The food was absolutely incredible--rich, flavorful, and truly delicious. Our waiter, Ahmed, was outstanding. We were unsure what to order, and he immediately stepped in with confidence and hospitality, saying, "Let me take care of you." He put together a mixed mezza platter and a beautifully curated lunch selection for us. Every single dish was excellent, and we'll definitely be returning. My brother‑in‑law was visiting after spending a month working in Armenia and stopped in Michigan on his way back to LA. He told us this was the first time he's ever felt that a restaurant in Michigan was worth coming back to. He was blown away--not just by the food and service, but by the entire atmosphere. He kept pointing out the craftsmanship in the design: the tables, the comfortable chairs, the copper accents throughout. This place truly impressed all of us. read more

Our lunch here was really good. Wish their entrees were a bit cheaper or offered some smaller versions of entrees as appetizers. If you want to keep the cost down at lunch, you are stuck with sandwiches. An entree is $27. My daughter and I each had the chicken shawarma sandwich. They are pretty big and very tasty. The chicken is nice and moist. This was also for a big lunch group which we received very good and fast service. She was very attentive to our large lunch group. You don't feel closed in with their large windows and open space. read more

Zarzoor is doing really good with their social media on Insta. I had high expectations for brunch. It fell short. The buffet wasn't as extensive as expected. Too bad so sad! I was excited to eat but the buffet just didn't appeal to me. I ordered off the menu. It was good but not great and I wouldn't drive over there again for it. It's a well done space and there were lots of patrons. It wasn't my speed. read more

Zarzoor Restaurant - Chicken shawarma - Middle Eastern Near Me - Sterling Heights, Michigan

My second time here, both times with a large party, which is great to be able to order a lot of foods and try everything. The combo meals comes with soup and bread also provided for the table - and we also got the small appetizer sampler and chose fattoush salad, hummus and tabbouleh. Everything comes nice presented and is delicious - with plenty of leftovers to take home! They were preparing for a Iftar buffet dinner by the time we left since it was Ramadan and while we went early, it was busy by 6pm. Reservations recommended for dinner time. Private parking lots Does have side banquet room for private parties. read more

We had the best experience at Zarzoor. The foods was wonderful and so flavorful. Service was really good considering how busy they were. Ambiance is a bit loud but it's a family style dining. We spent about $240.00 on 6 adults and two kids. They have so many options and the portions are huge. I didn't get much picture but I can't wait to go back and try other options off of their menu. Plenty of parking Be prepared they are very busy Have something for everyone read more

I loved my experience at Zarzoor with family and am definitely going back soon. Would love to bring friends and family here again. They had a great ambiance including great service and food! This is what we loved: - Tasty and fresh appetizers which are customizable (our fave was the eggplant salad) - Delicious black tea and fun tea ceremony. - Fattoush salad: fresh and tasty - Chicken shawarma: Very aromatic rice - Cream chops: Tender and crispy - Mixed platter: Incredibly tender and juicy grilled meat - Great portion sizes relative to the price! - Decor highlighted the Syrian culture and helped deliver and authentic experience read more

The food was delicious and the staff were fantastic! I really loved how fluffy and light their pita bread was. We got the family platter and it was plenty of food for 8 of us. Although we did get a few extra side dishes such as the salad and a lamb and rice dish. The restaurant has a nice bright atmosphere and is clean. The staff was nice and helpful. They stored our birthday cakes away until after dinner. Our server was super helpful! read more

The place is huge, the kabobs and the lamb tajine was great too and fall off the bone, packed with flavor. The best thing surprisingly was the hummus - the creamiest and tastiest you will ever have. The bread was fresh and food came out quick and service was top notch. Can't wait for my next visit. Overall food, service, and ambiance were outstanding! read more

Everything was delicious! The appetizer platter was our favorite with their bread. So many great options to try out. We loved it! Will be getting this again. The kabob platter was also great. Would skip the falafel next time - lacked a little flavor although it had a good crisp to it. More than enough food - lasted us several days after which was a nice treat. We ordered in so not sure how the restaurant itself is but it looked nice. read more

Our dinner at Zarzoor was the best experience we had in our 4 days "Iraqi Food Tour" . Let's start with the welcoming and friendly atmosphere and hospitality. We were greeted by a very nice young lady who was able to set up a table for our 21 person group. Then comes the service. Our host was HAITHAM (هيثم الرائع) and I had to capitalize his name because he truly was amazing and kind. He went above and beyond to accommodate our group which had 11 kids. Finally, the food was second to none. We tried the iconic "Tashreeb Shawarma" and it was super delicious. We also tried several other dishes and everything was fantastic. Thank you to the entire team at Zarzoor and to the owners who made this a great place for people to enjoy real food. read more

Great food and great prices. Their lamb chops are amazing answer seasoned perfectly. I love their yogurt drink and the bread is killer. It's crowded all the time but it's because the food is so fresh and amazing. Highly recommend. read more

Stopped in here today with a friend for a quick lunch, and we enjoyed it! The atmosphere is very modern and clean. We enjoyed the overall ambiance quite a bit. As you can see by the photos, we got garlic and hummus for an appetizer and both were fantastic. The hummus was smooth and creamy while the garlic packed a fantastic flavor that would scare away any vampires! Chicken shawarma was preferred over the beef shawarma which we found to sort of taste like hamburger. Service was good and I loved the copper water cups which did a great job keeping the water ice cold! Overall, stop in. Food is good and we're excited to try it again! read more

