“We ordered to go.”
We ordered to go. I ordered the chicken tagine and falafel. The photo shows my second day serving of chicken, carrots and potatoes and it’s so well seasoned and tasty that I paused eating to write this review. It’s chef’s kiss.

“Traveled all the way to Chicago to try this place.”
Traveled all the way to Chicago to try this place! I have not eaten there but have ordered to-go many times! I am French and it is rare to find a place that makes and sells Merguez. The last time I have had some was in Morocco about 6-7 years ago and in the US, it has been decades. Zebda's Merguez slap. Very nostalgic and delicious. PS: yes they are that red! But they are very good! Photos: 1 - indoor menu as of July 2025 2 - Merguez Sandwich

We ordered the meatballs tagine and lamb shank — so flavorful, rich in spices and aroma. They went perfectly with the warm bread. Even the side salads and the olive oil and sesame dressings were great. The gravy from the dishes were so rich and comforting. We also took some dessert home — definitely worth trying. Highly recommend! Great flavors and fair prices.

The food taste really good. I had lamb tadjin. It was really tasty and the meat was cooked very well. I loved “kesra bread”. My friend had salmon with rice and he loved it too.
