Alan55 - Thanks for giving me the name! I was going to mention Cedarland in Dearborn but couldn't come up with the name. (senior moments are getting closer together!) Anyway, love their lentil soup. | ||

One of the best in Dearborn: Al Ameer (or is it spelled Al Amir?) on W. Warren and Miller. Very good food. Laid-back atmosphere. Friendly staff. Easy to reach from the I-94 exit at Michigan. (Just go north at the first light to Warren.) | ||

Check out La Marsa at Grand River and Drake. I believe the owner once worked at La Shish and brought all of the best in the food to his new establishment. Great food and service! | ||

Actually, I think it was LaShish who made Middle Eastern food popular in the Detroit area. Having worked in Dearborn for 30 years for Ford. I worked with Tallil, the owner of LaShish before he opened his first place at Michigan and Oakman. American people started to try Middle eastern cousine when it opened. His chain made others popular too. He was just the catalyst to get it going, I think. Its too bad that the chain of circumstances led to the demise and all the problems that they had. Now there are other restaurants that are just as good. Maybe not as consistant? I know you could go to any of the LaShish places and the food pretty much was the same. | ||

I've been eating my way up and down Middlebelt and Merriman and have found plenty of places as good as La Shish. Pine Land in Westland is great (second location in Farmington on 12 mile, and if you want the "variety meats," you can get 'em there) and prices are rock-bottom. | ||

It is a shame, the whole family kind of imploded it seems. The west Dearborn location had great hot and fresh pita, and great flat bread when the old lady was there making them on her stove. The quality dropped off in recent years, and crowds were waaayyy down. I got take-out a few weeks back and there wasn't a soul in the restaurant. Guess I'll have try LaPita again for decent close-by Middle Eastern food, otherwise it'll be across town for good take-out. | ||

We love the food at Mr. Kabob in the Sunoco station at 12 Mile and Coolidge in Berkley. Yes, it is primarily take out, although it does have a few seats there. The owners have just opened the Kabob Cafe, which seats about 75, on Evergreen just north of 10 Mile. Haven't eaten there yet, but if it is anything like the food at Mr. Kabob, it will be fantastic!! We too haven't been eating at LaShish in the past year because of the family's illegal activities. | ||

"pmardo swears by a place in hamtramck" probably referring to a place called "Lebanese Chicken" @ 10023 Joseph Campau) (Message edited by hamtramike on March 02, 2008) | ||

Drove by LaShish in Ann Arbor tonight. Sign was on and parking lot appeared full of cars. Was the A2 location somehow unaffected? It's a bit of a drive but The Beruit in Toledo is fantastic. I always preferred it over LaShish, although it will be missed. | ||

Slider- La Shish in AA is Charlie's La Shish. While it was initially affiliated they distanced themselves in '05 I believe. If you look at the a Shish website, they do not list a location in Ann Arbor either. | ||

That's what Talal Chihine gets when he supports terrorism. His 19 year American dream is gone and 350 people who worked for him had been cheated, duped and bamboozled! How are they going to pay their bills? This is another blow to our Michigan economy. Enjoy your stay in Lebanon Mr. Chihine. Open up your new restaurant but it's not going to last. Allah sees your sins and his judgement will come to your like swift desert winds. | ||

I was always a big fan of New Yasmeen in East Dearborn. I used to work on W. Warren at my dads business, and every morning we would either go to Yasmeen...or...Man...I forget the name...Ford and Chase I think...Awesome Jibna though... My sister used to work at La Pita and they would joke around saying she was the only white girl on an all arab staff...which she was. I remember getting to work at my dads shop in the morning (ironically known as the last white owned Business on West Warren Ave.) and smelling the horrid smell from the Halal butcher accross the street...but they had some great Shish Tawook... | ||

DAMMIT DAMMIT ! I wish they could have sold the business instead of having it collapse. Were any of the allegations EVER PROVEN ? BTW nobody on earth but our crack smoking government considers the modern Hezbollah a "terrorist organization". | ||

I'll also vote for Al Ameer on Warren. Used to work nearby and have eaten there more than 50 times. I have tried others but Al Ameer blows them all away. I have since retired and it's just to far now. | ||
