Not gonna lie, Australians have meat pies as a common food, and I'm not sure why the hell it's not caught on more in the US. Meat+ pastry +small size = amazing. They've a nice big selection of meat pies and rolls, prices were surprisingly reasonable, and their pastries won me over quite easily. (Cinnamon rolls and scones!). I was surprised my kids liked the pies and rolls too. My son's pretty picky (ugh), but he asked for a 2nd sausage roll which was nice to see. Didn't finish it, but even liking it enough to ask for another and eat half is like Xmas come early for us. Flavors and textures are great! Just watch burning your tongue... which I did twice in our visit. Worth it though. Wanted to make sure I post up here since it's a local place opened recently and need it to stick around for a good long time. Only other place to get meat pies is downtown chicago which is annoying to get to.

Well, first of all, our server Jenna was so sweet and nice even though she had to explain all of…read morethe Australian items to me. Yes, you read that correctly, an Australian cafe!! The owner was such a lovely woman, with a beautiful smile that would go around the world. Wait, wait wait! The best part is how dog-friendly they are! They have some fresh water and little mini Milk-Bones out for the pups. So next time, perhaps we will pack up our family of 5 (husband, wife, Bailey the dog, and Mashi and Jimin Jin the cats on harnesses) and all head here. Sadly, no vegan options, but any vegetarian or omnivore will do well here. Tip: order their hedgehog with walnuts! My husband thinks they are sublime.

My mom and I have been to Pita Pita many times, and it has become one of our favorite local spots…read more We've ordered a variety of items from the menu over the years, and every single meal has been consistently delicious. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and made with care. Whether it's the shawarma, kebabs, falafel, or their amazing sides, we've never been disappointed. You can really taste the quality and authenticity in every bite. The staff is always welcoming, the restaurant is clean with plenty of seating, and it's a great place to enjoy a meal. I also love supporting a local business that serves such incredible authentic Palestinian food. If you're looking for consistently delicious Middle Eastern cuisine, I highly recommend giving Pita Pita a try. It's a place we keep coming back to, and I'm sure you will too!

Our friends were visiting from Michigan and wanted to take us out to lunch, so we chose Beez…read morebecause it was close to home. It turned out to be a great choice for a casual, healthy meal. Beez is a small, counter-service restaurant--somewhere between fast food and a sit-down restaurant--but without sacrificing freshness or quality. The dining area is simple, clean, and pleasant, with a few tables for eating in. The service was friendly and welcoming, and the food was good. The portions were generous enough that we all ended up taking food home. My favorite was definitely the falafel. They were fresh, flavorful, and cooked just right. Everything we ordered was satisfying, fresh, and well prepared, making it a great alternative to the typical fast-food lunch. If you're looking for something healthier that doesn't take forever, this is an excellent option. Overall, everyone in our group left happy. Good food, generous portions, friendly service, and a convenient location make Beez an easy place to recommend for a quick, satisfying Mediterranean lunch. According to the restaurant, it specializes in Mediterranean cuisine along with Turkish, Pakistani, and Indian-inspired dishes, so there is a wide variety of flavors to choose from. (ubereats.com)

Jbeez is UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT and I'm so glad we decided to check them out again after our visit…read moreover a year ago. They decorated the dining area very nice. Tables are best, tidy and the place is very clean. The Pakistani food is delicious, made fresh daily and they offer halal meat entrees. The menu has expanded quite a bit and offers dishes for every palette from non spicy to spicy both vegetarian and various meats. They had a huge catering order of over 50 Nihari containers that smelled and looked really good! (I'll have to try that next time too!). The Mediterranean Grill items provide hummus, salad and rice accompaniments! I ordered the boneless chicken breast shish kabab which had a generous amount of meat. We also ordered the chicken tikka which came with 4 pcs (2 leg quarters). All the meat had nice seasonings, flavor and were not overly spiced. We ordered 2 lacha paratha's to accompany all the chicken that were really tasty. Even though we were full, we couldn't stop eating the rest of the paratha's! The chai and kheer was spot on and not to be missed! We plan on returning on a weekend to try their puri halwa. The owners are very friendly and make sure you are fully satisfied and happy with your meals. It's a great place for real authentic Desi food!

That says everything. The culture there truly stands out, from the manager to the entire team. It's built on integrity, honesty, and trust. Beyond that, the entire experience just feels right. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and the kind of place you actually want to come back to, not just for the food, but for how they treat people. This is one of those rare spots you confidently recommend to friends, family, and anyone looking for a place that delivers on every level.

