    Juicy Sean Rice Bowl
    Ailun H.

    Spiedo is a relatively new "Mediteranean-ish" restaurant that took over Chela's (RIP) within the past couple years. Surprisingly, a group of 5 of us was able to grab a table without much wait this past Sunday lunch. I thought it would have been packed since it's the weekend after the first full week of school. Fortunately not! CHOCOLATE TAHINI SHAKE - 6 The shake was really small, maybe an 8 oz cup, but it was incredibly thick and sweet, so any more than that would have been too much. It was creamy and good otherwise, but not sure if I'll pay that amount for the shake again. JUICY SEAN RICE BOWL - 19 My friend hyped up the Juicy Sean flatbread sandwich, but I was feeling a rice bowl, so I got that instead. It comes with several cubes of griddled walleye and maybe 1/3-1/2 of a ripe avocado, shredded napa cabbage, pickled onions (I didn't want any in mine this time), two different sauces that sat on top of a huge bed of yellow rice. I enjoyed the bowl with the Spiedo sauce! The walleye was lightly seasoned and prepared well. The avocado added a creamy texture to every bite. The napa cabbage was a nice vegetable option. The rice was so flavorful even on its own, but there was just too much rice compared to everything else. Overall, the bowl was very delicious and flavorful, not too heavy and made me feel good about eating it. It's just expensive for what it was, but I still loved it. We enjoyed our lunch at Spiedo, and I wouldn't mind coming back when I visit Ann Arbor again in the future.

    Their juicy Sean bowl was my favorite. Came with a surprisingly large portion of fish and the sauces that came with it brought out all the flavors and evened out the slight dryness of the rice. The zhoug knight bowl was also tasty but still kinda dry even after adding the sauces. Their portions are huge. We were able to get another meal with all the leftovers!

    I went here with friends today for the first time, it had been on my list for a while. It's a small space but it's larger than it looks - it extends towards the back and that's where the bathrooms are, too. I had the chicken sandwich, and it was very good, but IMO expensive - their flatbread sandwiches are like $15-17 each, with tasty ingredients like half-sour pickles. My friends got the walleye bowl, which was a generous portion, and the rice bowl with tofu, which is gluten-free, and also a large portion. My gluten-free friend also got the chocolate tahini drink, which looked delicious but is small (rather round, but short) - she said it was good and had a frosting-type consistency - and the "party potato" small plate, which she said was just okay. Despite the prices I would definitely come back here, since the food was delicious - the beef sandwich and also bowl looked good, too, plus the falafel burger.

    For lunch, I enjoyed the Zhog Knight bowl, perfectly seasoned. Opted for pick-up, ready in just 20 minutes. The combination of rice, onions, and special sauce was truly delightful.

    Interior of Spiedo, I'm obsessed
    Amanda L.

    I have seen so many different establishments pop in and out of this space, but Spiedo has got to be my favorite one! Painted in various BOLD colors, Spiedo genuinely looks like what the inside of my brain looks like...I imagine! They have both a front and back seating area, with plenty of seating for you to dine in if you'd like, but it's also a great place to grab and go as well. Spiedo is definitely more of a casual vibe, but they have both Mediterranean-style wraps and bowls for you to enjoy and it's like a completely different level of flavor than I have previously experienced from any other Mediterranean-style restaurant, so Spiedo is 10000000% worth a try! My friend and I shared the roasted beets to start and then I got the Rise of the Johnson sandwich and both were so DIVINE! I am dying to try the rest of the menu! The flavor combination of both the beets and my sandwich were so complex and diverse and I really really loved it! It was a party in my mouth, just like the space of Spiedo was a party for my mind! I had a great time here and will heartily recommend Spiedo to everyone who is looking for a quick, fast casual type of meal in Ann Arbor!

    Chocolate tahini milkshake
    Nisha N.

