    Side of grilled veggies
    Katy C.

    I ordered Crave Kabob on Uber Eats while I was working in the area. I got a steak shawarma bowl with extra grilled veggies. The delivery was quick and packaged well. I thought the portion was filling and I loved the amount of sauce and hummus on the bowl as I'm a big sauce fan. The main salad layer was just some basic shredded lettuce, but I liked the cucumber salad and the herbs. The side of veggies was a bit weird, the onions weren't really grilled so they were basically raw. I liked that they came on a bed of pillowy bread, which I used to dip in the hummus. Overall this was a good, healthier option for delivery food, and I'd probably order from this spot again.

    I want to start off by saying this is the best service I've had in along time. I was very new I love the food I will be back also my server Waleed he was very patient, a very good server.

    What an amazing place for super fresh Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food! I started with the fried Mediterranean cheese which was sweaky cheesy great! For my main I went with the lamb kabob sandwich on a pita. Lots of great lamb flavor and no shortage of extra veggies. The service was outstanding. The cashier gave me a sample falafel while I was waiting for my order and was super friendly. Will definitely be back!!

    Chicken Shawarma Bowl
    Kenna G.

    Delicious chicken shawarma bowl, the hummus & sauces were fantastic. Great meal to get for takeout, but the restaurant has a big dining area as well. Service was great, always appreciate staff asking how your food was!

    Fried cauliflower, lentil soup, spicy biryani, falafel sandwich

    All the flavors worked so well together! The fried cauliflower has a light and crispy texture. Instead of having a thick breading like most fried cauliflower, this dish seemed to have a spice rub coated on before the cauliflower was fried. It resulted in an incredibly tender, flavorful, and perfectly fried dish. The lentil soup had earthy undertones of turmeric. It was the right thickness to pair well with the biryani rice. Pouring a bit of the soup over the rice adds contrast in texture while also elevating the earthy flavors of the soup with the light notes of spice from the rice. The falafel sandwich was divine. There's no question why the restaurant claims their falafel is number 1. For any other restaurant that serves falafel, the falafel is just there to provide a crunch without any flavor. But these are different, they're on the softer side and melt in your mouth with such a great taste. Then kicks in the hummus, and the soft and fluffy pita bread with every bite. Woo wee I can't wait to come back.

    Chicken Shawafel in a wrap
    Kennedy H.

    Such a great lunch spot! I got their Chicken Shawaful in a wrap which was the perfect combo of falafel and Chicken all in one. Such an affordable and filling option. 10/10 recommend!

    I always see ads for this restaurant on my TikTok FYP so I figured it was time to try it. I honestly thought it was mostly a takeout restaurant with limited seating, but I was so wrong. There is an entire dining hall, set up with TV's, a drink station and over all, it's kept really clean. Service was excellent. The staff were very friendly and efficient. I had placed an order to go, and when I arrived, everything was packed and ready to go. In order to properly rate a middle eastern restaurant, I had to get the two most popular items - the chicken shawarma and the beef shawarma. I decided to try the chicken shawarma "Arab style". This comes chopped up into bite size pieces, with fries, pickles, and a side salad. It also came with garlic sauce for dipping. The chicken was moist and flavorful, but I wish the garlic sauce was a bit more potent. I think they mix it with mayonnaise, but I could be wrong. The fries were crispy and salty. I got the beef shawarma sandwich and that was by far my favorite. The meat was juicy, seasoned really well and cooked to perfection. I also decided to try their version of the Dubai chocolate, which was a bit overpriced in my opinion (about 13$ after tax) but that's the market price for a viral product I guess. Unfortunately, it was a miss for me. I couldn't taste any pistachio and I didn't get the crunch from the kenefe that I keep seeing all over social media. It was still a solid chocolate bar, but it was lacking the pistachio flavor. They offer both milk and white chocolate flavors. Overall, this is a solid middle eastern place. Definitely worth the try if you're in the area!

    Mixed Grill and Kids Gyros & Fries
    Nava L.

