Mediterranean Grill

Ordered the chicken shawarma/​rice with hummus/​pita. The employee serving everyone was fairly rude and lacked basic manners.
The rice was hot… VERY hot… aka microwaved rice. The shawarma was nothing but microwaved chicken that had been cooked prior and stuffed into a pita bread with a few pickle slices. It tasted just as bland as my previous sentence made it sound.
The hummus was fairly flavorless as well and the pita bread was hard and had definitely been sitting out a while.
I guess this is what happens when you order Mediterranean at an airport. It was my fault for believing the positive reviews and thinking it could maybe taste halfway decent…

Do not eat here. No matter how bad you may be jonesing. Do not do it! Disgusting. Chicken shwarma full of grease. Flavorless. The only sauce was the saucy ass attitude from the short stocky girl with the braids.
Asked for tzatkiki sauce. Got garlic sauce. Asked for rice. Got stale flavorless fries because she did not want to go to the back and get chips. Asked for the chips in the front and she said she would charge me. REALLY BISH?! You wanna penalize me for your laziness?
Well dayum Detroit Airport got some muthaf**** saucy ass CSRs all over D terminal.
Stay away. Far far away.

The service was good — the workers were very nice. However, the positives end there. I asked for a medium burger and grilled veggies. The burger was completely raw inside and the vegetables had not been properly washed. I was grinding on dirt/​sand with every bite I took of them.

No wonder this place has a 1.5 rating. The host working ¹¹⁄₁₃ at night has the personality and pleasantries of nothing. Clearly it is time he has a job change. Came to the desk and then when to Gordon n Biersch.

Took 45 mins to get my food. I was one of 6 people in the restaurant. They had 8 cooks in the kitchen. Baffled.

I wish I could give negative rating. The food is inedible. The service even worse. The lady taking orders seems like hates her job. Customers wait and she’s busy mopping the floor. The chicken tastes like soap and is not cooked. Falafel was not cooked from inside. The shwarma had one big chunk of chicken uncooked. Don’t waste your money as you will end up dumping the food as I did!
All this at an airport restaurant! You need good edible food with awesome express service! They need to Change Their STAFF!!!

The hummus and tabouli are very good here (a nice change in an airport.“
Many other factors are simply SHAMEFUL. Instead of pita bread, terrible pita chips are served: they are thick, dry, and oily.
Portion size is infuriating. The fact that one leaf of lettuce (photo attached) torn in pieces and drenched in dressing is a «house salad» for 4.95 is morally wrong.

I ordered beef shawarma and agreed to wait 12 min for it. I watched as it was made, handed to someone else who opened it and realized it wasn’t hers, returned, and then given to me. Surely that doesn’t meet health code! Gross. They wouldn’t give me a new one. It was almost $ 15 for a sandwich and a bottle of tea, and the sandwich wasn’t new when it came to me.
Don’t eat here.

I stopped for breakfast and it was great. I had the feta and spinach omelette crescent with the Greek smashed potatoes. The omelette was light and fluffy and the seasoning on the potatoes reminded me of Greece. The coffee was good and an ample size. My waitress was very attentive. I only wished they served other teas besides chai.

Food had hair in it. Pop was syrupy and had to be returned. Fries were cold. One meal didn’t come out until other 3 were finished. Poor service. I travel frequently and this is the worst restaurant I’ve ever eaten in.

I understand that, this is a restaurant in an airport; therefore, I was not expecting an exceptional meal but a decent one. The place looked promising. I was promptly seated and the waiter did try to serve well but he was NOT 100% successful in his attempt. He brought me my meal without silverware, I had to get his attention to get a refill for my drink, and he assumed I was done and brought me the check before asking if I wanted dessert or wanted anything else. Onto the meal, If only this lamb burger tasted as good as it looked I would have been set. The burger was overcooked and the char grilled marks gave a bitter note to the patty. The tzatziki sauce was bland; to be fair the bun was on point though. Once I finally got the waiter’s attention I was able to order dessert. I was not leaving without having some baklava and my friends that saved the day; it was buttery, sweet, nutty, and flaky as it should.

No options available on the menu at 6pm. No grilled chicken breast, no chicken kabob, no falafel.

Our server was great and very nice. Food less than impressed. Order a chicken pita. Best part of my meal was the water and salad. I wish I had read the food reviews first before trying.

This place is disgusting. I’ve been here twice and the food is gross. Even the none bottle water was gross, tasted like the way the airport bathroom smells like. I ordered a chicken shawarma and it was a dry chicken burrito.
Stay away!

Two things are certain in my life: I pass through a lot of airports, and I absolutely adore Mediterranean food (I’m definitely an armchair expert in that department). However, I still haven’t learned my lesson that Mediterranean food at the otherwise not-​so-​bad Detroit Metro Airport is non-​existent. Why, oh why, do I keep expecting something more from such a poor excuse for a Mediterranean restaurant? I mean, Dearborn is so close — and with some of the finest Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food money can buy — how can this place be so far-​off?
Okay, prices aren’t terrible (even for airport grub) and service was surprisingly pleasant and just about as efficient as it needed to be for table service on a busy weekday evening. I presume that if you need food in a jiffy, that you aren’t doing sit-​down dining in an airport anyway.
So, for the food, there’s any and all iteration of vaguely-​Mediterranean food. Gyros that I’m sure aren’t from a spit, pitas that aren’t warmed, and hummus that will neither impress nor offend.
For some reason, I thought it would be a good idea to order one of my favorite items, vegetarian grape leaves, as a sandwich platter. Much to my surprise/​chagrin, the limp and sad grape leaves were rolled inside a cold piece of pita bread that was dribbled with a smattering of hummus, served alongside a plateful of cold fries. $ 12…well, it’s an airport.

