I called to see if they could host a special meal for friends celebrating their retirement and it was fabulous!! They created a custom menu for 45 people, set the tables beautifully and served delicious food. Everyone in our group loved the food and appreciated the kindness of the owners!
We got a variety of vegetarian food here, all super delicious. Probably the best middle-eastern I have ever had (and I have lived in New York and Chicago).Grape Leaves: tangy and deliciousMoussaka: tomato-ey, comfortingFalafel: crispy and excellently spicedMujadarra: soft, delicately spiced, excellent pairing with crispy fried sweet onionsHummus: creamy, garlick-y, deliciousTabbouleh: refreshing, tangy and freshAnd finally, fresh-out-the-oven soft, pillowy bread to scoop it all up.Go to this place, it is amazing!
Tried a variety if foods, all very flavorful. Simple, family-owed restaurant.
Ordered here yesterday for takeout and the owners/staff are nice. The food was also delicious, and you can tell it is made fresh (so it’s worth the bit of wait!). The fries are nicely seasoned and the chicken sandwich was filled with juicy and well-seasoned chicken. We also got a mix platter with rice and the hummus and salad are nice touches on the side. The biggest draw for coming here was the kunafeh…while it didn’t give me the gooey, cheesiness I was hoping for it was still good and satisfied the craving. All in all, yummy and reasonably priced for the portions. Would come again.
A great little restaurant with awesome food. The falafel sandwich is great, with crispy yet soft falafel and tart pickles. I usually add an appetizer of Baba Ghanoush, which is smoky and perfect. The grape leaves are also amazing. Service can be slow, but let them work their magic!!
Amazing food. We ordered the family platter and the food was amazing. Best Middle Eastern good I have had. Highly recommend this place!
The food was absolutely delicious. We got the Vegetarian Mixed Appetizer, the Mixed Grill Platter, and the Kefta Kabab. Their hummus is silky smooth and they top it off with a high quality olive oil that tastes amazing. Their chicken was cooked to perfection - it wasn't dry like most places. My favorite item though was the Baba Ghannouj. I will definitely be eating here again.
Delicious Middle Eastern option. Not much ambiance but food is so tasty. Be patient, all food scratch made with limited staff.Our party of four was one of only two tables seated on cold Saturday night but they were also moving a fair amount of carry out. Son ordered the vegetarian app sampler. I got the two children skewers, probably the best flavor I have have experienced with chicken. Wife and other son got the two skewer sampler and side of lentil soup. All included delicious hummus.All in all a good experience at a hidden gem on near south side.
We had 10 people to feed (take away order) and got the Mixed Grill Family Platter and tried pretty much every appetizer and WOW. The family platter was fantastic. I think my favorite appetizers were the falafel and hummus - but it was all truly so delicious. We will absolutely be coming back again and again!!
Amazing food! I loved the tabbouleh and the mixed grill! Can definitely recommend for some delicious takeout!!
