During my recent trip to Michigan, I discovered that the Detroit Metro area has the largest concentration of Arabic speakers with 4.7% of population aged 5 to adult primarily speaking Arabic at home (https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/05/18/5-facts-about-arabic-speakers-in-the-us/#:~:text=The%20Detroit%20metro%20area%20also,1.0%25%20of%20the%20total%20population.). As such, there was a plethora of excellent restaurants to select from offering Middle Eastern cuisine, one of the best of which was Asya.As is my penchant, when visiting a new city I pop open my trusty Yelp app for places to try and Asya was one of the first recommendations; it doesn't hurt that some of the locals also said they serve up tasty food.Located in a strip mall off the intersection of a busy road, the parking lot is tight, so if there are no spots directly in front of the restaurants, there is more availability off to the side.I stopped by a few times while I was in town, and Asya does a brisk take-out business, especially during the predictable lunch and dinner hours. I dined in both times, so I could enjoy my meal hot and "fresh from the kitchen." The interior is fairly nondescript with tile flooring, black tables/chair combos, and a neutral color palate. But because the dining room is "cozy," it can definitely get loud with just a few tables of hungry diners.The service and hospitality are superior, as to be expected from a family run establishment. I was always greeted with a warm smile and even after just a few visits, the staff seemed to recognize me. I really like the fact that for most of their entrees, you can order either a lunch or dinner portion. The shish kafta was an AMAZING deal at $12.99 at lunch. In addition to the main dish, it is served with either a salad or soup. I opted for the lentil soup, and it was tasty. Soft lentils were stewed in a creamy base and served with a bowl of individually wrapped pita slices. Honestly, I was already getting a bit full after just the soup course.Then the generous portion of the shish kafta arrived and I could only finish 1/2 of the plate, before taking the remaining portion home for dinner. The skewered meat patties were nicely seasoned with grated yellow onion, garlic, parsley, finely chopped mint, salt/black pepper, Sumac, cinnamon, as well as other spices. They were grilled just enough to have a nice char on the exterior, yet still remain moist. Instead of French Fries, I opted to have the yellow rice which was perfect for making mini-sandwiches with the leftover pita slices from my soup. To finish the meal, I had a few pieces of the house made baklava, which was flaky and not too sweet; perfect with my afternoon coffee. On another occasion, I also got the chicken shawarma, which again, was a bargain at $6.50 (before tax) and super filling with a side of fries.There are also many good Middle Eastern restaurants in the DC area, but not the variety of "mom and pop" places like Asya and definitely not at their price point and value.

The service was great, very friendly and willing to help with the menu. I would come back for some local Mediterranean food. What I got:Falafel plate 3/5:I falafel exterior was very crispy which was okay, sometimes a bit too much. The interior of it was good and flavorful but nothing too excited just a standard falafel. The plate came with hummus and a kale mix, which were both standard. Asyas combo grill (high 3/5):In terms of portion, there was a lot and was happy with that. The grill came with a beef kabob, beef kafta, and chicken kabob. I thought the beef kabob was the best out of them as the cook was great making it the most tender out of the three. The chicken was juicy but a little dry in some parts and the kafta was kinda dry except the middle which disappointed me as I usually enjoy kafta. In terms of flavor I really didn't think there was much flavor in the rice or the meats so I ended up needing to use the hummus and sauce which came with it. Not saying there was no flavor but not enough. This plate also came with a option of potatoe curry, which was actually pretty good, I would want to eat a bowl of it as it was aromatic, light, and flavorful.

The food, service and restaurant overall was a pleasant experience. The soups were hearty and authentic. The lamb shank was tender. It came with yellow rice, a red sauce and vegetables that complimented the meal. The deboned chicken and yellow rice were fulfilling. The young woman who took our order was very polite and friendly. The food was delicious and the presentation was appealing. The restaurant has interesting with a modern touch to it.

We pass this place all the time and finally decided to try it out. The mixed grill for two was a great value and came with a salad, garlic, and bread. The garlic sauce was great and they gave a very generous portion. The Kafta was so good! My husband said the steak was cooked perfectly. The folks were really sweet. Sandwiches were around $6-7 which you just don't find anymore. I look forward to trying those next time. Oh and the staff was really sweet to us.

Asya is a hidden gem in Madison Heights. As a lover of lamb, their lamb shish kebab sandwiches are amazing. Their meat pies, hummus and garlic sauce are delicious. Everything I have had there has been top notch. Go give them a try, you will not regret it.

I looked up Middle Eastern food on line and found this little place in Madison Hts.I was having sad day as my mother had just passed. They were so friendly and nice. They made me feel better. The Tabouleh was good and a really a size. It was even better the next day. The Hummus was sooo creamy with fresh thin Pita just as it should be! They have a large menu to choose from. I saw several things I want to try. Try them you'll be pleasantly pleased. KL
