La Vie Mediterranean Grill — Restaurant in Novi

DO NOT RECOMMEND. I'm shocked this place is so highly rated. I grew up on Iraqi and Lebanese food. Worst tasting, overpriced chicken shawarma I've ever had. It costs $12.40 per chicken shwarma sandwich. Chicken was cold, bland, and dry. Tasted like cumin and no other seasoning; the texture seemed like canned chicken. Piece of hair on my sandwich foil.

Ordered chicken shawarma with extra garlic sauce and all the toppings. The sandwich has extra sauce (a bit too much mayo in the garlic sauce), chicken, tomato, lettuce, raw white onion, pickles, no pickled veggies, just pickles. Told it would be ready in 15 minutes. I arrived in exactly 15 minutes. When I requested my order, person behind the counter placed my wrapped up sandwich in a sandwich press. The way the sandwich was pressed made all of the toppings and the sauce push to one side of the sandwich and all the chicken push to the opposite side. Based on the white piece of hair on my foil, I suppose someone with strands of gray hair prepared my sandwich.

They hand out punch cards to earn a free shawarma. I wouldn't eat there...

This place may be the best value for your dollar for Mediterranean food in Novi! I lived across the street for over a year before trying out the restaurant and I'm kicking myself for all the time missed!

It's definitely a chipotle-style, choose what you want restaurant, but they're very willing to accommodate your dietary restrictions and preferences within the scope of their dishes. The ingredients are fresh and flavorful and there's a good selection without it being overwhelming. There's not much of a wait, and you get a great amount of food for the price. The salads are huge and look gorgeous, and pro tip, add chicken to round out the meal (even though it's not on the menu).

Keto/ Low carb folks: I'd say get a salad and add some protein to get a good meal here, or get a bowl and ask to have the rice replaced with lettuce (both of which they're very willing to do). Plenty of selections to fit your...
