" Best shawarma I’ve ever had! I thought living in the suburbs meant missing out on tasty Middle Eastern cuisine, but Detroit Shawarma has proven me wrong. I always order the chicken shawarma bowl with extra garlic sauce and it hits the spot every time! The staff is friendly, and the restaurant always feels welcoming and inviting. It's become a staple for me and my family, and I can’t wait to introduce it to more friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Detroit Shawarma has quickly become a favorite among my friends and I. The options available are both diverse and delicious. I was impressed by the authenticity of the flavors as the dishes reminded me of my visits to the Middle East. The falafel and hummus were delightful. The staff made sure we were well taken care of, making for a wonderful dining experience! I can’t wait to return and try more from their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" The shawarma here is pretty decent, but I expected a bit more seasoning. My friends loved their meals and I think I just picked the wrong item. The service was attentive which is a plus. The restaurant itself had a nice vibe and felt clean. Overall, it was a fine experience, and I might come back just to try something else on the menu, maybe the falafel next time because I've heard so many good things about it. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Detroit Shawarma yesterday, and I was pleasantly surprised by how good everything was! I ordered the lamb shawarma and it was beautifully seasoned. The portion was more than enough for one person and I appreciate the addition of fresh pita. The staff were friendly, and the restaurant was quite clean which always earns points in my book. It honestly exceeded my expectations. I would recommend this place to anyone in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" When I first arrived at Detroit Shawarma, I was a bit skeptical based on its location being in a small plaza. However, once I entered, the warm décor, friendly staff, and appetizing aromas quickly drew me in! After much deliberation, I tried the falafel platter, which was fresh and crispy – you could tell they were made with care. Portion size was satisfying, enough to share for two. Although the introvert in me prefers quiet places, I found the atmosphere relaxing enough to enjoy my meal without feeling rushed. " (*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*)
