After quickly reading another review here on Yelp highlighting the uniqueness of this restaurant relative to the cookie-cutter corporate food options abound, I decided to detour off I-94 on my way back to Ann Arbor and pop into Pangea Global Kitchen. To say I was "overwhelmed" would be an understatement, as I was taken COMPLETELY off guard by Deanna who, upon my entering, offered to give me a personalized tour of the deli case and menu board as well as samples of some of the fan faves. Her enthusiasm and warmth came so naturally that I asked her "Is this your place?", to which she replied "Nope, I wish!" Turns out she was moonlighting to help out family, passionate about the food being created here, and just a born natural at putting people at ease with her kind and friendly personality. I ordered the Asian Chicken Soup, the Eggplant with Lamb and a side fattoush salad, and grabbed some meat grape leaves to go. The soup had strong Pho-vibes with distinct flavors of ginger and star anise and the eggplant was tender and juicy with an unctuous filling of lamb, tomatoes, and Middle Eastern spices. The salad was super fresh, crisp and balanced with an excellent homemade dressing. Rumor has it Pangea Global Kitchen is also big on catering as well, which may come in handy in the future. BOTTOM LINE: Whatever they're putting in the food at Pangea Global Kitchen, the World needs more of it. read more

I came for a sandwich but ended up with the best butter chicken I've had. I tried the lasagna and it was fantastic as well. The hummus and pita chips were great. Everything was fresh and bursting with flavor. I can't wait to come back and try something else. The staff was genuine and beyond friendly. read more

So so good. We split a butter chicken, had majidra and sampled a signature musakhan. I'd eat this everyday if it made sense read more

Today, I ordered buttered chicken, pita chips, and baklava. The buttered chicken had a slightly sweet taste. I wasn't expecting it. The naan was fresh. The chips were garlicky, and the dessert was perfect! read more

The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful! They welcomed me in and gave me a tour of the deli case. I was given a warm sample of the lasagna and invited to try a pita chip and grape leaf from the trays on the counter. I ordered the Butter Chicken dinner, some garlic sauce, a bag of their house made pita chips, and I couldn't resist a Dubai chocolate chip cookie. I enjoyed everything and have plenty for lunch tomorrow. Their Teacher Appreciation Week promotion brought me in, but I will definitely be back! read more

Wow wow wow! From the moment we stepped in til the moment we left our experience at Pangea Global Kitchen was a 20/10! First and foremost the gentleman with locs who was working had by far the best customer service I have ever experienced. You can tell he takes such pride in Pangea and the food that they make. Immediately we were greeted so warmly and kindly and were offered free samples of their lasagna and falafel. The falafel was a 10/10 and my husband (who ONLY likes my mom's lasagna) was immediately in love with their lasagna. That is the only lasagna outside of my mom's that he has ever liked. In fact- his face lit up he LOVED it! He ordered a chicken shawarma and I ordered their falafel wrap. My falafel wrap was FULL and so was his chicken shawarma. They are so generous with their portions! My husband gave the chicken shawarma a 9/10 and I give my falafel wrap a 10/10. So so good. We also got a tub of their garlic sauce and it was by far the best garlic sauce I've ever had in my life. It's genuinely so good. It's got the perfect amount of sharpness from the garlic while remaining balanced in other flavor with the perfect consistency. We were so full when we were finished eating.... But my husband just couldn't stop thinking about their lasagna. So we left for a couple of hours and ran some errands and talked about the lasagna the entire time we were gone. We decided we couldn't wait so we made our way back to Pangea and ordered 2 lasagnas to go home with! They came with a beautiful salad as well. I have to say the portion size of the lasagna is unbelievable. It is SOOOO generous!!! A huge huge huge slice of lasagna is what they give you. Anyone reading this review- please please please go to Pangea Global Kitchen the next time you're in the area. We live almost an hour away and are already planning our next visit - just to eat their food. read more

At location of Lyla's which I'm missing :( New restaurant with variety of ethnic dishes. Inside there are no tables this is strictly takeout. Tried the falafel wrap. Was good but missing pickles which is a necessity for this in my opinion. Tomato Kibee was ok. Lacked chunky tomato which i feel it truly needed for flavor. In short, For middle eastern dishes there are better restaurants in area. read more

Tried this for the first time, and we were blown away! Everyone was so polite and friendly and very informative about the dishes. The food was excellent, amazing flavors. They even accommodated us sitting down inside though there's no lunch tables. Can't wait to go back! read more

Wow, amazing! The staff was super friendly from the time we walked through the entrance to grabbing pistachio- chocolate cookies to go. The vegan Grape leaves were best I've tasted ( and I've had some really good ones in Europe and Florida) and the Lamb lunch special was out of this world. My buddies Butter Chicken was mouth watering and he went back before we left to do carry out for dinner. It's that Good!! read more

From the second we walked in, they treated us like family. From samples of the most amazing soup I've ever tasted, to plated samples of everything on their menu. She not only showed us each menu item, but explained in detail everything they have to offer. So friendly and cheery. The energy is unmatched anywhere else! Can't wait to come back! read more

I've traveled all over the world - India, Sicily, the Middle East and beyond - and I can honestly say the dishes at Pangea Global hold their own in terms of authenticity and depth of flavor. Highly recommend everything on their menu. This is the best dining establishment in Grosse Pointe by a long shot! read more

All the food is very good, especially their wraps. Hummus and pita chips very good. I made use of the curbside pickup and it was so quick and convenient! read more

Tried for the first time tonight. It was amazing! The mushroom soup was the best I've ever had and perfect comfort food for this cold night. Hummus was fantastic and I usually get it from Dearborn but not anymore now that this is close by. And lastly the chicken Caesar wrap was a perfect balance of flavor and texture. Can't wait to go back for more read more

