Food was decent. The staff was kind, but the service was very poor. When we arrived, there was no host available to seat us, so we ended up seating ourselves. It took roughly 15 minutes before anyone took our order, and over 45 minutes after that for our food to arrive. We ordered simple breakfast/brunch items, nothing complex. Throughout the visit, no one checked on us, and even requesting the check took an unusually long time. I came specifically to support an Iraqi-owned business and enjoy Iraqi food, which made this experience especially disappointing. The space itself felt sticky and had a slight odor, which detracted from the otherwise well-designed interior. These issues are fixable with more attentive service, regular check-ins with guests, and better upkeep of the space (for example, more frequent wipe-downs and subtle scent control). I still tipped the staff 20%, but overall this experience was disappointing. A lot of effort has clearly gone into the decor and live music, and that same level of care should be extended to service and operations.

First time having traditional and authentic Iraqi food, and we really enjoyed it! This spot is clearly a local favorite, especially amongst families, and we were surprised how many people were coming for breakfast/brunch. My friends and I shared a few dishes family-style, and everything was rich and flavorful. The impressively large bread that came with our meal was perfect for the various dips that we ordered (fattoush, hummus, foul). The Small Mixed Tray came with an assortment of fried foods, which was fun to try and a great size to share for our group of 5. We also ordered the shakshuka, which we didn't realize is a different style to the more common tomato-based shakshuka, and this one is less saucy and predominantly made with bell peppers. Still good, though we were hoping for the saucier tomato version. Only downside was that we noticed a few flies indoors, which was a bit distracting having to swat them away from our food. Regardless, the rest of the experience made up for it.

Hidden Gem! Highly recommended! This place offers a refreshing change from the typical Iraqi restaurants. The food is full of flavor and has a delicious, homemade quality. Presentation is thoughtful and inviting. The restaurant is clean, the decor has a cozy, homey feel, and the service is excellent. Everything we tried was fantastic--I'll definitely be back and will be recommending it to others.

all day Iraqi breakfast! flavorful.. reasonable price.. beautiful decor.. very authentic and soulful..

Hummus

The food here is good overall, but the outdoor seating experience really impacted our night.We ordered the large platter that came with lamb shank, chicken, fish, three types of rice, and bread. The meat was tender and very well seasoned. The hummus was also fresh and delicious!Since the indoor seating is quite limited and we were a group of six, we chose to sit outside. Unfortunately, the service was lacking. There was only one staff member taking care of everyone, so she was constantly rushing around.The biggest issue was the atmosphere outside. Another family sat right next to us and smoked continuously the entire time. It made it very hard for us to breathe. When I mentioned this to the staff before leaving, they just apologized but didn't do anything about it. It actually looked like the staff had been chatting with that family earlier, so they might have known them.Great food, but they definitely need better management of their outdoor seating area and more staff on busy nights.

When you walk in, you walk into such a beautiful place with live music, a great atmosphere a wonderful service and delicious food. I came with a group of friends and we did family style and we were so stuffed from all the delicious food. We have questions they answer them and they're very helpful. The food came out fresh and extremely hot so you know it's gonna be delicious Can I get over how amazing the food and the space was. It is a cozy space, but you feel so comfy and amazing. Also, the live music was fantastic. I would come just alone for the food and live music. Also, there's birds here.

Kaymar with honey

Great Iraqi breakfast place. The aesthetic of this place is so charming and beautiful. The atmosphere makes you feel like you are transported to Iraq. The menu offers Iraqi dishes that are meant to be shared family style. The food was so flavorful. I'd recommend ordering the fattah with meat, eggs with kabob, eggs with spicy tomatoes, kabob aroog, sausage and kaymar with honey. Skip the potatoes and bagela. The service was a bit slow when we came. Overall, I'd recommend this place for authentic Iraqi food.

So homey, cozy and delicious!
Zeina A.

I really enjoyed this sweet little cozy hole in the wall that was so full of the Iraqi culture. They played traditional music and the restaurant was small but super clean. The food was really good, we got brunch here and everything I tried was delicious. The service was quick and the staff was kind and checked in to see how we were enjoying our meal. I would def recommend checking this place out if you're looking to try something different and more unique full of traditional foods and ambiance. I would come back again to bring friends to experience this with me again!

I opted for carryout, and from the moment I placed my order, the service was amazing. The young man who took my order was so kind and helpful. I let him know it was my first time visiting, and he gave me some excellent recommendations. I decided on the shawarma plate with grilled vegetables and fries, and everything was SOOOO good! The flavors were on point, and I especially loved that they offer a spicy garlic sauce. It was something different, but so delicious, especially paired with their fresh bread! While waiting, I got a glimpse of the dining area, which had plenty of seating, along with a nice outdoor dining space. Even though I ordered carryout, the atmosphere looked inviting. Overall, this was a great first experience. The food was delicious, the customer service was top-tier, and I can definitely see why my coworker loves this place. I can't wait to go back and try more of the menu!

