La Shish - Salad - Middle Eastern Near Me - Dearborn, Michigan

See all

This is the worst Mediterranean restaurant in the metro Detroit area. It took 10 minutes for someone to acknowledge we were there, and they weren't even busy. The shawarma was old and dried out. I will never eat there again. read more

This spot messed up my whole families order. Everyone didn't get what they wanted, the bill came out to be way too expensive after they knew what they did was wrong. I don't recommend this area unless you want bad service. read more

easily the Tastiest Mediterranean food in Dearborn area, been to multiple other places but none beat the taste and serving portion as this. Family visiting from abroad Loved it too! Took many takeouts too, friendly service, convenient location read more

The food is sooooo good. I had the deboned whole chicken and the lentil soup. The flavors - so balanced yet authentic! I think I devoured the soup in 30 seconds. There was enough food from the entree for 2-3 meals at home, too. The garlic sauce that accompanies the bread is not as "hot" as some other Middle Eaatern restaurants, which I preferred. The grilled veggies are a nice accompaniment however the carrots were not fully cooked and I don't care for summer squash nor zucchini. The green pepper was perfect. Sadly, the service, while friendly, did not match the foiz quality. Granted, it was Christmas, but our youthful friendly server was just not very attentive. read more

I'm from out of town and ordered La Shish delivery. This is seriously the best Mediterranean food I've been had. Every ingredient in the dish is taken care of and delicious! read more

Much improved under new management. Portions are bigger than your typical Middle Eastern restaurants. Great for big groups. Fave dishes here is all gallaba, oregano lemon chicken, lamb chops and definitely their beef shish-kabobs. Very friendly staff, ask for Nagla.. read more

The atmosphere of the was really nice and had a good warm feeling. I ordered the steak shish kabobs. The waitress started us with salads and fresh from the oven bread. The salad came with a house dressing of oil and lemon. The bread came with two dipping sauces. Both were fantastic. The kabobs came out next with the steak cooked perfect and so tender. Served with a bed of rice and grilled vegetables. Everything was delicious and served in large portions. read more

La Shish - Middle Eastern Near Me - Dearborn, Michigan

La Shish has excellent Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food. The appetizers of hot puffy pita bread with a garlic paste or salsa-esque dip to choose from is very tasty. I had the deboned grilled chicken, which is my preferred dish from this restaurant. It comes with some grilled vegetables (beet strips, carrots) and I also chose to have French fries. The salad was also good. I also tried their lentil soup on my most recent visit and that was very tasty. All the food was hot and freshly prepared. The restaurant is very clean and the serving staff is very professional. read more

When we went restaurant was empty, hostess sat us down and took our order. 1 minute after the food arrived( i was asking for a fork) she tells us we have to eat quickly and leave as suddenly the table was reserved in a an empty restaurant..... like literally empty except us a table of 6...... read more

I ordered a ShishTawook dinner (as I always do), and inside my box were no peppers, no onions! Just carrots and a piece of squash that looked old. They didn't even bake the bread anymore. That's what I was really coming for! Using her bare hands, the lady took a piece of pita bread out of the bag and thought that she was going to put that in the bag with my food. HELL NO! Not in this pandemic or any setting. Where are your gloves?!?!?! I'm glad to say that I understand that this is a pandemic going on and the pickings might be slim, but if that is the case; SLIM DOWN THE PRICE OF THAT SHIT YOU CALL A MEAL. I COULD HAVE COOKED THIS MYSELF....... AT HOME!!! read more

Went there after a long hiatus. Was disappointed. Ordered a salad with chicken. Wrong chicken no bread no sauce and the cost went up. Probably won't go back. Used to be best in area. read more

Both the food and the restaurant were superb. The staff was friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. From the salad to the marinated lamb with mushrooms. I'd definitely recommend coming here if your looking for something to really hit the spot. read more

La Shish - Middle Eastern Near Me - Dearborn, Michigan

Sucked BIG TIME!!! Nothing like the old La Shish!!! The only recipes they obtained for old La Shish was the garlic spread and hummus! Wife ordered the Lamb and hummus. it was clearly overcooked and they still brought it to the table. the lamb chops seemed as if they were soaked in marinade and not grilled. Waiting Staff was very slow and it took FOREVER for them to come to our table. It felt as if they didn't want us there! Very Disappointing!!! read more

This is my go to for Lebanese food. I love their lemon oregano chicken tawook. I order It with the side of grilled veggies and the portions are hearty. I've yet to be disappointed with anything I've ordered. Staff is always friendly and service is quick. read more

