Let me start by saying that the food here is very good and worth the awkwardness of the place itself...
This place would get five stars if they knew how to deal with customers. They know how to cook a great meal, one of the best plates you can get for the price, but they don't know how to take an order (they don't even have a menu to look at), seat a table, communicate with the general public, etc. They could probably attract diners from far and wide if they got these simple business basics right. Most people probably wouldn't be comfortable going in the place, but the food makes it worthwhile.
It seems like all the other rest of the places in Chaldean Town went under, so this is the last place, and probably the only Chaldean/Assyrian restaurant left in Detroit.. even it if wasn't, it'd still give other places decent competition. I don't know if this place has solid hours, but they're usually open during the day.. so give them a try!
Example of the food: a kufta sandwich, a chicken kabob plate (with rice, veggies, and pickles), and three bowls of stew (one okra, one white bean, and one curried potato).. enough for feed three hungry people easily, $18. Can't be beat!

The rice is perfect and the meats are seasoned perfectly. The fresh cut vegetables and the potato curries sauce is incredible. It's a small place and in a interesting place on 7 mile. Right off Woodward. I will be going back here often. Dont expect to ear after you leave. The food is filling and worth...
Read moreHorrible customer service. I was referred by a regular.The guy told my friend $25 then charged the wife $40 when she paid. $40 for a small plate of horrible overcooked food. Then I watched as an African American man came in to inquire about employment and the owner rudely shewed him out. This is not how you run a business at all. Not to mention there's no menu. @ Mezza in West Bloomfield & Southfield you can get twice as much food, MUCH better quality for...
