I really need to update my last review. We stopped out for some kibbeh, tabouli, grape leaves, meat pies, spinach pies, hummus, pita bread and baklava. This was the best idea we had this week. From being pleasantly greeted by an employee to assisting us with our food choices the smells of delicious food filled the air. The kibbeh (football style) was the tastiest I have had in quite some time. Made perfectly and the flavor made me wish I had ordered many more. The tabouli was fresh and crisp and the seasonings were exceptional. Everything we decided to bring home was well prepared and baked

Everything here is phenomenal. I've had the spicy tawook, garlic tawook, tabbouleh, gyro, lamb biryani, pita and humus, and baklava. It's all so good!

Everything is delicious here. The Tabouli is, hands down, the best I've ever tasted. (Not so lemony you wince.) The meat pie are delicious. Wonderful baklava, many varieties, all made by Tiger Bakery, not a commercial place in Detroit. What I like best about shopping here is the interaction w the people behind the counter, a rare experience these days. They really take pride in the stuff--they make it!

Like always I start at the far end of the display cases and work my way to the cash register. Picking my way down and choosing an assortment of delicious items. One of our favorite places because we have never been disappointed with the quality of the different food items. Four stars I guess is my fault because I always spend to much.
