I called them because I wasn't sure if the online version would be too slow. We were a group of three that came in Saturday night at 7 pm. It was moderately busy. The staff were all welcoming with smiles on their faces and attentiveness. Prices were fair for the amount of food you receive. Food portions are colossal so I would recommend one appetizer and one entree if you are a couple. They give you a complimentary dish. We ordered arayes with meat, meat toshka, mixed grill with baba ghanouj, fillet of basa fried, and mint lemonade. They also offer you fresh Arabic coffee before you leave. This is about a 4.5-5. -arayes with meat 4 - this was not bad. It's like a tamer version of the meat toshka. -meat toshka 5 - I prefer this over the arayes because they add the Syrian cheese. This one was bursting with flavor the moment you took a bite out of it. The minced beef and lamb just melt in the mouth. -mixed grill 5 - this came with 3 big skewers (shish kabab, kufta kabab, and chicken tawook. It also has tomatoes and onions to help cut down the meat when digesting. There are two heaping portions of biryani and saffron rice and baba ghanouj. The baba ghanouj was creamy and flavorful. It goes well with the pita bread. The meats were cooked medium well unless you want something. I think next time I'll ask for the shish kababs to be cooked medium rare or medium for a more juicy taste. The chicken tawook and kufta were both succulent. -fillet of basa fried 5 - the two pieces of basa fillet were astronomical. It also comes with two different kinds of rice. The fish was flaky, moist, and seasoned. Make sure you add the lemon and eat it with the sauce. -mint lemonade 5 - this was very refreshing after eating a heavy meal.

The salad and hummus came out within a few minutes and the food itself was actually very good. No water given at this time. Unfortunately, the service was disappointing. We waited almost an hour for our main entrée, had to ask for the water again, and the Nutella shake we ordered was never served at all. Our server was not attentive throughout the night. One more thing to watch out for -- a 15% tip was automatically added to the bill, so make sure to check before paying. The food was enjoyable, but the poor service really affected the overall experience.

The place is very busy so parking can be a bit hard to find but they do have an overflow lot. Inside, they have a seating area where you can wait until you're seated at a table. Both times I've been there the wait time was around 20-30 minutes but trust me, the food is worth the wait. Even though they were busy, our server was attentive and the food didn't take too long to come out. I went with a group and for our appetizer we tried the platter that comes with hummus, baba ganoush, grape leaves, and fresh pita bread. For my drink, I had the lemon mint smoothie...very refreshing. The plates that my husband and I got were the chicken shawarma sandwich with a salad and the filet plate that comes with rice as well as grilled tomato and grilled onion. They give you generous portions which made it possible for me to share some of my meal with someone in my group to try and I still had leftovers. Finally, we could not leave without having dessert. We had knafeh which is made fresh. Everything was amazing and I can't wait to come back next time I visit the Chicagoland area.

Just the bowl of lamb broth pre-meal is worth an hour of wait. I DREAM OF THAT BROTH, it was that good. I wanted to seek out the chef, and kiss his/her hands, but I don't have bail money, so I didn't. Their grilled fish was also to die for; booked through perfectly, and juicy, with a bunch of beautifully caramelized seasoning giving it a scrumptious yet delicate flavor. Baba Ghanoush can be had as a main, versus a side, the portion is aplenty, and the flavor is top notch; I prefer my ghanoush more chunky, but this is creamy and satisfying too! Overall, thoroughly satisfied, this is the kind of meal that will have you hating yourself for not getting here sooner! Go try it now..... it's not just about Yemeni Coffee, the food is amazing too!

Aside from that, you won't have a problem finding seating. That is if you go on a weekday or a slow day on the weekend. When it's busy on a Saturday night, you will have to wait for a table. They have tables outside and inside. On your right side, you will have those viral fruit dessert cakes and drinks. On your left side towards the windows, you'll find ice cream. Then you'll have baklavas, kunafas, maamouls, bird's nest, etc. Most of the dry desserts have a lot of pistachios, cashews, and walnuts. The downside is that most of the products are not labeled nor do they list a price in the case. You will have to ask. Not all of the staff understand English either. Prices are not bad. The ice cream is overpriced for one scoop. You can get that cheaper in Bridgeview. Most of the staff was nice, some of them could work on their attitude better. If they labeled their products, people wouldn't ask so many questions. We tried kunafa, pistachio baklava, 3 different kinds of bird's nest, passion fruit ice cream, and 2 different matcha drinks. The kunafa was excellent. It was fresh, hot, cheesy, and chewy. The pistachio baklava was good, not sweet at all. We tried the lotus, Nutella, and pistachio bird's nest. The lotus and pistachio are not too sweet. Nutella is rich if you love chocolate. The bird's nest was soft and crispy. The ice cream was good, they put in real pieces of passion fruit. I had the pomegranate matcha drink and it was good, make sure you stir it well. Overall, this is a 4 out of 5. I took of points for the overpriced ice cream and some of the customer service.

I checked the prices online on their website and that is not what we were charged. I made an effort to allow them to correct this by giving them a call, no one answers the phone.

I usually have no issues when I am eating in person, but sadly this experience was not the same. This is really upsetting and left us without a resolution. I like to support businesses that have integrity and care about the service and products they are offering their customers. Zmzm sweets I personally feel does not care about customers experience nor provides a way to remedy problems. All we are left to do is leave a review and hope we can bring attention to the issues that they should care about resolving. Looking over some other customer reviews I am very doubtful that anyone will follow up in the odd chance someone does I look forward to addressing the issues at hand.
