“I recently visited Baba Saj Mediterranean with my friends, and overall it was a good and satisfying experience.”

I recently visited Baba Saj Mediterranean with my friends, and overall it was a good and satisfying experience. We tried a mix of items, including the chicken shawarma wrap, falafel wrap, and steak with pita bread roll, which gave us a nice variety to sample. The chicken shawarma roll was flavorful and well-seasoned, with juicy meat and a good balance of sauces. It felt fresh and filling, and the pita was nicely toasted. The falafel roll was another highlight—crispy on the outside, soft inside, and paired well with the sauce, making it a solid vegetarian option. It didn’t feel dry, which is always a plus with falafel. The steak pita roll was decent, though it could be better with slightly more seasoning and tenderness. The portions overall were generous, and the rolls were filling enough to share and still feel satisfied. The sauces complemented the food well and added to the overall taste. The ambience inside was clean and casual, suitable for a relaxed meal with friends. Service was quick, and the staff was friendly and efficient. Overall, Baba Saj is a good spot for Mediterranean food in Chicago, especially if you’re looking for shawarma or falafel with decent portions. With a little improvement in consistency, it could be even better.

“I am a shawarma lover and I go around trying all places thst sales shawrma.”

I am a shawarma lover and I go around trying all places thst sales shawrma. I came across baba Saj and I have to say thier Chicken Shawrma wrap is so amazing. I will give it a 5 star. Customer service was great and resturant was very clean. I also tried the drive thru and I got fast service too. The beef shawarma was good too but not as amazing as the chicken. I give Baba saj 5/5 as far price, quality and customer service

Everything was so amazing! The flavors are outstanding , and the bread so fresh and fluffy. Every bite contained bursts of flavor, each one was perfection! Will be a must stop shop for my late night flights into Chicago.

“Best Shawerma in Chicago.”

Best Shawerma in Chicago! I’m extremely picky about my shawarma and thought this was the best I’ve had in the US. Their rice bowls are also very good! The service was great and the guys were very helpful and nice. We’ll be back many more times inshallah.

“Had a good time trying the food here.”

Had a good time trying the food here. Was somewhat busy during lunchtime on a weekday. The restaurant is self-serve where you clean up after yourself and are able to get your own supplies - similar to a shawarma fast food place basically. Food was fresh and yummy.

Amazing food!!!!!! The BEST shawarma I have ever had in Chicagoland and the portions are VERY generous for the price. We drive close to an hour to come here, passing many other options just to come to Baba Saj. A+++++!!!!!!!
