This is my go-to stop every time I visit UIUC. No trip feels complete without it. I usually get the shawarma over rice with chicken and steak — an absolute must-try. The portions are incredibly generous; you can easily stretch one meal into lunch and dinner.
Everything tastes fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. It’s the kind of food that hits the spot whether you’re in a rush between classes/meetings or just craving something hearty and healthy.
Overall, it’s a fantastic spot for a quick, satisfying, and wholesome meal. Highly recommend!

This restaurant is one of my favorites in town. Good food, extraordinarily large portions, affordable prices. The tall handsome guy is such an awesome person (he sometimes gives you extra meat / sides, and that’s when you know you’re still loved by this world). They might have upgraded their chicken recipe and now it tastes so good. Would recommend the bowl option!!!!!

High-quality ingredients. Authentic schawarma off the spit. Really delicious.
They give so much food and is a very great spot for students. A great bang for your buck and the 10% student discount on weekdays is also nice.

I went here twice when I was visiting UIUC two years ago. I ended up going to a different college, but I still think about how nice it would have been to have this place nearby. Literally it’s the best shawarma i’ve ever had. I would give it 6 stars if i could.

Food that makes you happy dance it’s so flavorful. Also a diversity of options. Falafel is freshly made for vegetarians. Always excellent customer service.

Unbeatable lunch special. You get enough for 2-3 meals for the price of one, plus discounts for showing student ID. Can't go wrong with any of the protein options here (gyro or chicken are the go-to), and the flexibility of toppings makes it worth repeat visits. If you can't make it during lunch time, the chicken over rice would be my second pick.

Very delicious and authentic. Easily one of the best food options on campus overall and definitely the best for middle eastern food.
