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.
