My friend recommended this place and she was spot on. The food was excellent, the dining room was spacious, and our server was friendly and helpful. Our food all came out of the kitchen fast, too! To split two ways we ordered a small fattoush, a small lentil soup, and the chicken shawarma dinner and it was plenty of food. We were both marveling at how fresh and delicious the salad was. The soup was incredibly comforting and the chicken was moist, tender, and well seasoned. If I lived locally, I would eat here all the time!

I've reviewed this before and it is still the best middle eastern food in the area outside of Dearborn. We've gone for lunch, gotten takeout out and this visit dined in with our family on a Thursday night. It wasn't very busy so we were seated immediately, which was perfect with two kids in tow. We got the combo for two and a side of hummus. It was perfect for the four of us. We even had some leftovers. The staff were very friendly as always and they have our favorite things: grape leaves, kafta, and shwarma. This place also converted us to like fried kibbee- crunchy, soft, and flavorful (not dry like other places can be). Hummus is creamy and not salty. They make their pita in house in a wood fired oven and they come to your table hot and soft. Overall, a wonderful experience.

I've been coming here every week for the last couple of weeks. The service is so fast and friendly - you get a bunch of bread with the best garlic sauce as a free appetizer, and they cook so quickly that by the time you're on the second piece of bread the main course is already out. We really like the feast of meats for two ($38 as of Dec 2024). It's really enough for 3-4 people in my opinion, especially if you eat a lot of bread like we do. The platter comes with a mix of kebabs and shawarma, grilled veggies, rice, and tahini. The seasoning is not too heavy, so you don't get overwhelmed and sick of the taste. We also love the hummus platter here, which comes with an arrangement of fresh vegetables. Cannot recommend this place enough.

My spouse and I tried this place for dinner today. We've driven by it in the past and we were curious about it, so decided today was the day to try it out. I am so glad that we did! We came in to a half filled restaurant but were seated almost immediately. Our server was Casey and he was very kind & helpful. He brought us bread and garlic sauce to start off and the garlic sauce was like no other! Thick and very garlicky, I could put it on everything! We decided to get the feast of meats for 2, it came with soup or salad, rice and veggies. The soup we chose was chicken and vegetable, it was a very hearty tomato based soup packed with flavor and very healing! Would be perfect if you had a cold or the flu. Our meal was brought out in a timely manner and holy cow it's a lot of food! Meal for 2 felt like meal for 3-4! All the meat was tender, seasoned well and just cooked perfectly. The vegetables served with the meat complimented it very well. The rice was nice and fluffy, coated in a tomato sauce of some sort, very delicious! We both had a small plate of everything and were left with a lot to take home! Prices are fantastic for what you are given too. I will definitely be back, and I recommend this place to anyone looking to try a new Lebanese spot, especially if you have a larger crowd! They have great deals on their feasts!! Thank you La Saj! You have a new costumer ;)

Affordable Americanized Lebanese themed food available in a modern restaurant or takeout (?). We ate in and appreciated the prompt and polite server's assistance. Setting is adequate, on the simple side. We were surprised observing La Saj also has a liquor license.

How have I been on yelp for all these years and somehow I didn't review one of the best lebanese restaurants in michigan?? The food is always good here and my family & friends agree when I take them here. My favorite thing here has to be the garlic sauce because they put jalapeno peppers in it so it has a unique bite to it. The only thing I don't like about this place is the customer service. Sometimes its good and other times they are so rude.

My favourite was the garlic sauce, I ate so much of it. Otherwise food was very good, we ate light as we weren't super hungry. The server was super nice and patient. I also loved the inside of the restaurant, he had very calming Middle Eastern feel.

The chicken and beef shawarma was very tender. The tahini paired with the beef shawarma was solid. The lentil soup was average. The bread and butter was a nice touch. The service was average, but friendly. The ambiance was family friendly. The portions were generous and we shared our entrees.
