“Their homemade Dubai chocolate was the best one I’ve tried, it’s super crunchy from the shredded phyllo dough, and just irresistible, so we got more to go”
I recently visited this restaurant and ordered a chicken kefta bowl with a few added veggies, along with a bottled water (since I didn’t notice any cups of water available).
We ordered 2 bowls, lentil soup, and baba ganoush to-go and service was excruciatingly slow.

“Kebabs? We just discovered a spot right near our area , and I wish I had found it sooner.”
Kebabs? We just discovered a spot right near our area , and I wish I had found it sooner! I ordered the combo with chicken and steak and my husband ordered chicken, beef and steak combo—absolutely heavenly. We loved everything: the meats, the hummus, the salad, and the pita. And since it’s a full plate, we even get to take some home and enjoy every bite again. Definitely a must-try place! 😋✨

“I have eaten at many a restaurant of this style in the Chicagoland area.”
I have eaten at many a restaurant of this style in the Chicagoland area. What differentiates this one is the quality of the meat and the kindness of its employees. The chicken and beef was of a very high quality. I will be eating here again.

I ordered delivery from door dash because I’m stuck in a hotel for a work thing. The best falafel I’ve had in ears. Amazing pickles. Hummus. Baba ghanoush. *Homer Simpson noises* And a great big serving

“Everything was so good, it’s all homemade, and it’s all Halal certified.”
Everything was so good, it’s all homemade, and it’s all Halal certified. The owner has over 30 years of experience, and it really showed through the cooking. The kebabs were so juicy. The rice was soft and fluffy, no complaints, and it was a little earthy from the quinoa essence. My favorite kebab I tried was the Beef Kifta Kebab. Tender and moist. I love Baba Ghanoush, just the smokiness really tingles my taste buds, never had a bad baba ghanoush if we’re keeping it a buck. They also do a lot of catering, and you need to save room for dessert. Their homemade Dubai chocolate was the best one I’ve tried, it’s super crunchy from the shredded phyllo dough, and just irresistible, so we got more to go. The Dubai Chocolate brownie was also a showstopper, same flavors as the Dubai chocolate, but more dense from the brownie aspect. Give this place a try, you won’t regret it.

My husband and I order the BOGO platter and it’s phenomenal every single time. Deliciously seasoned white meat chicken kebab, perfect falafel, amazing rice, hummus, and pitas. This is such a value! So much food for the price!

“Stopped at Michael’s & dropped in here for the first time.”
Stopped at Michael’s & dropped in here for the first time. We tried their shish kabobs and falafel. Steak chucks perfectly charred and packed with flavor. Omgosh don’t me started on the rice and hummus. As a non falafel lover, the falafel smacked! 10/10

“I've been to Zabaadi before but only for take out.”
I've been to Zabaadi before but only for take out. Just catered for my birthday and the food was amazing! Everything was so fresh and delicious! I ordered the Zabaadi Tray Package. It was more than enough food! All my guests said the food was so good and had seconds! I look forward to ordering again!

“My brother decided to order out food for his birthday and he chose this spot.”
My brother decided to order out food for his birthday and he chose this spot. They had a BOGO deal so we got two platters, and they were delivered on time- even early!! The falafels were delicious, the rice and chicken as well, and the hummus and salad were fresh and really good. The pita bread and white sauce were a good compliment to the dish and the baklava was really good too! I would definitely recommend this place, it’s not super expensive and has good food!
