Wonderful spot for dinner! One of the best in Detroit. We had such a nice elegant meal here. We sat in one of the booths and it was great. All the food was wonderfully prepared. The oysters and octopus were incredible. The kale salad and entrees were also great. The service was great, attentive but we didn’t feel rushed.

I had gone for date night with my husband, the service was so good & smooth. We ordered calamari , zucchini fritters for appetizers. We were recommended today’s special Ravioli stuffed with mushroom , which was mouth watering . It was the best ravioli we had till date. Ordered a cocktail – which had white rum , forgot the name of it . It was just amazing . We took Trileches cake as takeaway. Overall really happy with the place , will surely visit again to try out other food menu and most importantly the cocktails ❤️

Classy restaurant in downtown Detroit. Albanian / Serbian and other Mediterranean flavored menu is not one to forget.

The flavors were popping in my mouth an hour after I finished!! Everything I ate was so good. Our host Ride was well informed about the menu and made excellent recommendations and took very good care of us. Whoever was bar tending made me the most delicious dirty martini. We split the Sable Fish and Prawns. CHEF’S KISS !! I can’t wait to go back again!!

This is the cornerstone of fine dining. The menu is excellent. I really enjoy the lamb and beef. However, the prawns and seafood is also great.

This is the ultimate date place. When you walk in you can tell the place is perfect for a date. The lighting is low, the music is a mix of 2000s r&b, the seating gives you a little privacy if you pick the booths or a little visibility if you pick the window seat and want to show off your date. Additionally, there is space downstairs but we didn’t get a chance to see it. We were sat immediately, the hostesses were incredibly friendly as well as the waitress. The waitress cracked jokes, gave great food recommendations, and came and checked on us often. She made the experience welcoming without being annoying. The food was good but not mind blowing. We had the seared octopus, seared manouri cheese, scallops, black seabass crudo, fresh bread and the off the menu black truffle ravioli. The ravioli and the homemade bread stole the show. Seriously, the bread was addictive and mixed with the black truffle sauce…… man….. We finished with the dark chocolate fudge torte. This thing has edible gold on it. Make sure to share because the flavor is really rich. All in all I say this is one of my favorite places in Detroit. Definitely coming back.

Definitely coming back here! The restaurant is beautifully designed, delicious food, and some of the best service we have had in a very long time. We ordered the lamb chops, filet, eggplant toast and maitake mushrooms for appetizers (incredible!)

Wow. Where do I start? The ambiance, the design or the absolutely mouth watering food? I wish I could give Besa 10 stars. The beef tartar was one of the best I ever had. The pulled lamb shoulder , and the double cut lamb chops were so carefully cooked with incredible flavor combination. Last but not least – the ricotta ravioli with table-side shaved black truffle. In one word – OMG!
