    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

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.

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. He got my food out quickly, checked on me throughout the meal without being intrusive, and before I left, he thoughtfully brought me a wonderful cup of tea to finish the evening. 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.

They started us off with complimentary plain bread, which felt a bit basic without even a touch of garlic or flavoring. The place didn't have a dedicated drinks menu, but the server mentioned she could make anything we wanted, which sounded promising. However, the drinks didn't quite live up to expectations. The margaritas ($12) were quite diluted, and the $7 mocktails were underwhelming. For food, we ordered the Chicken Kabob Dinner, Shawarma Platter, and Spicy Man-Usha. Both the Chicken Kabob Dinner and Shawarma Platter came with two sides : we chose fattoush salad, Greek salad, and grilled vegetables. The grilled vegetables were done really well, and the shawarma platter was enjoyable. However, the chicken kabob was disappointingly dry, and the Spicy Man-Usha, despite sounding exciting, turned out quite bland. Overall, it was an okay experience, pleasant enough for a casual visit, but not something that would make us go out of our way to return.

The owners are incredibly kind and make you feel appreciated as a customer, which really stands out. The food is pretty good overall, with solid Middle Eastern flavors and generous portions. One small thing I've noticed is that occasionally the bread comes out a bit cold, but it's a minor issue and hasn't taken away from the overall experience. Between the warm hospitality and consistently good food, LaPita is definitely a spot worth stopping by when you're in Dearborn.
