“Our first time coming here, and no doubt we’ll be coming back here when we are in the area. Friendly staff and generous complimentary pieces! I had the chicken shawarma and the taste was perfect! Reminds me of our time in Dubai, so the dish was delicious and very authentic mediterranean food! On top of the generous given out appetizer of pita bread and chips, Chef Abdul personally handed us 3 pieces of balaclavas and chocolates. I recommend checking this place out!“

“Vasili’s is our go to place for a nice dinner with friends in Naperville the food is always phenomenal, the service is friendly and fast, and the ambiance gives me a city vibe. Highly recommend for fun cocktails & delicious food. Order the appetizer sausage even though that seems weird, the Caesar salad that is way better than the norm, the lamb and shrimp skewers, the Feta Brined Chicken, and the fancy espresso martini - you’re welcome.“

“First time there. Came in with a party of 6. The restaurant was very busy. But our server Crystal was outstanding!!!!!! Very personable, knowledgeable, and all recommendations were spot on. Appetizers, meals and desserts were amazing. The runners, bus help also 5 stars. As we were leaving the owner actually made it a point to ask us how everything was. We will definitely be back. Very impressed.“

“We got the chkn bites and the batter on these is sooooo good. They are the best thing I have tried out. The owner is very kind and he cooks it all himself. W loved it so much we got the beef tacos and chkn tender to go for dinner. 100% recommend coming here even if you aren’t vegan. We also got a few of their homemade drinks which were very good as well. Thank you for a great experience while we were in town!“

“First time here and I will drive an hour to come back. There’s a cute little Crystal Life store around the corner you must check out for those negative vibes.Anyhoo I had the Scottish Salmon and I have to say its top 3 on my list now. I’m a true food connoisseur and earned the right to say that.“

“Really good and tasteful food! We got the Oh-Noh-Kuak, Tofu Kyaw, Moh-Hin-Gar, and Tea Leaf Salad. They were all great.“

“Had a light sandwich which hit the apot but the sweet potato fries were excellent. Maria provided great service frequently coming by to ask how everything was or if we needed anything even thought she was buay. Good times with my kid for basketball game.Vegetarian options: I do wish they had a turkey burger.“

“I don't think there is a way to overrate this cafe! No matter when you visit you are going to receive amazing service and even better coffee and scones. I am completely addicted to the Cinnamon Roll Scones but they are all amazing. Definitely a hidden gem in Winfield!!“

“Consistently Excellent. I’ve been here around four times and I always want to keep coming back! What’s not to love about a chef owned farm to table restaurant? I’m partial to their salads with blackened chicken, but everything else I’ve tried has been fresh and made with high quality ingredients as well. Stop in- you’ll be glad that you did.“

“Great atmosphere and awesome service“

“This is a such lovely little cafe in Green Trails. This was the first time I’ve eaten here & all three of us had an amazing meal! I had the power chicken wrap. The flavor was phenomenal. Any reservations I had about a gluten free wrap were immediately gone after I took the first bite. The woman serving us was very lovely. She thanked us for coming in & genuinely said she prepared our lunch for her. It was a lovely way to end our lunch. I can’t wait for this to be a new favorite spot for me.“

“Excellent food and services with a great atmosphere! Will definitely go back.“

“Food was amazing! Server gave us recommendations and they were stellar. I had a mocktail, my husband had one of the whiskey cocktails and both were awesome. We shared the hot chicken baos (amazing), I had a salmon salad, my husband had the maize and mash burger with Mac n cheese, and we had broccolini on the side. Everything was delicious. Hidden gem!“

