“Went tonight on a whim for dinner and I’ll just say this place was spectacular! Without even knowing anything about this restaurant in advance, and in town from Pittsburgh for a youth hockey tournament, we happened to drive by and decided to stop and eat there. Walking in the atmosphere was fantastic and the service was spectacular. We sat at the bar, had a few cocktails, unbelievable appetizers, terrific meals for dinner followed by the most amazing desserts ever. While we were there, we had an opportunity to meet and chat with the owner for a little while. Always a pleasure to talk to someone that is passionate about what they do and appreciates both their employees and customers. It was a fantastic dining experience and I highly recommend this place. Thank you Ted for your hospitality.“

“I never had kabobs presented on skewers like at Reef Kabob; such fun! Excellent hummas and tabular salad. The most gracious staff!“

“My husband and I were very impressed with the food. It's made fresh and is delicious. The fries tasted great and were not greasy. My husband had a huge delicious hamburger that he couldn't finish in one sitting. I had the steak shawarma which I enjoyed very much. We sat outside because the weather was perfect for it. The people working there were friendly and polite. We were definitely impressed.“

“The food was so good but a bit pricey. The service was excellent. We enjoyed the ribs.

It was frustrating that seats are first come first served. I wish they would take reservations ahead of time. We decided to stop before our flight and it took way longer than expected.“

The way Amina and the rest of the staff recognize us it’s just so heartwarming, they make us feel like family. We are so happy when we’re here and leave even happier with a full belly. Thank you Amina and staff for an amazing experience as always! You guys are amazing! We travel an hour to eat here so that tells you how delicious the food is but the service makes it even better. We love you Baba Saj Oak Lawn“

“I was scrolling Grubhub then decided I deserved better than fast food that’s going to be delivered cold. So went to Google and saw this place which I pass almost everyday without thought. I wish I caught my waiters name but he was a pleasure and very attentive. The fried octopus was unique and flavorful. Short rib wasn’t as tender as advertised but still quite delicious. I got a sample of the lobster bisque which honestly tasted like tomato soup to me. The bread pudding was excellent. I appreciate the balance and gelato on top. I got the mezcal cocktail which was also great. Also ordered tequila on the rocks. I was given a complimentary shot of the pistachio martini which was delicious. Overall ambience was lovely. You can have a great date night right in the burbs. Who knew? Overall, can’t wait to visit again to try different apps and their pasta. All of that was around $140 including 20% tip.“

“Delightful food choices that are always tasty“

“La Parra is an authentic restaurant. Each time I go, I try something different, because I know they won't disappoint me. Everything tastes great and the staff are extremely attentive.“

“I have used Alrayes catering more than once over the years. The food is excellent and it’s great that they deliver as well. The communication with Shaimaa is always easy and flexible. There is great variety on the menu for every occasion. I definitely recommended Alrayes for anyone looking for quality food and great service“

“saw it as driving to get my car wash & decided to check it out / went thru drive thru got the bowl chicken and steak it was delicious“

“My partner and I enjoyed a delightful weekday evening dinner, and the experience was extraordinary from the moment we sat down. The flavors and aromas were so inviting, they hit us even before the main dish arrived. We started with Mazza, which featured the creamiest hummus and a smoky, perfectly roasted eggplant baba ghannooj. The falafels were the highlight—simply the best I've ever had, like the perfect cherry on top of a sundae. As for the Mansaf, it was nothing short of exceptional. The rich yogurt sauce, tender lamb, crunchy almonds, and flawlessly cooked rice made for a dish that was out of this world. It was so good, I couldn't resist having the leftovers for breakfast the next day. The service was top-notch, and even though we live over two hours away, we’ll definitely be coming back.“

“Perfect taste and super service 😍“

“I just picked up falafel and baba ghanouj and it has to be the best falafel I’ve ever had. I was coming back from Skokie and I wanted to go to Pita Inn on Dempster and it was too busy but I did not miss anything - this is better!“

“Petra Falafel is my favorite Middle Eastern restaurant in the area. Their chicken shawarma platter is a masterpiece, and the garlic, jalapeno, and habanero sauces are very tasty, be sure to order extras! Their portions are generous, often leaving me with leftovers for at least another full meal. The staff is always friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. We always order for pick up, but they do have a dining area and I believe they are also BYOB. Next time you are craving falafel, baba ghanoush or shawarma give Petra Falafel a try - you will not be disappointed!“

“Update Jan 2026:
I have updated my rating because you have mentioned that Water is going to be available in all stores.

