September 24, 2026. My nephew had ordered take-out from Malek Al Kabob a couple of weeks ago. It was wonderful! I have been craving it ever since. My daughter and I stopped in for dinner today, and the food was even more wonderful! The restaurant was super clean, the entire staff, including wait staff and cooks are awesome and so very friendly. Although a bit expensive, the servings are very generous portions. What my daughter and I had for dinner could have easily fed us, plus another daughter, and maybe my son as well! I would absolutely give Malek Al Kabob 6 stars if I could. I will recommend Malek Al Kabob to anyone who asks where to get delicious Middle Eastern food in a heartbeat! A+, 100%, ++++++ !!! read more

This is one of my favorite places I've ever been to for this type of food. I love their orange spicy garlic dip as well as their red fruit smoothies are always a 10/10 everytime. I made a nice review about this server over a year ago and hadn't been able to come back there til recently and he remembered us which I found very sweet. He's always patient with my older relatives while they're deciding what they want and has always been kind and offers us great service. In this review I'm adding photos from when I went around a month ago it wouldn't let me make another one on Google so am adding this one on here since I finally have the time to. I love trying different stuff from here each time but must get the fruit smoothies and that spicy garlic dip everytime makes the trip so worth it:) read more

Always such a great experience with Malek Al Kabob. We recently walked in to order takeout. The service was super quick - I only waited about 10 minutes for our food to be ready. The food was delicious and still a great temperature by the time I got home and plated for my family. The restaurant for a Saturday evening still had seating available; it was clear to me that they do a ton of carryout and that possibly outweighs the in-person dining. read more

I've seen this restaurant sooooo many times and yet never stopped,never went in, never ate there. Until I DID! And I am so glad I did! We were greeted so warmly and seated immediately. Our server, bus boy, and supporting staff was so welcoming. The area was full of customers and the clanging of cooking utensils and the small chatter made the atmosphere very cozy. And then the food came, ahh the food. Hot and steaming, smelling of the herbs and spices, bountiful and nutritious. The selection we made was a platter made for two. So beautiful, bountiful, nutritious, and delicious. We chose grilled vegetables instead of the rice or noodles( less carbs). Lamb, chicken, beef and vegetables. Yummy. We also had a mango strawberry smoothie as well. There was so much food that we had left overs! Please stop and enjoy this place. It will delight you and your senses. Stay Yelping my friends! read more

Great food and service! The energy is relaxed and ambient, family oriented place! I recommend the Lamb kabobs!

A bit pricey; decent food; mediocre service; decent dining room. Three of us shared a small fattoush with grilled chicken, two falafel sandwiches, fries, and a minty lemonade: $45 Fattoush was good, as was the grilled chicken. The minty lemonade was tasty. The falafel sandwich was simply gross: tasted like it was made from a cheap mix -- both the texture and color (see pic) were off. Definitely would not recommend. The fries were surprisingly good. We also enjoyed the red spicy garlic sauce. The service was not great. Our weirdly cheerful server, Oksana, was serving multiple tables, and was quite busy -- we had to flag her down to get our bill after she visited our neighboring table THREE times without checking in on us. All this while three young bearded stood behind the counter watching the dining room but doing little but scroll on their phones and talk to each other. Another three bearded young men, apparently cooks, sat in a back corner table on their phones... one of them wore black (latex?) gloves and continued to wipe his nose, lips, and forehead! Not good. read more

Malek Al Kabob - Taylor - Beef Shawarma (Beef) SND - Mediterranean Near Me - Taylor, Michigan

Atmosphere: The dining area is clean, comfortable and very casual. I like that they don't play music which allows for conversation with friends or whoever you are eating with. The temperature is comfortable however, if you sit near the door you could get cold in the winter. Food: The food is excellent. I always get any of the meals with chicken. Sometimes I get rice and sometimes I get French fries. The Chicken has a lot of flavor and fries tend to be extra crispy which is excellent. Overall: I love this place, my only challenge I have had is that I ordered takeout once and they gave me beef instead of chicken. I went back and they swapped it out with no issues. This is my regular spot and I highly recommend it! read more

Fast. Tasty. Delicious. And even better the next day! We had a flight to catch but couldn't leave Michigan without one last meal. We were so happy to be able to have brought the rest of this home with us. The service was SPEEDY! Like it took them like 5 minutes. We didn't expect this speed when we told them we were in a hurry but they truly delivered. There was a great vibe to the place and I can't wait to come back again! read more

It has been several years since I have been to Malek Al Kabob, but good food never changes. And that's what brings me back. They are open for lunch and dinner (10am-10pm) and you get an authentic Middle Eastern feeling in this restaurant. From the decor to the all male serving staff to the excellent food it is a very enjoyable Dining experience. read more

Food is amazing. Cashier was annoyed and stand-off ish. Prices seem slightly higher than other similar restaurants in Dearborn.

