“KJ IS THE BEST! I feel as if he would save my family from a burning building, save a drowning puppy in the middle of the ocean, stop a car from hitting an elderly couple. His overwhelming customer service made me smile for the first time in over 50 years. A true great young man cava has on their team!
Give him a raise“

“I love having JK in the neighborhood. Always fresh and delicious and the staff is so kind and welcoming. Would love to see them operating here as long as they desire to run the restaurant.
Having Jarasa Kabob in JP has been a great boost to our food options in the neighborhood. One year now, Alhamdulillah!
Inside is nice and clean and there's plenty of space if you're dining in. It's a no-brainer for a killer takeout option.“

“Absolutely delicious food perfect customer service Decent prices very clean place“

“I was scrolling Grubhub then decided I deserved better than fast food that’s going to be delivered cold. So went to Google and saw this place which I pass almost everyday without thought. I wish I caught my waiters name but he was a pleasure and very attentive. The fried octopus was unique and flavorful. Short rib wasn’t as tender as advertised but still quite delicious. I got a sample of the lobster bisque which honestly tasted like tomato soup to me. The bread pudding was excellent. I appreciate the balance and gelato on top. I got the mezcal cocktail which was also great. Also ordered tequila on the rocks. I was given a complimentary shot of the pistachio martini which was delicious. Overall ambience was lovely. You can have a great date night right in the burbs. Who knew? Overall, can’t wait to visit again to try different apps and their pasta. All of that was around $140 including 20% tip.“

“Delightful food choices that are always tasty“

“homestyle burgers, very clean and delicious food. mom and pop shop. I’d rather give them my business than a big chain any day!“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“My first time eating lunch at Ema was outstanding. I was meeting a colleague and wasn’t sure what to expect because we had a lot of work to cover. The entire staff was very helpful, courteous and knowledgeable about the menu. We received wonderful service and had a very healthy lunch. The food was great and all our salads were fresh and delicious.“

“Best halal food in the area, tried everything there, tastes authentic delicious and healthy.
I eat there 4 days a week just can’t get enough. Definitely worth the try check it out and ask for Moe.
Awesome service 💯
Always clean 🧽
Super nice staff 🫡“

“Traveled all the way to Chicago to try this place! I have not eaten there but have ordered to-go many times! I am French and it is rare to find a place that makes and sells Merguez. The last time I have had some was in Morocco about 6-7 years ago and in the US, it has been decades. Zebda's Merguez slap. Very nostalgic and delicious.

PS: yes they are that red! But they are very good!

“The döner at Cappadocia Mediterranean Grill tastes just like in Turkey! The meat is delicious, the portions are generous, and it comes with warm lavash on the side, giving a true taste of home. Having such authentic döner in Chicago is a real treat.“

“Wild Pita Mediterranean Grill is a standout spot that combines freshness, flavor, and friendliness in every meal. The food is absolutely delicious—from the perfectly seasoned shawarma and tender kebabs to the fresh salads, fluffy pita, and creamy hummus. Every bite tastes vibrant and authentic, and it’s clear the ingredients are top-notch and prepared with care.

The staff go above and beyond to make you feel welcome, always greeting customers with a smile and making sure orders are just right. Service is fast and efficient, whether you’re dining in or grabbing takeout, and the portions are generous without being overpriced. The restaurant itself is clean, modern, and comfortable—perfect for a casual lunch or dinner.

Wild Pita has that rare mix of quality, consistency, and warmth that keeps you coming back. It’s the kind of place where everything—from the food to the service—feels thoughtfully done. Without question, it deserves a full five stars.“

“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.“

“We had an amazing experience this evening for a birthday dinner, everything was amazing and we will be back for more. The staff was wonderful and we had some moments to talk more with the manager and learn history behind dishes and about Morocco. For some reason pictures won’t attach but everything was beautifully presented and so flavorful!“

Although we're were served a different menu due to the field trip, the food was still great, service members were kind and attentive, and the area was clean and inviting. Owner was bright and fun, and the staff were each wonderfully selected people. Definitely will come back to try the Greek selection!“
