    Great food, everything tasted delicious! I've catered here before and everything was packaged well and all items were good. They offer a rewards program which is nice when you're surprised with a discount on your bill. Definitely give them a try you won't be disappointed!

    Chicken shish tawook

    Soooo good. 5.99 for the chicken shish tawook sandwich is a steal. The pita is amazing and the chicken is grilled perfectly. Garlic sauce is perfect. Also. They are super nice, came looking for me in the parking lot when my sandwich was ready. Wish this place was near where I live and I was sticking around town long enough for dinner! Seriously, this is a lunch steal!

    I went on a Tuesday night, and the restaurant was not crowded. The ambiance was nice, though! The place was comfortable. There were sofa booths on the side, which were perfect seating for groups of 3-4 people. The staff was so kind and helpful, but I wish they would fill our water more often. The menu was pretty big, and they had various vegan- and vegetarian-friendly items. We shared fried kibbee and hummus for appetizers. The hummus came with a basket of small, fluffy bread. It's like pita pockets but smaller in size, fluffier, and not as thin. I don't know what these breads are called or if they're just a variation of pita, but these breads are the highlights of our dinner. Best bread ever. The Kibbee was delicious, too! Meaty, crispy, and moist on the inside. I order shawarma beef on Baba Ghanoush. My friends got the shrimp scampy with rice and vegetable ghallaba. Entrees came with either rice or fries and soup or salad. I went for the lentil soup, and I loved it. Usually lentil soup can be very dense, but theirs was not. I think there's some lemon juice that brightens up the soup. The portions were huge, and by the end of my meal, I was beyond stuffed. The shawarma meat was chewy, but it was tasty. The baba ghanoush was a bit too salty. My friends loved their food, but I didn't try theirs. The price was a bit expensive, but the food portion was large indeed. Overall, we had a great experience.

    My boyfriend and I did Doordash from here tonight and everything was delicious. DD was also offering a $5 off $35 coupon. We ordered: -shish tawook sandwich: tasty but I didn't know there was lettuce (I'm not a fan of lettuce in sandwiches). -shish kafta sandwich: my boyfriend said this was great. -Sandwiches were $9.99 on DD which is a bit pricey, but technically they're a combo and then you choose a side, for an additional price - anything from rice (75c) to fries ($1) to mixed veggies ($1.99). I got the veggies and they were charred on the grill and delicious - onions, carrot, cauliflower. -My boyfriend got the baba ghanoush as his side, and for $1.99 you get a fairly large portion -Small fattoush salad, was decent. -Chicken lemon soup, for $3.99 as another side - very tasty, esp. since I haven't had it for a while. -Side of bread and garlic ($4.99) the bread reminded me of La Saj's (Troy) and was homemade. Garlic had a bit of a kick to it and we are wondering if they added jalapeños; it was good, though. You only get about a 4-oz. thing of garlic, FYI - for I think $8.99, you can get a 16-oz. container of garlic though. Overall everything was very tasty here and I liked everything we ordered. We will probably order again at some point or stop by the actual restaurant in Oak Park.

    I never made it to the prior restaurant before it turned into this place. It's a good location, as it's on my way home every day from work. Staff is super friendly and warm. Chatted me up while I waited for my carry out order. I ordered the mango smoothie and a mint lemonade and had a pre-sample of which was refreshing and delicious. I also watched them cut and roll out the dough for the pita pocket. The chicken was wrapped separately, so as not to make the lettuce from getting wilted on the drive home. The pita pockets are small, a bit on the Dan side. There is no pocket as it's just a small round loaf. It still taste good and has a slight sweetness to it. The mint lemonade was my favorite part of the meal. Fatoosh tawook and the Caesar tawook was good too. The food all tasted and was fresh. Will be back again for more carry outs on the way home for sure My husband enjoyed his Caesar and really liked the taste of the mango, strawberry, banana smoothie. Went back with my husband and colleague last night. Service and food wasn't as good as my first visit. We ordered the combo platter, all of that was fine. Their fresh pita bread was warm and right out of the oven, but they are quite dense and doesn't have the pocket I have come to like in most middle eastern or Lebanese restaurants. Their pita is essentially a roll. The hummus, babaganouj and the their tabouli were all good. My colleague ordered a chicken Tawook sandwich and liked it well enough. I got a large fatoosh with salmon on it. The salmon had maybe a bit of salt and pepper on it, but it didn't taste fresh at all. It tasted off to both my husband and me. We didn't end up finishing it since we weren't certain if it would make us sick or not. Food wasn't as good as my first time here.

    One of my new favorite places for middle eastern food! Service was great, the restaurant was clean and the food is AMAZING. Definitely recommend! Large portions at a great price too!

    This is the Sautéed chicken with mushrooms and jalapeños with rice.

    I'm not sure I'd base my opinion on this restaurant on shrimp scampi. Compares to the previous grapes leaves fairly evenly.
