“DELICIOUS!

Based on the name, I assumed this was a kebab fast food (hot dog serving) small, cramped, smoky 1930's Greek restaurant. To my surprise, it is a spacious, well-ventilated, well-lit 2030's sit-down restaurant with absolutely delicious chicken, chick-peas (hummus) and meat-based protein meals, with generous portions of elegantly-prepared rice, salads, nice pita bread, ancient Christian food treasures straddling the fence between south-eastern European and middle-eastern and Asia Minor national palates. Հայկական, Assyrian, Greek, Lebanese Arabic and Persian cuisine-lovers would love the flavors.

They are a great place to rent for graduation parties or baptisms.

I ordered a yogurt-based drink (Karoun, yum), hummus appetizer, French fries (crispy and good as is or with ketchup), then got a delicious chicken and ground meat kebab which came with rice, salad, and several delicious garlic-based and spicy sauces. An hour later I am still energetic and not at all in a food coma.

Great for lunch or dinner, a place to bring family who is visiting from out of town to sate their protein appetite.

I have to visit again to try other dishes and a bunch of salads.

Don't let the location fool you. It is n ot a small place.

This is a roomy place to visit for couples, a family, or a single man or woman looking for a 100% healthy meal that will nourish you for the whole day.

I went on a Sunday after Church and was the only one dining in. The service was nice and generous. The Karoun Yogurt Drink provided a protein boost which is good for the stomach. My family loved it.

One of the most memorable dining experiences, and a top restaurant for serving a hearty, generous meal that tastes better than anything I or you have had in a long while. Take some home to finish it later or get carry out.

Worth every penny. Impressive quality of every food item. Hummus was rich in healthy olive oil. Շատ համով.

5 star food.“

“I came here first time, the meals were so good, I liked it.“

“We always order beef and chicken shawarma because it's consistently good. Tonight , I wanted something like lamb biryani and so the staff recommended Mandi lamb versus mansaf. It's better than I expected- tender lamb meat, rice cooked just right, spices that won't overwhelm your taste buds; the soup , the spicy and white sauce complement the flavors so well . Love it! Definitely worth the trip.“

“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.“

“My son recommended your restaurant to me, so I drove an hour to check it out! The staff was very friendly and the food was SO good! I ordered more food to bring home to my husband. We will definitely be back.“

“Genius level presentation. Amazing flavors. They did it right. I felt like we were in Bodrum at Otantik Ocakbasi. Honestly best I have ever had outside of Turkey. Mashallah, owner and his Brother were so humble and kind. We live in Oak Brook and they are due to open up a spot in Lombard. May Allah grant them continued success.“

“Great selection, reasonable pricing, amazing customer service. 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!!“

“We went there two days ago and had a great experience. The food was excellent, and we left fully satisfied. The variety of dishes was spectacular, especially the classic desserts.

Highly recommend for families! Big shoutout to the chef and the servers for their amazing service.“

“wait time was very minimal. Many food options . Nice Social distance set up.“

“The food here is AMAZING! So much better than their competitors. I got the combo meal and everything tasted great. The staff is so warm and friendly. My new favorite place! Will be coming here often.“

“They have really good food and the portions are worth the price!! Been there twice already.“

“Ordered the lamb kefta kebab with basamati rice, hummus & the salad that came with it had amazing seasoning. Will definitely be back 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“Enough variety in the menu to keep things interesting. Everything I've ever eaten here has been excellent including some truly amazing soups. The staff is wonderful. What more could anyone want in a restaurant? I love this place!“

“Wonderful people, excellent service, great food. Our group just kind of showed up and they had no problem accommodating all of us for lunch. We will definitely be going there again. 14 people in our group and all different food orders, everyone was happy with their food and everything tasted wonderful! Will definitely be going there again!“

“The staff was extremely friendly! That alone will get me to spend my money with you. The food was pretty tasty as well! I started eating it before getting pictures. I had the chicken shawarma wrap, gyro bowl and lemon cilantro fries. It was all good and just what I wanted! Plenty of food left over for tomorrow! Oh and make sure to get the pita bread yum!“

“Hooray - Finally reopened to total YUM!“

“After wonderful service on previous visits, I decided to reserve a table for Mother's Day lunch. Atmosphere and food were fabulous as always. Didn't notice much in the way of their remodel but we liked where we were. Service was ok and could've been a little more attentive to refills and such but they were busy and hustling. We'll definitely be back.“

“We ordered Palak Paneer, Butter Chicken, Chicken Pakoda, and Butter Naan.

The food was delicious, with a great mix of Pakistani and Indian veg and non-veg dishes. The place was clean, and the staff was welcoming and friendly.

One suggestion: they take orders orally, which led to a mistake in our order. It would be better if they wrote orders down to avoid any confusion in the future.

Overall, a good experience with tasty food!“
