    With so many shawarma spots in the area, it's hard to pick the best, they truly are pretty good, but I will say that Hello Shawarma has the advantage because of the beshka sandwich. It's like the Arab version of a Philly sandwich. I'm not Jordanian/Palestinian so this sandwich is a totally new concept for me and we are in love with it. I also love their pickle station. Those peppers and the cauliflowers are my favorite pickles and to have access to all that is a dream. Sometimes I just stop by for the pickles. Then of course, the bowls are delicious as well. Seating is always ample and service is always great. Overall, it's a must stop on your shawarma journey. Oh yeah, don't forget to try the lentil soup!

    I love Hello Shawarma. Unfortunately I don't go that often because Bridgeview is a bit of a drive, but thanks to the Lombard location it's now more accessible. This new Hello Shawarma is located in a nice, large plaza with plenty of parking. What's more, there are other food options in this plaza and nearby, such as Seoul Bites, Cocomelt, Holy Buckets, and Chi Tea. This location is larger than the one is Bridgeview, which is great. You order at the counter and get a number to take to your table. If you order takeout, they will call your name when it's ready. We ordered a chicken shawarma meal (sandwich + fries + drink) and a beef bashka sandwich. Unfortunately I forgot to take a photo of the bashka, but both dishes were tasty and satisfying. The fries were good, but didn't seem as good as the Bridgeview location. I also noticed that the Lombard location didn't include the sweet bbq (?) sauce with the bashka like Bridgeview does. In any case, good food and good service. I was happy to see the same gentleman here that runs the Bridgeview location, so food quality will hopefully be consistent.

From the appetizers to the chicken shawarma wraps to the sauce's provided was perfect!! Kids enjoyed every bit of the food on the platter!! Customer service was great too!! Keep up the good work!!

    First time in and it was packed with customers enjoying the food and family. Great layout that allows you to view your dish being made to all ingredients out to view as well. To be correct middle eastern crowd. But never once felt out of place. And Gentlemen working the front is very helpful in making sure exactly what I was ordering being it. My first time in I made a very clear multiple times. I had any questions. Do not hesitate to ask. I'll be back very soon

The kabobs were full of flavor and generously portioned. The rice pilaf that accompanied the special was fluffy packed with flavorful. We had to come back to try the lamb shank and the lamb chops dinners. You can order anything on their menu anytime of day lunch or diner! You don't need to go anywhere else for a very high end meal- it's here and very economical! All the food is halal, cooked fresh, generously portioned and full of traditional middle eastern flavors beyond what we imagined. The lamb- where do I begin? It was perfectly seasoned, as tender and delicious and the BEST IN THE AREA! We haven't had lamb this good since we left Greece. 10 stars! We also ordered falafel's that were crispy on the outside, perfectly sized and not a bit oily. Not overly seasoned and served piping hot! All the sauces; toum, tahini and the red sauce had their own authentic flavors. The red sauce was a wonderful blend of mint, cilantro, fresh ground tomato and herbs that gives additional flavor to the already excellent tender melt in your mouth lamb. Several great experiences we had coming here and will continue. Mohammed the owner takes special care and pride in the food. He's very passionate about the authentic middle eastern cuisine he's offering to customers at his restaurant. Thank you for wonderful meals that never disappoint!

Is a place was really nice inside and the parking is a bit small but there is a valet and the service was good. For the food the seafood platter was good the salmon was cooked perfectly but we were a bit disappointed with the Shawarma plate according to my friend the beef and lamb tasted like jerky so he was really disappointed with it we did order a lamp kebab which was really good I am very picky with my lamb and this one I would go back for because it didn't have that after it taste that I don't like when eating lamb. I would definitely still go back to try some other stuff in the menu. But definitely will have to try the meat kabob instead of the shawarmas next time. Happy eating!