2025
You have a sit in restaurant and you don't have free water. Shame on you for not following the basics of Islam and trying to make money on the name of Halal. I even asked the cashier to give tap water and they said that they do not have cups. I will adjust this post if I see any improvement during my next visit and please do not post an AI generated response from ChatGPT. The ask and task is pretty straightforward.“

“I love alasala the food is wonderful and super clean. It feels like im eating in jordan with the fresh ingredients and amazing seasonings. I absolutely love bringing people here just from how beautiful the restaurant is and the service is always wonderful. The place is always clean and super friendly to me and my guests. Could not recommend this place more.“

“First time having dinner here and it was so good. Fast service and nice atmosphere. Looking forward to coming back!“

“Had an amazing lunch!!! Food selection is amazing. I wound up with the Tuna Poke Bowl and it didn’t disappoint. Our waitstaff was attentive to detail. I am not a big dessert person when I go out, but the Key Lime Pie was calling our names. SOOOOO good!!! Thank you for a great meal. We will be back very soon.“

“I’m rating this place 5 stars. The food is so authentic and fresh. We came here on a cold day and had the Harrira soup and it was so soothing and tasty .

I would highly recommend ordering the lamb tagine, roasted potatoes and the Harrira soup. Honestly everything was amazing , we will definitely be coming back.“

“Place is spacious, service was a little slow. Food could use some help. Octopus cooked very well but cold, pasta was Inedible, seafood pot was over cooked. Got the chocolate bar and tiramisu both very good.“

“Excellent food for dine in and creative, well presented catering service options. Karim worked with me to create a menu that our guests loved.“

“Great selection of American & Mediterranean. Falafel plate & Kefta kabobs were fantastic & prepared fresh. Unexpected array of dessert options, as well. Win!“

“Kefi has some of the most delicious Greek food in the Chicago suburbs! The lamb chops, souvlaki, and gyros are phenomenal and so are the moussaka, pastitsio, and spanakopita. When it comes to appetizers, you can’t go wrong with the flaming saganaki cheese, the grilled octopus the fried calamari, the loukaniko sausage, or the taramasalata. Don’t forget dessert! Try the baklava, galaktabouriko, and the chocolate cake! They have amazing drinks too! The employees there are very kind and friendly and the chefs really know how to cook! Eat at Kefi! You won’t be disappointed!“

“This place *never* lets us down. The food is delicious, fresh and just so tasty. Their hummus is the BEST- they add some delicious garnishes on it. Best hummus I’ve ever had. Just too good and reliable. My kids love it too which is great.“

“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.“

“Excellent in every way! Meatball appetizer was superb!! Carbonerra was authentically made. Friendly, efficient service. Don't forget the Gelato and bread pudding. We will return!“

“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!!“

“is a good place for eat healthy.“

“Absolutely loved this place! We were recommended by multiple friends. The food was incredibly flavorful and clearly made with care everything tasted fresh, well-seasoned, and authentic. The meats were tender, the portions generous, and the sides were just as memorable as the mains. The refreshing mint lemonade needs a special shout out!!!! The atmosphere was welcoming and cozy, and the staff were friendly, attentive, and happy to explain dishes or make recommendations. You can really feel the pride they take in their food and hospitality. This is the kind of spot you come back to again and again—highly recommend for anyone craving comforting, delicious Middle Eastern cuisine.

Edit: I woke up missing the food I ate last night. Even the water there is good. They have crunchy ice. 10/10, do yourself a favor and go.“

“Hooray - Finally reopened to total YUM!“

“I love this place! Food is always tasty. Prices are reasonable. Drinks are strong. My favorite is the chicken noodle-tastes just like grandmas! Brussels sprouts a close 2nd. Nordstrom is my favorite store, love shopping and finishing up with a tasty meal. Service can be a bit slow.“

“Food is amazing. Beautiful setting, specifically love the lighting above the tables. Service is great. We kind of went in blind to the foods and were given samples to make sure we understood what certain breads were, etc...

The owner came over to say hello and chat. He mentioned choosing to feed those in need regardless of their circumstance. I am thrilled to support a business that chooses morals over money and compassion over cash.

We will be adding this to our rotation and are so thankful for the patience and care in teaching us about the food of Palestine.

My kids basically live off chicken tenders and fries, so watching them have bowls, plural, of lentil soup was the icing on the cake.“
