5/5 Leila's Lebanese Kitchen is easily one of the best Middle Eastern spots around. The flavors are fresh, authentic, and made with real care. Every dish tastes like it came straight from someone's home kitchen -- rich, seasoned perfectly, and full of that classic Lebanese comfort. The chicken is juicy, the shawarma is packed with flavor, the hummus is smooth and creamy, and the garlic sauce... unreal. You can tell everything is made fresh. Portions are generous too, so you always leave full and satisfied. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. They treat you like family the second you walk in, and the service is always fast. The restaurant is clean, cozy, and has that warm vibe that makes you want to come back. Whether you're trying Lebanese food for the first time or you already love it, Leila's sets the bar. Highly recommend -- this place is a gem. read more

Ordered lamb Giro was not lamb no flavor very small portion. The lemon rice soup was just OK at best garlic sauce tasted like out of a can.

Nice cozy family restaurant tucked away. I ordered takeout and everything was well packed. Food was delicious with good portions. Chicken shawarma is my usual metric when trying a new restaurant. Chicken was grilled but still juicy, and garlic sauce was creamy. Comes with side salad and pita. Will come again to try other items. read more

Boss got it for lunch for our office. Everyone loved it. Specially the chicken cream chop and shawarma. Can't go wrong. Great food!

The food was wonderful. Ordered the Chicken Shawarma over Rice and Meat Stuffed Grapeleaves through Doordash. This place definitely has the best grape leaves in the area!!! read more

Leila's Lebanese Kitchen - Chicken Shawarma over Rice and Grape Leaves - Lebanese Near Me - Clinton Township, Michigan

I'm not sure if they changed owners but this place seems like it's barely hanging on. No one was sitting down eating during lunch rush hour. Chicken was salty. Take your money elsewhere. read more

Just had a late dinner at Leila's. Server was sweet and attentive but food was terrible!! My husband had the lamb gyro and a Greek salad. He said it had no flavor and doubted it was lamb. The salad was beautiful to look at but dressing, again, had no flavor and was a shade of purple not seen before in any middle eastern restaurant. I had a cup of lemon rice soup that had no lemon flavor whatsoever. I also ordered a side of stuffed grape leaves that was underwhelming as well. They were tough and undercoooked- the rice was still hard. Sad. There are so many middle eastern choices in our area they will have to do better to survive. read more

Everything was amazing!! this was my first visit here! The portions were amazing, the atmosphere was amazing and the service was amazing!!! 10/10 recommend!!! read more

Sat down and waited 10 mins for the waitress to yell at us from the counter to come and see her because apparently she didn't have time to take our order. First time there and it was my last! read more

The store front was strip mall but the service was amazing which matched the delicious and generous portions that our party of seven ordered. read more

Door Dash order, decided to try this place based on all the 5-star reviews. I can't give this place 5 stars. The chicken cream chop was so dry I had to dunk the chicken strips in ranch to eat it. The side salad was bland, the baba ghannoj was ok but watery, and the even garlic spread was bland. And when I order a side of pita bread, I don't want an entire bag of bread that hasn't been cut or baked - I can buy a bag of huge pitas at the store. And then, to make everything worse - I ordered baklava and rice pudding, but they didn't have either. No dessert for me :( Not sure why I even gave this place three stars, maybe because they're still open and feeding people, idk. Next.. read more

Food is great! Price matches what you get. Service is fantastic. If I could give more stars I would! Wonderful place!

Leila's was great! I was in the mood for an original gyro and they didn't disappoint. It was so tasty, the lamb was delicious, the tzatziki sauce was on pointe. My wife had the chicken shawarma and she loved it. We also had the Lebanese salad and it was just what I had hoped it would be. We also had the hummus and it was very good. This is a quaint little place that is family run which had very generous portions and we will definitely be back again. read more

How can you NOT Love aLeila's Lebanese Kitchen....The Best Labenese food. Yummy! Enjoy!

Just one guy's opinion, but truthfully, I would never go back here. My wife and I ordered the kebab combo platter. You would assume by calling it a platter it would more than enough for two people. as it turns out it was ONLY enough for one person. Spent $40.00 dollars on a meal that was extremely unsatisfying. By labeling it a platter is false advertising. There is a reason why restaurants label there food combos and platter. Combos for one individual and platter for more than one person. Hell The average person would automatically assume a platter would feed two people. We ended up having to go to another Lebanese restaurant to get better quality food so that we could both eat. read more

Leila's Lebanese Kitchen - Leila's food so bad. - Lebanese Near Me - Clinton Township, Michigan

First time here, in response to a coupon in the weekly newspaper. The owner is very warm and friendly. As another person mentioned, we received our drinks for free on our first visit. They have a minted iced tea that is very tasty. We really enjoyed the lentil soup and tabbouli. The chicken Shawarma entrée was very generous, and not dried out as we've had at some other restaurants. Grape leaves were nicely done, and tender. The restaurant is small, and you order at the counter. They bring the food to you, but collecting your flatware and drinks is self service. Entrées include soup or salad. If you want hummus or garlic spread, you need to purchase it separately. One odd point is that the hummus costs $4.99, while the garlic spread is five dollars. Pita is the thin rounds, not the puffy ovenfresh type. It was warm and moist, better than most who serve skinny pitas. read more