    Went to Spiedo for a casual dinner - you order off a QR code and the food was extremely quick. Service is wonderful despite not having a "traditional waitstaff." Standouts were the appetizers/sides - would recommend the eggplant and the potatoes. The chocolate tahini shake was a great complement to the meal. The zhoug knight wrap was tasty when the spicy zhoug sauce was added on the side! Overall a wonderful meal and would return to try other options

    Lackluster Rice Soup
    Judy N.

    SO DELICIOUS!!! We've been trying to go for some time and it lives up to the high ratings x 2!! I went with a friend and had the Zhoug Knight chicken rice bowl- I'm a rice snob and this rice is SO good! Also, all the sauces come in the side so you can adjust the spice and sauce level to whatever you prefer. My friend enjoyed the Tofu Mafia bowl and really loved her Chocolate Tahini drink. YUM! Note the building is a pink color and all the parking is street (pay) parking in the middle of Ann Arbor. It's a small restaurant but we came early enough that finding seats were not an issue. I went back a second time with my hubby just recently. We started off with the Lackluster Soup (chicken, lemon, dill) which my hubby loved! Very flavorful, it was a thicker consistency (I prefer thinner soups) but I still liked it overall. I got the Return of the Smash rice bowl, it had Spicy Pork, kimchi, cabbage and pickled onions- delicious!! My hubby got the Juicy Sean wrap and loved it also! The portion sizes are pretty big, I think most people will be very satisfied. Spiedo is now my favorite restaurant in Ann Arbor and I can't wait to go back and try more items!

    I was amazed to see how this place was so highly rated. I was only in town for a couple days, so we wanted to try something we couldn't get back home. This place definitely is an interesting take on Middle Eastern food! They had some Asian flavors in their dishes (Thai/Vietnamese-Inspired) and I was pleasantly pleased by how good everything tasted. Farmer's Cheese ($8) - Very decadent! It kind of reminded me of the flavor of mozzarella, but with the texture of ricotta/cottage cheese. Definitely meant to be shared. Not sure I would order this again, but I'm glad I got to try it. Tofu Mafia Bowl ($15) - I was so curious to see how the Asian flavors would play out with this tofu bowl. It surprisingly all tasted really good together. The pickled carrots were refreshing. It was a great base to eat with the other sauces that they offer. Juicy Sean Flatbread Sandwich ($18) - We had to try the walleyed fish! And it did not disappoint. The texture was firm but soft, so it held it's shape. It was very surprising and I loved it. The creamy white sauce was also soo good. Highly recommend! Charred Eggplant ($8) - Absolutely loved this. It was like a deconstructed baba ganoush. The tahini sauce was so good and I loved every bit of it. I highly recommend this place if you are visiting and looking for something new to try!

    Zhoug Knight Rice Bowl
    Gayle R.

    Visiting Ann Arbor we found this gem on Yelp after a a long day of Michigan football. My family was a bit uncertain when we arrived, perusing the menu board with sparse details. The host guided us with the basics as we waited a few mins for a table to become available. Once we had a deeper look at the online menu with images of our food options, we all felt a bit more comfy about making our selections. I was bowled over by the tofu mafia flatbread/wrap. Turned out my 3 dining mates all ordered the Zhoug knight (two flatbreads and one as a bowl). They were equally pleased with their selections. We will definitely return next time we are in town. A great find!

    2-Star Review Fried Feta Party Potato 2.0 Flatbread Side Lackluster Rice Soup Spiedo Sauce.

    This place made our Sunday evening, such yummy Mediterranean food with think out of box approach aka fusion, friendly service and beautiful interior.. as a Turkish who appreciates a good Mediterranean cuisine, appreciate that the spices were chosen so wisely and all the dishes were definitely fine tuned for a great balance in the palate.. Will definitely come back..

