Amazing authentic food, the service and staff were also great answering all the questions we had.
I love this place the food is outstanding! You are treated like family when you come here! They are very friendly and attend to your needs well. The ambience is very small and quaint almost like you're in a Middle Eastern café. I come back here every year for food.
This place has taken my personal #1 best restaurant I have eaten, in my whole life. As a Syrian myself, I can attest that this is genuinely the best Syrian Food I have had anywhere other than in Syria itself!!!!!!! The menu is full of traditional Syrian meals, like the real good homemade stuff- not just shawarma or grilled meats + rice... I'm talking the meals my grandma has cooked all my life. I ordered the grape leaves (with meat) and this is the first restaurant to ever get it right. And not just right, perfection. I swear to God it tasted exactly like how it does in Syria. Like I said I never had this experience in the United States other than when my grandma visits and cooks at home. The owners are so nice, I feel like I genuinely walked into my uncle's house and I'm coming to eat with them. I genuinely think it's these small businesses, family owned, that deserve our money. It is so apparent how much I meant to them as a customer. This is a must try. Don't even think about it.
Delicious food! My boyfriend (born and grew up in Lebanon) said that this was the most similar to his mom's cooking Super friendly people that just want to give you good food and hospitality! Highly recommend the grape leaves and shawarma sandwiches! As some reviews have mentioned there is an up charge for dining in, but we didn't feel like it was such a big deal because it says it right on the menu and they didn't ask for tip. Definitely give this place a try!!
Hands down, one of the best authentic home-like syrian food out there. Great variety in the menu, and friendly service. Highly recommend.
Amazing authentic Syrian food. We love the friendly owners who provide amazing service. Definitely try the lamb here, it's the best prepared lamb in Michigan. The interior of this place provides a great comfortable and homey ambiance. Also PLEASE TRY the baba ghanoush, different from the usual one I get, this is my new favorite. It's AMAZING HERE.
Wowwwwwww this place was a find! It's quite small,m and unassuming, in a shopping plaza that resembles all other shopping plazas. But the food and service is incredible! The signs and menu make it clear that this is Syrian cuisine, so if Dearborn middle eastern restaurants are what you're used to, the flavors here are slightly different but share many menu items. That said - the food is incredible. Baba ganoush, grape leaves, lamb shank with the most amazing rice.... and don't skip the dessert! All wonderful. And they have a freezer section for takeout!
Smaller restaurant with seating or seems like a great takeout place! Grabbed some grape leaves to go! They were a little oily but otherwhile fantastic! Seems like a family owned business with a great gentleman behind the counter to help! Would go back if ever in the area!
