Detroit’s dining scene just lost a true legend. Sameer Eid, the heart and soul behind Phoenicia in Birmingham, has passed away at 85. For over 50 years, Eid poured his passion into every detail of his restaurant, making it a beloved spot for locals, celebrities, and even presidents. His commitment to authentic Lebanese flavors and warm hospitality set a standard that shaped metro Detroit’s food culture. Now, his son Samy is carrying on the tradition.