Well, reluctantly I write this review. I've been going to this Lashish location for about 15 years. Last nights service and atmosphere prompted me to write my very first review in history for a restaurant. (probably because Lashish has always been held in such high regard with me) After fasting for 7 days I knew just where I wanted to go to have my first meal. My favorite middle eastern spot has always been Lashsih. I've been to countless middle eastern restaurants but none have been close to my favorite. ( the cafe pitas, the Beiruts, the royal kabobs, and cafe pitas) Ive always known Lashish to have the best bread and garlic, the freshest veggies, and the juiciest deboned chicken. I've been a loyal customer through 3 closings and 3 re opening. From the criminal allegations/ convictions of 2006 to the reopening of the opening to this boom of any and everybody in the metro/Detroit area making a wrap and calling it a shawarma and from the food not tasting quite the same as the old days afters their re-openings. I've continued to be a fan of lashish Last night was the beginning of the end of my love affair with them. I ordered the salmon gallabah, and a friend had the sauteed mushroom shrimp both with rice/veggies. Both seasoned very well, both very tasty .Unfortunately, the service was crap and the restaurant was extremely cold. Our server accidentally spilled a bowl of tomato sauce on my jacket and down my jeans. I'm totally understanding that things like this may happen but what happened afterwards was the issue. My server Sam seemed like a decent kid, sure he wasn't as quick to complete his serving duties, and less attentive but I overlooked that (as always) because this is one of my favorite restaurants. The manager immediately came over, my friend explained what happened and he offered me 10 bucks for my dry cleaning bill. I explained to to the manager I was wearing a $600 dollar jacket and $200 jeans. (10 dollars would not have covered my dry cleaning) I expressed to the manager I would at least like my meal to be comped...he refused. (We briefly went back and forth about the matter) I took it as a smack in the face and cordially left. Afterwards I thought about all the years as a customer, skipping my 6th-8th hour classes in high school to head from the east side of Detroit to Dearborn for lunch, my first date there and just the encounters with people in my life. Here in metro Detroit/ Detroit with this huge resurgence of restaurants and major chefs relocating/ building in this area from all across the world,management should take notice. Its easier now to spend my time and money elsewhere. So that being said I will probably never go back. Too many options in the area and I choose not to spend my money with poor customer service, and inept management who don't have the ability to recognize loyalty. CATCH ME AT CEDARLAND read more

Great environment and great customer service! Chicken shawarma plate is the best. Hummus seasoned well too.

This is not the old La Shish, its just the name. I had a terrible experience at this place. The food was over cooked and the salad dressing had way too much salt in it to the point where every table was retuning their plates back to the kitchen while the manager was having a great time talking to a coworker. When I asked him why he was not asking his staff or inquiring as to the why the plates were coming back, he looked at me like I was crazy. I will never go to this location again. read more

With all the other good mediterranean restaurants, there is no reason to go here. I ordered the shawarma combo with a Greek salad upgrade for take out. The shawarma was dry and no tahini sauce, pickles, or pickled turnips were included. The garlic was salty and not good but the grilled pita was yummy. No salad dressing came with the salad and it appeared the lettuce was not dried as there was about a cup of water at the bottom of the container. All in all, not a place I will return to. Disappointing after all the raves about the old restaurant. read more

Some of the best Lebanese food I've ever had. We are always seated promptly. The service is always above par. The bread and garlic paste are absolutely phenomenal. Will go back as often as possible for as long they remain open read more

Expensive and not remotely close to old La Shish

The Maza platter is an awesome feast for four. The service is wonderful. People are friendly. Atmosphere is pleasant. Would come here for any visit to Dearborn. read more

The rice was undercooked so it crunched with every bite. The tawooq was as dry as the Sahara desert. The hummus is like water, and it was ridiculous over priced!!!! I paid 70 bucks for a platter of rice and a few pieces of Kafta and tawook. As far as service goes I wouldn't know I took it to go. read more

Should have just went to La Pita. Ordered a carry out chicken chicken Shawarma salad only because they stopped making lamb shawarma salad( its beef shawarma now) ordered lamb chilli and extra garlic butter. Let me just say first this isn't the La Shish of old. I opened my salad first had 4 pieces of a tomatoe and a few cucumbers. The dressing wasn't to flavorful luckily I ordered extra onions. The 2 garlic butters weren't filled. Took the lid off the lamb chilli 1 inch of oil was at the top stirred it but it didn't look edible tried a little but couldn't taste any lamb. lamb chili from the old la shish had a tomatoe base with peas you could see and taste the lamb. I also noticed since the new owners took over prices have gone up quality way down won't be eating here again. read more

I was told they had the old La Shish recipes and the cooks. I gave them the ultimate test - I ordered the lamb chop dinner. To my dismay the chops were flavorless, the crushed lentil soup was peppery, watery and disgusting and the salad a little bit to vinegary. The rice tasted like something that came from a cheap Chinese restaurant - sticky and a little mushy. I give them 2 stars for the good bread, but I am not driving across town for good bread. I hate the look of the place. Why are some restaurants installing TVs in their restaurants? I want to eat in peace. Any former La Shish lover with a discernible palette will tell you - this is definitely not La Shish. This place does not have La Shish's old recipes, they just have their name. Save your money! read more