It's new and copper gilded interior, it's nice. The music is maybe a tad loud, but good background. It got even louder for a birthday celebration. We are seated in the corner by the bathrooms, hmm. Nice to watch the tea chai making a brew of tea behind the glass partition. We started off with the small mixed platter, which comes with 3 apps, the larger mixed platter comes with 5 apps. We got the tabouli, hummus and baba ghanouj. Ordered an extra lentil soup, a chicken shawarma plate, large fattoush, no pita with a side of chicken kafta (half order of kafta). $67.80. The hummus and baba ghanouj are both delicious. The baba is nice and smokey. The tabouli was okay. The big chewy bread is quite good. The chicken shawarma meat is tender and moist. The chicken kabob (kafta) meat is dry, as expected. Bummer. The fattoush salad is good at least. The tea was good, lightly flavored. It's more about the behind the back pour and show, right? The hummus, baba ghanouj and chicken shawarma are good good here. The turshi we got after our meal, wanted to try it out here. Most tables got it as a starter. We weren't asked. The pickle juice here is quite potent and none of the veggies did it for me. Bussing off the dirty dishes seems to happen after you leave or pay the bill. A staffer cleaned off our table some after the bill was paid. read more

The food is good, although very comparable to similar restaurants in the area. The ambience is nice with beautiful decor. It is great for larger family gatherings. We ordered two combos for 7 which fed our group of 20 with leftovers. Overall experience here was good. I don't think it's quite 5 stars due to the combo platters being so pricey and does not even include everything (no chicken cream chop in combo for 5 or 7). read more

We visited on 8/30/2025 and ordered a Mixed Grill Plate for two ($49) and an Appetizer Plate ($20). The soup was served cold. When I asked for a fresh one, the waitress simply reheated the same soup and poured it into different bowls--it still came back only lukewarm. The main dish was very disappointing. The rice was cold, and the grilled meats/kebabs were extremely dry, as if they had been pre-cooked and reheated. They looked and tasted like leftovers, not freshly prepared.When I mentioned this to the waitress, she just stared at me and replied, "Oh." No apology, no effort to make it right, and no manager came by to check on us. We spent $75 and left feeling extremely dissatisfied. This used to be one of our favorite restaurants whenever we visited Michigan, but after this experience, we will not be coming back or recommending it to others. read more

Whoaa to the motha luvin' whoaaaaa!!! This place is fairly new to the area as this is my first experience, but it won't be my last... that's for sureeeee! Great ambiance and very attentive staff. As for the food, well, it's quality at its finest! What makes it even better is the little things. The complimentary turshi (pickled veggies) AND grilled olives... first time I've ever had a grilled olive and it was addicting! When ordering the rice you get: bamya (okra stew), curry (potato), AND fassolia (white beans in sauce). ALL of this is part of the order! The freshmade bread was SOOOOOOO heavenly! I couldn't get enough of it. It's not thick, not slender AND a crispy undercarriage... made just right! To the good stuff... decided to go ALL beef! Shawarma, tikka and kabobs. These brought tears to my eyes how good they were. The tikka was my favorite and the Iraqi kabobs are hands down melt in your mouth and will make your heart melt at the same time! The lamb chops were on a league of their own. Coming from the east coast we get skimpy chops, but not these bad boys... meaty and juicy! COME RIGHT and keep them skimpy chops for the birds! So many more details to tell, but I think you need to check it out for yourself... just make sure to bring your appetite, and don't be afraid to box some up for later. You'll thank me and so will your heart & belly =D read more

Service was absolutely horrible. They had PLENTY of servers there and we barely got waited on. We had to waive a server over to ask a question about the menu after 10-15 min of sitting at the table. We never were asked how our food was or if we needed anything during our meal. The water never got refilled either. The food was ok. Ive had better. read more

*** Please Read - upon waling in... to the left is "soft white" bulbs, and cozy atmosphere, very nice and inviting... to the right is extreme daylight bulbs and brightness, a bit over the top and completely different than the "other" side. Not sure why the drastic difference, but ok... that's where they sat us. *** Other than that, food and service were very good. We ordered a medley of everything... Lamb chops, Lamb shank, Cream Chop, Kabobs, Kofta, Houmous, Tabouleh, Fattoush, lentil soup, Shawarma, Tikka, rice, and tea.... the works.... Cant go wrong... read more

What happed to this restaurant? I loved it when it first opened, but the last few times have been off. Today I went there and ordered a beef tika sandwich, and the waiter brought me a tenderloin dinner. I said I asked for the sandwhich specifically with their homemade bread. The waiter just said sorry, but this will be really good. I said I'll keep it I guess but I'm not that hungry. He said thanks because he would have had to pay for it. I ended up paying $35 for the one dinner instead of the 11.99 sandwich I really wanted. My. Husband said his dinner wasn't very hot, and the carrots on his plate were super old looking. Lentil soup wasn't the same. Very disappointed read more

Absolute awful service brought us the wrong meal asked us if we could keep it because the waiter was gonna have to pay for it. Never will we go back used to be good. There was almost a massive brawl in the dining room. Also that same day and it's getting real dirty in there I think this place is all done!!!! Never will go back read more

disappointing experience at zarzoor for lunchtime. the service was not great. while the restaurant was mostly empty and there seemed to be about 15 workers standing around doing nothing but no one was checking on us. our waters were unfilled and the entrees were taking a while to come out. we had to ask about our food for it to finally arrive and it was a bit cold. the food was not bad but nothing special. turshi was not great either. read more
