I've been searching for good middle eastern food since leaving the eastern side of Michigan- and I think I found a good option at Ferris Deli!
We stopped in on a Sunday afternoon at 2pm and it actually surprisingly got busy after we ordered. All their options are extremely affordable- we opted to share a chicken shawarma platter.
It was actually a very decent size. They have the meats rotating in front of the fires (so you know it's legit), and I watched them cut off our meat. When we got our platter, they actually wrapped the meat into a shawarma wrap and had cut it up into bite size pieces. A little different than I had expected (I was expecting to just get the meat), but that works too.
It also came with a heaping side of hot fries and garlic sauce. I loveeeeeee garlic sauce, so I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the large portion of garlic sauce they gave. Also, there's hot sauce and pickles too.
It was a good size meal to split between the two of us. Was it the best chicken shawarma I've had? It's hard to compare to Dearborn restaurants, so no, but I did think it was still very good. Was it the best garlic sauce I've had? It wasn't the spicy garlic I like, but it still was pretty decent!
So if you have a craving and don't want to drive three hours to Dearborn, I suggest you check out Ferris Deli. It'll be nice on your stomach and your wallet too.
