Middle Eastern Restaurants near Mettawa, IL

“Absolutely amazing food. Fresh. Had no idea I could find such delicious and healthy food at an oasis. Great flavors. Had the vegetarian plate with hummus, salad, falafel, boba, and grape leaves. Every item was awesome. Wish this restaurant was in my neighborhood!“

“I recently made time to visit. Multiple people have told me how delicious the food was and how friendly the owners were that I had to see for myself. The reviews did not lie! More importantly the owners were extremely welcoming and friendly. The best baklava ever as well!!“

“This place is great. Good food. Well priced. Attentive and friendly staff. My wife and I drive like 25 mins out of our way just to come here. It's getting harder these days to find restaurants that haven't excessively increased prices while lowering the overall quality of their food. Definitely worth the visit for great Mediterranean.“

“My hubby and I were drivin’ home from Michigan to Wisconsin and made it a point to stop at the Shawarma King in Gurnee (this was our second time, and y’all, it was just as amazing as the first). We had the chicken shawarma wraps with fries and that garlic sauce… Lord have mercy, it’s so good I’d put it on just about anything. The falafel was tasty, and the tahini sauce was the perfect match. The hummus was smooth and flavorful and had their special sauce in the middle and was served with their homemade pita bread! It was that soft, fresh pita—like nothin’ I’ve ever had. You can tell everything’s made right there in the kitchen with a whole lotta love for their customers. The gentleman runnin’ the place is just the nicest guy—genuine, kind, and proud of his food (as he should be!). We’ll definitely be stoppin’ by again next time we’re passin’ through.“

“I just had the best experience at this Naf Naf with Candy and alejandria(?) (I’m so sorry if I spelled it wrong) they were incredibly helpful and it seemed like they really enjoy being there and helping customers. They took their time even though we accidentally got way more complicated than we had to about our orders. Thanks for the patience you two!“

“This place is seriously my go-to when I'm working! I make it a point to swing by every other week, at least. The Mediterranean food here is just incredible, I always crave it. Luckily, it's super close to my job, making it the perfect lunch spot. Seriously, if you like Mediterranean food, you have to check it out!“

“That place has real tea! In the real teapot. That alone deserved my undying gratitude. Food is amazing, flavored with unique spices that don't overwhelm your palate. I suppose taste could feel unusual for the people unfamiliar with Silk Road cuisine, but that's the beauty of places like that: you can expand your taste without actual travel.“

“Delicious food !! Great service.“

“Mizrahi humus, where have you been all my life? I just had the lucky opportunity to try you for the first time. And now I can never eat any other hummus. This is beyond my favorite. Cannot recommend it enough!“
