Alexander walks a fine line of almost appearing to be a little upscale, but in reality is just casual dining. Which is fine! I appreciated the atmosphere, the bar area is especially beautiful. There are only tables, no booths. A petty complaint I suppose, but I'm a big booth sitter, I always feel "on display" when I'm at a table, lol. They have extended their $6.95 lunch menu to being served all day, which is cool. However I bypassed this and went for the fattoush salad, with added chicken and feta. I found it odd that the hummus appetizer we ordered for the table came with cold flat pita wrapped up in plastic (dissapointing) but with my salad came a basket of fluffy fresh warmed little pita pockets, SO much better! Why the difference in bread? Esp odd that the cold, cheaper bread came with the hummus appetizer we intentionally ordered and paid for and the warm, tastier bread came complimentary with the salad. Weird. The chicken was pretty dry but decently seasoned. Good fattoush dressing. I was very satisfied w the portion. And the prices are reasonable. All in all it was, just as 3 stars signifies, "A-Ok." I might go back, I might not. We'll see.

My husband and I live fairly close to this restaurant. We've tried a few other places that have Mediterranean cuisine but by far like Alexander's the best. The portions are awesome for the price and I like that they deliver for nights we'd rather stay in. The staff is always friendly and helpful. All in all, a great restaurant.

Please help me petition Yelp to allow less than 1 star reviews!!! please. This place deserves ZERO STARS!!! On to the mess at this establishment: 1) My wife and I sit down and inquire about bread that is normally served at Lebanese restaurants. Our server informs us it depends. It depends on how much we will spend and on what partner/owner is in the back. ARE YOU SERIOUS! Strike 1!!! 2) My wife and I ask about a shish combo and realize that iw would be nice to take a skewer home to our son. How much? $6.50 for one!!!!!! ARE YOU SERIOUS? Other establishments charge $3.75 to 4.25. Strike 2!!! 3)We ordered two entrees and they both arrive. Our lucky day, a minute later our server brought some bread with a small (real small) saucer of toum spread (garlic lemon sauce) for our bread. Now, my wife and I eat Lebanese every week at least twice. We like to not only use the toum spread on the bread but also on our shish tawook and other entrees. Well...our server and us both looked at the tiny saucer of sauce and both agreed it is not even enough for the bread we received much less use it on our entree. So we asked if we could have another and could it be filled more robustly. She says, "Yes but that will be $1.85 for each"! ARE YOU SERIOUS? Strike 3!!! After the 3 strikes we informed our server to inform the owner/partner in the back, calling the shots, that we will not be back. She returned and said that she did. Do you think the jerk would come out and confront us and inquire about what is wrong? No way. He did not care. Ok, well...my wife and I do not care either and will never be back! Serious friends. Ignore this place...drive by and do not even think of going in. Why? Because two blocks away is Cafe Jole!!!!! A friendly place that is not managed by a bunch of cheap skate owners. They have better food and never quibble over stupid things like one under filled saucer for bread and two entrees. They do not play these types of games at all! See my other review please! ASk for Jenna when you go, she will put a smile on your face. Also, every other server there is tops like Jenna. The owners are more sincere and realistic as far as prices go too! If by some chance you exceed all the Toum spread they give you, it will cost like 50 cents for another...not $1.85 like the cheapskates at Alexanders! As far as the food here at Alexanders? Blah, it is just ok. Go to Cafe Jole's around the corner for better quality and better prices! Please, please, please go to Cafe Jole around the corner....it is so much better!

Everything we tried was outstanding. Everything from the bread, soup, salad, to the entree was met with a sentiment like "wow, this is so good, try this...". The atmosphere, live music, service are all top-notch too.
It's alright, I prefer kabob house. The rice is super oily, the portions are a bit small. Shawarma platter was okay. I love their fattoush salad, though.

This has to be my favorite restaurant for Middle Eastern food. Always fresh, delicious and great presentation. The decor is very nice, clean and comfortable. The staff is great, very knowledgeable, friendly and very good hosts.

OK, just got back from a Friday lunch at Alexander's. I had one of the lunch specials with a diet pop. Total bill with tax was $8.43 (not bad). The garlic spread with small pita is complimentary for the meal (very good). I got the chicken swarma with rice and baba g. (lacking flavor to say the least). My GF got the Tawook (which had more flavor, but she said it had the texture of being cooked in the microwave). We both mixed the garlic sauce in our main meal to add some flavor. Not sure if I will be back, it might be worth trying 1 more time! Very clean, pleasant atmosphere

I've eaten here a total of 4x, everything has been wonderful. Service is very friendly. They even remember me when I walk through the door for dinner. Lunch specials are excellent. The warm pita bread and garlic butter is very delicious. Try the beef shwarma. The spices they use are amazing. I will definitely continue to come here for lunch/dinner.

