Hands down the best place to get food in Ann Arbor. You can order at your table or at the front counter. The staff is always super friendly. I wish the cups for the tahini shake were bigger - I can't get enough!! The rotating vegetable dishes are sooo good. So don't be discouraged if you are vegetarian. It would be more affordable to go as a group though because you'll want to order a few dishes to try. It's a relatively small space, so don't plan on staying very long.

I saw this restaurant on TikTok and immediately ordered carryout, and glad I did because the restaurant was fairly packed and busy for a Thursday at 1pm. I loved the colors though in the place: pink and red and everything was spacious. I believe there was outside seating as well. Nonetheless, I ordered two wraps one for me and my mom, cabbage and their chocolate shake. The first bite of the wrap, made me realize maybe I should've got two more: SO DELICIOUS! The flavors just bursted in your mouth! I got the mailman and the beef was so tender and good. I'm not sure what the sauce was, but it was so good. I'll truly be thinking about this meal for the next few days. The cabbage was also so good, just so many spices that made sense! The shake was unfortunately not my favorite but everything else 10/10! I will recommend to anyone visiting!

Would highly recommend going on a day date to the downtown library and stopping by Spiedo for lunch. We loved the dip starter and absolutely want to come back for more of their smaller plates. The rice bowls were good, though I felt like the bowl was 75% rice and could've used more add-ins. I would opt for a sandwich next time. We ended the meal with one of my new FAVE desserts in Ann Arbor, their chocolate tahini shake. Service was efficient and friendly too! We will absolutely be back.

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.

Fast casual vibe but fresh, delicious food nonetheless. Definitely a solid lunch option. We arrived right when they opened and host/server advised that they do Mediterranean fusion, brought us to a table, and advised that we can order individually via a QR code. Our food came out pretty quickly and everything was really good. I had the al pastor wrap, my husband had the al pastor bowl, and we had a few sides/pita to share among 3 people. The farmer's cheese and party potatoes were a standout. They're also mindful of food allergies. Wouldn't hesitate to come back here.

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.

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!

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.

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

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!

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!