“Ethio Beans Ethiopian Restaurant! Authentic Ethiopian food in Carol Stream, IL, we are fortunate to have this place just a few minutes drive from our house. We've been ordering lunch/dinner from there for the last 6 years or so, the owners are incredibly kind as they take our orders and as they present our takeouts.We absolutely love the Special Spicy Chicken curry which is Chicken curry seasoned with Blend Red Pepper and Veggie combo, which is Lentil Curry, Yellow Split Peas, Greens, Cabbage. Of course, all accompanied by famous Ethiopian flatbread called Injera (a well fermented flatbread we use to pinch and hold the food with our fingers (no need for silverware)). We recommend getting a family platter with a few different veggies and meat options so you can taste multiple dishes. Everything is delicious, from the veggie’s combo to the meat variety to the coffee...amazing!!! The location is a bit hidden in a plaza so don't miss it! Parking, no problem!If you happen to be in the Carol Stream area, we highly recommend trying Ethiopian food at Ethio Beans with a group of friends/family that want to try something new, so much fun with kids as well. It's absolutely a great social way to eat. The dishes at Ethio Beans are delicious and of course we will continue to order and eat from there regularly!Vegetarian options: Veggie combo, which is Lentil Curry, Yellow Split Peas, Greens, Cabbage. Of course, all accompanied by famous Ethiopian flat bread called InjeraParking: Free parkingKid-friendliness: Kid friendly food selection available.“

“First time at this location, the service was great from the host to our server Heather was very efficient, timely, and observant of our needs. However, our pizza just didn't hit my sweet spot. We had sausage and cheese thin crust mixed with spinach Topping. Wayyyy too much spinach. Nevertheless it was still a pleasant experience.“

“Excelente servicio. Felicidades. el servicio del bar de 10“

“Food was delicious and the service was excellent. Mufthi who took our order was very attentive and checked on us time to time. The place was well staffed and decorated. There is a small snack shop where we could buy prepackaged South Indian snacks like seedai, mullu murukku, pepper thatai, butter murukku, kai murukku etc. I will definitely stop by whenever I visit Chicago.“

“Absolutely fantastic experience at Sarpino's on Army Trail Rd! The pizza was top-notch, with fresh ingredients and a perfect crust. The service was friendly and quick, making the whole experience delightful. I was recommended the Hawaiian pizza and it looks and tastes wonderful. Their attention to detail and consistent quality make this spot a must-visit for any pizza lover in the area. Highly recommend!“

“The best breakfast place I've ever been to, bar none! I love the egg breakfast, but it's a tough decision between a big that and the parfait. But no matter what you pick, you must have an order of biscuits, preferably a full basket!“

“Would not consider myself a "kabob" kinda guy. Feed me a hotdog n burger any day of the week. My friend recommended this and I gave it a shot. Thought the food was great. Got the steak kabob dinner that came with pita bread, rice, potatoes, and a side salad. Even though it was a bit pricey, there was plenty of food on that plate. Also got the spinach pie and it was delicious! The staff was friendly and the food came out quickly. Only down side is, its a bit small on the inside and the parking lot becomes difficult to navigate during busy times. Decore could be updated but it wasnt a priority for me. I would return again.Parking: Small parking lot. Difficuly to navigate during busy hours.“

“The Lucky Penny has one of the best vegan menus for a non vegan restaurant! You can tell they put a lot of time and consideration into this menu. The food and service was absolutely amazing! I will 1000000% be back!Dietary restrictions: Separate menu for vegans AND gluten free!“

“Manna is such a gem, i will find any excuse to make the trip out from the city! The french onion soup is such a treat as it's rare to find such a good vegan version. Their vegan chicken sandwich is delicious, the sauce and slaw make it perfection. The BBQ wings and mac n cheese were a hit with our whole table and the perfect items to share.“

“The freshness of the ingredients shines through in every bite, enhancing the overall flavor profile of each dish. It's evident that the restaurant prioritizes quality, resulting in a culinary experience where vibrant, natural flavors take center stage. The commitment to using fresh ingredients adds a layer of authenticity to the dining experience, making each meal a delightful celebration of taste and freshness.“

“Nice atmosphere, but the staff was slow for service and painfully so where you had to ask for everything (refills, bill, food etc.). Maybe this was at a time of high service, unsure. Staff were still pleasant but just very slow and u directed service. Food was good and they serve beer here.“

“I go here every once in a while, and the trip is definitely worth it!As I’m usually in a hurry, the workers are able to get drinks and other goodies made within 5 minutes.Overall their customer service is amazing and the space is super welcoming.Kid-friendliness: I’d say there’s a ton of stuff I’d recommend for the kiddos. They have lots of great cookies and cakes, as well as delicious smoothies to enjoy.“

