However, the atmosphere was pretty boring since there was no music playing, and the lady who took our order looked annoyed and not happy to be there. Come for the great food, but don't expect much of an experience.“

“Delicious food. The restaurant is small but food is great.“

“I'll try to be real brief here, since dining area is shared with few other food places, what I can rate here is service, food and pricing.There are plently of employees, so you don't wait much. Overall, they were nice and friendly, and I haven't seen them messing around or doing something weird at all times. That's a plus.As to the food, I guess that's a great choice of cuisine to add among common food court stuff like italian, philly steaks and chinese. And a decent selection of ingredients as well, you can fully customize your wrap or bowl.I got the falafil wrap on tomato basil tortilla, and it was super good, however, the structure did not go well. Hummus made tortilla bottom soggy, it broke a bit and insides started falling off... Either another tortilla bread needed, or a different way to wrap.Fries were freshly made right for me, golden and crispy.The only thing I didn't get is pricing, for a combo of falafil wrap, fries and lemonade I paid $15, which is out of this world. Ok well, they may say all of their neighbors are in the same price range which is true; however mall food court food (even if its decent) should not cost 1,5 half times much of a regular meal same price elsewhere. That may be a landlords' problem skyrocketing these people rent or what else is causing this idk.That's not much difference, when you goto this specifil mall once in a year, but I've visited so many other places that deserve those extra $5 instead. A star down for pricing.“

“This is great authentic food, cost is great with a lot of food portions, The staff are friendly, helpful and welcoming. overall 💯 Thank you, don't go anywhere 😁 totally recommend 👍👏🫶“

“Can’t believe we didn’t know about this hidden gem. What an amazing experience it was to dine there! From service to food to ambiance, everything was perfect. We (includes 3 kiddos) enjoyed all of the items ordered and can’t wait to come back for more soon!“

“I ordered a kebab with a side of fries and fatoush. the kebab was delicious, soft and savory and the fries were crunchy enjoyable and tasty. Also the fatoush was juicy, yummy and had a hint of sour to it, Helen's customer service was sweet and friendly! that was one of the most delicious middle eastern foods I've tried in America so far. I recommend trying it out if you haven't yet!!“

“My son recommended your restaurant to me, so I drove an hour to check it out! The staff was very friendly and the food was SO good! I ordered more food to bring home to my husband. We will definitely be back.“

“excellent food, consistent everything. never disappointed.“

“Amazing experience! The service was top-notch—friendly, attentive, and always with a smile. You can tell they genuinely care about customers.

The food was just as impressive—super fresh and full of flavor. I ordered two bowls: the Harissa Chopped Salad and the Mezze Protein Bowl, and both were absolutely delicious. Great balance of ingredients, well-seasoned, and very satisfying.

Definitely coming back. Highly recommend!“

“The food here is AMAZING! So much better than their competitors. I got the combo meal and everything tasted great. The staff is so warm and friendly. My new favorite place! Will be coming here often.“

“Enough variety in the menu to keep things interesting. Everything I've ever eaten here has been excellent including some truly amazing soups. The staff is wonderful. What more could anyone want in a restaurant? I love this place!“

“Cheese dog was literally a wrinkled hot dog drowned in nacho cheese sauce. The polish was on a French roll & difficult to bite into. I had it with all the toppings & it was only a few sliced of onions & a few green peppers slices. Not much toppings. I don't recommend those two. Other meals looked good though. Mine were just... disappointing.“

“Discovered this place when I moved to hoffman estates in 2016 and I've enjoyed their food since then. Never had a problem or issue with their food. Great flavor, especially their Tawwa rice. Not a typical place to sit and eat since it's so small. Best to order take out.“

“Nice, clean restaurant and was not too crowded for Sunday dinner except someone's party. Food was okay nothing exceptional that I was anticipating. I have had more tastier Nihari at Usmania, Sabri or Ali Nihari. BBQ was good but karahi needs more reasonable fixing. We liked the paratha poori, Naan and parathas were freshly made and hot to touch. Staff was polite and courteous.
The parking lot needs fixing. We used disability parking but the walkway was so rocky, uneven and so far from the entrance that my dad almost fell with his rollator. It definitely needs fixing before a lawsuit happens“
