I realized, after going there so many times I cannot count, that I NEVER had the felafel! So, we ordered felafel - and, Oh My Freaking, Chef! It's the BEST felafel I've ever stuffed into my head. It made my girlfriend moan. I also , finally, got around to ordering the lamb - and I did some moaning of my own. Chef is a genius, and his family is wonderful - they work hard, and they deserve all the business you can give them. I hope I die before this place closes; I don't think I could bear to live without it.

Came here because my brother recommended this restaurant. I was told to order the chicken shawarma and was not disappointed. The food is fresh, the staff is friendly, and the price is more than reasonable. If you happen to be in the area and are looking for quality Mediterranean food, this is the place for you

I stopped by for a quick lunch while I was in the area. I was greeted by a friendly family. I wasn't too hungry, so I went for the fattoush and lamb shawerma. The food was delicious and the service was prompt. I would like to try other dishes. The restaurant has a home style cooking feel to it.

My sister and I stopped by wanting somewhere with no wait. We started with the lemon rice soup, fantastic! There was dill in it that was unexpected, but gave it a fresh unique flavor. We split an appetizer platter. The grape leaves were the best I have ever had. Extremely well flavored. The tabouli was also exceptional. The parsley was obviously extremely fresh and the flavor again was strong and bright. The baba ghanoush was smoky and the hummus and pita were great as well. Each item had a distinct, vibrant flavor. The rice we had on the entrée we split was also well made and there were onions served on the side sprinkled with some dark colored powder that had a nice kick. The waitress was efficient, attentive, and genuinely cared what we thought of the food. I don't live here, but my sister will definitely be back.

Looks like it's been said before - but hot dang, what great food!!! Moussaka - served stew style, with delicious rice, baba, grape leaves.... Garlic sauce.... All perfect and delicious. Very fresh tasting, homestyle good that I carried out and ate at home. Style. Highly recommend.

Doesn't look like much from the outside, but its one of the best middle eastern restaurants ive ever been to! Highly recommend the lunch menu and the sandwiches

I am so glad I happened to notice the sign for this place driving by the other day! It is a fantastic option in the Mediterranean field that is so crowded in this area. It would be really, really easy to miss this restaurant and not even know they exist. Tucked in a corner of a strip mall that I tend to blow by without giving it a thought, Chef is actually pretty special. The atmosphere is super clean and appealing on the inside (in contrast with the rest of the neighborhood :-/ ), and the food is crazy fresh. The tabbouleh tasted like they just picked the parsley from a garden in the back, and I really loved their smoky, smooth baba ghanoush. The prices struck me as just the tiniest bit high, but the quality and fresh preparation of the food kind of warrants it. This place is special in a very crowded field, and it's worth stopping by if you're as into Middle-Eastern food as I am.

I had delivery from here, and the delivery was VERY fast (a bit expensive, but well worth it, and I'd order again. Plus, the food is very well-priced, so I can deal with the 4.50 delivery charge!) The hot food came hot and the cold food came cold. I had steak with cilantro and garlic and it was GREAT. The sauce is bright, rich, and delicious, it comes with tons of well-cooked, lightly seasoned rice, and lots of tender, juicy meat. I also got a creme caramel, which is why I'm giving this place a 4-star rating instead of 5. The custard tasted like jello, it was odd, it was mushy and had a thick, tough skin across the top. The caramel was not caramel at all, but rather was watery and coffee like. The entire dessert was very very bitter. I'm not a huge fan of overly sweet desserts, so when I say it was bitter, I mean it was truly bitter. Not at all like any creme caramel I've ever had. But the prices are phenomenal, can't wait to try a shwarma, and I agree with the poster below me when she said to order anything that is cilantro/garlic! Delicious! I can't wait to take my family/friends here. Also, if you order a dinner entree, either prepare for leftovers or share. Huge! It comes in a casserole-sized take-out container. Yum.

I have been very ill and am physically challenged. My husband and I have not had the luxury of eating in a restaurant in months. Needless to say this is my first dining out in a long time. It was on our way home from EMU. The food is amazing and super affordable. I had enough for two separate meals. The hummus is great, chicken shawarma is yummy and the most impressive were the grape leaves, I am in luv with them. A table by us ordered their homemade lemon aid which is kinda like a pulpy freeze looking dessert. If able to go back again. It will also be ordered. This place is worth the time and money the staff is kind and sweet. Please enjoy the Chef's creations they are delicious and presented beautifully. The Chef should get a pat on the back he is amazing he produces food from the heart and you can feel it in the food. Thank you. Check it out!!! NOM :0)

