Food was 10/10 however....i dined in. The wait was about an hour for the food and most of the other tables were full of ppl waiting for their food, so it was a bit awkward being the only one eating in the place. If I ever go back, I'd definitely do take out. read more

Good food, dependable quality. Even tho they serve meat, it's really easy to eat vegan there, too. We've been regulars every Sunday & they even catered our small wedding. Sometimes they get really busy because lots of people want to eat there. If you haven't tried it, you should! read more

The restaurant is very unassuming located in a small strip mall. We parked in the back parking lot and noticed a sign next to the door for a $7.95 lunch special which included a sampling of their menu. The three of us dining went with that. The waitress did tell us that there was a $2 up charge since that sign was installed. The special included chicken, beef, kufta, hummus, salad, and rice. Served with a side of pita bread. The chicken and beef were very flavorful and moist. The salad was fresh and crunchy with a simple olive oil dressing. The lifts was a bit dry and the rice was good, not anything over the top. The star, the hummus!! It was absolutely delicious, smooth, creamy, with the freshest lemon flavor. We really enjoyed our meal and would definitely return if we are in the town of Munster again. read more

Hal is amazing. My father introduced me to her place. Best restaurant in town. She goes above 5 stars. The food is always to much for what you pay. EVERYTHING she makes is amazing. It's all whole made by her. She's a true professional. She needs to win the American classic award. 100 percent the best. read more

Everything about this restaurant was amazing. Plenty of vegan options which made me very happy. Wish I lived nearby so I could visit more often. Except for my table, everyone there frequents the restaurant often. A couple was celebrating their anniversary. read more

Once again I've been wanting to try this place based on the Yelp reviews. The restaurant the restaurant is very unassuming but the food is very good. Everything is cooked very freshly and the service it was great. We arrived at about three on a Thursday and had just missed a lunch special. I ordered the half and half I chose the steak Kabob along with the chicken shawarma. The shawarma was actually more like grilled chicken pieces, which I actually preferred. My husband had the kofka kabob which he didn't care for compared to other places. The falafel was really good. The lady chef was very accommodating and made me feel as if I were a guest in her home. Will definitely return. Oh THE BEST raspberry iced tea ever!!! read more

Food was amazing, service was shorthanded but not excessive long wait. Told on entering. Had Mish spcl for two was plenty. Enjoyed everything. read more

My wife and I came here with one of our professors who really liked this place. A couple other friends were there too, and most of us really enjoyed our meals. I love Mediterranean food, and it was really refreshing that this place had some options other than the conventional falafel and shawerma (which are obviously good). I picked a beef stroganoff that sounded tasty. It had broccoli, mushrooms, rice, beef, and a creamy sauce. Indeed, it was delicious. There wasn't a lot notable about the experience to write about, but that doesn't mean I wasn't satisfied. I probably would have given it five stars from my experience alone, but I believe my wife thought her meal was only okay, which plays a part in the rating. I would certainly come back. read more

Definitely has some pros and cons, which makes you feel like you could have either a fantastic meal here, or something less than that. It might be a bit of a coin toss. Service was friendly and attentive, and while our food took a little while to come out, it really felt like it was being made fresh. Our plates came out steaming hot. The chicken thighs plate was solid and seasoned well. Some perfect, some a little overdone. The rice and veggie sides were pretty tasteless and lackluster. Our hummus was good, but with a little too much oil. Again, some good, some bad. Prices were respectable. I'd definitely come again, maybe just not go out of my way for it. read more

Food was great! Service was the owner and she was hustling and doing her best. Would definitely come back.

Great food, home cooking. Food that is good for you, natural, not full of additives. Support your local business.

Came in for the first time. The server was all alone and apologized, but she was amazing. The food came fast and was delicious. Highly recommended. read more

I've updated my review but one can still see the original review below, and actually decided that 1-star was a bit too harsh after reading the manager's reply (she took it like a champ), but many of my points still stand which overall allowed me to bump this up a star, but no more when averaging everything. However, this updated review will be less-ranting and more recommendations. I'd hate to see this place go....given it is the only good Middle Eastern place nearby. FOOD (still totally recommend - 5 out of 5) My first update will be on the food, which I originally gave a 3 stars, but upon further thinking, them being "out of many things" isn't even a food issue, but more so a management issue, so the updated review for the food itself is a 5 out of 5, because pretty-much everything I've had at this place was out of this world, lick-your-plate clean good....again not sure if they're on Uber Eats or DoorDash, but if they are - even I, a person who gave a bad review based solely on a dining experience, still plans on ordering from this place to-go (so that shows how good I think the food is here). RECOMMENDATIONS I did see the "Help Wanted" inside, I'm not sure if one is displayed outside but perhaps there should be a "Help Wanted" sign outside. Additionally, Indeed.com and Glassdoor are some great platforms to put job listings. I used to work a restaurant kitchen myself, and when we were low on staff, we would print flyers and give them to Purdue Northwest's Hospitality Department. Hope that helps. read more

Bad service!! It's a Hole in the wall spot, I called to find out exact location a lady responded in a negative way stating "it's a thing called GPS" don't patronize this place. read more

