs and a dine-in, here's my take on Cleopatra. The people there are SO nice! My server tonight was Blanca, and she was sweet, attentive, a total sweetheart. In fact the good-natured banter of the servers between themselves and with the patrons provided a pleasant backdrop to my meal-relaxing after a long day at work. The vibe there is upbeat and family friendly, points for cleanliness too. As I perused the large menu, I was served puffy bread with a tomato based sauce and my downfall...delicious mouth-waterin', breath pollutin' garlic spread. The food came out quick, though I think it could be improved. Their smoothies are a bit too diluted down with ice and in need of a hit o' honey. The baba ghanoush has an interesting, chunkier texture-decent, but needs a more garlicy, smoky bite. The sandwiches tend to be bland and dry (hit us with more tahini sauce please!) and they're smaller in size (narrow with much less filling) than you get at the other Middle Eastern places around. Across the board, portions are smaller here while prices are higher. Cleopatra is surely a pleasant place, and they're new so there's room to tweak things. read more
