Handcrafted Middle Eastern Food Near Downtown Brighton

Great days in Livingston County deserve a meal made with real care and bold flavor. Situated right on West Grand River Avenue near Main Street, our Brighton dining room is a go-to spot for families, shoppers, and commuters traveling the I-96 and US-23 corridors. Guests strolling over after an afternoon at the Brighton Mill Pond, wrapping up a winter session on the slopes at Mt. Brighton, or heading back from hiking at Brighton Recreation Area and Island Lake can always count on a warm welcome and a satisfying meal.

Everything we serve starts with authentic spices, crisp produce, and 100% halal meats. All day long, you’ll smell warm pita bread baking in our stone oven, ready to be dipped into creamy, house-blended hommous or our famous garlic spread. Stopping in for a relaxed sit-down dinner, grabbing a quick lunch between errands at Green Oak Village Place, or picking up a family feast on your drive home toward Howell or South Lyon is quick and effortless.
