If it weren't for a Yelp event, I'd have never known how out-of-this-world awesome LaShuk is. I've had mediocre falafel, I've had good falafel, but here, I had mind-blowing falafel. LaShuk is truly next level. The flavors and textures are all dead on. The herbs and spices within bestow tremendous flavor, which is to say nothing of its texture. The exterior is crisp, and the interior is so soft, it's almost pillowy! Everything is fresh, too; these didn't at all feel like they'd come from a hotel pan. Let me also talk to the hummus! While, to be fair, hummus is not my favorite thing in the world, this is something LaShuk executes amazingly nonetheless. It was silky smooth, and had great flavor. In a world where it seems once can either choose fried calories or diet conscious rabbit foot, LaShuk stands as a bastion of deliciousness. It is both a healthier option, but also one that absolutely SLAPS in terms of all around flavors and textures. read more

LaShuk Street Food - Falafel Hummus Bowl - Middle Eastern Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Can't speak higher about LaShuk. Everyone in my office LOVES it, especially me!!! Their falafel - 10/10. Chicken shawarma - 10/10. Israeli salad - 10/10. Hummus - 10/10. I always get either their chicken shawarma or falafel rice platter. I also tried their mushroom and caramelized onions hummus bowl and I was legit in heaven. I cannot rave more about the food here it's simply to-die-for. Their staff is very friendly as well! I wish they had another place instead of just being inside of Sterling Hall. If they had their own place I would go probably once a week. Just go here. You won't be disappointed! read more

A little pricey but they give you a good amount of food. I tried the Baharat Spiced Beef plate and it wasn't bad, but I'd probably try something else next time. The beef was good but a bit heavy during a work day. read more

The food is incredible!!! The shwarma moist and flavorful. The bowl full of humus, chickpeas and spice. Served in a Togo bowl it doesn't seem like much food, but it was filling and more than enough. One pita wasn't enough to mop up all the hummus. And the rose water lemonade, while tart and lemon with great aroma, was also half ice. Next time will order the zaatar pita. No chips or fries which would have made the meal complete. The food was good enough to encourage people to travel here! Might be a food court the food is clearly outstanding. read more

I was in Chicago for an event and asked someone at the JW Marriot where she would go to eat and she gave me this place. I went and ordered the steak hummus bowl and it was fantastic. Freshly made and very tasty. I will be back before leaving. read more

The hummus tastes so fresh and light. Falafel is perfect texture. Simple and well made. Highly recommend.

Delicious meal at Lashuk Street Food. Highly recommend the hummus bowl with za'atar chicken - everything was incredibly fresh and flavorful - the hummus was creamy and the chicken was perfectly seasoned. Definitely coming back to try more of the menu! read more

LaShuk Street Food - Za'atar chicken hummus bowl - Middle Eastern Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

3.5! LaShuk is definitely a casual workday lunch place in the middle of a food hall. I was looking forward to try it because of the raving reviews on the chicken, but i felt like the chicken didn't give what it was supposed to give. Nothing about the chicken was really 'Zatar', and felt like the chicken was super dry and even burnt? However all the carbs around it like the pita and rice stood out to me. The pita was very stretchy and soft like mochi and it was the best pita I've ever had in my life. I also appreciated how the rice was slightly sweet. I also ordered a side of falafels that were okay when hot but somehow even better when cold? Overall not a bad place but it was okay. If the chicken had been better I would've given it a better rating read more

LaShuk Street Food - Za'atar Chicken Rice Platter - Middle Eastern Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Small quantities at high prices and additional up-charge for everything. Rude service. I'm really disappointed.

Absolutely some of the best middle eastern food I've ever had, and I have spent time in the Middle East. Really solid - great smoke flavor where it should be, great house made zhug, great pita, chicken was moist and tasted like it was grilled on charcoal. Exceptional. read more

Great place to get Middle Eastern food in the Revival Food Hall. It's only open on weekdays, which is the only bad thing about it. LaShuk is another of those places where there's long ass lines. For sure it's worth waiting awhile. There's meaty options like shawarma as well as vegetarian choices such as falafel. Came in the last time and it was busy. It took a long time it seemed to get to the counter. This was a sign this place is good though. After eating, I can say it was a good idea to wait around. The food may be kind of expensive, but you get a lot. I got the Falafel Platter, which was a pretty impressive amount. It's about $14, but you get tons of food though. Falafel was crispy without being burnt. There was also hummus, pitas, and tahini. For sure one of the best options in Revival Food Hall. It can get pretty busy sometimes. There's good choices for both meat eaters and vegetarians. read more

