The food was good at Sheeba, but service was a miss. The restaurant imposes an automatic tip (I was in a party of six, includes one child) and apparently that was enough to not have anyone come to check on us at the table after the food was dropped off. I was also upset because the restaurant didn't have a few of the dishes on the menu as available options on Saturday. Back to the food: It was fresh and at a decent portion size given the prices. I did feel the Whole chicken was on the dry side and would have preferred it to be served with some curry. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and quite a few families dined there in large groups. The staff even sang happy birthday to a guest at a neighboring table who came to the restaurant to celebrate. The outdoor parking lot is free, but fills up quickly on weekends. read more

The Lamb Hanneth is FIRE. I am a big Lamb lover, and when we stopped here, I knew what I wanted on the menu. My girl I think wanted the Fattoush plate. Great Middle Eastern food here. Service was good, and my Lamb was fresh and seasoned good. Love the Rosemary taste. We were both happy. read more

I have a lot of questions about this place it's always on jam and I think I am in love with the food. The atmosphere was so pleasant and clean. The food was very good and nice proportions read more

Open until midnight. It's a bit rough just outside the store doors. Small spot. Staff are friendly. We ordered two fresh OJs, Fattoush salad, small hummus, zesty hummus chicken gallaba, fahsa chicken. Fahsa is one of favorite meat items, if it's available. We asked for some of the red and fern hot sauce. Had our table cleaned by our young waiter. They brought us some lamb broth soup and some of the red sauce and the jalapeño sauce as well. The broth is decent. The hot sauces are fresh and so spicy. The Fattoush salad was decent, more leafy greens would have been better. The dressing is pretty good. The fresh OJ is not sweet, the oranges aren't so ripe at all for either one of our drinks. The hummus is different here, flavor wise, it's quite good and grows on you after a bite or two. The chicken Fahsa is pretty good, found a couple of small chicken bones in the stew, but still good. It came out piping hot. Nicely flavored too. I didn't get a single piece of potatoes in any bites of mine. My husband had one single potato piece. The spicy hummus is good, as expected. Their pita breads are huge, reminds of gluten based, flat dosa. We were only able to get down one piece. I didn't order any bread but was charged for 3 tandoori breads. $1 each. :/ The waiter gave us back $2 since we never actually ordered the bread at all, but did eat one at least. He's good about customer service. The EVOO that they use on their hummus is quite flavorful here. read more

Absolutely phenomenal food and service. The lentils/broth start off the meal perfectly. We ordered the Sheeba Plate, Mushakal Platter (I love okra), and Fahsah w/chicken. All were absolutely fantastic!!! Definitely a comfortable vibe and they're open late--shukran! read more

The Haneth is delicious. Lamb is so tender and the seasoning they use is on point. Also they salad dressing is very unique and citrusy. Will be back for sure read more

Unassuming family restaurant, very casual. Luncheonette style tables. But the food is superb. I ate chicken agdah, a very savory stew of chicken and vegetables: potatoes, okra, carrots, and peppers, served with rounds of chewy, fresh flatbread. I was unable to finish it, and the bill came to all of $17.00. read more

Came with a big group with no reservation- space was already super busy but they made our big group work immediately! Quick and hospitable service, amazing (like jaw dropping) food, and the sweetest staff. I highly recommended the fattoush salad, the shay (tea) which is better than any I've ever tasted, and any of the lamb or chicken dishes on the menu. 1000% coming back for my next trip to Detroit. read more

Tasty food . Place is little small not ideal for families but for hanging out with friends it's a good place

Got the chicken agdah with rice. Food was very fresh and flavorful. The soup was good too.

