The food was delicious, Chicken Kabob, salad and rice and Falafel. But take into consideration if you do not want to be in a 'smoking' environment. Mostly everyone was smoking cigarettes along with hookah bong-pipes. Lots of that smoke to breathe in while you're eating...

This place will be my favorite in Chicago!The staff are very friendly. The Iraqi men working there welcomed us when we arrived and gave us a nice table.I went there on Saturday night, when had a DJ which was amazing!They have a charge to enter the DJ night, but they have it included with a great appetizer.The mixed grill was delicious, but the rice was not that good. The fried was good and the hummus was as well.The Dolma “ grape leaves” were not good, unfortunately!The hookah was good and clean

I have to give credit where credit is due, the food is quite enjoyable and tasty. My issues with this place stem from the shady customer service and their tendency to unfairly up-charge their customers. All prices on their menu are at least $5 under what they will charge you, they will serve and charge for bottled water without prompting, and when they served me rice instead of the fries I asked for with my meal, they made me pay for $10 for a little basket of mid fries. When I confronted the staff about the issue I obviously had with that, they claimed fries did not come with the meal, despite the menu clearly stating it did. The staff does not speak English and would not even try to understand when I tried explaining my issue with that, and claimed that there was no error and refused to back down. I had half the mind to just leave without paying but instead I hope this review will dissuade people from giving this place their money.

Absolutely love this place after the new management —food is so good, cheap, open late, friendly staff. Owner is amazing!
The food here is home cooked and seriously my favorite Mediterranean dishes. Their Kuba, grilled chicken, fat push or taboleh salads are all AMAZING! Highly recommend

I walked in and was hit with a heavy haze of cigarette smoke in the atmosphere, which tells me there was no air circulation. I ask for a menu, and the man at the counter gives me one and then walks away. Another man approaches and asks me what I'd like from the menu, I choose an entree, and then he charges me $3 more than what it states on the menu. I pay and was told it will take 10 minutes. I said I'll be back in as I immediately left the establishment which looked sketchy from the hookas to the barred front door, from the heavy smoke, which made me dizzy and stained my clothing, to the small portioned entree that cost $20 (not 17, as it states on the menu) ? I made the mistake of coming here. I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemies ? (Photo of my hand in comparison to the "entree."

They definitely overcharge, at least according to their online prices. Beware.