Absolutely amazing! LaShuk catered my daughter's graduation party and that was the BEST decision ever! The guests were raving about the food - even the hard-to-please ones. Nearly everyone came back for seconds, and some even had 3 plates worth. The falafel was the most authentic, moist and delicious falafel we've ever had, and we eat a lot of falafel. Even people who dislike veggies loved the cauliflower and tahini. Everything we ordered was so flavorful. I was concerned that the food would be a bit dry since I had it out for a while, but it wasn't at all. In fact, the leftovers the next day tasted freshly made. Chef Yosi was beyond wonderful. He was responsive to my multiple questions, extremely accommodating and kind. Planning a party for over 30 guests is stressful, and he made it so easy. When we picked up the food, his staff was waiting and it couldn't have gone more smoothy. La Shuk is my new go-to restaurant! read more

Although this place is tucked in a little food hall, it's actually pretty tasty! I grabbed dinner here to-go while I was in town and took it back to my hotel. Service was relatively quick, and the falafel was delicious. Rice was done well and the pita was soft. Hummus was good but not the best I've ever had. All in all, a delightfully yummy place. read more

Recently popped into LaShuk for a speedy lunch while visiting Chicago from Southern CA. What a great stop! I'm vegan, and the two friends who joined me are not, and we all left full and happy with our orders. For me, that was a falafel hummus bowl. This place is fast, casual, delicious, and is one of the few spots in this area I found that could handle my complicated protein needs in a healthy way. Recommended! read more

It's inside of a nice food hall in downtown Chicago. I had the hummus and chicken shawarma and wasn't impressed. The flavor of the hummus was a bit off and the chicken shawarma was not nearly as flavorful as I expected it would be. read more

I ate here for lunch during the week. It's in a hall with about a dozen restaurants. It gets busy around noon. I had the chicken Schwarma platter. The rice has a slightly sweet like clover flavor. The chicken was just okay to me. The cucumber tomato salad was fresh. It came with hummus, pita and a side of creamy garlic sauce. The hummus was thinner than I'm used but it tasted good. read more

Got delivery. Definitely get a hummus bowl and falafel, likely not another rice platter. Falafel hummus bowl - 5/5. Perfect everything. Crispy complex falafel. Creamy hummus. Simple but effective combination I could lap up. Za'atar Chicken Rice Platter - 3.5/5. Decent but not special. Fine rice. Chicken didn't pop as much as I hoped. Hummus was the best part. read more

From the homemade hummus to the pillowy bread, everything was on point! Stuff did their best to accommodate us, even in the rush of lunchtime traffic, and the owner made sure we got fresh and warm dishes. read more

LaShuk Street Food - Hummus shawarma with green Zhug - Middle Eastern Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I recently visited Revival Food Hall downtown on Clark Street and from all the vendors I picked LaShuk for my lunch option and ordered the steak hummus bowl with homemade fresh and smooth chickpea blend. It was topped with warm chickpeas, tahini, and baba, zhug (hot sauce) and served with pita. The ordering process was seamless and I was able to customize my bowl and add a drink to my order. Everything was very tasty and fresh. The hummus was very smooth and pita was warm and fluffy. I left very happy and satisfied with my hummus bowl. read more

Absolutely delicious hummus and chicken. The rice could be better but I truly enjoyed my food, I wasn't expecting a stand to be this good. There's a bit of a wait during lunch time and it's a bit pricey bc of its location but it was well worth it. I enjoyed my food and there's always tables available to eat in the food hall should you wish to. Def recommend! read more

Got the Baharat Spiced Beef Hummus Bowl and my husband ate the Shawarma Hummus Bowl . Yes, there is a difference between store bought hummus and the absolutely slap your hand on the counter hummus here. No, I am not from the levant, but hey, I can taste the difference and the hummus here is FIVE stars. Ruined grocery store hummus for me! The spiced beef has an interesting taste profile. Never had it. I always stick to shawarma when I order middle eastern food. I decided to order it and wow! Why did i wait? I can taste some cinnamon in the spice mix which I am not used to in savory dishes. My western palate is accustomed to this spice in sweet dishes, not meat! But time to expand my tastebuds. There is this green sauce on top of the hummus . What is it? It's my new favorite sauce and I have NO idea what it is. I need to buy it by the bottle! Please tell me what it is!! I did have a taste of the shawarma and one of the best in the city. Chicken so tender! Currently though, Baharat is my new fav middle eastern dish. Actually my new fav dish, PERIOD. Ssh...don't tell my filipina mom I like israeli food better than southeast asian food! Only thing I will complain about is that only one pita comes with each bowl. There should be at least two. Bc the bowls look small but they are not. My pita was gone before my bowl was. I ate the rest without pita, still good. But would have been better with another pita. So I recommend ordering an extra pita with the bowls. And again, the hummus, so good. I can't say enough. Currently licking the remnants of the hummus like I am a kid licking the cookie dough out of a bowl. That should tell you something! read more

