I just love this place. We can't find Mediterranean thats good or that's near us. We drove 60 miles to get our fix. It's fresh and made to order! We got the crave platter & it's packed with meat, vegetables, rice. The salad's that go with it are huge. We will drive back up to the city again. Well worth the drive. read more

Had the vegetarian and falafel sandwiches. The sandwiches had no taste, and lacked any species or anything. Basically it was mixed vegetables cooked and put into a pita bread. I would not recommend it to anyone that likes to have some taste in their foods. However, if you are trying to eat healthy this might be good option with no taste. All in all, I would not be going over there again. read more

The hummus was ok, but the lamb kabob platter was not very good. The meat was way too tough and didn't taste that great. Service was good though! Really nice people working there. read more

Been coming here since it opened . The food is great! But the last few times we have ordered from here we see that the portions of hummus have gotten smaller and not enough. Overall- it's delicious read more

Love their catering platter with the mixed grill items - a great party option, and comes with a good selection of sides. Their delivery has always been on time as well. read more

Very clean restaurant, authentic food taste, we had the hummus with chicken shawarma, Falafels, fried goat cheese, all items were perfect and tasty portions are generous, nice environment, as a visitor I do recommend this place for all people who is looking for the right Mediterranean taste read more

Amazing!! So happy I found this place close to UIC. Loved the crave bowl and everything was so fresh! The lemon mint smoothie was so good and super fresh! Ever since I came back from Jordan I haven't found a place that makes lemon mint this good! Employees were also super nice and attentive :) read more

This place I highly recommend. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The food tasted fresh. If you are looking for good Mediterranean food in the city look no further. Must try them today read more

This place is great! They have kind hearts on top of great food. I stopped in for a late lunch and ordered something for the homeless guy outside as I don't like to give them money. They actually came over and gave me the money I spent on his order back! I was truly not expecting this but how great! Please give this place a try. I love the crave bowl with falafel and the lemon mint smoothie but I am sure it is all good. read more

Nice casual place by United Center to stop in a catch a more reasonable price, tasty, healthy meal before a game.

Run do not walk to the crave. Fresh delicious food with a wonderful staff. You will for sure crave the crave!!!

Discovered this place after Pitchfork one night. It is so delicious, and the guys who work here are so friendly and sweet. Last time I went in, they gave me a free falafel sample, then a piece of baklava to try with a special cinnamon walnut tea that one of the guys said is his mom's recipe. He was so proud! And it was delicious. I'm a huge Naf Naf fan, and this is on par or better. My friend and I both had the chicken shawarma bowls, super tasty. The only thing that sucks is this is nowhere near my house, otherwise I'd be in here all the time. read more

Excellent food, very reasonable prices. It gets crowded at lunch and there isn't enough space for groups - parking is extremely limited in the lot as well - but that isn't a reflection on the restaurant at all. read more

Great food and service, definitely get your money's worth! The mixed grill was enough for two people.

Great food!!!! I can taste that they make their food with a lot of heart and I love Persian food now. I my one year even liked the food

Crave has catered two of our house parties - one for 15 and one for 45 people, and I continue to recommend it to my friends. Sam is excellent and incredibly professional. The menu was well proportioned and catered to our needs. The food is excellent, arrived freshly made and prepped for a wonderful presentation. Everyone was impressed and we got a lot of "where was the food from?" comments from our guests. It has instantly become our go-to place for catering both our home and business events. Highly recommended for any size group. read more

One of the best chicken over rice I've had in a long time. Packed with flavor and decent portion sizes.

The food was delicious! Definitely coming back here!! Great atmosphere and the workers are friendly!! Way to end our Chicago experience!! See you again - California Girls read more

This place was sooooo great! I placed a to-go order over the phone for myself and 3 VERY important clients. The person taking the order was very friendly and efficient. Our food was ready when we got there and everything tasted amazing! We had the bowls and a gyro as well as the fried cheese. YUM! They did forget our fries so make sure you check your order. But everything else was phenomenal so I'm not counting off for that little thing :)). read more

I only have two words: YUM AND YUM!!! (ok maybe that's 3). Point is ~ this place is AMAZING!! Chicago definitely has a huge lack of authentic, Mediterranean food but this place byfar is the BEST I have tried since moving here. My boyfriend and I ordered delivery a few days ago and we're already excited to go back and dine in. Kebabs were perfect, rice beautifully seasoned, flavors were incredible ~ just everything is above and beyond. I highly, HIGHLY recommend this place! Everything was also priced within reason! Make this your next go-to for all things delicious :)!! Keep #craving! read more

