While much of Dearborn’s food scene helms from Lebanon or elsewhere in the Levant region, Sheeba’s serves Yemeni cuisine. The traditional recipes have been passed down for generations, and are served in a cozy, inviting restaurant great for families or date nights. Make sure to try maraq, a stew of mixed vegetables in a stoneware pot, topped with fenugreek froth and a mixture of peppers, tomatoes, and herbs called Sahawiq.

Legendary James Beard-approved banquet hall Al-Ameer is the go-to place for shawarma, stuffed lamb, and other classics, but it’s hardly the only game in a town that hosts New Yasmeen Bakery -- come for the fried kibbeh, stay for the cannoli -- and Yemeni destination Sheeba, plus the sprawling Dearborn Meat Market, which offers one-stop shopping for all things halal. But Dearborn pulls its weight beyond falafel, with classic, no-frills Miller's Bar offering one of the state’s best burgers, a solid Coney contribution in Joe’s Top Dog, Italian feasts at Giulo & Sons, and a pair of Latin American delights in M Cantina and Frida. And, just in case you’re wondering, yes, there’s a Buddy’s Pizza there, too.
