I recently ate at one of my favorite cheap eat spots in the city and decided to share it with all of you: Bucharest Grill.  If you have never been there you need to go! My mouth waters as I even write about it.

The restaurant is located on Park Ave right next door to the Park Bar in Detroit’s Foxtown.  For those not familiar with the area it is near the Fox Theatre and down the street from The Fillmore Detroit.

The restaurant is well known with locals, as being the place to go for shawarma sandwiches outside of Dearborn.  They have both beef and chicken—even a vegetarian one. The sandwiches are stuffed with veggies and garlic.

My personal favorite is the chicken shawarma.  The chicken isn’t dry and overcooked.  Also, it is perfectly seasoned and not overpowering.  I always get mine with an extra side of garlic because I love garlic that much.  The sandwich is absolutely delicious.  They are served wrapped in foil and look like a big burrito, when they come out.  I must say they also have some great curly fries there!

This place does a lot of carry out, but if you want to sit you can grab a table and sit in the Park Bar.  Restaurant staff will bring your food to you.  You can even grab an adult beverage from the bar, or get water or pop, when you order your food.

Bucharest Grill serves more then just sandwiches.  Their food ranges from hot dogs and burgers to Middle Eastern and traditional Romanian dishes.

Do yourself a favor and check out this place if you haven’t yet. You will not be sorry!
