It's colorful and the lady's are Friendly there. The food was beyond what i expected. Meat top teir ! Rice good great flavors and I gotta go back To Try a wrap.

    On Monday, a coworker showed up to lunch with this enormous shawarma bowl. Then Friday came around, and this same coworker was asking people if they also wanted something. I ordered from the app, which was simple and easy to use. I selected the stake salad bowl with spicy garlic, tomatoes, cucumbers, beets, feta, and cheese. As mentioned, the portions are large and worth the cost. I had a few issues with my salad. I could not taste any garlic let alone spicy garlic. The tomatoes tasted bad like they were old or frozen then thawed. I had to pick them out before I ate. Based on my coworker's cheese amount, it appears I got a half portion because I ordered two cheeses. Lastly, the steak was not what I expected. Though I had issues with my order the food was good and I will be ordering from here again. I want to try their grilled chicken and a French fry salad sounds delicious. Will update after my next visit.

    My Big Fat Shawarma is a quick eat-in or carryout restaurant serving the popular Middle East street food in varieties such as pita wrapped, salad, fries, or with yellow rice. The restaurant is owned by a Black American woman. It is located on East 8 Mile Road, just east of Dequindre surrounded by lots of shopping and fast food restaurants. I was happy to find a healthier choice for lunch. I ordered the salad, as I mentioned, there are other bases (step 1) to choose from. You also choose your meat variety (step 2), either chicken, steak or falafel; your toppings (step 3), and then your sauce, step 4. Toppings include: lettuce, tomato, pickles, beets, tabbouleh, pita chips, cucumber, chickpeas, and pickled onion among a few others. The sauces consist of the usual flavors found at most shawarma restaurants. I chose garlic and their signature "Fat Sauce", it was super yummy. If you choose, you can also select their signature bowls, salads, or wraps. Menu items with the ingredients pre-crafted. You may order extras of any items. There are also sides: fries, pita chips, hummus, falafel, and rice. Chicken Lemon soup, drinks including a few varieties of lemonade, desserts - churros, baklava, cheese cake and layer cake slices, I had the cherry lemonade. It was the perfect sweet/tart compliment to my savory salad. Catering is also available. The restaurant is located in a strip of stores. There is plenty of parking. Payments accepted include, cash, credit/debit, and tap pay. They are available on Doordash, Grubhub, and Uber Eats.

    The workers were so nice and gave good recommendations. Once you walk in, you can build your own bowl, or they do have bowls on the menu. The options to put inside the bowl is very wide. The bowl is bigger than my hand and they fill it up all the way ‍. I think it took me three days to finish and the flavors coming together at once completed it. I do recommend to get your sauces on the side. I wish I did that because I don't think I would've even got the sauce, because it was THAT good.

    I cannot say a bad thing about MBFS! The vibe is always welcoming, there is always amazing music playing and the people/service are just the best!! And the food!! Hands down top tier! From the wraps to the bowls, the food is always hot and fresh! The wraps are humungous and the bowls match! You can easily get 2-3 servings from each. The veggies are always fresh and the sauce is magnifique! I always enjoy my food and the experience and I stop in and I suggest everyone R-U-N to My Big Fat Shawarma!!

    Big Fat Chicken Bowl with aside of spicy Fat Sauce. EXCELLENT!!!

    This place is always amazing. All foods are fresh and Bursting with a Punch of flavors. Only reason I have them 4 stars and not 5 is because they were out of Churros the last two time I came. Love the chocolate filled treats.

    A lot of food for a "decent" price. It CAN get price but when you see how much food you get, the price can be over looked.

    I saw a video of Hot Off The Grill on TikTok and seen they were doing a special price on their…read morecombo platter for 5 which is regular $75 but only $45 until the end of the year. I ordered ahead (around 2pm) and was told it would be ready in 20 minutes, we arrived promptly and it was ready to go. I did ask on the phone if it came with garlic paste (toum) and was told no but could be purchased at an additional cost so I asked for a large garlic. However, when I arrived I was told they were suddenly out for the day - which was disappointing. Also for this huge platter - it only came with 4 pita breads, I feel a whole pack of pita would've been more sufficient. Now onto the food itself, the platter weighed around 5-7 pounds! It came with yellow rice, white rice, and barley. The meats consisted of: beef kabob (3), chicken kabob (3), chicken shawarma, beef sharwarma, chicken tikka (cubed marinated chicken breast) and chicken cream chop (breaded chicken)... all very well proportioned. They were cooked perfectly and flavorful. It also came with a side of salad they labeled as "fattoush" but it's just a plain salad (fattoush comes with fried pita chips and a sumac/lemon/oil dressing) this had no dressing on it or on the side. It also came with turshi (pickled cabbage, beets, turnips and jalapeños). Overall, very tasty and great price right now - worth it! Highly recommend!

    First and last time ordering from here. Tried to pass off kroger quality pita as "hot fresh pita"…read moreWhat a disappointment. They also refused to refund my money!
