“We had the Shepherd Salad 🥗 — just wow! You’d think the dates would dominate the flavor, but the tartness of the dressing 🍋 brought everything into this beautiful, balanced harmony. Sweet, tangy, fresh, and totally unexpected. Talya’s Bowls 🌿 is an absolute gem — highly recommend ✨”

“The shawarma bowl was delicious and the portion was very generous. The chicken was super fresh, juicy, and full of flavor. You could really taste the spices. I also got the Shepard salad and it was so good!! The veggies were all really crisp and fresh, which added a nice crunch to every bite. Everything tasted really clean and well put together. I will definitely get it again.”
“Talya’s Bowls serves up fresh, flavorful Mediterranean dishes in every bite. From shawarma to grape leaves, each bowl is packed with authentic taste and quality ingredients. A must-try for anyone craving wholesome, delicious food in Chicago.”
“Ordered the Zinger Chicken Bowl via UberEats. The selection was ideal, especially the array of toppings at no extra charge. Presentation was outstanding for the bowl, even for delivery food. It was packed- and I mean DENSE- with all of the veggies and toppings I had requested. It was worth being hungry for! I do regret adding the pickles, as I’m a texture person and the texture was a little funky for my preference in between the chunks of warm chicken and other toppings, so that was really the only thing I would change next time. It was still an excellent meal overall! I wish I could say the same for the lentil soup that came as a deal alongside the bowl; it was all liquid, and the flavor profile was a little lackluster. I wish they kept actual lentils instead of blending them down to a liquid consistency. I didn’t finish the cup, I maybe ate a couple of spoonfuls before deciding it just wasn’t for me. Otherwise, I really enjoyed my meal and will definitely order again!”
