    Chicken Shawarma wrap

    Food dint taste good. I ordered a spicy chicken shawarma wrap. It was soggy. The owner was abit funny when I told him I want my space level to be mild but I still ordered food from there. Will not be going there again.

    Lunchtime
    Kathleen L.

    This restaurant has great food but it is basically for takeout. There is only one small table that seats 2 people and a 8' counter by the windows with four stools. There are some chairs for people to sit and wait for their order. I have come two times during the lunch hour and they turned me away because they had a large catering order. So if you want to give this restaurant a try I would recommend calling ahead of time and for takeout. We will definitely be dining here again in the future. I would love to see them move to a bigger location.

    Weird black tarp

    I had heard from a friend who said that there is this Middle Eastern eatery in Hoffman Estates that is making some noise in social media about their hamburgers being so good. The restaurant is located in a small strip mall. The other restaurants are all Middle Eastern eateries in the strip mall. I walked into Falafel Hut, and it first was taken back. I thought I was in the wrong location. This place inside aesthetically looks horrendous. There is a large black tarp that separates the kitchen from the front area where you order. There's a small bell near the cash register that says ring for service. I thought the place was possibly under construction. I also thought I possibly entered from the wrong side and felt like I was in the back room. It's strange look at it hands-down. I ring the bell and this extremely friendly young lady asked how can she help me. I said I would like to try one of the hamburgers. The main menu that is on the wall has no mention of hamburgers. She then pulls out a small plastic sign that shows what you can order on a hamburger. From what my friend told me the way to go is get order a double cheeseburger with spicy gyro meat. You can then add chipotle sauce and take it from there. I ordered the way my friend suggested. The young lady asked me if I would like to make it a combo, which came with a drink and an extremely small fry. I said sure the total came to around $20. The young lady then said hold on let me see how long this is going to take. She disappeared behind the black curtain. I can hear her speaking with somebody and a voice came from the black curtain that said about 15 to 20 minutes. I sat and watched as a couple more people came in asking again for the hamburger. This was obviously turning into a popular item that they were not prepared for whatsoever. They told the people again that it would be 15 to 20 minutes. I could not see inside the kitchen, but from the voices I heard through the black curtain it seemed that there was maybe three workers total, the girl at the front who took the order, another woman who seemed to be the owner and a grill cook. I then hear my name Frank. A woman pops out from the curtain who I assume is the owner she told me she ran out of ground meat and that she needed to grind some more up. This will take another 15 to 20 minutes for her to grind the meat up. I told her it was fine, no problem. I sat and listened as phone calls started to come in, placing phone orders to get food and hamburgers. This sounded like they 100% could not handle how busy it was getting with their small staff. My 20 minute wait on top of my 20 minute wait turn into another 15 minute wait by the end of it. I finally heard my name called. It was almost an hour if not more, my hamburger was finally ready. I told the girl at the front counter before I ordered that I was going to review this location. I told her that when I do a review of a location, it gets exponentially busy people from everywhere. Come to try out what I suggest and it quadruples the business for a location, I asked her is that going to be a problem will you be able to handle it? The girl smiled and said we should be fine. I opened up my hamburger in my car to take a look at it. It was gorgeous. I took a bite, and it was absolutely delicious. The flavors were out of this world. The Gyro meat mixed with their ground meat was a perfect savory mix. The Gyro meat was tender. The creamy chipotle sauce did not overpower. It was a perfect companion to the salty meat. I will tell you this was an out of this world hamburger, but I also will tell you I don't think this was my order that I put in. The hamburger was not spicy whatsoever. I remember asking for the spicy Gyro meat. I also understood that it came with jalapeños and onions. I don't think I got that, I also ordered a double cheeseburger and I only received a single the phrase that came with it or child size I can't even call them small. I will tell you, because this is honestly one of the most unique and tasty hamburgers you'll ever try. Now there will be definitely some obstacles and give yourself some. time if you were curious to try this place out. They are very very slow. They are slow because they're lazy. They're slow because they are overwhelmed with this new found business. I also need to definitely say they need to do something with the aesthetic look of this place. It looks like a haunted house absolutely horrible if I was not suggested to try this place out one look at it from as soon as you enter the restaurant I would've walked right back out. I really do hope you all check this place out. I know a lot of my readers are pretty traditional and don't like to step out of their comfort zones but I have never steered any of you wrong. My reviews are always honest. I know what is good and what is bad in regards to what tastes good in the food. So I asked that you trust me and really check this place out you will like it.

