The food was very good but the employees have bad attitudes. The male who served me kept making faces like he was disgusted what I was eating or picking for my bowl. He also seemed to have an attitude when I asked for extra sauces and still did not give me a lot. I love the food but the service makes me not want to come back.

After I certify this place for my shawarma treat, today I made a comment about the fries being oily, most of the staff were kind enough to apologise, replace my fries and even replaced my shawarma rap which I did not ask to replace, Except the tall coloured eyes guy who was so rude, made fun of my comment and he was cowered enough to do it after I turned my back. I let go, finished our meals with my family, thanked the staff who was very kind and left quietly. I am sorry, but you lost me for good, my family and everyone would ask me for a shawarma place. Yes, it was only one guy who made me uncomfortable and never come back, but sometimes it only takes one!!!! Don’t you recon?

This is my second visit to this restaurant, and each time I left disappointed. During this visit, the service was notably rude. I ordered the Chicken Shawarma Halabi sandwich specifically for the cheese, but it had very little cheese(couldn’t taste it) and chicken. Additionally, the fries were cold and stale. Lastly, the pickles container was not clean, and the staff handling it should wear gloves for better sanitation.

To begin with I always get my falafel on flat bread (shrak break) and this time I send my dad to get me one and they sent it without tahini salad and a very very very little amount of humus. Who wants to eat a dry falafel wrap with only falafel. And their excuse that it doesn’t fit in a flat bread so how do I always get it on a flat bread and it was always perfect. I was craving this and drove from Palos to Orland for this sandwich and I’m really really disappointed cause no one enjoys a dry falafel sandwich with the salad and the humus in it. Won’t go there again.

Thanks to the worker who offered me a falafel now I am obsessed with them, and it has been helping me to lose some weight since it kills my hunger, food is really good here tough.
My daughters are always begging me to come here—they absolutely love eating at Sem Sem! I enjoy it as well, especially when we’re in the mood for a quick bite. The service is fast, efficient, and always delivered with great quality. If you’re looking for a quick and tasty meal, this is definitely the spot to go!
I ordered a chicken shawarma bowl on Uber Eats. It was a little on the salty side, especially with the tahini sauce on top. The falafels were perfect. Overall I enjoyed it and would try it again.
I’d give them 6 stars if I could. From the moment you walk in you’ll notice the place is very clean. The food is absolutely delicious and fresh as can be. I’m a big chipotle guy, but this place is honestly better.
The portions are generous, the prices are fair and the service is friendly.
Vegetarian options: Lots of veggie options including Hummus, falafel and baba ganush
الاكل ممتاز والمحل نظيف والاستقبال ممتاز ربنا يوسع عليكم
