    Chicken Kufta over rice with a side of falafel
    Vincent S.

    I had a fresh, tasty lunch. Great service and nice space. I would have like to have had better pita for my hummus. Overall, the food is very good.

    Really enjoyed the food here! The owners are so nice and attentive, checking in multiple times to make sure the food was good. I'm a huge fan of Mediterranean food so I was excited about this new place opening up in Evanston. I got a beef kofta wrap and a beef shawarma Arabian style to share and they were both very tasty and fresh with a lovely aroma of spices. The kofta was my favorite and is usually my go to at Mediterranean restaurants. The restaurant itself had a steady flow of customers coming and going but it was never overwhelming. it a nice counter service restaurant that has a casual vibe. There's street parking outside as well. They only had water bottles and so we had to pay for water, which isn't my preference. But beyond that, no complaints.

    Loved the ambiance and the chicken shawarma was really good. Will definitely be coming back!

    The beef kabob plate is so tender and juicy and chicken schwarm sandwich is scrumptious (get Arabian style). Plus, the owner is so lovely

    Poor effort, portion size was tiny and pita bread was pathetic. Wanted this local place to be good but it just isn't.

    Fantastic food and very friendly! Did I mention great food and they're friendly? The falafel is "light."

    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!

    Returned again for quick lunch. This time I knew what to do and ordered the chicken shawarma…read moresandwich. Lot's of moist flavorful chicken in a fresh pita and fresh tomatoes, labneh, and well seasoned veggies. Super tasty.
