This is my go to for great Mediterranean food. The food is fresh and consistently above average. The garlic spread and warm pitas are to die for. Family owned with the most attentive and kind servers. Dima is my favorite. You won't be disappointed if you make this your next stop for lunch or dinner! read more

Delicious food and friendly service. I have only had take out here, but the food is fresh, hot, and tasty. Their fattoush salad, spinach pies, lentil soup, and mujadara wrap were excellent. The round pita bread and garlic spread come with your order. Yum! Employees both on the phone when placing the order and when picking up are very kind. read more

If you like Mediterranean food, you cannot miss an opportunity to eat here. Service is quick, food is promptly served, and no unnecessary hovering by the wait staff! read more

Shish Palace - Lamb Chili, Lamb Schwarma with Rice - Mediterranean Near Me - Auburn Hills, Michigan

I am visiting Michigan for an event. I wanted a good food to eat after a long day. Looked like Shish Palace is the right one for me. When I read the menu, my mouth was watering. Was waiting for it. But when I received the food, it was cold, but I understand it's not always possible to get warm food with delivery, it was also not at all what I expected. They don't even have the right order, on top of that, gross looking salad and bland chicken. I requested for utensils in the packet, and nops, not there! Never ordering from here again. read more

Everything was so delish. Both the meat and rice were seasoned to perfection and their garlic sauce was so bomb. read more

Advertises halal food. Stopped in here for carry out. We had chicken and lamb salads and the chicken was actually my favorite. They let me substitute baba ganoush for hummus and served with veggies instead of bread. Very nice since I'm still trying to go gluten free. The host was lovely and it felt like the rest of the folks were regulars. He sent an extra bag with their garlic sauce and an entire bag of small fresh pitas. Those hot pitas broke me down but I didn't quite get the garlic sauce - much more of a garlic butter. Wish I could do 3.5. read more

Dont place your order at the wrong location because apparently it only inconveniences them. My girlfriend was scolded over the phone and told she wasted 2X the amount of money she paid at a different location. I understand it's frustrating but mistakes happen- the most we can do is apologize. Called out of courtesy for the restaurant not even 15 minutes after it was placed. Glad this isn't our usual location read more

Shish Palace is a staple Middle Eastern Restaurant in Auburn Hills serving. This spot is a staple for Oakland University students and conveniently located close to campus. I personally thought the food was a bit overpriced but everything is always tasty and the portions are large. I really enjoy their lamb and hummus combo. The hummus has a perfect balance of salt, acidity and tartness and the meat is juicy. The service here is usually quick and everyone is always friendly! I recommend trying it at least once if you're in the area! read more

The food was so yummy and delicious and service was absolutely great For sure I will be back again read more

Food is just mediocre and not great. Service is ok. The prices are absolutely ridiculous for middle eastern food. Appetizer, soup, and a couple of wraps cost damn near $60. No way will I patronize this place again. read more

It was a little better than average Mediterranean food for this area saturated in good Mediterranean food. The food was fresh. The highlights for me was the fattoush salad and the garlic sauce. The rest was mediocre. I tried the pan fried wings. They were just average basket fried wings. The bread was good. The chicken was a little over done burnt taste and salty. read more

We got take-out a few days after Christmas when I was hosting a dinner party (which I ordered over the phone so I could ask questions) that consisted of a "full sheet of hummus, a half sheet of tabbouli and a small order of baba gannoush" with fresh pita bread, as recommended by the person who took my order. I said I needed this assortment for 12 people. What we ended up getting for $80-some odd dollars (wow that was wayyyy more expensive than I expected?!) was a generous amount of delicious soft pitas, a half sheet of delicious hummous which was immediately eaten, a half sheet of tabbouli which nobody ate, and a small square takeout box (size of a big mac) of baba gannoush. I really wish I had been given the full sheet of hummous that I was told to order and probably paid for. Great food, but I feel like I was a tad underserved and overcharged. read more

Great service, delicious food, reasonable prices. Clean restaurant. Close to Oakland University and i75

