My family and I haven’t tried everything on the menu “YET” , but we hope too! We tried many items and they were all DELICIOUS!!! But I’m just exaggerate this Lentil Soup on the menu is PHENOMENAL!! My son just turned 6 months and he enjoys it with me. It is soooooo good and I go to Edulis Grill just to get it. Wonderful hospitality shown by Ali, and we love this restaurant. Stop in and enjoy your meal and your host. Salaam

Highly recommended that you stop here when in Dearborn! Fantastic food and incredible hospitality! Don’t forget to bring your Corvette! Soup is delicious, next time I will make it my meal. Tasty tea adds to the experience. Lamb was excellent, with a wonderful long grain rice and tomato based stew on the side. What value! Great for a quick meal or family sit down dinner. Every one was so kind and welcoming, really enjoyed exploring the cuisine. Will return!

Easily one of the best dining experiences and that’s all due to Ali, an incredible host and one of the kindest people you’ll encounter. The food is exceptional to be sure. Everything is made with such love and Ali’s enthusiasm brings everything to another level. The lentil soup is the best around - period. Excellent falafel, fantastic kebabs, delicious shawarma. Edulis is a true gem. Visit as soon as you can.

I had the best table service of my life on a 23 bill. I’d give six stars if I could. Every review of this place praises both the food and the incredible service of Ali. It’s all justified.As soon as I walked in, alone on business travel, Ali (server; chef’s son) asks if I’m dining in. I say yes. He brings me a cup of soup on the house. I’ve been inside for 30 seconds.Ali recommends the Iraqi kebab, so I order it. He says it’s amazing with hummus and he’ll bring me some. With the hummus, he also brings two cups of a garlic spread and tells me to trust him. When I get my food, I have two additional charred, full tomatoes and an extra portion of meat. All of it is incredible. Ali refills my soup. When I’m done eating, Ali packs everything left into to-go boxes and brings me a cup of black cardamom tea. My bill comes and I’m only charged for the kebab.Y’all, Ali didn’t even bring me a pen to add a tip. He told me when I asked for a pen that tips made him uncomfortable. I visited this place from out of state and in a bad mood because of two days of delayed travel. At the end of this meal, I felt better about humanity. Ali kept telling me “take your time” every time he brought me something I didn’t ask for. This is food and company meant to be savored.I, a white Kansan, felt 100% like a family member in this Iraqi kitchen. Written in English above the soda refrigerator on a whiteboard is “Treat others how you want to be treated,” right next to their specials. They practice what they preach.The food truly is excellent, but Ali made the experience unparalleled. Please support this business. And please insist on tipping—this is a family business operated by extremely kind people. Don’t take advantage. Give back, just like they do.

I got an opportunity to dine in here last night before going to a comedy show. WOW! I have never been to a place with such nice service! I am a nobody in life, but our server treated me like I was a VIP and family member! He greeted every customer that came in this way. Where he had the energy for this, I don't know, but I LOVED it!FOOD: After being wowed by the service, next came the food. DELICIOUS! The soup that came with the combo ordered was so good; I was immediately sad that I wouldn't be able to just order this anytime I wanted (I live too far away.) The combo platter was full of delicious and flavorful foods as well. The beef kabob meat was my favorite on that platter. If I could rate this place higher than 5 stars, I totally would! This might be one of my highest recommended places to date. The kindness, mixed with the food, made this an excellent experience!P.S. Ordered some carrot cake to go, and very much enjoyed that as well. I don't think they make it there, but it was a yummy finish to the night.

Don’t be put off by the outside because sheeeeeesh Edulis Grill was a highlight of our recent trip to Detroit. We made it a point to try a bunch of different restaurants around Dearborn to try various authentic Middle Eastern cuisines. Usually I am the type to discount ratings on service/cleanliness as long as the food is banging but after various experiences of feeling somewhat ignored or treated differently for being bumbling outsiders at other establishments in the area, I do have to note how refreshing and just really nice it was to receive the warmth, patience, and hospitality that just radiated from the owner at Edulis, especially since this was our last quick meal in Detroit. Now on to the food, the most important part! The kebab was the best I’ve had in Detroit which means it is one of the best I’ve ever had full of subtle but vibrant flavors. Can’t describe it as anything but succulent simplicity on a plate. The lentil soup was great and just homey. Overall a perfect experience and I had to write this review even though this was a quick stop.

We enjoyed a delicious meal, with the suggestions Ali, gave us it was the best, very good portions of food, the service was excellent, friendly and always attentive to what we needed. I hope to return soon. I saw all the customers very happy with the service and the food.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Edulis Grill, and I have to say, it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Ali and other patrons greeted me with genuine smiles and made me feel right at home.I started with a Herbal Tea and it was delicious. I opted for the Chicken shawarma and it did not disappoint. The flavors were rich, the texture was spot on, and every bite felt like a true delight. I also tried their Lentil soup. It was packed with flavor, perfectly seasoned, and beautifully presented. The ingredients were fresh, and you could tell the chef put a lot of care into every dish.The service was impeccable throughout the visit. Ali was knowledgeable, attentive, and made great recommendations. .Overall, I highly recommend Edulis Grill for anyone looking for great food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere. I can't wait to return with my family.
