Not bad, just not that good, either. Were there for dinner, we had the chicken and lamb/beef, as well as falafel. Not much food, and everything was rather dry. The pitas were stiff and crumbly, the hummus was, what little there was, was not very smooth. Not worth returning unless very close by and very hungry. Would not go out of my way. read more

I just finished having the Mixed Kabobs Platter. Everything was phenomenal. Meat was seasoned and prepared well, the rice was flavorful, and the hummus was fantastic. To top it off, the service was truly warm and hospitable. I think I have a new local favorite! read more

This is a little hidden Jem located in the far corner of the strip mall off of Army trail and county farm rd. We've ordered 2xs from hear the chicken steak dinner combination plates the lamb and chicken is so flavorful. They make the food fresh. I will definitely be back again. read more

A hidden gem! Found this place tonight through yelp and I can't believe I've been missing out. With such few options for good food in this area this will surely become one of my faves! I had the mixed kabob platter and it was super delicious. My only advice is call head. The food is made to order so unless you want to hang out there for 30 minutes, your best bet is to call your order in ahead. Go here! You won't regret it. read more

Went here with a few friends based off of a recommendation and we are so glad we did! We ordered 2 platters of hummus, the J Beez house salad, the mixed kabobs platter, and the ground lamb and beef kabob skewer. As per the menu, the kabobs came with several sides (depends which kabob you order) and everything was very very good. The meat was tender, moist and flavorful. The owner was also super friendly and gave us free samples of Baba Ghanoush with their homemade pita chips. Also very good! The only downfall to J Beez is their location since they were in the corner of a strip mall next to Goodyear. I'm really hoping people give this place a chance and that they are able to get good business. We will definitely be back!! read more

Yummy- fresh and healthy. Good service. Would like to be back on a weekend to try their desi brunch.

Amazing place to cut the cravings for Mediterranean food. Haven't dine in but the take out is great

Delicious food with very friendly staff. You can tell the food was cooked fresh on order and was presently very well for dine in!

I convinced my very picky sister to try this place out with me and we drive out for lunch and it was closed when their hours say they should be open. Bummer. I suggest to call to make sure they are open before going. read more

Small corner of a strip mall. Went around 1:15 and we both ordered the Mixed Shish Kabobs chicken and beef/lamb kabobs and a cucumber salad. Said it would be 15 minutes as he would make it fresh. Wow. Huge amount of delicious food where no matter how we tried it was too much food to finish. Not your standard Gyro shop. I'm fact no gyros at all, but a great choice. Thanks again to Yelp! read more

Delicous thoughtful food. Fresh ingredients. Fair prices. Prepare to wait as the dishes are made to order. Very comfortable dining area. Enjoyed the lentil soup that was rich in flavor. Falafel sandwich and huge salad were amazing. Really a special experience in this area. Very friendly staff. read more

Wow! What a great surprise! Place is hidden in the corner but the food is fantastic! Wife had gyros, chicken kabobs for me. Both very tasty & not overly spiced. Will be back and look forward to trying other menu items. read more

So I had high hopes for this place. We went on the grand opening. The chicken was well cooked. The beef was so so. They don't have any juice or diet drinks nor do they have any milk. The hummus doesn't come with pita. The food is pretty good but I'd probably only do take out. There was a big fan that was very loud. I'll try again another time and see how it goes. read more

Awesome food & friendly staff. Everything is Great! Lunch combos are perfect amount of food. Chicken plate, Veggie Combo, Stuffed Grape Leaves...so many good choices. They are located in the corner of the strip mall next to the auto shop. read more

Tucked back in the corner of a strip mall and a little difficult to notice, tried it for the first time today. Owner is very friendly and helpful. Food is wonderful and a refreshing change from the other cusines in the area. Had the hummus, which was the perfect consistency and flavor, and the falafel which was seasoned well. Had the chicken kabob entree that was very flavordul and perfectly cooked. The rice was also very good. Wrapped up with a cup of great tea. I will be telling lots of people and coming back often. read more

I love Mediterranean food! The food there was amazing! You can tell it was so fresh! I got a few different players. The vegetarian one and the mixed player and a chicken one. My kids loved the rice and the chicken and the side salad. The falafel was so yummy! Very fresh! Everything was great! The owner was super nice and very knowledgeable. I also ordered their lentil soup and he even gave me a bowl of soup to try while waiting for my order. The soup was delicious and it was topped with toasted little pieces of pita bread! It definitely hit the spot! I would definitely recommend! Go check it out! read more

I tried this place for the first time tonight, and it was exceptionally good. I ordered the chicken tender wrap with a side of rice to add on to the wrap. The chicken was so flavorful & juicy. The wrap was overall amazing :) Can't wait to go back! The owner was very kind and accommodating too! read more

Love this place! Glad I got to find a Mediterranean place near me instead of driving to Schaumburg all the time. The prices are a bit pricier, but it's worth it. Definitely coming again. read more

My husband and I are new to the area and decided to try this place out. Boy it did NOT disappoint. We both love the kabob platters. Service is very friendly and nice!! It's a hidden gem for sure. read more

