    Chicken Shawarma wrap
    Serra L.

    Great food and great service! :) Palestine's best Mediterranean. The hummus and shwarma wraps are amazing and the food is super fresh.

    veggie plate with chicken.

    Mishkenut is our favorite go to spot for some of our middle eastern favs! The owner is amazing , hospitable and passionate about what she does . The food is fresh! we love the hummus , falafel, chicken shawarma raps, and the veggie plate. Veggies are always cooked well but not soggy!

    Combination plate

    I hadn't been here in awhile, am so glad I went. More importantly I will be back. We started out with Tzaziki dip and pita. It was delicious, and also different from what I was used to. Then ordered the combo plate and 2 of us ate on it and still has some food to bring home. If you are in a rush this may not be the place for you. They told us it would be a wait but it was worth waiting for. All of the food on the combo was delicious- Kafka, chicken Swarma, falafel, chicken, beef and of course rice and hummus.

    Shrimp  sauteéd shrimp in garlic

    I ordered the Shrimp sauteéd shrimp in garlic. It was absolutely amazing. The owner recommended that if I love seafood to try their salmon. I will be back!!!

    Falafel

    I rarely ever write bad reviews, but the owner/worker here is one of the rudest women I've ever dealt with as a customer. I've eaten here before, and since there are no other Mediterranean options in the area, I've just dealt with her consistently being short-staffed and downright mean. Very long wait times for food and having to deal with her bad attitude is not worth it. Do yourself a favor and head over to Olive Leaves in Highland to get your fix instead! You don't get to treat your customers badly and still expect to deserve their business.

    Listen. The people who have bad things to say about this place need to realize a few things. Right now, one woman runs this place. She has one server at best to help. When you come in, it may look empty. And she may honestly tell you that it's busy and you'll have a wait. That's because tons of people do takeout orders here. So even if it's an empty dining room, she is in fact busting her a** in there. She's not trying to discourage you, she's just being honest because she's probably tired of people complaining about wait times. So if you're impatient, go somewhere else besides this delightful hole in the wall. If you want a leisurely meal that tastes great, then hang around. We started with the falafel. The outside was crispy. The inside was moist and full of flavor and spice. We also had the mushrooms. I don't know if the mushrooms were fresh vs canned, but the sauce had good flavor. I had the chicken kebab entree, which was huge with a ton of chicken and rice with some accompanying vegetables. The chicken was juicy with just the right char. The rice was aromatic and fluffy. My husband got the cauliflower falafel wrap which was also quite tasty and bursting with fantastic tzatziki sauce. Our server was very kind and made sure we were taken care of. The digs are simple and unadorned. It has a diner/cafe feel. Our whole meal, two appetizers, a large entree, a large fat wrap, and even fries on the side (I would pass on the fries) was around 44 dollars before tip. A huge value for what amounts to a middle eastern home cooked meal.

    Food was great, however, if your menu list at $28.99, a customer should never, ever get a bill with a charge of $34.99! I understand if cost have gone up and you need to adjust your prices. I can even understand if you haven't updated your menu. But I can't understand if you don't tell the customer of the new pricing! That's just bad business sense if not outright deceptive practices! The fact is this country has historically charged Black people more. You're setting yourself up for failure if you don't do the obvious!

    This is my favorite restaurant in NWI and has been for ages! I grew up here and loved coming throughout the years. Even when I lived in Lincoln Park and West Hollywood, I would have to come back whenever I visited my family. I live in the area again and am so glad I stopped by again. I am pescatarian and have been vegan, vegetarian, and a meat eater throughout the years, so I've been able to try the entire menu and have always loved my meal. Also, I have my dad, brother, and some friends are very picky and they have loved dining at Mishkenut, too. Anyway, I drove my mom to her optometrist and we came by for lunch. The place is always clean and is decorated with really great items from the Middle East. The playlist was awesome today! I loved the songs that were playing and kept Shazamming the ones I didn't know. Hal, the owner, was very welcoming from the get go and attentive, friendly, and happy. I don't get the negative reviews about the service at all. She treated us so kindly and did so with the other patrons that walked in. Can't wait to go back again and again!

    For starters, I ordered lentil soup and hummus and pitas. I have to be honest and say that the…read morelentil soup made with red lentils was the best mental soup I've ever had and I've had a lot that pills in comparison to the hummus. It was so silky, smooth, and utterly delicious. My wife and I agreed that it was the best hummus we've ever had and we've been eating hummus for decades. For a main course, we had the mixed grill we upgraded to shrimp instead of a coughed up and had steak and chicken . Everything came out piping hot and it was the juiciest chicken and steak and shrimp. It was simply amazing for the food on the plate. Also came with the yellow rice and a red rice. Both were good although I did like the yellow butter. It also included pickled vegetables which tasted out of this world. The meal also came with a salad, consisting of cucumbers and tomatoes and lettuce and herbs. It was quite good. I appreciated it and it's coming home with me. It's a very cute little place on the inside quiet with nice decor and the food is simply amazing. You'll definitely be back. I cannot recommend this higher overall I give it in 9.4. Service was excellent, and we were checked on multiple times during the meal

    February 9, 2026 me and the wife decided we're not cooking. We're going out for dinner…read more So we went to one of our places that we like in the food is good . My wife got her usual chicken. Souvlaki plate and I got a Gyro. Everything was excellent as usual. The only thing I had a problem with the Gyro was not enough meat in the Gyro for what you're paying for it I mean, if you put a two more sliver of meat on there, I wouldn't have mention this but the Gyro was kind of small. So whoever makes up the Guerro's, maybe you need to add just two more sliver of meat on there and your people will be a lot happier and they'll come and get more. So I hope my next Gyro you could put that extra two things of slices of sliver meat on there and make it a little bit better. I'll be happy. I'll order it all the time if we eat there at least four times a month that's the least. Atmosphere it's nice customers that are sitting in there eating food happy and smiling . Staff and chefs are nice and polite. Thank you very much. Everybody have a great day.

I had a taste for a burger so I ordered the Athenian burger along with the lemon potatoes. I'm so glad I gave it another try because my food was delicious. I will definitely try something else next time.
