For the amount and quality of food you get for the price, this place is a steal. After traveling all day and parking at the Cumberland Blue Line, we came down the road to Bab Alsalam and I cannot rave enough how amazing this place is and will be coming back each and every single time we travel out of O'Hare. The food was not only delicious, but so much flavor punched into every bite. We ordered a Chicken Shawarma Entree and the Mixed Shawarma and both were exceptional in taste....read full review
Best chicken shawarma I’ve had by far. Can’t wait to try the rest of the menu. Wish the garlic sauce had a bit more to it though it was a bit lacking in flavor
Real deal here tucked into hidden strip mall corner.
