Everything was great!! Was able to sit down and look at the menu and I picked the lunch special. It was so good!!! I loved everything and would definitely come again! Service was great and so clean and neat. You get pita bread with your hummus and other sauces if needed.

“I've been driving by this place for years and finally decided to stop by for lunch.”

I've been driving by this place for years and finally decided to stop by for lunch. I purchased the Shawarma Chicken meal with garlic sauce and pickles. Along with the Lentil soup. Everything was very good as the pictures look. Next time I will try the Steak Shawarma meal or Veggie combo. Everyone was very nice and offered me a free sample of the Lentil soup.

“Absolutely delicious.”

Absolutely delicious! I ordered the lentil soup, falafel pita, vegetarian combo, and pistachio baklava with a lemon malt drink — and everything was outstanding. The lentil soup was perfectly seasoned and comforting, the falafel pita was fresh and flavorful, and the vegetarian combo had such a great variety of textures and tastes. The pistachio baklava was the perfect sweet finish — flaky, nutty, and just the right amount of sweetness. The lemon malt drink paired surprisingly well with everything, giving a refreshing balance to the meal. Great portions, quick service, and amazing flavor all around!

“I was beyond impressed with my experience at Jarasa.”

I was beyond impressed with my experience at Jarasa. The food is authentic, fresh, and flavorful. The service was fast, and the staff were very hospitable. Khalid and Ibrahim were super friendly and recommended me some of their most popular dishes including their mixed grill, feta fries, and shawarma. Everything was absolutely delicious, but my favorite was definitely the loaded feta fries. I am 100% returning here again when I’m craving Middle Eastern food.

Jarasa Kabob is the BEST! Their immaculately clean environment sets the tone for a great dining experience. The food is fresh and delicious - halal rice and kabob that's full of flavour! Friendly service adds to the charm. What's more, they're VERY Family Friendly - Overall, Jarasa Kabob exceeded our expectations! Highly recommend - fresh food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere make it a must-visit for families.

“I went to Jarasa Kabob in Skokie with my family, and right from the start, I was impressed by how clean the place was.”

I went to Jarasa Kabob in Skokie with my family, and right from the start, I was impressed by how clean the place was. The manager, Khalid, greeted us with a big smile and didn’t keep us waiting. Since it was my first time there, he helped me pick something from the menu when I wasn’t sure what to get. When we asked about soup, he said they only had lentil soup, then brought us small cups to try—free of charge. After I finished mine, I returned the cup, and he gave me a refill without me even asking. Very generous! I peeked behind the glass at the food prep area, and it was also super clean. The staff had uniforms on and looked neat. We used one of the kiosks to order—quick and easy—and got our food in about 10 minutes. Plenty of parking out front. Prices were great, food tasted good, and the service was excellent. Definitely going back again, God willing!

“My favourite spot for Shawarma around.”

My favourite spot for Shawarma around. They serve authentic mediterranean food with rich flavours making you want to eat more than you can. The staff there is always super friendly helping you with every possible query one can have. If you haven’t stopped by yet then you surely are missing out big time!

“I truly enjoyed my short time here.”

I truly enjoyed my short time here. The staff was exceptionally friendly and attentive. The food was authentic, spicy, and full of Middle Eastern flair. The prices were very affordable and well worth it. I had the steak bowl, which was packed with flavor and chunky, hefty ingredients. It felt like a true dinner plate. I'll definitely be back soon to sit down and enjoy my meal. Thank you!

“With so many choices, I finally dine here after hundreds of excuses.”

With so many choices, I finally dine here after hundreds of excuses. I had the special lunch combo and it was delicious. The rice was high grade and prepared perfectly. The meat couldn't be more tender. Price ridiculous reasonable for the quality I had. I think I just found my go to place. The guy at the counter was gracious and pleasant. Go here!
