This is a small restaurant with a couple long tables in the middle and flowery upholstered booths around the perimeter. Sure, it wasn't aesthetically appealing, but my heart leaped with expectation because I knew it had a better chance of being an authentic food joint...and I was right :) (Well ok, so were all the other reviewers.) I ordered the shish kafta with rice and baba ganouj, and I loved the food so much that I ate til my stomach hurt and could take no more. I think the rice was the best part -- perfectly spiced and not too salty, with little bits of ground beef mixed in. Even my "vegetarian" friend couldn't help but sample it. I tasted a bit of the falafel she ordered, and it was light, crispy, and flavorful all at the same time. The baba ganouj was also really good, more hummus than eggplant in the taste, but that wasn't necessarily a bad thing at all. The kebab was of course delicious as well. I also got a little bottle of Egypt-imported guava juice out of the little fridge by the entrance....mmm so refreshing. My only warning to non-Muslims is that you may want to cover up and look proper here (or just in Dearborn in general). My friend and I came in with shorts and a t-shirt/tank top and it took a while for the stares to die down. Oh yeah and I had Asian "glow" from a margarita in Mexicantown just an hour earlier. Haha good times!.....don't do what I did. read more

I fear for my life when I come here because last time a fight randomly broke out between two families and it was scary. I wasn't present for the fight but it still traumatized me. Other then fear for life this place got good food and I recommend coming here! Just bring some security... read more

Not okay! This place is LOUD. Meaning, right when I walk in.. the chaos was striking. Staff was shouting at each other inappropriately. Seemed like I walked in during a rush - big mistake. Everyone was shouting and looking for my order. I came for a pick up - thank God, because I wouldnt have been able to handle the noisy atmosphere. I came in and stood for 43 minutes waiting to pick up my farooj. I heard many good things about this place and as someone who owns restaurant chains, came to try it out. I would never condone the type of behavior at Hamido. Men were shouting at their staff very angrily and didnt help the struggling women who seemed to be running the whole place. They were in charge of my pick up order but seemed like they were in a horrible aura and caused them to become frustrated. The whole place was loud and busy while I was still standing there for my order. Lets move on. Besides the noise, I really want to emphasize the long wait and the disorganization of orders. Is there even a manger here? Hello!? It seemed like there was no authority figure to dictate what was going on and who was doing what. The lack of organization was appalling As for the food, I will admit, the farooj was very good. Cooked perfectly. I wish I could give this place more stars for their taste but the environment was so rude and inappropriate I simply cannot To the owner: Please hire better management and learn how to kindly treat workers To the customers: You can find tasty food in a calm environment. No need to come here to this mess. read more

Yum! We arrived at this place a little before 11. None of the shwarma was ready yet, but we ordered the shish and the kofte, which were excellent. Great value for the amount of food you get. The falafels were stand out fantastic. Not just well flavored but also a little spicy. The place looks pretty goofy though. It looks like a fast food joint. There's a yellow star on the window, did it used to be a Hardee's? Also there's a wacky sideways triangle on the roof that reminds me of Sonic Burgers. read more

How can you go wrong with a wall of roasting meats? Cones of chicken and meat schwarma waiting to be shaved to order & the amazingly delicious rotisserie chickens are drool worthy. Grilled to order kebabs, tawook, and kibbie will not disappoint. The salads and vegetarian dishes are always fresh, flavorful, and the perfect foil to a carnivorous meal. The toum (garlic sauce) is thick, white, fluffy and perfectly pungent. Order an aryan (yogurt drink) & some vegetables to keep the meat sweats at bay. read more

The food here is good but on the greasier side. Their unique options such as tongue were done really well. I had a shawarma sandwich- the meat was delicious, but it didn't have enough veggies and was heavy on the sauce. The hummus was decent. The waiting staff were extremely polite and timely, the food was cheap and slightly above average, and the ambience was appropriate for an afternoon with friends. read more

Good was great! Service was wonderful! Only serve bottled water no tap! Kids love the chicken soup and bread and hummus! The roasted chicken is what we will order next time! read more

Hamido must know I am a sucker for pickles, and while there are other places that bring out a heap of them before you order, these take the cake. You can't base a review on pickles alone however but it doesn't matter because the food was outstanding as well. If I recall properly my girlfriend and I only spent 12 dollars after tip and I have a clear recollection of walking out very full. So, is it cheap? I think so. Is it worth the drive and not being able to read parts of the menu that are in Arabic. Of course! read more

