I usually order takeout from here rather than dining in, but they do have a dining area inside if you want to sit and eat. The space is casual and clean, and the staff are always friendly when I come in to pick up my food. This time I did carryout again, but instead of my usual chicken shawarma combo, I decided to try one of their bowls and I'm really glad I did. The bowl had pretty much everything I enjoy and the flavors were really good. If anything, I think it would be nice if there were a few more topping options just to add a little more variety, but overall I truly enjoyed it. And I have to mention the mango smoothie because I get it every single time. It's always good! One day I might branch out and try one of the other smoothies, but honestly I can never get past the mango because it's just that good and definitely my favorite. Overall, this spot is reliable for fresh, flavorful food. Of course I'll be back! read more

Didn't answer his phone call like five times then had to call someone else in the area that was more out of my way. I made my order with the other place. Then the donkey wants to respond back to me 15 minutes later thinking I was still gonna order something from him read more

The food here is amazing in quality. The staff prepares it with excellent consistency. I can always rely on them to prepare an amazing and healthy flavorful meal. Thank you to the staff and owners who set this up!! read more

My boyfriend and I frequently order the sautéed lamb with hummus, which is a delicious favorite of ours. However, there is one area for improvement: the oven-baked bread was quite hard and dirty, making it difficult to chew. read more

The food was really good! We ordered carry out and they messed up our order. When I called they offered to replace it but we could not go back. He said he would give us a free sandwich but we are from out of town. read more

The tabouli was made with kale instead of parsley and it makes a big difference. I ended up throwing it away. My kabob was over-cooked and dried out. The staff were great and five stars to them. Too bad the food wasn't good. No stars for the food read more

I've been in love with this place for the last 5 years, my entire family loves the fresh bread..... BUT today has changed everything I ordered 6 orders of bread and I'm not sure if this is mold or the oven is dirty as hell but I had to throw away half of it and I wasted $56 so so disheartening read more

We just had some of the driest shawarma sandwiches ever. There was like a tablespoon, mostly on one end of the sandwich, of sauce. Plenty of chicken, marginal taste, but plenty of chicken. Good luck, heads up, sauce. read more

Good as usual not as spicy and tasty as sometimes but always good with fast service in a nice down to earth environment.

Shish kebab express is fairly close to my work. I finally decided to stop in and check out the food. My favorite is usually a Shish Kafta sandwich, lamb. I decided to go with the trio combo, which comes with a side and a drink. Right after I ordered the waitress placed some hot bread, garlic sauce and salsa on the table. I knew already I had too much food. I ordered the fattoush salad as my side. Everything was very tasty, including the garlic sauce which was delicious. Staff was attentive and friendly, I will be coming back. By the way, I love shish kafta, but it is usually a little dry. This was moist and delicious. I can't wait to come back and try more things on the menu. Update on this place: I picked up a carry out for a coworker and I today. When I got the order back to work there was a main ingredient missing from my coworkers salad. She called just to see what they would do. The person on the phone took our address and sent someone there with that ingredient. They were there within 10 minutes. That is Service! read more

Worked up an appetite last Friday after our afternoon walk around the track and had a taste for some Shish Kabob. Honestly we metro Detroiters live in such a great area for food, don't we? Hummus, garlic sauce, and fresh bread all at a whim. However I ended up getting the Shish Kabob wrap with cheese (never had one with yellow cheese, it was intriguing) and the husby got the Shish Kabob trio through the GrubHub app here on Yelp. Tons of food, as always. My husband got all lamb for the trio, plus fatoosh side salad which was huge, and fries. My wrap was also large enough to split into two meals, which I enjoyed for lunch on Saturday as well. Delicious with the yellow cheese, maybe it was American? Bread also came with the order and I was bummed that we didn't order garlic sauce or hummus to go with it. Always the favorite part of the meal, that warm bread. One criticism was from my husband was that some of the lamb was a little too well done and also too salty. But some bites were better than others. Looking forward to eating in soon and getting our hummus to go with the fresh baked bread read more

