Middle Eastern Restaurants near Highland Park, IL

“Mizrahi humus, where have you been all my life? I just had the lucky opportunity to try you for the first time. And now I can never eat any other hummus. This is beyond my favorite. Cannot recommend it enough!“

“Absolutely delicious! I would totally recommend. 🫶🏻“

“I got the combination plate, it was a lot of food and everything was 🔥 they also gave me a scoop of hummus to try which was also good“

“The food is delicious here and the people who work here are even better. I was eating in yesterday and there was a man who came inside who I believe was asking for work- he was washing windows. The owner or manager said they have a company that does it. So he could not give him the business. The man appeared to be a little unkept and possibly struggling. The owner asked if he was hungry and the man replied yes, he ended up making him fresh food and he left with a bag of food and some water. This interaction was so special and I truly hope their kindness is delivered back to them indefinitely. Please support this local business and kind individuals who make our world a better, softer, kinder place to be in! EAT HERE!“

“Good food and good service I hope keep the good luck and good jobs“

I can't tell you i have ever met someone who took so much pride in there job. He has nailed my order everytime & has taught all the other employees I am lucky to have found this little gem!“

“I took my family for lunch, we were found Afghan Kabab one of the most delicious restaurants, serving authentic Afghan kebabs, manto , Ashak, karayee and other yummy items. My kids loved it and we highly recommend this amazing place.
Thank you Afghan Kabab!“

“What a fantastic dinner. They walked around giving you cardamom coffee. Delicious and hummus plate with babaganous. So creamy and flavorful. Also they started you with eggplant dip and pickled vegetables with pita chips flavored with zatar. We ordered the potatoe garlic dip. Yes, that garlic burned my mouth but that's what's it's supposed to do. If you don't like garlic order something else. We split the kabobs platter. 2 different rices. We had lamb, chicken and sausage. All the food tasted fresh and succulent. I forgot pictures this time.. but we will definitely be back with a bigger group to try more. Ohhh I forgot their pita!! Best I've ever had. Fantastic service too. Please forgive all my spelling!!“

“11/10 experience here
Have been here a few times but most recently went back and the quality remains top tier
The pitas are always fluffy and delicious
The middle eastern pickles are just right, not the classic American kind
Super clean restaurant, super friendly staff and some of the best food around

“ordered a large order. they provided lots of sauce but forgot two main courses. instead of saying oh well and hanging up they went out of the way to bring us the items and a treat of baklava. this business has always been great and make all customers feel valued“

“Take it easy Mendel – You aren’t in Crown Heights anymore and you sure as heck ain’t in Kew Garden Hills. I want to give Taboun Grill 5 Stars – But, I would be telling the truth and that just isn’t right for this Tzadik/Mensch. We enjoyed our meal and particularly enjoyed the appetizers. My Goyish friend – who considers himself Israeli commented that the Hummus was watery. I have to agree with him! ;-) – Service – from our Wonderful/Beautiful Romanian Waitress was on point; - Our water was always kept topped off and the Kitchen ran efficiently and expeditiously to deliver the food to the tables in a timely fashion; - Restaurant was busy – not mobbed; - which is a good thing. Interesting take on the Laffa – I enjoyed my meal and left with a full belly. Highlight of the Restaurant was the incredibly Judaica artwork that adorns the walls. I hope they are selling these pieces – because they were gorgeous – just lovely. You definitely felt like you were in an Israeli/Middle Eastern Restaurant – Tables were comfortable and you didn’t feel crammed inside – like you would at Grill Point; But – this wasn’t Grill Point (Kew Garden Hills, Queens) – Lots of Yentahs and Mitzvah boys. Enjoyed it and would definitely recommend. Enjoyable meal with great food! Price was reasonable for a Kosher Restaurant.“

“Miraj Restaurant is absolutely excellent! The food is flavorful, fresh, and beautifully prepared — every dish tastes authentic and made with care. The portions are generous, and the menu has a great variety of options, so there’s something for everyone.

The staff is warm, attentive, and always makes you feel welcome. The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable, perfect for both casual meals and special occasions. Overall, Miraj delivers top-quality food and service every time — a definite five-star experience!“

“This restaurant is good and offers the most delicious and tasty food and fresh juices. I recommend it.“

“Such a beautiful place and such a beautiful reminder of homesick people like me :) Loved the Adeni Chai really good on the cinnamon. Visited early morning when it’s not busy so the atmosphere was very quiet. Love not having to drive all the way to Bridgeview to get some bomb chai!!“
