Dinner in Dearborn (middle eastern food)



While in the Detroit area in November, a co-worker (Adnan) from Michigan took us (Victor, Tatsuo and I) to eat dinner and ice cream in Dearborn, Michigan. Dearborn has a huge population of immigrants from the Middle East, so there are a lot of Middle Eastern Restaurants. The one we went to - Al Ameer - was Lebanese (I think) At Al Ameer we were served a huge whole fried fish which was very tasty - but it still had the head - which I had never actually seen before. (I didn't eat the head!) After we had eaten I was disappointed that I had not remembered to take a picture of it! The Shatila Bakery and Cafe where we had ice cream after dinner was absolutely beautiful inside - and they had some delicious ice cream. It was a very interesting trip because many of the signs there are in Arabic or other languages that i am not familiar with.
