“The wraps and falafels tasted great—thank you, chef! The food is definitely the highlight here, even if it is a little bit pricey. However, the atmosphere was pretty boring since there was no music playing, and the lady who took our order looked annoyed and not happy to be there. Come for the great food, but don't expect much of an experience.“

Also the fatoush was juicy, yummy and had a hint of sour to it, Helen's customer service was sweet and friendly! that was one of the most delicious middle eastern foods I've tried in America so far. I recommend trying it out if you haven't yet!!“

“The wife and I went back to the old neighborhood to visit somebody at the hospital driving around we found modern plate. We figure we’d give it a try. There is no doubt in my mind that this place eventually will be a five star restaurant. The food was phenomenal service atmosphere But I will tell you this much. Don’t go there with your good. Looks thinking you’re gonna buy something bring your cash, but it’s well worth it. The wife and I cannot wait to go back to try something else.“

“Amazing experience with Usuf who served us and attended us very friendly highly recommend“

“Amazing experience! The service was top-notch—friendly, attentive, and always with a smile. You can tell they genuinely care about customers.

The food was just as impressive—super fresh and full of flavor. I ordered two bowls: the Harissa Chopped Salad and the Mezze Protein Bowl, and both were absolutely delicious. Great balance of ingredients, well-seasoned, and very satisfying.

Definitely coming back. Highly recommend!“

“Stopped here for breakfast, 1st time and I would definitely recommend it. The service was excellent and the food was great (real, fresh, hot, cooked to order)! I had the sampler with oatmeal pancakes and they were delicious!!! My other options included the chicken avocado crepe and Mediterranean omelette. The coffee was good, it came to the table in its own thermal to stay hot. I highly recommend!!“

“Cheese dog was literally a wrinkled hot dog drowned in nacho cheese sauce. The polish was on a French roll & difficult to bite into. I had it with all the toppings & it was only a few sliced of onions & a few green peppers slices. Not much toppings. I don't recommend those two. Other meals looked good though. Mine were just... disappointing.“

“Everything was absolutely delicious. Thank you, Luis, for the excellent service. I wouldn’t recommend the tacos, but the pizza, burger, and salad we ordered were all very delicious.

There was just one issue — the host’s attitude. She initially tried to seat us with our children in a corner near the kitchen. We asked for a different table, but she insisted there was no other space for strollers. In the end, we found a suitable spot ourselves and were able to sit comfortably with our strollers.“

“Exceptional experience. This was a 5 star experience. I’m surprised at some of the other ratings. The food was fresh and delicious. Service was polite, helpful, and kind. Portions were generous. Very generous. I ordered a plate with filet mignon and lamb and they gave me a good amount of meat.

We had 4 adults and 2 kids, and I am very happy with the experience. Thank you for the wonderful meal.“

“Discovered this place when I moved to hoffman estates in 2016 and I've enjoyed their food since then. Never had a problem or issue with their food. Great flavor, especially their Tawwa rice. Not a typical place to sit and eat since it's so small. Best to order take out.“

“Nice, clean restaurant and was not too crowded for Sunday dinner except someone's party. Food was okay nothing exceptional that I was anticipating. I have had more tastier Nihari at Usmania, Sabri or Ali Nihari. BBQ was good but karahi needs more reasonable fixing. We liked the paratha poori, Naan and parathas were freshly made and hot to touch. Staff was polite and courteous.
The parking lot needs fixing. We used disability parking but the walkway was so rocky, uneven and so far from the entrance that my dad almost fell with his rollator. It definitely needs fixing before a lawsuit happens“

“Hooray - Finally reopened to total YUM!“
