A solid effort. Quick-serve Mediterranean food and pretty decent at that. Far better than it's competitor around the corner (Roti).

Nesh has got the art of falafel down. The shrock takes it over the top. Absolutely love this place. The customer service is great. They put their hearts into it. read more

Tried the new Nesh Restaurant that opened. Not so good. I usually get the shawarma wraps and it was a joke as to how little meat they give. not many extras to choose from and the meat was dry. I had to spice it up with some sauce. I guess I will stick to Meza or I dream of Falafel. read more

The only place that has falafel that tastes like the one you'd get in the middle east ;) they're delicious!!

I ordered a salad with chicken as my protein, they gave me 4 pieces of chicken. I had to cut the chicken into the smallest pieces to portion it for my salad. The amount of lettuce to the fillers they add is ridiculous. By my 4th bite, I was basically eating cabbage and tomato's. When I actually had a bite with chicken, it was good. The chicken had really good flavor. The dressing was good, but with the cold hard pita I received, I will gladly go to Roti or GK next time. read more

Ordered the chicken schwarma plate. With chicken schwarma, rice, cucumber salad, hummus and red cabbage salad. The price was reasonable but everything on the plate was over salted in my opinion and unfortunately very disappointing. The high sodium level actually masked the natural flavors of the raw vegetables and ruined the rice. Even the hummus was too slaty. The only refreshing part of my meal was the 3 large glasses of water I downed to dilute the salty flavors. I've eaten at Naya in NYC and Nesh's owners should visit Naya and see how this plate's ingredients should be prepared and served. If I wasn't busy at work I would have walked back and demanded my money back and return the 1/3 eaten plate. read more

Currently my favorite middle eastern spot in the loop! They have great shawarma and falafel, the veggie kabob was awesome too. I like their soup a lot and both hummous and baba are quality. The upcharge to have hummous added if you choose to get the salad is annoying but whatever. I also really love the Schrock bread they make, definitely a bonus with your sandwich. They do a nice job and I frequent this spot often. Check it out. read more

It's been one of my favorite lunch places in the Loop for quite some time. Highly recommend.

While I'm an avid yelp reader, I don't write many reviews... but I'm "shrocked" by the reviews below! When you're looking for a quick bite, Nesh is the best Mediterranean, hands down. My friends and I are always on the hunt for new lunch spots in the Loop and we were very impressed with Nesh. I've been a handful of times now and have brought coworkers as well. My favs are the falafel and steak shrock. The falafel is moist and flavorful, and the seasoning for their steak is delicious... it's obvious their meat is higher quality than some of the other Mediterranean options in the Loop (I'm looking at you Roti). Plus it's family owned - which is always a plus in my book.. especially when it's this good! read more

Food is average. I got a wrap and it was cold and fillings were room temp at best so it wasn't great. The worst part is the service. The girl at the register could not have had a worse look on her face and absolutely zero customer service, clearly very bothered to be there. Plenty of other good Mediterranean places in the loop. Taza remains my favorite and they're always super nice and friendly. read more

Great Mediterranean food is hard to find downtown. I'm glad I found this gem as it is a healthy lunch alternative for me. The lentil soup, hummus & falafel with veggies and fresh pita bread were delicious! read more

I visited this place while I was on business in Chicago. It was the worst thing that has ever happened to me. My food was so dry that I could barely swallow it without chocking and gagging and the portions were also extremely small. read more

Went here for lunch, had the falafel shrock. The falafel was really good and we were given a free sample while in line. Toppings were also good in the sandwich assembly line. The shrocks are pretty big and I was a bit slow back at work, but it was worth it. Will definitely come back and I liked this place a lot more than Roti. read more

Really good and fresh mediterranean food here. I've only tried the Schrock burrito thing and it's fantastic! The ingredients taste uber fresh too! My only complaint is the rude rocker chic girl at the end of the line. So nasty; so rude. read more

