Know Your Niles Food? Detroit Kabob House

Yesterday we asked you to guess who makes the pictured food; today we reveal the answer.

Niles doesn't have too many Middle Eastern restaurants, let alone any who prepare Middle Eastern food Detroit style. (Detroit is known as a hub of Arab Americans and Middle Eastern Americans.) That's why Samuel and Sammy Zaya, who are brothers, opened Detroit Kabob House last June at 9021 N. Milwaukee Avenue, Niles.

The Detroit spin shows most noticeably on the combo dishes, which the shop prepares in the same way as in the Michigan metropolis. They also feature beef and chicken kabobs of various types, falafel, hummus, tabouli, fish and quails.

If you're having a party, the Zayas, who are of Assyrian origin and originally from Iraq, can also grill you up a half lamb or a full lamb.

Can't eat that much? Watch the brothers maneuver flatbreads into a huge hot oven, then retrieve them with a flat wooden shovel. You can buy them fresh and hot in bags of five and take them home.
