Ed's Kitchen is awesome! First time trying Ed's and it blew me away…read more It was my first time trying falafel and they gave me a great introduction to falafel. Very crispy and vibrant flavor. The tahini sauce was delicious! The chicken kebab platter is what really had me salivating. Seasoned, moist and fresh off the grill. Legit some of the best chicken I've ever had. The garlic sauce was an added bonus but really didn't even need to use it. The chicken was that good on its own. Suffice to say I'll be back haha.

Living less than two miles away I have passed this place 100 times. Finally decided to give it a…read moretry since their new dining room was opened. Unfortunately when I went on a Friday afternoon the dining area was closed. Looked like they were filming and taking pictures. They were in the kitchen too. Anyway, I placed an order to go and less than 10 minutes later I was out the door. Ordered the BAM cheeseburger and small fries. A little pricey but then everything is. The mixture of beef and lamb is luxurious. Great blend and let's hear it for a good old fashioned char burger! The spices and sauce are subtle yet distinctive and unique. Wonderful flavors throughout. The fries are the larger/thick cut that I usually don't enjoy, but these were fried perfectly and had a great texture. Now I'm going to be nit picky on the build of the burger. And this is obviously personal preference. The burger patty is a generous size. However, the cheese was so melted and thin, I barely noticed. The onion was a raw white onion and also a generous cut. I would prefer a red onion or grill them. As it was, the onion kind of dominated the flavor. The tomato, pickles, and lettuce were all good, which added up to a tall build. Finally, a brioche bun. I know, the world loves a brioche bun. On a burger, I don't want the extra sweetness of brioche. Give me a good old potato bun or sesame seed bun instead. Nothing bad about any of the above. Great service, fast and friendly. I look forward to the dining room open and trying a gyro plate! I'll be back for sure.

Just happened to be in the area and decided to try this place since we had never been before…read more Walked into a delicious aroma, and knew right away we had made the right choice. I chose the Chicken Koobideh which was so juicy, I was shocked! I've had good Koobideh, but never this juicy and tender! Strong flavor, and hint of saffron, a true delight. I also ordered the Ghormeh Sabji - which is a soya (dill) based green stew with meat and beans, and when it first comes to the table, you're thinking this looks and smells like henna paste, but the taste is so beautifully complex - savory, bitter, buttery, and pure deliciousness in every bite!!!!! A must try for something different. Husband ordered the lamb shank, and it was tender and fall off the bone! The meat was soft and unctuous. It was served with this roasted garlic bulb that was roasted to perfection, taking the harshness of the garlic away and replacing it with a soft, buttery, jammy garlicky goodness that is to DIE for!!!! Lastly, my mom got the lamb and beef Koobideh and said it was soft and juicy as well. After food, we had their tea and it is absolute perfection. I take mine sweetened, but even unsweetened my mother found it perfect! Lastly, don't sleep on the DOOGH! That's that fermented yogurt drink that is tart, salty, and super refreshing! I almost didn't even wanna tell yall about it, but I reminded myself that gatekeeping is a cardinal sin! And finally, the ambiance and the service is AMAZING. So gracious, so soft spoken, so generous and just kind to boot. The food is delicious but I'd come back just to see these smiling faces!!!

What a true gem of a find!…read more This is a small place in a small strip mall. The manager and the food are outstanding! My husband ordered a chicken and rice dish, I ordered the vegan dill rice. Very few places serve dill rice, but it delicious and one of my favorite foods. I rarely cook dill rice, because of how time-consuming preparing dill is to separate from the stems. The manager came by to ask how our food was, to which I replied, "Excellent, but this dill rice has no lima beans or fava beans." He informed me that he has had customers that are allergic to lime beans, but is happy to include them if they are requested when ordering. He also said that they will make any menu item modification when requested. They have a menu board as well as QR code menus. Top place for people of any dietary need/choice!

I picked up some candy by the pound (delightful miniature hard candies with intense fruit flavors) and some chocolate covered vegetarian marshmallows (made with pectin). Vanilla-flavored, noncoated vegie marshmallows are available as well; I'll be coming back to try them. The chocolate covered ones have a fairly strong lemon flavor, with a little crunchiness along the edges, like there's a cookie in there somewhere. Texture isn't that marshmallowy but they're tasty and it's a treat for a vegetarian who doesn't get to eat marshmallows often. Open late.

Inside, it looked really clean and thematic. The lighting was perfect. I was pleased to see that they also serve alcohol. The menu is impressive and they have lunch specials, Monday-Thursday.

This will probably be a consistent stop for us when we want to make a nicer meal for ourselves, family, holidays or trying out a new recipe and want to stop for extra good quality meat! If you're in Glen ellyn, I think this is a worth it stop for meat you know is good.

The customer service makes you nostalgic for the days when people actually made conversation with their customers. Questions were answered thoughtfully and with so much enthusiasm. A very impressive store. We will be back!
