CK Mediterranean Grill & Catering

Copy Link
Nestled between Campus Martius and Greektown you’ll find our first cheap eats shoutout. CK Mediterranean Grille brings an extensive menu with all the right on-a-budget points. Savor the authentic, steak shawarma or indulge the deep-fried, jalapeno-infused falafel before your next Greektown night out. [Photo]

The Golden Fleece

Copy Link
As much as Plaka's tends to take the cake for the late-night gyro cravings, the understated spot on the block (since 1971) goes to Golden Fleece. Just a few doors down, this dive-like Greek joint can hang with the rest of them. Go for the Greek with the gyro sandwich that guarantees to appease your cravings. Yamas! [Photo]

Green Dot Stables

Copy Link
For $3, go baffle your tastebuds with the Gyro (Tomato Slice & Mint Tzatziki) or Lamb Slider (Lamb Patty, Rosemary Hummus & Pickle). Round it out with a side of rosemary hummus & fried naan and you just might think you’re at Anita’s. [Photo]

Bucharest Grill

Copy Link
It's hard to think of any shawarma list without mentioning the city staple, Bucharest Grill. Expected to debut its 3rd location in Milwaukee-Junction this summer, Bucharest is eager to expand its empire of bargain shawarmas. For a five-spot or less, grab a tasty falafel wrap or beef shawarma on your way to the Slow Roll or a game at Comerica. [Photo]

Twisted Mitten

Copy Link
Keep an eye on the streets for this shawarma-dabbling food truck. Formerly Qais, The Twisted Mitten offers a (locally fueled) farm-to-table menu on the cheap. Track this truck down at Eastern Market for a crispy falafel dubbed “The Great Balls of Fire.” [Photo]

KouZina Greek Street Food

Copy Link
This snug, Main Street joint has only been around a few years, but has already finely tailored its craft. Watch them shave your choice of meat from the vertical rotisseries while you select freshly made toppings for your dish. Think a zesty, neighborhood-style Qdoba. Go snag their signature gyro, "The Bobby," and, oh, if your sweet tooth is kickin’ — there’s always more room for Baklava. [Photo]
This casual and friendly Dearborn favorite pulls out all of the stops to please the palate. Serving size is no issue here as plates will have you asking for a box. Shawarma, falafel, you name it, Hamido doesn’t disappoint. [Photo]

Our next cheap eats shoutout can please your appetite for next to nothing. Meat market turned restaurant, this Eastern Market staple knows how to whip together a mean shawarma. [Photo]

Harmonie Garden

Copy Link
Possibly boasting the most eclectic menu of our list, this neighborhood favorite loves to flip the script on everything Middle Eastern. The traditional falafel doesn’t stand a chance here with menu change-ups touting BBQ, stir fry, and burger combos. Right around the block from Wayne State, dirt cheap is the name of the game at Harmonie Garden. [Photo: Brenna Houck]
Boasting several Detroit locations, this mini-franchise is perfect for the Midtown hustle. While most of the menu can be pricey, the chicken shawarma wrap and falafel keep a low price-point for the quick lunchtime snack. [Photo]
