Do not let the strip mall fool you. Do not let the kiosk ordering fool you. Do not let the…read moreunassuming interior fool you. Just go. Taste of Jerusalem is the kind of place that reminds you why you should never judge a restaurant by its zip code or its signage. Tucked into a perfectly forgettable strip mall in Plainfield, this little spot is quietly serving some of the best food in the area and I am genuinely annoyed it took me this long to find it. The chicken kabob plate was a revelation. Massive portions of beautifully marinated chicken laid over a split of white rice and spicy rice. That spicy rice deserves its own paragraph. Fragrant, deeply spiced, with a slow building heat that lingers just long enough to keep pulling you back for another bite. Addicting is the only word for it. The hummus was exactly what hummus should be, fresh, delicious, also addictive. I added falafel and pita and those falafel were genuinely among the best I have ever had. Perfectly cooked, not a trace of that greasy heaviness that ruins lesser versions. Just fragrant, spiced, crispy little bites that I genuinely savored. My partner got the chicken wrap and said every component worked together without competing, tasted fresh, and left him full without feeling heavy. High praise from a man who knows his way around a wrap. The space is clean and simple. You order from a kiosk. None of that matters because the husband and wife team running the grill are pouring obvious passion into every plate and it comes through in every single bite. Plainfield has a gem here. Treat it accordingly.

They offer an affordable lunch option for under $11 that includes food and a drink, which is hard to beat. I went with the lunch pita, and it did not disappoint. The pita itself was flavorful and fresh, and the fries were perfectly crisp and well-seasoned, honestly better than expected. Solid Mediterranean food, fair pricing, and good service. Definitely a spot I'd come back to for lunch.

To happy to see Happy Bites has expanded from their Tinley Park location to Lemont & Romeoville!…read moreThe Lemont location has been open since June of 2024. The inside is smaller but very clean. The staff was very welcoming, gave us time to look at the menu, and was very professional. We decided to take advantage of the 60 cent boneless wing special as well as try their famous Nectar of the Gods burger. The 18 piece wing (half hot honey, half sweet habanero) wasn't too spicy but always had a good amount of breading, is crisp, and sauced well. The Nectar of the Gods burger had a lightly grilled bun, juicy burger, and i loved the melty cheese/sauce pairing! The fries also have a light peppering which I love. Happy Bites continues to be a consistent go-to for me and my family in the south burbs. I crave it when I visit, travels well to carry out, and portions are a good size to share. The weekly specials are great to take advantage of to keep costs reasonable!

I gave it another chance, and another chance, and another chance, and another chance. And finally. Finally I can say... vegan cafe is my favorite. Nothing wrong with the food, it's just hard for me to eat raw, cold food. But it's growing on me. If this place can change my mind about raw food.. then they are doing something right. I been to maybe 8 full vegan restaurants, and maybe 50 vegan "friendly", but this place is home. maybe because I'm from lockport, or it's different than any other restaurant I been to, it's unique. it's a treat, and it's healthy.
