Oddly, our favorite mid-eastern place is in Inkster, not Dearborn, but we’re always up for fattoush and tabbouleh. ---

They were phenomenal the couple of times we went there, but wound up closing mysteriously. ☹ Seems like it had a more traditional Arabic-sounding name but perhaps that’s it? I was last there in January or February of this year. ---

I don’t have my heart set on Dearborn. Just delicious Middle Eastern food. ---

Amani’s. Al-Ameer on Warren Road (there’s one in Dearborn Heights on Beech) is really good too. I’ve heard great things about Palm Palace, and there’s one in Ann Arbor. ---

[http://amanilebaneserestaurant.com/](http://amanilebaneserestaurant.com/) Not picky here either, I just love Middle Eastern food - 26th and 27th are out for me, but the other dates would work. ---

I like New Yasmeen on Warren Ave. it’s more of a bakery/deli, but the food is great. ---

Tad early for me (I’m working and it’s a 90-minute drive) but I can make it, or close enough for government work. 🙂 ---
