It's like a mom and pop Roti. Highly underrated. So good. More people need to check out this place. It's excellent.

Finally got to check out this place in the Loop. It seemed like it was always closed, but they've been open more often recently. Nesh has a lot of counter service Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food such as falafel and shawarma. Make an order and get it fast. The prices aren't that cheap, but not that bad for around here for the most part. Came at lunch to get some falafel. It's a pretty limited time you can come here. This place is only open weekdays. One of those places that's order at the counter. Seems pretty casual, but the food is better than that. It's about $11 for a typical wrap or something. The signature item is the Shawafel Shrock, which is a big wrap. Has a lot in it. There's falafel, and they typically put steak. If wanting to get it vegetarian, they put in more falafel. There's typical toppings like Jerusalem salad, onions, and pickles. Also whatever else to put on it. They also have loaded fries with Mediterranean types of stuff. Good place to come in at lunch for a casual bite. It's pretty easy to make an order, and it's usually fast getting it. There's meaty items like steak, and vegetarians can get falafel and whatever other toppings.

I have been going to this place for years before pandemics. I always loved the food and I think they have one of the best falafel in the Chicago area. Last week we had a big event and we catered food from them for more than 60 people. We all loved the food. The quality of the meat was fantastic. Also, the vegetarian section was fantastic. Baba Ganoush was a very popular dish.

Absolutely the best middle eastern food ever. If you love Baba Ganoush which is not smooth but chunky and smoky, like how it should be as well as amazing Hummus, Pita, Grilled Vegetables and salads, this is a must visit place. My meat eating colleagues also raved about the Beef and Chicken bein extremely moist and flavourful.

The staff was very nice, the service was quick and the ambiance was nice. This review is exclusively for the food: eh. I have eaten a lot of Mediterranean in my lifetime and this place is definitely just OK. I got the wrap, and because the pita is so thin it gets soggy very quickly. The food is super salty so it sort of just tastes like a flavored sodium bomb.

Nesh is back OPEN and better than ever!! I’m so excited to have one of my favorites back. Everything is good here. And they offer spicy hummus and grilled vegetable skewers that I don’t find often. Love it

My favorite Mediterranean restaurant in the Loop (and the best one, IMO). Their spicy humus is delicious; I like to have this with their pita chips. Very flavorful. Food is fresh and portions are a good size. They have vegetarian options. I would also recommend their Jerusalem salad and the baba ganoush. I was so happy to see they reopened.Vegetarian options: Falafel, Hummus, Jerusalem salad, Baba Ganoush.

I was on my way to Equinox in the morning, and I was surprised to see someone was preparing pita from scratch that early in the morning. Decided to try this place for lunch and it was absolutely delicious and fresh!!!
Not bad food. Give it a try if you are seeking a place to try food.

I can't speak for the food because I didn't try. Mint Lemonade may be my new addiction. I have walked by for weeks admiring the picture on the window. Yesterday was my 1st visit and I'm so happy I tried! It's the equivalent of mojito lemonade. It was everything I hoped it would be. Thank you so much, I will be back!

The food is good. I love their wraps and pita is good quality that doesn't fall apart. I also love that they carry Kibbeh! You can add any kind of ingredients you wish on sandwiches and salads.

I liked the cafe. Good that they have porcelain plates and stainless steel cutlery for eating in there. Less one-off plastic pollution.
