Went here for the first time last night for our 6 yr anniversary with my BF. We had a very nice time. The staff were very nice and the food was so delicious. I also have a particularly inconvenient nut allergy so they took note and made sure it was not in any of the food or drink we ordered.

“BEST PLACE FOR ARAB FOOD IN CHICAGO.”

BEST PLACE FOR ARAB FOOD IN CHICAGO. The scenery is GORGEOUS and portion sizes are HUGE. The meat is always cooked tender and falls off the bone. Menu is full of diverse options, and I keep craving it every time I come 😍.

“A wonderful experience.”

A wonderful experience! The food was nothing short of AMAZING! The service was top tier. (like our server Muna) The ambiance/atmosphere was so accommodating. Very relaxed and comfortable. The "vibe" was active and comfortable. Nearly EVERY table or booth had whole families enjoying the fabulous food and each other. A very alive vibrant place, a FAMILY place. It is not just a restaurant that has GREAT food but the energy is invigorating. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! You will not regret it. Seriously.

“The food was phenomenal—some of the best I’ve had in the U.S.”

The food was phenomenal—some of the best I’ve had in the U.S. The service was good as well. We were a party of 15 and they provided us dedicated service. Both of our servers were polite, professional, and efficient. The restaurant appears to be well run, and the staff are very professional. Nothing was lacking. Beef ribs are the surprise star of this restaurant. Overall, great experience but It can be a little loud in the restaurant which makes it challenging to have a conversation with others at a large table.

“We had an amazing experience at your restaurant.”

We had an amazing experience at your restaurant! We started with the wings specifically the barbecue wings and they were absolutely delicious. They were perfectly crunchy, grilled to perfection, and packed with incredible flavor. Honestly, these are the best wings I've had in America; their small size makes them just perfect. We also tried the banne meat( لحمة بعجين), which was hot and incredibly tasty, and the tabbouleh was outstanding like the perfect balance of salt and oil, fresh and flavorful. The fish platter was another highlight, with the shrimp and salmon tasting amazing. The hummus and baba ghanoush served with your bread were also fantastic like the bread itself was perfectly soft and fresh. In addition to the amazing food, the service was outstanding. The waitstaff were extremely friendly, attentive, and professional, especially considering how busy it gets on weekends. They managed everything with such care and efficiency, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. Overall, the atmosphere, service, and food were all top notch. Everything we tried was delicious, and I would highly recommend everyone give this place a try at least once in their life!

“A refreshing take on middle eastern classics.”

A refreshing take on middle eastern classics. All of the traditional flavors elevated with a twist. The smoked Arayes with cheese and the chicken wings were better than the ribs and shanks they are known for in my opinion. The service is amazing with servers everywhere ready to help
