The food is usual good but sometimes inconsistent with portions. I usually order the same thing and sometimes they mix up orders when people pick up. I would still go here for take out because it's the best tasting in the area. read more

This is like a dream - an Arabic restaurant with coney island prices! They are able to offer authentic Mid-East cuisine at minimum mark-up since the diner is so casual. It is a dive restaurant in a good way - because really in the old country I am sure a casual place would look and feel this way - besides they are in Dearborn so no need to dress the place up all nice to impress Americans right? A medley of sandwiches to pick from at only $3-$4 each each (i.e. meat shawarma, chicken shawarma, beef tongues, chicken livers, etc.). Lentil soup is only a couple bucks, and finally - a place that sells hummus for cheap. Depending on the size you want, hummus can be had for just $4-$6. Not bad! The dinners range from $9-$13, to the Farrouj chicken combo that feeds 2 (which I hear is awesome) costing upwards of $20+ - which is still a great price to feed 2. The garlic sauce is a little creamier than I like, but still very good. Complimentary breads are room temp and pre-bagged at the table - but for an inexpensive joint that is acceptable, especially as I have seen pricier places getting away with it. Even bottled water is only 50 cents - so they are hardly even going for profit on that! Also, our waitress was very patient and kind. Very nice attitude - she seemed to be the daughter of the owner. All in all, if you are not trying to impress anyone and just want a simple, authentic, cheap bite of Mid-East food for lunch (or dinner) then this is your place. On my side of town I go to La Marsa where the price tag includes a nicer ambiance, but if I could have it my way I would just enjoy this casual Arabic diner. Very good food for a low price, I highly recommend it! read more

Decided to try this place, since I'm a huge believer in never spending more than $5 on a bottle of wine and never spending more than $10 for a meal. I use the M&M CAFE on Michigan Avenue in Dearborn as my benchmark of the perfect blend of qualtiy and quantity. I occasionally spend slightly more on a meal, but the place must have huge amenities such as elegant ambience, generous free refills on soda, coffee, tea, rice, bread, etc. A friend had mentioned HAMIDO was open till MIDNIGHT and served till at least 11:00 p.m., so driving up to dine there at 10:30 pm would certainly not be problem. As I pulled into their ample parking lot, the party-store mafia pulled in right behind in several late model BMW'S & MERCEDES. As a courtesy, I let them walk in to get seated before me. Upon entering a waitress clad in some kind of a black hijab indicated several empty booths that were available, so I chose the the only one that looked fairly clean. She quickly brought me water and pickes & hot peppers and a menu, half of which was in arabic with pictures of the food. I ordered the vegetarian plate at $10.25, expecting huge amounts of food. A huge number of people kept entering the place well after 11:30 pm, most seeming to be ordering take-out, waiting in the booths for their orders to come up. Based on several of their LOUD conversations overheard, it seemed most owned some kind of a store or were related to somebody with a store, many of which seemed to be in OAK PARK. After having been seated for over 20 minutes, eating all of the pickles and peppers served, hijab-clad waitress brings a basket of pita bread wrapped in plastic baggies, enough for at least 4 people. Grateful for the long awaited bread....FINALLY...I dig in, dipping the slices into the olive oil I spread on my plate. Then, like 5 minutes later, my VEGEATARIAN PLATE arrives, and although the plate was not small it was a meagerly disappointing amount of food for $10.25, especially when considering how LARGE the portions were "supposed" to be here. For the same money, with much better bread, service and ambience, I could've had the Mjadera dinner with a house salad at either LA PITA or PITA CAFE in Oak Park. Oh well, one mustn't believe all the reviews one reads in YELP. read more

Don't even bother coming to this particular restaurant. Ok, so the food was decent, but look at the area it is in, the restaurant does not appear clean, and the kitchen staff are yelling at each other. There I am with a couple of girlfriends sitting in a booth that is similar to like a burger king or a Macdonald's restaurant and the people in the kitchen are screaming at each other. I am like looking around and I don't know if these customers can speak English or not but I say out loud is everything alright???? I'm a little concerned. The waitress was nice enough, and the food was good enough, but not enough to return to this particular restaurant that looks ghettoish! read more

I don't normally post reviews, but this place gave us terrible service actually no service at all, we called ahead and the lady was very rude and she picked up the phone, she took our order down for two schwarmas, we were coming from the city late night, and it told him we would be about 20 to 30 minutes they closed the place down at 1150 and when we called they repeatedly hung up. Very rude, we drove 20 minutes just for this. Would give less than one star if possible read more

Amazing shawarma probably the best around !! But sometimes the bread is way too toasted !! But over all really good food and very good price

Just went to this place and lets just say, I didn't fit in. Note to all white people, you will not feel welcome in this place. By far the worst service I've ever experienced. Our waitress gave us the dirtiest looks everytime she walked pass our table on her way to help her people. Clearly avoiding to take our order. When she finally took two seconds to stop by our table she walked away when we were still talking to her. On the plus side to food was great but the crappy service balances out to two stars in my book. read more

