The Schawafel Schrock
Steve A.

Finally got to check out this place in the Loop. It seemed like it was always closed, but they've been open more often recently. Nesh has a lot of counter service Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food such as falafel and shawarma. Make an order and get it fast. The prices aren't that cheap, but not that bad for around here for the most part. Came at lunch to get some falafel. It's a pretty limited time you can come here. This place is only open weekdays. One of those places that's order at the counter. Seems pretty casual, but the food is better than that. It's about $11 for a typical wrap or something. The signature item is the Shawafel Shrock, which is a big wrap. Has a lot in it. There's falafel, and they typically put steak. If wanting to get it vegetarian, they put in more falafel. There's typical toppings like Jerusalem salad, onions, and pickles. Also whatever else to put on it. They also have loaded fries with Mediterranean types of stuff. Good place to come in at lunch for a casual bite. It's pretty easy to make an order, and it's usually fast getting it. There's meaty items like steak, and vegetarians can get falafel and whatever other toppings.

Nesh Golden Rice, Kofta, Steak, Chicken, 3-Piece Falafel

Nesh is under new ownership--and it shows. I've been coming here for a long time, and while the food was always decent, things have really stepped up lately. The flavors are better, everything feels fresher, and the place just runs more smoothly overall. I've been trying to eat a little healthier, and their steak shawarma salad has become a regular order for me. The meat is tender and seasoned just right, and the portion size is honestly huge for what you pay. It's one of those meals that feels satisfying without being heavy. The baba ghanoush is another favorite--smoky, creamy, and really well-balanced. What I've appreciated most is how open the new team is to feedback. They actually ask for it, and the best part is, they do something with it. I've noticed small changes over time that directly reflect conversations I've had with them, which makes it feel like they're really paying attention. It's still a fast-casual spot, but it feels more intentional now. The staff are helpful, the ambiance is chill, and it's just a solid place to grab a flavorful, filling meal. They also offer catering and run occasional promos through apps like ChowNow and Uber Eats if you're ordering in. Definitely worth checking out if you haven't been in a while.

Mixed Shawarma plate

The food is fantastic. It's under new ownership and every time I go, I try a new dish. Any choice is a great choice!!

Selection of salad, meat and chicken shawarma and grilled vegetables

I have been going to this place for years before pandemics. I always loved the food and I think they have one of the best falafel in the Chicago area. Last week we had a big event and we catered food from them for more than 60 people. We all loved the food. The quality of the meat was fantastic. Also, the vegetarian section was fantastic. Baba Ganoush was a very popular dish.

Decided to stop by here for Friday lunch. Was there pretty early during the lunch hour therefore was able to order right away. Ordered a chicken shawarma in a pita pocket & an order of regular fries. The chicken shawarma with chicken tomato and cucumbers (aka Jerusalem salad) and hummus with sauces was very tasty and the pita was soft and fluffy. It was fun to see the fillings falling out so I was able to eat the fillings separately. Fries were made to order and they were good as well. Very generous portion and I wasn't able to eat them all! Overall I did enjoy lunch and glad to find a new lunch spot in downtown Chicago.

Chicken Kebob Plate(Salad)
Avanti A.

At any given time Mediterranean would be my one of my top most options for food. I love the flavor it. I moved to downtown for work recently and it is my husband who actually introduced this place to me. It is the closest (Working on Adams). Their menu isn't as that big but it's not a disappointment either, got handful options there. Ordering your food isn't tricky either, you walk in and if you are lucky(Weekday lunch hours are quiet busy) you just pick what you want you pay and outta there. I went with a chicken kebob plate(With Salad). I tried with rice and I prefer salad one. For a downtown restaurant the price you pay vs the amount and quality of food I would give a 5 star. It isn't that expensive, you would get decent amount of food for $10. You can pick as many side ons you want and you won't be charged extra(That works for me ) It's was spot if you are working nearby, parking is difficult though(Better Not to think about that option). I like their Pita too, m not saying it's fabulous but it's decent compared to lot other Mediterranean places. Their Mint lemonade is refreshing, worth trying. If I am in a rush and needed to grab something good and quick for my lunch..this is my place.

