This is my favorite restaurant to eat at when I'm in Hamtramck. The meat is always so fresh, tender and high-quality, the bed of rice is an incredibly generous, and the service is quick.! read more

Remas - Lamb over rice - Middle Eastern Near Me - Hamtramck, Michigan

I decided to give Remas another try after a friend mentioned she hadn't been there before. We both ordered the Chicken Shawarma ($5.99) and shared a Falafel Plate ($7.99). The Chicken Shawarma was a decent size and definitely filling. It came with pickles and a side of garlic sauce, but the sandwich itself was very dry. A little more sauce inside would have gone a long way in improving the flavor. Unfortunately, the Falafel Plate was disappointing. The falafel was hard and fairly bland, and the sauce had an overpowering tahini flavor that didn't balance the dish well. One additional note is that water isn't complimentary here, which was a bit surprising. While the staff were friendly, the food lacked flavor, so I won't be returning. read more

Straight to the point, Hafsa gets a five star.. Haneth gets a four. Definitely I'd recommend you try both. Portions are great for the value, place has plenty indoor seating. Food arrived quickly. We had a couple traditional plates, and a couple shawarmas. If we're in the area we'd try again. read more

Decided to try this place based on good Yelp reviews. It did not disappoint! Yemen food is new to me, so we got recommendations from our waiter. I have no idea what I ate (lamb/potato stew-like something) but it was delish! Also beef schwarma salad. Opted for dessert and had a yummy date, bread, heavy whipping cream, honey drizzle dish and I was so glad to have tried it. It was so good! I love trying new-to-me food and Remas did not disappoint. Food was yummy and service was kind and helpful. I look forward to coming back and trying more dishes! read more

This place is so good it's hard to explain in words. I was in Michigan visiting family, and we made the trek to Hamtramck to go to Remas. I hadn't had Yemeni food before, but being from the SF Bay Area I had assumed that the middle eastern food I've had back home would be comparable. I was very wrong - I didn't know what I was missing until I came here, and now I crave Yemeni food. The restaurant itself is pretty big and was packed with families and friends eating dinner. We ordered a bunch of food including some chicken, hummus, a salad, and bread. Everything was so fresh and delicious, but the thing I was not prepared for is this garlic sauce. I think it's just whipped raw garlic or something to that effect. It's definitely not for the faint of heart if you're not a fan of garlic, but I am and I honestly could have eaten it straight. We demolished a relatively large plate of it and I would have asked for more, but the portions of the entrees we got were so big we couldn't eat anymore. Also there's a dispenser of hot chai by the register and you shouldn't bypass it. I love chai and theirs is great with or without milk in it. Next time I'm in Michigan I'll definitely be back, potentially more than once just to get that garlic sauce. read more

Remas restaurant is such a GREAT place for Arab and North African people! The food has always been exceptional the service was always excellent. It also has great ambiance! It's not like some Yemeni restaurants that are tiny and cramped. read more

I love just about everything meal I've tried here. Some of my favorites are the house salad, fahsa, and beef kafta. The service is quick and efficient. I often dont have to wait long which is nice. They recently updated the inside of their building to a more modern feel. The only complaint I would have is hoping that they would reupholster some of the seats in the restaurants have permanent damage to the cushions. Sometimes we go there to visit with people for a while. Yet the seats make you want to not sit that long to talk. read more

A good yemenese restaurant. i used to know and go to Sheeba in Dearborn for Yemenese. Remas is also very good like Sheeba. Really liked my Haneeth and lamb soup. i certainly recommend this place. read more

This place is the real deal for Yemeni food and cuisine. I always get the Saltah (veggie version) with assorted Yemeni bread and pepper sauce. It hits the spot with either their house made tea or their mango juice. It's located heart of downtown and many different people come here. One thing to note is to pay at the counter once you're done. read more

I ordered a Fahsah to go and they charged me for it never gave it to me I travelled 1 hour from flint get there and still don't get my order right Im still going to go but they shouldn't charge me for something and don't give it to me !!!! read more

Excellent food excellent service a great experience. Preparation and presentation were flawless read more

Great flavors, fresh food. I am a vegetarian and the grilled vegetables with hummus are a healthy flavorful meal option. My daughter loves the chicken shawarma sandwich and the price. In my 3 weeks in Hamtramck I went there 4 times! read more

