Sharawa is good. Chicken creme job was a bit over done for my liking. Crush lentil soup as okay, Very robust menu. I would definitely go back, I'd just stick to the shawarma. Phone ordering was fast and easy, pickup was even faster.

Service at lunch on 8/28/2014 was horrible, we had what appeared to be a new waiter and he was very slow, He even had difficulty taking our order. 1 basket of bread for 10 people. We asked for another never got it until we got our bill. We saw the other waiter running circles around ours, service might be good but not today. He didn't bring out tea until after he brought out soup and salads. There were 10 of us at the table, and he only had us for a while. Lunch combos went up to $7.49. Our problem was they had another party of 14, and the good waiter got them, and 2 waiters had other tables to attend to. They shouldn't be so cheap and allow waiters to train on their own without any help. He would bring out like 2 drinks at a time. What about a tray?

This place is outstanding. The Arabic salad is always fresh, crisp and colorful. I realize many call it a 'Lebanese salad', but, trust me, all of the Arab world makes this and everything else. So give me a break with that proprietary nonsense. The hummus is perfect, smooth and generously served (not 1 micron in thickness smeared all over a tiny plate to look bountiful...makes me hummus-cidal). No, this was, seriously, a lot of hummus. Bless you, my child! The kabob cubes are tender, moist and perfectly grilled every time. I do think they could give you a bit more meat, though. But it isn't a rip off. Those are fine meat cubes, indeed. They gave me their word they'd maintain this level of quality as so many get greedy and skimp on quality once they get popular (Warren Ave in East Dearborn, I'm looking at you guys). I went back after a month and it is still good. No, not just good. Excellent. They include the tip in the bill, so beware. I think that is an odd practice. Maybe they've been stiffed a lot or something. You could pay a double tip by accident. I don't like this idea. And the menu isn't groundbreaking. It is standard fare. No problem, though, it is great food served very fresh. Finally, one Arabic joint around here that doesn't make me sad! I'll be back!

Food is usually very good however the service is below satisfactory. Next to work so very convenient. Meats and salads have very good flavor hummus is substandard if compared to Arabic restaurants down Warren. Do not expect fast service if you dine in. Try to place carry out order as it seems they place higher preference to these clients.

This place is my go-to for Arabic food. Their boneless chicken is amazing! They also have a great sandwich/sub selection. The chicken fajita sub is the best. Great fast service too.

Delicious chicken shawarma sandwich and lentil soup! The sandwich was packed with chicken and VERY flavorful. The soup needed some salt but was very tasty after I seasoned it. Place was clean and folks were polite! Will go again!

I have visited this place a few times and the food is result good. I called ahead and did the carry out but they have a nice dining area as well. The service was fast and friendly. Prices were pretty standard for this kind of food. Parking is pretty decent but one side is a little poorly lit at night time. In all, I will be returning to this place again and again.

Lately i've been on an "Middle Eastern" kick - I so love falafel (i think i spelled that right) which it cost $4 out the door; it takes about 10 to 15mins depending how many people you have in front of you. I've always walked by here with my dogs and one day i said let's try something new in my neighborhood. The only thing i would improve here is the waiting area or at least notify the customer to seat in seating area which i eventually did because it was too crowded. I'm getting hungry now just thinking about a falafel!!! I like the word falafel......FALAFEL, FALAFEL, FALAFEL. Lol!

Kabob Inn gave me a shawarma sandwich with drippy chicken meat saturating the paper wrap the sandwich came in. After seeing that I couldn't concentrate fully on the taste. Never seeing that anywhere else that serves this kind of food......I won't be back! I went to this place because of the reviews that I read about them but I was so disappointed in the presentation of the food.

Last summer, I found this place after watching the "Avengers" movie. Like a few people, I wanted to try shawarma after hearing Iron Man (Robert Downey, Jr.) talk about the stuff. This was my first experience with Lebanese cuisine. And I am very happy that I came here first. Those who love chicken know that the white meat can get pretty dry if cooked a certain way. The Chicken Shawarma Entree was well prepared, nicely seasoned and not too dry. It comes with pita bread and garlic spread, so you can make little flatbread sandwiches if that's your thing. I stuffed mine with the chicken, veggies and my side orders of brown rice and hummus. After about 10 minutes, I was completely full and satisfied! Since then, I've been there a few times. So far, there hasn't been anything that I didn't like, including the Shish Tawook and the Meat Shawarma. There are also great options for vegetarians, such as the Lentil Soup, Falafel, and the Tabbouli. There are good options for your sweet tooth as well. They got baklava, cheesecake, and rice pudding. I prefer the smoothies and the raw juices, either during or after meals. As for dining in, the place is very clean and cozy. Bring your friends.

