Everything about this restaurant is epic ?! The owners are very nice and the food is delicious and made to perfection.Must recommend for bachelors and families.

Probably one of the best meals I have had in quite some time. The cocktail menu looked expansive as well. The ambiance of the restaurant is chic and comfortable.

We stopped for a quick late dinner and my kids are vegetarian, so they enjoy flavorful nutritious substitutes.. and although the staff were almost ready to close, we were welcomed and the food was fresh and delicious!

Fresh, delicious, high-quality, and good-looking dishes!Generous portions too! We visited on our way back home (from Peoria), first time there. Service was great, staff very respectful! Nice area, prices reasonable, and nice music on! My daughter and I are both picky when it comes to meat dishes. I rarely like chicken dishes, but the chicken dish (in picture) tasted amazing, my daughter enjoyed her shish kabob. One suggestions: please use silverware, not plasticware. The plastic knife is hard to use with the meat dishes.

We ordered the chicken shwarma platter, the gyro platter, the vegetarian combo platter, and the falafel sandwich. Everyone enjoyed their food well enough, but, the prices were quite high.Also, there was only one person that acted as both the host and the waiter, so the service was very slow.Also, they don't give cups of water. That's a big con for me. You have to purchase any drink you want in bottle or a can.Overall, this a good Mediterranean spot in Peoria. Personally, the quality of the food is not worth the price and the lack of free water. So, I wouldn't come back.

I would love to know how Jenin Village has a single good review, and I’m not trying to trash them. I tried this place when it opened and the food was horrible. Chef Moussa was so busy they took the phone off the hook so I thought I’d give it another try. The phone call went like this-“yeah, I just got the to go order of Fatoush and hummus”… “ok”….”well, it wasn’t good. The hummus is actually watery and the fatoush has so much parsley you can’t taste anything else. Plus some dressing would have been nice”…”silence……silence…..silence”…. “I can understand why you don’t have any customers during dinner time”…”lots more silence”…”ok, then I guess I’ll say thanks for listening” and I hung up.

I've been here a couple of different times. In my opinion, this place is overly expensive for what you get. I recently got the chicken shawarma platter and I found the meat to be dry and the rice to be tasteless.

I had the privilege to meet with the owners today. I cannot wait to visit this amazing store and try their food and fresh bread. All the Best!

Best grilled chicken breast and the seasoned fries are to die for. I highly recommend this restaurant. Nicest owners ever...great people great service!!!

My favorite place to order out! I love the vegetarian combo. The baba ganoush is so delicious. Very friendly service. Highly recommend!
