“Lunch here was honestly so good I’m already planning my next trip. It’s totally no frills just a simple counter serve spot and I love that about it. Got the chicken shawarma wrap plus a side of lentil soup and everything hit exactly right. The wrap was packed full meat was juicy and had such good seasoning and the garlic sauce was chef’s fr. Soup was super comforting squeeze a little lemon in and it’s perfect. The people working there were so sweet and moved quick even when it got busy. Portions are huge and prices are crazy fair for how fresh everything tastes.”

2 Beity - West Loop

“I was really excited to try Beity, especially since it’s Michelin Guide recommended and offers a modern take on Lebanese food. The hummus was definitely the highlight for me. It was incredibly smooth and delicious — probably one of the best hummus I’ve had. We also tried the cauliflower. It was good, but nothing really stood out to me. It was basically fried cauliflower with tahini and sauce, so I was expecting a little more flavor from it. The shish barak was a little disappointing. The meat inside the dumplings was slightly hard, which took away from the dish for me. The most interesting dish was the molokhia. Being Middle Eastern and growing up eating molokhia, I definitely had a different expectation. Usually the molokhia itself is the star and you eat it with rice. Here, it was more of a sauce underneath a pastry filled with chicken, rice, and caramelized onions. The molokhia itself tasted phenomenal, and I really liked the chicken and rice too, but I personally didn’t think all the flavors worked together. The molokhia almost got lost underneath everything else, and I didn’t feel like its flavor paired well with the pastry, chicken, rice, and caramelized onions. Overall, I appreciate the creativity and the modern take on traditional Lebanese dishes. There were definitely things I enjoyed, especially the hummus, but a few dishes didn’t quite work for me.”

“My daughter who is living in Asia tracked down this place for me (well, actually she wanted to eat there vicariously)and it was a great find. She asked me how I would rate the food (1-10) and when I said 10, she was impressed since I am not a foodie. Food just doesn't do it for me well.. until this meal. It started with me picking up the meal. The family who own this gem are so generous, so welcoming that I stayed talking to them longer than my dogs, who were waiting outside, would have liked. When I arrived home, the lentil soup was stilling piping hot and wow, so delicious. I am not a lentil soup, or even soup, person but I am definitely returning for more. The sauteed spinach with bulgar was well-yeah, I would definitely eat bulgar all the time if it tasted like this. As it turns out, there was so much food that I have a second meal. Thank you for this great meal and the welcoming. I, and people I know, will be there.”

“The atmosphere is bright, clean, and welcoming. The owner and staff are great and the food is delicious! I love the picture of the owner's family on the walls. Her recipes are from her mother and grandmothers, and those women must have known how to cook and pass down tradition because the food here is fantastic!”
