Anwar Makkah Bakery And Grocery at 16205 W Warren Ave brings the flavors of an authentic Iraqi bakery and grocery to Detroit, with a menu centered on traditional breads, pastries, sweets, and savory Middle Eastern favorites. Current menu listings and recent customer feedback highlight Iraqi Kahi, baklava, ka'ak, samoon bread, falafel sandwiches, Zenoud El Sit, mixed cookies, and other freshly baked specialties. The bakery is especially praised for soft, fresh Iraqi bread and rich pastries, with Kahi paired with Iraqi clotted cream, or ghamer, standing out as a traditional favorite. Prices are generally described as reasonable and competitive, making the bakery appealing for everyday purchases as well as larger boxes of sweets or bread for sharing. Fresh baking gives the breads a tender texture, while desserts balance crisp pastry layers with creamy or syrupy sweetness. Vegetarian-friendly choices such as falafel, breads, and several sweets are available, although diners with gluten sensitivities should confirm ingredients directly because wheat-based baking is central to the menu. The selection works particularly well for breakfast, a quick lunch, family snacks, takeout, or group gatherings, with both savory and sweet choices offering plenty of variety.
