I would love to try this place but they’re closed on weekends which doesn’t make any sense, most people are working on weekdays its a bummer they don’t open on the weekend.

I think they are associated with Chipotle. They give you very little food for the amount of money you spend. They even charge for the sauces. I say, check out crave Kebab in the west loop fabulous food and a good amount of food for your money plus they don't charge for sauces. Plus free parking!

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.

I picked up a catering order from here and the food smells so good. I had to go back. That was a week ago. I went back three times. Me and my daughter loves it. We get the plate.

Good food. Good service. Expensive but worth it. The sauces were great but they charge for those too. Overall a good experience and I will be back

Stopped by the Lincoln Park location and grabbed the OMG Plate, $14 well spent. Chose chicken shawarma, turmeric rice, Mediterranean salad, and hummus. The chicken was juicy and flavorful, the rice perfectly seasoned, and the salad crisp and refreshing. Portion size was generous, and everything was fresh. Service was quick and friendly, making it a great spot for a healthy, satisfying meal.

Cheaper, tastier, and more authentic than Benj Yahuda. The chicken shawarma and the garlic sauce have soooooo much flavor! And the staff is friendly. Heart <3

Olive Mediterranean Grill is my go-to spot when I’m craving something fresh but filling in the Loop. Ordered the chicken shawarma plate ($15) with rice, hummus, and a side of their garlic sauce—absolutely hit the spot. The chicken was juicy and packed with flavor, and the hummus was super creamy. Also grabbed a falafel wrap ($10) for later, and it was just as good. The portions are solid, and the food always tastes fresh. Service is quick, so it's perfect if you’re on a lunch break. If you’re in the area, definitely worth stopping in!

Tasty food, quick service, kind staff. Most of menu is naturally gluten-free and staff is aware of what isn't and will point it out if you ask. No complaints, decent all around.
Restaurant is a bit small but it's more of a "grab and go" place than a sit down establishment.

If i could give this place zero stars i would. The falafel was COLD and chewy. The Tahini sauce was watery and flavourless. I’m so disappointed. Don’t come here.

I am based in the building, and finding halal dining options nearby can be difficult. However, today I decided to try this establishment, and I'm delighted that I did. I opted for a chicken rice bowl with yellow rice, tabbouleh, pita, and hot sauce on the side. The spicy chicken is incredibly flavorful and just the right level of spice. A little pricey for sure though.... But the food is delicious, and the staff is also exceptionally friendly. I'm truly pleased to have come across this gem! Alhamdulillah!

Even though OMG is “chainey”, it is damn good food. The spicy chicken kabob is amazing.

The flavors were so delicious and meat was very tender and juicy. Staff was also kind and very accommodating with my order. I only wanted meat and they had no issues with that!