Sooooooooooo much good food!!!!!! We got the kabob plate and it was delicious. So happy our lyft driver suggested this restaurant. Love love the quality of the ingredients and the amount of food. How can one person ready that much! :) I gladly had it for dinner that and breakfast the next day. read more

The place serves chicken that is not fresh and some unknown meat from a huge skewer. The place has horrible and dirty bathrooms and could use a better appearance as you walk in. Warm drinks are stacked on the floor as you walk in. The tables are greasy and not very accommodating for parties of four. The huge TV makes no sense because it's dead snack in front of your meal. This eatery makes dozens of mistakes. The servers lack in knowledge of their food. Food is old and stale. There is no personal greeting or even a thank you as you leave. A very bad restaurant that lacks any good quality appearance or low standards on the food. read more

The place is small: maybe 10 tables, cramped and crowded on 4th of July. I walked in and placed an order for chicken shwarma sandwich. 4$ gets you a sandwich s which is actually shwarma, garlic sauce, pickles and some veggies wrapped in a pita. It tasted amazing but I don't think it's enough food if you're super hungry. Get fries or add hummus to satisfy the hunger. Wait time was almost nothing. I'd definitely return. read more

The new best Arabic food i ever had! The shawarma sandwich mixed with chicken & and beef was out of this world. I ate two sandwiches all by myself. Omg delicious. Their baba ganoush is to die for. And have u seen their rotissere chicken?! This place is awesome. My husband and dont mind driving from west bloomfield to dearborn.yum read more

Good food good service clean great shawarma and pickles we been there a lot we always go eat there when ever we are in Dearborn and it's always great read more

Prices are going up and up. The platter that used to be 18 dollars five years ago is 27 dollars now. Ok. That is fine. Quantity is getting less and less. Half the amount of Shawerma, skewer sizes in meat much smaller. Hardly any meat in rice. Hell even Salad bowl has become smaller. I have seen popularity dwindle too, it used to be you couldnt get a table for an hour. The worse is that they put bottled water on table just so they can make money off of that too. Hamido is done. Save your money. read more

Very nice people running this business but the food is a different story. Chicken has no taste whatsoever, neither does their garlic. The meat shrivels up like rock after it's been out for 30 minutes. Wonder why. Ew. Hummus is very bland as well. Disappointing food. Michigan has some of the best Middle Eastern restaurants, this is not one. Try Al-Amer or Habibs or Al-Ajami read more

not quite a hole in the wall, but has the feel. We were visiting the are and told to check hamido out. Amazing. We ordered the Baba ganoush (small--we ended up taking leftovers with us) and the chicken shawerma...aamazing. What made it great was the garlic sauce that they use and that they grill the sandwich (pannini style) so the bread, not only tastes great with a little crunch, but it doesn't fall apart on you...If your not a garlic fan, tell them to go easy on the dressing or put it on the side..I wish we had this place in chicago... read more

Writing from the hospital bed! Iv ate here many times before but this time was a whole different story. I made a carry out for a chicken sharuma sandwich and when I arrived they were pretty busy. I know they rushed my food just to keep the register ringing. After leaving and eating half the sandwich I realized that the chicken was under cooked! I called and complained, he said to come pick up another sandwich which I refused. Next day woke up with the worst stomach pain ever. What do you know salmonella. I never post on yelp but while iv been in this hospital for 2 days like I got shot in the abdomen I couldn't help my self but post this review. Ps. Don't eat there while there busy they don't care what they serve you! read more

Love Hamido. Picked up Hamido "for three" to feed my family of five several times. The portions are generous. Try it. You'll have a good meal and an amazing experience. Here's my takeaway from at least seven carry-outs: 1. At least twice the price goes up. Really. No apology, they just charged more until they reprint the menu. 2. The chicken shawarma is succulent, except when they overcook it sometimes. All of the meat is well-done. Somes a little dry. 3. As good as carry-out is, next time I'll eat there so I can send stuff back. They are incredibly busy and very nice, but I think the quality might be suffering due to their success. There are numerous places like Hamido, but few this good. I will go again, but also check out other places. read more

Average shawarma: I got one mixed with chicken and beef to both meats were dry. If visiting, I recommend trying something other than the shawarma. read more

If you wanna feed your family the best chicken in town you have to come to this place.

I had the chicken shish tawook sandwich and it was very delicious. I will definitely go back.

I gotta say that I was pretty skeptical when I got here considering they serve mostly meat and I'm vegan but a friend who frequents Hamido requested the meat platter swap out a few meat options for veggie options and the server gladly complied. As the extra hummus, tabolueh, and grape leaves we ordered didn't cost as much as the meat we swapped out, she brought us a few extra falafel, which was very thoughtful. The falafel were absolutely incredible - so fresh and tasty. The hummus was also ridiculously creamy. The tabouleh was so-so to me. It was fresh and flavorful, I just found it to be far too parsley-heavy, but that could be a personal preference. read more

