Located in the best plaza! They have excellent prices for delicious foods and big quantity!! When we first tried it, I got the spinach pie plate and my husband got a wrap. I did not like the pickles in the wrap and the spinach pie plate was kinda meh and skimpy in it's portions. Then we tried different things and I loved my chicken wrap that came with garlic sauce and I requested no pickles! It was delicious and filling!! My husband also got another wrap and loved it! We want to try their other plates. We got our food to go so I cannot comment on the ambiance and service. They seemed very busy though so it says something about their food! read more

Stop using iceberg lettuce would be great ! We went there yesterday at 6pm and all the tables had the chairs on top of them , not very inviting . Also I don't like giving bad reviews but the pitas were chewy like they were microwaved in a plastic bag ! read more

I am usually skeptical about eating in a strip mall... walked in with zero expectation and we pleasantly welcomed by Omar . After walking around the University of Michigan we were famished . I was on a religious fast and hence vegetarian and my daughter got the chicken shawarma , hubby got the falafel sandwich. We got carrot apple juice , strawberry guava smoothie and hot chai . My lentil soup was like a warm hug in a bowl so perfect on autumn evening. Everything tasted delicious . The bathrooms all the way in back but well maintained. read more

Solid Mediterranean food. They close at 7pm but refuse dine in at 630pm. What a stupid business model

We ordered their delicious food to cater our end of year golf banquet, for 35 people. The food was delivered hot and on time. We had falafel, hummus, baba ghanoush, pita, kibbeh, cauliflower, shish tawook, shish kafta, grape leaves, rice and fattoush salad. Plus, a platter of baklava for dessert. Everyone loved the food! We are so happy with the quality of the food, and their service is fantastic! read more

Stopped in here for a quick takeout dinner with my dad. I had heard good things about it from friends but had never been before. My dad, bless his heart, was a bit overwhelmed with the menu and the guy working was incredibly helpful and patient. We ordered two chicken tawook Greek salads ($11.50 each), side orders of hummus and tabbouleh (I believe each were around $6), and an extra side of toum. The tabbouleh and hummus were both excellent - the hummus in particular was some of the best I've had to be honest. It was very light and airy and had an excellent flavor. The toum was also top-notch and made for an excellent complement to the meal. The salads were good, they were very generous with the feta cheese and the portions were large. The chicken was tender and seasoned well. I would probably opt to get one of the platters next time I come since the salad was just a little boring. Overall this is a great, affordable, family-operated spot serving up excellent food. I would definitely return either for takeout again or to dine in. read more

Solid lunch option in a convenient, bustling location (the Westgate strip/area). I stopped in here in an attempt to treat myself with a yummy lunch to fuel up for a couple hours of focused work at the nearby AADL Westgate branch. Walked into Star's Cafe and ordered for dine in - the Chicken Tawook sandwich combo meal, which comes with hummus and tabbouleh. Got a number, sat down at one of many small tables inside (pretty no frills and casual), and waited while my meal was prepared and brought to me (about ~10min later). The meal was good! Very generous portion for one, and tasty. The chicken in the sandwich (wrap) was flavorful and juicy, with crisp veg and a nice pickle crunch. The garlic sauce was pretty mild (I do usually like a good pungent garlic sauce, even if others around me don't appreciate it). The hummus was decent, with the tahini flavor forward. Tabbouleh was ok, not the best in Ann Arbor. But it was all best combined (ie scooping some hummus and tabbouleh onto the wrap with each bite). The meal came with an extra baggy of pita, which I didn't think was needed. Good value for the price and amount of food. One thing - it's January and it was really cold inside the cafe. I needed to keep my heavy winter coat on, fully zipped up, to be comfortable dining in. Looking around and it wasn't just me; most everyone else there were also wearing their winter coats. read more

I was realy looking forward to a wonderful Gyro. It was edible, but not that good. I threw half of it out.

Delicious!! A perfect location, fantastic food and the people are de-E-lightful. I've eaten here so many times that I sometimes just make up a dish. You know what? They always deliver something so tasty and always whole foods. None of the boxed stuff. The service is perfect! read more

I finally got to try this place. It's a cute, small spot with limited seating. I came at lunch rush and they were very busy, with good reason. I ordered the cauliflower sandwich combo, which came with hummous and tabbouleh. It was all excellent! I'll return to try the Riz b har sandwich , falafels and meat items. read more

Meat dishes were dry carry out orders were messed up on 2 occasions Never again will I ever eat their dishes again

The vegetable standards, like hummus, baba ganoush, salads, falafel are good. Meats were dry or overcooked or reheated. Whatever the reason, not good eating/stringy/chewy. read more

This place has the best shawarma & falafel in AA. Omar is the friendliest guy and provides exceptional service along with everyone else! 100% recommend. It's a small shop with seating and a good vibe. read more

This is a cute "hole in the wall" cafe that is hidden within a shopping center. I wanted to try this place because Middle Eastern/North African cuisine is my favorite. I ordered the gyro salad and falafels. The falafels came out steaming hot! They were crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. They came with tahini sauce and the dish was delicious! The greek salad was fresh and crisp with savory dressing. So good! I will definitely be back! So glad I found this place! read more

