Hawilo Grill — Restaurant in Detroit

EDIT: I've been a pretty regular customer here since they opened, and have raved about when they were new. Sadly, they have been in a steady decline over the last 6 months or so. The plates you get are inconsistent (sometimes you get grilled veggies with your skewers, sometime you don't, sometimes they bring you bread, sometimes they don't). The food quality is still usually pretty good, but my last visit they brought me shish kabob instead of the kafta halabi I ordered (no help from the waiter when this was brought to his attention), and it was inedible it was so chewy. Again, no grilled vegetables this time, but we were offered bread halfway through our meal. Prices have gone up a lot since they opened, and I would be fine with that if the plates were consistent and they could keep a decent waitstaff, but as things are I can get do better elsewhere for less money.

I've been here several times since they opened, and I can't say a single bad thing about this place. The food is fantastic, the service has always been friendly and efficient, and the prices are very fair. The restaurant is very clean and I've never had a problem with my bill. I've eaten through most of the skewers, and everything has been delicious. The whole chicken is definitely worth calling ahead for and is a bargain for the amount of delicious food you get. I question the authenticity of some of these negative reviews, because the negative comments do not reflect the restaurant I've eaten at four times...

I recently tried the chicken shawarma from Hawilo Grill , and I have to say it was absolutely delicious. The shawarma was packed full of tender, juicy chicken, and the spices and marinade used gave it a wonderful flavor. The chicken was cooked to perfection, with just the right amount of char on the edges.

The shawarma also came with a variety of toppings, including crisp lettuce, juicy tomatoes, tangy pickles, and a flavorful garlic sauce. The toppings were all fresh and perfectly complemented the chicken, adding texture and depth of flavor to the dish.

One thing that really stood out to me about this chicken shawarma was the quality of the ingredients. You could tell that everything was fresh and carefully sourced, which made a big difference in the overall taste and experience of the dish.

The portion size of the shawarma was also generous, making it a great value for the price. And despite being a takeaway dish, the chicken shawarma held up well during transport and was still warm and delicious when I got it home.

Overall, I would highly recommend trying the chicken shawarma from [takeaway restaurant name]. It's a flavorful and satisfying meal that is sure to please, and the quality of the ingredients really sets it apart from other shawarmas I've had in the past. If you're looking for a delicious and convenient meal on the go, this chicken shawarma is definitely worth...

NO LONGER HAWILO GRILL. New place is taj shawarma and no where near as good as the old hawilo. Here is my review for the new place.

Probably the worst service I’ve ever received from a restaurant. I don’t ever write bad reviews so this should mean something. The server took all of our orders but didn’t write anything down. We were a table of 5 and he went back to his machine and inputted everything by memory. They brought two shawarmas that were both wrong. Then they brought another wrong order. Then they give our order to another table. They proceeded to take the plate of food from the other table and give it back to us. Who does that? What if they touched that food or started eating from it. I ordered a ribeye shawarma and the meat was fully grey in the inside. At the end they still completely forgot one shawarma after 20 mins of waiting. After we finished eating I went to the owner and complained about the service we received. He apologized for the confusion but argued that the ribeye was cooked to medium well. He wouldn’t apologize for the server messing up orders because he didn’t write down our orders. Overall very bad experience, owner wouldn’t take any accountability and just shrugged me off when I say I wasn’t happy with the service. Food was mediocre at best. Miss the old hawilo grill. Wouldn’t...
