Middle Eastern Restaurants near Burbank, IL

“Great amazing food and great customer service 5 stars“

“I'm my way to Midway and decided to get something to eat and I decided to go to the Best Shawerma. Let me tell you!!! I am glad that I decided to stop here. I got the combination plate. This dish is plenty for a hungry soul. The chicken is flavored perfectly, the rice is also flavored perfectly. The beef and lamb are cooked and flavored well also. Everything is seasoned, so good that I didn't need to use the three sauces that came with the meal. Everything time I fly into Midway, I am definitely making a stop when I land or when I'm going home.“

“My first time here having a dinner with my best friends and I came to celebrate my birthday and everything was so great. Adnane was our server and he was so nice, he gave us a great service, he heard us to speak Spanish and he talked to us in Spanish too, so that’s so awesome! So for sure we will back with family and friends.“

“First time having dinner here and it was so good. Fast service and nice atmosphere. Looking forward to coming back!“

“Fool and falafel and the kushari“

“As I had recently arrived from Denver, CO to pay my brother a visit. He treated me by taking me to the King of Falafel & Shawarma. The cook/cashier took our order; falafels with hummus and a mixed dish with rice and various meats (the Junior). I cannot stress enough the delicious flavors of every single food I put in my mouth. I was saddened to realize that I would have to go back home and not enjoy this food on a regular basis. So on my last day of vacationing, I went back and ordered numerous amounts of those delicious dishes, which I was able to take back on the flight and ultimately freeze for later enjoyment. I highly recommend this restaurant. Because aside from the delicious food, the staff were very courteous, warm and inviting. 5 stars out of 5!“

“From the moment we stepped into this incredible Arab restaurant, we were welcomed with the kind of warmth and hospitality that made us feel like family. The atmosphere was inviting and beautifully decorated, but it was the service—and especially the owner—that truly made this experience unforgettable. The food was absolutely phenomenal. What truly set this restaurant apart, though, was the hospitality. The owner personally came over to greet us and made sure my entire family was comfortable and well taken care of. It’s rare to find someone who treats guests with such heartfelt attention. This was a memorable experience. I can’t recommend this place enough if you’re looking for not just incredible food, but also to be treated with the kind of warmth and generosity that leaves a lasting impression. We will absolutely be returning“

“Amazing smoked beef brisket sandwich with fresh cut fries. Everything was was made fresh and served piping hot. The BBQ sauce is delicious... sweet, smoky and a tad spicy. The portions are large and well worth the money. If in the area again, I would definitely go back.“

“Hamdullah One of my favorite places to eat! The hummus!!!! The best … So tasty. The service… so genuine and loving. The food …soooo yummy and nutritious. Peace be upon the cooks and the preparers. Highly recommended.“

“This place *never* lets us down. The food is delicious, fresh and just so tasty. Their hummus is the BEST- they add some delicious garnishes on it. Best hummus I’ve ever had. Just too good and reliable. My kids love it too which is great.“

“Food is amazing, environment is so relaxing and friendly. Literally the food I have ever had.“

“I eat here nearly every three days of the week.
The Falafel Sandwiches here are mouth watering super delicious.
The prices are cheap and the staff are cordial and very friendly.
I highly recommend you try their sandwiches.“

“The shawarma is my favorite thing on the menu 👍“

If you’re looking for delicious food and a relaxed atmosphere, I definitely recommend checking out Laimoon Restaurant. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“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 absolutely love bringing people here just from how beautiful the restaurant is and the service is always wonderful. The place is always clean and super friendly to me and my guests. Could not recommend this place more.“

“Fantastic authentic Israeli food. The falafel were amazing and the pita and hummus is some of the best I’ve tasted outside Israel. This place deserves 10 stars. Will definitely go back again.“

“A very well, clean, great customer service atmosphere with very reasonable prices and the food is very tasty. You will not be disappointed. Keep up the great works Crave Khebob team, thanks for your undying efforts. My favorite spot to eat at when I'm in Chicago about three times a week.“

