“Along with the spicy falafel (it’s got a nice kick and isn’t greasy at all) there’s cabbage, pickles, shredded carrots and cucumbers, corn salad, red onions, lettuce, humus, babaganoush…”
Save yourself time. Pita more like a bad tortilla. Chicken shwarma ok but not great.
Food is great but service has gotten worse over time. Staff are lazy.
Falafel was burnt and dry. Pita was stale. there are much better options nearby.

“Fast and healthy Mediterranean food right in the theater district.”
Fast and healthy Mediterranean food right in the theater district. Being vegan I went with the falafel bowl over rice and lettuce. Like the now defunct Maoz chain you can ask for as much of all the sides as you want included in the price! Along with the spicy falafel (it’s got a nice kick and isn’t greasy at all) there’s cabbage, pickles, shredded carrots and cucumbers, corn salad, red onions, lettuce, humus, babaganoush…. all included! Big enough for two meals it really hit the spot. They’ve also got chicken and steak, for which I can’t vouch, but the veg options are great.

“Compared to other Mediterranean restaurants in chitown, I felt this was an okay experience.”
Compared to other Mediterranean restaurants in chitown, I felt this was an okay experience. I had a rice bowl with Tahini sauce and did not like the flavors very much. It was however not a disaster.

“Fast service and good portions.”
Fast service and good portions. Perfect for a quick bite. I originally tried the location in Schaumburg which is now closed. It was so good to have it again!

“I have been eating at Benjyehuda for a long time.”
I have been eating at Benjyehuda for a long time. I used to go to the LaSalle location until I changed jobs to a building across the street from this one. It's always clean, whether you are take out or dine in. It's spacious, well lit, and comfortable. The food is truly some of the best and I can never skip the fries. But, my favorite part of this location is the staff. They're always so kind, welcoming, and warm. I know my week will be made anytime I drop by. Thanks for providing great food, a welcoming atmosphere, and somewhere I can expect the same amazing experience time and time again!

Slow Halloween lunch and the entire crew was dressed up. A fun break from the office environment. Fries were an A+