Definitely my new lunch spot! It is set up like chipotle, so you make the sandwich, plate, or salad the way you want it. I've had the steak shrock and the chicken kabob and they were both very good. The staff was really nice...while I was waiting in line they offered me a lentil soup sample which was tasty. I'm def ordering that on my next visit. I would recommend trying this place out. read more

I love eating at Nesh! As a college student, I'm not trying to go into pricy restaurants downtown for my lunch break and I get tired of having McDonald's, Subway, and Chinese food. I could get that anywhere! I have to say MY FAVORITE IS THE CHICKEN SHAWARMA! I definitely recommend it. They really do live up to their slogan "We make it fresh". They care about giving the customers a great experience. Definitely a go-to spot in the downtown area. =) read more

I'm a big fan of Mediterranean food having grown up in a Lebanese household. I think Nesh is one of the best fast food Mediterranean places in downtown Chicago (was really bummed then they closed their Lincoln Park location). Despite the sudden proliferation of Middle Eastern places downtown, Nesh is one of only two places I'd consider going if I'm in the mood for shwarma or falafel. The shrock is great (much better than plain pita pockets) and the salad format is very good also if you're trying to stay healthy. Really wish they posted the nutritional info online like their competitors. read more

This is a Roti copy cat. It's literally the same restaurant. It was good, but not as good as Roti.

Good food, really friendly service, line moves fast. Great lunch spot in the loop!

Predictable Mediterranean fare. It was not bad food, it just lacked flavor. They do make a decent pita though. It's worth a try if you are a fan of this kind of food. Many people love this place so it varies person to person. read more

Thank you google and yelp for helping me find this great place. Great service and they spoil you with Falafel and lentil soup samples. *which were DELISH". I had the Shawerma Chicken Salad (i hope i spelled it right), so tasty. I will definitely come back with my friends. Great first time experience. read more

Nesh is hands down my favorite lunch spot in the loop. My go to is the chicken kabob salad; grilled chicken is fresh and flavorful and the side items offer a nice variety. I highly recommend the baba ganoush and hummus as well. Their lentil soup rivals any in the city and is perfect for a cold Chicago day. The "Shrock" sandwich is similar to a Mediterranean wrap/ burrito. The wrap itself has a nice, chewey texture and the meat/ veggie choices provide a wide variety of options. The food is excellent at Nesh but the hospitality of the staff sets it apart from the crowd. You can be assured to be greeted with a smile and friendly conversation from Will when you walk in and the rest of the staff is eager to accommodate. read more

There are so many fast options right now when it comes to Mediterranean food in the loop, but Nesh definitely does it right. They have the best baba ghanoush and chicken kabob out of all of them - it's fantastic. Unlike some other restaurants in the loop, the chicken kabobs at Nesh are super moist and well seasoned. And the portions are HUGE - definitely worth the $8 for a salad/plate. Excellent fast/casual food and even better service, everyone was very friendly. Will definitely be back!! read more

Oh Boy! I'm Hooked! First time in the place was great and continues to keep me coming for more. Fresh chicken every time I came for lunch...I am a Shrockaholic! Only one suggestion please dice the olives for my Shrock...That is all. read more

Not only does Nesh have some of the best middle eastern food in Chicago, but the BEST people work there. I eat at Nesh a few times a week and every time I come in the staff remembers me and chats it up with me. It feels like visiting with friends! And today, I tried to pay for my meal, but my debit card was declined because of the stupid Target hack, and they graciously gave my food to me on the house. That kind of customer service paired with the best falafel in the city (trust, I've traveled in the middle east and this is as close as you are going to get in the midwest) will keep me coming back. I love Nesh!!! read more

Lunch can get crazy, and it is fabulous to have a healthy option near the office. I discovered Nesh! two weeks ago and have been there about 4 times since that day. I like the chicken shawarma salad with salat, humus, chickpeas, pickles, onions, and cabbage. The flavors and textures go well together and the portion is generous. Enough for me not to have to snack the rest of the day. It has a great variety and I have had friends rave about the pita chips and hummus! I was given a falafel to sample, and that too was made well (and gluten free!) The team is very nice and friendly and there is a lot of space to sit in the restaurant. Great for a loop lunch spot! read more

