ALREEM MEDITERRANEAN kitchen

Excellent food, wonderful service, the salad is SO good and the chicken shawarma pita is one of the better ones I've had. Seasoned fries are also great. The main gentleman who has served us there is very polite & friendly and gave us free almond cake to take home. Four stars because while delicious, it is definitely more pricey than comparable places so we could only take the family once, and the cauliflower pita wasn't great according to my vegetarian kid.

The good: hummus was tasty, salad was fresh, restaurant was clean and service was good. We opted for the platter for two, doesn’t specify that hummus was added so we added on the side. $79 with 15% tip for takeout, and the quantity/quality was not worth it. By comparison, the platter for 2 at Cedarland in Dearborn can easily feed 5 with leftovers. Food was “ok,” steak incredibly tough, chicken on the dry side, but the kofta was the strangest consistency and worst I have ever had. Hard, with a flavor profile that legitimately tasted like it was off - but no one got sick. I grew up in the Middle East and am familiar with the cruise. Trying lots of local places so we don’t have to keep drinking to Dearborn. Al-Reem ranged from good to meh. Maybe just avoid beef products? Or stick to vegetaria

The owner of AL-REEM saw me posting and supporting Ypsilanti restaurants so they personally invited me in for lunch. I had the small Greek salad and the Lamb Gyro. The Greek salad was significantly above average with an abundance of cheese and spice. The gyro was pretty good once I smothered it in this amazing sauce. I will be back! 2130 Whittaker Road, Ypsilanti Ypsilanti: Thrive in 25!

Stoped in this place to grab a bite to eat randomly. The gentleman at the front was friendly and chatty. We ordered lentil soup and a beef shawarma. The meat was good in the sandwich, but the bread was great! The lentil soup hit the spot. We also ordered a big saj combo catering platter that was half beef, half chicken. The meat was tender and juicy and the kids loved the fries. Everything reheated perfectly in the oven when we got home. I will definitely go back again when I go to that area. I'm not too familiar with this type of food, so I don't know how to compare it with other Mediterranean places around. Everyone in my picky family enjoyed the food, so it was a big win!

I came in after work to get some lunch one of my favorite spot to get the chicken shawarma bowl! Today I added the avocado banana smoothie! The presentation was absolutely beautiful and aesthetically pleasing. The taste of the smoothies was absolutely delicious!!! I’d definitely recommend coming here to try all of these items on the menu especially the avocado banana smoothie!! You won’t be disappointed 10/10 DEFINITELY RECOMMEND.