Could not have nicer things to say about working with My Chef and Jamie Walsh for our wedding day…read morecatering. We met Jamie at our venue's vendor expo and were immediately impressed by their services, pricing, and vast food offerings. It was a no brainer to book with their group! We had our tasting a couple months before our wedding day; which is complimentary to the couple and a $50 charge for any additional guest to join. They have you select 8-10 appetizers, 2 salads, and 4 entrees to taste at their Naperville location. They also have displays of china, silverware, glasses and more to help couples select what aligns aesthetically for their special day. Jamie worked with us to make small modifications to their standard offerings to make the food exactly what we wanted! Our wedding day came and we were floored by the quality/presentation of food, level of detail in place settings, and service from all staff members. We had multiple guests say that this was some of the best wedding food they've had, steaks were not over cooked, and food tasted fresh. Jamie also let us add desserts a week out to reallocate money from a couple of guests who last minute were unable to attend. Their team was even nice enough to service items not purchased through their group: disposables for the late night snack, display and refilling of cupcakes, etc. Overall, their group went above and beyond for us under Jamie's leadership. Our tables looked great, our food was wonderful, and their team was fabulous. We truly appreciate all they've done for us and could not recommend them more! Appetizers Selected: Mac & Cheese Bites, Bacon Wrapped Dates w Honey Citrus Sauce, Cocktail Meatballs, Bruschetta Bar Salad Selected: Mixed Field Greens w Pears, Goat Cheese, Pear Infused Vinaigrette. *Alts: Candied Walnuts & Second Balsamic Dressing to offer Dinner Selections: 1. Filet w Red Wine Demi Sauce, Garlic Mashed Potatoes, & Asparagus 2. Garlic & Herb Cheese Stuffed Chicken, Vodka Sauce w Bowtie Noodles, & Grilled Veggies 3.

Alyson listened to all of our questions and concerns with guests' potential needs. One of our guests has severe allergies and Hearty Boys was well aware, ensuring our guest was well take care of, providing a delicious meal and not missing out! The food was delicious and we received raved reviews from our guests! A huge priority for us was that the food was hot. We all know that wedding food could either be cold and/or not flavorful, but that was not the case here. The presentation was also wonderful! Luckily, Hearty Boys has worked in our venue (Artifact Events) countless times and they were a well oiled machine. Even the venue walk through with Alyson blew me away; every detail was discussed, even the drinks for the VIPs and she made sure the bridal party and parents' needs were addressed weeks before the wedding. On the day of, everything was orchestrated perfectly. As the bride and groom, we also had our own server (Scott) and he was incredible! The staff was attentive to all of my guests' needs and it was great to see everyone so happy with all details. My friends even commented about how professional the food delivery was to every table. You should absolutely book Hearty Boys for your event. They know what they are doing and you will be happy with their service!

I've traveled a time or two to a couple of spots in Chicago to support; only to be welcomed to a closed sign. So, Cleo's THANK YOU for blessing me with your service and love for food. It made my birthday, day trip that much better. Now, where do I start. Well, I called to make sure that they were open. I wanted to place my order via phone, but was instructed to place it via their website. The website was easy to navigate and updated. The time given for pickup was pretty much exact. I may even say that it was ready 5-10 minutes before. Parking can be a bit of a challenge. However, depending on when you go, there's a small lot across the street where you can park. Also, you can dine inside, however, depending on how busy, you may or may not have a spot. I lucked up and was able to dine in. Which made my experience better because I was able to take my food out, examine and get comfortable. All food is made to order. That is a huge plus!!!! Food was packaged right and sealed tight. I tried the Float & Fly which consisted of 3 pcs of catfish fillets and 3 fried chicken wings. I tried the green beans, Mac n cheese and pineapple candied sweet potatoes and pineapple cheesecake for a treat. Oh, let me not forget the Purple Rain drink. The catfish & wings were well seasoned and fried to perfection. If I had to choose between the two, wings for the WIN!!! The greens beans had a bit of a kick to them. So much that I followed up with some Mac and sweet potatoes. Ha! The Mac was cheesy and kinda creamy. Great texture. The sweet potatoes were different with the pineapples. The pineapples gave a little twist, but still delivering your childhood memory of sweet potatoes that grandma used to make. Desserts are limited; cheesecake or brownie. The cheesecake was my least favorite thing. I either want peach cobbler or cheesecake; not them being married. Ha! I was happy and pleased with how clean the inside was and how organized it was as well. I like an open kitchen concept. I'll definitely be returning when in Chicago. My advice is to place your order online. Keith Lee approved and so do I!

With all the hype about their food, I'm sorry but I was severely disappointed in this place. I…read moreplaced an order for the catfish dinner, Mac and cheese with crab meet, and chicken wings. The order came to over $65 with tip. Impression: Three chicken wings only for $8. The size of the wings was good. Real meaty but came off as baked versus fried. No crunch to them and didn't taste any spices. Also, had to pick off some feather stems. Catfish dinner came with four pieces, cornbread muffin and green beans as sides. The muffin was soft and moist. However, layering a bunch of butter on top and calling is 24K muffin is a great marketing ploy. Reminded me of a cupcake. The green beans were ok. The catfish again had no crunch. They were also on the thin side. Could mistake it as tilapia if not for the taste. Mac and cheese with crap meat was star. For $20 you get a good size bowl. Real cheesy and noodle were done right. You also get a generous portion of crab meat onto top. Overall, I might a one and done customer.

Ordering Process: I got the mini sandwiches and the fruit and cheese tray. Ordering was super easy and stress-free.

Quality: I ordered the mini-sandwiches - chicken salad, turkey gouda, and veggie caprese. Each was so delicious. The cheese and fruit tray were beautifully presented and had plenty of variety. High-quality fruit, cheese, and crackers. Our guests loved the food! Presentation: Each tray was BEAUTIFULLY presented!