Shish Kabob Express - This is the strawberry mango smoothies that I highly recommend sorry I need to get my nails done I know LOL - Lebanese Near Me - Eastpointe, Michigan

This is one of our favorite local Mediterranean restaurants! The food is consistent, delicious, and perfectly spiced! If you want a safe space to try Mediterranean food check this place out! read more

food is amazing and service is very good . Deboned chicken is the best in the area , and the strawberry banan smoothie is my favorite

Unfortunately I have to downgrade my rating of this establishment to 4 stars due to their portion sizes significantly decreasing. My wife and I recently ordered the Shish Kabob Triple combo and the Shish Kafta Triple combo. The salads came in much smaller boxes than they have in the past. There was significantly less rice included. There were only a couple pickles included just one piece of roasted vegetable with each combo. I'm assuming their sandwiches and some of their other dishes remain mostly unchanged, but if they have, it could slide into 3 star territory. read more

The food was a disaster. It was over cooked and over seasoned with dressing if some sort. The bread was good. That's about it. Tell them to put less dressing on it. read more

One of my favorite restaurants. They never disappoint me, just sad i forgot to order some soup read more

I have eaten here a few times and it's pretty consistent. It took a while for a server to get to me but it wasn't the servers fault since they usually only have 1 working at a time when I go in here. I ordered the Shish Kafta with rice, lentil soup, extra garlic sauce with bread and Baklava. -The bread and garlic sauce was a 5/5 knock out. Tasted amazing and fresh. Honestly I would just go back for for this! -The Lamb kafta was also very good and full of flavor. The rice and the soup needed more seasoning. - Baklava was delicious. Overall it is a above average Mediterranean meal. read more

Coworker recommended this place so we tried it for the first time and absolutely hated it. The deboned chicken although cooked pretty good had no flavor, the garlic spread for the bread was sour, tabboule was gross and not chopped fine like most places. Over all terrible experience and food tasted nasty I will not be returning. read more

Nothing special here.... only ordered it because it was what other people wanted.... next time I will just eat what's in the vending machine....f'inYuk.... read more

I'm very surprised there are no reviews here yet. This place used to be called "Hummus".. the funny thing was that the Hummus was the weakest thing on the menu. Now "Shish Kabob" (which is the same name for a Greek place on 9 Mile and Harper a mile and a half away) First time here was a carry out when they first opened. The food presentation in the carryout was beautiful. They take the time and make it nice. I'll try and post some pics. The Good: Salad dressing is very good... if I compliment a salad dressing then I really liked it. I thought they should sell it separately and the next time I came in I noticed that they already had the idea! The Bad: Chicken Shish Kabob flavor was weak, maybe it wasn't marinated long enough and the garlic spread tasted like they didn't take out the bitter green part of the garlic. That or it was old. The next time dine in: What a turn around, ordered the Shish Tawook and this time the flavor was very good. Hummous good, condiments, garlic spread better. Bread. Pepper and I have gotten take out here a few times this year and it seems to be improving. Fallafel is just ok. Oh, and the service is usually very good and one server was fantastic. 3.75 stars read more

I have been eating Shish Kabob in Southfield and a few times in Eastpointe. Food has always been delicious. Food is horrible at Eastpointe TODAY. My hummus is salty, the schwarmas are not good. I dont know if the garlic or the pickles have a weird taste. Where's the meat? I spent over $50.00 and I'm disappointed. I dont know if it was rushed but food was horrible. Disappointed. read more

