“We happened to stop in today. The lentil soup and lamb shish kabob were delicious! The falafel were crispy and flavorful. On the way out we picked up the Traditional Baklava sampler and it was very tasty too! We will definitely be back soon!“

“homestyle burgers, very clean and delicious food. mom and pop shop. I’d rather give them my business than a big chain any day!“

“Hello Shawarma in Lombard absolutely delivers when it comes to the food! The mansaf and shawarma were amazing and easily the highlights of our meal. This is the kind of food that makes you want to come back and try more of the menu. We really enjoyed everything, and if you’re a lamb fan, I would highly recommend anything with lamb. That would definitely be my first choice on a return visit!

The mansaf deserves a special shout-out—it was a standout dish and something I would happily order again. The shawarma was just as impressive. Both made the visit worthwhile, and I’d recommend coming hungry so you can try a few different things. There’s too much good food here to limit yourself to just one dish!

The fries were okay, but with how much we enjoyed the rest of the meal, they weren’t what stood out. My only real complaint was the service, which was extremely slow. Definitely an area that needs improvement, because the food deserves a dining experience that matches it.

Even with the wait, I would absolutely come back for the food. If you’re looking for great shawarma, amazing mansaf, or love lamb, Hello Shawarma is well worth a visit. Highly recommend!“

“I am one of the coaches for the Northern Michigan University Men’s Soccer team, and we recently had an amazing experience at this CAVA location in Des Plaines.

When our team is on the road, efficiency is extremely important, and we truly appreciate restaurants that are flexible and willing to work with large groups and unique team needs.

Marri, the GM and the entire staff provided exceptional service. We traveled with a group of 28 people and worked directly with Marri to coordinate a pre order for our team. We were able to send an Excel spreadsheet with everyone’s specific individual orders, and the staff had everything prepared, organized, and ready to go by the time we arrived to dine in. This made the entire process incredibly easy and efficient for our team.

On top of the outstanding service, the food was high quality, tasted great, and provided a top meal for our players the day before a game.

Marri and the entire CAVA team went above and beyond to accommodate our group, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. We are extremely grateful for their hospitality and professionalism and would highly recommend this location to everyone, especially large groups traveling through the area.

Thank you again to Marri and the entire staff for taking such great care of our team!“

“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.“

“Delicious food. The restaurant is small but food is great.“

“Absolutely loved Yummi Wraps on Main Street in Woodridge. The place is spotless, the food is incredibly fresh, and they make everything right in front of you. Lots of great vegetarian and non-veg
options too, which was perfect for us. The people working there were so friendly and welcoming. Overall, a wonderful experience ; fresh, clean, tasty, and super friendly. Highly recommend it.
Will surely visit again soon.“

“I have to say that this is one of the best restaurants I have ever been to!! Sooooo delicious and flavorful!! I got the gyro plate which came with rice, salad, hummus and pita bread. My partner got the kabob plate and it came with the same sides. They put a lot on the plate too!! They also have a pizza section which i would like to try next, im sure it just as delicious! I can't wait to come here again.“

“The best food & Staff very yummy 😋“

“Stopped by Taktuka Moroccan Kitchen for the first time and was seriously impressed. I ordered the lamb shank tagine, and it was absolutely incredible. The meat was fall-off-the-bone tender, the sauce was rich and full of authentic Moroccan flavors, and every bite was delicious. You can tell everything is made with care. Great service, cozy atmosphere, and one of the best tagines I’ve ever had. I’ll definitely be back!❤“

“What an amazing experience! The food was absolutely delicious, and every dish exceeded our expectations. Aimee, our server, was fantastic, attentive, friendly, and truly made the evening special. The combination of outstanding service and incredible food makes this place a must-visit. My favorite fish was the gnocchi and the prime rib. I highly recommend it and will definitely be back. We absolutely love this place!“

“Tried this place for the first time and got the kufta kabob pita + regular fries and the garlic sauce. Food was cooked fresh to table—delicious! Received kind and fast service and the dining area was pretty clean! Will be back to try the Fill A Bowl and take advantage of their affordable $10:99 lunch special from 10:30-2pm! :)“

“I came here first time, the meals were so good, I liked it.“

“My son recommended your restaurant to me, so I drove an hour to check it out! The staff was very friendly and the food was SO good! I ordered more food to bring home to my husband. We will definitely be back.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“I love this place, it’s my favorite!“

“The absolute best casual dining restaurant around. Maddie, Zenia and Tanya were so hospitable and kind. They actually helped me meal prep with Cava! There are tons of toppings to appeal to a variety of preferences. Great food and great vibes!“

“Enough variety in the menu to keep things interesting. Everything I've ever eaten here has been excellent including some truly amazing soups. The staff is wonderful. What more could anyone want in a restaurant? I love this place!“

“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.“

“We always order beef and chicken shawarma because it's consistently good. Tonight , I wanted something like lamb biryani and so the staff recommended Mandi lamb versus mansaf. It's better than I expected- tender lamb meat, rice cooked just right, spices that won't overwhelm your taste buds; the soup , the spicy and white sauce complement the flavors so well . Love it! Definitely worth the trip.“

“They have really good food and the portions are worth the price!! Been there twice already.“

“Everything was absolutely delicious. Thank you, Luis, for the excellent service. I wouldn’t recommend the tacos, but the pizza, burger, and salad we ordered were all very delicious.

There was just one issue — the host’s attitude. She initially tried to seat us with our children in a corner near the kitchen. We asked for a different table, but she insisted there was no other space for strollers. In the end, we found a suitable spot ourselves and were able to sit comfortably with our strollers.“

“wait time was very minimal. Many food options . Nice Social distance set up.“

“I been coming here as long as I can remember. Never change, Brandy's! Although I did not see an old favorite of mine on the menu. Think it was called the Farmers sandwich and it was a formed beef patty on long bread with cheese, mustard and carmalized onion“

“Nice, clean restaurant and was not too crowded for Sunday dinner except someone's party. Food was okay nothing exceptional that I was anticipating. I have had more tastier Nihari at Usmania, Sabri or Ali Nihari. BBQ was good but karahi needs more reasonable fixing. We liked the paratha poori, Naan and parathas were freshly made and hot to touch. Staff was polite and courteous.
The parking lot needs fixing. We used disability parking but the walkway was so rocky, uneven and so far from the entrance that my dad almost fell with his rollator. It definitely needs fixing before a lawsuit happens“

“Hooray - Finally reopened to total YUM!“

“I’ve had a few family get-togethers at New Reza’s, and each experience has been wonderful. The food is delicious, and the staff is welcoming and accommodating. A special thank you to Wafa, the manager, who always goes above and beyond to make everyone feel comfortable and well taken care of.“

“Okay, this place was awesome. Not just for airport food, but just in general, the steak in my steak bowl was fresh, the guy behind the counter was super nice, and my fiancée's falafel bowl was great too! Honestly above all the good service won me over, the guy working at 1:20pm 1/16/2025 was 5 stars!“
