Some noted
I arrived at 11:30 PM because Google Maps stated that you are open until midnight, but I was told the place was already closed.
Staff needs to improve communication skills.
Ordered for pickup. The receptionist girl was rude and needs to improve her customer service skills.

i have been searching for the shawarma i remember from my college days. this is the closest i have found in Chicago. Not as greasy as it could be but maybe that is a good thing. The lavash is crispy on the outside but the interior layers remain soft and pliable. They include a generous amount of chicken and french fries in the shawarma and the sauce is delicious. do recommend.