Remas - Hummus and Grilled vegetables - Middle Eastern Near Me - Hamtramck, Michigan

Review pertains only to the chicken schwama. It was very salty and dry. It felt like I was possibly eating chicken bones due to the hardness. I was hungry due to a few beers at the Hamtramck Labor Day fest.. That said, likely would not order again.. read more

Ordered a spicy Fahsa with chicken, a mixed white beans and fava beans, a large fatoosh with no pita and a large hummus. It's been here for a couple of years, still looks new. It's a decent size place inside, there's a private room for a party. Smells of a very potent air freshener. My bill total was $33.88. I assume it's the beans and the fahsa that takes so long to make. The Mixed mean is not bad, flavorful. The spicy chicken fahsa is very comfort food like. Has a ton of flavor and good spice to it. They gave me signs of jalapeño sauce and that kicks up the Fahsa to an even higher level for me. It tastes delicious. The pita packets came piping hot and are still warm after the drive home. They have actual pockets and were nice and fluffy. The salad tastes as expected. The hummus was not bad, slightly bland, but tasted good. The rest of the food made my meal. The food here is on point and everything tastes really good. I have only been to a handful of Yemeni restaurants, but it's my favorite so far. I found my favorite middle eastern in the metropolitan area. Will definitely be back for more of this good stuff. read more

This food is SO GOOD. I highly recommend a platter/tray if you have a few people to feed. It's a very generous amount of food for a great price. Shawarma are also wonderful. Plenty of parking, and the staff is very nice. read more

Excellent Yemeni spot in Hamtramck. I went once before the restaurants went on indoor dinning pause and it was fantastic and just ordered delivery today. The Mediterranean tray for two is actually big enough to feed 4 to 6. My friend and I both had leftovers for days and everything was so good. All the meats are very high quality and cooked perfectly, the hummus, grape leaves, rice, etc. But hold the phone, the lamb soup is the best soup I've ever had in my life. No joke. It's a lamb consomme, just the most delicious broth ever. When I was there in person, I wanted the lentil soup but they were out so that one is great as well I'm sure. The only thing I don't like here are the fries, I don't know what this cooking technique is that makes the fries orange and bumpy (some kind of seasoning I guess), but they are good for that method: hot and crisp. I just prefer plain fries with a little salt. The restaurant itself was very bright and clean, staff was very nice and they have Mexican coke and really good hot tea for ending the meal. I look forward to visiting again when it's open indoors but definitely a good order in place in the meantime. read more

walking into remas i was hit with a smell. the type of smell that is mouth watering. it's always a good sign when you enter a restaurant and the aroma pulls you in. we ordered the lamb fahsa (spicy) and based off of my good friend Yunus Al Somairis recommendation ordered remas zestly gallaba the food came out fairly quickly. the service was definitely up there and the food did not miss. the bread was fresh the fahsa was hot, i just wish the fahsa was a little spicier. overall i would highly recommend this place for authentic yemeni cuisine. it's currently tied as my favorite place to get fahsa in the metro detroit area read more

Some things, like the decor, have changed a bit at Remas. They do still offer complimentary tea and coffee. We got to pick up order that included a five-piece deboned chicken, one beef kabob skewer and one chicken shawarma. As in the past, the beef kebab was very well seasoned and tender. However, unlike before, there was not bread and garlic sauce. It was served on a few leaves of chopped Romaine with a couple of pieces of grilled onion and carrot tossed in. The deboned chicken came with two sides. We selected rice and salad with house dressing. Both of the sides were nice. The chicken was good, but it was a bit stringy. It did not come with pita either. This is where things took a turn. The chicken shawarma was horrible. It was more bread than chicken with two very thin pieces of pickle. The garlic sauce was potent but used sparingly. Unfortunately, because the chicken was overcooked, the lack of sauce was no help. What you ended up with was a dry chewy mess . Even considering that everything may be freshly prepared, there was no excuse for the ridiculous wait time we had of a bit more than 30 minutes. Even though we received it as soon as it was done, somehow the shawarma was room temperature, at best. This will be my last time ordering the shawarma, but I will continue to return for the beef kabob and lentil soup. read more

The service was exceptional. Marcus and his team got the food to us promptly. We loved the shishito peppers and calamari. Mediterranean salad had Kalamata olives and toasted garbanzos. Filet mignon perfectly cooked with mushrooms, potatoes and squash. Lasagna sauce smothered and cheesy. read more

Probably the best lentil soup I've ever had. Mildly spicy, with lots of other warming spices such as cumin and coriander.

