Neehee's Indian Street Food
Categories: Indian, Vegetarian
Can I just say how extremely excited I am to have a restaurant like Neehee's so close to where I live/work/play?! This is truly a gem and I know I will be going back here again and again.
There are times when I crave Indian food but my hubby is not always on the same page. Neehee's makes it so I can get my fix anytime I want - in & out...street food. Now I don't have to wait until he's in the mood - hurray!
I have so much to learn about what they have to offer. My first visit I tried the #12 - Aloo Tikki (2 pc). It was pan fried potato patties topped with chutneys, yogurt, onions and a little cilantro. It was so incredibly flavorable. I was lost at first bite. It had just the right amount of heat - the kinds that makes your mouth tingle and then subsides but yet you savor it for the next few hours.
Oh, and it's extremely affordable. My lunch only came to $4 + change. I'm keeping a "master menu" so I can work my way through it and try all sorts of new things.
Neehee's: Thank you thank you thank you for landing in Canton!

If you are looking for something more than just the usual Detroit Area Coney Breakfast, this is the place to go. The menu has so many choices addressing anyone's particular tastes. You will not be disappointed if you are looking to change up your routine and seek a little something different. They have unique omlettes, pancakes, french toast and any many many other kinds of breakfasty/brunch treats. Their specials are usually incredible.
This morning I had the breakfast tostada that was built upon a bed of hash browns with a corn tortilla followed by a refried beans, chorizo, roasted corn, black beans, jalepenos and chiles. Topped with a scrambled egg and then a nice poblano salsa. Delicious. Hearty. Enough for lunch/snack leftovers.
Glad to now have this as one of our go-to breakfast-out options. Just wish they served mimosas. Then life would be really good!

Because so many other reviews are dead on about how good the food is, I will try to add something a little different.
It was a beautiful summer day and we satoutside at a small bistro table, got served wonderful food, and had an incredible (catch up with an old friend) conversation - for as long as we liked. The best part was the peole watching...Ann Arbor at it's finest. It was like sitting front row at a parade of diverse, creative, interesting people. So go here to kick back, relax, sit outside, enjoy great food and people watch. It will make your day.
BTW - check out the Robot Supply & Repair store next door. Very cool. Awesome tee's.

Yay! The Northville Farmers market is now open. I am a big fan of that market, but I have to admit, any local market will do. Just walking around, checking out the local offerings - it's all good.
Northville is located just outside downtown in a lot across from the racetrack. It's sometimes crazy to get in/out of the parking area, but patience is a virtue. There is almost always a spot or two in the back. I refuse to park across the street - who wants to lug a flat of plants all that way? I'm a dropper....but a few things, drop them off at the car....go back for more!
The market is just about the right size...not too small (bigger than Plymouth) and not too big (smaller than Pontiac). It's 100% outdoors, so weather is a huge factor in when I'll visit. They have a good variety of vendors. Bakeries, fruit/veggie growers, plants, herbs, shrubs, organic produce & food, some jewelry and soaps. There are food vendors too, though I very rarely indulge (kettle corn, almonds, lemonade).
Hours are 8-3pm on Thursdays.

It's planting season here in MI and if you are looking for a good assortment of trees and bushes - this is the place to go! Yes, they have annuals (usual stuff) and perennials (usual stuff) but I hit Randazzo's up in the springtime for bushes, shrubs and trees. Not only do they have an excellent selection, and multiple varieties, the plants are usually in very good health and offered at decent prices.
In the past two years I have bought: Purple Sand Cherry, Red Twig Dog Wood, Black Lace Elderberry, Snowball Viburnum, Holly, and multiple other shrubs whose names escape me. The trees are equally impressive and reasonably priced.
Early in the season I was able to score gallon sized perennials for $3.50! Spiderwort, daisies, and 3 different kinds of hostas.
They may not have everything, but the sure have a lot of stuff that makes me smile.

I love love love this place. Do not try to go here on the weekend though - only go during the week (preferably during the day). The prices here are sooo reasonable - I'm always astonished when I can get out of there with only using the $20 in my pocket and have food for the entire week. Occasionally they will not have something I need (like bean sprouts or cilantro) but usually they do. And when you pay $2 for cilantro at a grocery store and .39 cents here - it's worth the hit or miss.
Last Friday, when every other place was packed to the gills (Playoffs!) we found ourselves headed to Buddy's. Luckily we were able to get a seat and prompt service.
We tried the Detroiter pizza - it was fantastic. Nothing too elaborate...it had a basil tomato sauce with pepperoni and brick cheese, then topped with parmesan and baked. Simple but oh-so-good. I'd highly recommend it.
It's nice to have a place where you can rely on getting a seat and consistent food. Yay for Buddy's.

There's just something about Dino's. It's comfortable. It's friendly. The food seems good. I've had the Portobella sandwich twice, and both times it was delish. You've got to applaud consistency.
We were there on a Tuesday night - "open mic night" and the 2 person band wasn't bad. They played Hiatt, Stones, and other folksy/rock stuff. A young budding comedian took the stage for a few minutes - and while it wasn't really my kind of comedy, I give him a ton of credit for trying..."you go Man!"
Tuesday also brought 1/2 off bottles of wine and $5 apps. The sliders were very good! As well as the roasted garlic platter. You could make an entire meal out of the appetizers alone. I *heart* a good happy hour...we'll be going back!

Don't go here. The staff is too busy to help you appropriately. They are not very knowledgeable and have terrible customer service skills. When you are planning on spending $$$ COIN on camera equipment you should at least be treated professionally and with courtesy.
I will be buying all my stuff online for now on. Too bad. I'd prefer to help out a storefront and give my support locally.

I hate to write a sub-par review for a local joint, but our experience was just so-so. I wish it were better.
We had the chicken/lettuce wraps and they 90% veggies & sauce and 10% chicken. Fairly flavorless. Served with extremely (dripping) wet head lettuce. Pass on this next time.
K had the General Tso that was pretty good. But just ok. I had the szechuan noodles with chicken (which our server could not describe). We both ordered medium and they were wimpy, at best. The noodle dish was basically a stir fry with a lot of sauce over some toasted noodles. Minimal flavor, unfortunately.
Besides the fact that the dishes were so-so, the server didn't have any knowledge about the beers available or how to describe the dishes. The fact that my plate had a very large chip in it, didn't help.
Not so sure we'll be returning. I really wanted to try some more exotic things, but if the "norm" isn't compelling, I'm not sure I'd venture out.

The menu was the old menu, and according to the waitress they are changing it, soon...however I doubt that there could be any improvement as the overall quality of food is bad.
It was crowded, but we could get a seat (booth with a TV playing the World Series) easily enough. The service was OK. It is just that the food, the atmosphere and the smoking made it an extremely unenjoyable experience.
I agree that it's a shame that it didn't get upgraded, have a new menu and better food. We pass by it all the time and will have to continue to do so. Bummer.
