“Absolutely delicious! I would totally recommend. 🫶🏻“

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

“What a fantastic dinner. They walked around giving you cardamom coffee. Delicious and hummus plate with babaganous. So creamy and flavorful. Also they started you with eggplant dip and pickled vegetables with pita chips flavored with zatar. We ordered the potatoe garlic dip. Yes, that garlic burned my mouth but that's what's it's supposed to do. If you don't like garlic order something else. We split the kabobs platter. 2 different rices. We had lamb, chicken and sausage. All the food tasted fresh and succulent. I forgot pictures this time.. but we will definitely be back with a bigger group to try more. Ohhh I forgot their pita!! Best I've ever had. Fantastic service too. Please forgive all my spelling!!“

“Miraj Restaurant is absolutely excellent! The food is flavorful, fresh, and beautifully prepared — every dish tastes authentic and made with care. The portions are generous, and the menu has a great variety of options, so there’s something for everyone.

The staff is warm, attentive, and always makes you feel welcome. The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable, perfect for both casual meals and special occasions. Overall, Miraj delivers top-quality food and service every time — a definite five-star experience!“

“This restaurant is good and offers the most delicious and tasty food and fresh juices. I recommend it.“

“This is my second time here, and every time I come it’s so clean, the service is great, and the coffee drinks are so delicious! I’ve tried the Haraz latte and the pistachio latte and both are 10/10! It’s so vibey and a perfect place for me to work on my laptop! Love it here ❤“

“Second time dining at Fiya! An exceptional experience again. Delicious food and fun cocktails. Our server was warm, bright, very knowledgeable, and welcoming. We got a bunch of apps, halloumi, falafel, and hummus. And for mains we got the chicken schnitzel, burger, and lamb kofta. All insanely delicious!! (Another can’t miss is the bejeweled rice. The mint corpse reviver was a perfect addition to the meal to refresh the palette.“

“On the evening of July 5 my wife and I tried Avaspi on Belmont Avenue in Lakeview for the first time. It will not be the last! I love lamb and am quite particular as to how is it prepared. The “lamb delight” menu item was the best lamb I have ever had in a restaurant: tender, succulent, and prepared to perfection. The side salad accompanying it was not your ordinary side salad! My wife and I both enjoyed the Mixed Meze appetizer plate. Each of the five items was quite good but the muhammara was to die for. We ended our meal with tea, baklava and kubralice. The décor and ambience were refreshing and relaxing, and the service was outstanding. The pricing was very reasonable. Please give it a try. We do not think you will be disappointed.“

“Highly recommend! Good food that 3 generations of Desi immigrants approve of, from those born in colonial India, to post partition Pakistanis, to American-Born little ones. Suits all palates.

All food was good but saag paneer in particular was the bomb. So was nihari (authentic!). Elachi chai was great , too. Very clean, down to the bathroom. Kind service.“

“I ordered lunch for my employees to have during a class. It was very, very delicious! Everything we ordered was great! Dill rice, hands down the best dill rice any of us have had. It's definitely worth a try... you will not be disappointed!“

“I just wanted to post a review on the excellent food we catered for a dinner party of nine. Outstanding!!! Super fresh, amazing quality as well as quantity!! All of our guests raved over the food. We’ve ordered from them before but never for a larger group and we could not have been more pleased and impressed. Thank you!!!“

I ordered the mixed grill platter which included juicy kebabs, flavorful chicken pieces, delicious mutton kebabs, fresh salad, soft pita bread, creamy hummus, and perfectly flavored rice. Every item was fresh and well seasoned. The ambience was warm and welcoming, and the service was excellent throughout the visit. Definitely a great place for anyone who enjoys quality grilled food.

“Store front restaurant in a strip mall is find! Plenty of parking. Half a dozen tables for dining. While we were there, they had a steady stream of take out orders. Their is a nick-nack with a flag of Jordan, maybe the influence is coming from. Their Gyros is not the typical style in the USA, all the same ingredients firmly wrapped in their flat bread rather than a pita. Baba Ghanouj is one of my favorite dishes from middle eastern cuisine, EZ Shawarma does an excellent version. Also impressed by their Lamb Chops at $24, serverd on Basmati yellow rice with grilled vegetables. We also had chicken Shawarma entrée also served on Basmati yellow rice with grilled vegetables. We finished off with Baklava.“

“Q.D.A - quick, delicious and awesome 👌. When i order the guy at the cash register let's the team know what is being ordered, and they all seem to have that chemistry down pat. Food comes out quick, right, i mean I never have to double check and i just know it's gonna be good! No matter how much i order it also hits the spot! This place is my number #1 spot during the work week“

“Been here a few times and finally decided to write a review. Prices are fair. Food is always consistent, warm, tasty, and portions are large. Haneeth Mandi was fabulous. Chicken was spicy and tender and juicy. Fall off the bone cooked perfectly. Rice was also fresh and cooked to perfection. They provide sauces that compliment the dish nicely. Love that this place has maintained the quality and their service is always friendly. Restaurant is clean and a good atmosphere to sit relax and enjoy a meal.“

“The food is so delicious. The people are very kind and so patient. The workers are so happy to help and work fast too. My family always comes here and my sisters and I love the vegan options. The owner is very kind and looks out for everyone with great conversations. They have a lot of delicious drinks. We are looking forward to coming back soon!“

“Food was great. The service was perfect from beginning to end. Our waitress melissa was courteous and helpful, ensuring that our whole meal experience was flawless. She was very busy taking care of several other costumers at once but that did not stop her of making sure that we a group of 4 people were taken care of. We would come back definitely for the service and the yummy food. Thank you!“

“I took my family for lunch, we were found Afghan Kabab one of the most delicious restaurants, serving authentic Afghan kebabs, manto , Ashak, karayee and other yummy items. My kids loved it and we highly recommend this amazing place.
Thank you Afghan Kabab!“

“A must try spot! Great food, coffee and atmosphere! Definitely recommend!“

“Great place. For house made items in the grocery section: their hummus is quite good. They get much of their bread from another bakery on Kedzie. Only complaint there is the Lebanese style bread cannot be split easily because the bread is packed into half while it is still warm. For this reason, but the thinner style bread (some call it mountain bread) which this store receives in smaller quantities, so I recommend going in the morning. Good selection of dried lentils, beans, etc. In the restaurant section, the food is delicious. Wonderful atmosphere too, with a wide range of Chicagoans bustling in and out: families, bus drivers, couples, etc. That said, I do generally recommend Taste of Lebanon across Foster Ave for shawarma.“

“We dined on Easter for brunch- it was delicious and lovely with excellent service - our server Dylan was so sweet and took great care of us! We really enjoyed all of our dishes but the shakshuka, mezze platter, oysters and the chicken & waffles were stand outs! Good coffee and nice cocktails too! We’ll be back for sure!“

“Excellent food! I had the veggie platter and everything was very tasty.“

“Love Intimate House Session Wednesdays 8:00 pm-2:00 am and Sundays 2:00 pm-9:00 pm at Masada! Heartful house music with legendary DJs that connect to the soul! Thank you! Friendly and respectful venue to dance and free your mind and body! Love the bartenders are continiously evolving their non-alcoholic and mocktail beverage selection too! Thank you!

Love the summer months when Masada and Sultan's Market collaborate and offer outdoor dance parties on their beautiful and mindfully designed outdoor patio/terrace. Excellent! Don't miss this experience Chicago!“