“Please note we have only been here once and I will edit my review as we have more experiences here.The food was really good and fair price. Staff was really nice. And, the place was clean and well laid out. One dish we had, had scallops in it and they were EXCELLENTLY prepared!!“

“By far best hand pie (mini pie?) I've ever had. Period. Gluten free or otherwise. It was blueberry almond flavored and I devoured it.I also got their version of a blonde which was like a mini coffee cake imo. Also tasty but the PIE. ??This pic is all I managed to snap. So nom.Dietary restrictions: Everything is gluten free!! Magic!“

“First of all the customer service was amazing! Everyone made us feel so welcomed and was constantly checking on us to make sure our experience was great. Now let’s get into the food yummmyyy we had the grilled shrimp skewers grilled chicken P2 P9 A1 everything had so much flavor the toppings were so fresh. We will definitely be back.“

“Let me just say how wonderful this restaurant is-- I am typing out this review in the middle of eating so that I don't forget to give this restaurant the rating it deserves. Firstly let me say, everything we got tasted SO GOOD. We got the wide flat noodles dish with beef, spicy pork dish, Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce, and sesame balls. Can't tell you how good it all is. On top of that, the owner and her daughter are so friendly and kind, and also gave us the pancake scallion for an appetizer on the house and it is the best I have ever eaten. If I lived in town I would be a regular but sadly I am from out of town. Please give this business a visit, you will not be sorry!“

“thank you for offering vegan options!!!!!!! only reason why we ate here and I will definitely be back“

“If you’re looking for great Nigerian food, then Bisi is the place to be. Great flavors. Great vibes. Great hospitality. You will not be disappointed. I love love love Bisi Nigerian Restaurant.“

“I think dine in would’ve been better than take out but since the place is popular and small all the tables were taken so there was no where to sit on a Saturday night. Otherwise, I got the skepasti with the beef ($19.75 with tax, came with a small side of fries) and it was pretty tasty although it felt like it was missing something but I couldn’t tell exactly what. I thought the portion size was kind of small for the price to be honest so I probably wouldn’t come back but it was enjoyable.“

“Great little place! We went there late, around 8:00 and the place was still busy. The wait staff was very attentive and helpful being it was our first time there. We ordered the old fashioned which was very good! I’m a little biased because it was made with 4 Roses Small Batch which is my favorite burbon.We also had the beet salad and the Soppressata Pizza was very good!We will definitely be back when we have more time to enjoy the atmosphere. Great Vibes there!“

“beautiful array of baked goods. Only sampled a meal of stuffed cabbage (excellent mashed potatoes, sauce and cabbage and even carrots were full of flavor but much saltier than I'm used to), lovely roll and dessert. Mexican wedding cookie had good flavor and somewhat tender.“

“They feed you pretty good here and pretty much you could probably split up one meal if a parent with your child. If not then you will have leftovers for lunch or dinner later.Please tip the servers as they really do work hard and are on with refills, condiments, and whatever else before you even ask.Bathroom is a little tight and small but at least clean.Dietary restrictions: They have gluten-free pancakes and also sugar-free syrup.“

“The restaurant has a wide variety of dishes to try. It’s a flavorful adventure customers will never forget.“

“Dinner was great. We've never had a bad meal. We usually try the specials, and they never disappoint. Service is great. Very friendly. One of my favorite dishes , although I have not seen it on the menu for a while, is the Rotollo. I hope to see it again. Thank you Made in Italy for your food and service! That's why we keep coming back ?“

“Delicious food! The atmosphere is intimate and set in, what looks like, a house. It's a small space but perfect for a date night or dinner with friends/family. The tacos are amazing! As is the guacamole and potatoes. Everything I had was 10/10. The drinks are incredible too. Highly recommend coming if you're in the area. The flavors and dishes are unique and not like anything you'll get anywhere else. The chef does an amazing job.“

“Oh my gosh, so many flavors I want to try! There was a quite a line but it moved quickly. The server was kind, repeated the order, and got our scoops correct. There are some tables and chairs inside but can't wait to try the patio in spring and summer! The ice cream was SO good!“
