This is a nice Mediterranean reataurant in downtown Evanston. The inside of the restaurant was clean, but the pop music they were playing seemed a little out of place to me. It was not so loud that you could not easily have a conversation with those at your table. The food is all cooked fresh, so unless you are ordering the gyro that is already on the spit, you will have to wait for your food to be prepared. The meats are all very well seasoned and well cooked. It was tender and not overcooked. The rice with the pkates/platters you have the option of regular or spicy. I chose the spicy rice, and it does have a bite to it but not overly spicy. The Baba ganoush is very smokey tasting but was a very nice compliment to the meats. The tabouleh was very fresh and flavorful. The white sauce didn't have a lot of flavor to it. I am used to the white sauces being very heavy in garlic at other restaurants, but this one tasted more like thinned down mayonnaise with a hint of garlic. Their hot sauce is very spicy. I thoroughly enjoyed using their hot sauce, but if you aren't used to heat, use it very sparingly. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant and plan to return in the future.

This is one of the best Mediterranean food I’ve ever had, certainly the best one in Evanston by far. Food is absolutely delicious, and the service is what makes them really different. The guy that is usually there at night is so nice, helpful and makes you feel so welcomed in the place. Their lentils soup is the highlight for me, I’m obsessed, still everything is great, price is fair… I totally recommend it.

Solid Mediterranean food, nice falafels. Not fine dining, but plenty of space if you want to eat in.

Excellent place in Evanston. Great food. Quantity is great. Always fresh and the white sauce is delicious. Bathrooms are clean. Tea was just what we always needs after a long day and fulfilling dinner. Go to place on any day of the week.

The food was phenomenal. The prices might seem a bit high but the portions and quality more than justify it.

Tasty food and generous portions. Two of us split a large lentil soup and the “Habibi Plate” which had outstanding grilled meats (ground beef kabob, chicken breast kabob, lamb, and gyro meat), 2 kinds of rice, grilled peppers, tomato, and 3 salads. All delicious!