Just went to Crave Kabob for lunch and it was the best Mediterranean I've had in a long time! Everything was delicious, perfect portion sizes, great flavors, and the perfect meat to salad/topping ratio on their sandwiches. Added bonus: Parking Lot! Will definitely be back to try more. read more

We had a wonderful experience with Crave Kabob! We got catering from there twice for various events for our non-profit organization, and also ate in at the restaurant. The facility itself is very clean and well kept, perfect for small, intimate gatherings. The food was delicious as well, and the customer service was remarkable. There was an issue with one of the catering orders, but the workers/manager made sure to correct it and take care of it immediately. Great experience overall and we will definitely be back! (Shout out to Sam and Kayla, you guys are awesome!) read more

We've been to the Middle East and the Mediterranean. These are the best Falafels we've ever had. Must try.

Delicious food, affordable price, clean and comfortable space, kind employees. And if you don't understand the menu or its composition, but you speak Spanish, they have someone to help you. Fantastic!!! read more

This is probably our new favorite Mediterranean place. Had their mixed grill platter, shawarma platter with the fattoush salad, chickpea salad and hummus. Everything including the rice in the platter was spiced perfectly. The steak was not over cooked and the Kafta kabob has the right blend of fresh herbs. They are going to have good competition with other restaurants since their menu covers everything that is offered across other places including an impressive catering menu. They are here to stay! read more

When I look for places to eat I look at the photos then go to read the reviews and out of all the places I've gone to just because of the photos this is the first place that actually turned out to be amazing! Very friendly staff and hard working. My friends and I ordered chicken kabobs and steak kabob and they both were outstanding. Full of taste, not undercooked or over cooked everything was just right on point. I'm a big fan of kabob dishes and Crave Kabob today is at the top of my list for kabob places. Good job and keep up the hard work! Also, make sure you come with an empty stomach cause the dishes are huge!!! read more

I came from Tennessee to visit my father and family! During my visit, we went to Crave Kabob and it was one of the most memorable restaurant experience I have had in a long time! The food is fresh and cooked to perfection! The atmosphere was clean and elegantly modern! Thank you for a great place for family and friends to gather and make memories! read more

Great food and great service. This is a welcomed addition to this part of the West Loop!

The food is wonderful. I had the chicken kabob entree which came with a salad, humus, pita, and rice. Every item was flavored to perfection. The perfect blend of spices. Staff were courteous and helpful. read more

First timer and definitely repeat customer! I got a few appetizers - dipitizer, falafels, and tabouleeh salad and they were DELICIOUS! The staff was extremely polite and food was on point so its a must try! read more

The food was fantastic and the service was great. They have an upstairs seating which is great if you want a more private area. I had the falafel and a chicken kabob plate both were great. The portions are large definitely enough for 2 meals. read more

Great place, amazing food, really friendly staff. Everything I've had there so far is really good. Especially the falafel. It's probably the best I've ever had. read more

Today I order Mix grill and Gyro togo for dinner. They are super yummy the steak and chicken melt in my mouth and the rice perfect cooked. Will be back again. read more

Was invited to sample some food before their grand opening and of course I obliged being that I love food ! I must say the food was delicious and their customer service was top notch. Definitely coming back and I will let people know how good the food is. read more

I was excited to try this place after reading and seeing all of the high reviews. The staff was friendly and helpful, but to be honest, the food was a huge let down. Everything was on the bland side (chicken kebab platters), the salad sad and flavorless, chicken was dry, sauces mediocre, and everything was just...OK. Honestly, it was a big disappointment, nothing worthy of a second visit, and I won't be back. It could be such a welcome and amazing spot in the neighborhood if executed well (I LOVE Middle Eastern food, and crave it regularly - but this was not up to par) and their execution of it is just...unexceptional to say the least. read more

Amazing, It's a modern day twist of back home!!! I highly recommend Crave to all in search of a authentic Mediterranean spot.

Randomly came to crave kabob and extremely happy I did. Best steak chicken and kofta I've had in a while. I am literally writing this after I ate and was just given baklava to sample...by far the best I have ever had. I am from dc and if they expanded to the DMV they would kill all other competition. read more

First time here, and the guy gave us free bowls of soup! Very courteous. Another plus is that everything is halal! The prices per portion are also amazing. anybody interested in Mediterranean food should check this place out. The wait is a little on the long side, it is less of a quick bite because they take time to prepare the larger dishes like entrees. Totally worth the wait though. read more

Excellent neighborhood place with authentic food. The Chicken Kabob entree and the Chicken Shawarma pita pocket were outstanding. Will definitely be returning soon! read more

This place is spot on. Very busy. The food is delicious and reasonably priced. The chicken kabobs were juicy tender and tasty.
