    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! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe is always welcoming, there is always amazing music playing and the people/service are just the best!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

    While cruising through the heart of Royal Oak, I noticed this little deli shop, calling my name…read morepast apartment buildings and local scenery. They have an extensive menu to include vegetarian options which was nice to see. They also have many local brands to include chips, sodas, and other small local business products (caramelized nuts, baked goods, etc.)! On the topic of local businesses, they also had a board which allowed local owners to post business cards and event alerts, fantastic for drawing the community together. Now, I ordered a Reuben as a lover of corned beef and sauerkraut. It was delicious and sizeable, a fair portion size for the money as well. The chips were also delicious having gone for the salt, pepper, and onion variety. A solid crunch and bursting with flavor. Among the positives I have two negatives, both of which are not adequate enough to lower their star ranking. Firstly, it took around 20-25 minutes to get our food after ordering. I rarely hold timing against a restaurant as having worked in food, I know lunch rush exists and things happen. To mitigate this (for those in the area) I believe they have an online ordering system, which I would recommend utilizing! Secondly, they do not have indoor seating, so it is a very grab and go type establishment. This is counteracted by the multitude of benches around Royal Oak, though it would be nice to have some amount of seating, especially for those with accessibility needs and those waiting on their food. Overall, Oak House Deli is solid and delicious and I will definitely stop by again when I am in the area!

    Stopped into Oak House Deli and ordered The Conflicted Reuben and The Italian--and wow, fresh…read moregoodness delivered straight into our very hungry mouths. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, packed with flavor, and generously portioned. You can tell these sandwiches are made with care (and not skimpy on the good stuff). Wicked good value for what you get, and even better--served up by genuinely kind people. Always makes a difference. We'll absolutely be back!!
