Afghan Kabob's subtitle is Authentic Afghanistan Food - I'm not knowledgeable either way, but the…read morefood is pretty tasty! The interior is a lot nicer than it would seem from its strip mall location. The kabobs are seasoned well and have some spice to it. The owner/manager(?) is super friendly, but always hustling. The kabuli palaw is fall-of-the bone tender, definitely should give it a try! I've had dine-in and carry out. They do take care of the carry out. The food is presented nice even after I get it home. I couldn't say it's a hidden gem because a lot of people know about this spot, the dine-in is busy (but not crowded). It's a well-known gem.

I first visited Al Bawadi Grill at their Bridgeview location, and it was an outstanding experience…read more The food was delicious, and the service was exceptional, which is why I kept coming back. I've since visited the Niles location several times. The food has always been consistently excellent, but unfortunately the service has never matched the quality of the kitchen. Today's visit was by far the worst. It took over 10 minutes for our server to come to the table to take our order. Throughout the meal, I had to repeatedly flag her down whenever we needed something. To make matters worse, she seemed to disappear halfway through dinner--I'm assuming she clocked out--because we had to get another server's attention just to receive basic assistance. The food, however, was fantastic. I ordered the Al Bawadi Seafood Mixed Grill, and it absolutely delivered. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. That's what makes this so frustrating. This restaurant serves some of the best Middle Eastern food in the area, but when you're paying premium prices, you expect service that matches the quality of the food. I still recommend the food without hesitation, but the consistently poor service at the Niles location is making it harder to justify returning.

I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. If you are looking for delicious food in a beautiful…read moreroom with excellent service, you've come to the right place. Our server was so kind and never let us make the mistake of ordering the wrong thing. She gave us her recommendations every step of the way and every single one was perfect. What we got: Mint lemonade: 5/5. SO refreshing and delicious. Perfect sweetness and the little bit of pulp you get is great. I only wish there was more of it! Chicken arayes: 4.5/5. Crispy, cheesy, garlicky. Need I say more? Get some extra garlic on the side if you wanna take it up a notch. Fried halloumi: 4/5. These are like a soft mozzarella stick, so tasty. Definitely eat the pickles with them. Lamb chops: 4.5/5. 4 tender lamb chops seasoned beautifully. Definitely recommend the red rice over the yellow if you can handle a little bit of heat. Kanafeh: 5/5. Whoever thought that cheese, sweet syrup, phyllo, and pistachios would go together is a genius. Definitely don't leave without getting this dessert. The salt of the cheese perfectly balances out the sweetness. No notes! And get some peppermint tea to go with it too. And the portion sizes are huge! Definitely get your money's worth here. My only issue is this place is right by my job so now I'm gonna go broke getting food here all the time. But that's a problem I'd love to have!

There is not a bad choice on the menu here. I always get the Lula plate. When it's described on the menu that it is cooked to perfection, I can honestly say that's not exaggeration. The mushroom, rice, pilaf and cabbage salad is always such a great combo with any of your proteins. We always give baba ganoush with the dish because we end up ordering a large hummus on the side just for leftovers at home because they're homemade. Hummus is so good and better than any other store we've ever purchased from. The combo plate is such a great choice if you're splitting amongst two people and want to get some baklava and hummus on the side or a different type of appetizer. Or if you just want variety the, plate is amazing. I could not recommend this place enough! If you haven't tried Siunik please stop in! Or order it to go. It's great to take home but there's nothing like having it fresh in the restaurant. It really elevates it.

Mohammed walked us through planning the food choices and while we didn't switch many things out - he mentioned that he was open to making changes with little to no charge. We had a pick up time of 11 am on a Sunday which 11 is the open time and I was very surprised that when I walked in, all of the food was ready on a cart to be brought to my car. All my guests were raving about the food saying it was great and we had so many left overs, majority of the guests got up to get "to go" boxes. I would definitely cater through Pita Inn again.

The line does get long time to time, but it's worth it. And you do get your food really fast.. It does get loud and a little bit crazy, but it's perfectly fine and it's a very big spaces.

The beef Shawarma and the chicken Shawarma were very dry. The rice was very good. The onions were nice. They weren't hot. They must soak them in water. My boyfriend had the burger special. the burger was really good. It was Char grilled the french fries were excellent. I would literally come back and just order french fries. They were that good . The service was lacking you order at the counter and then you go pick it up, which is fine, but I just felt kind of slighted, and the service was an equal. There are some policeman that were there ahead of us, and I noticed how she catered to them and brought the food to them and with us she just kind of ignored us and wasn't that great Service goes a long way and I usually definitely go for the food, but it doesn't hurt to have good customer service. The picture of the burger didn't represent what we had . I wanted another bite of the burger . Half a A sandwich left and no more meat. There was a wait and soup was tepid and the food was tepid .

We arrived late, so we had just missed dinner, but the staff was friendly. They offered to bring us dinner, although we were late. We declined.

I ordered the chicken kebab sandwich and it is flavorful, tastes fresh, and it's not a skimpy. You do get a choice of the type of bread you want, I went with pita. Consistency is so important in restaurants and In so happy that this sandwich hit the mark every single time. We also have tried the pink sultan (beets/yogurt spread) and the baba ghanoush. Both are really good. I'm looking forward to going back and trying the doner and other sides! Service is friendly.

Given their high ratings and thus our expectations, we ended up having but a meh, ok lunch. The wife and I split a lunch special combination plate ($17) and a bowl of lentil soup ($8). Complimentary bread was provided. The lentil soup was a bit watered down. The combo plate content was an average value but it was disappointing mainly as it wasn't hot, and everything was barely lukewarm. Ali was our friendly and gregarious server, hails from Istanbul, and has only been there a few weeks. There's a 2% credit card charge, so I just paid cash. It's a one and done for us here, but best of luck to Cappadocia!