Been coming here for years and love it. Still amazing. Highly recommend the fassolia, garlic sauce, hummus, borma, haneeth with rice, and the hot spice tea. We feast when we come here. Much better food & more authentic than the place next door. read more

On my pursuit of the Bizarre Foods Detroit episode reenactment, Sheeba was on my list to try out their Lamb Kidney Sub. If you've ever been to the Middle East, well, save the plane ticket. When you walk in, you're transported to a small restaurant that could be easily mistaken for an Middle Eastern authentic place. It has the music, the tv shows, the clientele, and the FOOD. I don't think there is any wasting of lamb in this place. If it's slaughtered for me to eat, why not eat it all right? We were not expecting to get Lamb Soup, just the Lamb Kidney Sub, but we easily were talked into soup by our server. How can I turn down Lamb Soup? It's one I've never tried nor heard. You can see that I can only imagine what parts of the Lamb are cooked in it, but it's definitely slowly simmered in the meat and bones. It has a deep meaty flavor of lamb, really to the point that you think you're cutting into a lamb shank. It's pretty oily, partly from the fat from the meat, but also I think olive oil. You can see from the picture, these wonderful pools of oil to add the heartiness of the soup. We also couldn't resist the pita bread to dip into the soup. It's huge, really huge. We had to include a hand in the picture just to get a point of comparison. It comes out HUGE and HOT. I'm not kidding on either point. It came directly out of the stone oven and almost burnt my fingers in trying to tear a piece off. Dip this right into your soup, oh so good. The Lamb Kidney Sub arrived. The initial inspection looks like the kidneys are finely chopped and sauteed well done. Not done well as it's perfect, but over cooked. It reminded me of when you cook bacon well done and break it up into bacon bits. They were very crunchy and some pieces were good presented this way, but most were too hard and tough to chew them. It's served on a nice toasted sub bun and mayo inside to elevate the sandwich a bit, but the star of the sandwich, the kidney, You only get a mediocre review. I would stick with the bread and soup. I'm interested in trying several other options there. They have items on the menu that are not found in most places, so it's definitely worth another visit. read more

Sheeba Restaurant Hamtramck - Haneeth!!! - Middle Eastern Near Me - Hamtramck, Michigan

Delicious food. We were in from out of town and wanted good middle eastern food. This was the place.

Abbas 10/10 greatest server of all time, also they gave us a free Seltah !! Food is delicious I always bring my out of town guests

Very delicious food. Simple but delicious. Service was efficient. Great experience Highly recommend.

The vegetarian Saltah hits hard! Juices are top too. The staff were kind and helpful. Don't miss out on Sheeba In Hamtramck!

The don't respect the time they can put you on hold for an hour even if you orders in advance Very bad service read more

Stumbled on Sheeba Restaurant after visiting the Bell Isle. We were actually headed to another restaurant but decided to give it a try. What a great decision! The food was amazing -- and the bread was fantastic! Wonderful service, as well. Our server was pleasant and very patient -- explaining the various dishes to us. He was also great with our four young children. We were really surprised that the restaurant was not ranked higher, and we can only conclude that is because there are not a lot of reviews yet. If you are anywhere reasonably close, you really need to give it a try! read more

Perhaps owing to its multi-ethnic makeup Hamtramck enjoys diplomatic immunity from the smoking ban. But, at 9 a.m. today, I was the only person here not having the cigarette and foul combo. Perhaps I should have gotten the foul, but I have had a craving for shakshuka for years. Well, what I got was not shakshuka, I'm quite sure. It was scrambled eggs. This tasted good enough, but I never order scrambled eggs at restaurants, because it is a ridiculous thing to do. The yemeni bread was good, and made me feel very silly for asking for a fork. It was also enjoyable watching the satellite news, which is all about Western conspiracies (like middle eastern tea partiers). Anyhow, for a all of your foul needs, this place will do. I don't think I will be returning, though. read more

In love with this place. The fool (mashed fava beans) is the best- tastes just like it would in the middle east. The lamb and chicken haneeth are also outstanding. Will definitely come back. I give Sheeba 5 stars for the tastiness of their food (will leave out location and ambience for now) read more

Awesome place . Great home made Arabic food . On the downside they sometimes over charge & early morning it's like few minutes of waiting before is picked up to kitchen or done . Call & place order before getting there They should push little harder mostly because . They have yemen cafe next door & that's there computation. But Yemen cafe breakfast isn't as good as sheeba restaurant. But this place is good enough for the budget. read more

First time having yemenese food. It was delicious! We had Fahsa (smashed meat) and haneeth (lamb) Very nice staff, deliciously flavored hot food with big portions. A bit salty for our taste but still good. Ambiance wise, it could use some help...fluorescent lighting and dirty bathrooms, but I dig a dive meal every now and again. read more