My husband and I stumbled upon this hidden gem and were not disappointed! He had the chicken tender stuffed pita and could not sing its praises enough! I enjoyed the mixed kabobs option#1 and it was seasoned to perfection. We split the loaded fries with gyro meat and left feeling full and satisfied. Our meals were cooked fresh to order and served promptly. The service was genuine and friendly. We highly recommend this restaurant, especially if you enjoy Mediterranean cuisine or are trying it for the first time! Thank you J Beez for a wonderful experience! read more

I've lived in the Carol Stream area for years and this is the first time I discovered J Beez. Tucked into a back corner, we decided to try dine-in dinner. We were not disappointed! Although its small inside, it was very clean and the chairs are very comfortable. We were greeted immediately upon entering. The owner was very gracious and answered all of our questions. Our order was made fresh and they were generous portions. The food was outstanding and the service was excellent! I highly recommend J Beez Fast Food. We will definitely be back. read more

HONEST REVIEW: It is now 12:55pm. I have been waiting outside for almost 30mins. This place opens at 12:30pm as its advertise. Everytime I come here. They are NEVER open on time. Terrible Business. read more

Tried to eat there yesterday but a hand-written sign on the door said "Temporarily closed." Tried calling today and phone rang and rang - no answer and no recording. Hard to say what's going on - but I hope they will reopen. read more

If you're in need for amazing mediterranean food, look no further. This place is a hidden jem! Anytime I'm in the area J Beez is my go-to. Hands down the best falafel I've ever had! Always moist and full of flavor, the falafel packs a punch of deliciousness in each bite. You can tell each meal was freshly made with care. The customer service is excellent & has a very friendly staff. Highly recommend to all types of foodies! read more

Great food. Excellent, friendly service. Had the ground lamb/beef with rice and hummus. Similar at other restaurants can be dried out. This was not. Still moist and flavorful after drive home. Husband had chicken steak sandwich. Both of us agreed we would definitely come back again. read more

The food is pretty tasty & authentic. Great owners very friendly. It's tucked away in a corner, definitely worth the time & wait.

J Beez's food is very fresh and flavorful. Best Mediterranean food in the area. It is a real hidden jem in Carol Stream. Met the owner a few times and he is very friendly and knows what he is doing! read more

We came across this place through yelp. The reviews were amazing so we decided to give it a go as me and my husband love Mediterranean food. All I can say is that this by far is the best Mediterranean food place I've tried since I've moved to Chicago from London. I am a very big foodie and can tell by the smell of the food if I'm going to like it or not. I loved it! Amazing food. Friendly owner and would highly recommend this place! read more

Don't judge a book by its cover...there's nothing fancy about the storefront venue. But inside you'll find super food and amazing service. Everything cooked to order and delicious! read more

Tucked away in a random strip mall, you could definitely miss this place driving by. Fresh ingredients with authentic homemade cooking. A great place for a lunch special if you want something healthier/different opposed to the chain restaurants and burger joints in the area. read more

Hidden place but well worth the find. Food is made fresh and I mean from scratch fresh. Food portions are good size so you won't. Be disappointed. The meats are halal if you practice that. It will be one of my stops now that I found this hidden gem. read more

I've been here a number of times -- order in and takeout. I love the ground chicken and vegetable skewer, my wife (a vegan) loves the falafel and hummus. Great people working here as well - very nice and willing to help. read more

We got the chicken shish kabob salad and chicken shish kabob plate. Chicken was grilled to perfection and we could tell the ingredients are all fresh/good for you. Best Mediterranean place we've tried! Will definitely be coming back. read more

This place is the reason I go to mom and pop places. They are hidden gems. As soon as we walked in, the owner (I presume) greeted us warmly. My friend and I both got the chicken kebab, and by the end of the meal there wasn't a piece of food left on the plate. The chicken was seasoned perfectly, the rice delicious, and the side of hummus was a great addition. I highly recommend giving them a try. Don't let the fact it is slightly hidden fool you, it's worth it. read more

Came here after lunch hour during the weekend. The owner was super friendly. I had the chicken kabob plate and it was amazing. Chicken was super tender and melted in my mouth. Flavor was on point. Must try the garlic tahini and garlic sauce too. read more

The food is consistently great, and service has been wonderful! Chicken kabobs are tender, never dry, family favorite! Love this place!

Had the chicken shish entree yesterday and on my way back today for another one I'm in love with the chicken it tastes amazing

Given the other good reviews, I was looking forward to a good Mediterranean meal. Sadly, I was disappointed. Must've just been a bad day. The rice was OK. Most of the rest of it had to get tossed. I'm not sure how the meat in the beef kebabs was prepared, but it wasn't recognizable as beef and the texture reminded me of chicken livers! Not what I expected. read more

After trying this place out all I can say is that you can't trust the yelp reviews on this restaurant and that's the first time I've ever said this. This is because I ended up paying close to 30$ for 2 plates of at most decent food. The portions in my opinion were small and the taste was not bad but for that price I would have expected a lot more flavor and larger portions-like their competitor pita inn. Also, Customer service was good and the environment was ok. read more

The food is delicious, and the owner is very kind. You can't go wrong giving this place a try, highly recommended.
