    Lemon-oregano shish tawook was nicely flavored. With fresh salad, garlic sauce, and delicious pita.
    Ann W.

    All afternoon I had been undecided between steak or shish tawook. Did I want a thick, grilled steak with an all-dressed baked potato or lemon-oregano flavored chicken cubes with garlic sauce and hummus? In the end, I went with the chicken. The lemon-oregano shish tawook was assertively flavored but not as tender as I am accustomed to. The garlic sauce was creamy and mild. I loved the hummus, a substitute for rice/fries for a slight upcharge, which was more creamy than gritty, and the soft, thick, and warm pita bread that accompanied the meal. The salad, which also accompanied the meal, was fresh and flavorful. While I did take-out, the restaurant was of a reasonable size to accommodate a weekend crowd.

    The good and service at The Sheikh are outstanding. On this visit, we shared lamb ghallaba and a small hummus. The ghallaba was full of veggies, and the veggies had an incredible flavor! My favorite part might have been the fresh mushrooms, which took on the flavor of the sauce perfectly, though the onions and tomatoes were scandalously delicious too. Lest we forget, it was lamb ghallaba, and the lamb was lean, tender, and cooked perfectly. I would order this dish again and again. On another note, their fresh baked pita bread is scrumptious, with a slight hint of sweetness that's a pleasant surprise. When paired with the creamy hummus, the combination is stellar. Although my husband and I shared this meal, we still went home with leftovers AND we were stuffed! If I wasn't off from teaching this summer, I'd have been the envy of everyone at work during lunch. As I mentioned, service was also notable, and our friendly server was generous enough to give us a few pieces of bread to take home with our leftover hummus. Reheat that pita bread in a damp paper towel for a few seconds on each side and it's nearly as good as fresh. Yum! If there was anything I'd change, it's the generic cash wrap area. I'm not sure if it's its location, but it acts as a focal point even though the rest of the restaurant has a warm, welcoming feel. Considering that's the only thing I'd change, I'd say The Sheikh is doing a remarkable job. I look forward to reading about your favorite dish!

    We tried this place today as my husband wanted to treat me and I am so missing authentic food . This place was amazing the beef was incredible as well as the lemon chicken soup and don't get me started on the coffee and baklava. Meals are large and I would recommend sharing unless you are striving or like big meals. The service was so amazing and nice . The food amazing - do yourself a Cavour and go there , it's a really great experience .

    A woman answered the phone when I asked if they had dine-in available, she said yes. Then I asked how late they were open and she asked me what, she asked for dine-in and I said yes. She said 9. I thanked her and that was our call. Short, no-nonsense and brief. We sat at a table but were moved to a booth after two ladies left. The pita bread going around looks good. We should pick places that don't have a pita oven. Too tempting. Our waiter is super friendly, attentive, accommodating and helpful. He is warm and nice too. We ordered the sheikh platter. All chicken shawarma and chicken kebobs, baba ghanouj instead of rice or French fries. No bread under the hummus either. The house salad was good, lettuce was crisp. Dressing was nice and tart and some sumac to boot too. The hummus is yummy, the baba ghanouj is decent, not super smokey and quite smooth too. It's chilly in here. The air seems to be on or something. Good thing I have my down coat on then. The falafel is not bad, not as hard and crunchy outside, but still crispy and the inside is soft and moist too. The shawarma meat is good, it's more like shredded chicken. There are some big pieces left too. The meat is nice and moist. Would be so good in a taco right now. The chicken kebab meat is good, it's not too dry at all. Their garlic is made with olive oil, it's good. No hot sauce here, some liquid hot sauce, not quite right for the meat though. Some chili sauce would be so good. We had about half of the doubled shawarma meet and almost 1 kebab left. Service was really good. The waiter is really great at his job. Makes everyone feel welcomed and important. Food was out quickly and we never had to wait for anything. Service was the best part of our meal for sure. The price was pretty reasonable for what you get. Food was overall good. I think some veggie grape leaves and some lentil might have bumped up the food value for me. The meats were all nicely cooked and retained its moisture too.

    They keep it simple, easy and safe. The person who took my order was friendly and attentive. I wanted only half of falafel plate. He said they generally don't do but customized it for me. Ordered falafel, DebonedChicken (with fries and salad) and Boneless grilled chicken plate. The rice was topped with crunchy pine nuts. I chose lentil soup with entree, it was okay. It also comes with a massive bag of freshly baked warm pitas. The flavors were good and chicken was cooked to perfection. Prices are very reasonable and nice portion size. It's located with lots of food places around. Shared free parking. Convenient no touch carry out service, they bring your order to the car. I am really looking forward to returning.

