No doubt, it’s the best dessert down here!
I came all the way from Seattle to try it! I really recommend this Bakery.
Shatila Bakery is #1 in sweet and ice cream. You should try all first then COME to Shatila to realize the difference! How much I eat? I feel nothing wrong with my stomach. It is all healthy and most delicious!
Beautiful, clean, friendly establishment! Their ice cream was made in heaven, best I've ever tried and I hate things like apricot and pistachios bit when they put it in ice cream I melted! Just hate they didn't allow me to sample something that they had enough of to let me sample but other than great place. Typical Middle Eastern pastries and then some!
This place is amazing. I had a hard time selecting what delight I wanted. Left with two.
Has a great selection of middle Eastern and French desserts. I think the besk baklava around. There is also an ice cream and fruit juice counter which provides fresh and excellent choices. It is hard to just buy one quart of the many great flavors.
Super fancy Lebanese bakery. They carry all types of Lebanese sweets French pastries ice cream and some Savory dishes. Place is always busy, and when the locals go there you know you can trust the place. And this place is lots of locals.
It is the best place to get cakes for any of the events at very reasonable price. They have a large variety of flavours, tarts, pastries etc. The staff members are very polite. Clean and good dine-in space.
Sweets are perfectly made. Sweetly balanced.
Employees are most helpful.
No pressure to sell you what you don't want.
Mona really make me want to come back due to her professional manners.
The manager Hussein, went beyond his duties to accommodate our order through packing it and freezing it for long trip back home.
Thanks Shatila, it was a pleasure doing business with you.
Will be back soon.
Baklava was literally 120% sugar, no other taste. Don't get anything with a cream filling because it's sour. The only reason I gave it two stars instead of one is because of the atmosphere there and I have yet to try the cakes. Hopefully they won't disappoint me.
Great middle Eastern sweets and cafe. They also ship their products pretty much anywhere. Not home made or your grandma's recipe, but still good and consistent. Also a nice cafe to sit in and enjoy.
Came her a couple times on a recent visit. The place was quite busy both times, but service was quick. The coconut ice cream was tasty. All the pastries look very good, but some members of our group said the flavors were just so-so depending on the items ordered. Definitely worth a visit.
A must-visit when in Detroit take a little side trip to Shatila's. I've been several times, and enjoy the friendly staff and over the top selections of baklava and pastries. Finally I managed to try the ice cream - pretty good. I came alone, but no one inside seemed to care that my skin wasn't as "tanned" as most of the customers. Was helped in selecting a tray of items to take home, mentioned the kind of things I liked and the man behind the counter carefully selected and packed things that were just right for me. I've seen a few negative comments here, if they are microwaving on Styrofoam they should stop, otherwise I love this place.
PLEASE STOP USING STYROFOAM PLATES.. even worse, stop microwaving those plates. And when one asks for a glass plate, you are ridiculed by the attendant and her boss. Shame on you Shatila. I have been a customer for 16 years. I just don't want to feed my child microwaved plastic. You owe that to me as a customer. and You need to be more environmentally aware and health conscious.
The only reason why I am writing this review is because I care about the state of all the middle eastern stores in the area. Their reputation is our reputation. I want to be able to bring my kids and their kids to these places and feel like they are reflecting the best of what our culture offers.
I am always rushed. There must be a friendly and efficient way of getting the volumes of people through. Especially when I have guest whom I'm trying to introduce to my beloved culture. It just seemed that questions were not welcome. The place is loud like a market place, as opposed to a nice bakery/dessert cafe.
Additionally, I really don't think the desserts are as authentic as we all want to believe. They are authentic enough for being 7000 miles away from home. But better effort should be made to stay up to date with the quality and methods that are used in Lebanon and Syria. Settling with the status quo is not enough.
I will remove / update this review if my next visits to shatila are influenced with improvements. I will take my glass plate with me next time. and see what they have to say about that.
