Epic Update: as of 10/4/23, you can now officially ask for/order the yummy creation I mention below in my review as the “Matt Special” - it’s now part of the menu, and they will create it for you
Soooooo, where do I start? I routinely travel all over the country, and I still have NEVER been to a restaurant/bakery that is so perfectly perfect. The people. The atmosphere. The food. The service. The prices. The community connection.
All of it. Every. Last. Bit…..is perfection. If you’ve been to Beirut Bakery before, this is your reminder that you should go again. If you’ve never been, your new mission is to go and grab 5 friends and make it an outing. The best time to go is right when they open. Or in the middle of the day. Or when they’re closing. Get the hint? There’s never a bad time to go.
For the seasoned BB veterans who may be unsure what to get, try a this concoction that I came up with. Order a cheese bread, coat the inside with spicey Labne and the fill the center with chicken and rice. While you’re here, add a bit more Labne. Now, fold it like a taco or wrap and then dip in regular Labne or garlic sauce. Pure food bliss.
Keep up the great work, Beirut...
Read moreFound this local bakery while here in Detroit for a long weekend. Great atmosphere, quality food, service, and great people. I felt like family here because it established and operated by family! I felt like I was invited in the their family kitchen for a meal! I had the chicken shawarma with fries and tabouli. Best shawarma I’ve had. Fries probably the best I’ve had. Taboula very refreshing. The lady who helped me was very warm and welcoming. She even let me try a grape leaves and it was amazing. I will need to take some togo along with their baklava. Great price too! I wish I had more space in my luggage to take home more of their food home.
Best meal I’ve had here in Detroit and a great way to finish my trip. Thanks Beirut Bakery! God is good.
The owner was around and got to chat a little bit with him. He let me try a few oranges from his tree he’s been raising for 44 years. Very nice way to take...
Read moreLines of customers routinely shop, visit and buy the homemade fine fare of this deli. My aunt, who lives nearby, has been buying lentil soup and “schwarmas” from this bakery for the last 30 years. While the “mom and pops” have passed away, years ago, the attempt to keep the bakery/deli organic and friendly remains. The garlic sauce is creamy and more sour cream consistency, I prefer heavier texture with garlic more pungent. Grape leaves were very spartan, but tasty. I want to taste the cumin and other spices in my African, Mediterranean dishes to receive those rich flavors. My spinach feta pie, again very small portion but crispy filo dough with nice hint of olive oil and salt to taste, just right. The Media Specialist, the WSU Clinical Supervisor in Occupational Therapy and the Language teacher - all retired, had a nice visit. We topped it off with excellent tasting Baklava-...