As someone who has lived in the Middle East extensively, I'm very very picky about Arab food in America. That's why I was so pleased with Leila on my trip last weekend. The service was great, the bread hot and fresh, and the food fabulous. I highly recommend the Awarmeh Fettah appetizer. It's a rich, chickpea based dish with tender lamb, a yogurt sauce, and crunchy toasted bread crumbs. All together it's warm, rich, and perfect by itself or with more fresh bread. In the cold winter in Detroit, you can't go wrong with a selection of hot mezze from Leila! read more

Ordered delivery and not one mishap not one cold dish except the fattoush. Special instructions followed. Fresh salad wow. Most restaurants pay little attention to salad quality. Leila's salad was fresh and colorful. Awesome taste. Ordered falafel patties, chicken lemon rice soup, and Lebanese rice. I ate small portions and put the soup in my thermos for tomorrow's meal. Feta cheese added to salad was FRESH. Definitely the best I've had read more

Ordered food today close to closing time I was on my way home from work. The owner is super friendly and my food was fresh.

We have had many good meals from Leila's Lebanese. Everything has been delicious, really well prepared and the portions are plentiful. We look forward to continuing to enjoy our food from Leila's. read more

Overpriced Crap....I'm not seein it here. No one in the Restaurant....Were you in some kind of hurry making my order?

This place is AMAZING. First I will admit, I have only ordered the chicken shawarma sandwich but I have had it THREE times this week. It's sooo good. The chicken is tender and the garlic is perfect, not too overpowering. This place Is definitely worth trying!! read more

OMG! I found this little gem off Garfield. I am so glad I stopped. They had amazing yelps. The chicken swarma sandwich was simply amazzing. The salad was a nice size portion with sensational homemade dressing. The owner was so very kind. He made sure I had everything I wanted. The sandwich was the best chicken swarma, I have ever had. If you want amazing real homemade cooking, you need to come here. I can't wait to bring Derrick. read more

Tried this place on a whim and so happy I did. Food and service was fantastic. Under staffed as all things are these days. Will be back soon. read more

Food is always good and done before projected time, and still warm when I pick it up and get home to eat it. Also very friendly.

This place is new, but well worth going to. I really like the chicken shwarma pita, it's amazing. The garlic spread they have with the pita bread, also super amazing. For me, the best part is the staff. They are super friendly, and it's just a nice atmosphere. You can eat in or take out, and the place is spotless. read more

Juiciest chicken shawarma ive ever had. Hands down. Best in clinton township. Staff was cool too.

Best Chicken Sharma Sandwiches in the area. I have also had the kibbee which is amazing. Family run business.

The BEST Lebanese food in the area. The place is clean and modern, and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Their hummus is unparalleled and theirs is the only tabbouleh that I don't need to take home & "fix". I had the chicken cream chop pita and it was absolutely delectable. The chicken was crispy on the outside and so juicy. The pickles were delightfully sour too. But honestly the most surprising part of this experience was how delicious the iced tea was! It's a Lebanese chai, with cardamom and mint and other spices. It's so refreshing, and I'll be drinking a lot of it this summer for sure. Overall I love supporting local businesses, and Leila's makes it real easy. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

We just tried this place for the first time today. The food is amazing!! I got the chicken shawarma wrap and an appetizer of tzatziki. It was all very delicious! Totally recommend trying this place out. read more

Definitely just opened and figuring some things out but they have two very important things down: 1. The food is delicious 2. They are super nice people I tried the chicken cream chops on rice. They were crispy on the outside and the chicken was moist and delicious My wife had the chicken shawarma on rice. What's nice is that it was all white meat and it was also delicious. read more

As good as the food looked steaming off of the grill, it tasted 10x better! Everything was obviously fresh and homemade. Flavorful sides and tender meats. I will definitely be back for more! read more

First timer turned lifer! Leila's was right when we walked in. The restaurant is welcoming and the decor is like being in someone's home. Family owned and operated, the customer service was exceptional and the food was AMAZING! The hummus was creamy and full of flavor. The pita bread was soft and fresh. The greek salad was super fresh and the pink greek dressing was probably the best I have ever had. We also had the chicken Shawarma over rice, lamb gyro, and some fries. All the food was perfectly cooked and the portions were generous. read more

Lovely little Lebanese eatery! Food is wonderful. Service is great. Aesthetic is pleasing! I love the history of the son giving tribute to his mothers recipes. Spinach pies are incredible! Chicken shawarma is also a favorite. I haven't had anything I don't like :) my only wish is that they had more space for dining in, but that doesn't hurt their rating at all! They could accommodate our family of 6 with no issue. read more

I was looking for a local place to support and I wasn't disappointed. This place is great! Best Falafel pita! Definitely going back.
