Love this place. Pricey, but fast, tasty, and worth it. When I'm hungry, I usually get an omg plate. When not so hungry, I'd go for the soup with a twist. I love getting a good portion with a variety of tasty options.

“I really enjoy the food, and there is always plenty of space to sit.”

I really enjoy the food, and there is always plenty of space to sit. They are vegetarian-friendly, and there are plenty of opportunities to customize the set combos. The tricky part about this location is that though their staff is always friendly, sometimes they are understaffed so you may have wait a while in line.

“Affordable tasty and probably healthy? Getting food is quick here, and their quantity is definitely...”

Affordable tasty and probably healthy? Getting food is quick here, and their quantity is definitely not bad for a quick lunch. Their falafel is weak though, it's pretty soggy and disintegrated in my hand. The flavor was okay, but it was a tad burnt on top of the lack of form. Otherwise the meal was solid.

“It's quick and people are friendly.”

It's quick and people are friendly. The food is just average however. It's not bad if you need a bite and want it to be on the healthy side. I would recommend the hummus, chickpea salad, farro, and steak. Do not recommend rice or baba or baked falafel. Husband recommends the Capri salad. But I didn't try it so cannot personally vouche.

“OMG there chicken kabobs were like from another planet good.”

OMG there chicken kabobs were like from another planet good! I am crazy about Evanston but the food here takes it up a notch. Also, if your on Keto like me they have this zucchini garlic salad thing they use as a base and seriously I hate veggies but I was happy with it.
