Al Rafidyn Restaurant

Absolutely tremendous food! I had gotten takeout once before and enjoyed my chicken tikka sandwich, but it didn't make much of an impression. I stopped in on a Saturday morning with my whole family, and it made a tremendous impression! My middle child raved "Best food ever!" I have eaten a lot of middle eastern food - it's my favorite cuisine - and this is some of the best I have ever had. This is Iraqi Chaldean food - could it be better than Lebanese?We got a medium mixed appetizer - you get to choose 5 items from a pretty substantial list. They have the Lebanese staples I'm used to: hummus, tabbouli, baba ghanouj, fattoush. They also have jajeek salad (cucumber and yogurt - like a good tzatziki), Iraqi salad (tomatoes, cucumbers, onions - and beets, which made it great), Beiruty cabbage salad (will try it next time), and pasta salad (will probably need to try this as well). The hummus was less garlic and more tahini, and really great. Then we got a Combo Tray for 2, which might be the single best menu item I have ever ordered. Setting the meat aside for a second, the grilled jalapeno and grilled tomato were excellent, the yellow rice was good, and the brown rice (which they call biryani) was fantastic. But the meat was what set this meal apart. The chicken shawarma was, hands down, the best I have ever had. The beef shawarm was excellent. And the chicken tikka (like tawook) was so moist and perfect - it's what chicken should be. And the chicken cream chop was as perfect as fried chicken should be. This was plenty enough meat for a family of 5 - we didn't finish it; and if we had finished the appetizers, this might be double the meat we needed!The combo tray came with stew, which we also didn't finish, although we really enjoyed it. The stew choices are okra, potato, eggplant, and a fourth one I forget. We tried okra and potato and they were both tasty tomato-based stews. One final note: the pita bread was thrown on the grill quickly before being brought out - the warmth was a nice touch.

I haven't personally ordered here but anytime I go to my Uncles house he orders trays and everyone is so satisfied and happy with the food. Highly recommend this place!

Stopped in for dinner here with a friend during the week. It's a huge restaurant and when we walked in, we were the only ones around 7pm. But it didn't stay that way, with dine-in and carryout happening.We both intended to get shawarmas and keep it simple, but the shawarma fries just looked too good to resist. They come with a choice of meat and sauces that make you think "chili cheese fries" but it was so much better. And we got a small hummus as well. It did not help that our eyes were bigger than our stomachs, but it was insanely good. We both couldn't get enough of the fries, ending up each only eating half our sandwiches and then after making a major dent in the fries, each took plenty home to boot. Also keep in mind, that the fries alone was more food than our two sandwiches combined. I've been here multiple times in the past and the hummus and baba ghanouj is unbelievably flavorful and damn near addicting. The hummus in particular is some of the smoothest I've ever had. Highly recommend stopping in and giving the shawarma fries a try.

The best beef shawarma sandwiches I've had, hands down. Came close to closing and still had the best service. I wasn't even able to take a picture with how quick we demolished them. Everything was fresh, delicious and big portions too!

Wow! Just Wow. I've ate the same plate Beef Gus/Rice/Curry at over 100 Arabic Restaurants. But none of them compare to the taste and cleanliness and top notch service this place has. The Food was unreal I almost ate my plate. This is not a joke! The grilled jalapeño on the side just set it off! Excellent Touch my new friend!

Best chicken shawarma in michigan! You can't get better go for breakfast and have the basterma and eggs! This place is a gem! The guys running it know there food I always enjoy it's and the service is fantastic. The ambiance is of a true middle eastern restaurant.

Really great customer service, however food was very salty. Ordered a chicken shawarma that was just leaking everywhere and chicken tenders for my kid. My kid didn't even touch the fries. The tenders were okay. Not sure about the other items there but their chicken shawarma sandwich was not what I expected.

Excellent food and reception!! Recommend for all how loves Mediterranean food! We ate sandwiches and plates for 4!!

This was my first time eating Mediterranean and may I just say this is my new favorite! I got the plate for 2 and everything was so flavorful. The best hummus I've ever had. I am pleased with the food from this establishment. Keep up the good work!

Came here after working out at nearby LA Fitness. Ordered a 5 appetizer dish, and a chicken shawarma wrap. I was struggling to select 5 appetizers that had no onions when Savio the server suggested taboule, and that they make it fresh and can easily leave out the onions. It was wonderful!The shawarma was flavorful with subtle spices - super tasty. I ate half and had a great lunch for the next day. Savio, the young server was well informed on the menu and friendly. Nice kid that steered me to a fine meal. Fresh, healthy, great tasting food!
