Stopped in after speaking with manager here and told him about our last visit and how our order was messed up , he told me come on back he'd make it right . Got our fsttoush salads and hommous with large order of veggie grape leafs all the food was delicious I gotta say I do love their dressing for fattoush salads and hommous is on point . I work in area so I'll be in support of these guys with my business again for sure read more

Food is always good and the atmosphere is always chill I'm from Detroit but I moved to Texas and was dying for a fatoosh salad and it was so good I miss this place so much read more

I drove myself and my family from Minneapolis to go to La Shish and it was even more amazing than when I remembered! We were greeted with a warm smile from a very helpful host and everyone was friendly. As soon as I bit into the warm pita and whipped garlic, time had stood still! I ordered the chicken schwarma and my mom got the beef shish kafta! All of the meat was family style and the flavors were spectacular, you just can't go wrong! I have left overs and pray they will last because this was a very memorable foodie experience that goes down in the books! Please go and support this fine restaurant! read more

Girlfriend taking me out for Birthday lunch...where to go , remember that middle eastern place we went to years ago? Yes let's go there!! Waiter was a nice guy, Sam or something like that, he made a few suggestions we got what he suggested and yum,yum,yum. My breath smells 3 days later...but it was worth it! Food for days...no skimping for them! read more

I didn't know what to expect coming here with a group of colleagues for lunch. I thought, okay just another Mediterranean restaurant, which we ate earlier in the week and we're having Mediterranean AGAIN. There was a big group of us, 15 people. I looked at the menu and it was really hard to decide what to order, especially for vegan/vegetarian options. So I reluctantly (not knowing if I made the right choice) ended up ordering the vegetable ghallabba that substitutes the meat with potato with rice and crushed lentil soup & strawberry mango smoothie. The food took a little bit to get there because of the size of our group, but they did a good job of providing plenty of naan bread with garlic dip (WHICH I LOVE HOW THEY MAKE IT...SOO GOOD!) with tomato dip. The bread was heated in an open oven nearby and it was so good, that I was enjoying the bread and smoothie that I almost didn't care that the food being late. But once my vegetable ghallabba arrived, I was surprised how flavorful and tasty it was! Perfectly flavored without over powering, but with the side of rice it was the perfect balance and great tasting dish. I really liked how they substituted the meat with potato which many other restaurants don't have that on the menu. It's very good and if I were to not ever try it, I could've easily underestimated how good this dish was! It was kinda pricey, but worth it for the quality of food that I had. I might have to compare other vegetable ghallabbas and see if this place tops them all, because it was very good that it's worth coming out here to try again! read more

LaShish has been a longtime favorite. Even after the hiatus in operations, the food is still good. In comparison to how the food is now prepared versus how it used to be the pita bread is the only thing that has changed. I had the Shish Tawook to go. The Mediterranean Salad is the best at this establishment. I don't know what they make the dressing out of but they should seriously market it and sell it at the hostess stand. Rumor has it that the spicy garlic sauce that they serve takes a ton of garlic to make one five gallon bucket. Mmmmmm.... I love this sauce and I'd pay good money for it as well. The chicken kabob is always my favorite. The rice is buttery and a hefty portion of chicken and rice leaves you needing more pita and garlic sauce. It's a racket, I tell ya! But it's so tasty and that is why I rate them well. I've never had a bad experience. Go try them for yourself and yelp back at me! read more

On Saturday we ordered the staple 2 chicken shawarma sandwiches, 1 beef shawarma , a cup of lentil soup and a Greek salad 26.00 take out. I was disappointed in that none of the food had any seasoning. The chicken was bland, and the soup needed Salt. I love middle eastern food for the grilled spices. I don't know if they have a new cook read more

It's been a while since I've been there, but I had nothing but great meals in the three or four times that I did go ! Good portions, good atmosphere at the time good service fair prices, and I would highly recommend it read more

Great food, I highly recommend this restaurant for dinner. They also have good customer service.

