The food was amazing. Came here specifically to try the SOJOK meat. The customer service was on point. I ordered the Al Jabal sandwich, and of course, why wouldn't you, it's named after the place after all ! The sandwich bread had a wonderful crispy crunch on the outside, but soft later on the inside, the meat was spiced to perfection. The veggie were super fresh. The sauce was amazing. Stopped here in a sandwich flurry to buy a few local bites and review. The flavor of the sandwich was one of a kind and will definitely get back. The toppings and veggies were so fresh. The old owner has returned to this original restaurant he started many years ago, after the person who took over after his absence, didn't manage to keep up the customer service. The new (returned) manager "Moe" was very friendly and outgoing and full of conversation about the owners return to the food game and his claim to fame. Overall a great experience. I will be back to try some more sandwiches, but I'll tell you, the food was incredible. Gotta try them out. Tell Moe I sent yah !!!

Ambiance.... It's very fast food/get a carry out to-go vibes since you walk up to a cash register and order vs being waited on. I've only been once and got a chicken shawarma sandwich. It was delicious! No complaints.

I ordered a Sojok Sandwich which is basically a pita wrap with Sojok as the meat. I had to look up what Sojok was: it is a dry, spicy and fermented sausage consumed largely in thr Middle Eastern and Central Asian regions. It apparently consists mainly of ground meat and some animal fat (typically beef or lamb). Flavor-wise, the wrap was delicious! The pita wrap was slightly crispy but soft on the inside. The meat was thick, super savory with some serious heat and spiciness. The wrap also came with garlic sauce, cucumbers and pickles which added some crunch to the bite. Overall it was a really satisfying meal. I would certainly order it again.

I Ordered carry out and I was excited to get home to take pic's for my yelp review 2022 (first review was 2016). I was greatly disappointed when I opened the bags and found all my food in Styrofoam containers. I understand to run a business well you need to be cost effective, but with that approach you won't get any exciting free advertising via a patron's yelp reviews, at least not mine. The food is still great! I just miss all those great containers with the see-through lids like the ones in my Bahama Breeze pics. Grant you I could've taken pics of the food with the lids open but the picture's composition would have been ruined by the cheap Styrofoam food containers THE END! no photos

I definitely have my favorite middle eastern spots in metro Detroit, so I was curious to try this place out after seeing so many reviews. I ordered the tawook sandwich and it was very tasty/ had good sizes of chicken in it! I definitely felt like it was a great value for the money ($4). I also got the entree of tawook ($15) and to me it was lacking a bit- it did come with two sides but I usually see the meat given with rice always and then with two sides? In this case it came with veggies which Is good if you are trying to avoid carbs. I think at other middle eastern restaurants rice is normally always given with it. That technicality aside the place was hopping when I went in which is always a good sign and the guy at the counter was very nice and polite. Great customer service always goes a long way. The hummus was good, but I have had better. To me it felt a bit too oily as it was super creamy but the flavor was still good. I would come back though for a great tawook sandwich!
