Falafel Kebab station continues to impress across the board. While unassuming, it consistently delivers superb quality, quantity, and value. On each of my visits, no matter what I ordered had no shortage of well seasoned, tender, perfectly cooked meat. I love meat as much as the next carnivore, but there's more to a great experience than straight protein. Whenever it comes to veggies, sauce, rice, or fries, all hit just the right spot with no notes. Then there's the prices: given the price of everything, Falafel Kebab Station's rates are not only reasonable on their own, but doubly so considering the portions. An all around fantastic value. The service is excellent as well. The folks working behind the counter are friendly and efficient, with food coming out quickly. Final verdict: while not a destination in and of itself, Falafel Kebab Station delivers across the board as a superior place to get one's Kebab fix. read more

Falafel Kebab Station - Gyro Sandwich - Middle Eastern Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

4.1 Stars: TL;DR Never been there in person so can't speak to the ambiance but it's a great delivery spot at a superb value. The food also arrives incredibly fast. Our go to order: Chicken shawarma platter - succulent shawarma that is flavorful but thankfully isn't overly cumin forward, comes with several cups of fluffy rice, a small salad and hummus topped with some great olive oil read more

This is a go to spot for me, a real local gem. They have a fantastic chicken shawarma plate that I always pair with the mint juice. It might sound weird, but the mint juice is so refreshing. The staff is always friendly, and it's conveniently located. It's a pretty casual place, but it's a nice little hangout while you're eating. read more

This is the best schwarma I've had so far in Chicago. This plate also comes with pita. The falafel are also very good here. read more

Falafel Kebab Station - Chicken Shawarma Plate - Middle Eastern Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This is hands down the best beef shawarma in Chicago. The meat is unbelievably tender with the perfect char. I've eaten it so much that this place made me fall in love with Mediterranean food. What really separates them is the consistency. I've ordered from here at least twice a month for years, and there were stretches where I was eating it every single week, sometimes twice a week. I actually had to force myself to take a break because I was craving it too often. I've tried nearly every shawarma spot within a 8-mile radius, mainly because I wanted to see if they really stood out or if it was normal for beef shawarma to be this addictive, and while some places may have better falafel, better rice, or even better hummus, absolutely none of them come close when it comes to beef shawarma. And to be clear, their rice, hummus, and falafel are still really good. But the beef shawarma is on another level entirely. No other restaurant I have tried makes beef shawarma even remotely close to the way this place makes it. The difference in taste, texture and overall quality quite frankly is mind blowing. I honestly can't fully describe how good it tastes. The meat is so succulent and tender, yet charred just enough that it practically melts in your mouth while leaving behind that rich, crisp, smoky flavor. It's addictive in the best possible way. I've tried other items on the menu and they're all solid, but the reason I keep coming back is because I genuinely cannot find beef shawarma of this quality anywhere else, even within an 8-mile radius. And when I say quality, I mean both the meat itself and the flavor. To maintain this level of consistency for years is incredible. This is the kind of dish that deserves every food award imaginable, from James Beard to Michelin recognition. I'm a huge foodie, and I don't throw praise around lightly. This beef shawarma has been, and continues to be, one of the best dishes I've ever had in my life. Easily the best beef shawarma on this side of town. read more

Good healthy food. Great fresh quality and super affordable. Made to order so it takes a few but worth the wait.

Forgettable. This is for delivery. The food was bland Gyros: bland. Falafel: not bright green on the inside, an unforgivable offense. The first time we tried to order from here, we used the website, and the food simply never showed up. A phone call revealed that the order did not go thru - why have the website then? Yeah.....there are better places. I LOVE me some Middle Eastern food, and I'm fairly knowledgeable about it - this place isn't it. read more

This place is very close to me so I go for the easy access of filling my craving for gyros. However, I can't say it'd be my first choice and I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here specifically. I really enjoyed the portion size, hummus, and the gyro meat. The chicken shawarma was also good, but not amazing enough to make this my go to place for chicken. The falafel was little dry and the pita was very mid. I do recommend the veggie combo platter because there is a great variety to get a taste of the different appetizers! I enjoyed the dolmades (stuffed grape leaves). Overall, I would recommend this place specifically for gyro meat and/or dolmades! If that's your choice at a Greek station then this place will satisfy the craving for sure! read more

