Middle Eastern Restaurants near Oakbrook Terrace, IL

“Best Naf Naf I’ve been in a long time. The food was perfect, the staff were extremely polite and friendly, the manager Martha was extremely nice. Definitely a well run business that will see me again. The hummus, the baba, falafels, pickles and the soup were 11 out of 10.“

“Staff is amazing and food is delicious!!!“

“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“

“Ok my luck they were busy on a catering event but from my chats with the owner, she is a pro. So let me give you some insight for people who want to try something new and never had Syrian food (please ignore the other countries names and style, trust me everyone is different in their unique way of making their food). In the images here are ouzi rice and peas with generous amount of lamb stew meat cooked and wrapped in phyllo dough and cooked in an oven. The secret here is have a side dish next to it, yoghurt with thinly diced cucumbers, minced garlic, dried mints. You open up the ouzi (optional some salt and ground pepper on top) take a spoon of dough and rice mix and follow it with a spoon of that special yoghurt and tell me what you think?
Simply I’m just an expert here that want to teach you how to enjoy this kind of food. I’m available for tips on what to order and how to fully enjoy this rich cuisine.
Awesome work Manal! Wishing you all the best.“

“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. Comes with salads, pita bread, and incredibly flavorful hummus. Attached is a photo of how much food they give you. It's massive. We had enough for leftovers the next day. HIGHLY recommend this place and I'm already trying to find a way to make my way back to Chicago just to eat at this place again lol. Thanks for the amazing service!“

“Atmosphere wise, its just a small strip mall food place, so nothing crazy, but it is still very nice inside.

I got a beef and chicken shawarma platter. The beef was very tasty, and the chicken was also delicious. A lot of rice also. Couldn’t finish it all, very much worth the price.“

“We happened to stop in today. The lentil soup and lamb shish kabob were delicious! The falafel were crispy and flavorful. On the way out we picked up the Traditional Baklava sampler and it was very tasty too! We will definitely be back soon!“

“Awsome staff. Especially the women that greet you. Took time to explain how dining works. Even offered a tour of the juice bar and homemade bakery including baklava. Food is some of the best middleeastern /indian eats I have ever had in my life..Very clean and plenty of free parking.“

“Okay, this place was awesome. Not just for airport food, but just in general, the steak in my steak bowl was fresh, the guy behind the counter was super nice, and my fiancée's falafel bowl was great too! Honestly above all the good service won me over, the guy working at 1:20pm 1/16/2025 was 5 stars!“