I went here with a friend after we both realized we had never had Yemeni food before. This was the perfect spot as the food was glorious and the staff was very friendly. While this is definitely not a glamorous spot, don't let the drab decor fool you. The food is amazing! Our waiter explained all the food items to us once he realized we had no idea what anything meant. He also made recommendations depending on what we liked. We ended up ordering hummus with meat, lamb haneeth (marinated lamb chops with rice), and vegetable seltah (kind of a vegetable gumbo served in a very hot clay pot). All the items were phenomenal! Also, the portions were HUGE so we were not able to come close to finishing even half of our food. Definitely a great bargain, with the amazing food for such a good price. Pro tip: Go to the back of the restaurant! When you enter the restaurant, it has the standard tables and booths expected from any tiny restaurant but if you ask the waiter to take you to the back, they will take you to an area where you can sit on the ground (on cushions) and eat in traditional Yemeni style. Don't expect any luxury but my friend and I thought it was pretty damn awesome to enjoy our food on the ground the way it's meant to be enjoyed. =) read more

The best! You get a feel of the middle east, and the workers are generous! Dont forget to try there spicy fish dip :) btw the picture is old the place got a make over and a beautiful middle eastern moral painting on the outside of the place, talent! read more

Is heard they had liver and kidney sandwiches, and thought I likes me them parts. Popped down there and this fat Irish guy felt out of place. I tried to order the liver 'out" the kidney "out" and the heat "out" On one hand I'm disappointed but to their credit hey they are popular. I had a steak sub. It was good but want to go back for them there parts read more

Best authentic Yamani food of all Hamtramck and Dix area. Keep the good job guys. read more

Delicious! Went for the late night Fahsa with bread, soup and Yemini tea. My wife and I ate a great meal for $10 plus with top notch service. To start with, we couldn't make up our mind between Yemen Cafe and Sheeba but two locals exited Sheeba and without asking said "ambiance is next door this is for the food" so according to them Sheeba's meals are better than their competitor. We didn't try Yemen cafe to see if this is true, but c'est la vie. We were craving Sheeba the next day which is always a good sign. Wish I got a Vernors but I didn't see it hiding in the fridge. Shukran! (4 stars due to the place could be a little more cleaner) read more

I loved the original location and was excited for this one to open! It was amazing! Best lamb I have ever had! The fahsa was especially delicious! Great hummus and bread! The portion sizes were very large and we left full, happy, and still had leftovers! The manager came to our table himself and walked us out as we left! Very friendly staff! There is complimentary valet parking as well as the parking lot tends to fill up fast. Would highly recommend! read more

Its my fav Arabian restaurant in Detroit in term of teaste. Try "Fahsah" ,everyone had it liked it very much.

Authentic, wonderful food. The make the best tea infused with cloves. My daughter who doesn't like tea even loves this. Their bread is so yummy that you'll want to order some to take home. read more

The best traditional food you can fined in Michigan, breakfast is amazing !! I loved the haneth "rice with meet" and the fahsa "beef with chili" and bormah "okra, potatoes and beef" and what's call the magal gal "lamb chpes with tomato and onions" and finally the great tea read more

I read the reviews and took the family here. Pros- Good haneeth, rice, and bread. Cons- The dining room was run down and infested with drain flies and houseflies, the water cups had blue/purple oil slicks on top, the waiter overcharged me $5.00, the hummus was awful, the fattoush sub-par, and the Sheeba salad had an orange topping that was the worst thing that I have ever had on a salad. We definitely prefer the Sheeba in Dearborn. No flies, cleaner cups, nicer decor, more flavor and spice in the food. Whenever I see flies in the dining room of a restaurant, I assume there are more in the kitchen, landing on food, and laying maggots in the kitchen. read more

This place is not worth trying! I've had good yemeni food before so i know wht im talking about! Such a pointless meal, stewed meat served seperately from the broth, white plain rice with scattered specks of red dye, unmemorable galaba and the driest least flavourful rotisserie chicken i've ever had! The only good thing was the bread! would never return! To be honest, the meat didnt taste bad, but how hard is it to stew some meat? It might be exotic for some i guess! When i think of yemeni food i think of mandi or zerbian or things that actually have some flavour and spice, yemen afterall is known for it's spices! read more
