Al Chabab — Restaurant in Dearborn

The most unique is Syrian food in Michigan. Chamo Bakarat Master Chef owner worked in an Aleppo Syrian 5 star hotel that brought his Crafted meals to Dearborn 8 years ago. A couple of signature plates stand out, Muhammara is a nutritious dip originating from the Syrian city of Aleppo. It is made with a combination of roasted red peppers, olive oil, and ground walnuts. The peppers give the dish a particular sweetness and smoky flavor, while ground walnuts make it texturally exciting. Kabob Karaz Famous in Aleppo Cherry Kabobs OMG Wonderful grilled lamb kebabs in inky cherry sauce a must try. She had superb Deep Fried Kibbie spot on and a Syrian Fatoush Salad unique so different we enjoyed. In Aleppo, the meal starts with the explosion of Flavor Red Bread, my addiction only found here in Dearborn. So Delightful Syrian Shakriya Yogurt Soup and Mulukhiyah with Chicken be Middle Eastern Greens think Collard Greens so welcoming in my palate of amazing foods. Finall, WOWED Lamb Fattah a breakfast dis, they have 9 to offer plated up all day long. The king of Aleppo breakfast Lamb Fatteh is a bread based dish usually served at breakfast. The bread is broken up into pieces (where the word Fattah comes from) and toasted or fried. It is then covered with ayogurtt based sauce and combined wither with chickpeas and Lamb topped with unique spice, mind-blowing dish you must have. We've been 6 times the owner and wife run the show, and he told me he lost 80 percent of his business Corona crisis. With 2000 Syrian refugees around Metro DETROIT since 2015, this will be the main dining area for automatic meals from home. Our local newspapers and magazines have overlooked long enough. He's got press in Chicago and Toronto. PLEASE SUPPORT this ma n pa owned operated business. Find hundreds of great reviews around the web.

I’m slightly Shocked at all these positive reviews. This was my first time there. I don’t mind hole in the wall restaurants usually they have the best food- however, walking in I noticed it looked dirty to me- the floors, bathroom, salt n pepper shakers. There was only one other customer in the restaurant at the time . We sit down and I kid you not we were not offered anything to drink the whole time we were there. Our waitress or possibly owners wife was nice but if she is an actual waitress she needs major training. I never in my life have experienced not being offered something to drink while at a restaurant. . We ordered our food which Was mediocre. I ordered chicken Shawarma platter with barely any chicken. Maybe the size of my palm/ 2oz of chicken- I will say I did like the taste of the chicken but the rice was dry/bland. Husband ordered a sandwhich of some sort. On the menu It stated my meal was $15 but when we received the bill it was $18. Slightly pricey if you ask me with not that much food being offered. Kids plate was $8. Again a little bit more than other places. Plus an extra random $2 charge. Didn’t bother asking why. Don’t think i...

Food was amazing. Especially the lamb head, kabobs, and spicy hummus. However, when it came to paying, the prices were incorrectly advertised on the menu (print out new menus instead of just writing the new price in, which I did not see). Furthermore, I was charged $2 for water that cost 20 cents at a grocery store. I dont know why they cant just provide that water as this is Detroit, not Damascus. Also, there was a homeless guys squatting in the bathrolm and he stank. The service was otherwise great. The restaurant appeared to be operated by a husband and wife and the wife who served me was very friendly and gave me a whole large aluminum tray to take home. However, because I was charged $6 more than expected, I did not tip (I would've tipped about that amount otherwise).

The only reason I still gave the restaurant 4 stars is because it was the best food I've eaten in the United States in my 25 years of living here. I might come here again, but Im going to bring my own water and ask about the prices...
