“Zabaadi is phenomenal and everything is made to order. Highly recommend you stop by whenever you are in the area. Rice is very fluffy and meat is soft and tender. Their hummus is also very good. Fast and friendly service. Family friendly!”
“Long time customer! Never disappointed and with each passing year expectations exceeded best restaurant in the neighborhood food is always high quality and flavorful sometimes it emotionally moves and inspires me genuinely love this place and the staff is incredibly friendly and attentive”
“Came back here again for catering (this is my second time) and they were just as amazing. I ordered for another event at my house and everything went so smoothly. They're always super friendly and attentive. They even offered to help me carry everything out to my car which I really appreciated. And the cutest part the owner's dad went and grabbed me two falafels for the road like that was so sweet. I love supporting family-owned businesses, especially when they're this consistent. The food is always fresh, and even a day or two later it still tastes really good which is a big deal for catering. This is definitely my go-to now for events. II 100% keep using them and recommending to my friends.”
“Such yummy food! The meat is so tender & juicy and the portions are big! I've never been able to finish in one sitting so I usually get two meals out of it. I adore the chicken/steak combo. Their hummus is also so good. The staff is also all super sweet! Definitely a hidden gem”
“Absolutely amazing! Food -excellent!, service- friendly and polite!, oh me and my husband coming back!!”
“The food is more than excellent. Thank you for the best and delicious food, really enjoyed it.”
“Kebabs? We just discovered a spot right near our area , and I wish I had found it sooner! I ordered the combo with chicken and steak and my husband ordered chicken, beef and steak combo—absolutely heavenly. We loved everything: the meats, the hummus, the salad, and the pita. And since it’s a full plate, we even get to take some home and enjoy every bite again. Definitely a must-try place! 😋✨”
“The food it’s so tasty, I highly recommend it, must try hummus and the lamb platter”
“I have eaten at many a restaurant of this style in the Chicagoland area. What differentiates this one is the quality of the meat and the kindness of its employees. The chicken and beef was of a very high quality. I will be eating here again.”
“I ordered delivery from door dash because I’m stuck in a hotel for a work thing. The best falafel I’ve had in ears. Amazing pickles. Hummus. Baba ghanoush. *Homer Simpson noises* And a great big serving”
“I had food from here about a year ago it was pretty good then but when I came back to try their food it didn’t taste the same as before. The falafels weren’t as good and warm as before. The rice and salad were more flavorful too, so it’s still good just a bit different.”
