“Very polite and friendly staff. The food was absolutely delicious, and the Kunafa dessert was the best of the best! Everything was fresh and full of flavor. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone. You won’t be disappointed!”
“Five words: this. place. is. so. good!!! The staff upon entry were so sweet and welcoming and made some great recommendation for what we should get. We got the chicken shawarma wrap, beef kebob platter, hummus, falafels, mediterranean salad, and kanafe for dessert. Everything was delicious and so flavorful. The chicken shawarma wrap was my favorite - I could eat this every day for lunch. The kanafe was also an unexpected surprise - it was my first time having this, and we loved it! We truly loved everything we got. Highly recommend this spot if you're in the area!”

“I discovered this restaurant by chance and decided to give it a try. I ordered the lentil soup, fries, and a beef shawarma sandwich. Everything was delicious, and the shawarma tasted very similar to the shawarma you get in Jordan. It was absolutely amazing!”

“Very yummy food, I ordered my falafel sandwich with Arabic pita bread and it’s so good, the shawarma sandwiches are so yummy too, the Fatoosh salad is fresh and tasty but I was surprised that it’s not cut properly as the usual Fatoosh! They offer us some lentil soups, and it was so good especially in this cold weather 👍🏼”
“Absolute best shawarma in Chicago hands down. The chicken, the gyro, the falafel… all of it rocks! Plus the manager is super kind and occasionally gives out free warm soup on cold winter days 🫶🏻”
