Laid back place with superb Arabic food. Their grilled meats are done perfectly and served over a warm bed of fragrant rice. The salad is also very authentic and fresh. Highly recommended.

Ghawar restaurant | Arab/middle eastern food THE SHORT & SWEET - Summary: Breakfast should be good and cheap. We got neither here. - Price: almost $90 for two adults and one baby. Poor value. Crazy for breakfast. - Overall Rating: 2.2/5 THE DEEP DIVE «The Food» - Ordered shakshouka, falafel, hummus, eggs with potatoes, fool, halloumi cheese. The fool was just not good and we couldn’t eat more than two bites of it. The shakshouka needed more flavor to it. Falafel was lacking and tasted a little off or stale. - Seriously lacking in flavor. Everything we ordered was very mid/basic. «The Vibe» - Quirky - small - open kitchen «The Service» - Quick because there was only one other table and lots of staff available. - They were really nice to our baby.

We had a wonderful experience at Ghawar in Chicago. The food was fresh, flavorful, and authentic, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Our waitress, Lemma, was especially great with us — very kind, attentive, and helpful throughout our visit. She made us feel very comfortable and well taken care of. We really appreciated her excellent service and would definitely come back again.
