    The food was very tasty and the portions were big. The owner is very kind and friendly and creates such a nice, welcoming atmosphere. We were even treated to a delicious soup before our meal arrived, which was a lovely surprise. Highly recommend this place!

    I picked up a carryout Adam's platter for $20.99 and paid $23.88 all-in.  Overall, I say about 4.5 stars for the quality and value but I knocked it back a star (so 3.5 stars rounded to 4) because they charged an unannounced and unadvertised 4% credit card fee which I didn't register until I looked at the receipt later.  I don't like surprises like that out of principle and being a senior Asian guy, I carry cash anyway which I could have used. Rant over, I thought the food quality and portions were quite good.  The platter even included a lamb chop, again unadvertised but a pleasant surprise adder to the kefta and chicken shawarma protein items.  I don't know if a lamb chop is normally included, but I'm guessing probably not as it's not advertised and it's a premium item.  The salad, hummus, and pita bread were good quality also.  Like an ice cream shop, customers come and go in waves to this hidden and small strip mall location.  I had a little wait (about 15 minutes) at 7:30pm as a couple was ahead of me and the lone attendant took care of a carryout order also.   Overall, thumbs up, but do put a sign up about your convenience fee.

    Maybe the freshest  falafel I've ever eaten. They make them fresh to order, so crispy on the outside and packed with moist flavor inside.

    Since it's been three years since my first visit to Adam's Kabab, I thought I would update my first review to basically say the food here is as good as ever. Owner Jamal sure knows how to cook fresh felafel, among other things. His chicken shawarma is easily the best in the area. He always makes the falafel fresh. It's crispy to the bite and extremely flavorful and moist inside. Also love the stuffed grape leaves. You get a mountain of great food with every dinner. Mmm, so good.

    Adams Kabob in Glenview is a nice little place for some Mediterranean food. It wasn't busy when I went in on a Sunday afternoon. I took a few minutes to look over the menu and then decided on the Adam Kabob platter that comes with a little bit of everything and the Jerusalem fries. I enjoyed how the food is cooked to order so I didn't mind the little bit of wait to get piping hot food. The Jerusalem fries were interesting, I wish it came with more feta cheese because that was my favorite part about it. The fries itself did not stand out to me all that much. I wasn't sure what I was expecting. The Adams Kabob combo comes with rice, hummus, salad, falafel, pita, chicken schwarma, beef. It is a nice little around the menu eats. I enjoyed the portion size I had enough leftover for another meal. I enjoyed how everything was seasoned and cooked. The sauces that were provided on the side added a nice touch to the meal too. Plenty of people call and order ahead and came and picked up. Now I know.

    This is a nice no frills kinda joint, the interior is small, just a few tables. No drink machine, only bottled and can options. You buss yourself but the gentleman did bring the food to the table, so there is some service. That all said, the food was very good. I got the chicken shawarma sandwich which comes wrapped in a large pita with potatoes inside as well. Excellent flavors but I did get some gristle which was the only low point. The falafel was very tasty and not oily at all. The dipping sauces were good, I found the white sauce a bit watery but enjoyed the spicy sauce and the chunkier yogurt sauce. The Jerusalem potatoes were excellent. I like the way they cut them and the extra seasoning is a nice touch. The crispy ones were the best, but not all of them were perfect. The feta that came with the fries was good quality as well. I'd definitely come back and try some other stuff.

    Wonderful Mediterranean fast casual restaurant with super fresh food! Absolutely huge steak kabob served with rice, nicely dressed salad and hummus. Made fresh while we waited. Chicken shawarma was also super tasty and served with all of the same accompaniments. Portions easily feed two. They also gave us complementary lentil soup that was very tasty. Everything was gluten free as well. Definitely recommend!

