Got to be the best place for Middle Eastern food in Evanston. Habibi In is a hugely popular…read morerestaurant. It seriously gets a lot of people in here, and there's not much room so it always seems busy though. Easy to say there's lots of business going on, and there's not a whole lot of room inside. The prices are pretty good especially when getting platters. Came and we got a couple of the combos. It's about $13 for a platter. They have chicken and other meats, or vegetables, so you can get these in a wrap. Got us the vegetarian friendly ones. I got the Falafel Sandwich. This is a falafel entree meal that comes in the choice of pita or wrap. A lot of combos you can get. These include kabobs. Get a drink and fries to save a few bucks. There's a few that are meaty. Has pretty big food menu that makes it hard to choose. It's best to get one of the platters to save a lot of money. There's plenty for meat eaters, including the beef and chicken, and there's plenty for vegans and vegetarians.

Staff was friendly and helpful to pick our meal items. You pay after ordering. They took our name and within 10 min or so, got the food delivered to our table. Food was freshly cooked and attractive. Got the Habibi plate, gyro mix with chicken, and strawberry date shake. Habibi plate and gyro plate gave a lot of overlap, so if you want more variety pick a more different 2nd item. Food quality was good. Taste was very appetizing, cooked and presented well. Enjoyed everything, but would probably not suggest the strawberry date shake. All they had was strawberry icecream left when we visited. Quality of the shake was good but could have been more enjoyable with a different flavor combo. Would come back again to try different menu items.

From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly -- the staff was friendly and incredibly helpful. Marisela took the time to explain everything step by step, which made my first visit so easy and enjoyable. Everything looked amazing, and she recommended a plate that let me try a little bit of everything. I wasn't disappointed! The hummus, salad, and especially the chicken shawarma were fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The store was clean, and the food presentation was excellent. As a first-time customer, I really appreciated the kind and patient service -- it's rare to find staff so genuinely helpful these days. Thank you, Marisela, for guiding me through everything and for your wonderful recommendations. I'll definitely be back and will be telling my colleagues about this gem near our office. Olive Mediterránean Grill has officially gained a loyal customer!

The kebab chicken I ordered was very moist and delicious and I took half of it home. They had wonderful bread, dill rice, and a tomato salad. Excellent hummus very creamy. I will definitely come back and maybe next time try some of their desserts they look fantastic. It would be fun to come with a big group share family style.

The young staff is always cheerful and helpful, and more than once we've been offered a sample of the amazing and velvety lentil soup as we're waiting to order. Our go to - the LARGE order of lentil soup (don't skip!) and the vegetarian platter. Falafel is crispy and just the right consistency. Hummus and baba ghanouj are flavorful, and it's fun to try a choice of two salads and dressings. All are good. So glad such a great place took over this space ~ it's where the Boston Chicken used to be, so there is plentiful parking and it's easy to get in and out. Today, we got home with our meal and found that one of the sauces were left out. Disappointed, but it won't stop us from going back again and again. It's a great place and highly recommended.
