Mr Shawarma and BBQ - Middle Eastern Near Me - Trenton, Michigan

We were picking up some supplies from TSC and it was just hitting lunch time - perfect to try out Mr Shawarma and BBQ, especially since we aren't in Trenton very often. We were greeted warmly when we walked in and placed our order at the counter. This place seems to be mainly do take-out orders - we saw a number of parties pick up food, but we were the only ones to sit down to eat. Oh well, more room for us! Poutine, Small ($9.99) - This is a gigantic plate of poutine - although I think they accidentally gave us a large instead of the small. There's plenty of hot gravy served on top of cheese curds and fries. The fries are commercial and fried to a crisp, but the parts that touch the gravy immediately turn limp. The curds are definitely not fresh ones - they are quite soft with no bounce or chew. As you eat, the cheese melts into the gravy, causing a good amount of cheese pull the every time you lift your fork up. The gravy is pretty flavorful and has good consistency. Best of all, it's not overly salty, so it's very easy to eat this dish. While it's not the best poutine you can find, it's better than a lot of other places this side of the river. (4/5) Chicken Shawarma Plate ($19.99) - I was wondering why this was so expensive and then I saw the plate come out - it's huge platter of meat, rice and sides. More than enough to feed two comfortably. The chicken shawarma, made mainly of chicken thighs, is moist and flavorful, a result of slowly cooking on a rotating spit. This also allows fantastic crisped up bits to develop on the exterior skin. On the spit, you can actually see pieces of chicken fat right at the top, which allows the juices to run down the chicken as it spins. The meat is spiced well but the natural chicken flavor still comes through. Tahini is drizzled on top, which adds a nuttiness that complements the spices and chicken flavor. (5/5) The shawarma is served on a bed of yellow rice. It's fluffy, salted quite a bit, probably cooked in chicken broth. It has a bit more moisture and is softer than the typical Lebanese rice, but is serviceable for the dish. Unlike a lot of other places, there's no slivered almonds or vermicelli to add variety. (4/5) On the side is a pile of batata harra (spicy potatoes). In this case, not spicy at all, but with a fragrant herbal blend fried on the exterior. The potato pieces are quite large here - it seems like medium sized potatoes that are cut into eighths. The exterior has a skin developed from being pan fried in oil, but it doesn't crisp up all that much. The inside is nice and fluffy, and encourages you to dip it in the hummus or toum. (4/5) The potatoes are served on (and topped by) house made toum (garlic). The toum here is fluffy and a bit lemony, but not overpowering. The taste of the garlic is a bit muted like it's been diluted by egg whites or potato. I prefer a thicker and more paste-like toum, but for a fluffy toum, this one isn't bad. (4/5) On another quadrant of the plate lies a couple of spoonfuls of hummus. This is the one item on the plate that I didn't enjoy at all. They are very heavy with the tahini, making the hummus very nutty but also adding a dose of bitter flavor. The hummus is very soft and smooth with no coarse bits of chickpea at all. I didn't like the flavor profile of this hummus. (2/5) Finally, there's a salad served on the side, with radish, red cabbage, lettuce, cucumber, and tomato. The sumac based dressing here seems to be made in house, resulting in one that feels a bit more acidic than others I've had. The salad is pretty heavily dressed, resulting in quite a bit of extra liquid on the bottom of the plate that leaks and mixes with the hummus and garlic potatoes. Still the veggies are crisp and other than that small mishap, the salad is refreshing. (4/5) As we were enjoying our food, I overheard a couple ordering spicy toum for their shawarma sandwiches. I asked about it and got a sample as we got up and left. Can't wait to try it, given how good the spicy toum is at other places! One thing I found strange is that none of the food is served with pita. It's noticeably missing. I'm lucky to live around so much great Middle Eastern food in Dearborn. Mr Shawarma and BBQ isn't a spot I'd go back to again, simply because of how far of a drive it is and the other options that are much closer to me. If you're in Trenton or nearby, however, Mr. Shawarma is an easy recommend. Note: They charge a 3% credit card fee.

Service was great food was not didn't even finish it just tossed it even the salad dressing was lacking favor.

In town for a few days, found this gem on yelp. I had the Meat Shwarma plate. It was so good that I came back the next day for more. This time i had the lunch plate. Really happy with the food and service. read more

Great spot to stop by when you do not want to cook Monday dinner for yourself and Hubby. Shawarma's made fresh and you can have it made your way! The salads looked super fresh (all the offerings look fresh), so I ordered a side of tabouli... yummy! My meat Shawarma was delicious and Hubby was pleased with his chicken shawarma. Oh, I did the combo so had fries and drinks too. read more

The BEST hummus and Baba Ganoush we have ever had. Also had the chicken shawarmas which were also delish!!

Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Great falafel and the best Poutine this side of Montreal! read more

Mr Shawarma and BBQ - Poutine - Middle Eastern Near Me - Trenton, Michigan

I'm a truck driver and was delivering at the Tractor Supply in the shopping center. I walked over on the recommendation of the center owner and I am so happy I did. Aside from the fact that the food was outstanding- the owner and his family made the stop 100% worth it. They took the time to tell me exactly how they prepare and cook their food. I never write reviews but this place 100% deserved it. They were so so good to me. Shout out to the owner for the way he took care of me. I'm going to request this stop as much as possible just so I can go back here. It's rare that your food looks exactly how it does in the advertisements but I mean look at this plate! read more

We just discovered this little gem a few weeks ago and I am so glad to have another great Lebanese restaurant downriver. The food is delicious and the prices are decent. The shawarma's are so good, and I like being able to choose which toppings go into my sandwich. The restaurant is clean, and the service is exceptional. There are a few Middle Eastern restaurants in the downriver area, and this is one of the best. read more

I hired Red (the owner of Mr. Shawarma and BBQ) to cater my husband's 50th birthday celebration and he and his staff went above and beyond! They brought the shawarma machines to set up in the yard and cooked the meat and chicken onsite. Everything was delicious and fresh ( I had not had Lebanese food this good since being in the Middle East), and many guests went back for seconds and thirds! Highly recommend for any event! read more

This place has the BEST food! Even my picky eater likes it! The workers are always so polite and easy to talk to as well as the owner. you can tell he's put his heart and soul not only into the design of this place but also his menu and staff. perfect setting for a nice date night or even a group of friends. you MUST give it a try!!!! read more

Went here because it was near the hospital. We shared a mixed meat combo and a chicken shawarma. PHENOMENAL!!! The garlic lemon potatoes, the juicy and delicious meats, the fluffy buttery rice, the hummus, the garlic, it was all good. I cannot believe it has taken me so long to come here but I will definitely be going back. A man I assume was the owner was more than engaging and was very proud of the restaurant and I can definitely see why. Smaller dining area but it was extremely clean and welcoming. Definitely try this place! read more

Drove by this places for years and never tried it. The meat plate is more than youd pay for take out, but it's worth it. I've went back more than once for that alone. The meat is cooked *perfectly*, The chicken is good but the meat is my favorite. Generous portions of garlic as well. The salad had huge chunks of tomato, and the dressing on the side. Potatoes were crispy. I get so much food that the next day I'm excited for my leftovers. It also tasted just as good reheated. I would give it a five star aside from the fact that I've only tried the one thing multiple times. Service was good. read more

Picked-up carry out from this establishment for dinner today. It is very good. I had the mixed shawarma and shish tawook sandwiches (ate half of each sandwich, so leftovers for tomorrow), as well as the garlic potatoes. All were great. I could eat the sandwiches all day long. My son had the shish tawook dinner with rice and really enjoyed it. And, my wife had lentil soup and the chicken salad and enjoyed her meal. She also told me that the owner is very personable. Glad to have this Lebanese restaurant in our community. We will be returning. read more

The chicken in the chicken shawarma was gross. It honestly tasted like canned chicken.

Just walked in after a long day at work to grab a quick bite to eat and got the mixed shawarma. It was very satisfying and delicious exactly what I was looking for. The place is small the workers are a little quite but overall good experience. read more

Let me start by saying the food is great, literally zero complaints. Today I called in for our second time takeout. Super simple order, including a "Large Garlic" which is $9 and a rather generous serving. I specifically said "garlic & pita" on the phone, and upon picking up my order I was handed one piece. I assumed that purchasing a giant bowl of garlic and saying "& pita bread" following, I'd be given more than literally one. Since they were busy, the employee who looks like she's constantly having a bad day (even our first time around) snapped at me that I need to specify that I want more than one pita, & that it doesn't come with it. She wrapped one more up and hands it to me. I mean is it really assumed that my family is going to just eat this giant bowl of garlic with a spoon? I have so many questions. Anyway, maybe a quarter of the $9 bowl of garlic is gone and my kids have one piece of pita each. Customers don't need to specify anything. It's up to the employees to educate when there's miscommunication. I legitimately don't know what Mr.Shawarma believes it's customers are going to do with large quantities of a Garlic dip with zero pita. And that we "must specify". At least be kind to your public, your establishment is too beautiful with great food, to have such a face in store & over the phone. That's always my first impression, and I'm sure many will agree. read more
