Middle Eastern Restaurants near Highland Park, IL

“That place has real tea! In the real teapot. That alone deserved my undying gratitude. Food is amazing, flavored with unique spices that don't overwhelm your palate. I suppose taste could feel unusual for the people unfamiliar with Silk Road cuisine, but that's the beauty of places like that: you can expand your taste without actual travel.“

“This was our first time trying this place! Lamb wrap was superb! So moist and fabulous! Ground kabob was also tasty and a quart of lentil soup actually had pieces of vegetables, which was great! It's on the pricier side than your average middle eastern takeout place, but the food does not taste like your average middle eastern place either.. sooo much better! We also requested some modifications, which they actually did, so that was also pleasant. Girl on the phone was knowledgeable and immediately knew what awesome item to substitute for when they were out of one thing that we ordered. Highly recommend!“

“I didnt have time to eat in so I ordered to pick up. Next time I have to dine in. I ordered the Lamb chops. To my surprise they were the most favorable lamb chops I've ever had. The portion was a nice size enough to share but you might not want to share because they are so good you're going to want to keep it all for yourself. Paired with the fragrant rice, pita, and hummus, this dish was perfect 👌“