Oh. My. GOSH AND GOLLY! What a fabulous place this is! Like Laura P, I would give them 10 stars if I could. I decided to give the place a try on election night, after a very busy and anxious day when I didn't feel like cooking. I called in a pick-up order, took the food home, and had to restrain myself from devouring every morsel of the generous portions within minutes. I always judge Middle Eastern restaurants on the basis of their baba ganouj. Let me just say this: The Chef's baba ganouj is among the best I have ever had anywhere! It's smoky! It's spicy! It's smooth and creamy! It is delicious! I also ordered a falafel sandwich--delicious--and vegetarian grape leaves, which were, without a doubt, the best grape leaves I have ever had anywhere. Fat, rich, full of flavor. Nothing at all like the stuffed grape leaves you get at the grocery store--or at inferior Middle Eastern restaurants. The portions are very generous and the price is right! Next time, I am going to spring for the lamb chop plate, and I'm sure it will be as good as all the dishes I had tonight. This wonderful little place is right around the corner from my house. I have tried other Middle Eastern retaurants in Ypsi and Ann Arbor and been disappointed every time. PLEASE--I am begging you!--give Chef Restaurant a try so that they succeed and prosper and so that I can count on fabulous Middle Eastern food in the future! Oh--and the family members who work in the store? Could not be nicer if they tried! Go! Eat! Enjoy! Order the baba ganouj!!!!!

I want to give them 10 stars! This is one of those places where you can tell that the chef loves preparing the food and takes great pride in what they do. Their food is VERY good! The Tabbouleh is super fresh and tasty...and BOTH types of grape leaves are excellent. (I usually don't like the spices in vegetarian grape leaves, but really liked these) I would personally suggest anything on the menu that says "garlic cilantro", which was recommended to me by the chef, himself! It's his favorite dish, and mine too! He makes it with the garlic spread.....Unlike anything I have ever had before. My mother and I are now totally addicted!!! My neighbor friend and I found a coupon, that's what brought us in... the people working here are very friendly and the atmosphere is nice, I would just like to see MORE people inside! Don't wait for a coupon, they prices are nice (under $4 for a sandwich, appetizers under $6) ...I hope that the inexpensive sandwiches become student favorites, River Rain apartments is right next door. I bring all my picky friends and family - no complaints. They love it just as much as I do. I've seen too many good Med. places come and go around these parts and don't want that to happen to this place. Remember this saying - it holds true here just as anywhere else: Buy local, or bye-bye local! C'mon guys!

This place is better than Haifa Falafel, which, until I tried this restaurant, I thought was the best Mediterranean. Boy was I wrong.
(5)Dan V.
Yes. I came in for a lunch special with a buddy of mine . We both got the lamb kabob with fries and it was delicious. The lamb was juicy and tender and just a bit of red left for taste. The portions were lacking though for the price. I will definitely come back for sandwiches, oh so many things to try!
(4)Shana T.
I always get a fattoush salad with chicken shawarma, veggi grapes leaves, and garlic sauce; the chicken is tasty and moist, the grape leaves are amazing, and the garlic sauce is the best I've had. The owners are very friendly and generous. After reading other reviews, I may branch out and try the chicken with garlic. This place is a must try!
(5)Emily B.
Delicious! We ordered take-out and it was ready within 15 minutes. I had a lamb shawarma sandwich and it was flavorful and reasonable priced. We also ordered the garlic sauce to have with pita- also great! The prices are reasonable and we will be back!

From outward appearances only, this place doesn't look like much. Sandwiched between Bank of America and Subway in a shabby strip, Chef's is easily overlooked. The inside was much nicer and cleaner than I was expecting. There weren't many other people sitting in to eat, but I noticed quite a few ordering to go and pick up meals. For an appetizer, we split an order of hummus with pita and vegetarian grape leaves. Amazing. It was all amazing. The grape leaves were perfect! The hummus was creamy. We also had lentil soup, which was fantastic as well. For our main dishes I had the Vegetarian Mousaka, and my mom had Shrimp Cilantro. The Mousaka was out of this world delicious! First of all, wasn't that supposed to come in a lasagna-like loaf?! No?! It was like a delicious and hearty soup with a side of rice. The flavor was outstanding, and the serving size was huge! My mom loved her dish. I'm vegetarian so I didn't try it myself, but it looked and smelled great. Everything at Chef's was fantastic, and that totally caught me off guard. That's what I get for judging a book by its strip. This little hole in the wall has seriously blown me away with their food. The service was great as well, and they even had wifi. What more can you ask for? I seriously can't wait to come back! My stomach is growling just thinking about it.

Love the vegetarian grape leaves and the falafel! In my opinion this is the best Mediterranean restaurant in the area!
(5)David S.
After driving by this place countless times, normally on my way to other Mediterranean around the area, I finally stopped by today. Glad that I did! I ordered the chicken schwarma sandwich, fattoush salad, and a feta cheese appetizer. The sandwich was very tasty...and not greasy at all. It's made a little different from other places. For example, there is no garlic sauce. And it has a yellow dressing, which tasted like honey mustard. But it was very light and refreshing. The same can be said about the fattoush salad. Fresh and crispy vegetables, and just the right amount of dressing. Be forewarned the sandwich is fairly small so if you are hungry, you may want to get 2 or 3. Can't wait to go back and work my way through their menu.
(5)Sara C.
OBSESSED. The hummus is perfect, the tabbouli is excellent and all of the sandwiches are SO GOOD. This is, without question, some of the best Middle Eastern food I've had in Michigan. Fresh, flavorful and NOT GREASY. You know what was also awesome? Getting a sample cup of lemon chicken soup while I waited on my pick-up order. I can't wait to get through the other menu items. Don't sleep on this place. I'm telling you.
