This place was a very happy find! In the area, with a large group, looking for a pizza spot and some of us didn't want pizza and this literally was across the street. We bopped in and little to our surprise, it was the best decision we made all day. I got the shawarma bowl with gryo and the garlic sauce fries and wow, everything was to die for. I wish I wasn't just visiting Chicago so this place was more accessible to me everyday. But I fear i'd go broke if this was in my city. This is a great quick lunch option especially if visiting the zoo/park/beach area. Everything felt light, fresh, and healthy. It felt a little pricey for me but it's Chicago so it may be normal so take that as you will but for how delicious and the amazing ingredients it's worth it. Especially that dang pink sauce on the fries....you've got to get the garlic sauce fries if you check this place out. Some of the most beautiful and tasty fries i've ever had! The atmosphere is cute and bright too. A happy place to eat lunch and hang out in! I'm not from Chicago so i'm already missing this place! Add to your "must try" list for sure! read more

Thoroughly enjoyed my breakfast at Evette's! Incredible breakfast sandwich, unique hasbrown waffle shaped exterior, loaded with thick, perfectly cooked bacon. Loved the chimichuri and spicy mayo combo on this. The halloumi tacos were also a hit, flavors paired very well and ingredients tasted fresh. Staff were all extremely kind! Smaller storefront with a couple of tables inside and out. read more

I loved this place! I got a chicken bowl. The chicken was super flavorful and juicy. I like the variety of quinoa, rice, greens that it comes with. The pink beet sauce was so yummy and I like the color. I also got the feta fries. The bowl comes with fries, so you might not need to get this side. Service was fast and friendly! Would highly recommend for some flavorful food! read more

Came here for brunch after the zoo. The Lebanese Breakfast offers classic American breakfast items fused with Lebanese flavors, such as the spiced scrambled eggs, fresh cucumbers and cheese, or pita bread with yogurt dill dipping sauce. It is like the best of both worlds. I especially loved the grilled mozarella cheese that paired nicely with everything. The food comes out fast, service is friendly but the place is popular, so expect limited seating or take out. read more

Food was excellent, nice seating area, and service was great. Quick and easy food when time is limited

Can't believe it took me so long to come here! Great spot for lunch. It's connected to All Too Well. They don't have a bathroom in Evette's but they point you to use the one in All Too Well. Counter service ordering and the food was prepared quickly. On Sunday you could order breakfast or lunch! I got the shawarma bow which was beautiful and delicious but the garlic feta fries stole the show!! Stunning and so good to share. The breakfast looked so good too! Light fresh bold flavors but still very authentic. read more

Evettes located in Lincoln Park is a wonderful Mediterranean restaurant. Offering great and healthy brunch and lunch options you can order anything from a bowl, shawarma, salad, and tacos. It blends the flavors of Mediterranean and Mexican while providing healthy options. It is a fairly small place but found the food and service great. This is a great spot to pop in to have lunch. read more

This is a nice spot to pop in For for a quick lunch very healthy options. Everything felt very fresh. It's a small room so very limited seating. We went on a weekend so everything was pretty quick read more

We ordered this from Uber Eats. It came fresh and quick, the food was still warm. We tried: - Chicken Shawarma Bowl - Chicken Shawarma Wrap - Garlic Feta Fries I preferred the wrap over the bowl, as it comes with pickles so there is more balance/flavor than the bowl. The fries were good too. Everything looked pretty flavorful, so we plan to try other options. read more

I love coming to Evette's whenever I'm starving. I always get the chicken shawarma bowl because you basically get to try the whole menu! The bowl has a little of everything such as the fries, salad, and couscous. This time I also got the gryos fries because something about their pink sauce makes me inhale the food every time I come here. The fries are definitely on the heavier side, so be careful ordering too much if it's your first time coming here! The service is always quick and easy since the menu isn't freaking huge. Menu is super simple and straight the point. I love coming here in the summer to enjoy the ambiance because they open the huge window up front so that you're able to enjoy a breeze while eating and people watching at the same time. Honestly, this place is very solid and I cannot wait to be back! read more

Been here twice and have enjoyed it both times. My favorite is the fries with chicken. Staff is super friendly. Cute (but small) space.