    From the street bright green and pink catches your eye. Housed in a space that used to be a different restaurant decades ago, they've certainly painted the building in a way that you can't walk past without noticing it. The staff is kind and knowledgeable, able to answer questions about both flavor and composition of each dish, and make recommendations based on what we were interested in. While denoted as Mediterranean their dishes are a modern twist across cultural flavors and techniques. Between my friend and I we split: Charred cabbage $8: tahini ranch, pomegranate molasses, herbs, pistachio dukkah. What an unexpected combination of flavors! The crispness and slight char on the cabbage leaves mingled with the tangy molasses and crunch of pistachio made for a perfect bite. Cauliflower $8: muhammara, oil cured olive, orange, almond. Toasted cauliflower over a dip of roasted red pepper, walnut and pomegranate molasses--zingy slightly spicy, topped with almond slivers and a sprinkle of parsley. Yum! RIP Smash $15: spit roasted spicy pork, calabrian kimchi, turkish oregano. This is a wrap sandwich composed of house-made flatbread, strips of pork, pork belly, fermented pickled cabbage, lettuce, red onion. A flavor explosion in my mouth. The flatbread was soft and warm but thick enough to hold the sandwich together. Served with a side of spiedo sauce made of tahini and yogurt. There is a vegan spiedo sauce made of cashew nuts as well. What a wonderful meal--I think from the outside it's quite easy to think this a fast casual spot and certainly the decor is quite simple, but the focus is squarely on the food and they really showcase an excellent creativity and hospitality. And for that I give them a big smile and thanks for sharing an amazing experience with us!

    Chicken sandwich Tirshi
    Jimin H.

    This has got to be one of my favorite restaurants in Ann Arbor hands down! The sandwich/wrap was so delicious and the chicken was seasoned perfectly. What really stole the show for us was the Tirshi. It is a delicious dip and has nutty yet subtly fruity flavors from the pomegranates and was just delicious in every bite. You will not disappoint coming here! The service was excellent and highly highly recommend.

    Juicy Sean sandwich
    Ainsley E.

    Awesome decor in here, like wow, it was a joy to sit inside amongst all the color. Absolutely loved the pkhali dip and flatbread. The flatbread SLAPS. Next time I'd love to try the cheese dip because I love labne. Of the two sandwiches we tried I think I preferred the RIP Smash. Full of flavor, crispy pork, and little pockets of yummy kimchi. The Juicy Sean was good for sure -- unlike any sandwich I've had before, but you have to be in the mood for fish. Will absolutely be returning to Spiedo to try their entire menu. Every item is a banger, it's just what you're in the mood for.

    This place is located just to the West of main campus on Williams St. there are only a few reviews…read morebut I agree this place is great. We wanted some Greek food while visiting the campus. People very friendly and helpful. You get to see them make it right in front of you and put the wraps in the grill. We got the Detroit Gyro, Detroit Chicken Shawarma, and the Super Dearborn. We also ordered a bunch of sides (see photo) including hummus, pickles, and peppers. The food was great especially with the additional toppings. I'm sure anything you get it will be great here. Next time I plan to sign up for the rewards program which another reviewer mentioned which I did not know about and try the Mini Combo Family Pack. I cannot wait to go back there.

If I had gotten my full order it probably would have been a 5 star meal. I had the Dearborn sandwich which was basically a chicken shawarma, dark chicken meat with garlic paste and pickles. It was GREAT. I added extra protein so it was stacked. Their garlic paste (toum) was also awesome. My husband was away at a conference so I could get freaky with the garlic and ordered an extra side of it to dip my fries in it, too. Alas, no fries so I dipped my sandwich right into it instead. It was POTENT and delicious! Just how I like it. I also ordered a small hummus and pita chips. It was a pretty generous serving for small and was excellent. Nice and smooth and the pita chips were so good! I ran out of pita chips so I'd add an extra side of those next time. So yes, there will be a next time, because it was really good, but I'll be sure to ask my delivery person to double check that everything is in the bag next time.

It was always delicious and there was always plenty of food. As my sister is opening the delivery order and she advised that everything is very well packaged. Gotta love that because sauces and such tend to make everything messy when you have a to go order. I had occasion to talk with GrubHub a couple of times today as well as Andrea at Jerusalem Garden.
