The chicken and gyros platter is outstanding. One of my favorite meals in the area. The lunch special is a wonderful hidden gem of a deal these days. I definitely recommend this place. I’m excited to try the burger and more things on the menu. I can appreciate they serve halal meat and you can tell it’s all made with care and quality.

I’ve been to Falafil Hut a few times now, and while there’s a lot to love, there are definitely a few things to be aware of before you go.
First off, service can be slow. Even when you're quoted a time for your order, expect to wait a little longer than that. It’s not a deal-breaker, but definitely noticeable. Also, they tend to run out of some menu items earlier in the day, so if there’s something specific you’re craving, it’s better to order earlier rather than later.
The space inside is really small and can feel pretty cramped, so I’d recommend ordering to go if you’re not a fan of tight spots. It’s not the kind of place where you’d want to hang out and eat if you're looking for a relaxed dine-in vibe. And with their limited hours, planning ahead is key.
Now, the good stuff — and there’s plenty. The food here is consistently tasty. I had the burger and tawa rice and both were flavorful, served warm, and the portions were generous for the price. A highlight for me is the garlic mayo — seriously good. I actually recommend mixing it into your tawa rice for an extra layer of flavor.
Another plus: there’s usually plenty of parking available right outside, which makes pickup super convenient.
Overall, while there are a few quirks to keep in mind, Falafil Hut delivers where it matters most — great food at a solid value. Just make sure to get your order in early and bring a little patience with you.

The Tawa chicken rice was delicious! They use quality ingredients, especially the basmati rice. It's a small, cozy place, good for takeout or a quick bite at one of their few tables. The only thing that stood out was the pricing. It felt quite expensive for a casual, to-go spot. The prices seemed more in line with a fine dining restaurant.

The establishment provided excellent service and exceptional cuisine; however, the limited seating capacity and absence of air conditioning resulted in an uncomfortable environment.

Honestly the best burger. I always come here whenever I'm in town. My go-to order is the double cheeseburger or regular cheeseburger and add spicy gyro. The burgers never miss, always 10/10, highly recommend.

Got the double burger with spicy gyro meat. It was delicious. One of the best burgers I've had in a while. Gf got the chicken shwarma and gyro platter. Very good. Rice was very tasty. Customer service could be a little better and it's better for take out than dining in. Only 2 tables to sit at. Pop was generic. Worst thing, no falafal. Cmon! Its in the name. Overall still very very good. I will be back!!

The price when you order on their website doesn’t reflect the price you pay when you go pick it up in person. I called to ask why and the guy just said they charge extra for card payment and when I asked why the price didn’t include that online after I clicked “card at pickup counter”, he didn’t have an answer. I think you guys should fix that. It feels a bit scammy getting charged more than what you expected.

I had chicken hummus bowl was average taste . It was salty and no other taste . Need improvement.
The food is good, but their time management and service are very slow. It takes roughly 40 minutes to get a burger, especially during lunch hours when time is limited. Waiting 35 to 40 minutes for a burger is just too long. They really need to improve their service.

They have the best halal burgers in all of Chicago land. The burgers might be pricy, but in my opinion worth it. Try the double stack Chipotle burger with spicy gyros topping.

Absolutely blown away by the triple patty burger—juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Every bite was stacked with deliciousness, and the quality was top-tier. To top it off, they threw in fries for free, which were crispy and perfectly seasoned. Amazing food and even better hospitality. I’ll definitely be coming back!
Great food. Great family
