“I'm a local, plain old Americana fellow. Decided to try some new food to change things up, Bab Alsalam was the place and I felt no need to try another due to the warm and welcoming service, and on point food. Eventually tried a couple other shawarma places and they were solid, but this place is the place to go“

“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!“

“Myself and a few friends went to Saltwater Coastal Grill for a girls night and it was great! The ambiance was perfect. It is decorated very nicely and has a relaxing vibe. The food was excellent! I highly recommend any of the sushi rolls and the baked oysters. The mocktails were also delicious. I will definitely be back!“

“The best. Great food, just as great as the conversations with Jamal“

“It was my first time in the calming environment of Cava and the limitless options left me unsure of what to get.

“Cava, I don’t typically leave comments online but I had a wonderful experience last week at your Kildeer location and want to commend you and your staff, especially Sammie. Good good can be found in other establishments (and Cava, I do enjoy your food!) but people are what sets apart good from great. I appreciate the patience Sammie showed while I placed my order and gently making recommendations.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Hidden Gem in Rosemont! Had a fantastic experience at CIMA in Rosemont! It’s rare to find a high-quality restaurant in the area, and even more surprising to find one inside a hotel that delivers this level of food, drinks, atmosphere, and service. Everything we ordered was delicious and beautifully presented both happy hour and dinner menu. The atmosphere was stylish, comfortable, and inviting. A special shoutout to Sendy, our server, who was friendly, attentive, and made our experience even better. The service was excellent from start to finish.“

Incredible Lemon Chicken with delicious veggies. Yummy Baklava fresh crunchy. Would definitely make the drive out of my way to come back again.“

“Excellent food and ambiance, The brick chicken is my favorite. Our friends who have lived throughout the country said the pork chop is the best they ever had“

“ordered a large order. they provided lots of sauce but forgot two main courses. instead of saying oh well and hanging up they went out of the way to bring us the items and a treat of baklava. this business has always been great and make all customers feel valued“

“The best food & Staff very yummy 😋“

“Went out for a Wednesday dinner with my friend. We always wanted to to check it out when it was Meza . The front of restaurant has a small patio and on the other side they have a larger patio. It was raining so we didnt get to see that area. We started with a couple happy hour drinks . They are the wine by glass , beer on draft and well drinks are 50% off. We came here to try their octopus which was very good. Then we ordered a seafood salad and dinner was lamb chops. I was hoping that was a bit bigger but the flavor was great. We shared as we wanted to try more things . Cecilia was our server and did a great job.“

“Update: I’ve been going here for many years, with longer hours now and a remodeled and much larger dining area that looks and feels pleasant, they’ve really been doing a great job! Quality is consistent and always tastes great. Very fresh and lots of healthy options that taste great! Cannot recommend this place enough.

Amazing Middle Eastern food! Prices are amazing, food is fantastic, and overall the whole business has a very strong flow to it! Employees work very hard to serve costumers and help keep the place clean. Absolutely amazing!“

“Cappadocia catered a 40 person party for us this past weekend and knocked it out of the park. The food was amazing - everyone raved about it - and the team was so easy and kind to work with. It’s clear how sincerely they care about their business and delivering high quality food and service. This is our new favorite spot in the area; I couldn’t recommend Cappadocia more!“

“We have a nice dinner the food was so good, and for sure we will back 💖💖“

“My first time eating lunch at Ema was outstanding. I was meeting a colleague and wasn’t sure what to expect because we had a lot of work to cover. The entire staff was very helpful, courteous and knowledgeable about the menu. We received wonderful service and had a very healthy lunch. The food was great and all our salads were fresh and delicious.“

“I found this place completely by accident while searching on Google for a place to smoke hookah. I was truly impressed by the hospitality, the excellent service, and the delicious hookah.

I ordered tea and a hookah, but the waiter told me the tea would be complimentary. That kind and thoughtful gesture really touched me, and it made me decide to order some food to go as well.

Thank you so much for reminding me that there are still such genuinely kind and welcoming people in this world. ❤ I will definitely come back and not just once!“

“The best food & Staff very yummy 😋“

“I love the Beef Swarma Entree when you substitute Hummus for the rice. The Cucumber and Tomato salad which comes with it is also excellent. You also get a piece of Pita Bread with the Entree. Also try their Baklava variety pack. Really great selection of different types of Baklava.“

“A nice place and the food is delicious they have and the staff there are nice people fresh food every day and clean something indescribable Thank you guys“

“I recently tried the Chicken Chicago Shawarma at Krasa Craft Restaurant on Ashland Ave, and it completely blew me away. The chicken was juicy and perfectly seasoned, and the Ukrainian mayonnaise-based garlic sauce adds a rich, creamy flavor that makes this shawarma stand out from anything else in Chicago. The honey mustard, cheddar cheese, fresh tomatoes, pickles, and cabbage create the perfect balance of flavors and textures. Definitely one of the best shawarmas I’ve had!“

“Absolutely amazing experience, great food, and fun yet inviting atmosphere“

“Amazing experience! The service was top-notch—friendly, attentive, and always with a smile. You can tell they genuinely care about customers.

The food was just as impressive—super fresh and full of flavor. I ordered two bowls: the Harissa Chopped Salad and the Mezze Protein Bowl, and both were absolutely delicious. Great balance of ingredients, well-seasoned, and very satisfying.

Definitely coming back. Highly recommend!“

“I participated in a poetry event in Alibaba. I admired & enjoyed great musicians: Marek Kulisiewicz I Marek Kalinowski. Sweet & well educated waitress Joanna added to a great atmosphere of the evening. You can meet many musicians & poets there. I had a great time last night in Alibaba. Thank you, Magda Mlodozeniec“
