(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!“

“Zad by Pita Inn in Skokie, Illinois, offers a delightful four-star dive into Mediterranean cuisine with its fresh, flavorful dishes that blend authenticity and affordability, making it a go-to spot for quick yet satisfying meals in a casual setting. The steak shawarma wraps tender, spiced meat in warm pita with creamy hummus and crisp veggies that burst with Middle Eastern zest, while the lamb dishes impress with their juicy tenderness and aromatic spices, all served in generous portions that feel like a steal for the price. The clean, no-frills counter-service atmosphere hums with efficient staff who keep things moving smoothly, though occasional inconsistencies in seasoning or tougher cuts during busy rushes can slightly detract from the experience. Overall, it’s a reliable neighborhood gem for falafel lovers and shawarma enthusiasts alike, with gluten-friendly options adding to its appeal, even if it doesn’t quite reach the pinnacle of gourmet flair.“

“Great place with great service. Only issue they have is not enough parking and prices a bit on the high price (vegetable appetizer should not cost $20). Great atmosphere that follows original location. Staff always very attentive but sometimes a bit too much. Will definitely go there again.“

“Their Kabuli Pulau is so good! The most tender and flavorful lamb leg in the chicago area. And their rice! Moist and perfectly seasoned.
Better than Kabobi, better than Kabul.
Service is good and they are attentive.
Atmosphere is calm, nice vibes to enjoy their cardamom tea after your meal.

Lamb kabob, beef shami, and chicken shami also delicious.“

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.“
