50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Rosemont

“Incredible food from Chef Gabriel. We were lucky enough to sit at the bar, and then found out that we were sitting next to the head chef! He recommended some dishes and they were amazing. The baked feta was really well balanced. The Octopus with the corn purée was the best octopus I have eaten in the U.S. the short rib was delicate and served with parsnip purée which was like a light mash. What a great flavour to accompany the beef! This is a must try and certainly the best food in this area by a long way.“

Take your time and pick from the variety of spirits here. The dishes are so savory and make for great shared plates.

I've had the pleasure of attending one of their anniversaries and they certainly know how to celebrate.“

“Absolutely killer middle eastern food. The rice is perfect, the falafel is perfect , the hummus rules, and the kefta wrap plate was a fantastic deal. We'll definitely be back.

UPDATE: have been back several times. Service is always great, the chicken shawarma is some of the best I've ever had. All of the bowls are a great deal. Cannot recommend this place enough.“

“I tried doner in bun and in wrap
Bun was not the best option but Wrap was very tasty
But to pay 17 for small wrap is way to expensive
Otherwise this place is not to bad at all
To expensive comper to food portion“

“The best food and good service give them 5 stars ⭐️“

“Very large portions! We were super impressed by this cute deli servicing up big sausage plates (enough for 3 people) fresh baked bread and fresh made salads. Wish we lived in Chicago because we’d frequent here a lot. Shout out to the kind lovely server who is all alone this month while her colleague is back in Serbia!“

“My husband and I went for date night on wendnesday night. Was it my high expectations? We had hamachi & charred avocados, truffle salmon, sweet corn hummus, Brussels spouts & honey crisp salad, braised beef short ribs, slow cooked lamb pot roast. Our favorite was hamachi & charred avocados. Even though sashimi were very thinly sliced, I still tasted the hamachi and lychee gave that extra texture and avocados balanced the buttery flavor. Truffle salmon, crisp roasted garlic, chive, leaks gave smoky flavor made the dish taste almost like smoked salmon, but couldn't really taste salmon and garnish was just too over powering for such a rich flavor fish. Sweet corn hummus, just tasted basic with sweet corn, nothing special about it. Brussels sprout salad, it's just too much of raw hard textures, with dressing just tasted regular store bought fruit salad dressing. Both dinner entrée wasn't tender enough, both short rib and lamb needs to be much more tender to be called braised or pot roasted in my opinion. It almost tasted dry. Overall foods were 3 stars

Dessert, we got honey cake and sticky date cake. They both were 5 stars. Sticky date cake was still fluffy and moist inside and top was toasty and crunchy like brulee. Not too sweet and had that subtle date texture and flavor. Honey cake, I love how I tasted fresh warm honey and not to sweet but enough sweet. I would come back here just for the desserts and the atmosphere. Because their desserts so good, maybe having a good tea menu would be nice to pair with.“

“My wife and I were very excited for her opening day. We normally order through their main café. Once we found out, they were opening up an express version the countdown began. The staff were very friendly, almost familiar like visiting family.

The menu options are unique prepared with care and delicious! The gear wrap hit the spot perfectly!

Great food! great vibes! Great people! Our new go to!“

“I just picked up falafel and baba ghanouj and it has to be the best falafel I’ve ever had. I was coming back from Skokie and I wanted to go to Pita Inn on Dempster and it was too busy but I did not miss anything - this is better!“

“Very nice place with great service and food giro is the best I recommend it and everything is delicious“

“I prefer this restaurant. My family was invited by me to attend my dear sister’s birthday. I recommend coming to this restaurant because it has the best way to provide delicious and distinctive food. I advise all people to try it. Do not forget also that it is characterized by a wonderful atmosphere and fast and distinctive service.
Thank you Uncle Shawarma and we will definitely be back.“

“Great food and service. Everything tastes amazing.“

“Good food. very fresh and excellent flavor. clean and inviting atmosphere.“

“Awesome food. We'll definitely be back.“

“I’ve lived less than a mile from this place for a decade and never tried it; tonight was the night. It’s a unique establishment - hookah lounge, banquet hall, bar. Walking in was a little confusing for first timers but we were quickly welcomed and seated at the bar. Drink pours were impressively heavy. Our food came out fast and was great. The cheese burek appetizer deserves special mention with its garlic and hot sauces! Our waiter/bartender was in full hustle mode on a busy Friday night but still found time to take good care of us and have a few short chats. Overall I’d highly recommend eating here. It’s a bit “different,” but who likes the same old thing over and over? I’ll be back.