Love this place! It is a family owned and run restaurant with great food. They have made the inside look very upscale, but the prices remain great. They have a number of lunch specials for $6.95 and the amount they give you is awesome. Okay, here are some particulars: The Chicken Shawarma is beyond good! The hummus is always a hit, as is the garlic paste. They give you little pitas for dipping into the hummus or garlic paste and regular size pitas to turn your entree into a sandwich. The fattoush salad dressing has quite a kick and the greens are always crisp! They don't always have the pickled turnips, but when they do, they are awesome! I buy a side of them just because I can't seem to get enough of them. I'm not a real rice lover, but their pilaf is pretty good without the red sauce (which they serve on the side). The decor is beautiful inside, but the outside is not so great. They took over an old Payless Shoe store and the outside still looks like it. The family waitstaff is always looking to please you. They seem to really want to know their patrons and value the fact that you come in. I have now become a regular there and will continue. In this area, there are many Lebanese restaurants and so many are overrated. This little place has heart!

Atmosphere was great Wait staff extremely funny and friendly. Live music on Friday and Saturday nights was great. All the food was great except.........hummus was flavorless, but all in all it was great. One more thing, being a Detroit Tiger fan I was very pleased since they had 3 big screen tv's and was able to watch the game. GO TIGERS.

Tiffany J.
When I can go 200ft down the road for a much better priced meal, I will. I've only eaten here once and I will not be back. We did do a carry out, however, one of the simplest dishes is a shwarmmas and they managed to make it nasty and tasteless.

Robert L.
This restaurants food was awesome and feels so authentic they really have a passion for their food. our server was awesome giving us her own personal opinions which to say the least did not lead anyone of us astray. I would recommend this place

Austin G.
This place opened 6 days before we ate there. The food was great! THe price wasn't bad (you can find cheaper) but the quality was great. There were 5 of us for dinner and we ordered the dinner for 6 which had a bit of everything. We all loved it and took some home. The portions were great. and they offer a take out menu as well. We will be regulars here.

I was driving 13 Mile Road when I passed Alexander with their sign that says $6.95 for lunch 11a to 3p everyday. I decided to swing by since, this particular day, I have not eaten breakfast nor lunch, I am quite hungry and Middle Eastern food sounds like it would hit the spot. When I entered through the door, the place was delightfully spacious with its eclectic decorations on the walls (a mix of faux paintings and what can only be called as faux photographs) and feels as though you're in a high-end restaurant... WITH NO BOOTHS! Call me nuts but I like it when I am eating out and ENCLOSED in a booth in a way that people around me get to have a LIMITED view of how I stuff my face. When I sat down, it hit me like a ton of brick that I was NOT in a high-end restaurant (even though the place feels like MAYBE you're in one) when I saw there was PAPER on top of the linen table cloth! I personally find this tacky and feels like, while this is just my first time here in this restaurant, I am already assumed to be a messy eater who spills my hummus and garlic sauce on the table cloth such that it JUST HAVE TO BE COVERED by tacky white paper!!! The server though was kind enough to explain again to me the difference between a baba ganoush, tabbouleh and fatoush. I ordered the salad. While I was looking around, I saw my server grab a plastic bag of some sort, take out some pitas and heat them in a microwave. There goes my fantasy of eating fresh bread pitas today! My salad came with a separate order of pita chips (free) -- which is probably the only factor that made this review two stars instead of one the other one being the very creamy garlic sauce. My chicken shawarma came with rice. One thing I immediately notice is that they were trying to FILL in a BIG plate with lunch size serving to LOOK like you are buying hefty portions. You're not. It is what it is no matter how much you try to scatter 3/4 cup of chicken in a plate that can hold one gallon. Here's an idea: why not use a SMALLER PLATE! The chicken shawarma looked good but when it hit my taste bud it is DRY as the Sahara Desert at a summer noon! No wonder the garlic sauce was extra creamy, it was USEFUL to mask both taste and non-juiciness of the chicken. I was just thankful I did not pay full dinner price for my lunch. I guess I get what I paid for. Sorry Alexander but I will not be back.

