Tap In To Go: Our Story

In the heart of Warren, Michigan, a delightful culinary revolution has taken place, and it’s all thanks to two young men with a shared passion for traditional Mediterranean cuisine. John and Odey, two dedicated food enthusiasts, have transformed their dream into reality with the opening of “Tap In To Go,” a restaurant that’s not only serving authentic Mediterranean flavors but also winning the hearts of the diverse metro Detroit community. 

A Love for Shawarma Abroad 

John and Odey share a common background, having grown up in regions where Mediterranean cuisine, and in particular, shawarma, was a daily delight. Their passion for this flavorful, time-honored dish was kindled in the bustling streets of the Middle East. The art of marinating succulent meats with an array of spices, slow-roasting them on a vertical rotisserie, and serving them in a variety of mouthwatering forms, such as sandwiches, wraps, and bowls, left an indelible mark on both of them. 

Their Culinary Journey to the US 

Driven by a desire to share their love for Mediterranean cuisine and a burning ambition to recreate the authentic flavors of shawarma, John and Odey embarked on a culinary journey that led them to the United States. They decided to bring their culinary skills and their deep appreciation for the rich heritage of Mediterranean food to Warren, Michigan, a city renowned for its diverse community.
