“This place is slept on. Food is amazing, staff is professional. Hope the food and prices stay the same. My favorite spot in the south side by far. At the moment, they are better than Albawadi and fatooush. Mixed grill or one of the sandwiches, you can’t go “
“The best restaurant ever. The food was amazing and the service was even better. I came as an invite from my cousin and it was such an amazing place. Highly recommend!Mashallah, I eat a lot of good food, it is tidy, and the grills are cleanest“
“Got the chicken shawarma meal and it was such a good portion. It came with fries, pickles and a drink. The food was really good and filling. The service is friendly and quick and our food did not take long. There is also plenty of seating for small or larger groups.Parking: There's parking around the back. The front parking was pretty packed.“
“The food here is phenomenal! I would give this place ten stars. I got the butter chicken bowl, full of hummus, baba ganoush, veggies, sauces, feta etc! The bowls are a nice portion. I will ALWAYS go to this place I swear. The taste? VERY GOOD! The way they place the portions in the bowl, sets me on an actual journey when I eat. Spoon after spoon after spoon, omg, I have to slow down, damn this food is good. The taste is fresh. The taste is refreshing. The meat is seasoned just right. The meat is clean; no bones or gristle or fat. Next time I will get the steak bowl. I've been eating while typing this entire time. Im so full and I just ate one third of this bowl.I can only imagine all the other food, and this was just the butter chicken bowl. Im sure they will get tired of seeing me in there because this is now THE place for me.“
“Honestly these are the best shawarma in the neighborhood I love them anyone I take here always has nothing but good things to say about the food, the atmosphere is very inviting and the staff is very nice. I recommended the food to everyone that visits Chicago. I love it.“
“We had my daughter’s baby shower today and everything was amazing! Our servers Gregory and Kosta were great! They attended to all our needs. The room we had the shower in was set up beautifully! The food was delicious as everyone said it would be that had their events there. My family had recommended Kefi as so do I for your special events. Thank you to everyone at Kefi for making it a very Special day for us!!“
“My husband and I came into your restaurant for the first time today. We tried the Steak Bowls and they were delicious. The different flavors from both rices, the seasoned tender steak and the five different toppings were wonderful. Yum! We’ll be back!“
“I'm not used to giving 5 stars, but this place earned it. I've been there after some friends suggested me the knafeh, a traditional dessert that is a must if you will come here. Since I stepped in I was fascinated by the place and it's style. The owner has done it's best decorating it. The staff there was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure our dining experience was enjoyable. They gave us a background about this place history, that is amazing. The food was equally impressive - fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. I highly recommend this restaurant!“
“The food was delish! Although they seemed rigid, maybe a little skeptical, they were polite, clean, & they take Google pay! I love the garlic sauce. So yum, so garlicky lol!! The falafel was enough for 2 days of eats, & soo good! The baklava was exceptionally tasty, & not soggy, but soft, slightly crunchy, & utter oral bliss! I'm spending more of my loot with them!!! By the way, the pickled parsnips....WOW!!“
“Visited SemSem for the first time, the food was very very good but the service excellent ?! I highly recommend trying the Fetta Fries, they were delicious! Also had the Pita with Stake. Coming back to try other items from the menu! They are located at the Food Court in the Chicago Ridge Mall.Parking: This is at the Chicago Ridge Mall, always parking available.Kid-friendliness: Located in the Mall food court.“
“it just opened, but this middle east restaurant's menu is growing. It offers great Middle East fast foods with chicken, beef, lamb shawarma (gyros), hummus, freshly baked flat bread for great food wraps. And it has phenomenal salads including tabouli and Jerusalem salad with tahini. Check it out. The menu is phenomenal and they are just getting started. I love it.“
“Incredible staff and amazing service. Went there for dessert and everything they offered was amazing! The place was clean and nice, the food was good and overall I really liked it. I recommend it for anyone who wants to enjoy delicious middle eastern food and dessert.“
“We just went to Al Basha, which means the king in Arabic, after searching it on Google Maps. Wow the food is so incredible. We just had to get takeout because we were going somewhere but we will definitely go back! I had just a plate of falafel and my husband got the beef Shawarma sandwich. The portions were even bigger than they told us and everything was incredibly freshly homemade. Wow!“
“Food it’s very delicious and will give more chance for management we try them many times just need more organisation specially Ramadan they doesn’t accept order over the phone and we went walking before iftar they need 45 minutes to get “
“Traditional Old School Style Arabic Breakfast. Tastes just like Home Made without having to do the hours of cooking and cleaning lol. Service is shockingly fast and they’re so busy that everything has always been fresh. Our staff eats here multiple times a week. They never disappoint. This is the Go To for anyone that knows Arabic Breakfast.“
“I've eaten here a few times now. WOW best food in the area! Fries have always been very crisp and hot. Gyro plate was amazing!Burgers are tasty, they grill the onions and red peppers which is nice. Good variety of menu items. Staff members Danny and Juan are the best! will go back, easy decision.“
“WOW if I could give more than 5 stars I would. Highly recommend!Absolutely delicious! I had Arab Swag Tacos and Baklava. Healthy portions and that were well seasoned.Pleasant environment, very welcoming and clean. The interior was cozy.The staff was kind and helpful. You could see the chefs cooking and I appreciated that there were no microwaves. Everything was super fresh.“
“Wow wow wow first time for the family…food was outrageous so juicy crispy light not to greasy…seasonings on point food hot presentation was great…milkshakes are to die for… environment was clean smelled good we will be back for sure 1000/1000 and generous portion on the salad!!!!“
“I come here rather often for the fahsa, which is pretty consistent. I typically ask the server to make it spicy. The two menu items we tried for the first time this visit was the biryani which was a big hit, along with the meat pies which I believe are the first items on the menu (I forgot the name). I would highly recommend this yemeni food, I just wish the service was a little better as that is the only reason I'm giving them a 4/5 star review“
“The place is super affordable and kept very clean. The people who work here are so nice and friendly! The food comes out fast and fresh. The fries were cooked perfectly. They have a good dining area and bathroom available. They do not deliver, but you can order through Uber Eats or Grub hub for delivery.Vegetarian options: They just have salads and French fries for vegetarians.“