This restaurant is always pristine and the food is fabulous. Will be happy to run back to this location as soon as we can.

Absolutely delicious and authentic food. One thing I didn't know about Detroit's surrounding area is the fact that it is popular for Middle Eastern cuisine. I came with my then-boyfriend who recommended this place that was in his neck of the woods. I ordered falafel wrap and he got the gyro plate. The wait time was quick and the food came out hot. The pita bread was fluffy and soft. My then-boyfriend mentioned that the gyro meat was tender. The falafels were the best that I've ever had. Not too bready or chewy. It was perfectly cooked and well seasoned! The ambiance was weird, the guys/servers were staring at me and my then-boyfriend a lot. It made me feel a bit uncomfortable and I didn't understand it. I was glad we got out of there and went to a park to munch on our delicious meal. read more

Pretty decent. Got a fattoush with tawook. They use a bag salad mix so it does have cabbage and carrots in it not your traditional romaine. The chicken was placed piping hot on the salad they don't separate it like other places do when you get a to go so my feta was melted in the wilted lettuce- my only complaint. Overall it did the job they give a generous portion of chicken. read more

I ordered catering carryout for a group. Everyone was pleased with the food I brought from here. The individual who helped me pick up my order was very pleasant and corrected an error right away for me. I would definitely go here again. read more

Went to this restaurant many, many times. The last time the ShishKaBob was touch and had no flavor. Time before I ordered chicken lemon rice soup, but someone forgot to put the lemon in. As I said we went to this restaurant even before they enlarged the restaurant and it was always great. Its definitely lacking lately. read more

Well had an $83.00 dinner tonight. It was awful. The worst chicken rice soup ever! The delivery guy left the food on the front porch not by the side door and knock when they got here. Nope they left it on the front porch and left. So we had all cold food by the time we started to look around. I will Use a different restaurant and pick up my dinners!!! A total bad experience!!! read more

What a disappointment. They had good reviews, but I couldn't be more disappointed with the food and the service. They state to let them know about food allergies yet they are completely clueless when it comes to gluten. Twice I told them I couldn't eat the bread. Then the salad has pita chips on it. I ordered the lamb kabobs med rare, and it was raw as you can see from pic. I send it back, and it comes back an inedible well done. Needless to say, I WILL NEVER COME BACK. read more

Just bought food here and so far my worst food experience in Taylor. Ordered what the cashier recommended and all I got was dry, chewy chicken, beef, and lamb kebab. Can't believe I paid $37 for this. Everything tasted burnt and pita bread seemed old. The only thing that tasted good was the salad. read more

The Most Amazing Restaurant on Earth - Worth Every Mile! If there were ever a restaurant worth driving 1,000 miles for, this is it. Hands down, the best food I have ever had in my life. Every single bite is pure perfection--you'll be licking your fingers, your plate, and probably even considering ordering seconds (or thirds) before you're done with your first dish. There is not a single semi-negative thing I can say about this place, except that there isn't one where I live, which is truly a tragedy. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm, friendly atmosphere and some of the best service you'll ever experience. The staff is welcoming, attentive, and makes you feel like family. The restaurant itself is spotless--cleanliness is clearly a top priority, and it shows. Now, let's talk about the food. Oh. My. Goodness. Words cannot do justice to how unbelievably scrumptious everything is. Every single item on the menu is crafted to absolute perfection. The flavors are rich, the ingredients are fresh, and the portions are generous. It's the kind of comforting, satisfying food that makes you forget about all of life's troubles for a little while. I don't just eat here--I indulge. I easily spend over $100 on food every time I visit because there is simply no way to resist ordering everything I crave. If I could eat here every day, I would. It's more than just a restaurant; it's an experience. The only downside? The fact that I can't take this place home with me. If you haven't been here yet, stop what you're doing and go. Trust me--you'll never look at food the same way again. read more

Food is great, but the waitress??? She says would you like hummus for the table, we said sure, was made to sound complimentary, I ordered the boneless chicken many many times, when it came it was swimming in pink stuff? It was still good so I ate it, didn't complain, when she came back, and forgot our to go order, i asked her what was the sauce? Our lemon oregano she replied, I didn't order it? No I just thought you would like! When I got home and looked at my bill, she also charged me for the sauce, That I did not want and did not order, my point check your bill before you pay, I paid for sauce I did not order or want, it's a small charge but that's beside the point, who decided what goes on my food because she thought I'd like it? read more

