Amazing food-- I rather enjoyed the pita bread more here than any other Mediterranean place I've been to. The fries were outstandingly well seasoned too. The Chicken schawarma platter comes with an onion and small salad consisting of tomatoes and cucumber(?), along with the pita bread. Overall (my chicken already had garlic sauce on top so if you don't like that make sure to tell them first, but I particularly love garlic) , my order was 21$ for the platter, the fries, and a bottle of water. I'd argue it was rather amazing value for money, but they have no public restroom and no free water, and didn't include a fork in my bag, leading to me going on a rather wild goose chase in order to obtain one.

Love the chick and steak shawarma platters Alwayd tender, juicy and flavorful. The grilled onion and pepper and vegs are great add-on. Arabic salad is best and their own hummus is some of the best ever. Service is fast and the staff is great!
They have the best hummus! My only recommendation is that when they are closed, especially for holidays that their answering machine indicates the days closed. It only says to leave a message and when I go there, a sign indicates they are closed. Could have saved me a trip.

This small restaurant is a regular go to for our family. We usually get carryout. Chicken shwarma platter or wrap is what I order, with a side of hummus.

The food and the service was excellent! I brought my fiancé who's never really had middle eastern food before, and they made some suggestions for her to try. We got Baba ghanoush, hummus, falafel, and a shawarma combo plate. Everything was very fresh and delicious. Prices were very reasonable and the portions were good. I will definitely be returning, this place is definitely a neighborhood gem.

I was disappointed with my experience. The food didn’t taste good and wasn’t worth the price. The quality didn’t match the cost, and I don’t think I’ll return.

Ordered uber eats and food was cold . Paid a dollar for each garlic sauce, and there was barely any in each cup if you pay a dollar for it should be full. Didn’t like the pita as much as the place that we ordered from

This place is a true neighborhood gem. Having worked nearby for years, I can say with confidence that this is one of the most welcoming restaurants you'll ever find. It’s a family-run business, operated by four brothers who inherited it from their father. Their dedication to continuing his legacy is clear in every detail. The brothers and their staff treat every customer with genuine warmth, making you feel right at home. They have an outstanding reputation for a reason: the service is impeccable, the atmosphere is cozy, and the food is phenomenal. While I personally believe their chicken shawarma with everything is heaven on a plate, you truly can't go wrong with anything on the menu. If you are anywhere in the area, this is the place to eat. You are guaranteed to leave with a smile on your face. Tell them Jimmy sent you.
The Flafel sandwich is amazing even better than ban Saj or any other Mediterranean restaurant You have to try it

We really like the Chicken shawarma, it's our favorite. They have more dishes available as well as different appetizers. I advise you to order in advance because they have many orders and you will have to wait a long time.

Best Middle Eastern food in chicago. Everything taste great and fresh. Portions are big, price affordable too. Only negative is there is no bathroom for customers.