Thank goodness the food is delicious. I walked in and wasn't acknowledged by any of the 5 people around the front counter. After a while, I had to announce myself and request my order. I don't know which is worse: to be followed around an establishment as if I'm going to steal something or bring ignored when I need help! I am a black woman and I'm sick and tired of some unsympathetic/unempathetic businesses treating blacks either with indifference or contempt. As nation of immigrants, we still have a long way to go. This is not my first negative (seemingly racial) experience with La Shish but I still patronize trying to give the benefit of the doubt given my sensitivity over certain issues. This time, in the current political climate around equal treatment, I felt compelled to say something in the hopes that this will be my last negative experience here so it won't be my last visit here. read more

Food was good, we love getting the sampler platters everywhere and trying the different Mediterranean foods. lifts was dry here read more

Came here to La Shish and honestly it's very nice place but the service was not on point. We waited for a server to take our order and he never kept checking on us. The best item that we enjoy were the Wings. Although they were lollipop wings they lacked meat on there. The sauce was openpit which was really good. We also had the Tomato Kibbie and it was that good to be honest. We felt it wasn't fresh . The garlic and bread were probably the best part of the meal. read more

Could there be zero stars? We ordered in advance and it still took 1 hr 15 minutes for chicken and veggie platter. They also ran out of lentil soup on a Friday at 545pm. Get it together folks. read more

The service is not the greatest. The waiter barely checked up on us. The food was below average. The tomato kibbeh is not good. I did not enjoy my chicken Fattoush salad. The fattoush dressing has a weird taste to it that I did not enjoy. We had the chicken wings which were really good but lacked chicken. The fresh bread and garlic was the only thing I enjoyed. I don't think I'll be back. read more

Honestly, there isn't a better place for Middle Eastern Cuisine than La Shish! I've eating at many places and they just don't get it like here. I don't care where I am; I'm making my way here. All my food taste fresh every time. read more

Food is good, but the history of this place and the owner's family is much more appealing. I think middle eastern food in Dearborn is a given, it's everywhere. I thought this was a good spot, love the pocket bread, but then I came across Al Ajami, Hamido, Amani's and then I realized how much I was missing out trying at slightly higher caliber spots. read more

Stopped by for lunch and got a table real quick. We were served by Mona Lisa who was just Awesome and beautiful! She came quick and took our order. We ordered the Shish Tawook Lemon Oregano with rice and with a fatoush salad. It was nice to get good food and great service. The bread and garlic sauce was great. Thanks Mrs. Knight. read more

Very delicious arabic food! I had the shish kabob, and it was amazing. The service was good as well. I highly recommend this place read more

To begin, horrible experience. This has been the absolute worst restaurant experience. To begin we walked in and it took 5 minutes for a server to greet and seat us even though the restaurant was practically half empty. The manager then came over, who was really nice, to greet us and we proceeded to order. We ordered the La Shisha tray and we were told it'll take 25 minutes which was fine as it was a large order. As we were waiting we can hear all the commotion going on in the kitchen which was not a good sign. The kitchen seemed to be extremely backed up and disorganized with the servers and manager shouting out orders back and forth right in front of all the customers. All that shouting made the experience unpleasant. Now, for the food. They first brought out the bread, cold... which was the first red flag. Then the hummus, baba ghanoush, and salad were all extremely sour. The three soups we received were either bland or extremely salty. The food was all cold. The shish kabobs were undercooked while the kafta kabobs were over cooked, cold, and dry. The rest of the food, including the rice were really cold. We honestly didn't put a dent in our plates as we just couldn't eat it. The restrooms definitely need some looking after. It's really dirty with no paper towels or toilet paper and it was infested with a ton of flies. I honestly don't understand where the rest of these good reviews come from. Summary, if you don't want to read all that lol. Staff is nice, friendly, and disorganized. Food is either cold, undercooked, overcooked, bland, or extremely salty. If I could give 0 stars I would. Hopefully they can get themselves together and enhance the food. read more

