Ordered Shish Tawook and Fatoosh. Fatoosh: Delighted when the fried pita chips were on 'top' when I emptied the salad from the styrofoam container onto my plate (meaning they were placed in the container first, on the bottom). Perfect, just right, and so thoughtful! Loved it! Strangest fattoush I've ever had.there were sliced onions on it that seemed seasoned as if it were a Greek salad, and maybe that was a bit influenced by the fact that it was served with a red wine vinaigrette Greek dressing. All traditional flavors such as mint or lemon were missing. It was delicious, but definitely not what I would call fattoush, however I am not an expert, so you can make your own call—though I did learn how to make Greek dressing from the Greeks! Sandwich: Even though I verified that they make everything there, themselves, and that they have both chicken shawarma and beef shawarma, they could not make the sandwich with beef instead of chicken. I cannot fathom how this cannot be. That was a bit disappointing. The man you said the sandwich came with both garlic sauce and tahini, but it was a bit dry, and by the time I was finishing it, I was glad to have the excess Greek dressing on my plate to soak it in. The pickles were there, however not prominent. while I have not very many sandwiches to compare this to, the coolness of a garlic sauce with the zip of a pickle with the meat and its spices and juices that I was as hoping for were a bit lacking. I can hope that as business picks up as COVID-related downtime fades, perhaps things will improve a bit. Until then... maybe I'll stop in and say hello as the staff was great. Lovely. The energy was really good, and everybody was working; nobody standing around looking at their phones, which was refreshing, and the staff appreciation invested in what they were doing and I completely back that kind of integrity. I love that. So in summary, I'll be back... in some form. But definitely not to order what I ordered, and maybe not to order food at all; we'll see.

This was definitely a different crave for me, I was thinking of a slight healthy but tasteful meal which that it was! The steak was pretty tender but could’ve had less fat & ends I prefer all meat with no fat and been more tender. I also added chicken to my wrap & the chicken was very good & the seasoning mixed with the steak, mixed veggies, & the sauce they put on their shawarma’s! The fries were well seasoned & fried crispy but soft in the middle, I say it definitely was one of the best shawarmas I’ve had in west Michigan! I definitely will be supporting and giving this establishment another shot and see what else on the menu is really my favorite to say the least because 1 item can never give you the full experience of a restaurant or its best dishes, as well as factoring I’ve never really ate middle eastern style food much besides the shawarma’s because it’s what I am familiar with! The environment was chill as well as the employees, also have affordable pricing not to costly to make a custom request! 🤔 what’s your favorite middle eastern dish? Or something you’ve liked?!

First time patron. Incredible customer service. Super friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. From my view, clean work space and dining area. Due to Covid, most orders are takeout. I purchased the Mixed Combo for 1 and an extra falafel, with rice as my side. Food was great! Shish Tawook was flavorful and tender. Rice was very good! Falafel were done perfectly. Stuffed grape leaves were different than Ive ever tried before. Great flavor profile. Garlic sauce is your basic sauce. My only two MINOR gripes: the kafta and "hot sauce". The kafta was not bad...I've just had better. The "hot sauce" (possibly just this batch), was an illusion. It was just crushed tomato sauce. Zero heat! Overall, I will definitely go back! Great staff, ample portions, amazing flavors,...what else do you want? ☺️

Came here for dinner after a concert at Miller Auditorium. Their hours are awesome, they're open past midnight! The cashier was very friendly. I asked for some waters and he gave us some without charge 👍🏻 We started off by sharing some hummus. That was solid hummus! Super creamy with great taste, I wish I had more 😂 For my entree I got the Lamb Mandi. I hate to say it but I didn't really care for it. Some of the lamb was fatty, and the onions were very strong! I think it would've tasted better if they were caramelized. But between the good service and that really good hummus, I'd definitely give it a second chance.

Tried Middle Eastern Appetite today! Always passed by this restaurant but never stopped, glad I did! Got the Shish Tawook! The chicken was grilled to perfection and had tons of flavor! The Pita was flavored nicely. I took the chicken and rice and veggies and put them all in the wrap and ate it! The rice was a great addition to the plate, and when I was done with the pita, I mixed everything and ate it! The restaurant is roomy and cozy and welcoming! The staff was amazing as well and really appreciated the recommendation especially for someone who doesn’t eat a lot of middle eastern food!

We had gone to a popular mediterranean restaurant at drake only to be told the dine in was closed at 8:05 itself while the restaurant closes at 9. Although people were still dining inside and we are regulars there. Anyways we were glad to go to Mediterranean Eastern Appetite instead. The food was really nice and fresh. The best thing was the great service provided by the two gentleman which the other so called popular restaurant can learn a thing or two from. The restaurant is located near the campus and is a big convenience for people looking for "Halal" restaurants.
