I think I came on day 2 of this location being open. Even so, I thought this place had some pretty…read moretasty food. While not perfect, I think this was an excellent addition to downtown Evanston. I kind of wished there was more of an explanation of how to order. It looks like there is a plate, a sandwich, or a salad version. I guess it's kind of Chipotle style, but I was curious on what the sandwich would entail. I just went with the plate as it seemed like the most simple and if there was something I didn't like, I could just skip it. Here's what I had: Hummus: Excellent and a decent portion. I wish it came with a full pita instead of a half. Chickpea Salad: I hated the taste of it. I think it might have been me, but that was a miss for me Chicken with rice: Outstanding! The highlight of the plate. Cooked perfectly and served nice and hot. They offered to put on the hot sauce and I said "yes"! Whew, that's a spicy sauce! Loved it Add a $2 water and we are in business! The water was some kind of Icelandic brand which was a nice change from just Ice Mountain. As for price, everything cost me $15 which isn't bad for downtown Evanston. For the quality and portions I got, it worked! The only other downside is the place is a little small, but it's looking smaller with all the people in line right now. I really liked this place and o can see it going pretty well!

The kebab chicken I ordered was very moist and delicious and I took half of it home. They had wonderful bread, dill rice, and a tomato salad. Excellent hummus very creamy. I will definitely come back and maybe next time try some of their desserts they look fantastic. It would be fun to come with a big group share family style.

Garlic sauce, cheakpea based sauce and one spicy sauce I could not tell what it is made from. But all sauces were very good!

This is a counter service restaurant where we place order at the counter and they bring out the food to the table. Regardless, great Mediterranean food experience!

Honestly I think…read morethey are understaffed, I noticed a single person manning the register and making food, one auntie in the back shifting around, it took about 30 minutes for me to get my order and I was second in line the moment I walked in. I also have to say that the food is heated up for lunch. I think they cook in the morning and otherwise most of the food is just kept warm. That impacts the food quite a bit, the chicken shawarma we had was very dry and hard to eat. I like the people but honestly the business itself has some reflecting to do.