This is one of those places that just screams "I won a lawsuit and all I got was this lousy restaurant." Let me rephrase: You have to wonder how people open these enormous, palatial Lebanese restaurants, when there are never any customers in the place. It's huge, it's very nicely decorated, and the food is mediocre. I don't know how these things happen. Family money? Daddy, I want a restaurant? Anyways, the fresh-baked pita bread was good, if a bit too chewy. The hummous was bland as bland can be, and the shawarma meat was terrible; absolutely flavorless strips of sad, slightly fatty beef (or maybe it was lamb, and the fact that I can't tell you which says it all). At least it had pine nuts on it? The garlic whip was good though! I'm grasping at straws. They do have an unusual sandwich that is slightly different from all the other cookie-cutter Lebanese/middle eastern restaurants in town: it was fried cauliflower, something I've not seen in a sandwich before. Decent. At any rate, there are better places. This place isn't terrible, but it's not that good either. I think it's the only middle eastern restaurant in the area, so if you must go here, at least it's not horrible.

This place used to be a great local small business for delicious Lebanese cuisine.my husband and I have been dining here for a few years. The staff was professional and had knowledge of the menu selections. This place was a huge plus with the vegetarian selection they offer. The last 6 months have been a huge drop in service. No one seems to know what is on the menu and carry outs seems to be a bag of mystery. In the past, we could tell there was new servers and tried to assist. 1 dining experience the newer server came back 4 times to make sure he got it right and every item was brought to the table separate on his little tray. Frustrating and annoying we laughed it off. But after a few months of try to be patient with similar experiences, my husband and I will never be back. It's a shame, we support small business but because they are rude and completely incompetent on taking a food order we leave there upset every time enough is enough. Sorry Alexander's we will miss the food

Barbie M.
WOW! I have gone here to eat once and got carry out twice now and have yet to find a flaw. The menu is great and full of variety. Last night (mother's day) I called and 8:35pm to find out what time they close I was told 9. I promptly place a carry out order with hesitation because carry out orders this close to closing time can be a bit sketchy at best. I walk into Alexander's and I am greeted with smiles and hellos. My carry out isn't ready just yet. Oh I cannot forget i ordered something and they were out and I took their suggestion on a green bean dish i cannot spell or pronounce and it was AWESEOME! Everything here is great. The food is fresh the owners/staff are so nice and friendly and my boyfriend likes it and he is a very picky eater. If you like lebanese food try this place you won't be let down.

Jessica Y.
I have eaten here about 15 times or so since it opened. I am definitely finicky when it comes to my Lebanese food. Being vegetarian, this is definitely one of the best I've been to, other than Cedar Gardens. I really like the inside decor, it's very open and has a calming atmosphere. I am in love with their veggie grape leaves, garlic sauce, hummus, tabbouli, falafel patties, and baba ghanooj. You get a good amount for a good price. And they are definitely consistent.

We had dinner here last night! The food was wonderful, they brought extra pita for my daughter, and we had tons of food to take home! We will be back soon!

Pierre C.
So I may be a bit biased because I know the owners and have been friends for nearly two decades. But, I can also boast that I'm considered by many in the food industry to be the foremost expert on Hommus and other traditional Lebanese foods. Having said that, the Hommus here is absolutely AMAZING! You simply can't make it any better. You'd have to go to Beirut to get a Falafel the compares with what Alexander's offers. And the Garlic spread was remarkable as was expected! If you're looking for good food and more formal dining in Warren, this place is definitely recommended (and a decent price).

MICHAEL R.
Wow what a disappointment. I was really hoping this place would be good. It is within walking distance of my house and I love Arabic food but this is the worst I have ever had. The place looks nice and the staff is nice it is just that the food is poor. I ordered hummus with chicken shawarma...I got bland hummus, chicken that was shaved like chips or scraps and rice that was like minute rice. The crushed lentil soup is fair but very bland. To the owners: there are plenty of former employees of LaShish around that I am sure can help you with recipes for great food...please find them...I want to come back but can't until I hear that something has changed. In the meantime I can recommend the Palm Palace in sterling heights, Hummous on Gratiot in Eastpointe and Grapeleaves on northwestern hwy.

