We were in Detroit from out of town to see Florence and the Machine at Little Caesar’s Arena and needed to grab a bite beforehand- this spot popped up on my searches and it was the best decision ever! They were doing some construction inside when we arrived so everyone was sat outside- gorgeous night, so that was perfect for us. Service took a LITTLE longer than we anticipated, but the guys were hustling and the place was packed! Our group got- Caesar salad + chicken shawarma, falafel, chicken shawarma entrees, tabouli, and last but certainly not least- the WARM PITA BREAD!!!!! Everything was so fresh and so freaking delicious- 100/10 would legit make the trip again just to eat here. Beautiful establishment. The dessert case looked delightful as well- definitely spotted some baklava I need to come back for! I had a glass of red wine that hit the spot after a 4 hour drive 🤣 all in all, wonderful experience- quality, delicious food- gorgeous atmosphere- would absolutely return. Thank you!!!! :)
