“Without exaggeration, this is the best Middle Eastern restaurant in Chicago!! The staff is incredibly friendly. The restaurant is super clean, and the food is delicious and flavorful. The staff is very generous, and the portions are satisfying. I live an hour away from the restaurant but I make sure I go there once or twice a week. The prices are very reasonable compared to other restaurants. I highly recommend visiting this restaurant to try their delicious food—especially the Shawarma! 😊”
“I got the chicken shawarma sandwich and it was very good. Cooked well, the guy that made it was very nice, overall very fair price for the amount of food you get. The only complaint is that the garlic sauce lacked a lot of flavor. Not the best garlic sauce I’ve had but it’ll do”
“The food is great and the staff is friendly and helpful. A definite must visit!”
“The food was amazing!! I always get the same thing, the Chicken Shawarma sandwich but i enjoy it every time!! The presentation is lovely too!! And the fries and garlic sauce is nice too lol”
“The steak bowl was surprisingly generous, and the meat had a great smoky flavor just the way I like it. The owner is friendly, and the place is spotless, which is always a good sign. The weekday lunch bowls for $10.99 are an unbelievable deal. Definitely worth trying.”