Delicious food at great prices!!! The fresh pita was the best I have ever had!! Baked fresh warm and fluffy!!! The platters were great too, and hospitality was wonderful! read more

Three of us for Sunday lunch. Hubby and daughter both order an appetizer sampler platter. Actually a good choice - but - if two people are ordering the sampler: you only need one order of hummus and one order of baba ganoush. The servings are plentiful. With the sampler they had falafel, kibbee, grape leaves with a filling, spinach pie. Of those, the spinach pie was a disappointment - but the rest were great. The hummus and baba ganoush were beyond great - they were spectacular. Both were moist and creamy. I usually don't like baba ganoush - but I thought this was delicious. I ordered Chicken Ghallabah with almond rice pilaf. Delicious - and the portion could easily serve three people. Loved it. That said - I do believe that the almond rice pilaf could very easily have been a commercial mix that I buy at the grocery store. Would I have ordered the dish knowing it came with commercial rice pilaf? Yes - and I enjoyed it. Our meals came with hot bread and a delicious garlic dipping sauce. I must learn how to make that garlic dipping sauce - it was over the moon delicious. As a side note - we packaged up the baba ganoush and the hummus along with some of the delicious bread. One day later in the styrofoam container - the bread is still soft - and the hummus/baba ganoush is STILL delicious. Check out LaShish if you are in the area. read more

In the memories of many, the original La Shish was a game changer. In its original run, this change set the standard for the menu and aesthetics for all the small Lebanese joints that dot the region. It was exciting to hear that the restaurant was being revived in 2011, after going under in 2011. I have given it a few tries in the 10 years that this new version has been open, and the sad truth is that they are doing a disservice to the memory of the original. The food is mediocre and, on a recent visit, staffing problems and disorganization caused my party to leave after ordering a plate of runny and flavorless hummus and realizing we could get better food elsewhere. Try El Ameer in Dearborn or Shish Palace in Allen Park for superior food. read more

The food was fantastic and the service was great. Staff was keeping social distancing in mind.

Food is cold Fries is hard Bread is cold Chicken raw Fatosh salde is not good Very very bad food read more

One of the best places I have been eating at love the lamb all the food is great the staff is friendly and helpful I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants read more

This place is awesome! The Chicken Ghallaba is excellent! I can never eat it all in one sitting, so I have a nice portion for dinner the next day. They serve a warm bread, baked fresh in a brick oven with garlic spread and their version of a salsa. I love the garlic spread. Forget watching your carbs today and enjoy the bread. YUM! I took a friend there today and she thoroughly enjoyed it. She will add this to her list of great food with moderate prices. read more

La Shish - Chicken Ghallaba! Yum! - Middle Eastern Near Me - Dearborn, Michigan

I have been coming to this place since high school, and the quality is consistently phenomenal!! The freshness, flavor, portion size, and overall presentation makes this thee best middle eastern restaurant in the state of Michigan. The prices are extremely affordable and the service is first class. The best thing about this place is all of their menu items are extremely healthy while at the same time delicious! They use only the best ingredients and it comes through in every bite. During CoVid we've done a lot of to go meals and Hamza always takes great care of us and treats us like family. My favorites from here are the deboned chicken meal, lamb chops, Greek salad with chicken shawarma, meat shawarma, and their fresh baked bread with garlic! Do yourself a favor EAT HERE! read more

I saw the other review of this restaurant, and I felt it should be reviewed on its food and service, not the former boss. So, with that being said, my fiancé and future in laws had lunch their today. The restaurant was very clean and spacious. We were immediately greeted and seated upon entering the restaurant. We ordered large meal for the table, deboned chicken, rice, hummus, Tabbouleh,salad . We were also served a large basket of hot rolls with butter and salsa. Which was unlimited and very good. Our Waitress was very attentive , checking on us several times during our meal. The atmosphere was nice, quiet . Only drawback was a draft of cold air from window and door, we did request to have our seat moved away from the window without any problem. However, there was still a cold draft each time the door opened. However , the chicken was seasoned well and very tender. The salad and rice was good as well. They gave us large portions of food. Had enough to take home for left overs. The bill was 50 dollars with a 20 percent tip added . Tip was not required but warranted due to the excellent service and food. I would definitely recommend this restaurant, it's a keeper. read more

