Some noted
Food was not what we expected. Wraps were lacking fresh ingredients, sauce, and pickles.
Ordered one wrap and waited 40 minutes. It did not taste very good.
I ordered a plate mix but i was disappointed because the onion Beef ,pepper and chicken was too much burn and the beef is super hard .The salad is not seasoned well.

I went here on a Sunday near closing time, which is usually a bad time to get food, but the food and service was still excellent. Falafel and quofte are very good, and the sandwiches/wraps come with appropriate amounts of sauce and fresh veg.

Was my first time in a Mediterranean restaurant in Chicago, Lovely restaurant with delicious food, welcoming staff and a great menu. The dishes were full of flavor with a generous portion. We had falafel 🧆 hummus and two dishes of beef / lamb shawarma plates. It was a pleasant meal with lovely music playing for the great singer FAIRUZ. The restaurant is connected to a Mediterranean grocery store where you can find many different kinds of Middle East herbs and more.
