Halal spot. Cool spot for Mediterranean food especially considering it’s near the college campus. Good was yummy and fresh. Had some leftovers for later as well given the bigger portion.

“Have used IDOF for catering to the nearby hospital a few times, and they are always friendly and accomodating.”

Have used IDOF for catering to the nearby hospital a few times, and they are always friendly and accomodating! Food is always fresh, carefully packed, and receives rave reviews on flavor. That too this is a healthier option than many in the area and I'm so glad it exists. Cannot recommend highly enough!

“One of the best authentic falafel I ever tasted in the U.S.”

One of the best authentic falafel I ever tasted in the U.S. Shawarma not really!, and the reason I say this, it is not cooked the way authentic shawarma is! ( which is similar to gyro)

“Bar none the best Mediterranean franchise I’ve had the pleasure of dining with here in Chicago.”

Bar none the best Mediterranean franchise I’ve had the pleasure of dining with here in Chicago. Get the chicken shawarma plate, it’s reasonably priced, and top quality food that will be sure to leave you satisfied. Even though I find myself to be a picky eater, I’m at this place weekly it seems.

“Excellent falafels and better than the ones at Naf Naf.”

Excellent falafels and better than the ones at Naf Naf. The service was exceptional. Very courteous caring and helpful staff. They were very patiently explaining the options despite the crowd and in such a place this trait is almost never there. The only thing I feel that can be bettered are the sauses/salsa they have. NAF NAF ones are. Much better and perhaps the only reason to choose naf naf over this. I had a vegetarian bowl and costed about 11$ all inclusive.

Love IDOF and was pleasantly surprised that this location is no different than my previous experiences. Went at about 2 o’clock on a Saturday and service was quick and helpful! Bed of Hummus is the way to go!