    Wow. Excellent, but not everyone gets a trophy. The Lions don't always win. But I digress... Food. Generous portions. Plan on bringing home leftovers because each dish serves twice (or even triple) the amount than what the menu lists. Or, bring extra-hungry people to gobble up the food. The meats and chicken were full of flavor and tender; the salads were fresh and savory. The pitas are homemade and freshly baked. The only miss was that the toum was given after it was asked for. Service. Greeted upon entering, and were offered to sit anywhere. Food was delivered quickly, albeit there was only one other table already there when we ordered. The server was efficient, friendly, personable, and accommodating. Actually, he was quite charming. Atmosphere. The decor consisted of pictures from Lebanon and Arabic music, consistent with the culture and the establishment's theme. The place is about less than 40-seats, which is our desired preference for most restaurants: it's big enough that you don't feel cramped, but it's small enough to facilitate a personal, intimate experience. Cleanliness. The restroom was stocked and clean, but a bit cold. As we were about to eat, one of the rolled silverware's napkins was a bit soiled. The server apologized and quickly replaced it with more fresh napkins. Overall, excellent job, Sheikh! We will keep this place in mind next time we're in the area.

    chicken shawarma sandwich

    There's a reason why I used to drive an hour+ just for their chicken shawarma sandwich. Simply the best!!! Thank you again for sharing your tips for making homemade toum.

    Lamb on the left, beef on the right
    Christina Z.

    The meal was perfect from start to finish. We started with the salad, it was light and refreshing with a lemon vinegar dressing. Next up was the homemade bread. The bread alone is to die for!! Initially, it wasn't warm but we asked the server and she brought perfectly toasted bread with our entrée. The smell of it wafts up and entices you from the end of the table. It's amazingly light and buttery without the use of any butter (I think). We took some home and I was stuffed but I still couldn't stop the urge to immediately eat another piece in the car. We ordered the lamb and beef kebab with French fries. The plate mistakenly had rice but we told the server and she immediately put in the order. We had freshly made fries in minutes. The rice also ended up being delicious. Our server was sharp and attentive. Now let's get to the star of the show, the meats!! The lamb and beef kebab was perfectly cooked and oh so tender. I thought the lamb was beef at first because it was so clean without the distinctive gamey flavor lamb has sometimes. Add tahini sauce on the side to top it all off. This meal made me feel like I was in Lebanon eating at a local shop. I'd highly recommend checking this restaurant out, I'll definitely be there again soon.

    Al Jannah is great. I am happy they're in my part of town. I went from having zero options to get…read moreYemeni food seven years ago to at least three today. And that's an amazing thing! The food is even better than its predecessor in the same location. In my opinion, it has the best fahsah (even better than another Canton location or their Dearborn twin restaurant). More flavor, more meat, and a tastier crunchier bread to go with it. The other options have more variety than many other places. I like the broiled chicken, the chicken shawarma, shawarma combo... tons of delicious options. I can't stop thinking about the fahsah, though. It's a "stick in your mind forever" kind of dish, especially the way they prepare it here. The appetizers (Kibbee, Ghanouj, Hummus, Spicy Potatoes) were all fantastic. Careful with the veggie grape leaves, though! They tasted like a pile of bitter lemon and were a bit tough to eat - only bad thing I've ever had here. One of the biggest improvements over the restaurant that was here before is the service. Previously, we went and felt ignored as the servers left water cups empty and didn't bring parts of our meal and chatted with their friends - the service was terrible. This new restaurant, with a different menu but with some familiar items, doesn't share the same fate - the team members here are attentive, and friendly, and the place feels cleaner and more well-kept. I highly recommend going to Al-Jannah. Did I mention the fahsah enough times yet? :)

    The place is so good!!…read more A friend recommended me to come here and I said why not give it a try since I was in the area today. Staff were amazing. So kind and so funny and very helpful on my selection. It's a clean restaurant and I mean very clean. They have about 10 tables to sit down and enjoy your food. Do you see how big this bowl aka BOX is?!? I ordered the chicken shawarma bowl and it might be one of the best chickens I have had. It was tender and full of proper flavor. The toppings were fresh as well. They top it with garlic and I like it. Their garlic has a kick to it so you know it's freshly made. Their menu has a good selection of different things to order. So there's something that everyone will definitely love. They also make smoothies. They specifically in a Afrikano style which is more spicy. I wasn't feeling spicy today, but I'll definitely come next time to try it. I'm glad I finally gave this place and try and will most definitely be back to try more food.