This is a storefront restaurant with a drive thru. It is a lot larger in here than I was expecting. Lots of booths and tables for dine in and even some outdoor tables. I like that you can fill your own fountain drinks at the drink bar. The dining room is very clean and they have pop music playing in the background. I ordered the combo which is a full sandwich (Turkey Avocado Club no tomatoes) and 1/2 Berry and Nut salad with buttermilk ranch dressing. All I can say is wow!! The salad looks like it is a full size and the taste is amazing! Definitely a great value for $12.99... it also came with a roll and a chocolate covered strawberry too! My husband ordered 1/2 Soup Chicken Enchilada Chili and picked the Chicken Pesto for his full Sandwich. The bread is amazing. I would compare the texture to a fresh English muffin only thicker and very pleasing to eat! So so good! I highly recommend dining here! Everything we had was amazing! There is a strawberry parfait and cheesecake on the menu for dessert. We will definitely be back to try more combinations! We received service with a smile too!

This time, though, the meal missed the mark a bit. The cream of chicken and rice soup had a mushy texture, almost like the rice had broken down completely, and I could barely find any actual chicken -- maybe a strand or two. It felt more like "chicken-flavored cream of mushy rice" soup. The Grecian chicken was tasty but the skin was burnt from the broiler. The flavors were still good overall, but the textures made it less enjoyable. I'm hoping it was just an off night, because when everything's fresh, this place can be excellent.

I commented on the gambling machines that were inside the restaurant and he made a snarky comment about where was I from that this is unusual. I let him know I was from out of state. I then asked for recommendations. He said the breaded steak sandwich is popular. I was feeling more like Italian beef, which is what I ordered. Even though I ordered the sandwich, wet, the beef came out dry, and had three pieces of green pepper on it. I don't know if I have ever had just green pepper on an Italian beef sandwich before. There was nothing extraordinary about the sandwich. Shaved beef on a bun. That's it. As basic as it gets. It was lacking any type of flavor, so I tried to dress it up with salt and pepper, which only helped marginally. I sat down at a table, not more than 15 feet away from where the owner was leaning against the counter. Not once did he check in with me to see if I enjoyed the food. I was still the only customer. I think, even if I really enjoyed the food, which I did not, I would not return to this restaurant based on the attitude of the owner alone. He does not know how to run a business, much less make Italian food.

I looked up highly rated Vietnamese restaurants and found Tasty House 1 in Carol Stream. This place is everything we anticipated it to be. The location is nice and has parking in front, inside is super spacious and had a relaxing and breathable ambiance. We ordered a family appetizer platter that came with all the delicious Vietnamese appetizers like: spring rolls, bbq marinated meat, fried eggrolls, grilled jumbo shrimp, meat wrapped in betel leaf, lettuce, noodles, cucumbers, cabbage, tomatoes, daikon, jalapeños, two dipping sauces: peanut butter hoisin and Vietnamese fish sauce. Another appetizer we got separately was the fried calamari which had a great crunchy texture, the absolute best! For our entrees I decided to build my own pho and chose tripe, rib eye steak and quail eggs. My husband got the spicy beef noodle soup (Bun Bo Hue). This is honestly the best Vietnamese we've ever had in our lives!!!! I'm so glad I found this place. Awesome service, food and atmosphere. Zero complaints everything was very fresh and perfect.

There is a separate vegan menu with half a dozen things on it, and other than the drinks and desserts, pretty much nothing on the regular menu is vegetarian. (The papaya salad, which is on the vegan menu, is a ringer: it contains fish sauce.) You've got your choice of various fruit lemonades, bubble teas, popping bubble teas, jellies, etc. Desserts include flan, Vietnamese yogurt, coconut jelly - none of which you'll be eating onsite as you'll be too full after your entree. Portions are on the large side - even the papaya salad is a meal. I got the peach lemonade, vegetable spring rolls and the tofu, vegetable and noodles, which turned out to be a soup, basically Vietnamese ramen. The spring rolls are tasty and come with peanut sauce; the vegetable broth was savory with lots of baby bok choy, plenty of noodles and cubes of fried tofu - it was even better with some of the homemade hot sauce, which I highly recommend. The lemonade comes in a bubble tea disposable cup and contains tiny pieces of fruit - very fruity, not very citrusy. Service was friendly and very personable, which helps if you're serving 16 people. All of whom were happy.