My family has came here many times really enjoyed the service and food. This time it was not the same very disappointed in the flies all over the restaurant we couldn't even finish our meals. Respectfully we paid and left to not make a scene. read more

Service is the worst. I called at 9:20 and was advised that they close at 9:30. My daughter called at 10 pm advised that if she arrived by 10:30 she can order as they close at 10. She raced there, made it at 10:15 and was denied service. Even though the person who answered the phone remembered telling her to come in. We have the largest population of Arabic population in the country. This being the case a different restaurant will be getting our money moving forward my time is important and after all that time wasted trying to get LaShish we no longer had the opportunity to eat for night because everything was close. We are DONE with LaShish. read more

Great la shush tray food that was big portions excellent service and friendly staff clean environment and they practiced safe and sanitize place went with a great friend of mine Lorenzo White and fun day read more

COMMENTS SPECIFIC TO THIS LOCATION: This location tends to get less crowded during lunch rush hour compared to La Shish West. You can park closer to the restaurant - which is often not the case at La Shish West. Building is a bit older and decor has an aged look. COMMENTS ON ALL LA SHISH LOCATIONS: The most famous Middle-Eastern chain in Southeast Michigan with 13 locations. Their food is Lebanese, but they've adjusted their menu and taste to accommodate American customers. Thus, perhaps not great for seekers of authentic food, but good for beginners to Middle Eastern cuisine. While their prices are reasonable, there is added premium cost compared to non-chain restaurants in East Dearborn. FOOD: My favorite dish is Shish Tawook with lemon oregano ($15). Their freshly baked pita bread is awesome. If you go in a big group, I highly recommend their flaming tower! By the way, they do serve alcohol." read more

Amazing place highly recommend for any occasion I recommend getting the entire menu will not be disappointed

What a disappointment. I love Mediterranean Food but this was really a disappointment. The steak was like it was recooked, no flavor, and burned.The Chicken, shawama was old died out chicken. $32.00 down the drain. read more

Excellent food! Horrible service. The waitress didn't write the order down, and forgot several items. (Four people) She also rarely came back to the table. They weren't busy, but it took over a half hour just to get the check. ..... We won't be returning! read more

I left Michigan many years ago and when I came back for a visit, I learned this restaurant was closed.. I was sad because it was THEE best Med food.. and I left Michigan once again now coming back to visit in October, I am so stoked to see its open again.. I can not wait to visit. I only hope it will live up to how I remember. read more

This restaurant is our favourite restaurant in Michigan, we come from Canada to USA just to eat here. The food is always fresh and delicious, no other middle eastern cuisine can compare. The staff are also very friendly, especially the waitress Diana and the manager Abraham. 5 stars read more

I have been going here for several years. The people that work here are polite and provide great service. The food is wonderful and always full of flavor and cooked well. Clean environment and the lady that provides the theme for the decorations does a excellent job and is a great person herself. The one single thing I can say about the food here other than it being good is it is consistent. Some places you go to the food might be good and upon return you wonder what happen. Bon appetit! read more

I'm actually really disappointed with this place and their lack of organization and professionalism. We were seated at the long booths that happen to be right next to the kitchen window where servers pick up the food. Maybe because of where we were seated, but we kept overhearing our waitress and what appeared to be the restaurant manager, arguing. So that's not exactly enjoyable. We ordered X combo platter and they brought us the wrong combo platter. I will say that the food was still very delicious but it wasn't what we ordered. It was very frustrating because it felt like we had to keep waving our waitress down for more napkins, water, to take the check, etc. It makes the guests feel like a burden. It just seemed very unorganized and that other people, who were seated after us, got their food before us. I definitely will not be coming back. read more