From the minute we walked in, we were welcomed with hospitality from the entire staff. The food was absolutely delicious, and we tried multiple items. The béchamel lasagna, the veggie wrap, Asian gluten free noodle soup, chicken shawarma.... Everything was deep and rich with flavor. Bravo Pangea! read more

I've been ordering from here regularly for the past few months and they never disappoint. The chicken shawarma is perfectly seasoned and tender, and their garlic sauce is addictive--I always ask for extra. The falafel comes out crispy on the outside and fluffy inside every single time. The staff is incredibly friendly when I pick up orders, and they're always ready right on time. You can tell they take real pride in their food. The flavors are authentic and they always offer a sample of something new or haven't tried yet. Highly recommend the mixed butter chicken if you want to try a bit of everything, or one of the soups if you're looking for something lighter. Their baklava is the perfect sweet finish too. This has become my go-to spot for global cuisine. Fresh ingredients, generous portions, fair prices, and consistently delicious. Can't ask for more than that! read more

I think i speak for everyone when I say that I am absolutely sick and tired of corporate/chain restaurants that have zero personality. Places where the atmosphere is bland, everything is glass and stainless steel and you have to interact with a computer screen because corporations would rather force their customers to work as an unpaid cashier because customer service is no longer a core value. I am also tired of getting garbage products for maximum money. The word "Value" has literally been lost. How refreshing it was to walk into a place that felt friendly and home-like. A family run restaurant where they greet you at the door. A place where they offer samples of all their food, and can't wait to see you try it. FINALLY....Some incredible food for reasonable prices. I almost forgot what value was until I walked in here. Definitely recommend tk everyone. You will NOT be disappointed. I can even recommend a dish because it was all amazing. read more

The signature dishes were very tasty! The shawarma, roles, and salad.. I must come back and try the butter chicken.

First time in and absolutely loved it! Fantastic service, helpful, friendly and offered advice when asked and free samples! The food was excellent! Mushroom soup and butter chicken wrap and I loved it. read more

Clean, fast and fresh! Get the hummus and the grape leaves. And schwarma. And lasagna. Just get it all. Definitely will be trying more grab n go meals. read more

Once again, Pangea did not disappoint. We ordered the vegetarian grape leaves and they were absolutely out of this world. They even threw in the cucumber dip, which was amazing. We also had the Greek salad and tried both of their dressings and honestly, they should bottle them. The service is incredibly kind and welcoming. Such a great experience from start to finish. Can't wait to go back again. read more

This place is nothing short of phenomenal. Every item on the menu that I've tried has been delicious and the staff are incredibly friendly. I've been here plenty of times and will continue to do so. Looking forward to getting the butter chicken shawarma next time read more

Food is tasty but it's so expensive. You can't feed a family for under 50 bucks like you can from a restaurant in Dearborn. They should at least throw in some pita bread! read more

So excited for a brick and mortar store! We started ordering food out of this lovely family's home during the pandemic and couldn't get enough. They are so kind and their food is DELICIOUS! Great variety, flavors and fresh ingredients read more

amazing food, amazing service!! My favorite hummus. Everything I've had is delicious!

As the Pangea name suggests, you'll find this store combines superb middle eastern cuisine paired with global favorites. It's friendly staff, free samples and reasonable pricing make this a great addition to the local scene for either a quick meal or take out. The flavors of everything we had were outstanding. Fresh Tabouli Salad, as good as we've had in the ME, went great with the Lamb Eggplant Lamb Boat. The Majidra paired with the cucumber sauce is outstanding, and along with the Orzo salad is a wonderful meal in itself. We also loved the Sicilian Lasagna with bechamel sauce which came with a tasty lemon side salad salad, both of which were delicious. Even their falafel bites popped with flavor. While there are several other Mediterranean restaurants in Detroit along Mack or in the Pointes that we've liked, the freshness and combination of flavors and spices found here have quickly made this our top choice now. Highly recommend you try it. read more

I can't get enough of this place! Everything I have had is to die for! I'm super excited about their weekly meals for the family! Will certainly be back soon!! Amazing service too! read more

Truly the BEST shawarma around! Always friendly staffed, fresh food and very clean place! So fortunate to have such a great place nearby.

I thought I would miss Lyla's but Pangea has more than filled the loss. The food is fresh and delicious, the staff is very helpful and friendly. What I like best besides the soups and dinners is the fact that they'll let you sample their dishes so that something unfamiliar is not a complete surprise. Without any hesitation I recommend Pangea. I have come back again and again. read more

Never disappoints! Food is delicious; hummus, baba, tabuli, tomato kibbeh perfectly spiced, fresh and tasty. Salads are always fresh with chef made dressings. Special meals bring a global flavor to this little gem. We've tried everything from stuffed cabbage to burritos and we enjoyed all. The chef here is innovative, skilled in blending spices, and proves that cooking is an art. Carry-out only. Street Parking. read more

Ok what can I say but OMG!!! Bought several items and they are top-notch top quality flavorful deliciousness Potato salad out of this world I don't know the name of it, but it was the lentil with rice and fried onions and your drizzle their version of tzatziki. By no means am I vegetarian, but this was so flavorful I will get it again. Then there was a lasagna, their version phenomenal tasting! The tomato kibbee actually does taste him looks like kibbee nayee Thank you, thank you thank you will be seeing you again soon read more

Excellent flavors- enjoyed the entire order. The grape leaves and shawarma were excellent

I started to order meals from them when it was just out of their home kitchen. So excited to have them so close by! The lentil soup is my fav (even my kids love it) and my daughter says it's the best humus! Service is great and can't wait to try more of their food! read more
