Anita's Kitchen

For over 40 years, Anita’s Kitchen has dedicated itself to traditional Lebanese family recipes and gracious hospitality. With its flagship restaurant located in downtown Ferndale, Anita's Kitchen is consistently recognized by Hour Detroit and Detroit Metro Times as an award-winning restaurant. In 2018, proprietors Jen & Joe Wegrzyn introduced their first fast-casual concept, AKtakeaway, in Detroit's financial district. Offering "Old World traditions in a New World way," AKtakeaway provides healthy, convenient lunch to Detroit professionals, and at a great value! In late 2019, Anita's Kitchen opened its doors in downtown Lake Orion. The two-floor historic building dating back to the late 1800’s has been the perfect home for both the fast casual AKtakeaway concept (downstairs), and the relaxed, full service atmosphere of Anita’s Kitchen (upstairs). Just two months after the opening of the Lake Orion restaurant, Anita's Kitchen/ AKtakeaway debuted at DTW (Detroit Metro Airport). The addition of Anita’s Kitchen at DTW is part of a larger effort on behalf of partner company HMS Host to provide healthier airport dining options, with an emphasis on local Michigan businesses. With the addition of the Lake Orion and DTW locations, it becomes clear that Anita’s Kitchen is only looking ahead toward building the brand and its followers. The goal remains as true as ever; to introduce as many people as possible to the delicious and healthy flavors of Lebanon!
