Freshness guaranteed in every aisle, and on every plate.

Why Dream

Three things we do every day.

  1. Real charcoal

    Kabobs, tikka, liver and chicken go over live charcoal, not a flat-top. Fish too, cooked over a live fire and served with rice and fresh bread.

  2. Our own spice mix

    Every kabob and tikka is marinated in Dream's in-house spices, then served the classic way with pita, onions and torshy pickles.

  3. A whole market behind us

    Produce, bulk nuts, spices and a brick-oven bakery are steps away in Dream Market, so the kitchen never runs short of fresh ingredients.

Detroit Free Press Lyndsay C. Green, April 2026

“The feel of a modern industrial banquet hall with chandeliers overhead and exposed ceilings.”
