There is not a bad choice on the menu here. I always get the Lula plate. When it's described on the menu that it is cooked to perfection, I can honestly say that's not exaggeration. 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. Or if you just want variety the, plate is amazing. I could not recommend this place enough! If you haven't tried Siunik please stop in! Or order it to go. It's great to take home but there's nothing like having it fresh in the restaurant. It really elevates it.

Tired of the same dull, old menu selections? I was. That's why when given the option to select…read morethe restaurant for my Birthday dinner I chose Ararat. Tucked unassumingly in a shopping mall in Mundelein, Ararat is a tiny hidden gem. With only about an 8 table dining room, it is a cozy, intimate venue, with a huge and amazing menu, featuring Armenian cuisine. A party of 4, we ordered drinks, 3 appetizers, and an entree for each of us. The portions were generous, delicious, and we probably over-ordered by at least one appetizer, but we wanted to sample and share as many dishes as possible. We began with glasses of tasty Armenian apricot wine. Our appetizers came out in sequence rather than all at once, starting with Italian Lady's Fingers. A mixed salad of cooked bell peppers, nuts, onion and prunes. Very good. Next we were served Khorovats, Armenian style grilled eggplant . Also an excellent dish. Last was beef and lamb dumplings, Khinkili. One of these large, juicy dumplings could have been almost half a meal by itself. I've tried khinkili in a number of restaurants, and these were the best I've eaten. Our entrees were Steak Kebab, Lamb Kebab, Lamb Rice Pilaf, and Frikasse, a chicken, mushroom, vegetable in sour cream sauce dish. All were very good, and were were saddened that we were all too full to try any of their baked goods desserts. The meal was excellent, the small dining room comfy and the service very good. One word of caution: If you plan to dine here you must be patient. Dishes were served as they were prepared, and apparantly little if anything is prepared in advance. The advantage is hot, fresh, and tasty dishes. The disadvantage is that there was a 10 minute delay between service of the 1st and 4th entree. We were in no hurry, so we did not mind. Also we were sharing our selection. For a casual, relaxed, delicious dining adventure I highly recommend Ararat.

It's so refreshing when a restaurant can do this! I wanted my family to experience a glimpse of Kyrgyz food, so of course we ordered all the things only a local would know about ! Shout out to our guide during our trip- he made sure we tried lots of cuisine that was all the way Kyrgyz food! The crispy eggplant is a must and is my favorite ! The eggplant is light and the sauce that is drenched on top is perfect to balance the fried crispy exterior. Next I ordered Samsa, Plov, and lamb kurdock. My husband ordered the beef rib and mash potatoes. Not the most Kyrgyz but he did try everything and loved it all! If you want a taste of central Asian cuisine please come to Jibek Jolu! Don't forget the honey cake!

Exploring the menu was awesome because some of the food was very new to me and I wish there was a way for me to order and try more than just one dish. I had the Rice Plov which was SO GOOD!!! I had never even heard of it before until i came here! Would definitely recommend coming here to try at least once!

In a strip mall, yet comfortable cushioned seating inside and plenty of it. You can get a choice of appetizers such as falafel balls, hummus, or loaded fries.

I tried the veggie platter and got falafel, hummus, baba ghannouj, and salad along with pita bread. There's even a shawarma bowl. For drinks, there's a machine with all sorts of choices. The food was filling; in fact - we all had to take about 10-20% of our dinners home with us!

Their food is very good both my wife & I ordered the mixed meat signature plate for $19 a piece. This dish comes w/a very good variety of meats like chicken & beef shawarma, grilled chicken, grilled beef & beef kifta along with/a Mediterranean salad, yellow rice & 4 - 1/2 pocket pitas perfect for making a pita sandwich. We took the 1/2 pita & put a variety of chicken, beef, salad & yellow rice & topped it w/tahini sauce & hot sauce. This made an excellent pita pocket sandwich. The mixed meat platter makes for an excellent meal w/generous sized portions & excellently seasoned meal. In fact we had left overs so I will have lunch tomorrow. The Groupon made a good meal even better because we were able to order 2 excellent meals for $20. PPMG has multiple locations all over Chicagoland. This one was in Palatine off of Dundee & 53. I've also eaten @ the Rolling Ghetto & Lombard locations. I see they also have locations in Des Plaines, Chicago (closer to me), Skokie, 200 W Randolph (no parking). Good solid Mediterranean food & made even better by Groupon

This is a no star hotel. I've been here for almost a month, mid way through my stay the manager…read moreasked me to move room because she stated she didn't know we had a dog and pet was not allowed on that side of the hotel. Ok, but I've seen plenty of other pets on that side since we've stayed, but ok, I'll move. No problem. I just don't want to deal with it, so we moved. Well, I noticed no one was ever placed in any of the rooms surrounding me, and some day left open and unoccupied. Two nights ago I noticed a mouse and that was the last straw for me I don't do rodents so we asked to be moved the Manager Yamilex had the nerves to say we have a dog and maybe the dog food is attracting the mice to our room. I explained no there a hole in the wall." That's where they are coming from." Her response was yeah, that's normally how they get in and would not move us." My wife got off work and decided that she didn't want to stay in the room, so she called the corp customer care of Wyndham. I told them the situation, so they put in a claim. A few moments later, the manager knocked on the door and stated she didn't like my comment about how rude she was and that she'd move me for the night, but I had to leave today. Now this lady has been nothing but rude to me, I feel as if she moved me to the other side of the hotel were the rooms are still being renovated because I'm black and she just don't like me for no reason. I have never done anything to this lady, always nice, polite, respectful, and she is just always rude to just me. I've set and watched how she interacted with others, and then I came up to the desk for help, and I received an attitude. So I'm leaving this here because Wyndham corporate don't give two Sh**.

My friend recommended this place to me since I go to Middle Eastern restaurants and cafes semi…read moreoften. This is located next to B'n Chingon (an okay Mexican place). Parking is sufficient. This is a nice, small Middle Eastern market compared to Souq Fresh Market in Lombard. Souq is very big. This market has a lot of unique Middle Eastern snacks that I've never seen before along with a kitchen that you can order lunch and dinner from. Lunch is served 10 am - 2 pm. I believe dinner is served from 2 pm to 9 pm. Don't quote me on the end dinner times. They have 3 tables that you can eat at. I came after 10:20 am and I ordered the chicken kufta lunch special, two different kinds of samosa, and kebabs. Prices were cheap, I got all of this for $25. They also have an area where you can get some fresh meat and deli items. Staff was friendly. Overall 4 out of 5. If they fixed the kebabs, it would easily be a 5. -chicken kufta lunch special 5 - he made this fresh. You get one pita bread with it. Meat was soft and tender. The rice and salad were very tasty. Huge portion. -samosas 5 - I got one beef and one potato. They were both delicious. -kebabs 3.5 - he gave me two big kebabs but they did not taste freshly made. I'm no stranger to kebabs and I usually like my kebabs to be tender and juicy. These were semi tough and kind of dry inside. I can see the spices in them but they would taste even better new.

The beef short rib, paired with more marrow and the butter sauce were absolutely incredible and we will be thinking about them for a long time to come.