    Social Inn has been on my to-try list for some time.  My husband and I finally had a chance to…read morecheck it out on a Monday evening recently.  I made a reservation via Tock that I already had an account for years, so that was simple. On a weekday evening, as expected, the restaurant was not busy.  We were promptly seated at a 4-top table (2 × 2-top) against the right wall, with some other 2-tops on both sides.  Like many reviewers had mentioned, the venue was beautiful, modern and chic. There were 7 tables occupied, including us.  The music that they had was not too loud, just that customers' conversations were amplified by the box shape open dining area.  If we focused enough, we could hear every conversation if we wanted to.  This was obvious when a table of about 6 women got seated at a table near the front door, some of them laughed and talked very loudly.  My husband and I just found it funny and didn't let that bother us.  However, when the restaurant is filled on busier days, it might be a different story. Our server, Patrick, was very nice and attentive.  Since they did not list drinks on their menu except those with alcohol, I asked him about non-alcoholic drinks.  After a brief "discussion", he asked me to leave it to him to make me a drink with mango.  He came up with a beautiful drink that was good and refreshing, with some mango flavor.  It was Virgin Paloma on our receipt for $8, which was reasonable.  He was very polite and checked in on us several times at appropriate times during our dinner.  The pace of the dinner was good, we spent a total of an hour and 15 minutes in the restaurant. Patrick might be the only waiter serving all the tables that evening, though. I also ordered Grilled Octopus ($22) which was very good, tender and flavorful, but was a little too salty to my taste.  The small pita bread wedges were warm and fluffy with some crispy edges, the beet hummus was creamy, and everything was delicious and tasted fresh.  I generously shared 2 little bites of octopus with my husband and I finished the entire plate, it was so good!  My husband really liked his Spiked White Fish ($29) and I shared a bite of that too.  He also had a House Salad for $6, that was a very good value.  He enjoyed a glass of Sauvignon Blanc Crossing ($12) too.  We also shared an order of Crème Brulee ($8), that was creamy and cooked perfectly.  We ordered a takeout order of Rigatoni with Sausage ($23), that was a good portion, and was still delicious and al dente the next day after being microwaved. I am so happy that we found Social Inn - a hidden gem in Plaza del Prado, it's not far from home, with comfortable and beautiful ambiance, excellent service (from Patrick), an attractive menu with enticing food (fresh ingredients and appealing plating), and reasonable prices, we will definitely be back!

We were in the area late in the day and remembered Social Inn was open, so we went. We ordered a variety of items. I had the Social Burger (at least 1/2 pound), we also ordered their chicken dinner salad and the beet hummus. Everything was delicious. I did order my burger medium and it was delivered well done, but it was still good. They also have one of the best gluten-free buns I've ever had. I do wish they were open at lunch time still, but I understand they need to be open for their busiest hours. Social Inn is a great option when you are in the Glenview area.

We always give baba ganoush with the dish because we end up ordering a large hummus on the side just for leftovers at home because they're homemade.

We made a reservation because I'd heard this place can get pretty busy. Although it didn't seem too crowded when we first arrived on a Saturday, it filled up quickly throughout our meal. I definitely recommend making a reservation, especially if you're planning to come for dinner. As soon as we walked in, I was struck by how beautiful the restaurant is. Since the building was once a church, they preserved the stained-glass windows and cathedral ceilings, which give the space so much character. We ended up sitting on the patio because it was a gorgeous day, but I definitely want to come back and dine inside so I can fully appreciate the interior. The patio was modern, spacious, and completely shaded, making it very comfortable. Since it's located right next to the little lake, we also enjoyed a nice breeze throughout our meal. Our waitress was friendly and attentive overall, but there was one moment that stood out. My friend's baby accidentally knocked over a full glass of iced coffee, spilling it all over my friend's lap and onto the floor. The waitress watched as my friend cleaned up the mess herself but didn't offer to help or replace the spilled drink. Aside from that, the service was good. My friends and I all ordered something different, and everyone enjoyed their meals. I had the salmon poke bowl ($19), which was fresh, flavorful, and incredibly refreshing. The ingredients tasted high quality, and all the flavors worked really well together. It was more filling than I was expecting! Price-wise, I expected the menu to be more expensive than it actually was. I'm sure dinner prices are higher, especially for steak and seafood, but the brunch menu was quite reasonable. Most breakfast and brunch dishes range from $12-$20, making it a great value for both the quality of the food and the beautiful atmosphere. Overall, we all enjoyed our experience and I'll for sure be back! I'd love to try other menu items and come for dinner, too!