If you're looking for fresh, tasty Lebanese food, look no further, Shish Kabob Express fits the bill. Nestled just a block away from East Detroit High School, the restaurant is usually bustling with business. But don't worry, the wait staff is always attentive to customers needs. The owners are almost always present, busy ensuring that orders are filled in a minimal amount of time. Every time that we've gone to dine in, the restaurant has been clean and extremely inviting. The clientele is an eclectic hodgepodge of people from all walks of life, who obviously come for the delicious food. Don't be surprised if you see police from Eastpointe or even Detroit frequenting the restaurant, on their dinner breaks. I've tried numerous dishes, both vegetarian and meat based and have yet to be disappointed by anything that I've tried. I find that all of the dishes are ample in quality and quantity. A couple of my favorite dishes are the veggie grape leaves, the Mujadara (lentils and rice, with carmelized onions on top), and the Kafta (minced or ground meat with spices). My entire family LOVES the fresh baked bread, hot out of the brick oven, with their delicious hummus, garlic dip or the tomato based "salsa-like" dip for bread. All three accompaniments to the bread are delicious ! I must admit, I'm somewhat apprehensive about divulging this last secret, for fear that she will be over taxed, but without a doubt, our favorite server is Ashley. She is an awesome, 20 something, tattooed, hip chick, who is EXTREMELY attentive. As a relatively regular place that my family likes to frequent, my kids actually noticed that she can actually remember what we ate on previous trips ! And we're not saying from a week prior, we're generally talking a month or so. When asked, Ashley will happily give you her opinion of her favorite dish (the ghallaba with veggies). Ashley seems to be an amazing anomaly, always attending to our needs, topping off our drinks or bread basket, but not be continually buzzing by us, affording us privacy with our meal. Unfortunately due to COVID-19, we've been unable to actually dine in, but they are STILL OPEN for carry outs ! I was pleasantly surprised to see that the carry outs are just as fresh and ample of servings as the dine in fare. Treat yourself to some fresh, delicious Lebanese/Middle Eastern food today and stop on by Shish Kabob Express. read more

On time with pickup order. Great flavor for a good price. It was a good lunch at work and I felt fulfilled. I had left over lentil soup and bread to eat with dinner along with some of my hummus wrap. I will be back :) read more

Ordered a selection of food from here through DoorDash and was very pleasantly surprised. Hummus is delicious, could have eaten that all day. Normally I am all about the pita, but here they give you bagged pita - it's hugely generous amounts, but I didn't love it. In contrast, the fattoush bread was incredible. It arrived still piping hot and we all loved tearing them open and stuffing them with the meats and hummus and more. The Shish Kabob combo was a real treat - all of the meats were delicious, the rice was flavorful, and the vegetables were great too. The veggie ghallaba was amazing as well - super rich and flavorful, lots of food. The ultimate pie combo was nothing particularly special - I would skip this, and if you get the garlic sauce (so good!), the large size is huge - just go with a small side of it. It's potent but packed with so much flavor it's amazing. This whole meal was so good, will definitely be back! read more

Food was so good! The beef kabobs were cooked to order, and on point! The chicken kabobs were great and not dried out. Service was fast and they were very nice. Definitely found my new favorite and will be coming back for sure! read more

I have gotten delivery from here several times now and am blown away by how good the food is and how well they do a delivery (how it is packed, what they pack, etc.) I have gotten Greek chicken fattoush which is really delicious and I would recommend. They packed the chicken for the salad separately so it would stay hot and not make the rest of the salad soggy during transport. I've had both the chicken and lamb shwarma salad sandwich which are also delicious and very sizable. And I've had their crushed lentil soup, which is also good. I have to say I believe that their garlic sauce is probably the best in the area! I look forward to dining in here one of these days. read more

I've gotten take out orders via Door Dash quiet a bit now... it's ALWAYS delicious and fast. No complaints! They've got a regular!

I ordered delivery from this restaurant and had a awesome experience with it. Food and crushed lentil soup was hot, they included bread and I had some specific directions with my order than they did perfectly. Really happy with this place, I've ordered 3 times now. read more

They have great food very good tasty food, but need to clean up there outside establishment it's dirty, the grass in front needs to be cut, trash needs to be picked up all around the building. Make the business look nice read more

Not only was half my order missing. But what I did receive was soggy and tasted stale.