Meh. By far not great. I'm Lebanese and I've eaten authentic Lebanese cuisine at home my whole life. This place is just down the street from our house so we had high hopes. Prices are high for the location, and food quality sub-par. Presentation of food was poor and server was new and less than helpful but friendly. Free garlic dip and pitas were nice but didn't help the bland taste of the entrees. Meat was horribly dry and looked like table scraps. Veggies were steamed and plain and we were not given anything to put on them. Not even butter. We will NOT return. Overall very disappointing. The peeps who gave good reviews should consider trying other middle eastern style restaurants. If you don't you don't know what you are missing. By the way we are 2 blocks away and as soon as we walked in the door we both had to rush to the bathroom. So much for a good birthday dinner. Thanks Alexander's for giving our wallets and our toilets a workout.

this is the 6th different Lebanese diner that i have been to and by far the worst fatoosh salad and flavorless chicken shwarma i have had yet. so far nothing holds a candle to the Country Kitchen on Scheaffer between Ford and Mich ave in dearborn. i think it is time to stop trying places and wasting my time, taste buds, and money on less than meals
Sorry, Store hours have not been updated. If you are the owner of this restaurants. Please update the store hours.

Alexander walks a fine line of almost appearing to be a little upscale, but in reality is just casual dining. Which is fine! I appreciated the atmosphere, the bar area is especially beautiful. There are only tables, no booths. A petty complaint I suppose, but I'm a big booth sitter, I always feel "on display" when I'm at a table, lol. They have extended their $6.95 lunch menu to being served all day, which is cool. However I bypassed this and went for the fattoush salad, with added chicken and feta. I found it odd that the hummus appetizer we ordered for the table came with cold flat pita wrapped up in plastic (dissapointing) but with my salad came a basket of fluffy fresh warmed little pita pockets, SO much better! Why the difference in bread? Esp odd that the cold, cheaper bread came with the hummus appetizer we intentionally ordered and paid for and the warm, tastier bread came complimentary with the salad. Weird. The chicken was pretty dry but decently seasoned. Good fattoush dressing. I was very satisfied w the portion. And the prices are reasonable. All in all it was, just as 3 stars signifies, "A-Ok." I might go back, I might not. We'll see.

The food is subpar at best, and hardly passes as authentic. The shawarma tastes more like sautéed chicken than anything else. The garlic is decent, but not impressive. The rice is very greasy and heavy. Honestly, it tastes like rice a roni smothered in butter. They do not offer chicken cream chop, which is my favorite, and quite frankly, a huge oversight on their part. Alexander's is fine for a quick fix of Lebanese, but not a "go-to". I'd recommend Ollie ' s at 14 and Van Dyke for real Lebanese food.

But, I can also boast that I'm considered by many in the food industry to be the foremost expert on Hommus and other traditional Lebanese foods. Having said that, the Hommus here is absolutely AMAZING! You simply can't make it any better. You'd have to go to Beirut to get a Falafel the compares with what Alexander's offers. And the Garlic spread was remarkable as was expected! If you're looking for good food and more formal dining in Warren, this place is definitely recommended (and a decent price).

Wow what a disappointment. I was really hoping this place would be good. It is within walking distance of my house and I love Arabic food but this is the worst I have ever had. The place looks nice and the staff is nice it is just that the food is poor. I ordered hummus with chicken shawarma...I got bland hummus, chicken that was shaved like chips or scraps and rice that was like minute rice. The crushed lentil soup is fair but very bland. To the owners: there are plenty of former employees of LaShish around that I am sure can help you with recipes for great food...please find them...I want to come back but can't until I hear that something has changed. In the meantime I can recommend the Palm Palace in sterling heights, Hummous on Gratiot in Eastpointe and Grapeleaves on northwestern hwy.

Meh. By far not great. I'm Lebanese and I've eaten authentic Lebanese cuisine at home my whole life. This place is just down the street from our house so we had high hopes. Prices are high for the location, and food quality sub-par. Presentation of food was poor and server was new and less than helpful but friendly. Free garlic dip and pitas were nice but didn't help the bland taste of the entrees. Meat was horribly dry and looked like table scraps. Veggies were steamed and plain and we were not given anything to put on them. Not even butter. We will NOT return. Overall very disappointing. The peeps who gave good reviews should consider trying other middle eastern style restaurants. If you don't you don't know what you are missing. By the way we are 2 blocks away and as soon as we walked in the door we both had to rush to the bathroom. So much for a good birthday dinner. Thanks Alexander's for giving our wallets and our toilets a workout.

this is the 6th different Lebanese diner that i have been to and by far the worst fatoosh salad and flavorless chicken shwarma i have had yet. so far nothing holds a candle to the Country Kitchen on Scheaffer between Ford and Mich ave in dearborn. i think it is time to stop trying places and wasting my time, taste buds, and money on less than meals
