Super nice place for a tasty meal. The food is top notch and the fries are out of this world amazing. Even loaded they were still crunchy to the last fry. Definitely worth the stop.

This was a great find!!! Great food, with so much flavor, a welcome change and authentic! The service as well as preparation are all top notch. Everything we had gotten was delicious and a delight. Hummus was so fresh, the Chicken, Beef and Lamb were all seasoned well and Tender. Garlic Sauce alone was amazing by itself. All the Produce was fresh as well, and refreshing. Kids loved it. If you are a “Foodie” this is a jem! Again Host and staff were so friendly and helpful. We will be back!

Wow! Healthy and delicious! Personable and friendly staff. Mashawi kabobs were wonderfully cooked and seasoned. Falafel delightfully balanced. Lentil soup was fantastic (my 7 year old ate almost all of his!). Hummus, taboli, pitas, oh my! You will be so thankful you stopped here! (So good, I forgot to take pics until we were well on our way into the dishes!)

TL;DR – 2 stars for decent service staff but too expensive, tiny portions, and no beef kabobs. Save your money and head somewhere else.
Came in this evening to get some dinner that wasn’t a burger or pizza. It wasn’t our first time and we were greeted promptly by a staff member. We talked for a moment while we looked at the menu which he told me was updated 3-4 weeks ago.
Long story short, I ask if I can order some single items off the “extras” menu to put together some food since they got rid of their old platters and beef kabobs. Of course, they say yes and after a few more minutes of discussion, we put in an order and have a seat.
10 minutes later, our food is done and the staff member brings over our food. I say thank you and we head out. Once we get outside, I make the comment to my wife that the bag feels SO light. Once in the car, I hand it to her, and she agrees.
We get home and open the bag (it’s stapled at this point) to start unpacking – the portion sizes were ridiculous. So ridiculous in fact that I threw each container on the food scale to see how bad it actually was.
Spoiler alert: inconsistent portion sizes, incredibly small for the cost, and not even what we expected to get.
Photos attached – 2x 16 oz. rice orders, one 10.19 oz and the other 11.75 oz., 2x beef shawarma orders, one 4.13 oz., the other 2.68 oz., and finally, 2x chicken tawouk, one 6 oz., the other 4.37 oz.
Total price, $33’ish dollars for two portions about the size of a Panda Bowl.
So, I called the shop – the same person who rang us up and brought us our food picked up the call. I explained the issues and he was receptive. He apologized and asked what he could do to make it right. He also said that the portions are packaged off site (I assume at their other location) so it sounds like they just reheat precooked food vs. actually prepare it fresh.
I told him that I appreciated the gesture but we wouldn’t be back – the cost, the portion size, and now knowing it’s essentially reheated leftovers is enough for me to drive a bit further, save a couple bucks, and have an actual meal.

Finally found a halal place after much difficulty, and it was absolutely worth it! The food was incredibly delicious, and the portions were generous. Staff was kind and helpful. Great value for money and a must-visit for anyone looking for halal options. Highly recommend!

Wow, what a fantastic dining experience! I recently visited 616 Kabob Mediterranean Cuisine and was blown away by the flavors and quality of the food. The chicken shawarma was incredibly tasty and satisfying. The service was also top-notch and friendly. I’m so impressed that I’m eager to give them a well-deserved 5-star review! If you’re a fan of Mediterranean cuisine, do yourself a favor and check this place out. You won’t be disappointed!”

As soon as I walked in, the smell of the food hit me and I felt like a child again at my grandparents house. The food was very good and everyone working was very very nice. He even offered me and my girlfriend a cup of tea which was extremely thoughtful and delicious. We plan on coming back soon to enjoy more food.

I loved it here! The food was amazing and everyone was so nice. My husband said it’s the best shawarma he has had in Grand Rapids. The falafel was green (which is the best kind in my opinion) and was covered in sesame seeds which gave it a really great texture and flavor. Also the grape leaves were probably the best I have ever tasted- a lot of care was put into them and they had a delicious sauce or something drizzled on top.
The decor of the restaurant is also very cute.