This used to be my favorite restaurant but now the food is not the same meat shawarma was ok hummus watery salad is very plain the tomatoes wore old and they don't clean bathrooms at all u go inside to wash ur hands u come and don't want to eat because of bad it smells o hope they go back to the same a few years back read more

I took my family for dinner here, and ordered the Dinner for Two and falafel. The chicken shawarma was good, the beef shawarma a little fatty, the shish kafta a little dry, the fatoush giant and decent, the chicken tawook was tasty but a little dry, the shish kebab very moist and tasty, the falafel was good, the hummus creamy but had the distinct taste of sunflower oil, the garlic spread just ok. The dinner for two is actually enough for 3-4 adults. Soft drinks are served in the can and not too cold. Waitress was fast, and efficient. Now the bad part......warning: if you must go to the bathroom, go after you have eaten. (unless you are easily nauseated) It is so dirty and run-down, you will lose your appetite. It reminds me of the restaurant bathrooms on the beach in Cartagena, or some in Bangkok. My wife said that the women's room was also super run-down and filthy. I don't usually take stars off for decor or facility condition, but I had to take one off this time because of the extreme condition. These bathrooms could scare some people. I wouldn't ever go back in there again. Maybe we should do carry-out from now on. I hope it is not a reflection of the kitchen's sanitation. read more

Their food is so good! Everything I tried there tasted amazing especially the chicken shawarma and fattoush. It's a nice little place with great food read more

Hamido Restaurant - Lebanese Near Me - Dearborn, Michigan

Awesome chicken shawarma sandwich! Inexpensive and simply delicious and perfectly portioned. Very cramped lobby area and dirty bathroom, but the food is really good. I haven't had as much from this location as the Ford Rd location but it's the same outfit. read more

This restaurant has amazing food! I visited Hamido yesterday and not exaggerating it was the best middle eastern food ever!! Not only the taste of food but also service was great! Now I know the place to go when I visit Dearborn. Thank you guys!! read more

Hamido Restaurant - Hamido's special for two - Lebanese Near Me - Dearborn, Michigan

UOENO. Best shawarma in metro Detroit. Hands down. And they have the leban drinks. See you don't even know about that. Detroit shawarma has infested this city. Their like rodents. Most of the places are just vile. Hell, most of the places don't even put their shawarma on a rotisserie they just grill it!! Hamidos is THE. REAL. DEAL. read more

Get the Hamido platter for 2, you will not regret it. It's a great portion for the price with tons of meat!

Worst kafta kabob ever was still red in the inside, I took it back had to fight for a refund. I will never ever eat here.

The customer service is hit or miss depending on who you get. The owner was rude and laughed at a customer who stuttered while explaining his order. Been going here for years and was very disappointed by this. Food is amazing and the younger staff usually are great. They stay busy so going in during covid is very stressful. They do address customers that walk in without masks which is reassuring. I'll likely reduce my visits here given the owner's behavior and the covid stress, despite the yummy food. read more

Very bad customer service you wait so long for someone to take your order just for someone to walk in after you and order ahead of you there is no such thing as a line there. They are also so racist and treat the Lebanese customers better than others. Disgusting won't ever come back workers all had an attitude read more

Great falafel and the aroma can drag you in from quarter of a mile. The price is quite cheap and the place is packed with locals so u can't go wrong about it read more

Wow this place is unpretentious yet delivered the most amazing food in a great bargain price. Having being located at the midst of middle eastern neighborhood and other similar restaurants, the place was packed and busy. Tried the combo plate and was shocked by flavor, freshness and quality of the food. read more

This place had the best falafel sandwhiches ever! They are generous with the filling and you can tell it was made to order. They have really good kobbeh too! read more

Great food. Ordered the whole chicken with a side of fries and it was delicious. They render the fat so well that the chicken keeps a lot of flavor and the skin is still crispy. We also tried their beef shawarma, so so good. Ready to go back so I can try more dishes. read more

Best damn meal in Detroit. Period. This is the place for a real shawarma sandwich. Don't be fooled by its size...you won't care that you're six deep in a booth when you've got a tray of glorious meats at the table. Their hummus is magical. So silky and smooth...the Baba is also made to perfection. The charm of mismatched flatware makes for a fun table game as well. Whoever gets the fish knife wins! read more

I am visiting from California and have been here for 5 days and I have been to this place 3 times already. The food is amazing the Flatbush is the best and the shawarma both chicken and meat are awesome!! I will miss this place when I go back home but I will definitely visit a few more times before that. read more

Disappointed in there food...never again............................................. The fries was super grease and burger was sloppy as hell disgusting... read more

