Kebabs, baba ganoush & other Middle Eastern dishes, plus family plates, in a laid-back space.

Five stars for the amazing kebabs and salad!
The Iraqi kebabs are delicious, as the name of the restaurant suggests. I went in only for the kebabs, and they didn’t disappoint.
The experience starts with lentil soup , around 15 minutes or less based on how busy they are for your food to arrive.
Kebabs are served with 2 fluffy pita bread as well.
To make it a bit better , I also ordered chickpeas salad which again was delicious.
The server was attentive and friendly.
In all the location serves delicious juicy kebabs.

I visited this restaurant twice last year, and the food was absolutely delicious — honestly, the best kebabs I’ve had in Michigan so far. That amazing experience made us return again recently with high expectations.
However, to our surprise, the restaurant has completely changed. The interior now resembles more of a spice shop, and instead of proper indoor seating, they’ve set up a few chairs and an AC cooler outside for customers. Unfortunately, the overall experience this time was disappointing. Both the food quality and the service have gone down. I’m not sure what happened, but it just didn’t live up to the standard they had before.

Really enjoyed my food on my visit here. The kebobs were especially delicious and cooked to perfection. So juicy! Their salads were fresh and delicious as well. Loved the stewed potatoes that were served with the grilled meats and veggies.

Great meal on July 4th, our 2nd favorite Dearborn restaurant #1 be Sahara on Michigan Ave. Absolutely our favorite Iraqi restaurant for over a decade. Place extremely busy dining in and take out customers at dinner time. A very large interior and patio makes perfect for social distance order. Got our favorite the platter for 2 which fed us with leftovers mega deal. It starts with Lentils Soup n Fatoush Salad absolutely Wonderful. Then a mega platter of Meats be Iraqi Kebabs, Chicken Tikka, Iraqi Gus Beef, Chicken Shawarma, Chicken Tawook n Chicken Cream Chops. The very best deal of any Middle Eastern restaurant around metro Detroit. Also come with Platter of Rice, Bread, Iraqi Beans n Eggplant. So 35 bucks feeds a family of four Unique Meats, Great Service and flavorful Meats. Most likely you be only non Iraqi folks in the place, think place the real deal. See great reviews Yelp, Google n Facebook Enjoy. #arbeelkabab #iraqifood #iraqikebab #chickentikka #supportlocalbusiness #downriverfriendseat #motorcitymunchers

The worst experience ever, it was the first time and it will definitely be the last, at least we expected it to be as we saw in the pictures on the reviews but this was the truth, the meat looked bad as if it was dirty and without toasted bread or grilled vegetables, and full of tough pieces as if they were bones or teeth, and the grape leaves with vegetables were not cooked, they only cooked the rice and the grape leaves remained green without cooking.. The truth is very shocking how you, as a customer, pay significant amounts just to feel happy, but you are met with such poor service

We came from Dover and Akron, Ohio respectively and stopped here for lunch! The food and service were top notch. Everything was made fresh as it should be. As someone who has not visited Dearborn beforehand, this place completes the entirety of Dearborn’s Arabic side. And with decor is beautiful as it is, I can only imagine how beautiful it must be at night. I will definitely come back!

Very disappointed with our experience at this kabab restaurant. The place was dirty and completely unorganized — it felt like the staff had no idea what they were doing. We started off by ordering soup and salad, but they never came, even after we asked about them. Our kids’ fries were undercooked, and the rice that came with our kabab was cold. To make things worse, they tried to charge us for items we never received. When we pointed it out, the staff seemed confused and didn’t handle it professionally. For the price they charge, we expected much better service and quality. Definitely would not recommend or return.

We were worried after reading reviews about the remodel. We drive about three and a half hours a couple times a year to Dearborn for food, and Arbeel Kabab is always one of our stops.
While they have changed the inside to also be a mini market, they still offer the full menu. There is a very comfortable enclosed seating area. You now just order at the counter and pick your food up. The kababs are just as tasty as they have always been, and the service is great.
We will continue to look forward to our visits here!