I started working across the street from Revival Food Hall a few months ago. Since then I have been in there a few times to grab lunch from one of 15 odd ethnically diverse food vendors including LaShuk. I have gotten their chicken shawarma bowl as well as the falafel bowl and they both have been delicious. Everything is flavorful and well balanced. Their pita is soft and fluffy. My only gripe is their prices (I can't speak to pre pandemic prices) since a to go lunch without a drink or side ends up costing over $17! For the portion size and not being a sit down restaurant, that's a bit much. read more

The good reviews aren't wrong. This place is a delight. We ordered falafel, eggplant, hummus, etc. everything was flavorful and delicious. The falafels are on the small side, so double your order if you're hungry. My vegan people: there is no dairy on their menu! read more

This place rules, by far my favorite spot in Revival food hall. Great hummus and pita, and the shawarma is shaved perfectly thin. Little pricey but decent portions. The lady taking orders, despite me being a regular customer, treats me like I spit in her face to start every interaction. Not sure what her issue is. Only complaint. read more

Falafel Hummus Bowl from La Shuk ($13) - The hummus came garnished with chickpeas, pickled vegetables, tahini, olive oil, and diced jalapenos that added the perfect kick - Best hummus I've had all year! I eat hummus like ice cream and I gotta say their falafel hummus bowl was beyond my expectation. I was simply looking for a not greasy lunch after early church service and I hit this jackpot Located: West loop's fancy food court- Politan Row Atmosphere: bright and airy, hipster and great for hangouts! read more

I love Mediterranean food! I got a grilled chicken platter for lunch, it comes with all the fixings. ( yellow rice, pita bread,salad,hummus and tahini sauce) added extra green spicy sauce cause it's super delish. The only thing I didn't like about this place is their hummus. It taste like mayonnaise..eww. Still not bad for $17 and you get a lot. Would recommend and I wanna try the charred eggplant next time :) read more

LaShuk Street Food - Grilled Chicken Platter..so good - Middle Eastern Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I've never liked a place so much that I had to write a review the same night! We went to the location jn revival food hall and got the za'atar chicken hummus bowl. It seemed small at first but was absolutely packed with hummus, juicy chicken, baba ghanoush, and tahini. We got the shug sauce (spicy) on the side and I would recommend doing the same to anyone who has difficulty with spicy foods. Everything was delicious, especially the freshly baked, hot pita that came on the side. I would even suggest getting an extra with your order. It was so soft and doughy, and was great to sop up the hummus with. I would say this is the best middle eastern food I've had in America! This review hasn't even mentioned the amazing service. The two young women working tonight were so nice and helpful. They had great suggestions and were so efficient with our orders, awesome service! I'm definitely going to recommend this place to everyone if they're anywhere remotely near downtown, it's worth checking out! read more

Pita was decent, but this Hummus bowl is just ok! Chicken is about as dry as the Sahara but there's flavor which is the only reason I've give 3 stars read more

I'm new to Yelp so I didn't even think to take a picture to add here but I just had to comment on the food. It's been awhile since I've had real, authentic Middle Eastern food and I just have to say that it was delicious. The food was fresh and the service was great. I believe this is the only location but I really hope that they open up more. I would absolutely go back again! Yummy read more

This place is the drooling emoji personified. Finally got to try the falafel and it was out of this world. Soft and green on the inside but crunchy on the outside- you can tell it's authentic. They now have an insanely delicious grilled and perfectly spiced za'atar pita that is exactly like my favorite street food snack in Israel when you add hummus and roll it up. Run, don't walk here. The places I ate on trips to the Middle East were amazing...this is equal or better. I've gotten everyone in my office hooked on LaShuk, from people who never liked hummus or falafel to people who are from the Middle East and are very picky about their food. We order from here virtually every day. Still wish there was a better way to order from them and directly support the restaurant because the food hall location can be tough to get to. Still dreaming about the fluffy pitas! read more
