This restaurant has really good food but I ordered a chicken shawarma plate and they only gave me the meat.
Tried this place. Ordered chicken shawarma takeout and cracked it open 3 minutes later. Nothing was fresh. Food was cold.
If you’re thinking about eating here, bring gloves or wet wipes — you’ll need them.

“Overall, I would consider it a good place to eat, though not outstanding”
“great, refreshing, and satisfying meal.”
great, refreshing, and satisfying meal! ordered the chicken shawarma and the gyro plate and we were served quickly. the man at the counter who took our order was very nice. only note would be that the chicken was a tad dry, but everything else was pretty perfect. the hummus was a 10/10! plenty of seating available, and the dining area was kept very clean. parked on Damon street nearby which was free.

“Great spot for dinner.”
Great spot for dinner. The food came out fresh, the flavors were on point, and the service was warm without being pushy. Cozy atmosphere, fair prices, and an overall smooth experience. Would definitely come back.

My sister and I stopped by and ordered the chicken shawarma wrap (not pictured) and the falafel plate with a small classic hummus. Everything was delicious and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful! I would def recommend this place to anyone in the area wanting to try some Mediterranean cuisine! 10/10!

“If you ever are in the mood for some great home-cooked tasting food, this is the spot.”
If you ever are in the mood for some great home-cooked tasting food, this is the spot! And if you like grilled food, but don't feel like grilling, stop by Hummus Grill. Their chicken and kofta is amazingly seasoned (I oddly added the salad dressing to my chicken & kofta before, and it elevated the juiciness!) I just love this place, everything always tastes fresh and made with love!

“One of the best Mediterranean restaurants in Chicago.”
One of the best Mediterranean restaurants in Chicago. The lamb chops are my favorite. Quality food, good portions of protein, and very affordable prices

Wow. Holy cow, the place is so unassuming, the food is incredible. I have no doubt they’d do well as a larger full service restaurant. I’ve been in there a few times and always liked the kebabs. I had to order delivery the other day and picked the gyro sandwich + hummus. Despite being delivered in a normal amount of time it was still hot, not soggy, and the flavor was immaculate. They obviously are authentic, and love the food they make. Love having them in this neighborhood. UPDATE: I really don't want to dog on this place, because the food is still really tasty. I ordered takeout food, in my order was their $7 hummus appetizer. What I received was SUCH a small portion of hummus. I'm now remembering that this was the case the last time I ordered. They absolutely need to change this or lower the price of their Hummus to like maximum $2. Attached is a photo of their $7 Hummus appetizer next to $5 store bought Hummus. They even only filled this little cup half way. I order this hummus because I want leftovers. I had to get my money back on Uber. Please fix this.

“Great falafel and food, for me personally I have found the falafel taste from back home in Kuwait.”
Great falafel and food, for me personally I have found the falafel taste from back home in Kuwait. They taste similar if not better. And great Shawarma ,owners are super friendly.

“We ordered the Mixed Grill and the Kafta plates.”
We ordered the Mixed Grill and the Kafta plates! Both were really delicious and so fresh tasting. Everything was well seasoned and we all enjoyed it thoroughly! The hummus was especially good, you could definitely taste the tahini.The baklava was also good, didn't taste stale like a lot of baklava I've had in the past and wasn't too sweet. I will definitely be coming back!

“Great place with the BEST Hummus in the city, I try other places but not equal to the hummus from Hummus Grill.”
Great place with the BEST Hummus in the city, I try other places but not equal to the hummus from Hummus Grill. We had the chicken shawarma sandwich, it was delicious, of course we had a side order of hummus and that's how I discovered the flavor and texture. There are times when we compare, this time I didn't found a match for this one. Simple... the BEST, besides great service and atmosphere. Just like the terminator said... I'LL BE BACK