Coming during a slow time, we were the only ones in the restaurant to be seated and was immediately given bread and garlic, which to me was the highlight of my meal. The bread was nice and fluffy and paired very well with the garlic sauce. I had ordered the Lamb Shawarma Plate as part of the lunch special and I should have clarified because I thought it would be an actual Shawarma but instead it was just the meat and the sides. The meat for me was a bit too overcooked and bland and it took me forever to chew to get through it. The fries however were very nice and crispy and definitely helped break the monotony of just heating the lamb meat. During the meal, I saw a lot of people come just for the Shawarma so hopefullly this was a one off and the meat is definitely better as part of that, but would definitely pass on the plate for now. read more

Shish Palace - Hummus and Lamb, Shish Kabob, Lamb Chops - Mediterranean Near Me - Auburn Hills, Michigan

So nice that they have chicken kafta or skewers, this is my latest jam at any middle eastern restaurant of late. Ordered the sampler plate with all chicken (2 chicken kebabs, chicken kafta and chicken shawarma with veggies and two dinner salads and orange and carrot and orange and apple. Their garlic spread is made with olive oil and not butter here, nice, we could eat it with our meats then. The garlic spread is quite flavorful, nice bite and tang from the garlic and lighter than butter, it's good on its own even. The salads were out, they are good, fresh and crunchy. The tabouli is good as well, nicely seasoned and lemony too. The baba ghanouj and spicy hummus are both good. The veggie grape leaves are good, nice tartness and good with the garlic spread too. ;) The falafel is nice and crunchy on the outside and moist and not dry at all on the inside. The meats are so good. Chicken shawarma meat is yummy, a bit dry. The chicken kafta is extremely dry, not my favorite here at all, it does have a lot of good flavor though, just way too cooked for my liking. It even leaves shards of meat as you saw through it with a serrated knife. It's dry. The chicken Tawook is also rather dry. The waiter told us that they have to cook the kafta longer. Ok. The side of hot zest at sauce is good with everything. It's just crushed pepper, burns the mouth but makes any meat edible, along with the garlic spread. Roasted sweet potato, one and some zucchini, carrot and green peppers instead of rice for our platter bed. All of the food was quite good until the meat came out. The meat was all over cooked and way too dry. The waiter told us a couple of times that they have to cook the meat fully, they can cook the lamb medium rare but not chicken. He really tried hard to replace the meats, offered us some baklava and some rice rice and shawarma in a to go container, but we had to decline since we are not eating rice and aren't eating any gluten. We would have loved to have their fresh pita with the garlic spread. The raw juices are both good. They did charge us an extra $2 for the extra chicken kebab. Extra chicken shawarma meat would not have been an extra charge. The best part of the meal was the garlic spread, spicy zest sauce, salad, grape leaves, hummus and baba ghanouj, tabouli and roasted veggies. The meats were least thrilling part of our meal tonight. I have have all of the chicken meats at other places and they weren't as dry or required to he cooked as long as they cook it here. The flavors of all of the food, including the meats are all good despite the dry meat. Service here was quite good, attentive, accommodating, customer centric and friendly too. Food is generally good, would not get the chicken kafta again, stick to the chicken shawarma or lamb meats. read more

We were in the area waiting few hours to take back our cat from emergency vet and we got hungry so placed an order online for pickup. It was still lunch time so we got lunch deals. I really wanted fresh pita bread and garlic sauce so ordered these too but once we got our food I noticed that there was far more garlic sauce and bread so it looks like they add it for orders and there is no need to order it unless you want a lot. I had a vegetarian meal with two falafel, two grape leaves and two spinach pies. It comes with fries or rice and soup or salad. I got rice and salad. Everything was very tasty. My husband had chicken shawarma plate with lentil soup. I tasted the soup and it was delicious. He said the chicken was tasty too. Great lunch deal including freshly baked pita bread and garlic sauce and very tasty food read more

A very inconspicuous restaurant, located in the back of a strip mall, hides a top notch kitchen. The hummus, lamb, pita, and chicken were all superb, and the portion sizes generous. Garlic sauce wasn't included, so we added on a 16 oz of garlic sauce and a dozen of extra pitas. We chose soup as our side. Everyone loved every dish that we received, and we can't wait to come back. Expect a bit of a wait from thr pickup time quoted by the restaurant, but other than that, the pickup experience was very pleasant, with plenty of parking. read more

