Nice ambiance, rude service, a bit taken back by the unnecessary sarcasm. The food was dry and lacked seasoning. 4 veggie grape leaf rolls for $8. They were the best thing about the restaurant. The mint lemonade was decent. I'd skip right by this establishment and find something else the next time that I'm In Trenton.

My wife and I stopped in today for lunch. I ordered a half fattoush with chicken and a bowl of crushed lentil soup. My wife ordered vegetables lamb soup and enjoyed it. The lentil soup was very good and the chicken was quite good as well. The fattoush had way too much pita for my liking, and the dressing headed quite sweet for me. Overall, it's pretty decent, but i think there are better Mediterranean restaurants around.

Veggie Grape Leaves (cold)

This spot just opened a month or so ago and you can tell. They are experiencing some pains with first opening, but overall this spot is good and I am excited to try out more of their menu. We tried Malek Al-Kabob twice. The first time, was not good only because they forgot my veggie grape leaves TWICE. I don't eat meat and my bf and I ordered falafel and veggie grape leaves. I always get paranoid that places will mess up my order and made my bf double check these were the veggie grape leaves and not the meat ones. He asked the staff because they knotted the carry out bag so tight you couldn't easily open it without ripping it. When we got home, they were the meat ones so we called back, told them what happened, and they told us to come back and they would give us the veggie ones we ordered at no cost. My bf went to go pick them up and was assured again by staff they were veggie ones. Well, when he got home, they were NOT veggie ones and meat ones again. I was so mad I wanted to cry. I was so hungry and looking forward to these and now I couldn't even eat them. Dare we try again? A few weeks later, after we picked up cheesy breadsticks from Del's Pizzeria (check out my other review), we stopped in for a veggie grape leaves redemption and placed an order. Third time's a charm, because they got it right and gave us the veggie grape leaves this time. I explained what happened previously and they didn't charge us. These were really good. nice ratio of lemon, rice, fresh herbs, tomato. Even though they are served cold, I like to heat them up and think they taste better. And the grape leaves are pretty big. The grape leaves from Taza Fresh Grill are half the size (honestly the size of my pinky finger), 8 for $10. At Malek Al-Kabob you get 8 large grape leaves for $12.99 (I think). Either way, it's a good deal. Bottom line, give these guys a break. They are newly opened, super busy, and working through it all. When they mess up, they fix it and that's all I can ask for. The falafel is really good and the grape leaves are delicious. Shish Garden is our favorite for salmon salads, deboned chicken, and hummus, but the garlic sauce there is STRONG! The garlic sauce at Malek Al-Kabob is subtle, yet flavorful (and you don't have to cancel the rest of your day and hibernate from garlic breath). I will definitely be going back to Malek Al-Kabob. The dining room is very nice, they did a good job on the decor and the bathrooms are clean. Service is good, the staff are very friendly and nice, I just think they are so busy that mistakes are made.

The food was amazing and plentiful! No one leaves hungry. The young lady, Maria who waited on us was so nice and went above and beyond. I would recommend coming here and enjoying an amazing meal with amazing service.

The restaurant itself is very simple looking inside, but clean and spacious enough. The menu offers either sandwiches or bowls and a large variety of condiments to customize your order. The amount of variety is overwhelming at first, but I find keeping it simple is the best way to go. I ended up getting the chicken cream chop with bulgur wheat as my base (trying to keep it healthy) and added some basic vegetables with pickles. I had it drizzled with Princess sauce which was really good even if I can't describe what it tasted like at this moment. While I was dining the owner asked me how I was enjoying my meal and he offered me a small sample of the beef shawarma at no additional cost. I'm not kidding when I say that this is the best beef shawarma meat I've had in Michigan. The beef was so crispy on the outside, tender on the inside and had a nice mix of lean meat laced with fat. He even let me get a free cup of tzatziki sauce to dip it in, which was generous on his part. I almost forgot to mention that the fried chicken here is exceptional and cooked fresh to order in my case. Seeing how passionate the owner is, it makes sense why the food is as good as it is and why they are highly regarded. Wish they were closer to me.

I got the chicken kebab entree with rice, lentil soup and a small tabouli. The rice was good, the chicken was a way over charred. Literal crunchy black layer. There was not a good amount of vegetables. The tabouli was VERY TASTY, I loved that. And the Lentil soup was very runny almost like chicken noodle soup. But the lentils was very aroma and still tasted very yummy, just not as filling as a thicker lentil. I was given like 4 pita breads and a garlic also with the meal. The restaurant looked clean inside. I won't be back to this restaurant only because I've had way better for around the same price or less, but if this was my first time trying Mediterranean food I may be back only because in that case I wouldn't be knowledgeable enough about what flavors to look for in these dishes. Thank you for the meal though! I will be eating it all. PS. Walking to the door of the restaurant is a giant lip in the sidewalk and my partners toe was injured because it stubbed.

Still the best around period. Hadn't been here for a while. A lot of newer Mediterranean places…read morehave opened the last few years that are closer, but still none better.