Solid food BUT. I placed an online order, went to pick it up. The second I walked in, the "hostess" or whatever her job is, looked me up and down. Didn't say hello, judged me, and continued getting yelled at by her boss. I got home, didn't receive the rice pudding I ordered. I called and she answered saying "we don't have rice pudding." With major attitude. Uhhhhh okay then take it off your menu and don't charge me for it. It's on my receipt. They offered to bring me baklava which is nice but I could have done without the attitude. Update- an hour later with no baklava. $8 down the drain. Wish I hadn't tipped. Update #2- we called to ask if this was being delivered and they said another hour. APPARENTLY, I was supposed to pick out a baklava at the restaurant during my pick up. NO ONE told me this. They should have called me after I placed my order to tell me there wasn't rice pudding. When I got to the restaurant they should have told me there wasn't rice pudding and told me to pick out baklava. They're claiming they're extremely busy, when I went there, I was the only one there. I just think it's ridiculous that they expected me to know there wasn't rice pudding and I was supposed to pick out baklava at the register. Soooo incredibly stupid. Mind you, we spent almost $60 which is why this is so upsetting. read more

Food was ok, not great but ok. Prices are high. For a 3 Shish(kafta, shish beef and shish tawook) combo entrée you pay $17.99. The competition (Café Jole) only charges $15.99 and the portion is larger so go figure. The table we sat at was wobbly and loose. The décor is old. Someone told me this was a "Clock" restaurant (Like a Denny's ) from 50 years ago. Well, maybe they should remodel lol. *******HERE IS THE WORSE PART ABOUT THIS RESAURANT******** I receive my bill and proceed to pay. I look at the line items and there is a $1.00 Set-Up fee. My friend had a $1.00 Set-Up fee also on his bill. WTF??? I ask about it and the server says it is to set-up the bread and the garlic sauce we received. I said, "Do you know it is illegal to charge someone for something without informing them at first"? She said the owner makes them do it. I told her to get the owner for me in back. She tried and we would not come talk to me but did tell her to remove the fee. I WILL NEVER GO HERE AGAIN!!! For that reason alone. This is the same scam they tried years ago out west. You would sit down in a restaurant and the server would bring you a glass of water (even if you did not ask for it) then they would charge you a dollar on your bill. Well, that scam went away but this restaurant is trying a similar version of it. I have been to a dozen middle eastern restaurants in Michigan and other states and never had a set-up fee for bread. I did not even ask for it (Although I was expecting it since every restaurant brings it out) surely I should be told it would cost money!!!!!! I wish I could only give this scammer 1 star!!!!! Do yourself a favor. Drive 4 miles away to Café Jole at 30801 Schoenherr Road, Warren, MI 48088. Enjoy a beautiful new interior with granite tables, large portions, cheaper prices & friendlier staff!!! trust me. read more

This place never dissappoints... love love love it. The portions are large for the prices and thats always great. The atmosphere is great and the employees are wonderful. Great job keep on cooking. read more

This is one of my favorite places to order from on the Eastside of town. I love middle eastern food and have a low carb diet. I recommend the spinach salad with lamb, ultimate health power quart size, lamb dinner, baklava, garlic sauce, and bread... This is my overall #1 food choice, ordered twice before this last order. I'm salivating and just place my 3rd delivery order. Always the same delivery guy, happy and friendly. YUM YUM, BEST FOOD CHOICE FRESH read more

I have two words for y'all SHISH TAWOOK (lemon oregano) Ha ha! Ookay, look they also have this amazing salsa (warm) they serve with warm pita bread while dining in. I mean it is freaking delicious!!! I add garlic sauce to mine and just scoop away ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ read more

The food is wonderful. It's always fresh and delicious. The service is polite and very accommodating. We have been regulars forever and will continue to be. read more

Dined here for the first time last night, which is surprising considering how close it is to my house. I'm vegetarian and there were plenty of options for me. I ended up having Vegetarian Ghallaba (Zesty, instead of the Classic option) which came with soup (opted for Lentil) and rice (vs. fries). All the food was very good. Better than other Mediterranean restaurants that I have visited. We also had bread with garlic sauce and another salsa type sauce, all of which was delicious as well. What impressed me the most, however, was the excellent service we had. Our waitress was very attentive (but not overly so), friendly, and knowledgable. It was the best I have experience ANYWHERE in years! The restaurant itself was very clean and cosy, though the decor seemed a bit dated. Overall, it was an amazing experience and I look forward to returning here often. read more
