Here's Lovefood's praise for Al Ameer Restaurant:

The first Michigan restaurant to receive a James Beard America's Classics gong, Al Ameer has been serving consistently exceptional and authentic Middle Eastern and Mediterranean dishes since it opened in 1989. The family-run restaurant also features an in-house butchery and now has two other locations in the area. For those in the know, the Lebanese weekend brunch is a real highlight.

The other Al Ameer locations are in Dearborn Heights and Canton.
