Adonis Restaurant and Banquet

Anything you’ve ever known or heard about the restaurant named Adonis needs to be thrown out. They’ve been opened, closed and reopened a few times over the years. They have reopened again with a new crew. I think finally someone has figured it out. Cleaned up the inside with some majors changes. This place is HUGE and can easily seat big groups comfortably.
Fatoosh is perfect. The deboned chicken was excellent!

Beautiful place, the food was good. I heard bad things but I guess they are under new management. The salad was fresh and the dressing was delicious. The chicken was good and the mushroom sauce was perfect. Keep up the good work.

A lot of shady people there. I went to party with my friends and it was really uncomfortable. The food was cold and horrible. The staff had an attitude with me.
My friend got sick the day after the party!!!
It’s not my favorite place.

The first reviewer, Krupa U, gave a pretty spot on review of this place. I agree with her totally. One small correction — the $ 10/​person cover charge I believe is only on Saturday nights. So perhaps enjoying this place on a Friday night is more cost effective. However I believe that Saturday night has the most over the top entertainment after 11pm (belly dancer, live singers, music, drummers, circle dancing, etc.) I am not sure if they bring out the whole enchilada like that on a Friday night.
All in all great place. It’s also the only alcohol serving hookah place I’ve seen in metro Detroit. However the lack of competition in that department is probably why there are no drink specials and the drinks are a little steep. Cranberry Vodkas that you can barely taste the vodka in — cost $ 7 – 8. That’s a bit steep for a hookah place. I think $ 4 – 5 would be a more fair price.
All in all, this is a live entertainment, hookah, dinner and cocktails lounge that during the peak hours will definitely impress your guests. Pricing is a bit steep for this premium experience so order items cautiously. Booths along the walls are comfortable and feel very VIP, but patrons with booths are sort of expected to rack up bills in the triple digits.

Located on Michigan Ave., Adonis Restaurant and Nightclub is definitely a hidden Arabian gem. This isn’t your typical fri/​sat night dinner/​dancing experience, with hookah, food, belly dancers, and live musicians/​singers, and THE ONLY HOOKAH PLACE I KNOW OF THAT SERVES ALCOHOLIC DRINKS… it’s much more than that…
Definitely call to make reservations (I recommend going with a group of 4 or more, it’s more fun that way; with a bigger party you can request a booth which is more comfortable and relaxing).
The show starts at 11 with a belly dancer for the first 30 min, she does a variety of songs and makes her way through the room, dancing near each table. They also have live musicians/​singers, playing traditional Arabic songs. A drummer comes on stage, invoking the crowd to come in a circle dance on the main floor, which is very exciting to see and to join in on since the steps are easy. They have open floor dancing as well.
Order a regular hookah tower for $ 16.99 and $ 6.99 for refills (they have other hookah towers for slightly higher prices). Their menu has lots of good Arabic choices, but if you’re going with a group they also have large combo platters… and when i say large i mean large… coffee table-​top size platters with chicken, lamb, hommous, tabouli, fattoosh, pita, etc.
My only gripe about this place is that they have a $ 10 cover charge per person… They already have infalted drink, hookah and food prices, so I don’t see why they should have a cover charge.
But it’s definitely an experience so I recommend you try it out at least once.