    I came here with my mom and we had a pretty good experience! You first order at the front then they call your name out to go get your food when it's ready. You also have to get your own silverware and napkins. The place itself was nice and clean. The cashier was really nice and helpful when deciding what to try. We ended up getting a mixed grill and a gyros sandwich which fries. The mixed grill was HUGE cause it comes with two types of rice and 2 salads. The meat itself was okay - some of it was a little dry but they have so many sauces so it makes up for it! We also tried the falafel which was amazing - highly recommend trying it! My mom said both the gyros and fries were great!! The prices are a little on the expensive side - mixed grill was about $30 so I think the pictures of the menu on Yelp are quite old. You do get pretty good sized portions so still worth it.

    I visit Chicago once a year. I'm always looking for a LAMB ONLY GYRO. Do you have gyros that are made with lamb only? If not...do you know of a restaurant that does? Thank you!

    Hello. Our gyro consists of a combination of beef and lamb. Unfortunately, we do not know of any vendors that have a 100% gyro cone. Sorry we could not be of more help.

    Are you guys halal?

    Nilu F., our offerings are halal with the exception of the Gyro. Thank you for reaching out.

It's your typical kind of ambiance for a place like this--clean but not at all sterile. A welcome quiet spot in the chaos of Wicker. Aside from the delicious, comforting food, the service is incredible. It is rare to find spots like these nowadays and I sincerely hope the CAVA heads (don't get me wrong, I love CAVA!) try this out, too. We were accidentally charged for two orders of dolma when we ordered one, but I didn't realize. The person who took the order--wearing a propellor hat, by the way (hello whimsy!)--walked over to our table to let us know and asked if we'd like a refund and apologized. This already took me by surprise, so while I was fine without it, I said "sure." Next thing I know, they walk over with still two orders of dolma and the refund. I looked for a tip jar to put it back but couldn't find one. It was such an act of kindness and generosity. The kind of small interaction that reminds you of what being human is all about. Any time I'm in Wicker, I will try and stop at this place. Reminds me so much of Bulgaria and the "" I'd always beg for as a kid. 10/10 -- please support this independent restaurant!

I am familiar with the area but didn't know that this restaurant was located in this small strip mall. I pass this strip mall all the time when going to the Alamo Drafthouse for movies, but never thought about pulling into here due to the small parking lot and that it is always crowded. Walking into the restaurant, there is a kiosk where you can order your food. As it was late and I just wanted to eat and not make a lunch for tomorrow, I ordered a Spinach Pie and a Combination Meat Plate (Beef kabob, Kifta kabob, Chicken Kabob and Chicken shawarma. Served with Rice, Salad, Hummus and pita bread) so I could have leftovers to take to work the next day. I placed my order, paid for it and had to wait for about 15 minutes to get my food. While waiting, I was able to look around the restaurant to see it was clean and brightly lit. The table and floors were clean and there were a few customers dining inside. The staff was nice and friendly as well. I got my food home and was pleasantly surprised at the amount of food in the combo dish. There was a good amount of meat and rice, enough for two people easily. The combo dish is $25 but well worth it. The meat was cooked nicely and had good flavor. As good as that combo dish was, that Spinach pie was on point! The flavor was great and the dough was nice and fluffy/tasty. The food was so good that I decided to put in an order on Grubhub the next night to get it for dinner for later in the week. I wanted to place an order on Grubhub to get free delivery as a Prime member, but the online menu did not have the Spinach pies listed, so I ended up having to call into the restaurant to place my order. When you call into the restaurant, they take your number and will send you a link to pay for your order and to send them your address and delivery instructions. I ordered the same items again, but got extra Spinach pies and a Greek Salad with chicken as well. The delivery guy was nice and brought my food up to me as instructed. The salad was fresh and there was plenty of Chicken Shawarma on top of it. I ended up having that for dinner as well as one of the Spinach pies and it was delish. The Chicken Shawarma was very nice and again, this was a decent size salad and was filling along with the pie. I definitely want to go back to try some of the other dishes that they have, like the wraps and the gyro plate and/or wrap. There is a lentil soup I would also like to try as well. I would definitely recommend Falafel & Grill for eats.
