Our server was stoned out of his mind and was being a creep. The food came and was inedible. We decided to just pay the tab and to find another place to eat. I’ve never done that in my entire life. Wouldn’t be surprised if these guys are laundering money. This is honestly the worst restaurant I’ve ever been to.There was one really nice server who really felt bad. He was the only good thing about this place.

This is the most delicious Middle Eastern Food, with the most elegant surroundings and the most hospitable owner and staff. It's reasonable, too.

I just picked this place off Google because it was nearby, open, and had good reviews. I'm so glad I did. The food was great, the service was friendly, and the price was reasonable. The roast lamb shank was tender and delicious. I highly recommend it.

Not only was the food we were able to eat bad (overly salty, not fresh, looked and tasted like some of it came straight out of the Gordon Food Services can), but the manager was beyond rude and combative. I think I would have just held back and just opted not to go back again and not written any review had it not been for the interaction I had with him.Also as a side note.... my order was a take out order. I am so glad I was not in the actual restuarant any sooner than I needed to be to pick up the food as the smell was an awful old and greasy one that sticks to everything.

Love this place!It's a real family restaurant vibe, like there's a grandma in the back making the food (no idea if that's true but that's the sense I get!)Their grilled veggies are perfectly searedChicken is really well spiced & tastyLove me those oregano potato slices The falafel is huge, really dense and really yummy spiced but not dry, which is hard to do Wishing them the best of luck! We will be back!

Our waitress was very friendly and sweet! Food was great! Though I wish their brunch menu had a little more to offer, perhaps more egg options. Going back there soon!

Stopped by here for a late lunch after the Chicago Botanic Garden's orchid show. The waiter/owner(?) suggested the vegetarian platter and mixed grill plate as a good sampling and plenty of food for two. We went with the suggestion and were extremely happy with the food (the dosa / stuffed grape leaves were the best I've had). The chicken was super moist and flavorful but all the meats in the mixed grill plate. We were also given helpful tips to help enjoy the food more. In addition to the food, we also had the house tea (wonderful) and the Turkish coffee (amazing) paired with some light, crisp baklava.Will definitely be back on a future time in the area

Consistently delish! This hidden gem will not disappoint. Mediterranean food done very well. Quit and not rushed. A very relaxed and fine place to enjoy food and hospitality.

We went on a very snowy night when Mr Joseph was very short staffed. Though we had to wait for our food, when it arrived it was outstanding. Mr Joseph could not have been more apologetic. We plan on going back.
