“Wow best food I’ve ever had in the USA, so fresh and healthy - not to be missed! 😆”
“Fast and healthy Mediterranean food right in the theater district. Being vegan I went with the falafel bowl over rice and lettuce. Like the now defunct Maoz chain you can ask for as much of all the sides as you want included in the price! Along with the spicy falafel (it’s got a nice kick and isn’t greasy at all) there’s cabbage, pickles, shredded carrots and cucumbers, corn salad, red onions, lettuce, humus, babaganoush…. all included! Big enough for two meals it really hit the spot. They’ve also got chicken and steak, for which I can’t vouch, but the veg options are great.”
“Cuisine: J’ai trouvé ça vraiment bon et copieux. Le fait de pouvoir choisir ces ingrédients est un gros plus (5/5) Service: Des gens très sympas et qui donnent de bons conseils (5/5) Ambiance: Décoration plutôt sympa qui match totalement avec la vibe du lieu. Puis, j’aime beaucoup la vue sur l’extérieur (5/5) Prix: Plutôt bon prix (5/5)”
“The best of the downtown Mediterranean style spots. Their hummus is actually very good. Chicken schwarma is always fresh. Compared to halal guys or naf naf its much fresher and actually more food.”
“Still great food. Fresh, satisfying, pretty healthy yet filling. More locations now.”
“The Chicken Shawarma was awesome! 10/10 would recommend. Messy but delicious.”
“Best Mediterranean spot in the city! The ladies at this location are so friendly, always put a smile on my face🥹”
“Fast service and good portions. Perfect for a quick bite. I originally tried the location in Schaumburg which is now closed. It was so good to have it again!”
