I ordered two lamb Shawarma’s, one being with fries, and the other without.They had the labels wrong for those sandwiches.I reached out to the management of the establishment to express my irritations and I was ALSO told that they ARE AWARE of their lamb meat having some sort of toughness to them, why would you notably sell tough lamb? followed by in order for me to have some type of compensation rendered I would have to bring the food back showing that it had fat on majority of the shawarma on it.moreover It’s uneatable, and I live in Lake Orion (over 40 min away).The response from the management single handily let me know why black business in Detroit are failing.Lack of service, lack of care for the patrons and not enough level leadership.Utterly disappointed and will never eat a Shawarma at a non-Lebanese establishment
I usually don't write reviews if I don't like the food.It wasn't horrible, well the curly fries were disgusting.They were really tough and that's a first for me I also ordered the chicken shawarma.I should have walked out when I saw how they were cooking it Chicken shawarma is supposed to be cooked on a spit and slowly roasted.Not here, it's cooked on a stove top grill.Then chopped not shaved.You can't call this shawarma smh.They use a whole pita bread to wrap it, Another red flag.You're supposed to separate the pita bread.They just wrapped it from a store bought pitta bread without separating it.It's also supposed to be toasted using a press to give the pita some texture that would hold up to the moisture from the chicken.Here they just pull it straight from the bag and start stacking.The garlic spread wasn't present and lacked flavor.And the pickle smh.There was only one pickle.And it was wide instead of the usual thin sliced pickles.The pickle lacked that special zip that makes shawarma stand out.Things like this happen when western people try to decolonize an entire culture's food.Stick to the traditional way.The authentic way works for the top shawarma shops.So why be different.Chopping the meat vs shaving the meat makes you load more meat then necessary which isn't an issue but chopping leaves less texture then shaving it from a spit.Honestly what I had wasn't even as juicy as shaved from a spit.
Really digging the vibe here at the Bucharest Grill.It was our first time and Micah, who took our order, was so cool- great smile and super patient with us, as she explained the menu.Very excited to have this as our neighborhood spot for Eastern European food.
