We came in as a family and were blown away by how tasty the food was. We had an elderly grandma who was able to have a Turkey sandwich. It’s wonderful to find a place that has great Indian and Middle Eastern food with options for the less adventurous ones. We started with some naan and samosas. We tried the cheese and chicken samosas. They were ultra fantastic! I don’t have photos because we gobbled them up too fast. Our grandson couldn’t get enough of the cheese samosa. I got the chicken curry, my husband got the beef Shawarma, both were excellent! The chicken was tender and juicy, the spice level just perfect. My daughter got the Shish Tawook. She’s still raving about how tasty it was. The chicken was succulent and the sauce was flavorful without being spicy. Every time we’re in the city we...

Decided to check this location out after moving out kid to the dorm . Located in the basement / lower level of the international institute of metropolitan detroit. At first look I was a bit wary because even though it was super clean and the tables were really spaced apart it looked so dated and dingy. They offer a variety of middle Eastern food , rice , curry,and pizza. The young lady manning the counter where we ordered was courteous and took the time to explain the items on the menu . The food was excellent and portions generous enough . More than that the service was EXCELLENT. They stopped by and asked how the food was and if we needed anything. Glad we stopped by . Again not the most fancy place but the kindness and attitude of the people running the place makes me want to make...

Great biryani! Real hummus.

We hit this place up after visiting the science center. We tried a little bit of everything, Indian, American, Greek, and Italian, and it all tasted really good. The biryani was delicious! The place was eerily quiet, though, and the service was adequate, just one person taking orders behind the counter and bringing you your food if you are eating in. It's a walk up order style restaurant, and you serve yourself a water or get a canned drink. It's in the basement of a school, so it's a little off the beaten path in the museum/arts district Parking was fairly easy to secure. I'd eat there again, but probably take out, as the atmosphere was a little too quiet, and I felt like we were being too loud just talking normally as a...

I came here because I like to explore new restaurants I’ve never heard of. Finding the restaurant can be a bit tricky, but it’s worth the journey to find. I had a good feeling of the place when I stepped in. It’s seemed likely an authentic hole in wall type place and in my experience that’s where the best food is. It has the feeling of a cafeteria, since it’s in the basement with no windows, but it’s kept clean and feels welcome. My gut was right. This place does not disappoint. The meal was priced very reasonably and the portions were so much! An extra meal for sure! The food quality was top notch and quite delightful. I tried the Indian and it was very good. I am excited to try the other categories of food. I will certainly be coming back!

Absolutely the best "wandering around" place we could have ever stumbled upon! So many unique authentic options. We decided on Beef Schwarma, Veggie Pesto Pizza and Greek Salad...all incredibly delicious! THE GREEK DRESSING IS THE BEST I'VE EVER HAD! TBH I slurped it off my plate! The employees were super nice and genuinely kind. The restaurant was clean and inviting. Kind of hard to find but well worth it, see pic of building. Hidden just across the Detroit Institute of Arts at 111 Kirby. Ohhh my, it was all just so good!!! Thank you for bringing so many different things to one wonderful spot to eat!!! A rare find through and through!!! P.S. we filled out bellies for under $20.00!!!