Amazing food. Some entrees may be a little expensive when compared to other Middle Eastern restaurants around but the portions are huge. Everything that I ordered, including the mango lemonade, tasted amazing. Visited this place three times within a week. read more

I grew up eating La Shish almost every weekend. When La Shish re-opened a few years ago, I was disappointed to find that it wasn't the same quality. Today I went back with my family after their grand re-opening, and I was pleasantly surprised - everything was amazingly delicious. The garlic sauce was perfect, the pitas were hot and fresh, deboned chicken was juicy and flavorful, and we received a very generous helping of grilled veggies as our side. I also loved their salad and mujadara! The restaurant also looks great inside after the remodel. I will definitely be back! read more

Wasn't impressed but it wasn't totally horrible. The beef shawarma seemed really dry compared to a lot of shawarma I've had. The kafta came out very pink and when I asked to have it cooked more it came back over cooked on the outside and still undercooked on the inside. I will say their smoothies are very good!! My waitress was very nice as well. read more

I ordered my favorite dish from here called Kibbee Nayee and received tomatoe Kibbee, and I totally despises tomatoes. Also there is no picking them out I tried to so I didn't have to complain. After considering how much I spent and the fact that I worked like a dog all day and wanted to treat myself I called and spoke with management and was told that I must of ordered incorrectly regardless of the fact that I told him I had the receipt. I've never heard of a manager telling a customer that they're wrong. So I asked if I can bring it back and that I'll bring the receipt to show they're mistake and he said they're busy tonight he'll take care of me next time. The sheer audacity ,so unless you enjoy being told that your wrong and treated like crap after spending your hard earned money then by all means go waste your money at an establishment that doesn't deserve it . read more

Nothing like the old la Shish, don't let the pictures fool you. The Restaurant is dirty, the service is bad, and the food was burned and poorly decorated. Wouldn't recommend this place at all. There are a lot of better middle eastern Reaturant in the area. read more

Quality and quantity to the extreme. Great takeout service. Will be back every time I pass through town. The Deboned chicken and Lamb chops are amazing! read more

Literally the best Fatoosh Salad I have ever had in my life! Their falafel, hummus and baba ganoush are also on point. I've tried to find something that comes remotely close to their food in both Chicago and New York and without fail, nothing else ever measures up. Whenever I am in Detroit, La Shish is always on my list of things I must do while in town. Eat here. You won't be disappointed. read more

We ordered a feast for my mother in laws birthday and we were blown away by the generous portions, and delicious food. The service was superb! The food was ready to go as soon as I arrived to pick it up. They even assisted me in taking the food to my car. As for the food, the meats were cooked to perfection especially the lamb chops, even the people who did not originally eat lamb were in love! Thanks LaShish, I'll definitely be placing my catering order again soon! read more

This place was soooooooooo gooooood, used to live in the area a couple years back. Still remember the awesome hot naans and delicious rice. UGH. I want IT NOW. read more

Came here on a visit and had the absolute best Arab food I have ever had!! Service was impeccable, pita bread was warm and fresh, hummus was delicious .... I can't wait to go back! read more

I really was hopeful this would taste like the old la shish. The fatoosh dressing was a huge let down as it was mostly oil, it needed lemon juice!!! All 3 of the peole I was with received these disgusting heavy salads. The chicken kabob was tasty and so was the garlic sauce and the bread. I had a minced meat kabob that tasted like ground meat mixed with Lipton onion soup mix. I am deeply saddened because one the three people eating dinner, one was from out of town experiencing medeteranian food for the first time and he thinks this nastiness was what it was supposed to taste like. read more

Update 08/2014 Lentil soup had no flavor. Tawook sandwich was big sliced chicken breast with pickles, thats it. Greek salad tasted OK , but the lettuce was wilted like it had been marinating in dressing. Carryout service was very friendly. Original review:Lentil soup was delicious, well seasoned. I usually get the tawook which is quite simple at La Shish, almost boring but healthy- Just cut up white meat chicken in the pita with some lettuce. This time I decided to try the Chicken Shwarma, hoping that it would compete with Bucharest Grill's Shwarma. Well it didn't. It was disgusting. It was like somebody just took the meat off of some cooked legs and thighs and made a sandwich out of it. The nasty part about the meat was that it wasn't pure meat. Whoever cut the meat did not take off the gross parts that nobody wants to eat like the gristle and veins etc. Definitely won't go back for the shwarma. read more

The food here is incredible. It's some of the best Mediterranean fair I've ever had. We ordered the shawarma bites and La Shish combo and everything was so freaking tasty, the Kafka and table garlic sauce particularly. There were only two of us but we had enough food to feed four people easily. Now, the four stars are purely for food because the service is sorta crappy and slow. Regardless I can't wait to go back! read more
