Middle Eastern Restaurants near Rosemont, IL

“The girls working tonight were super sweet and understanding. A+ for customer service delicious food and scrumptious hot fresh pita bread!“

“First time having dinner here and it was so good. Fast service and nice atmosphere. Looking forward to coming back!“

“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.“

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

“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 don’t always write reviews but when I do it’s because I’m impressed or disappointed. I ordered for to go. I had the grilled platter. Rice two kind, beef I think or lamb, chicken and kafta. Everything was delicious. Chicken was the best it was soft inside and just fall apart in the mouth. Hummus was great not too strong not too salty. Fattoush salad was also great. Overall I would recommend as a place to go for a quick middle eastern bite.“

“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“

“I’m Mexicano and the mix grill combo plate chicken steak and beef kifta hummus the rice salad is amazing ,,, little pricey but you get what you paid for ,,, the falafel is great ,, I give 5 stars out of 5 , 4 real Great clean and fast service !!!!“

“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!“

“One of the best restaurants in Chicago! The lunch special is my favorite - the most flavorful kabobs and rice (I upgrade to the Kabuli style rice). I also love the Kabuli Palaw (lamb shank). Service is always efficient and friendly. Afghan Kabob is worth a visit even if you're not in the area!“

“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.“

“I love the Beef Swarma Entree when you substitute Hummus for the rice. The Cucumber and Tomato salad which comes with it is also excellent. You also get a piece of Pita Bread with the Entree. Also try their Baklava variety pack. Really great selection of different types of Baklava.“

“انصح في زياره مطعم بهار ونار يتوفر لديهم جميع انواع المأكولات الشرقيه والغربيه والخدمه في المطعم سريعه واسعار مناسبه“

“I can honestly say when it comes to these protein bowls, won't say names but this place doesn't disappoint when it comes your protein portions!! Myra was very nice and made sure that the quantity matched the quality of this fine establishment. No disappointments here. Definitely coming back!!“

“We're in Chicago for a week and we stopped to eat here twice. Delicous, clean, filling and fresh.

The fried laghman noodles were nice and had a great chew. The veggies were cooked perfectly, the meat was tender and the overall dish was not super oily like others we've tried. Portion is bigger than it looks so go hungry.

The ayrim sai laghman was also delicious and light.

The plov was also delicious and not too oily. The raisins were plump and were great with the savory rice. And of course quail eggs with plov are always perfect.

The white dumpling soup (chuch wara) had a great broth and dumplings were well cooked and tasty.

Most important is to try the bread! The bread is sooooo delicious and cooked in a tandoor. Samsa is also cooked in tandoor and is super juicy!

Staff and owners are always attentive and super nice!“

“We loved our pistachio cold brew lattes-the best and best price! Especially Jose who was an amazing server! We will come back!!“

“We had a wonderful dinner tonight at Al Bawadi Grill. We had Mandi (Lamb with Rice) which was amazing and so tasty!. We ordered Salmon kabobs plus Kefta Kabob which were both so tasty and fresh! Yogurt drink was awesome and so fresh! Kanafa was not so sweet just the way we like it. Thanks again!“

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

“Best Mediterranean fast food I have ever had! Very good quality meat, always tender and marinated to perfection! My kid’s favorite restaurant and always a hit for our family party’s!“

“Absolutely delicious, as always! We miss being closer to Hala In. #supportlocal“

“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!“

““Absolutely amazing food! We used their catering service and everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how delicious everything was — truly authentic Middle Eastern taste. Highly recommend for any event!”“

“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!“

“ordered a large order. they provided lots of sauce but forgot two main courses. instead of saying oh well and hanging up they went out of the way to bring us the items and a treat of baklava. this business has always been great and make all customers feel valued“

“Authentic, fresh, and tasty food. Generous portions. Great service. Their Moroccan fish is second to none. Best kosher fleishig restaurant in the Chicago area. We used to order their Shabbat meals every time we couldn’t cook and they never disappointed.“

“The best food & Staff very yummy 😋“

“I found this place completely by accident while searching on Google for a place to smoke hookah. I was truly impressed by the hospitality, the excellent service, and the delicious hookah.

I ordered tea and a hookah, but the waiter told me the tea would be complimentary. That kind and thoughtful gesture really touched me, and it made me decide to order some food to go as well.

Thank you so much for reminding me that there are still such genuinely kind and welcoming people in this world. ❤ I will definitely come back and not just once!“

“Wonderful food & service!“

“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 ❤“

“Food was good. It was weird that the guy was bothered I took 2 extra forks and spoon. I had placed order for 2 plates and he gave me 2 forks. I asked if I can grab extra since we will be sharing and he was okay but when I took 2 extra forks and spoon he wasn't happy.“

“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.“

“Really good food I’ll recommend this place 😇👍“

“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!“
