“If you order the lentil soup that's six dollars which I thought was a bit pricey that's why I'm only giving 4 stars best for the gyros bowl are any of the other meats like shawarma chicken or shawarma steak it's a bit expensive”
Great lunch spot on that river. Highly recommend ordering from their website or app and do pick up.
I personally thought this place was banging. Reasonably priced, especially for the area.
The best lentil soup I ever had. And all the toppings for my bowl were so fresh and tasty.
Nice view. Really nice shawarma.
Tried the falafel . Not very good. Lacked flavor and didn't have the crunch or flavor of authentic falafel.
Definitely feels like you’re paying more for the vibe/location than the food, which is really flavorless compared to other mediterranean/middle eastern spots downtown.

Well since I'm on the 4th floor and this is right in the same building I work at I decided to dine in for lunch since I forgot my lunch in the car which was a disappointment. I have their food before since every beginning of the month the firms or companies that share the same space have to have a Zoe app and I get to try last week Thursday their food it was decently good for Middle Eastern and Indian. Their lentil soup which also comes in spicy was decently good. I have the gyros as a party tray yesterday and it was also a meh ok. I kind of compare this to a Pita inn and a Chipotle although this is not Mexican. It has its unique approach the Middle Eastern making it more fast food like Chipotle and Pita inn put together. Service was actually pretty fast but has that ambience like I said of Pita Inn and Chipotle. If you order the lentil soup that's six dollars which I thought was a bit pricey that's why I'm only giving 4 stars best for the gyros bowl are any of the other meats like shawarma chicken or shawarma steak it's a bit expensive. At $13 what's the tax but I guess you got a lot.

Solid lunch spot in the heart of the loop, I ordered the chicken shawarma bowl and overall flavor was good and portion size was solid. Really great mediterranean flavors with good seasoned proteins. My only complaint was the individual taking my order spoke too quickly to understand so I had to clarify and re-ask what she stated. Overall a great spot new lunch spot right on wacker!

“I've been to this location a few times for lunch.”
I've been to this location a few times for lunch. Service is always friendly and welcoming. The food is okay but still too expensive for a full meal, but that's the normal for this area. Might come back in once in a while. When I can afford it.

Great lunch spot on that river. Highly recommend ordering from their website or app and do pick up. Much easier than waiting in line at lunch. You can still eat at the restaurant.

I personally thought this place was banging. Reasonably priced, especially for the area. Line was quick, staff were friendly, and the food was really good. Place was really clean too.

“One of my favorite places to get lunch downtown.”
One of my favorite places to get lunch downtown. Service is always quick and friendly, and the food is also top notch. What stands out compared to other Middle Eastern spots is the number of topping options they provide, so you can really customize your bowl to exactly how you like. The hot sauce is also tasty and spicy, so don't skip it if you like your bowls spicy.

Tried the falafel . Not very good. Lacked flavor and didn't have the crunch or flavor of authentic falafel. It's convenient to my work but still wishing there was a better place nearby.