A friend and I were in need of some dinner relatively late at night. Shish Palace was one of the few restaurants still open close to 9pm so we decided to visit. I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly Shish Palace served our food. My friend and I both got a lamb shawarma and we both enjoyed it. The lamb was very flavorful and there were plenty of veggies in the wrap. In addition to the swawarma we were given complimentary pita and garlic sauce. Both were so good. Staff service was good and the people waiting our table were friendly. If you've never had shawarma before, this would be a great place to try. read more

Whenever I get a homesick feeling, I always crave Mediterranean food. Of course not all Mediterranean restaurants are the same, but Shish Palace is a great example of why it works as my medication. It's not about the food, but the people behind it. The people who work here put time and care into the food, and it translates to time and care for the one eating it. Of course I'll be back, again read more

Another Yelp find that I am pleased to recommend. Fresh food. Friendly staff and large portions. Highly recommended.... but it is a place without alcohol. BYOB if that is your want. read more

Amazing food, very nice service and a very clean restaurant. The falafel is amazing and the fresh bread is great! I'm a little obsessed with the rice here, it has slivered almonds in it and the added texture is just so satisfying. read more

On a snowy January evening my wife and I wanted to go out for dinner after countless curbside pickup and takeout dinners. Shish Palace did not disappoint. Our waitress Amanda, was very efficient and provided excellent service. She delivered fresh and warm homemade pita bread along with that Middle Eastern staple, garlic butter. As hungry as we both were, we had to remind each other to not eat all the bread before our meal. The lamb combination dinner included many of the items we both like (Kafka,grape leaves, meat pie, kibbee) so we decided to split it. We added a bowl of their very tasty lentil soup that was outstanding. It's hard to choose which lamb item was the best because they were all delicious. Both the kibbee and the Kafka were among the best I've had in a long time. When you combine great service with fresh delicious food in a clean dining environment, you cannot go wrong. read more

Nice place and great service. The bread is really good, reminds me of being overseas. Lamb was excellent, as well as he garlic sauce

Amazing kabobs. Portion was huge and the waiter was great too. I had plenty to take home for lunch the next day.

Best middle eastern food around. Came here multiple times during lunch and the place is packed. Service is great also.

Good food. Great service. Looking forward to trying other items on the menu. Will be back.

In a word..... AMAZING! My wife is a phenomenal cook and cooks this type of good, but it was soooo nice to go out for this food and find it (almost) as good as we make it at home (I may be somewhat biased). Everything was fresh, including the fresh baked HOT bread, and the super creamy humus. We had lamb 3 ways and loved it all. Do NOTiss the garlic spread they serve at the beginning.. OMG! I couldn't even take pics because I was shoveling it in my face hole so fast! Wish I had gone back for a to-go order! Definitely worthy of a visit. read more

Delicious food! So many yummy fries, not enough ketchup. Was told by my partner who picked up the order that the employee working at the time seemed to be judgmental about the fact that I ordered through yelp. My partner said he was met with a pair of very judgy eyes. Either way it won't stop me from ordering from them again, through yelp. Business () is business () after all! read more

We came in for lunch today with some friends! We had eaten at their other location on Livernois before so we kind of knew what to expect. It was easy to find but today it was challenging because the parking lot was closed off and being resurfaced but we parked in a small area nearby and made our way to Shish Palace. Because it was Saturday and they had just opened and with the parking lot issue, we were the first ones there for lunch. Once everyone had arrived, we reviewed the menu and then ordered. My wife ordered the Fattoosh Tawook Salad with Grilled Chicken and I ordered the Chicken Shawarma Plate that came with choice of Rice or Fries (I chose Rice) and Soup or Salad (picked Lentil Soup). Then the fun began with freshly baked hot Pita Bread and two sauces for dipping: Garlic and a flavorful Tomato-based sauce that were both so good I had to alternate the bites. When he brought out the entrees we were a bit overwhelmed by the portion sizes. The Fattoosh Salad was fresh crisp greens topped with a seasoned and perfectly grilled Chicken Breast cut into strips. My Chicken Shawarma Plate was filled with a Toasted Almond Rice and a huge amount of Chicken Shawarma pieces along with a couple of large pieces of Grilled Carrot and Squash! Then a plate of Hummus was brought out for the table compliments of the owner. Of course we proceeded to stuff ourselves and of course we had leftovers to take home. Food and service were excellent as was our experience at the other location. And all this is just minutes from our house. Definitely will be back! read more
