    Drove in from Chicago to try this place. 8.8/10 Lemon chicken rice soup was so creamy and perfectly offset the cold outside 10/10 The fattoush salad was well balanced vinaigrette with the right fresh level of sumac. Just wish there was more chips for a better crunch factor. 9.5/10 Buttery soft lamb chops. Perfectly seasoned 10/10 Chicken Sajii had rave reviews and came highly recommended to my friend and I. We found that it was tough, dry, and a bit overly seasoned with cayenne (maybe) to a finishing taste of bitterness. 7/10

    I had a large group reservation and the team went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience! Their party platters are great for a group and was delicious! We ate so much food and just had a good time. All the ingredients were fresh and well seasoned. I'll definitely be back!

    Delicious Lebanese cuisine. The portion sizes are huge to share with friends and service is excellent. My favorite was the complimentary house made bread with garlic sauce. So good. I wanted to bring more of their spicy garlic sauce home. We were accidentally given a dish we didn't order and were allowed to keep it. That was also a surprising favorite of mine. I have no idea what it was but the next time I eat here I will show my photo to order it. I like the Middle Eastern decor with large tables and booths that are good for groups. This is a great option for a nice dinner in downtown Dearborn.

    This is my top choice for middle eastern food. The hummus is creamy and buttery and pairs so well with the warm bread and garlic sauce. I especially like shish tawook (chicken kabob), shish kabob, and chicken sajji (thin sliced spicy chicken). Both entrees come with a choice of soup or salad, and either rice or fries. I recommend the chicken vegetable soup or fattoush salad, and the fries and rice are equally delicious. Service this time was slow, but the dining room was packed as it was a Saturday night. The interior appears upscale but I can tell you that it is very family friendly. Make sure and take a walk downtown once you've finished your meal as Downtown Dearborn has lots to see and do

    Spectacular! It was our last meal during our visit to Michigan, and quite a way to round it off. Dearborn obviously has no shortage of Mediterranean restaurants and I'm so glad this was on our list. We got the combo platter for 2 on the server's recommendation and it lived up to the hype - and absolutely enormous Middle East-style platter of varied and delicious meats/kabobs with salad and rice that the two of us could absolutely not finish (despite valiant attempts). They bring a basket of warm bread as well at the start which was delicious (just don't overeat it). There's plenty of seating and parking.

    Great food, service and location for family and friends to enjoy! The start of your meal is with a basket of pita with spicy garlic and regular garlic dipping sauce. We ordered a small hummus and we were happy we did. But be careful to not overeat on the pita Because the entrees are plentiful but more importantly--DELICIOUS! Side note: if you like lemonade, highly recommended trying their Lemonade Mint, it was great! Each entree comes with a chose of rice or fries and a soup or salad. From some many choices, I went with traditional shawarma (combo beef and chicken), rice, and the chicken lemon rice soup It was great! The server was beyond helpful, had a friend that had never had middle eastern food so she walked him through the choices by asking him what type of food he generally likes from other regions he was familiar with. The restaurant was filled with warmth and allows for intimate and/or family style dining. The outside seating is also great though we sat inside. A highly recommended and must if you're in Dearborn!

    When in Dearborn you will find your pick of Middle Eastern restaurants, since they have one of the largest Arabic populations in the world. Malek Al kabob was our choice for today and it was awesome. This restaurant was super clean and decorated for Ramadan. We noticed the stone oven as we walked in and could see the fresh bread baking. Our waitress greeted us quickly and took our order right away. We ordered one order of chicken kabobs and one order of beef kabobs, an order of hummus and a fresh Mango Lassi for our daughter. Both meals came with soup. We got one vegetable beef and one chicken lemon rice soup. To start, we watched them make the mango lassi from scratch and it was the best we've had. The fresh bread with toom and hummus was awesome and fresh. The kabobs were both perfectly cooked and really big portions. We left happy, full and with a giant bag of left overs. We will be back and so should you. 5 out of 5 for food and service.

    Great tabouli, hummus and lamb shish kabob. The baba ganoush had enough tahini to drown out the eggplant taste. The small pieces of homemade bread were a little dense for my taste. Friendly staff. Solid 3 1/2 stars, but didn't "wow" me like some reviews would indicate.

    Malek Al Kabob is our go-to spot for Lebanese food. There are multiple locations throughout the Detroit area, but Dearborn has the ambiance along with the perfect location. The food and service is absolutely amazing, from the bread at the beginning to any of the amazing desserts available. I always choose a vegetarian platter; hummus, baba ganouj, tabbouleh, falafel. He opts for the meat platter; kafta, kabobs, etc. All of it is amazing, and the portion sizes are over the top- always leave with a doggie bag! You must try Malek Al Kabob. It IS the best!

    We walked in the back from the patio which looked clean and like it would be enjoyable if the weather wasn't so hot. Upon entering we were greeted warmly and shown to a table. Once we sat down we were brought a basket of delicious pita bread and two dips - garlic and spicy garlic. Both were delicious with the warm pita. The menu was extensive with authentic Lebanon dishes. So many things sounded delicious. The chicken kabob with a side of rice was delicious. My tablemates enjoyed a lamb burger, schwarma and also shish kabob. Everything was seasoned perfectly. The restaurant was tidy and the staff was very busy tending to a busy restaurant. We plan a return visit sometime soon.

    Second middle eastern restaurant I've tried in the area. It was better than the first I tried since some of the proteins were slightly less overcooked. It wasn't too salty and pretty balanced. The rice was well cooked and I really enjoyed the pita and garlic dip as always. Service was prompt even when it was pretty busy which was much appreciated. We ordered the combo for 4 and it is enough for over that number. The flat chicken breast was more moist compared to the kebab. The spices are all pretty subtle and in general this makes for great leftovers. Surprisingly, I really enjoyed their salad. I went back for seconds and thirds during the meal. The hummus is super smooth as well. I like this location since it's near a lot of places to go to for dessert if you'd like. I would come back.

The owners are incredibly kind and make you feel appreciated as a customer, which really stands out. The food is pretty good overall, with solid Middle Eastern flavors and generous portions. One small thing I've noticed is that occasionally the bread comes out a bit cold, but it's a minor issue and hasn't taken away from the overall experience. Between the warm hospitality and consistently good food, LaPita is definitely a spot worth stopping by when you're in Dearborn.

They started us off with complimentary plain bread, which felt a bit basic without even a touch of garlic or flavoring. The place didn't have a dedicated drinks menu, but the server mentioned she could make anything we wanted, which sounded promising. However, the drinks didn't quite live up to expectations. The margaritas ($12) were quite diluted, and the $7 mocktails were underwhelming. For food, we ordered the Chicken Kabob Dinner, Shawarma Platter, and Spicy Man-Usha. Both the Chicken Kabob Dinner and Shawarma Platter came with two sides : we chose fattoush salad, Greek salad, and grilled vegetables. The grilled vegetables were done really well, and the shawarma platter was enjoyable. However, the chicken kabob was disappointingly dry, and the Spicy Man-Usha, despite sounding exciting, turned out quite bland. Overall, it was an okay experience, pleasant enough for a casual visit, but not something that would make us go out of our way to return.
