La Vie Mediterranean Grill

First time at this restaurant. Ordered a bowl of food fresh and full of spicy flavors. Gentleman behind the counter was friendly and gave us a good portion for two dinners and two cans of soda just over $25 We felt it was a great deal.I will be going back if in the area again.

Grabbed staff some lunch last week. Ordered and carried out Shawarma sandwich, 3 chicken shawarma bowls and a fresh squeezed OJ for a little over $62. My husband enjoyed his fresh squeeze juice and our staff liked their sandwich and bowls, filled them up.

Stepson picked this place out to have his birthday dinner. I was a little concerned as I had not been here before. My apprehension did not ease when we walked in as there were not a lot of tables.I asked about menu items as I cannot eat dairy. Was very happy to find out that many items did not have dairy. I ordered the chicken schwarma bowl and loved it! The chicken was moist and seasoned well. I liked how you can select the toppings you desired as I can be a bit finicky when it comes to some food. The best part of my meal was the garlic sauce - yeah, garlic sauce! I mixed some in with my schwarma and mixed a lot into the rice. I had part of meal leftover and it made a great breakfast the next day!

Try this place before you can't!Stopped here for a random lunch on a random day. Having enjoyed many Mediterranean dishes from many restaurants previously, I expected this meal to be good, and I believe it met that expectation.The fattoush salad is 20/10....such flavor! Makes a salad cravable..I even liked the tomatoes, and I normal don't eat tomatoes! Their dressing is perfection.Atop the fattoush I ordered the chicken shawarma...found it on the drier side, and lacking in flavor, especially compared to the salad. But, for ordering a medium salad, they give a generous amount!The gentleman behind the counter was a joy chatting with. Really amazing service and conversation.He shared they will be closing soon for renovations (until June). So, if you are in the area, and want a delicious healthy meal, head to La Vie (unless they are closed for reno)!

I would eat here again out of convenience, but this is not the best Mediterranean I've had in SE Michigan. I ordered the Chicken Schwarma Bowl for around $13 with unlimited toppings which I think is a decent price. I took mine to-go but there are a couple of tables you could sit down to eat at. The hallway back to the kitchen is stuffed with moving boxes and a big wall clock, seems like they never got around to fully unpacking/setting up the dining room? As far as the food, the ingredients seem fresh (i.e. lettuce is not brown). The rice is not seasoned but they will ask if you want it seasoned and then sprinkle it on there -- not the best way to infuse flavor but I'll take it. Like many other reviews here, I agree the chicken does not have much flavor which is disappointing. Service was fairly quick. I would only recommend stopping here if you are looking for something quick and cheap nearby. If you are willing to drive further, there's some better options Yelp can help you find.

It is an nice little place for lunch in Novi . It is a fast casual restaurant that serve meddieteran food. You build your own rice bowl or pita sandwich. The seasoning of the shawarma is not as good as a real restaurant but it is enough for lunch. Average meal is under $9 with tax. Don't get their fries, they sucks. They are fresh but too oily.

Yelling rudely "3,2,1" while someone is deciding what they order is not a good way to run business. Super condescending, not welcoming, and I won't be back. Fattoush was good but with so many middle eastern businesses nearby with nicer service, will skip. Feel bad for the younger guy working as he was nice, but the older guy working the food line shouldn't be working in the service industry.

I liked this place! A Mediterranean chipotle style shop, this place boasts good prices for a wide variety of options. I got a falafel bowl and thought it was great! With my added toppings everything came out to a little under 10 dollars. Overall, I highly recommend!!!

This place may be the best value for your dollar for Mediterranean food in Novi! I lived across the street for over a year before trying out the restaurant and I'm kicking myself for all the time missed! It's definitely a chipotle-style, choose what you want restaurant, but they're very willing to accommodate your dietary restrictions and preferences within the scope of their dishes. The ingredients are fresh and flavorful and there's a good selection without it being overwhelming. There's not much of a wait, and you get a great amount of food for the price. The salads are huge and look gorgeous, and pro tip, add chicken to round out the meal (even though it's not on the menu). Keto/ Low carb folks: I'd say get a salad and add some protein to get a good meal here, or get a bowl and ask to have the rice replaced with lettuce (both of which they're very willing to do). Plenty of selections to fit your individual tastes!

I went to this place on a weekday after work. Its good place for a take out or have a quick bite.Its like a mediterrian subway.You can order and top your wrap as per your choice.I ordered a falafal wrap & topped it with spicy hummus and garlic paste which tasted amazing. I really loved it and would recommened it to anyone in search of veg items.They have mutiple side plate options like pita chips and hummus if uoh are not in mood for heavy meal.They have couple of bottled drinks/juices incase you want to have a drink with your meal. Service is quick and staff is really friendly and is always ready to provide any recommendations as per your choice.