This isn't the closest middle-eastern restaurant to me, but it is one of the best. I tend to order their vegetarian selections quite often, and they rarely disappoint. The falafel is delicious, as is the lentil soup. I also enjoy the hummus; it's creamy with just the right amount of garlic. I also appreciate the fact that they don't litter the hummus with parsley (so annoying). The tawook is alright, but sometimes a little dry. The lamb dishes are tender, well spiced, and plenty flavorful. I always order takeout, so I can't say much about the service. However, the employees are generally courteous and have yet to get my order wrong (50 or so orders). It also appears to be an overall clean and well maintained restaurant. My only gripe is with some of the pricing. Some of the entrees can run over $15 and sandwiches can approach $5. Not out of control so definitely not a deal-breaker. Check them out

I love the Kabob Inn. They started out really small but they make good food and do good business. They've moved to a bigger space. I'm glad for them. I think their vegetarian grape leaf sandwich is OMFG amazeballs and I'm not even vegetarian. Lately I've been trying all the salads and guess what, they're delish!! Don't miss the garlic dip, it's no joke.

As of late I have had a craving for Garlic and remember fondly going to the local Middle Eastern restaurant La Shish to have the big bowl of whipped garlic with pita. I'd come back to work and everyone would know where I had lunch, without asking. That place unfortunately closed. The other day I noticed this little place located way back in the corner of a shopping mall located at Telegraph and West Chicago, and thought, "what the hell". Glad I did, while not as good as the old place it is close to me and and the price for lunch is right. The pita bread and garlic spread can't compare to the old place, but will do. it's clean and friendly, just a little hard to see tucked in the corner of the mall. Worth the trip.

Its not the worst middle eastern spot I've eaten in, but falls far short of any decent spot in Dearborn. Server had no clue, and after saying we wanted to share, and asking for plates and silver to split the food, she passed by three times with out bringing us plates, and then we had to track her down again for spoons. The pita wasnt fresh baked, nor was the lentils and rice fresh. The rest of the food was mediocre at best. It seems like most of the other revies were from newbies to Lebense food, and didn't appreciate how wonderful it can be. Neither my date nor I would not go back, there are better options nearby.

This is an unassuming place in the corner of a strip mall, and I'm sure a lot of people have never noticed it. Kind of just looks like a typical coney diner, inside and out. [*UPDATE: They've moved to a bigger, better location, right on Telegraph. Food is as great as ever, if not better (I now say their hummus is the best around), there's more staff now, and it's a great space. I bumped up my review from 4 to 5 stars. 3/5/14] Probably because I live right down the street from it, my family ended up giving Kabob Inn a try right when it opened up, maybe 3 or 4 years ago. It was surprisingly good then, and still is. If you like Middle Eastern food -- heck, even if you may not -- give this place a try. The food here ranges from good to great all around. There is a decent selection of typical American fare (burgers, sandwiches, fries - all pretty tasty) to please someone who may not be in the mood for Middle Eastern. Some things I particularly remember enjoying: the rice, hummus, the garlic dipping sauce, any of their wrap sandwiches, and the smoothies. Once my husband ordered a lamb dish in which the lamb was just a touch dry, but everything else has always been excellent. The pita bread isn't quite in the league of the wood-fired oven bread freshly made at a couple of the other local Middle Eastern places, but for what it is, it's good. (It's just hard to beat fresh-made bread, hot out of the oven. Maybe one day this place will get one of those oven setups, in which case, I'd never have a reason to go anywhere else.) Went here a lot with a specific craving for their hummus and tabouli wraps (delicious and very cheap, too) when I was pregnant, and always came away happy. My kids love the smoothies and fries, along with other stuff here. The service is always friendly. The only other points I can think of to make are that the ambiance may lack a little bit, and parking may sometimes be an issue in the main lot - even though it's in a strip mall, the spots tend to fill up. There's parking off to the side of the restaurant (about ten steps away, to the right) that most people don't seem to know about.

My husband and I love Mediterranean food, so we eat it quite a bit. While there may be restaurants out there that top Kabob Inn, we haven't found them in the Detroit Metro area. The hummus is amazing as well as their other spreads. The food is generally well seasoned (balanced and just the right amount) and my husband specifically loves the ghallaba. The salad is also very good.

A refreshing addition to North Dearborn Heights. We have enjoyed their food at their Redford location for several years, but their new Telegraph location is leaps and bounds above their previous location. As soon as you step inside, you will notice the difference. The food tastes better, the decor is nicer, and their staff strives to keep you coming back. I know it's good when my wife and kids ask to go back.
