Crema's Take

“This family-owned Ann Arbor gem has earned its stellar reputation as the go-to spot for authentic Middle Eastern cuisine, where regulars return for consistently exceptional shawarma, hummus, and housemade chai prepared fresh right before your eyes. The team remembers your name and your usual order, creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere that's perfect for lingering conversations with friends or bringing the whole family. Fair prices, generous portions, and that rare combination of care and authenticity make Star's Cafe worth any wait—locals have been coming back for years because the food and hospitality simply can't be found elsewhere in the area.”

I love this cafe SO MUCH!! I have had their chicken shawarma, hummus plate, chicken lemon rice soup (amazing), egg and feta shawarma, and their chai! Everything has been absolutely delicious and I can’t wait to try more. There are a few tables inside for sitting but whether I have chosen to eat in or get take out, I have not waited more than 20 mins for their fresh and yummy food!!

We have been regulars at Star’s Cafe for around 5 years now and I can hands down say it is the best Middle Eastern cuisine in the area. The remember your name, they remember your orders and preferences, the food is always fresh, hot, and delicious. Thank you Star’s Cafe family for always providing wonderful service and delicious food. We will be back time and time again!

Well worth the wait, and prices are fair for the amount of food you get. This isn't fast food, and that's ok. The wait isn't long either. You can see them cooking. They don't just have it all sitting around, or in a freezer waiting for a microwave. No, it is well made and tastes amazing. Generous portions too. That tells me they take pride in their food, as well as the care they take in how they put your order together. The taste is authentic too. The lentil soup is to die for. I love this kind of food and it's so good to find this place, and it's close to my house, so I may become a regular. Thank you.

This was the second time I had Star’s Cafe cater & it was just perfect. The humus & garlic sauce are out of this world. The beef and chicken shawarma are full flavor and cooked to perfection. The grape leaves are seasoned and delicious. The fattoush salad has an amazing dressing & crispy fresh pita chips. Wonderful owner & friendly staff! Highly recommend for catering or regular dining!

This is a family owned, authentic Middle Eastern Restaurant. The food is amazing, pricing is more than fair, and the people are nice. The kabobs and fatoush are great. Hands down my favorite would be the chicken shawerma wrap combo, pictured below. I stop and grab it even if I'm not hungry. It's that good! I also highly recommend the Baklava.
