Its a local delicacy. The wait time is lengthy but its worth the wait. Some of the best hummus Ive eaten. The fillet skewer was delicious. We also enjoyed the chicken. The fries were fresh. Would come back but maybe just get it to go. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Mashawee Guy is the epitome of a hole in the wall. Minimal parking, fast food interior dressed up to look fancy, so-so service...[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]But there was a steady stream of customers, so I figured it had to be decent.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I didn't pick the best time to go, as there was a large group there and the small staff was busy preparing their orders. After I got someone's attention, I asked for a few skewers with a side of rice. They didn't have rice, so I asked for pita bread instead. I ordered one kufta skewer, one chicken skewer, and one beef (filet mignon) skewer. In addition to the pita bread, they served the food with hummus, pickles, and some sort of tomato salad. Although you order and pay at the counter (no paper menus), they did bring the food out to the table. The kufta and chicken were decent, but a little dry. The beef was excellent; tender and juicy. The hummus and tomato salad were delicious, especially the former. The pita bread was fine, but it would have been nicer if it was slightly warmed up. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior isn't the nicest, but there is an extension with additional seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Decent food and a good value. The total with tax and tip came out to just under $25, which was enough for a light lunch for three people. read more

It was a more than wonderful experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Everything was simple, clean, and delicious.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The meat was cooked well and had a wonderful flavor. The appetizers were delicious and varied, and the staff were very respectful and helpful. Thank you read more

I just ate at Mashawee Guy and throughly enjoyed my meal. The wings were great, the beef and kufta were very flavorful, and the chicken kabob was also well seasoned. The sides that come with the meats were also delicious and provided a great addition to the meat. There was hummus, baba ghanooj, pickled veggies, and an Arabic salad in tahini sauce. The service was quick and attentive. We placed our order and took a seat to wait for the meat to be grilled as everything is made fresh to order. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant itself is small and inside seating is limited however there is a space outside that allows for smoking.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I've tried several mashawee places in the area but this one currently is my favorite. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Not a fancy place, just a hall in the wall type of a place[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], however, the food quality is amazing, the service is good and fast, the meet is tender and tasty so are the appetizers/dips, once you go there few times, you'll start craving the food! read more

I want to tell you it's simply the best shawarma you'll ever eat. But, it's also the best baba ghanouj... and the best smoked wings... and the best kafta.... and the best filet kebab.... and, I swear, it's the best falafel I've ever had. This guy doesn't believe in "good enough". He out here making perfection. It's insane how good this food is. If there's a wait, suck it up and sit yo self down. It'll be worth it. Plus, the owner is just a really nice guy. No exaggeration when I say that this immediately became one of my favorite places to cheat on my diet. Hahaha. You'll love it. Unless you hate Middle Eastern food. In which case, why are you even reading this review? read more

Phone customer service is absolutely horrible. Answering without giving any focus or attention to the call, and banging on things loudly while trying to take an order. I had to repeat myself 10 times and almost was going to hang up. read more

Many good experiences but the most recent meal was burned and very chowi,*****/////*/**/////*****/////

Only review you need to READ! NOT a family place, meaning if you're looking for a server to bring you water or ask if you needed anything else this is not that place. This is delicious food, good quality meats and seasonings are outstanding. But not your typical restaurant. Food prices are a bit high but that's everywhere you go nowadays. Is a great place for guy friends to hang out, grab a great bite. I came here with my family was not what I was expecting. I will definitely return but not with wife and kids. Try this place but lower your expectations of service. Not to say our server was bad or anything just not your typical restaurant service. read more

Best grilled plate in all of illinois. He is hands down the King of Mashawee!!! Very friendly , nice location and place read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]They offer an outside sitting area but not pleasant with the active cigarette smoking while trying to consumer your meal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Smokers consisted of staff.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The area has too many other locations with the same cuisine that would merit another visit at this location. Food was average. read more

Mashawee Guy - Menu - Middle Eastern Near Me - Oak Lawn, Illinois

Good food good customer service really special taste Everything was good prices are fair.

Food quality and flavor are on point. However, we went on a Saturday night at 6pm and they were already out of Falafil and Lamb. There should be better planning for weekends. Food pricing/value are not great for the small portions. Ridiculous surcharges and price gauging. When we got the bill we were charged a 3.5% credit card fee and $4 per water bottle when the can of sodas were only $2, how does that work? We will most probably not go again. read more

I literally love this place so much I would eat here everyday if I could but I'm broke so once a week will have to do. The customer service is amazing!! Once I went there and there was a little miscommunication, it was my fault but he fixed the sandwich for me anyway!!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have an outdoor seating area which is very nice the vibes are chill.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] they're doing a great job MashAllah no pics because I literally ate it before I could even pull my phone out read more

It took 39 minutes for one Kufta sandwich to be ready. The sandwich was good but not special. Waiting is not worth the food. I do not recommend it at all. read more

Food was horrible, chicken kabobs were too skimpy and too salty. Ordered lamb kabobs and it was tough, my dog wouldn't even eat it. I don't even think it was lamb that was served. Didn't look or taste like it. It was a cheap cut of meat. There fries were overly salted with some kind of seasoning that had msg. I'm sitting here with a severe headache due to it. read more

It was my first tIme here, I took my wife and daughter, and the gentleman that took my order took care of us like family.

my parents went to try out the place yesterday and they came back empty handed and very mad. they walked in no one acknowledged them for 10 mins. after my father leaned on the wall mind you not even told to sit down or bother to give them a menu the cook finally acknowledged him and said how can I help you mind you still having customers in front of him not done with them. place is dirty not a family place parents sat down BY THEMSELVES without being told and after another 10 mins no one came to take their order they left the employees didn't even bother to say what's wrong or whyd they leave there's a reason why this place keeps getting closed and opens with a new restaurant TREAT YOUR CUSTOMERS EQUALLY AND ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT THEM..!! read more

Worst customer service ever i placed an order for pick up they told me it need 40 minute i go to pick it up and they didn't even have it ready and they have the guts to tell me to wait another 30 min to make it read more

Delicious food made with fresh ingredients. Don't hesitate to give them a try. Convenient location right off 95th next to stylish cuts.

The food is outstanding here. Timely Service is not found here, food promised in 20 minutes received it about 45 minutes later. Ambiance is okay. I will come back again mainly for the food. Maybe I caught them on a bad day. read more
