“This restaurant is a hidden gem in Mokena. They serve very good Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cooking the servers are patient with customers and their choices and and The restaurant atmosphere is pretty good The food is sort of pricey, but they give out generous portions, and they are a local restaurant so you have to excuse that because is food is well worth it“
“Amazing food, we tried stffed lamb neck with rice, the spices are out of this world and the meat is so tender and juicy. Best of all, the guys working there are very friendly and welcoming giving you an atmosphere like you are at home. Highly highly recommended.“
“The best restaurant ever. The food was amazing and the service was even better. I came as an invite from my cousin and it was such an amazing place. Highly recommend!Mashallah, I eat a lot of good food, it is tidy, and the grills are cleanest“
“Honestly these are the best shawarma in the neighborhood I love them anyone I take here always has nothing but good things to say about the food, the atmosphere is very inviting and the staff is very nice. I recommended the food to everyone that visits Chicago. I love it.“
“Hamdullah One of my favorite places to eat! The hummus!!!! The best … So tasty. The service… so genuine and loving. The food …soooo yummy and nutritious. Peace be upon the cooks and the preparers. Highly recommended.“
“Came here for the first time and made the hour long drive from Chicago. I got the chicken shawarma wrap and a beef shawarma in a pita. The chicken shawarma was very good and had lots of flavor. The fires were fresh and crispy. The beef, however, had no flavor at all and was super bland. Was disappointed with the beef. I’d recommend the chicken to anyone.“
“I'm not used to giving 5 stars, but this place earned it. I've been there after some friends suggested me the knafeh, a traditional dessert that is a must if you will come here. Since I stepped in I was fascinated by the place and it's style. The owner has done it's best decorating it. The staff there was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure our dining experience was enjoyable. They gave us a background about this place history, that is amazing. The food was equally impressive - fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. I highly recommend this restaurant!“

“Falafel sandwiches were great! I loved the food, but a paid $34 for 4 small sandwiches. I would need like three to get full. Great food, but too expensive. If the sandwich was normal size, bigger, I would have no complaints. They were mini.“
“The food was delish! Although they seemed rigid, maybe a little skeptical, they were polite, clean, & they take Google pay! I love the garlic sauce. So yum, so garlicky lol!! The falafel was enough for 2 days of eats, & soo good! The baklava was exceptionally tasty, & not soggy, but soft, slightly crunchy, & utter oral bliss! I'm spending more of my loot with them!!! By the way, the pickled parsnips....WOW!!“
“This place was delicious. We got food for takeout (felafel, tabbouleh, hummus, pita, and fries) and all were delicious! There is also a chopped tomato and onion salad which is mildly spiced, I didn't catch the name of it, but we got it at their suggestion, and it's also so yummy! They were out of foule this time, so we definitely plan to go back. Very casual atmosphere with plenty of tables, and very clean.“

“Incredible staff and amazing service. Went there for dessert and everything they offered was amazing! The place was clean and nice, the food was good and overall I really liked it. I recommend it for anyone who wants to enjoy delicious middle eastern food and dessert.“
“I moved a few months ago to Central Illinois from southern California where there was plenty of Middle Eastern bakeries. I googled and drove two hours to this place and I am so happy that I did that. The pastries were amazing. The bread was soft, and the pies were savory. This was worth a drive and I will be coming back very soon.“
“We just went to Al Basha, which means the king in Arabic, after searching it on Google Maps. Wow the food is so incredible. We just had to get takeout because we were going somewhere but we will definitely go back! I had just a plate of falafel and my husband got the beef Shawarma sandwich. The portions were even bigger than they told us and everything was incredibly freshly homemade. Wow!“
“Traditional Old School Style Arabic Breakfast. Tastes just like Home Made without having to do the hours of cooking and cleaning lol. Service is shockingly fast and they’re so busy that everything has always been fresh. Our staff eats here multiple times a week. They never disappoint. This is the Go To for anyone that knows Arabic Breakfast.“
“I am familiar with Hashem in Amman, Jordan and was excited to try it. Its just like being back in Jordan. The flavors are spot on. Hospitality is great. They make wonderful fatta, falafel and a killer cup of mint tea. The falafel in the sesame bun hit the spot as well. I am always willing to drive from Schaumburg for breakfast here. I hope they open more locations in the north suburbs.“
“Very friendly service! Was able to sample some of the food items ( Thanks Souna!, forgive the misspelling) Food is very fresh and the large Kabob plate is delicious and very plentiful. Love the Falafel and the Kibbeh was good. Really good is the Arabic pizza the cheese and grilled veggie one. I will be returning!“
“My coworker and I had lunch here. It was amazing. The chicken is so tender and well done. Everything is so fresh cooked to order. Everything tasted wonderful. Will definitely be back for more.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp from the parking to the place. No stairs. Tables with chairs.“
“Absolutely Fantastic Food … the owners are very nice and gave us samples of the rice pudding (SO good) and a sample of the Lentil soup ( beyond yummy). I had the grilled chicken bowl and tried the red rice and the yellow rice - this was so delicious. My wife had the gyros. Both these dishes are SO good. You will not be disappointed with this restaurant. I’d give it 10 stars if I could. Absolutely delicious!!!! Thank you AlSultan! :-)“
“Food quality and flavor are on point. However, we went on a Saturday night at 6pm and they were already out of Falafil and Lamb. There should be better planning for weekends. Food pricing/value are not great for the small portions. Ridiculous surcharges and price gauging. When we got the bill we were charged 3.5% credit card fee and $4 per water bottle when the can of sodas were only $2, how does that work? We will most probably not go again.“
“Wow wow wow first time for the family…food was outrageous so juicy crispy light not to greasy…seasonings on point food hot presentation was great…milkshakes are to die for… environment was clean smelled good we will be back for sure 1000/1000 and generous portion on the salad!!!!“
“My husband and I came into your restaurant for the first time today. We tried the Steak Bowls and they were delicious. The different flavors from both rices, the seasoned tender steak and the five different toppings were wonderful. Yum! We’ll be back!“
