Island Cafe - Windsor

Lebanese Food, we had the shawarma sandwiches. They were nice and hot, piled with meat. Not your standard dry mostly veggies. After we ate, my car would not start. Owner and employee helped keep the family inside while we worked on the issues. Coming in...from Detroit just for a day in Windsor, Ontario was truly saved by these kind and helpful people. My family is eternally grateful.

I've never had Lebanese cuisine before, so I decided to order some when I was in Windsor with my wife. I ordered the Chicken Shawarma and Ground Beef and Hummus. The Shawarma came with either fries or rice, and I got the fries. The fries...were crisp and hadn't sat under a heat lamp at all. The shawarma was magnificent and super-flavorful. It was a portion big enough for two and came with freshly sliced tomato and onion, freshly ground parsley, and a container of sharp, superbly garlicy tzatziki. The ground beef and hummus was equally fantastic. It was big, too, and I got a second meal out of it. It came with a side of more freshly sliced tomato and onion, ground parsley, and even some delightfully citrusy red slaw. The big surprise, however, was the inclusion of four baked-that-day pitas, which were sublimely chewy and were the perfect compliment for the beef and hummus. I had to call them and tell them how great they were, and they were extremely thankful in their broken English. Anytime I'm in Windsor, I'll be calling them. They're right downtown on Wyandotte, and their delivery was fast and friendly to my hotel. Can't recommend them enough. Call them today! YUM!

Unfortunately, this is the closest Coney Island to me and I've been forced to give them business on my lazier days My daughter loves this place.

One rainy Friday evening, I was helplessly charmed by the faded painting of a giant smiling hot dog casually lounging on a hot dog bun, covered in mustard

This place is about as typical Detroit as you can get.