Good: incredibly delicious and fresh! Amazing portion Ambience: very small cafe with a few sittings, no waiter service. You order and eat. Good is so good that ambience doesn't matter haha read more

Evette’s - Chicken Shawarma Bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Really loved the Haloumi tacos! Something I've never thought to combine before! The shawarma fries were good - the cut of fries were unique and I have never seen that kind of style before. Kinda looks like a potato was cut in half the long way and then sliced in a medium thickness with a mandolin from the way the pieces curl slightly. Something to keep in mind is that there is no bathroom in the restaurant you can use (keep in mind it's a small space overall) BUT the person working was so kind to let me use the sink behind the counter to wash my hands!! Seriously appreciate that as I ordered foods that required my hands to hold. I'm still thinking about those tacos. Such a good treat and everything tasted so fresh! read more

Stopped by Evette's after visiting the Green City Farmer's Market with a friend, and it was the perfect spot for a hearty lunch to fuel us for the rest of the day. We ordered the garlic feta fries, a hashbrown sandwich, and the flaky malawach wrap with gyro. Everything was delicious, but my favorite was definitely the malawach wrap. It was a little messy to eat, but the layers of flaky dough combined with the seasoned gyro meat made it totally worth it. The garlic feta fries were crispy and flavorful, and the hashbrown sandwich was a satisfying comfort food classic. The service was friendly and quick, and the ambiance had such a fun, vibrant energy. The lively music and colorful, California-inspired interior made the whole experience feel upbeat and relaxed. Next time, I'd love to try the gyro fries and one of the other wraps or brunch bowls--they all looked so good. A solid spot for delicious, filling meals with great flavors and a great vibe. Looking forward to my next post-farmer's market trip. read more

Hash brown breakfast was incredible, one of the best breakfast sandwiches that can be found. Other sandwich was quality as well. Friendly staff and welcoming interior read more

Holy crap this was a bomb breakfast sandwich. I came with some friends, we all got something different, and we all couldn't believe how good our food was. We left the farmer's market with decision paralysis and headed to Evette's instead. Highly highly recommend!!!! read more

I didn't enjoy my steak wrap and my partner did not enjoy his Gyro. They also added Tomatoes to my sandwich when I asked them not to as I'm allergic. Will not return read more

The breakfast bowl was highly recommended, and it did not disappoint. I decided to add bacon, and it was the best decision. I took this delicious bowl to the beach, and it was the perfect idea for a relaxing afternoon. The bowl had a delightful sweetness from the onions and a generous amount of potatoes and avocado, which is always a plus in my book. I will definitely be returning for more! A heads-up if you're planning to eat inside: the space is pretty small and fills up quickly, but overall, it's a fantastic spot. Highly recommended! read more

The food here is very good but they don't have bathrooms, which is probably illegal in Chicago, and the free water they offer tastes like it came from the toilet , so buy a can of water for 3.50 read more

3.5 Solid but not transcendent Lebanese and Mexican mashup. Get your falafel taco on, I guess. Not sure I remember anything beyond that. Really. read more

This is for delivery. I ordered a wrap, which they were apparently out of. So instead of just refunding it they sent me a different one. Tried calling them directly but their number is fake/disconnected. Assholes. read more

Ordered the halloumi egg sandwich which was much larger than I expected. I enjoyed the avocado in it which made it seem more fresh and less heavy. The sandwich had good flavor, but I wish they included more of the fig jam. I would definitely want to come back to try their wraps. read more

To be honest, was really excited and got a bit let down. Ambiance was very good and food was served relatively quickly. People there were really nice, and there was a free water cooler. However, the food was just average in my opinion-- I think it's overrated. read more

Evette’s - Halloumi Tacos (brunch) - Mediterranean Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I've been to Evette's a few times now, and there food is really good! I think particularly anything that comes with the fries, the pink sauce, and cheese. The pitas are just ok - I would personally go for the bowl. And I honestly think that the halloumi is better than the meat because is that good. During my last visit, I got the steak pita which was good but I'd get the bowl in the future. So much flavor. Things to note is that there is no public bathroom, but they do have several tables inside. During my most recent visit on a nice Saturday at lunch time, the tables were mostly full, but we were able to find a spot. read more