I just picked up my order and the lady who works there didn't bother tending to me when I got in and catered to the lady that came after me. She gave me empty cups to fill my drinks and I didn't see the covers for them so I asked her and she just had the most unpleasant, fake looking facial reaction and didn't bother to even communicate. I didn't feel welcomed at all nor did I like her vibe. I am a very calm person who doesn't like to burden anyone but she just had the snobbiest most unfriendly energy and I left with the urge to type this review as I'm parked right across the street from this place. Never again!!!! I haven't even opened $30 something worth of the food I ordered and I'm already in a bad mood because it was the most unfriendly, unwelcoming interaction that left a bad taste in my mouth! Gross, is this the type of welcome a paying customer like me receives? Super mean girl working today. The food I ordered wasn't free so I'd appreciate some respect and common courtesy. It would be fair to interact with whoever came first instead of ignoring me and being so accommodating to the young Caucasian woman that came after me. This is why common courtesy is so important and unfortunately a lot of business owners don't have it or great social skills. I'm so turned off. I hope you guys do better when it comes to the next person that walks through your door and supports your business because the treatment I received today was horrible. The older gentleman behind me witnessed it and sensed it too. He was a customer as well and even had respect to hold the door for me as I exited with my drinks and food. Take notes about kindness from your customers because the female employee today was stuck up and snobby. read more

Combination Meat Plate - beef/kifta/chicken kebabs, rice, salad, hummus, pita Solid lunch spot. Portions were big and everything was on the plate was tasty. Veggies were fresh, good texture in rice, pita was not dry, and the meat was seasoned well. Meat was a little dry though. I like the clean, spacious interior with plenty of tables. Employees were friendly. read more

The staff here are polite and they are always so hardworking. They make sure that your order comes out correctly and they make adjustments if you ask (nicely). This restaurant is a good place to sit down with friends after a long day of work. There are lots of chairs and there is a booth to make yourself comfortable. The food on the other hand is just amazing. I mean this statement when I say it- I think this restaurant has the best rotisserie chicken that I have ever tasted and no other restaurant I tried in recent memory has come close to perfecting their chicken. My favorite thing to order here is either their rotisserie, gyros, or French fries. If you have not come to this place I would give it a try. Falafel Kebab Station will be worth your while. read more

Gyro sandwich was very greasy and salty. Not enough vegetables and too much sauce. But it was a big portion.

This place is on point. My wife and I first time here and we are sorry we haven't come here sooner. Besides the food being outstanding, the service, the pride they taken what they do there makes you wanna come back. We split the Kofta and the grilled chicken kebab. Since we've been there, we've ordered it for more times and actually twice in one day because their baklava is outstanding! read more

Recently moved very close to it so had to check it out. When in need of something quick I walked over and picked up some falafel and pita. Was really happy, Good size, perfectly made, fresh, and good price. In general it's the menu you might expect and all good. Not top of the line but solidly good. Another time falafel sandwich and schwarma were satisfying. Service was quick and friendly. Had a long wait on the 3rd visit. The cook apparently had nothing made in advance except the pita. There were like 3 people there and it was still taking a long time. But that's ok. What disappointed me was the falafel and sauce were different. The falafel was spicier which was fine by me. The sauce was many times hotter than the previous visits. The falafel were so overcooked I had to break into them to eat them. So, current assessment is that it can be very good but inconsistent. Will still be going but lowered expectations and get falafel only if it's just been made (previously they seemed to keep a dozen made) and I see it. read more

Yum! Delicious food!! I have never been disappointed. When in a pinch....wondering what to have, just order some food from Falafel Kebab - you will not be disappointed. The portions are generous, the side sauces are a great addition, and the fries are crispy. read more

Good new place to get fast and cheap Middle Eastern food. It didn't look like it would be anything special, but it was. Falafel Kebab Station is conveniently located by the Granville station, making it convenient. Lots of classics including falafel of course, but it has more. The plates are big and filling, so if you're hungry get these. After getting off at the station, we came here. It's almost literally located next to it. This is a newer place. Basically it's Middle Eastern. They of course have falafel, but you can find a lot more classic items. Big portions of food. It's about $12 for a plate. We got the Falafel Plate. It was enough for a couple people or more. This also had hummus, pita bread, rice, and salad. Be sure to come hungry. It has plates for those wanting a big ass meal. There's falafel, hummus, tabbouli, and plenty more that's good for vegans and vegetarians. read more

The food is good but raising the price of falafel sandwich from $6.99 to $10.99 overnight was radical. I won't be coming back.