We ordered a big stack of take-out from Star's (I think the platter for two and the baklava assortment). It was a LOT of food, and there was some good and some not-so-good: The good: the baklava was unreal amazing. It tasted fresh and very pistachio-forward, which we loved. The sauces were all incredible and the falafels, grape leaves, and kibbeh were gone within minutes. The pita and hummus were fantastic as well. The not-so-good: sadly the meat was all really over cooked for us. That could be a personal preference, but the shish kafta was so dry it was hard to eat. We will definitely be back to try their sandwiches and more! read more

I've been to Westgate Shopping Center a few times, but it's the first time Star's Cafe caught my eye! I don't know why I didn't notice it before, but I'm glad it did. I ordered over the phone for a pick up within 15 minutes. It was a fantastic value for the amount of delicious food: *Hummus - ordered a medium and it was in a large takeout box! They also provided plenty of pita to go on along with it! *Baba Ghannouj - loved how creamy & smoky this was. Very tasty. Also ordered a medium so we had lots of dips! *Chicken Gyro Wrap - great flavors & juicy chicken! *Gyro Plate (Marinated Slices of Lamb & Beef served on Mjaddara [Cooked Lentil & Rice] and Tabbouli Salad) - This takeout box was so heavy because it was packed with the food. The gyro was really tasty! When I come back next, I gotta try some of their spicy foods as well as see if I can order some pickles on the side..they were delicious!! read more

I love coming here every week for their delicious and flavorful chicken sharwarma. The owners are absolutely amazing - they're always so friendly and quick in serving me. I can't recommend this place highly enough! read more

Quick, easy, and delicious. Presently, only serving up takeout. It is a great option for Mid Eastern fare as we had beef kabobs, chicken tawook, cauliflower, hummus, and fatoush salad, and falafel. Everything was great. Surprisingly, the chicken was my favorite. even though it was white meat it was tender and moist. The kabob was a little bland, but we ordered extra garlic sauce that adds a burst of flavor to every bite. The meat dishes came with rice on the side. They also included a bunch of pita. read more

Delicious falafel wrap and grape leaves! The price was so reasonable and very friendly, fast service.

Excellent staff, excellent customer service and excellent food ...not much more can be said.highly recommended.

Good food. I have enjoyed the chicken tawook pita wrap, and the mujadra plate. They do lots of to go business and have a small to medium interior seating area. They clearly get to know their regulars and service is friendly. read more

Great place for lunch or an early dinner with free parking and access to a library and TJMaxx! The sandwich's are always fresh and quick and the staff is friendly. My favorites are the falafel and eggplant feta pita. Fries are awesome! The spinach pie is okay, more of a bread baked with spinach inside. I prefer the a phyllo type with loads of spinach inside. Best Mediterranean restaurant in Ann Arbor IMO. read more

This café is located in the Westgate shopping center in Ann Arbor Michigan. The falafel was nice and hot, airy and fresh, baklava was yummy and the chicken and rice soup was the star of the show, lemony and absolutely delicious!!! The chicken tawook was a little dry but that's okay because it was still tasty. I will definitely be back! read more

The service and the food was not good, the food was bland, we ordered shawarma sandwiches and they were so plain, I could barely taste any garlic sauce and the meat was not flavorful either read more

Their food is really good and affordable. The best part is the hospitality. Lovely to be here.

While the agave smoothie was delectable, I wasn't too sure about our other orders. I may be picky, but I found the Falafel patties to have some burnt taste to them without many other flavors. Same goes for the lentil soup. Wish I would have gotten some other meats and other veggies, as those seemed to have the best reviews! Didn't have to wait long for the food, (lots of staff) though, and there were lots of options to choose from. A nice place to stop by if in the mood for some sort of Mediterranean as they should have something to your liking- just don't expect anything of super high quality or taste. read more

I was in town and craving some good Middle Eastern food. Pulled up Yelp and found this place. I was also looking for convenience to be able to quickly park and get my food. With that being said, this place is located inside of a strip mall with plenty of parking available in the parking lot. The customer service is top notch, the food is fresh and flavorful! I got the lunch special with the chicken sandwich and Hummus. They have limited seating indoor and a few tables outside. Overall, a wonderful experience! I would highly recommend! read more

The crushed lentil soup is the BEST i've ever had. This is some seriously good & authentic food. The chicken gyro, falafel & hummus are delicious. I always get extra tahini and garlic sauce to pair with anything and everything. This is a place I always order ahead from, as it can get busy during the lunch hour. read more

Star's Cafe is just a gem. We've been there in person prior to the pandemic and enjoyed dining in. We've also ordered takeout a few times and it was quick, easy, and safe. Everything is just so good. The Riz B Har sandwich is one of my favorite sandwiches...of all time? The combination of items (put pickles and toum on anything and I'm there, honestly) and however they prepare the eggplant is just incredible. Their sides are very good, too -- hummus, baba ghannouj, tabbouli, falafel all solid. I've also enjoyed their lentil soup. My partner enjoys the Spicy Chicken sandwich. Frankly, I don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu here. read more

We got a shawarma, gyro, smoothie and juice and it was all very mediocre. I was a bit sad it wasn't as good as the ratings.
