That's on my 'next to try' list! Trying Layalina tonight.

Layalina and Mejana are both good and I’d call them more “authentic” than Lebanese Taverna, at least for the region. Still haven’t found anything to measure up to the places I used to frequent in Dearborn but that’s a tough bar to meet.

That seems to be what I can gather, I'm definitely trying Mejana next/later this coming week, once my pretentious FIL is no longer demanding our time. Finding something authentic in any city can definitely be a tough bar to meet.

If you haven’t had a chance to visit some of the places in Michigan you should—one of the largest Lebanese-American populations lives there.

I've been to Michigan before, but unfortunately not Detroit or Dearborn, I know there's a huge Lebanese-American population there.

Lots to see in the area if you want to make the trip!

Was just about to recommend Layalina. My Syrian friend really liked it.