I was so pleasantly surprised by Falafel Kebab Station! I had a carryout order on a weekday afternoon and I will say inside it's very nice! It also looks like the back patio is open now as well, but didn't get a chance to check that out. I got a falafel plate and it came with eight pieces of falafel, a heaping portion of rice, huge pita pockets, some hummus, and a salad. With tax it cost 11$. I cannot believe just how much food I got for that price - absolutely unbelievable! The falafel was delicious, crispy on the outside and soft and flavorful on the inside. The hummus was amazing, rice was awesome. Literally everything was SO good. I hope they stick around because I'll be coming here way more often!!! read more

Excellent food! Very authentic cuisine. The staff were very nice and the food came fast! Portions were GREAT for the size. Definitely worth it. Would highly recommend! read more

Tucked into the Edgewater neighborhood between the Granville Red Line Station and Broadway, we have an absolute powerhouse in the Falafel Kebab Station, whipping up some incredible pig-out Mediterranean dishes everybody comes to know and adore. There's nothing but options here, folks! They got rotisserie chickens, pita sandwiches, plates, salads, wraps; all served with some tasty sides (their fries are actually legit, ok?) The rotisserie chicken was fire plain and simple. You have an option to get half a chicken or whole with a side of rice or fries. I was gonna go big and also ordered an extra side of gyro meat to give it a taste, and they really knocked it out of the park with that meat as well. Really, everything is cooked to excellent quality at the Falafel Kebob Station. You can order your food online and it'll be ready in about 20 mins, easy pickup time and setup. They do have a nice space to dine in if you are looking to have a meal at the place instead. Northsiders, do not sleep on this place! Great gem of a restaurant with easy transit access for all! read more

The falafel and the kebab meals are great. Because of the name of the place, I have never ordered anything else, and for all I know these are the only two orders that are great.

We've been ordering carry outs since they opened in Edgewater, and have yet to be disappointed. Unfortunately, our last carry out we were disappointed with. Our main choice is the gyro with extra sauce on the side. On Sunday, we placed the order, my usual. For some reason, the sandwich had very little meat, it was just little chunks or pieces of meat, which has never occurred before. The sauce they gave on the side wasn't tzatziki sauce. While it was good, packed with lots of garlic, it wasn't the same thing as tzatziki sauce. It appears I received their garlic sauce. Hopefully this was just in error or fluke as it's one of our FAVORITE go too places. UPDATE... I ordered my usual last night (April 29), and it was fantastic!! The sandwich was packed full of nice tender slices of gyro meat, and I received the correct sauce. read more

Solid place, friendly staff. The schwarma was really good - tender meat, fresh veggies, and that garlic sauce was on point. Falafel was nice too, crispy outside, soft inside. Cool atmosphere, not too fancy but clean and comfortable. Service was quick and chill. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area and want a tasty, quick meal. Will be back for sure. read more

The food isn't horrible (the Grape Leaves were, very bland; Chickpeas crispy outside & soft inside). Chicken Kabobs always good. Gyro was the SMALLEST Ive ever had here & wont be back for that reason! The "CASHIER" TODAY!! Mind you this is NOT a restaurant, it's more of a Fast Food-To Go or stay kind of place; You order, pay, serve your own drink, sit down & they bring your food. The bill was $60 & I tipped on that $7! As we were sitting down "I HEARD THE CASHIER" mockingly say " They only tipped $7 on $60". What exactly do you do to deserve more than that & even after she talked *HIT we still gave the extra $5! The tip is for the Cashier & the fact she's bringing us the food & THAT'S it, not cheacking on us, she ISN'T a waitress! There was a Staff of about 6-7people, IM SUPPOSED TO TIP THEM ALL, WTF!? No, Ill never come here again... I always tip a few extra in cash, but as we sat down looking for $5 bill to be soo rude & loud as to talk *HIT about $7, WOW the FKn NERVE! We asked for change and still gave a very UNDESERVED extra $5, because we already were. NEVER AGAIN. read more

Family went for lunch and enjoyed everything that was ordered. Nice and clean seating area. Employees were kind. I would recommend they put their hours of operation on their Yelp profile. This restaurant is doing what so many places do. They provide single use plastic ware with their meals. I'm hoping all restaurants will eliminate single use waste as much as possible. I'll gladly pay $1 extra if we can keep some waste from going into a landfill. read more
