The kind man behind the counter offered a complimentary falafel. I've never been a fan despite trying them in numerous restaurants around the world. All I can say is that Al Rasheed changed my opinion on falafel forever. What they serve is so much better than most other falafel, it deserves its own name. The bakery is unassuming but the falafel is amazing.

Visiting Al Rasheed Bakery takes me on a nostalgic journey back to my childhood. As a little kid, I…read morewould walk to this store when they were located in Chicago, and the first thing that would hit my senses was the irresistible smell of freshly baked bread hot out of the oven. Their bread is always soft, fluffy, and when paired with their delicious homemade falafel, it creates the best combination you'll ever find anywhere in the world! Service is great with some of the most respectful gentleman ready to assist with your order. While they sell Middle Eastern food and home goods, there's no doubt in my mind that their bread and falafel are the highlight when visiting this bakery.

From the initial inquiry form, up to my pick up time, they were just so wonderful to work with. I emailed them my vision and they NAILED IT! I ordered the funfetti, strawberry and cream cake; it was super soft, fluffy, and not overly sweet! This cake was for a surprise party and everyone was raving about it. When it was time for me to pick up the cake, I arrived earlier than expected as I was near the area and they had it ready - everyone was so welcoming. I got to see the cake and was blown away! The prices are also very reasonable. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for baked goods. I can't wait to place my next cake order with them

Has lots to choose from. They have more of a Mexican influence but they can make many types of pastries. Came here in the morning and got stuff that was freshly baked. It's kind of a small place that has a counter. They take a lot of custom orders. A popular place around here to get cakes. Popular whether for things like birthdays or weddings, they'll make it for you. A lot of amazing examples. They also have a lot simpler items like breads and cookies you can just pop in and get. It's about $6 to get a big loaf that's freshly baked. The pastries include cannoli and other classics as well as classic Mexican ones like panaderia and that kind of stuff. Great stuff especially when it's fresh. It's closed Sundays. This is among the several bakeries on Western.

I tried to purchase a refund, but the owner refused to issue a refund. I didn't want to ask to place another order because the owner was sweeping the floor when I came into the restaurant and taking a phone call with gloves on while I was looking around the store at the beautiful undercooked bakery pastries a customer walked in while she was on the phone and she served the customer after the call in dirty gloves. I will never go to this place again this is not the way to run a business if help is needed hire help. I would give no stars if I can. The only excuse she tried to use was the bread dough comes only one time in the morning which doesn't explain why I was given old pastries when I placed my order in advance.

I was just at this establishment about an hour ago.. and unfortunately, I was treated pretty rudely…read morein a very short amount of time. To briefly explain... I ordered, paid for the order, then my wrap was being prepared. I see the worker putting the finishing touches on my wrap, crisping it on the grill.. so I wait to be handed my order. While waiting, someone else comes in.. orders and pays, customizes their bowl.. receives their bowl ....and then is given an extra bowl that a customer didn't pick up and was told it was to make up for the "wait".. meanwhile, the worker who made my wrap has long disappeared and my order has been sitting on the grill. That person who came in after me, has now left. I only received my order a few minutes after that. Btw there were no other people in line waiting. Just me, standing there for over 15 minutes waiting on an order that was done. Also, the way I was talked to was not okay when I was asked was 'said bowl' my order. So unfortunately, this came across as racially motivated, since I was treated as less of a priority. And it's really rare that I feel that way but... this was a weirdly rude experience. Will not be returning. Thank you for my meal.