Being Turkish I am very particular about my "Mediterranean food" so I can honestly say this place is great!! I've been to a few very good Mediterranean spots in the loop, however, the reason why I keep going back to Nesh is the customer service and the friendly people that work there, especially Will!! He is great, ALWAYS has a smile on his face, doesn't look stressed even during the busiest times and is always giving samples for customers to try. I hope he is one of the managers because he is just great. The food is awesome too, I am obsessed with their Chicken shawarma pita with couscous, hummus, chick peas and yogurt sauce! The prices are pretty decent too. The only thing I wish they had was black Kalamata olives! Great lunch spot!! read more

Excellent food and service! Was able to get a good meal and quick time. Food tastes fresh and lots of great options. I will def be coming back! read more

When looking for lunch I am looking for healthy food, that tastes good, is reasonably priced, and offers substantial portions. Nesh has all four of these qualities! It is part of my regular lunch rotation. When I don't bring food from home its often because I am jonzing for a Nesh salad. It helps that their staff is friendly and wont hesitate to chat you up. I always look forward to a brief hello and a complementary falafel while I wait in line. Good stuff, definitely worth a try even if Mediterranean is not usually your thing. read more

Very rude lady at cashier. If you hate your job don't work there. Good food. But super rude customer service. Won't come back.

Do I really want to be charged extra for a few sliced pickles? Not really, especially when the food is nothing special and the portion size is a bit on the stingy side for the prices charged. Oh, BTW, there's Benjyehuda, Roti, and Mezza within easy walking distance of Nesh. Nesh? Not! No more. read more

Chipotle style Mediterranean with pretty yummy components. I got the chicken gyro roti wrap and it tasted pretty fresh for about $7. But the platters hit the double digit mark ($10) and probably isn't worth the additional spend. It's a dark spot under a train line so not the best place to hang out, but they have a TV to keep you entertained while you're shoveling food in your face before having to run back to work. read more

Fairly standard downtown fast food, Nesh breaks from the pack by serving mediterranean-influenced fare at a reasonable price. While painting all food in the region with a wide brush (ie Moroccan and Greek influences fused into the same burrito-esque wrap). The Chipotle-style counter where one loads up on condiments and accoutrements is a familiar modus operandi. Nesh can't lead you astray when looking for a quick bite of something different. read more

Nesh is very close to my office and has definitely made it into the rotation. The salads are fine, and the falafel is fairly good.

The only thing I've had here is the salad with Veggies but I've had it often. This place is a "healthy" alternative to other loop lunch places when I get tired of regular salads. Their Veggies are served hot and you can always get double the veggies. They have regular and a more spicey hummus version. Both are fantastic! The food is good, not great. But the service is phenomenal. Fast, efficient, and friendly! read more

They have great falafel but the tahini sauce was a tad runny. If they made it thicker it would have been delicious. But overall the place was pretty good. I'd go back sometime read more

I must say that Nesh is pretty good, I've gotten the schrock with falafel and all the fixens to go with. I especially love the spicy hummus it pairs well with the falafel to give a kick. It's a great go to for a quick and good lunch and very convenient. Good music is played in there too. read more

Go and eat someplace else! The only thing that is mediterranean about this place is the hommus that probably comes out of a container! There's no taste or flavor to anything! I usually don't walk in to a place like that, I guess must have been 'lucky' time to try such tasteless food! There are much better choices and places to try if you want to try the mediterranean food! I believe you might be happier having a sandwich at a chain store! read more

This place legitimately made me soil myself the night I ate it. Decent hummus though. 3 stars.

Had the salamon kebobs with their yellow rice and it was one of the best loop lunches I've ever had!
