Jarasa Kabob - Jefferson Park — one of Jefferson Park's strongest middle eastern spots. The service is both welcoming and well-informed. Dasha Gardinant: "The meats were cooked perfectly, super juicy and tender" [$$]

🌱Vegan & vegetarian friendly — real options, not one sad pasta.

Absolutely loved this place . This quick serve restaurant goes above and beyond with hospitality. . Not only were we greeted with such kind smiles but we were given some complimentary lentil soup to taste while we made our decisions. He shared with us the lentil soup is his mother’s recipe and I felt so special to have tasted her recipe . The food was so fresh and all the meat was so juicy and delicious. All of the entrees came with salad and spread option and sauces . Me being a girl I had so much difficulty deciding which sauce to try . The man gave me a little of each to try . So sweet . We ordered the mix grill and it was enough for us to enjoy at the restaurant and some more for later too .I really enjoyed this place for its freshness , kind staffed , and affordability. I plan to be back again soon .

Wow! I KEPT forgetting to post about this place, but I went 3 times in their first opening week. The food is THAT good and I think it’s a perfect addition to the neighborhood. Sometimes they give little lentil soup samples too. The owners are nice and welcoming. They cleaned it up nice from what it was before and lots of seating. They have some awesome lunch specials as well during the week that are great must have deals!

Amazing food and ALWAYS fresh. Their catering trays were fantastic also and fed 8 people for only 180 dollars. All of my friends asked me where I got it from, so they were impressed as well. I probably eat out from here once or every other week, it’s seriously that good!!!

Had a wonderful experience at Jarsa Kabob! A special thanks to Saeed for his outstanding customer service. He was incredibly gracious, welcoming, and attentive throughout our visit. His friendly attitude and excellent service made the meal even more enjoyable. Great food and exceptional hospitality—I highly recommend this place!

Veggie sampler is super tasty. Also loved the spicy rice. The fluffy pita bread was a great compliment to the meal!
