    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.

    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!

    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.

The team is constantly circling the restaurant to make sure tables are cleared and food comes in a timely manner. We had people with allergies at the table and the team was accommodating and our food had the allergy labels in them. The team was very professional and kind! Food was so good! Everything over all was delivery but some highlights from the shared dinner were the eggplant spread, the brussel sprouts, and date cake. Warmed pitas were seasoned well and texture was fluffy but not too soft where it wasn't able to hold its shape. I could have the sweet potatoes latkes everyday! The lamb ragu hummus and short rib were good but we found the actual protein was a bit dry and flavor subdue compared to their accompaniments. The spicy brisket kabobs were good but we were stuff so we had to slow our roll. The Date cake was delicious! Perfect amount of sweetness for those both sweet lovers and non lovers! 10/10 recommend. We'll be back for brunch sometime!

The mushroom, rice, pilaf and cabbage salad is always such a great combo with any of your proteins. 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. Hummus is so good and better than any other store we've ever purchased from. The combo plate is such a great choice if you're splitting amongst two people and want to get some baklava and hummus on the side or a different type of appetizer.

There's lots of exciting food options on the route, and I did question myself on if this was worth the effort... it was. Small place, but that just fine. The first thing I noticed as I walked in was the smell, oh what a fabulous scent! Meat and complex spices. No other nonsense, no air freshener, no cleaning supply smell, no candles, just the smell of exactly what your here for. The cones of meat are spinning right in front of you behind the counter. What a beautiful sight. I ordered the lunch special #1. It comes with chicken shawarma, chicken kabob, kefta kabob, rice, salad, pita, and a falafel. Less than 12 bucks! Available from 12 to 3 pm, this is a great value. I'll get the negative out of the way here, I didn't care for the chicken kabob. It just felt over done, but good flavor. Also, the pita was a very generic and dry pita. Likely store bought. Not a huge deal but if pita is in your name I expect a decent one. The shawarma was spot on perfect. I've had my fair share of shawarma at this point and I'd put this up near the top, especially on the local scene. The kefta was my favorite part of the plate, the spices really show up and stand out. Perfect cook as well. The rice was nice with some citrus flavor that balanced the plate out. The salad was very basic but tasted fresh. A special mention for their spicy red sauce. THIS. This is the red sauce I always want but no one does it this well. Just the perfect heat level, at the very tip of my tolerance, with plenty of flavor to back up the spice. This is the best red sauce I think I've had period. I usually love the white sauce but catch me here sweating with a smile on my face and red sauce on everything.

We over ordered because again, we were not aware of how big the portions would be and our waiter wasn't very informative: Carrot salad- even as a side this was a big portion to share with delicious light Asian flavors Jibek jolu salad- another great shareable with a tasty dressing and cuts of tender beef Khachapuri- one of the recommended apps, also a big portion to share though we didn't know what to do with the raw egg that came on the side. After flagging someone down to help us, we discovered that this was a delicious cheesy bread with egg mixed in. Crispy eggplant- another recommended app which was delicious and sweet Lamb kurdock- I didn't love this dish it was kind of dry and lacking in flavor but huge with lots of potatoes and veggies Combo skewers- so much meat that was all very tender and flavorful, though it came on one thin soggy tortilla. It would have been nice to have more tortillas on the side to make a wrap. I also tried the chicken tabaka, and this was delicious with a curry flavor. Overall, most dishes were so delicious, but it was a bit of a learning curve on how to order and what to expect.