So far most people that dined in has a good experience however I placed a to go order: 2 whole boneless chickens w sauce ON THE SIDE and told them NOT TO BURN IT w/fries and a med fattoush (small), got less than half a chicken with random chicken skins all over on top of a whole tray of fries with sauce that I did not ask for and the chicken was burnt. The pickles were spoiled, honestly they fed us garbage. I called to complain and did not get an ounce of remorse or an apology. I didnt want my money back, just wanted them to know what happened. Even while I was at the establishment picking up my food the old man was screaming at the pleasant workers and they would walk away rolling their eyes and talking about him. Worst $40 bucks I spent for 2 whole boneless chicken w/ fries and 1 med fattoush. May I add this was not the first time. Don't trust yelp. read more

Ok, it's pretty good. Yes, the portions are huge. Is it anything out of this world?.... No. I've had better food in Hamtramck, and even in Ann Arbor of all places. It's cheap, it's good, but I wouldn't travel out of my way to go here. If you're around the area, you're probably not going to get much better. read more

This place is a hole in the wall that serves authentic and delicious Lebanese food. A must try if you are in the area. The service was friendly. read more

Really really nice middle eastern food. Their shawarma meat and chicken are to die for. Their fatoush salad could be better but other than that, the service was good, the decor was welcoming and the food was delightful! read more

What a deal, ordered the 5 person dinner to $59.95 and it was really big. Hummous, Fatoosh, Lamb and Chicken Schwarma, Lamb and Chicken Kafta, and rice. Great job on the schwarma and Hummous....wish they would have given us more Babaganoush. Looks like a fast food place and a little run down, but don't let it fool ya, it's good. read more

its damn cheap and the food is pretty good. The girls who work there could be a little more cheerful and friendly

Good food, very bad service, kid up front has no respect for the staff, it kind of makes you not want to go there.

Love the fresh food the chicken shawerma platter is awesome finally someone that can deliver juicey chicken shawerma not a dried crispy grilled shit like other places. Chicken meshab is great. The portions are awesome of you are hungry read more

For a long time my lunch GTO in Dearborn has been Habib's. That suddenly changed after recently ordering 1/2 chicken with almond rice for lunch at Hamido on Ford Road with an unplanned followup the next day of fried chicken livers at their Warren location. Not greasy. Not dry. The essence of sumptuously cooked chicken with a host of Lebanese cucumber pickles & peppers. Just about as perfect as Mother's Love. Well, my mother anyway - you may not have been so lucky. I would recommend changing your luck and checking out this serious hole in the wall. Based upon my limited research in many different cities, I would surmise that 75% of Guy Fieri's Diner's, Drive-Ins & Dives don't remotely match Hamido's quality & price. read more

Excellent food. No frills. Just good food. The shwarma is top notch and the kafta is even better. Go hungry!!

Awesome people and awesome food. Believe me when I say the platter for "2people," is really good for 3. Fantastic food. Definitely a new staple. read more

Man, and I thought Chicago's Middle Eastern food was good. This place is just downright amazing. The grilled meats are just spectacular, perfectly grilled and seasoned. I love the salad and pickles they serve when you sit down. I've really been convinced that parsley is an herb belonging in any vinaigrette. They also do some amazing fresh squeezed/pressed juices too. I prefer Pita Inn's (Chicagoland) hummus as it has a little more lemon, but this hummus was also amazing and can stand up to any I've had. This place is also so generous with the portions that to finish an entire entree in one sitting will require a stomach pump. I just wish I could have weighed in on the baklava, but alas, I never had room. Too bad this place is a 4+ drive from my house... The only area for improvement is the service, kind of slow, but to be fair they said the apologized explaining that they were dealing with a new waitress' first day. read more

We ate here while in town for my son's hockey tournament. The food was absolutely amazing. My son and I each got a meat shawarma sandwhich that was fantastic. The meat was wonderfully seasoned and the pita grilled to perfection. We all shared the Fattoush salad that had an incredible crunchiness and flavor. It was quite evident it was fresh. The Hummous had a good flavor and there were an abundance of pitas to use in a basket at the table. We, unfortunately, didn't sample any desserts. Service was great. The young lady that waited on us went above and beyond to meet our needs. read more

Dearborn! Was I in middle east? I was surprised by the number of middle eastern restaurants. Just loved this place. Went in late. The hummus was silky the sharwma was moist and flavorful. One of the best shawrmas and hummus I had ever had. Love this place. Though the service was not that great. It is not a date place, just a casual eating. You can seen lot of middle eastern men eating here. Just do it! read more

The worker that answered the phone was pure classless and unprofessional she giggled for 40 seconds thinking she's in Beirut Lebanon and then asked me what I wanted to order last time I order from there Ricken Refugee's read more

This place makes authentic tasty shawarma! I highly highly recommend the chicken shawarma sandwich or the suzek sandwich! Super delicious.

The place was packed and we had to wait a bit for a table. The food was alright. The customer service was really awesome.

Absolutely delicious! The plate for 2 could feed 4, which is fine because I'm sure ill be craving more tomorrow.

One of the BEST meals I've had has been at Hamido, each time I visit MI this is the first place I have to stop in. The place isn't fancy, but its always busy! Rightfully so, their food is delicious, fresh and comes out quick! You can feed an entire family for like $40! Oh and they have the best shawarmas i've ever eaten, even better than in Lebanon! Don't pass this place up, its a sure winner of a meal! read more
