"Where to Eat Middle Eastern Food in Detroit: Al Ameer - The creamy hummus goes perfectly with everything on the plate, especially the basket of hot, puffy pita bread—fresh-baked to order in a traditional brick oven—that accompanies every order."

"Where to Dine and Drink in Dearborn: Al Ameer - With dishes like kibbeh neyeh (raw beef mixed with bulgar, onion, and spices), it’s an essential destination for any culinary tour of Dearborn."

Molly Abraham

"From the appetizers of hummus and tabouli to the main plates of shish kafta, kabob and tawook, the kitchen excels. Notable dishes include hummus Beirut, a spicy house version of the mashed chickpea dish that outshines the traditional hummus with its accents of finely chopped tomato, parsley and jalapenos."

"I go to Dearborn, Michigan, just for this lunch. The ful mudammas, boiled-then-mashed fava beans, is punched up with garlic, salt, and lemon juice and invites dip after dip of toasted pita."

"I go to Dearborn, Michigan, just for this lunch. The tabbouleh is herb-heavy, with plenty of bright lip-smacking acidity."

"13 Next-Level Falafel Joints Across America: Al Ameer - The falafel is made fresh every day with chickpeas and fava beans; the tahini is house-made as well. Parsley, tomatoes, and tahini are standard inclusions in a falafel sandwich in Lebanon, and you can certainly get it that way at any of Al-Ameer's three locations, but everyone sitting at your table will understand if you simply eat the eight falafel balls one by one."

"The babaganouj was the best I’ve had (I usually don’t like it much)."

Betsy Rubiner

"The food was fantastic - best tabbouli I’ve ever had. Very green, just parsley and chopped tomatoes, no bulgar. Lots of lemon and I’m not sure what else."

Brooke Burton-Lüttmann

"Delivered warm to the table in simple baskets, diners are quick to gobble down the bread dipped into creamy hummus and the velvety and tart baba ganoush—the best I’ve ever tasted."