This is a review for the to go section located next to the restaurant.
So gross. I ordered a chicken gyro which was far from appetizing. The chicken was stale without any flavor. The garlic sauce was sparse making this sandwich even less edible.
Sandwich and fries $ 9. Reasonably priced for airport food but I’d rather save my money and go hungry.
Service was fast and friendly, I’ll give them that.
I did order a premade parfait from the fridge to wash out the taste of the gyro (which I only took three bites of). $ 4.50. I would opt for that as a snack instead, if u need something to hold you over.

I was whelmed by Mediterranean Grill. By that I mean I was not overwhelmed or underwhelmed. It was ok.
It was JUICED when we came in for lunch. Likely because there aren’t a ton of lunch options in that terminal. I had a chicken wrap, which was alright. They had large local craft beers, which I enjoyed. Our waitress was busting her butt, but it seemed like they were understaffed. Fair lunch option in the Delta terminal.

I bought a fruit cup in my desperate state and realized after that it was at least 3 days old (from the sticker on the bottom of the cup) and the fruit in it had been questionably washed at best.

The Detroit airport doesn’t have a whole lot of rave options for food, and as far as service goes, this place was about as disgruntled as you’d expect. The woman in front of me in line forgot her drink at the register and the girl working the register pointed at the drink and quietly mouthed, ‘that’s yo drink’, while watching the customer walk away. Making as little effort as possible to alert the person. I ended up giving up my spot in line to run it over to the woman, then got back in line to purchase my cup of old fruit.
After I made my purchase, the girl at the counter just walked away with a full line going out of the storefront waiting. I realized then that I didn’t have a fork to eat my food with, so I went back to grab one, only the container with silverware was empty. I waited a minute and the girl never came back and the other person working just stared off from behind the juicer. I ended up reaching over the counter by the register to where I saw the packs of silverware to get it for myself.
The employees seemed like they were doing forced community service more than anything else.
I was half tempted to get a fresh juice but their juicer looked all kinds of dirty so I stuck with the old fruit cup… Which, at second glance, was only semi-​dirty.
I should have turned back as soon as I saw some of the stomach-​turning food pics that flash on their menu board (specifically the nachos, which look like someone just dumped a partial spoonful of that congealed canned gelatin cheese on broken chips), but it was my last option before my flight took off so I panicked and just went for it.

I’m not sure I’ve ever given a single star before but here’s the breakdown of my recent first experience with the DTW Detroit airport A-​Concourse restaurant:
— The Bloody Mary was the bright spot and I give it a 4 stars.
— The chicken gyro was really bad. I give that zero stars. I’m picky about meat but think gyro meat is pretty hard to mess up. This was chunks, not shaved meat, and it was all chewy tendons and fat, no real chicken or normal texture. Plus, there was no lettuce or tomato on this gyro, simply chicken and sauce. For $ 9 that’s pretty weak.
— The side salad I ordered was only $ 5 and wasn’t too bad but the lettuce was wilted or possibly freezer burn in places. I saved some to put on my gyro since it didn’t come with lettuce (see above and photo attached). I give that 2 – 3 stars.
— The price overall for this mediocre meal (I ate ²⁄₃ of the salad, most of the pita dipped in tzatziki, and drank the whole bloody) was about $ 30 but $ 11 of that was the Bloody Mary. I give the cost/​value 2 – 3 stars since it was the airport, otherwise I’d have been really disappointed.
— The servers were overworked and slow, which I give 2 stars.
Considering what drew me into this place (the promise of Mediterranean food) was the low spot in my experience I’m giving it a one star overall.

This was a weird place to end up trying my first falafel. Not because it was in an airport, but because it was absolutely not what I ordered. Not even close. I was the only one there, so it’s like they were busy. Too bad I was in a hurry and couldn’t make a correction.
I am certain, however, that I was served the most bland, dry Mediterranean food of my life. The pita bread was tough and rubbery. The falafel itself was so dry, I’d questioned if it had sat out for an hour and been reheated. My fries were just above room temperature and unsalted.
Fifteen minutes later, my friend came back with a gyro and said «Whoa what the hell is this?» The meat (which had no lamb, surprisingly), was cut off in large chunks rather than shaved. The tzatziki sauce is lame, and applied far too conservatively.
This place doesn’t even try. My airline food from Air France was more enjoyable. This place was a total waste.

Fazit: klassisches Airport Fast & Easy Bar and Restaurant Konzept
Es ist ja mein Style — ich mag diese Art von Restaurants an den US Airports sehr
Ein wenig Sport dabei sehen– ein gutes Draft Beer — eiskalt — Finger Food oder nen Burger dazu — und fertig
Hier in Detroit war aber meine Auswahl nicht so «prickelnd» — Low Class Burger, flapp kam er daher, ohne viel Geschmack, die Fries viel zu weich… insgesamt nicht gut!
Beim Beer kann man nicht viel schlecht machen… dir Bedienung auch nicht die freundlichste, hier bedarf es etwas mehr an Team Spirit…
Egal — der Detroit Airport hat noch weitere zu bieten, beim nächsten Mal suche ich einen anderen aus…
