“First time having dinner here and it was so good. Fast service and nice atmosphere. Looking forward to coming back!“

“Food was over all nice tasting, service was good too. Bread could have been warmer,. Baklava, fillet mignon kabab entrée and hummus were fresh and delicious. Entrées need homemade sauces and not commercial hot sauce or Sriracha sauce. My tabbouleh had gravels in it, could not eat it.“

“The shawarma is my favorite thing on the menu 👍“

“Absolutely amazing spot if you love shawarma! Have been coming here for years and every time it's just incredible! Flavor profiles through the roof and I'm always scarfing it down bc it's like I'm chasing the next bite.. and the best part is their portions of food, literally last me for at least two full meals. Falafel, lentil soup, Jerusalem salad, the sensationably seasoned and crisped french fries etc etc... pick and choose your destiny and I promise there is no wrong path 🔥🔥🔥 Thank you as always for your incredible service Best Shawarma 🙏“

“First time eating here n it was good… will be stopping here again“

“So I’ve been at this place a lot of times and it’s great! The food is great but the wings are a bit too salty and yea it’s great. Sometimes the workers ignore you but it’s not that deep. I love that there is some comedy to watch. But the place is real crowded on the weekend so e sure to come early. There isn’t that much outlets as well for me to charge my phone.“

“Best middle eastern restaurant in Chicago“

“Tasty shawarma and excellent service. Reasonable prices in addition make it a great choice for a casual meal or take out. Has room for improvement when it comes to decor. That said, I'll take the excellent food at this spot any day over a restaurant with great interior design and average food.

Recommend and will visit again!“

“This Naf Naf location was an awesome experience! My Fiancé and I have never been before and Evan was super helpful in introducing us to all the menu items, giving great recommendations and showing us basic steps on how to start an order. We will definitely be going back!“

“Very friendly service! Was able to sample some of the food items ( Thanks Souna!, forgive the misspelling) Food is very fresh and the large Kabob plate is delicious and very plentiful. Love the Falafel and the Kibbeh was good. Really good is the Arabic pizza the cheese and grilled veggie one. I will be returning!“

““I recently tried this shawarma place, and it really hit the spot! The meat was juicy, perfectly seasoned, and had that delicious, authentic flavor that’s hard to find. Generous portion sizes and good value for money too. Highly recommend it if you’re craving some quality shawarma!”“

“Good food. very fresh and excellent flavor. clean and inviting atmosphere.“

“My partner and I enjoyed a delightful weekday evening dinner, and the experience was extraordinary from the moment we sat down. The flavors and aromas were so inviting, they hit us even before the main dish arrived. We started with Mazza, which featured the creamiest hummus and a smoky, perfectly roasted eggplant baba ghannooj. The falafels were the highlight—simply the best I've ever had, like the perfect cherry on top of a sundae. As for the Mansaf, it was nothing short of exceptional. The rich yogurt sauce, tender lamb, crunchy almonds, and flawlessly cooked rice made for a dish that was out of this world. It was so good, I couldn't resist having the leftovers for breakfast the next day. The service was top-notch, and even though we live over two hours away, we’ll definitely be coming back.“

“You know why I frequent Alwatan Bakery? Insha’Allah “God wills it” Their halal food is the best, I go there frequently for breakfast. I wouldn’t give that McDonald’s crap, or any other fast food to an abandoned starving stray dog on the street.“

“one of the best restaurants i’ve ever eaten at ❤️ delicious food, cozy interior, and friendly service, will definitely be coming back!!

Vegetarian options: they have a menu section of completely vegetarian dishes, many of which can also be made vegan

Dietary restrictions: they have clearly labeled vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options“

“Yay can’t miss lamb mandi“

“This was my first time visiting Al Badia when I first walked in, I was welcome by all the staff with smiles on their face, amazing attitude vibe and the spirit in the restaurant was amazing. The food was top notch. Amazing selection in the buffet. They have a lot of variety of different foods. All of them were good and amazing. Will definitely recommend to family and friends and will be back soon. Thank you to Abu Ali he was amazing and very friendly and respectful thank you so much!“

“we are disappointed with our order. The food was cold, the falafel was not fresh, and you changed grilled kuba with fried kuba which was also overpriced, and the pit bread not fresh“
