“Went here yesterday for lunch. Moe was super hospitable and nice. The food was incredible (we had a pita and a wrap with some fries- everything rocked!) The cherry on top is their hot sauce. I could drink that stuff! Thank you Rumi Grill!”
“Get the mixed shawarma plate! Flavorful and filling. Perfect amount of food for two at a great price.”
“Vibe is amazing, nice and filling food thats made right after order. Has nice bathrooms & pretty good prices”
“I used to come here all the time while I was in college. Seven years later, it’s still the best (and most affordable!) falafel in the city. I make the trip every time I visit from New York.”
“Very delicious and tasty 😋 very clean and healthy. Staff very friendly. I highly recommend this place.”
“Do not waste your time or money going to Cava or Sweetgreen. This is the spot you want to go to! The food is so flavorful, staff are friendly, plenty of seating, very sweet vibe. We keep coming back :)”
“I cant even describe to you how amazing this food is. I got chicken poutine, and the flavors were so rich and multi dementional. I know thats an off way to describe it, but it was like layers of flavor. Easily Chicago's best resteraunt! I believe it was the owner I spoke with - he was very friendly and kind. I will stop here every time I visit chicago.”
“Owner is amazing and very nice. My order didn’t deliver the first day and he promptly reimbursed me. I came by the next day, ordered my food and he kept me company. When I got back to my house, I found out he gave me free baklava!!! Chicken shawarma is a must, definitely go if you’re around.”
“I came to pick up a quick order. I ordered online not knowing what to order everything seemed delicious. I walked in and I went to pick up my order. I was surprised from how many other orders there were. The atmosphere was very friendly. And the staff were very nice. I will be back!”
“Ohhh this place is so real! If you are craving good Palestinian taste. You should come here. Also the falafel is sooo good!”