We went there this past week (July 2023) hoping to have good meal and a reasonable service. Even though one of the employees there told us right of the bat that it would take a pretty long time to be served, which was a good honest hint, we agreed to stay. The issue began when we saw how one of the only two employees (I thinks she was the chef) treated us. The other waitress was fine and friendly but the chef (who told us about the long wait time) was not friendly and courteous enough. She pretty much brought the appetizer (the salad, which was fresh and tasty, by the way), put it on the table, and asked indifferently whether we want plates or not. No smile, no sign of empathy as we were already waiting for just the appetizer for about half an hour.What's more, after another 15 minutes she came back and asked one of use as to how he wanted his beef to be prepared. He replied but somewhat she didn't understand and instead, asked him if he has an issue with her. He replied what he preferred and turned around and she replied that she would prepare the way she thought it would be good. Later on, when she brought our dishes, she tossed our buddy's dish on the table! I understand that they were under staff but I noticed the same issue back in 2019 when my wife and I dined there for the first time, hence giving them 4/5 stars back then (looks that few other customers had noticed the same issue, too). Such an issue should be addressed already. Regardless, if you are under staff and/or deal with other challenges, it is not your customer's fault. They deserve to be treated appropriately. read more

I got a falafel and eggplant wrap it was amazing. It tasted even better the next day. Highly recommend!

They take time, so don't go in a hurry or order ahead, but the good is delicious and healthy and miles above chain restaurants. Give them a try! read more

THEY ARE AWESOME!!!!! Went on a whim and I'm so happy we did. The food is unbelievable good. the chicken and asparagus, are a combination made in heaven. they are so friendly, after eating there once my son wanted it for his birthday and boy did they deliver. read more

Very good food and pleasant service despite having only one person manning the phone, kitchen, and front. We were warned it might be slow and it was slightly but we weren't in a hurry. Hubs and I got mint teas (2/5), feta appetizer (3/5), and the combination platter (5/5). The restaurant itself is not fancy so if you're looking for a special occasion atmosphere this is not it. read more

The food is worth the wait. Ate here once, arrived at opening time. Hope they get more staff soon!

Delicious every time. Be patient and give her a break, she's often a one-woman show. The menu has all of my Mediterranean favorites.

The food is delicious! Service is quick and they always get the orders right. Ordered as part of a lunch order for teachers and also for home and have never had a complaint! read more

We are so lucky to have this establishment so close to us! Delicious Salmon and super friendly chef!

Their Chicken Kabob and gyro was Amazing after moving from the city inward happy to find them

One of our favorite places in Munster! You can always expect a great meal and the owner is so nice.

My brother is new to the Munster area and wanted to check out this restaurant for his birthday. I was not excited with his choice since I am not usually a fan of any Mediterranean type food however most of what we tried here I really enjoyed and would get again. They were out of the chicken thighs (first option) but I got the chicken and asparagus- I liked how juicy the chicken was and the creamy sauce was delicious. I was not a big fan of the rice so didn't really touch that (and rice is my favorite food, just not these particular spices it was cooked with) and the vegetables were "whatever" I also tried the beef strogganoff which was very delicious as well. I probably like the beef over my dish but both creamy sauces made the entrees great. I did not like the grape leaves at all as an appetizer but the other items (not ordered by me so unsure of the names) were delicious. We also split the cranberry salad as a table and this was very fresh and delicious. The service is definitely slower than your typical restaurant. Our server was new and had to ask the chef many questions but she came out a few times to ask how things were and also to help us know which food had gluten since we had a gluten allergy in our group. We were also the only table there for a good chunk of the time so I'm not sure how much longer it would have been if it was a "busy" time. Good news though is you can tell all the entrees are made fresh and they take the time to get to know their customers. read more

I don't know why I haven't been here in ages. This is a sweet little family owned spot. We shared a salad and lamb kebabs - excellent! The service is great and the prices quite reasonable. read more

Called ahead just to make sure that there would be a table available only to get turned away at the door despite clearly available tables. Mom was really upset over this as this was ment to be here birthday meal. Dining room allows so few in its carry out only (assuming they have carry out at this point.) Long story short dont even bother coming, food might be good but its unlikly you will be able to get any. read more

Food are great ! Only thing they closed early because she the only one serving and cooking pretty much doing everything. But she is great !!

Amazing food , chef is authentic , can't wait to go back. Small intimate and prices are fair. Loved the freshness and lots of lemon

Once again, all I can say is excellent. Had hummus, spinach and chicken salad and apple walnut and feta salad. WOW! Be patient with the service because the chef is also the waiter. Believe me, you won't be disappointed. Plus, it doesn't hurt that she has an infectious smile. read more

I'm giving this place 5 stars because you can tell the chef is putting her heart and soul into this place, especially the food. We ordered takeout and had the kibbeh, tabouleh, hummus, baba ghanouj, house salad, and mish platter. Everything was fresh and tasted amazing! She had some help, but you can tell the lady is doing the heavy lifting to keep this place afloat. Be prepared to wait a while for the food and order way ahead (at least an hour) so she has some time. Thank you for the amazing food! read more

Food is fresh and delicious!! Always a treat! Love the hummus and falafel and the pita chips. The foods I crave

Really poorly run business. the first time we tried to eat here when we walked in at 9:05 we were informed that the kitchen was already closed (despite being open until 10pm) and they would not be able to serve us. the second time I tried to order food I were told that the wait would be 35 minutes wait and then once I placed our order, I was told that the wait would be 50 minutes instead. Needless to say will not be trying a third time. read more

I ordered the cauliflower and falafel wrap and it was good. There is parking in the rear so that's convenient.

The food is Superb, Worth the 30 minute drive from Hobart!! The chef is delightful!!!
