Bites Nearby: Mr. Kabob

This Middle Eastern restaurant at a gas station in Berkley will change your perception about where quality cuisine can be prepared.

Mr. Kabob, 3372 Coolidge Highway, Berkley, 248-545-4000 

 is no longer a hidden gem. Mention the name, and the response is almost always, "Oh, that place in a gas station?"  

It is true that Mr. Kabob is located in the Sunoco at 12 Mile and Coolidge in Berkley, but that should not diminish expectations. The shop serves serious Middle Eastern cuisine that is flavorful, fresh and affordable.

The Gulli family started Mr. Kabob Mediterranean Cuisine in 2003 next to the family’s gas station, and it has since grown into a franchise business.
