    Detroit's most unique hidden Gem next door to Detroit Art Institute. Small World Kitchen 5 different cuisines all made to perfection,  wondering why our local media doesn't show this small family business some Love.  Open 6 years now hidden in the basement of International Institute on Kirby with a big sign out front.  Open 11am till 4:30 Monday thru Saturday in a bright beautiful dining room. Baba, ma and daughter working in front of the house,  just walk up order take a seat. They bring your meal to the table.  Abe runs this cafe with his family, and always provides a delicious meal for an affordable price. It completely fits the location at International Institute to have a variety of ethnic dishes to choose from, and Abe has a way of bringing out the flavors in a dish that is hard to find for this price. A hidden lunchtime gem in the heart of the cultural district Detroit.   He's a Lebanese Master Chef trained in France,  the menu includes food and drinks from 5 unique cuisines and symbolizes the true inclusiveness of Detroit. See the website full menu and reviews https://small-world-kitchen.business.site/. We had a marvelous mixed plate of Indian Lamb and Chicken Curry with Naan bread. It was some of the very best ever eaten.  A delicious Falafel Plate with Tahini for dipping.  She had Chicken Tawook with Fatoush Salad and Hummus totally fabulous.  She had a bowl of Indian Daal Soup OMG such explosive flavor .  Please see all the great 5 star reviews around the web Yelp and Google,  place is a must visit for all you foodies.  Prices are cheaper than any restaurants Downtown Detroit,  hey they cater too.  #smallworldkitchendetroit @smallworldkitchendetroit #worldcusine #lambcurry #chickentawook #falafel #daalsoup #lowprices #detroithiddengems

The vibe feels intimate and tucked away--perfect for catching up with a friend, having a private conversation, or even a little "secret rendezvous" . I ordered the Croque Monsieur and an espresso, and both were absolutely delicious. The Croque Monsieur was rich, flavorful, and satisfying, while the espresso was smooth and perfectly prepared. If you're looking for a place to work, it's great for solo productivity, reading, writing, or answering emails. However, it can get a bit lively and loud, so I wouldn't recommend it for virtual meetings or calls. For focused work without meetings, though, it's a perfect spot. Overall, Cafe Sous Terre offers great food, excellent coffee, and one of the most charming atmospheres in Detroit. I'll definitely be back! Oh and the service epic -

Cozy, well thought out decor and seating. The service was fabulous. My one complaint is that they were completely out of baked goods and desserts when we came in for a coffee after dinner! Also, cortados could be paired with the customary cup of soda water for a more serious coffee experience. A few small tweaks and this place is over the moon. Oh! Another epic part of the experience is the live music we were privy to Sunday night. When the gentlemen weren't playing, we were treated to some really nice jazz through the speakers.
