" I’ve visited Detroit Shawarma a few times now and while my experiences have been mostly positive, I had a disappointing meal last week. My chicken shawarma bowl was substantially lacking in flavor compared to previous visits, which was quite disappointing. While I appreciate the cleanliness and attentive staff, I think they need to maintain consistency in the kitchen. I hope this was just an off day because they usually deliver great meals. " (*Curated Review*)

" Really enjoyed my visit to Detroit Shawarma! The service was quick because I ordered takeout. Everything I got was incredibly fresh, and the prices were reasonable, too! The shawarma was flavorful and I was pleasantly surprised by the portion size. It’s a great option for anyone looking for a delicious homemade meal without having to cook. I’ll definitely be back to try their bowls next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Detroit Shawarma was an unexpected treat! The restaurant boasted a warm and inviting atmosphere upon entering, with staff eager to help. I decided on the create-your-own bowl option and it did not disappoint. The ingredients were fresh, and the portions were generous for the price. Highlights for me were the tangy garlic sauce and the crunchy pickled vegetables. The only downside was the wait time, which was a bit longer than I anticipated. However, the food made it all worth it, and I would certainly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic Middle Eastern food. " (*Curated Review*)

" After coming across Detroit Shawarma online, I had my expectations high after numerous glowing reviews – but I must say, my experience did not line up with what I had hoped for. I ordered the steak shawarma fries, but the steak had a bland flavor that didn’t sit well with me. I appreciated the effort of the staff, who were wonderfully friendly and helpful, but my dish left much to be desired. I am not ready to write this place off yet as I’ve seen many rave about their chicken shawarma, so perhaps I will give it another shot in the near future. " (*Curated Review*)

" The first time I ordered from Detroit Shawarma, I was absolutely blown away! The flavors were vibrant, and the spices used were just right for my palate. I tried the full Detroit platter with chicken shawarma, rice, and a refreshing fattoush salad, and everything was so fresh! What really stood out to me was their homemade garlic paste – it was heavenly! I appreciated the clean establishment and the swift service. I’ve been back several times since, and this has now become my go-to spot for satisfying my cravings for Middle Eastern food. Can't recommend enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Detroit Shawarma and I can’t stop raving about it! From the moment I stepped inside, the friendly staff made me feel welcomed. I ordered the chicken shawarma and it was absolutely flavorful, perfectly seasoned and tender. The portion was generous, and I loved the fresh vegetables served on the side. The atmosphere was casual yet clean. I left feeling satisfied and excited to plan my next visit. This place stands out among the typical fast food options, offering real Mediterranean flavors that I’ve been craving. Highly recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just finished my meal from Detroit Shawarma an hour ago, and I have to share – it wasn’t great. I was really looking forward to the purported 'best falafel in town,' but it was bland and lacking texture. Additionally, the atmosphere wasn’t as inviting as other places I’ve visited. On the positive side, service was quick and the staff was polite. I’d probably try again just to see if I had an off day. " (*Curated Review*)