Dietary restrictions: Plenty of vegetarian and vegan options here.

Parking: Parking in front and behind the building, one lot has a small curb to traverse. Not an issue for most vehicles.“

“It's a really great Mediterranean restaurant in Niles. A group of people I work with every Saturday, and I order lunch from here. We order the platters, they are huge! The rice, meats, and vegetables are all perfectly seasoned and cooked perfectly as well. Owners are very gracious and helpful. Great place to eat, a great place to cater from.“

“Petra Falafel is my favorite Middle Eastern restaurant in the area. Their chicken shawarma platter is a masterpiece, and the garlic, jalapeno, and habanero sauces are very tasty, be sure to order extras! Their portions are generous, often leaving me with leftovers for at least another full meal. The staff is always friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. We always order for pick up, but they do have a dining area and I believe they are also BYOB. Next time you are craving falafel, baba ghanoush or shawarma give Petra Falafel a try - you will not be disappointed!“

“I had an exceptional experience! The atmosphere was inviting and vibrant, making it the perfect place to unwind. Omar truly stands out—not only is he personable and engaging, but his expertise is evident in every detail. His attention to crafting the perfect hookah is unmatched. I’ll be recommending this place to friends for both the ambiance and Omar’s outstanding service!”“

“My wife, two five year olds, and I came in late afternoon after having a horrible day. The service was fantastic and they were so patient with us and it being our first time in. We decided on the chicken plate, mixed meat plate, hummus, and falafel. Everything was so fresh and absolutely delicious. We can't wait to come back here to eat. We also left in such a fantastic mood. I cant recommend this place enough! Thank you!“

“Food was fresh and delicious, tasted very authentic! We were a party of 5 that all ordered a different dish and all was very good. Restaurant itself is a bit plain but it’s modern, clean and friendly service which is more important. Ordered the baklava at the end and it is GREAT! Thank you!“

“The food, atmosphere, and service were all exceptional! Everything, down to the drink names, perfectly complemented the ambiance. This is an absolutely beautiful place to enjoy dinner and great food. The shawarma rolls, pork chops, and Moroccan tagine were all outstanding. If you enjoy sweet and refreshing cocktails, I highly recommend the 'Gotta Have Faith.' Overall, I would definitely return to try more dishes and highly recommend visiting this unique spot. It’s truly a must-visit!“

“the food here is simply amazing. I had a jumbo dog and onion rings and I swear that I have never eaten better. I'm definitely coming back to this place. if you're in the area I strongly suggest you try them out.“

“Had lunch there today and I have to say this is the first time I was disappointed with the service. The food was excellent but that's it. Asked for 2nd drink and never got it. Water was never refilled until we were through eating. When first ordering our wine we had problems. I will continue to eat here and hopefully this is a one time occurrence.“

“Is it Mediterranean food? Yes. Is it delicious? Yes. The falafel and the baba ganoush is awesome, the shawarma is awesome, I haven’t tried much else because after falling in love with these dishes I stopped trying others but that will change soon“

“Food was great, very clean restaurant.“

“I hadn’t had a true Moroccan dinner in years and suggested Shokran to a close friend. He was not sure what he’d find…….
Suffice it to say everything was outstanding! The appetizers and dinners were sensational - especially the lamb.
Warm and friendly service, huge portions, very fair pricing, fine atmosphere. My friend cannot wait to go there again!
If you’ve never had a Moroccan feast I can assure you - this is the real thing!

Parking: Street parking on Irving Park and side streets.“

“I was here for a friend's holiday. It was very tasty and the music was good. The downside was that you had to wait a long time for everything to be prepared. But the service was very good, one of the waitresses especially stood out, I think her name was Valentina. In general, the impression is very good“

“Went for the first time tonight and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. Better than I’ve had from kabobi grill and noon o kebab which is saying a lot! The hummus was very creamy and flavorful and the chicken was perfectly spiced and very juicy! Kebabs can often be dry and this is not the case here! Very god portions for a reasonable price! Check this place out!“

“Excellent food for dine in and creative, well presented catering service options. Karim worked with me to create a menu that our guests loved.“
