“Omg!!! This place is too amazing to not try. The food is so fresh and super tasty. This location is my favorite one!! The way Amina and the rest of the staff recognize us it’s just so heartwarming, they make us feel like family. We are so happy when we’re here and leave even happier with a full belly. Thank you Amina and staff for an amazing experience as always! You guys are amazing! We travel an hour to eat here so that tells you how delicious the food is but the service makes it even better. We love you Baba Saj Oak Lawn“

“I’ve loved this place since the day I started ordering it! I order this almost every week or every other week when I’m at work in the evening. It’s always delivered fresh and warm and the chicken is amazing the seasonings are fantastic! And the names of the items to order are hilarious also the humor in me makes me laugh at them!“

“Prices are affordable, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff is friendly. My only complaint is that the meats are already precooked and left sitting out, so they aren’t fresh or hot. At the very least, they should try to keep them warm. Other than that, meh not bad.“

“The food was delicious and authentic. I loved the Bowl with their FRESH ingredients and the Empanadas were very good. I expected to be disappointed and was very surprised of the taste of this wonderful Gem. 9 out of 10 stars. The reason why I didn't rate it a perfect 10 was because it was freezing here.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

As someone who has spent more than 30 years exploring, reviewing, and appreciating food across 35 countries, I do not make compliments lightly. Hello Shawarma is genuinely among the finest shawarma establishments I have encountered anywhere in the world.

What immediately stands out is the quality of the meat. The shawarma is expertly marinated, perfectly seasoned, and cooked with remarkable precision, achieving that ideal balance between tenderness and caramelized crispness that defines truly exceptional shawarma. Every bite is rich, flavorful, and unmistakably authentic.

My strongest recommendation is the Crispy Shawarma with a touch of Shatta. The contrast between the crispy edges of the meat and the subtle heat of the Shatta creates a beautifully balanced flavor profile that keeps you coming back for another bite. It's bold without being overwhelming and showcases a deep understanding of how texture and spice should complement each other.

Beyond the shawarma itself, the freshness of the ingredients is evident. The bread, vegetables, sauces, and accompaniments are all carefully selected and prepared. Nothing feels mass-produced or rushed. The garlic sauce is especially noteworthy—creamy, balanced, and crafted to enhance rather than overpower the shawarma.

The restaurant maintains high standards of cleanliness, service, and consistency, which are qualities often overlooked but essential to a truly great dining experience. The staff are welcoming, attentive, and clearly take pride in what they serve.

Having enjoyed street food, fine dining, and regional specialties across Europe, the Middle East, North America, and Asia, I can confidently say that Hello Shawarma ranks among the best shawarma experiences I have had. It is a rare example of a restaurant that combines authenticity, quality ingredients, technical skill, and genuine hospitality in every meal.

If you appreciate outstanding Middle Eastern cuisine, do yourself a favor: order the Crispy Shawarma with a touch of Shatta. You will not regret it.“

“I've visited and dined in a number of times and I've ordered food for delivery. I have never experienced disappointment. The food, desserts, drinks, and service are top notch. The portions are great. The restaurant itself is super cute! Ive had friends meet me there for food dates and they've enjoyed everything.“

“This has to be some of the absolute best Middle Eastern food I’ve ever had. Inside of the restaurant is decorated beautifully, and the 2 young gentlemen who took care of me were wonderful, and very curious about my feedback. I ordered the mixed grill, with baba ghanoush as my appetizer. Everything was top notch, and I would go back in a heartbeat!“

“Was lucky to be able to try their food. I’m a nurse and we were given food from idof as a treat during the pandemic ..it was delicious .“

“It took a long time for me to get my food but overall it was well worth it. I had the crispy Philly and I'll get it again if I go back.“

“Delicious Halal Pizza 🍕 and Grilled Chicken with Rice ❤️😋“

“If you’re racing to a train and just need something good to grab, this is your place.

Chicken was awesome, totally tender and juicy and better seasoned than some fancy meals I’ve paid for. Also if you like spicy food just go full supa-hot, it’s worth it. Fries & toast were actually crispy and salty, not just mush.

Across the board, the place is solid and you could do a lot worse.“

“This was my first time having a gyro, my son’s as well. It was absolutely PHENOMENAL! The guy who made our food was so kind. I asked him to make mine the way he likes his because I had no idea what to order! Awesome vibe dining in! I’ll probably never be back in Chicago but I’m so glad I stopped here on our first night of vacation!“

“I love Ghareeb Nawaz. I used to go all the time when I went to UIC, and it slaps every single time. I was craving butter chicken, so I ordered for “dine-in”, and they were so generous with the portions. The food came out super quickly too, and the guy behind the counter was really nice.

I also got a potato samosa, which was absolutely massive, and it paired so well with the white sauce. The mango lassi was creamy and refreshing, and it balanced out the meal perfectly. Honestly, the leftovers might’ve hit even harder; I reheated everything later and it was still just as good.

Comfort food, huge portions, fast service, and consistently delicious. I love Ghareeb.“

“Yay can’t miss lamb mandi“

“We were in town for a Blackhawks game and wanted something different. Glad we came here. Best jerk chicken and rice and peas we’ve ever had!“
