    Very good food, nice people and services. Have had shish tawook and lam galaba with salad. Everything was great, especially the appetizer. Bread and garlic paste were really good. I have been here several times, and every time was great. I do recommend this place to anyone.

    All of this yumminess is only the half order. Fresh, juicy deboned chicken, veggies, rice, salad with bread, and THEE BEST garlic sauce ever. If you enjoy great food, you MUST HAVE Royal Kabob! They have wonderful and reasonable pricing and great lunch specials. This by far is my favorite restaurant in Hamtramck!!! Cute, clean, and cozy dine-in spot, or you can place an order to pick up!

    I love their garlic and pita bread for only a $1.00. It's great especially when you are broke! The service is fast and they are friendly. I'm going to try more things soon and update my review, but for now, I give them 5 stars!

    Excellent food, service, and staff. I had dinner here with my family tonight, and we were incredibly impressed with what we got. The garlic sauce is, no joke, the best I have ever had. We are getting a graduation party catered from here, and they have been so accommodating and helpful. Highly recommend. Update: The catering for my grad party could not have been better - they gave us more than enough food for a fair price, and all of my guests were over the moon about the meal. Hats off to y'all!!

    Loved everything. Eat all the food. Then eat more. Garlic sauce is killer. Best baba ghanoush of all time. Ever.

    One of my favorite spots. They have really good Mediterranean food. The food has great flavor and I love the garlic. They have carry out so you can call in your order or dine in. Oh yeah, they have vegetarian options as well. The vegetarian options are vegan-friendly as well.

    First time ordering here last night, and the family really enjoyed their meal. The meals were big and hearty, filled us up. The food tasted fresh. I really enjoyed how much time they put into the salad, it was chopped, tossed, and dressed perfectly. The rice was one of the best rices that I've had for sure. This spot is definitely in our wheelhouse from now on! Oh yeah, the staff was super nice too...

    You can never go wrong here. The food is the best. Lamb chops are out of this world good! They are very consistent. We have enjoyed every visit. Deboned chicken, grilled chicken salad are other great items. The portions are huge; so if you are alone or a light eater, consider ordering half orders, but even that, I feel, is plenty! On top of what you order, you get welcomed with freshly baked bread (with toasted sesame seed) and garlic paste. It's so good that you just have to try to realize it!

    Wonderful food with top-tier service. Cloth napkins, tablecloths, pita bread with dinner, and better service than you could expect in any chain restaurant anywhere. The food is phenomenal, and the portions are sizeable. The price of the food is very affordable, especially considering the quality, table service, and quantity. It's easy to get to, and there is a parking lot in the back, so you don't have to park on the street. It's open late and has takeout available as well. Honestly, my favorite restaurant in the Detroit area.

    This is the real deal Mediterranean food in a real deal Mediterranean town. They serve this pita bread so hot that you need to be careful about immediately grabbing it because you could potentially burn yourself. The reason you would still consider grabbing the piping hot bread is because the garlic sauce, which was also placed on the table, has tantalizingly wafted its smell toward your face. "My god. They don't even charge for this? Are you kidding me?" Then comes the actual order. It's sublime. I've had good Mediterranean food, and this is some of the best. Finally, paying the bill. Dinner for two will probably cost under $25. A great bargain for some amazing food.

    Amazing food. This is some of the best Mediterranean food I've ever had. It was four of us, and we shared the deboned chicken platter for $20. The garlic sauce was fresh and tasty. This is a nice family restaurant where you can feed a family for cheap and be satisfied. When it comes to Mediterranean, you have to know how to cook it, and Royal Kabob does it right. Our waiter was nice and helpful.