We got the the tray for two that included the lamb haneeth, lamb masloug, and beef gallaba with rice and fries. For starters, they served us with yellow colored lamb soup without lamb in it and salad. The soup was really good to help build up the anticipation for what is to come next. However, it's just disappointing to not find lamb in your soup. Salad was just average as well with lettuce and a few cucumber and tomatoes here and there. The meat platter was really good. Meat was tender and juicy with spices hitting all the right notes. They need to improve their soup and salad game but it could be just the Yemeni way of serving the soup. But salad needs improvement big time though. Could it be because it was late at night and they were about to close? but that still shouldn't impact the quality of sides served with the food. Sides are as important as the main course. Will definitely come back to try more items on the menu. read more

I finally got a chance to stop by Remas today with some friends. There are a couple great Yemeni places in town already, but I'm always happy to give a new place a chance. The new owners did a great remodel with the former L. George's space, it looks classy and clean inside. The manager (and wife?) were very incredibly welcoming as well, they provided great service and explained things to us when we had questions. All of us are familiar with yemeni food, so we were eager to try a new take on it. We had a big group, so we split the "Remas try for 6" which includes Haneeth, Masloug, Meat & Chicken Gallaba, and is served with Rice, Soup, or Salad (and a big smattering of super crispy french fries!) We also got a bowl of Remas Fahsah and tuna fahsah (a first for all of us) as well as some saltah, and plenty of bread. The hosts were gracious enough to provide us with some free soft breads and hummus (delicious and smooth) when they brought out the salad - covered with good fresh vegetables and a delightful thick ginger and carrot dressing. The soups and bread came out next. The tuna fahsah was hearty, the flavor wasn't fishy, and the spices blended perfectly. The lamb in the Remas fahsah was well spiced, falling apart, and would be a great food for when you need something to make you feel loved. The saltah was similarly well made, extra hearty and chock full of vegetables. The gigantic platter came out and wowed all of us. Tons of rice, fantastic haneeth and masloug, falling off the bone with tons of flavor. The haneeth is a type of roasted lamb, while the masloug is simmered in broth. Both were very good, I preferred the haneeth with its flavorful outside layer, but both were excellent. The gallabah was mixed in with the rice and very tender. I would not hesitate to come back here and order anything on their menu (on top of yemeni food they have plenty of mediterranean dishes, breakfast, and a kids menu), with a side of a sweet and fruity smoothie or a spiced sweet tea. The staff and owners did a great job and I'd love to see them succeed in this space! read more

This Restaurant is so Amazing the food is so delicious. I Recommend fahsah mindi and the mango cocktail.

We stopped by Remas on a Sunday. We had only had Yemenis food once before. We ordered a few traditional items and also ordered what one would consider typical Lebanese food. Everything was very good. Their salad dressing was amazing and we enjoyed the hummus even more than most middle eastern places we've been. We really like the spices they use and the bread is amazing! We had wonderful service and even got to try some tea and dessert on the house. The tea was so good. Has a clove flavor to it. As we were leaving there was two separate large parties coming in so this place must be well known in town. read more

Super Mediterranean food, I like it so much, I recommend all the interested people to eat Mediterranean food, it's a really perfect option.

Went with 2 friends to try out the former Clock Restaurant that is now a Yemenese dining spot. Lots of choices, but we ordered the Mediterranean plate for two and a fattoush salad along with mango smoothies as our beverages. There was enough food for six and it was all great! Along with an assortment of chicken, beef, and lamb there was a delicious long grain rice and green peppers and onions sauteed and seasoned wonderfully. Along with the main dish, there was a tasty hummus, and a subtle garlic sauce along with a unique Yemeni flat bread. Service was great and we were there for a late lunch so only two other booths occupied. Highly recommend. read more
