My family get takeout for me every time I come home because their shawarma and hummus are some of the best in the US, I'm not kidding, I have been doing extensive studies. Inside it's part grocery store and then part restaurant, and I always find the best spices for sale. Everyone who works here is always really nice, and everything is so clean. One day I'll for sure eat in the actual restaurant instead of getting just takeout.

We tried their weekend buffet, Sunday 1-9, (reservation recommended), which was phenomenal. The…read morebuffet had like 10 dishes, but all were equally delicious and beyond expectations. The lambs were tender, the rices were flavorful, the pastas were scrumptious. They provided pita breads on the tables which is really nice to eat with the soup, particularly the lentil soup. Only downside is the lack of beef dishes (there was only one with okra). The dessert section was a bit limited but they were amazing. 30$ for this halal buffet may seem much, but it's totally worth it.

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.

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.

On our way home in 3 separate busses from The Field Museum in Chicago, we stopped at Chesterton, IN to get a quick dinner in 50 min or less. Quickly, we ran to Taco Bell to get my son his desired hard shell taco, and then crossed the road to Lemon Tree Mediterranean Grill for something more "adult". The staff were so nice and let me have free samples of almost everything while telling me about the owner's passion to use quality ingredients and hand made healthful and delicious salads such as tabbouleh, carrot salad and more! I opted to get a small bowl of chicken lemon and rice soup. It was very good. I had to save room for Smoothie King later. We were the only people from the 3 busses that dared to cross the road and I'm happy we did. Will come back the next time we need a snack or nosh on the way to or from Chicago. Thank you!

A Mediterranean Gem in Chesterton!…read more My husband and I stopped into Lemon Tree Mediterranean and were absolutely blown away. We both had bowls with half chicken shawarma and half steak--each bite was bursting with flavor. The jasmine rice base was warm and fluffy, and we loaded up on all the fresh toppings: crisp cucumbers, juicy tomatoes, kalamata olives, feta, red onion--you name it. The real standouts? Their garlicky garlic sauce and spicy yogurt. SO good! It reminded me of a Mediterranean version of Chipotle, but way fresher and more flavorful. You get to build your own bowl, wrap, or salad, and they have amazing sides like grilled veggies, hummus, tabouleh, and even lentil or lemon chicken soup. The owners, David and Lisa, were so welcoming and kind--they really make you feel at home. We ate out on the beautiful patio and soaked up the relaxed atmosphere. You can tell everything is made with love and high-quality ingredients. Highly recommend this place if you're anywhere near Chesterton. It's fresh, fast, and full of flavor--what more could you ask for?

Tucked away in a small shopping center, it's a cozy little spot with beautiful Moroccan lights that add to the atmosphere. The staff was patient, kind and friendly, which made the experience even better. We ordered family style so we could sample a bit of everything. Here's what we tried: * Vegetarian Combo: 5/5 stars- Ezme, hummus, falafel, and eggplant dip all on one plate. A perfect starter and a great way to taste a little bit of everything. *Mix Grill: 5/5 stars- chicken kebab, beef kebab, Adana kebab, chicken kofte, beef kofte and doner kebab. This was a hit at the table- every single piece was flavorful, juicy, and absolutely delicious. *Turkish Iskender: 2/5 stars- this one wasn't for me. This dish is made with a bread base topped with tomato base and shredded lamb and beef. The flavor was unique, but the texture just didn't work for me. I don't think I would order it again as it felt very soggy. *Ali Nazik: 3/5 stars- smoked grilled meat over a bed of creamy garlic, yogurt and eggplant. The meat was wonderful, but the yogurt and eggplant mix felt a little off chunky and bland like cottage cheese and needed a stronger punch of flavor. *Manti: 5/5 stars- tortellini stuffed with ground beef served in a creamy yogurt with chilly oil. unlike other places where the dumplings are huge and heavy these were small bite size and perfectly balance easily one of my favorites of the night. Overall, I definitely come back. The menu is extensive and there are still so many dishes I want to try. I can't wait for my next visit.

It came with a sauce, but I cannot comment on that because none of us tried it. The wings by themselves are delicious! My friends both ordered the lamb chops, and I ordered the Al Bawadi mixed grill with hummus and bread. Everything was good, and the portions are generous. The meat was tender, juicy, and seasoned well. We all enjoyed our meals. We plan on coming back in the Fall to celebrate another birthday. This is definitely a neighborhood staple and will come back with family.