I've seen Evette's on tik tok and was excited when one of my friends recommended we try it out. We can around 11am on a Sunday and it was the perfect time. We placed our order and we're able to snag a table. The place is relatively small and it gets busy! I had the Halloumi tacos and shared the garlic and feta fries with my friend. My friend ordered the breakfast sandwich. Everything was delicious and this can easily be my new favorite fries! Service was great too. My only complaint is that it's a small spot and there are limited beverage options. read more

100% GO HERE!!! This was the best food i've had in a long time. I would take the garlic aioli by the gallon. We got the Halloumi Wrap, Chicken Shawarma Wrap, and Super Garlic and Feta Fries. Very filling that we even took half our sandwiches to go. AMAZING staff!!! Very helpful, energetic, and they seem to work well together. They are very clean and covid safe. Great music selection as well. If you get the chance, sit up at the window on a sunny day when they have it open. read more

TL;DR: Great garlic feta fries and chicken shawarma, Odd couscous spice Walked in on a Friday at 7:00pm and there were a lot of tables/seat available. To me, this seems more like a lunch vibe since it closes at 8:00pm. The garlic feta fries are delicious and can easily be shared. The Evettes Plate with chicken shawarma is yummy and the salad that comes with it is refreshing since they add in pomegranates in it. However, the couscous is not my favorite cup of tea because the spices remind me of Fall time. read more

A great spot for quick bites! Both the Chicken Shwarma Wrap and Chicken Taco were super juicy. The wrap was also HUGE! Literally double the size I was expecting. They also put potato wedges in it; amazing. The Halloumi Taco was also nice, never had anything like it before. Great bang for your buck! read more

Wow!!! What an awesome place! I had never heard of Evettes but had a gift card so I picked up some lunch yesterday. It was incredible! I've been blabbing to my friends how in the spring, I can't wait to walk down here and grab lunch again! First thing is first, the staff=amazing! I called to place my order and asked about a billion questions about what was in some of the sauces and salads. I asked what their favorites were and they were so patient and helpful. When I showed up, I was warmly greeted and handed my food. The inside was super cute and they had many covid precautions in place. I ran some errands and an hour later got to eating my lunch and it was outstanding. I'm sure it would have been even better hot but I was thrilled. I got the halloumi and gyro tacos and the whipped feta app. Outstanding!! The tacos were incredible and this red sauce they give you, not sure what it is but I saved it to put on other food! Cant wait to come back! Great job guys!! read more

This gem of a place has been here 3 years? As a self proclaimed "foodie" I'm embarrassed that I hadn't hear of nor read any articles regarding this place. My initial reaction while placing my order was "damn this place is expensive". I mean $50 for two orders of fries & 3 tacos seemed excessive however after tasting everything I was quite satisfied. Nothing I had was bad & these are some big & bold flavors that are far from contemporary. Prior to my visit o had no idea what "Halloumi" was but it's damn good. The gyro taco had a spicy but bare-able kick to it. Now on to these fries... At $12 a piece they're not cheap for a mere side but these are far from ordinary & although slightly premature I'm willing to rank them amongst the best fries in all of Chicago. Seriously both the garlic & the sweet potato were that good. I regret not a shake to solidify that everything this place has to offer is amazing but this place should be on everyone list. Get here asap! read more

Evette's has quickly become my go-to spot for a quick, "healthier" bite. They provide great portions with plenty of meat - plus you can tell the ingredients are fresh. The diversity of ingredients in the shawarma bowl stands out the most and those feta fries are insane. Will be back soon and often! read more

Stopped by after reading the 2022 NYT list of new restaurants to check out-- but ultimately didn't think this was worth the hype! To start, Evette's had a quaint and hipster vibe to it. The menu is Mediterranean-inspired fast food but with very limited options to choose from. My friend and I both ordered the halloumi plate, which came with a small side salad and couscous. The couscous was incredibly dry and the halloumi was on top of a plate of French fries. The sauce was tasty, but not enough to make this dish stand out by any means. Overall, decent Mediterranean food but not worthwhile to go out of your way for. Not sure what I'm missing here! read more
