Al Tayeb Subs - Garden City

I guess this started out as a breakfast place, but my wife and I went there for dinner. It was fantastic everything just tasted so fresh. Probably the best hummus I have ever eaten. We ordered it with meat, but I think it would have been just as good without. The fattoush was also delicious as well as a reddish colored meat dish that we loved (I forgot the name . Our server was very friendly and helpful with his suggestions, which was nice, since we weren't familiar with some of the dishes. I don't often write reviews, but this restaurant was so great that I had to make the time : .

Amazing spot to grab breakfast/lunch. The food is incredible. Make sure you order the Battatta Harra (Spicy Potatoes), the flavors are insane. Falafel was incredible; crunchy on the outside, yet airy and fluffy on the inside. The fattoush and tabouleh are great if you are feeling a salad. My family loves the fatten with laban. This place is a go to spot for my family/friends and I whenever i am in Dearborn/Dearborn Heights.

I've never had Lebanese food like this!!! Super fresh and tasty. The complimentary dish of mint, tomatoes, pickled radish and cucumber and onions were so vibrantly fresh as if it had just been picked that day. Food presentation was well done. Service was superb. Friendly and helpful as we asked questions since first timers. The place was clean! Oh and the tea! Oh the tea! Divine. They have this beautiful copper server with at least 6 copper pots for tea. Mmmmm, so good. I went to the original restaurant. Will surely be back in for tea and delicious food.

I usually go to the Al Tayeb in Dearborn, but decided to try the original for once. The food at this location is every bit as good and as a bonus, the employees and service are way friendlier. Hummus with Ground Meat $12.99) I have been to restaurants all over Dearborn and adjacent and in my opinion, Al Tayeb has the best hummus of them all. This is the perfect mix of chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon, and spices. We normally just have the complimentary hummus I believe they usually give a small normal hummus for free for certain order sizes), but decided to spice it up this time with the ground meat option this adds spiced ground beef and an assortment of toasted nuts on top. It makes a great hummus even better! 5/5) Mosabaha $10.49) This was described by the server as hummus on top of hummus on top of hummus and I guess he wasn 't really wrong. This was basically a runnier hummus mixed with extra garlic, mashed chickpeas, and lemon juice and topped with whole chickpeas. A strong fresh, aromatic lemon flavor dominates this dish, lending a nice contrast against the regular hummus. This dish is served warm. I prefer the normal hummus, but this was good too! 5/5) Spicy Potato $8.99) This was the only dish we thought was done less well at this location. While they were still good, the potatoes were missing the crispy edge and didn 't have nearly enough of the spicy cilantro mixture placed on top. In fact, we had to add in quite a few shakes of ground red pepper provided at the table to get it to the correct spiciness. 4/5) Vegetables Pita Complimentary) Fresh mint, pickles, onion, and tomato. Free regular pita bread. What 's not to like? Really, I think the only thing that could be improved is if they had fresh baked pita for purchase. Note: As with a lot of Middle Eastern restaurants around the area, the water is not free you can only purchase bottled water. They don 't mind if you bring your own water though. I highly recommend Al Tayeb. Go and eat anything; you won 't be disappointed.

Stopped by here for brunch today for the first time, and we had to make sure to try a bunch of items. Samer was wonderful in giving his recommendations. We were very impressed with everything and look forward to going back to try more items! 1. The chai was made perfectly. 2. The sesame fried cheese was delicious. Would definitely order again. 3. The labneh and zaatar hit the spot. 4. The fatteh with tahini was super yummy. 5. The ful Al Tayeb was also very good. 6. The hummus was so delicious, that we ordered one to go. Everything was fresh and you can taste the homemade goodness of it. Highly recommend!
