    It was our first time dining at Besa. My husband is a vegetarian and there were many options for him to choose from. Overall the food, service and atmosphere was amazing. We will definitely be going back.

    Besa is a date night favorite for us but our experience last night was the best we’ve had! Our server Alyssa was super attentive, gave great recommendations for food and drink, and overall made our night so special. She even had the kitchen split the courses when playing so we could share. The food and drinks were amazing, the dining room setup feels intimate like you’re having a private meal, and the ambiance is great. Highly recommend!

    Besa is outstanding. The staff is always paying attention, the food is always on point, and the location makes a night out feel like a night out.

    Waited over an hour for our dinner the salad was said to be coming after 45 min. When the food did finally come it was not even lukewarm. The waiter we came to learn was a manager and he did comp the bill as a note there was 2 of us in our party and it was a birthday dinner at that. Just poor poor service and lackluster food.

    I had a really good time dining at BESA. This restaurant is one of the best dining in Detroit. It was outstanding, from the aesthetics , attentive staff, succulent food and perfect music! My waiter, Mr Red-just soft spoken and polite man, introduced me to the menu and gave me his recommendations and THOSE WERE THE BEST!! Mouthwatering meals. He was kind enough to take me lots of pictures as well. My favorite meal was the appetizer lamb shoulder dish, the main course- salmon dish! I just wish they have more options for mocktails ! Nonetheless, I will definitely come back to this BESA restaurant!! Thank you BESA,Mr Red in Particular for making my dining experience more enjoyable!
