OC Restaurant Quest: Bucharest Grill in Detroit, Grosse Pointe Woods, Royal Oak, and Southfield
(Crystal A. Proxmire, April 13, 2024)
Detroit, Grosse Pointe Woods, Royal Oak, and Southfield, MI – Bucharest Grill is named after the largest city of Romania, and their menu is inspired by classic Romanian and middle eastern cuisine. This local chain launched in Detroit in 2006. Since then they’ve grown to seven locations, including the Royal Oak carryout spot at 13 and Woodward where I went for my Restaurant Quest.
I was delighted with my chicken shawarma, and the creamy, almost addictive, garlic sauce that dominated the bites. But the thing that really makes this shawarma top notch is that the chicken is well-marinated and grilled to perfection. It also has tomato, lettuce, and pickles.
The hummus was also amazing, with a tangy smooth flavor that tops the typical hummus one can get at a grocery store.
I also ordered the stuffed pepper – drowning in greasy tomato sauce and stuffed with meat and rice, topped artfully with a slice of tomato, this was also an indulgent item.
Bucharest Grill also has beef, lamb, vegetarian, and falafel shawarma, along with other dishes cabbage salad, chicken bites, and grape leaves.
