Some of the cultures that we love to celebrate with our cuisine come from various countries in the Middle East. The Halal restaurants in Dearborn are some of the best in the state.

Which flavors define Middle Eastern cuisine? The foods that originated in this region of the world are as diverse and exciting as the cultures that live right here in Dearborn. We’re a city proud of the people who make up our landscape. Many of our citizens originally hail from Middle Eastern countries like Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq, Syria and Palestine. When they settled in Dearborn, they brought with them their spices, cooking styles and incredible home-grown recipes.

Although TRIA offers inspired American cuisine, our menu draws its influence from the flavors that make up our community, especially from the Middle Eastern countries our beloved citizens immigrated from.

If you’re looking for the best Halal food in Dearborn, you don’t have to look far. The landscape is dotted with bakeries, restaurants and markets that are owned and operated by the proud ancestors of Middle Eastern immigrants.
