    Lamb Shank and Rice
    Chad C.

    I came here for the first time today with six other people. My buddy's cousin raves about this place. It is not a very big place, and it looks very divey, but don't let that stop you from going here. The kitchen is wide open, so you can see everything going on. We all ordered the Lamb Shank, by the way, was delicious. The guy working and making to food was very busy and quickly preparing the food. He was also nice and friendly and made you feel very welcome. I was Todays's years old that I learned about Chaldean Town and the history of it. And that Sullaf is the last man standing from that. Food is good; there is no menu. The entrees are whatever the cook makes that day.

    Best Chaldean food I have ever tasted!

    In the middle of a area that has been completely burned down or left to crumble, Sulaf is still there catering to local business men who know how good the food is, I have been eating here for 20 years his special spices kari still blows away any I have ever had. His beef shawarma n rice no one even comes close to this taste! He might not be very presentable as far as the resturant goes n the people sitting there but the food is amazing! Lock your doors bad area lol

    Carry-out. Chicken kabob & rice. Stews: Okra, curried potatoes, & white bean. Not shown: a kufta sandwich that didn't survive the trip. $18.

    Let me start by saying that the food here is very good and worth the awkwardness of the place itself... This place would get five stars if they knew how to deal with customers. They know how to cook a great meal, one of the best plates you can get for the price, but they don't know how to take an order (they don't even have a menu to look at), seat a table, communicate with the general public, etc. They could probably attract diners from far and wide if they got these simple business basics right. Most people probably wouldn't be comfortable going in the place, but the food makes it worthwhile. It seems like all the other rest of the places in Chaldean Town went under, so this is the last place, and probably the only Chaldean/Assyrian restaurant left in Detroit.. even it if wasn't, it'd still give other places decent competition. I don't know if this place has solid hours, but they're usually open during the day.. so give them a try! Example of the food: a kufta sandwich, a chicken kabob plate (with rice, veggies, and pickles), and three bowls of stew (one okra, one white bean, and one curried potato).. enough for feed three hungry people easily, $18. Can't be beat! Get there before this place becomes history! http://www.freep.com/story/news/columnists/john-carlisle/2015/08/01/detroit-chaldean-town-last-days/30993903/

    I wanted curry randomly one day and I discovered this place, thanks to google. I absolutely love Sullaf. It is so authentic! The kitchen is open, so you can see everything being prepared and everything is made to order. I always get the catfish (fried), with rice and red curry and it's always amazingly fulfilling!

    Chicken was Delicious!!!!
    Drew S.

    A true hole in the wall type place with ten tables and an open kitchen!!! The owner/chef comes over and tells you what he has made fresh for that day and you tell him what you want. Obviously, it is not a vast menu. But everything He brought us was delicious. Between three of us we had grilled chicken, lamb shanks, and a huge salad along with rice, curry soup and spinach soup. We couldn't finish it all. 25 bucks all in. Unbelievable. It's not going to win any decoration awards. But you don't have to wonder about the kitchen because it's right there to see. Mostly local tradesmen etc when we had lunch. Parked on the street out front. Not sure if there's any other parking.

    Lentil soup, white bean stew, and curried potatoes - all incredible!
    Samantha R.

    Amazing restaurant! There are several vegetarian options, I had the curried potatoes, white bean stew, lentil soup, rice, pita, tea, and side of onion, tomatoes, and pickled cabbage - all excellent, nice sized portions, and very inexpensive. I can't wait to go back and try the okra stew!

    Place is amazing. It has no menus, and the only available is whatever they haven't ran out for the day. Definitely worth going to.

We usually cater from La Saj, but I loved Mr. Kabob's chicken shawarma wraps so much that I decided to try the catering menu--and wow. Absolutely fantastic. The chicken shawarma, kafta, tabouli, hummus... and even the rice was excellent (not the sad filler rice you politely ignore and then quietly abandon). Do not let the gas-station address fool you. The moment you walk in, you realize this is the nicest gas station you've ever seen: clean, bright, and stocked with an impressive selection of spirits, beer, and wine. Honestly, the food is that good, and the service is great, too. When I came to pick up my order, they even gave me some baklava on the house. When the apocalypse hits, this is where I'm hiding.

They have an extensive menu to include vegetarian options which was nice to see. They also have many local brands to include chips, sodas, and other small local business products (caramelized nuts, baked goods, etc.)! On the topic of local businesses, they also had a board which allowed local owners to post business cards and event alerts, fantastic for drawing the community together. Now, I ordered a Reuben as a lover of corned beef and sauerkraut. It was delicious and sizeable, a fair portion size for the money as well. The chips were also delicious having gone for the salt, pepper, and onion variety. A solid crunch and bursting with flavor. Among the positives I have two negatives, both of which are not adequate enough to lower their star ranking. Firstly, it took around 20-25 minutes to get our food after ordering. I rarely hold timing against a restaurant as having worked in food, I know lunch rush exists and things happen. To mitigate this (for those in the area) I believe they have an online ordering system, which I would recommend utilizing! Secondly, they do not have indoor seating, so it is a very grab and go type establishment. This is counteracted by the multitude of benches around Royal Oak, though it would be nice to have some amount of seating, especially for those with accessibility needs and those waiting on their food. Overall, Oak House Deli is solid and delicious and I will definitely stop by again when I am in the area!