I was raised in Abu Dhabi which arguably has the best shwarmas in the world. Hamido comes as close as it gets. The chicken shwarma with pickles and garlic is incredible thanks to the juicy marinated chicken. This place is a must try. read more

Went to Dearborn for the weekend. I was planning on doing Al Ameer for lunch but a friend suggested Hamido. I am glad he did food was amazing. We had medium platter which serves 3-4. There was 3 of we got hummus, salad, rice, flafil and various meats. Beef was very flavorful, rice had a distinct flabor which i really enjoyed. Meal also came with dolmada's which were ok. Hummus was fresh, pita's seemed cold was hoping for hot pitas. Portions were certainly generous, meat was amazing but certainly some details were skipped. I will certainly visit again when in Dearborn again. read more

This joint is genuinely middle eastern, as soon as I walked in I was greeted with friendly faces and smiles all around. I ordered the shawarma sandwich along with the hamido plate for 2 (was with a friend) - so I can definitely comment on essentially every item on the menu. Firstly the portions are unbelievable, best bang for your buck for sure! The shawarma sandwich was amazing, only mild complaint was they put too much garlic in it. The hamido plate was incredible, everything from the chicken to the beef to the shish tawook I actually bought extra to take back with me to Toronto. It was that incredible. Haven't been to too many places in the area, but I have been to plenty of joints in the middle east and I can tell you that Hamido's is definitely on par with those ones. read more

I ate here again two days ago and there was a young manager in charge and things ran much more pleasantly. He wasn't hollering at the employees at all, so I'm bumping up my rating. The food was excellent per usual. I had the liver sandwich again and my friend had the falafel sandwich. Delicious! read more

See all

Lemony flavor on everything we got which I LOVED. Wife wasn't so happy about it. The chicken soup was off the charts good

Food authentic! Customer service is the absolute best. I ordered the breakfast foul and falafel and it was the best I have had in Dearborn! Absolutely amazing. I wish they had delivery options. Open up to doordash :) read more

The best. We sometimes travel from West Michigan just to get Hamido's! Yes... it's that good.

I love this place don't get me wrong I always get take out from here but today when I ordered food n started to eat I found a really big bug in the salad and that ruined my day I couldn't eat any of the food $30 went for nothing. read more

This was our first time eating Middle Eastern food. We were very happy with our choice of restaurant and menu pick. As we hadn't ever experienced this type of food we got the platter for two and were not disappointed! The meat was very flavorful, tender, and moist. The hummus was the best hummus either of us have ever had. There were plentiful portions of everything that was served. The restaurant staff was extremely friendly, and prices were extremely reasonable. Definitely glad we stopped in! read more

The food is okay but the service is beyond aweful! Prices confirmed over the phone, that were from their website, are not the prices you are charged at the register. When I asked about it I was told that the website was old, as were the menus, and "No one asks about price. What do you want me to do, spend money on 100,000 menus to change the price?" I said that I look at price and would expect that what I was told over the phone would be the price I paid. The man (an older man) just looked at me. I ordered a chicken shawarma sandwich and small lentil soup. I asked for some extra pickles for my sandwich and was told that would be $1.00. I passed. Then when the order was rung up for my friend her total for 7.69 but he swiped the credit card for $7.70. I know someone is reading this thinking it's only $0.01 but it was hers. Do you think you could owe them money?!?! I also agree with the previous reviewer. We were stared at the entire time by patrons seated at the booth. We're not Arab and I guess they found it strange that we were there. That I can overlook, however the rudeness and funny business with the totals and change is a deal breaker read more

Awesome chicken, lamb, and hummus. Dolmas and baba ghanouj just OK. If you're eating with a group, get the group platters. The three-person platter easily serves five--great deal. Warning: service isn't great, and big groups may have to wait a while to get seated. read more

The food was great. Shawarma was moist and very flavorful. Garlic sauce was excellent. Seasoned fries were good as well. Definitely will be back again soon. read more

Hamido Restaurant - Lebanese Near Me - Dearborn, Michigan

Every time I come to Michigan I make this place a must go to.... it's the closest thing to being overseas... The portion sizes of meat are huge (I got the chicken shawerma plate). The service is awesome also. read more

One of the best Middle Eastern food places in Dearborn With excellent quality in the order is always right

Hands down the worse service in Dearborn, I've been eating here for years until now. They will make sure to get your money but cheat you on your order. If you've ever order from them more then once I'm sure you will agree with this review. Whole in the wall 100% #arabtax read more