    Lunch special
    Nicole L.

    Yesterday my husband and I tried the lunch special with chicken shawarma, gyro meat, rice, and a pita. At first we were a little turned off with some of the spice in the rice (I believe it might be cinnamon), but the more we ate, the more we liked everything.

    The Chicken Tawwa
    Nate L.

    My wife and I have been eating at a restaurant across Golf road and we had been seeing and wanting to try this establishment for years. We FINALLY stopped in and I'm regretting we haven't eaten here earlier! Falafel house features a middle eastern fusion quisine and the selections on their menu has a fimilar theme. I had their Chicken Tawwa with rice and my wife had the Hummus with meat (Chicken Schwarma). Both dishes were ample and delicious! We wouldn't hesitate to return and will be trying everything on their menu.

    Beef Tawwa Rice

    Great food and service. I always order the tawa beef or the tawa chicken rice spicy. It comes with garlic sauce and is extremely flavorful! Definitely recommend and will continue to come back!

    Their menu

    Falafil Hut sits kind of hiden in one of the many shopping plazas Golf Road in Schaumburg. It is a very small place with two small tables and a counter where you can order (but not sit at). So, if you are lucky you might find a place to sit while there, but chances are if you go to Falafil Hut you are going there for take out. The food was good. We ordered a lot - mainly their spicy chicken shwarma. They advertise that they are the place for spicy chicken shwarma. I have to admit that it was good. The pita they give you is not the typical small round - it is a large flatbread. It is also soft like you would expect, but this is not a pocket pita. The dinner comes with a small salad. And, their hummus was good, but not the best I've had in the suburbs. So, I would classify Falafil Hut as a good middle eastern take-out restaurant. Compared to some of the others in the area, it is not the best. But, it certainly rates as one to try.

That's mostly because I've been burned by a couple of places where I gave them the five stars for a nice meal, only to be slightly more disappointed on future visits. But Pita House earns the five stars for me, because I've been there very often, and besides the wonderful food, I find them to be consistent, polite, and professional, with reasonable pricing just as a bonus. On this visit I opted for the beef shawarma sandwich, falafel, and the fatoush salad. I ate inside as I usually do here, because it's easy, spacious and clean. Although I'm not a huge falafel lover, I always enjoy them here. The salad was a new choice for me and I really liked it. The beef shawarma is my standard go-to here. Usually I order the plate, but lately I've gone with the sandwich. They stuff it nicely. Although I haven't had their lentil soup lately, it is always excellent. Five stars here for me!

We placed our orders and then waited at a table for them to bring us our food. While they were super friendly, it wasn't the fastest service and we were waiting for quite a while. Finally i went up to confirm they were working on our order and it appeared a few minutes later. It was worth the wait because we all agreed it was delicious! I had ordered a kebab sandwich on a laffa, which was stuffed with israeli salad, hummus, tehina, pickles and french fries (the best part). It was all so tasty, especially the laffa which i'm pretty sure they make in house. It was also ginormous. I ended up taking half home and eating it for dinner. The rest of my party enjoyed their sandwiches as much as I did. Before leaving we shopped for some treats at the market, including a $20 dubai chocolate bar that my kids have been dying to try thanks to tiktok. They split it for dessert later that evening and all 3 of them agreed it lived up to the hype. This is a great food option if looking for kosher food...or if you just want really tasty food!