There hair in the food the food took five hours my belly was hurting the whole day I ordered the burger and the whole thing is here fuck you

Well the food is pretty average and the fact that this is one of the places that serves the shrimp fully clothed ( not deviened, with tail off) I mean it's like hey it is what it is... but if you're a picky eater I wouldn't recommend it read more

The food is excellent we had a group of eight people everybody had something different. I think think the deboned chicken is the best. The lemon chicken soup is delicious. The lamb Kafka is excellent. We have been going to this restaurant for many years and have maintained their quality. The service is truly exceptional. read more

Big location. Everyone can easily stay spaced out here. The tables in the main dining area are spread apart as well. They are so busy with carry out orders but still gave us decent enough service tonight. Took our order and dropped off our food oh and to drop off the bill. They have the QR code on the table for their menu. All places should do this so you don't have to touch a dirty and grimy menu or print out paper menus all day every day either. We ordered the combination for two with only chicken kebabs, chicken kafta, chicken breast, lamb and chicken shawarma, large salad, hummus. The combo makes it simple for our order. We are quite hungry since our earlier spot didn't work out as they didn't practice social distancing at all. Oh dear, they have a pita oven, can't have any bread, makes me so sad. We had to pass on the fresh pita. The house salad was crisp and fresh. The dressing is a nice vinaigrette. The sizable platter was out within 5-7 minutes of ordering or so. The chicken kafta meat is the most flavorful and nicely grilled too. The chicken breast, chicken kebabs were cooked but rather dry. A marinade might have given it a bit of flavor and moisture too. The lamb shawarma meat is tasty and moist too. The chicken shawarma meat was moist but too bland. The half hummus was okay, bland and not the creamiest or smoothest either. The meats all come on a mound of rice, we couldn't eat that either. Gave up all the bad for us carbs. It's a good deal for $39.21, you get quite a bit of food and some leftovers too. read more

The food is authentic and SO good. Great flavor, bold but balanced. Service is very courteous as well. On our second visit, our group of 3 noticed an automatic 18% gratuity on each of our checks. Bit of a bummer surprise. ALLERGY: We told the waiter no nuts or almonds, but there must have been residue from almonds on the food, because my body reacted slowly but surely to something on the otherwise delicious lamb chop. Got puffy lips, watery eyes, scratchy throat, and still having a queasy stomach hours later =/ Disappointing. Otherwise, AMAZING food. read more

Best middle eastern food I've encountered downriver! I've dined-in pre-covid times and the food is always delicious and the staff is phenomenal. This review I'm writing as I just experienced the online order/take out (active covid times) experience and can happily say the quality of the food is just as great as dining in! The staff is all wearing masks/cleaning / has a designated to-go food table that only they can touch AND they will not serve customers if not wearing a mask. I felt very safe with the handling of COVID at this business. I can't recommend this place enough - large portions, delicious food, and great staff. Do yourself a favor and order extra so you can have leftovers! :) I ordered the Vegetarian Gallayah and Shish Tawook (+lemon oregano) for myself and was able to get 2-3 meals out of each entree. These are my go-to's every time and they're always great! read more

Hard pass. Dining area was not clean and the prices were outrageous. We just could not get past the cleanliness issue. I am willing to pay more if the restaurant is clean and employees attentive.

I'm going to start this review saying that this used to be my very favorite Arab food restaurant in the Metro Detroit area. I used to love their food and we ate there very regularly. We would mostly get take out, and even though they messed up the orders on multiple occasions, and the quality would sometimes drop, we stuck with them. Until recently. Since the pandemic, their service and prices have been ridiculous. I get that prices have increased, but they seemed to be the first to set the new high bar in price for Arab food. I placed an order last night over the phone and was quoted a price that was higher than the usual price for what we ordered just last year. They quoted $59.33, which is at least $5 more than what I paid last year WITH the tip. Frustrating, but that's the state of the ogliarchy. So, I go to pick it up, and I'm quoted over $66 dollars without tip. I told them this was not what I was quoted and he just argued with me politely. I told them they could keep the food and walked out. I have been a loyal customer of this place and sang their praises for years, but never again. I'm done paying more money so they can pay all of their cousins and brothers to stand around while they only have 2 or 3 tables of customers. I wonder why they're not doing the business they used to... what a mystery. read more
