Paul Hickman - Urban Ashes: Finally made it in and was not disappointed. We had the Chicken Chermoula w/Rice and the Lasagna Bolognese. Both were excellent. The chicken was incredibly tender and moist then add in the very tasty Chermoula sauce, WOW!We will be back very soon!

Advanced Technology: Great food, fantastic tastes, imaginative dishes and outstanding traditional dishes. But these people are so fearful they are still wearing Masks April 2023 and just dropped imposing their unscientific fears on their customers a week ago. Marxism is alive and well here.
king aj135: Very friendly face is very welcoming, spotless clean food is amazing. Taste is just like mom‘s cooking when you were thousands of miles away from mom.
Barry Ryder: Nice new discoveryExcellent food in generalThe best Lentil soupAnd what more can I say butTahini Hot Chocolate with whipped creamOh and gelato (ie tiramisù)Something about birthday flavor
Kaila Greatness Price: I went to El Harissa with my cousins today and we loved the dinner entrees and the gelato flavors! I LOVE the Rosewater Baklava and Mango sorbetto flavors! I will be back to try other flavors!
Michael Tullis: I’m a huge fan of their flavors. The Carthage Salad includes some yummies like fig, pomegranate seeds, olives, and what I expect is a balsamic vinaigrette. Their lasagna bolognese is a go to for me. Yum yum yum…
cat cat: Amazing spot!!! the staff is super nice and more than happy to tell you about the dishes, the restaurant itself, and make recommendations. you can tell they really love the food they make! all the items are premade daily and packaged in deli containers but they will heat and plate items for dining in. We had the merguez meatballs with couscous, roasted cauliflower, the fish pie, toum (garlic spread) with the softest fresh pita, rice pudding and Turkish coffee and mint tea. literally everything is fantastic and I wish I was local to go back and try other things soon!the market is also super cute, selling spices, oils, canned fish etc and the store is full of beautiful well cared for plants. 🤗
Elizabeth Shafto: To all of you who live in Ann Arbor, I am SO jealous. If you are a local and you haven’t visited El Harissa yet…you must!!! Everything is made from scratch, with all the love that comes from a small family business. The market and restaurant is simple and charming. The food was absolutely amazing. The hummus and whipped feta blanco was smooth and flavorful. We had the lasagna verde, Merguez meatballs and the Maghrebi Harissa Chili. All three were fantastic, but the chili just made my night! My husband couldn’t stop talking about the meatballs. The black tea and saffron rice pudding was a fun twist from the your usual rice pudding, loved it. The baklava rose gelato was incredible. We also had their mint tea and tahini hot chocolate. Pita bread is soft and fluffy, made from scratch. At the end of the meal we purchased several hard to find spices and ingredients from their market. El Harissa will certainly become a permanent stop on our trips through Michigan.
Michael Christensen: Outstanding service - explained any dish with detail. Great food - offered the meatballs and different vegetarian dishes and they were amazing. Definitely stop into this homey feeling restaurant.Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More
Leanne Ma: Food is really good with lots of options that are both familiar and not. I love that they rate the sustainability of each of their menu items on a scale. The little market is really fun to browse through. Be aware that this is deli counter service only but they will heat your food up for you if you request it. No indoor seating. Gelato is probably the best I've ever had with really unique flavor options! Counter service was really great, staff was super helpful and nice.
Jamie Gallupe: Food is delicious and it’s so nice to have very quick meals available when you’re on the go. They’re so nice here and the food feels so comforting. Get the garlic dip, it’s bonkers.
Evan McLean: Great little place. The food is excellent and the staff was really friendly. The ice cream they have also has a ton of unique flavors. Definitely a spot to check out!Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More
Katrina Fitzpatrick: Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5Recommended dishes Saffron Rice, Lentil Soup Hummus, Merguez Meatballs and Roasted Cauliflower, Greek SaladsMore
Stephanie Brooks: Got to eat El Harissa for the first time at the Michigan League! The flavors were out of this world. The presentation was beautiful. Can’t wait to check out the market and cafe!

Bon Appetit Cuisine: what do users think?
Tatiana Worthy: I came here because someone said they serve delicious food + I really wanted to taste more African food at a new place.I ordered Grilled Tilapia with plantains and red rice, Fataya, and soda.I really loved it! Everything tasted good. My favorite? Definitely the fish. The sauces had nice flavors too.Very quiet + nice place. Deserves more customers honestly. The man at the counter seemed friendly :)I'd recommend eating here - especially for students who want to eat new foods outside of campus.Parking: Parking spaces: open small areas in front / around the building
MJ Dickerson: My partner got tired of the on-campus options. So, we decided to find somewhere local. Bon Appetit Cuisine is a Black, Family-owned Small restaurant here in Ypsilanti.THIS IS SOME OF THE BEST FOOD I'VE TASTED IN YEARS! Pricey, but worth it. This family deserves all the traction and all the support of EMU and surrounding areas. SPEAKING OF EMU, They give 10% discounts to ALL students on all entres. Much love and will be my number 1 place to go and eat out from now on.Kid-friendliness: The owner has kids of themselves and is extremely friendly.

Ray Bas: Had the whole red snapper. It was perfectly marinated and cooked with an amazing side of fried plantains.

Aïsha K Traore: So delicious! Great place. Great customers service. One if j’y favorite resto.
Cj Fire: Only reason they don't have a 5 star is because of the parking lot. The fataya as well as the dipping sauce.. those two things are everything to me. I find myself thinking about those pretty often. All the food is always hot. Def will keep coming back.

Loved the jerk chicken and Lamb stew, I was mistakenly given white rice in my order ( which they graciously corrected ) but even that was delicious lol everyone can't make perfect white rice! I was happy to find and support this gem in Ypsilanti.

J C: It’s so sad that the food was good but their service & vibe was horrible 😮‍💨We’re never coming back🙅🏻‍♀️Recommended dishes Doro Wat, Vegetarian Feast, Spicy Beef …More
Robert Moore: Vegetarian feast is great. It also contains no eggs or dairy (or, I assume, honey) so it is vegan as well.
Chris Savage: One of my favorite places on earth. I could eat their food every single day and never grow tired of itVegetarian options: Excellent choice for vegans and vegetarians. Many options to pick from with lots of variety. Also good choices for meat eaters
David Dugger: In Ann Arbor institution that I’ve kept going back to for nearly 35 years. The place is not changed at all and the food remains excellent.
Angela: A bit of a letdown after hearing about this place for years… the food is good, but not as flavorful as we would have liked. The injera was cold. We did enjoy the customer service, but with the price point I don’t really see a reason to come back.
Gravy, Gravy Crockett (King of the food frontier): Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5Recommended dishes Ethiopian BreadMore
Phil L: Enjoyed the vegetarian feast with all of the meats added. Next time, I will skip the lamb. It's just not my thing. Service started out good, but the busier it got, the harder it was to get drink refills, etc. All in all, a good experience but not deserving of 5 stars this time. Will update when dining here again.Vegetarian options: The vegetarian feast can not be beat. Meatatarians can enjoy meats on the side.
Shailesh Saigal: I often overstuffed myself when I come to this restaurant and i'm overly satisfied. I know gluttony is a sin but I really don't care when it comes to this restaurantFood: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More