“My friend got a platter and shawarma sandwiches It was delicious 10/10 I recommend“

“This place is great! The service is excellent- the servers are always so pleasant. The food is fresh and tasty! The portions are huge! The bowl feeds 2 people and they always give you a pita! I frequent this place at least 3 times a month!“

“You can eat light and healthy here. But three of our 4 people found Tinfoil in their food. I had tabouli, hummus, cucumber salad, pickles, rice and double order of spicey chicken and a pita for only $11.99. They didn’t charge extra for the Tinfoil!!“

“They had excellent service, the food was great, and the falafel came right off of the fryer. They were very kind, and the employees were very understanding when I asked for change. Overall, the restaurant was really good, and it was the best food I’ve had for a while.“

“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!“

“ماشالله مطعم وقاعه اشي فاخر علي الاخر والاكل بشهي وقاعه نظيفه كتير. ومعامله ولا احسن من هيك كل الاحترام لطاقم العمل وبالأخص الأخ مهند الله يعطيكم الف عافيه علي حفلتنا مبارح. كل الاحترام من غاده صالون 🙏🙏🥰“

“The Kid's Bowl is the perfect size for a light lunch. Add a side of Mediterranean Pickles and I'm in heaven.“

“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.“

“You know why I frequent Alwatan Bakery? Insha’Allah “God wills it” Their halal food is the best, I go there frequently for breakfast. I wouldn’t give that McDonald’s crap, or any other fast food to an abandoned starving stray dog on the street.“

“My partner and I enjoyed a delightful weekday evening dinner, and the experience was extraordinary from the moment we sat down. The flavors and aromas were so inviting, they hit us even before the main dish arrived. We started with Mazza, which featured the creamiest hummus and a smoky, perfectly roasted eggplant baba ghannooj. The falafels were the highlight—simply the best I've ever had, like the perfect cherry on top of a sundae. As for the Mansaf, it was nothing short of exceptional. The rich yogurt sauce, tender lamb, crunchy almonds, and flawlessly cooked rice made for a dish that was out of this world. It was so good, I couldn't resist having the leftovers for breakfast the next day. The service was top-notch, and even though we live over two hours away, we’ll definitely be coming back.“

“Very friendly service! Was able to sample some of the food items ( Thanks Souna!, forgive the misspelling) Food is very fresh and the large Kabob plate is delicious and very plentiful. Love the Falafel and the Kibbeh was good. Really good is the Arabic pizza the cheese and grilled veggie one. I will be returning!“

“Absolutely delicious!!!!! Amazing service, great food. Would def rec!“

“This restaurant is simply fantastic. I have visited two branches in Chicago, Old Town and the Loop, and their hummus is amazing and unmatched. The pita bread is smooth and incredibly tasty. In both locations, the service was excellent, but the Loop branch stands out with its uniquely kind and helpful Mexican-American staff.“

“It’s 100% 💯 original authentic Jordanian just like me 😊“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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.“

“أزكى مشاوي وفلافل ومقبلات وعرايس بالبلد......... جربوها ما رح تخسروا و خبروني The best Mashawee and falafel and Arays, appetizers in town, try it out and let me know.“

“Wonderful food & service!“

“Delicious & Authentic!!!!“

“The salads are the best! I have followed them since they were in the Nordstrom Mall on Michigan Ave over 20 years ago. Happy they’re now in Merchandise Mart . My co-workers and I would literally have their salad for lunch everyday. They’re so good!“

“I have been eating at Benjyehuda for a long time. I used to go to the LaSalle location until I changed jobs to a building across the street from this one. It's always clean, whether you are take out or dine in. It's spacious, well lit, and comfortable. The food is truly some of the best and I can never skip the fries. But, my favorite part of this location is the staff. They're always so kind, welcoming, and warm. I know my week will be made anytime I drop by. Thanks for providing great food, a welcoming atmosphere, and somewhere I can expect the same amazing experience time and time again!“

“Awesome food, always clean and the staff is always on point!“