One guy seated at a booth on the phone and two ladies with their suitcase at another booth. Other than the 3 people, place was empty. Ordered carry out. crushed lentil bowl, chicken kafta, two sides: small hummus, small baba ghanouj, large fattoush salad with no pita. $38.13 Food takes about 15 minutes to be ready. Drove all the way back to the office. My chicken kafta looks to be lamb, not at all what I ordered. My large fattoush is covered in pita chips. Had to spend several minutes getting every pita chip out of the salad. It's good I am not allergic to gluten. They shove the dressing packet in the corner of the salad, so you get a bit less, that and the pita chips. Other than that, the salad was fine. I am quite disappointed the order is not right! The crushed lentil soup has a lot of rice in it, which is just filler to me. Has some clumps of something, may be rice and starch? It's too inconvenient to drive all the way back. Do be sure to check your carry out order before you leave the place. The crushed lentil is quite bland, not much flavor to it. Tastes some fennel, quite a few clumps of starch. The soup is more rice than lentil. I could count on one hand how many traces of lentil was in my bowl of soup. What in the world? My husband ate the lamb kafta, since I don't eat red meat. He said it was so-so, but rather dry.

So I found this spot when I was in the mood for some shawarma and I gave it a shot. I used to work…read moredown here so I probably been maybe a decade ago but it's been quite some time so I thought I would try it again. You come and it's in the parking lot of a shopping center so was free parking so that's good. It's pretty large so even if you don't think it is, when you come in as much more spacious than it seems. The place is pretty clean and they're no issues with that but at the same time when I went there was nobody there and everybody was coming for pickup. So I guess that was probably why it was still clean because nobody had made it here LOL. I talked to the guy at the counter. He was super cool and gave me plenty of time to look over The menu. Even gave me some suggestions. Hummus - so the hummus was really good. They give you a heck of a lot of it. They put it in one of those small fry containers so it's basically spilling out but it's plenty and it's super tasty . Fries - the fries came with a little dark on them so I know they were fried crispy. They weren't seasoned like that but you had so many things to choose from, whether it be the hummus or the garlic sauce or whatever to dip them in. They got plenty of flavor on deck . Grape leaf wraps - so you get a couple of these when you get the combo platter. They're tender and moist and filled with rice and really good when they're super hot. I think I might have eaten these in the car LOL . Chicken shawarma - the chicken shawarma was really good. They give you plenty of it and they give you the pita to wrap it in. They have a sauce that goes with it but you don't even need the sauce because the chicken is already tender and flavorful . Meat shawarma - the meat shawarma was pretty good. I think that the chicken was better but the meat one was really good. It was super tender and very juicy . Grilled veggies - the grilled veggies were basically hunks of vegetable LOL. You got probably almost a whole onion grilled and you got a whole bell pepper grilled and then you got a bunch of carrots grilled. Everything was large. It wasn't like you got chopped vegetables or something like that ... But everything was still good. Salad - I had all the food that I listed and I didn't even really want the salad. It came with its own vinaigrette dressing, which was still really good but at the same time it was almost too much. The salad was very fresh and had the typical toppings that you would expect from a Mediterranean spot . Overall this spot was the best choice I made all day I think. You can get all this stuff for under $40. What better deal is that? I'll definitely come back when I'm in the area for sure !

The owner was running the counter and he was friendly, welcoming, and clearly proud of the place. I went for the combo and I was greeted with fresh bread, soup, and their excellent garlic sauce, which deserves its own shoutout. I was dipping my pita with it and even added it to my rice. The soup was a pleasant surprise: a chicken‑forward broth with a thicker texture. The mixed shawarma (lamb and chicken), was enormous! Easily enough for two meals. The meat was tender, well‑seasoned, and came out fast. Between the value, the portions, and the hospitality, this feels like a hidden gem.

We were around Detroit area looking for a Mediterranean restaurant and found this one in Yelp, so…read morethought I'd be worth giving it a try, but we had NO idea we were about to find one of our new favorite restaurants in the entire U.S. The food was INCREDIBLE!!! We ordered salad, falafels, lentil soup, French fries, rice, chicken, and hummus. The falafel was different from the usual falafel you get elsewhere, It was much softer and had such a delicious, moist texture, now.... they cook the best lentil soup I've ever had in my life!! French fries were cooked perfectly. The chicken breast was also really GOOD!! My husband ordered a full portion of chicken, and he was blown away by how flavorful and tender it was. And the hummus is an absolute MUST. I LOOOVE IT!!!! We ordered way too much because everything looked so good, and at some point we literally had to tell ourselves, "Okay, we need to stop eating."

The food was outstanding. The lamb was incredibly tender, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The fresh bread, rice, and overall quality of the meal reminded me why Dearborn has become one of my favorite food destinations whenever I'm in Michigan. What made the experience even better was the service from Murad. From the moment I sat down, Murad was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind.

His warm smile, positive attitude, and professionalism made a great meal even more memorable. Restaurants can serve excellent food, but great hospitality is what keeps people coming back. Murad is a perfect example of that. If management is reading this, he's doing an outstanding job representing your restaurant. I'll be back every time my travels bring me to Dearborn.
