    such an affordable dining option in Hyde Park!!!! The portions are giNORmous and the food comes out so hot and fast. I'm always so excited when the Nile caters events on campus because you already know it's gonna hit but you guys should check out the actual restaurant too. It's bright and the conversation fills up the room to the high ceilings. I always share the Mezze, an appetizer sampler, and any of the meat dishes are so juicy and yummy tbh. Truly a Hyde Park gem!

    Hummus And The Falafel Sandwich
    Steve A.

    Among the best Mediterranean food around is located on 57th in Hyde Park in this awesome establishment. It always has had great service and food. Nile is a longtime favorite among locals and students. Maybe prices are kind of high on some things, but for around here they aren't bad. There's lots of healthy food for meat eaters and vegetarians alike and most people here should be happy. Got here recently and had lunch. It wasn't too busy in spite of it being in the middle of the week and UC students all around the place. The service was pretty fast too. I wanted to get a lot more but of course, budget. We had the Hummus. It's $5 for the appetizer. This is creamy and garnished with paprika. Good stuff and even though the portion wasn't large we got satisfied anyway. I had the Falafel Sandwich. This is $7.50 and is a pretty good size. Has many good things to choose from. It has quite a few meaty entrees but there's plenty that are not. This has some great things for vegans and vegetarians.

    Chicken Shawerma, Lebanese salad, hummos and pita
    Maricel J.

    My team and I ordered lunch from here. I ordered the chicken shawerma. I chose to have rice instead of potatoes. It comes with soup or salad and I chose the Lebanese salad. I also ordered the hummos. The salad was ok, the hummos was delicious, and the chicken shawerma was tender and tasty. The veggies that came with it were a little overcooked for my taste, but they were seasoned well and went well with the rice chicken.

    Chicken Shawarma.

    I love the food here especially the Shish Taouk Chicken. The portion to price ratio is great- it's essentially two meals.

    Anyone know what sauce they give with the falafel appetizer?

    Pretty sure it's tahini, not yogurt sauce.

We had hot juicy chicken and beef kabobs and crispy moist falafel, fresh bright salad, radishes, and tomatoes, fine flavorful parsley tabouli salad, soft piping-hot fries and crispy fresh-grilled flat bread, and a variety of hot or creamy sauces. Perfectly delicious!

Our food came out lightning fast, and they were so nice to let us sit there until closing. Big portions - we got falafels, the beef shawarma plate, and the shrimp shawarma plate. It was SUCH a generous portion of beef shawarma, vs you only get six pieces of shrimp. Every dish comes with salad with tahini dressing (literal tahini watered down with nothing else), the protein you choose, a skewer of veggies, and rice. Make sure you don't forget to add tahini and any other sauces!! FYI - The tahini is not salted so it's really just a more runny version of tahini. Normally I think falafels are a little dry for me, but my friend hyped these up so I had to go for it. This ended up being the MOST moist falafel I've ever had in my entire life - so crispy, so moist inside. Delicious!! Comes with a tiny dollop of humus too!

Becoming immersed with wrap around aquariums and what not makes for an invigorating evening, plus steaks. You can upload pics and they will share in celebrating your occasion on the walls, which is cool. Happy greeters and servers. I have not tried the prime cuts of meat yet. I did try other items, however. Their nihari was legit. Their butter chicken was also very good, no sweetness thank goodness. Whenever I order chicken boti, I expect like 7 overly colored pieces with no seasoning. Their botis are large, many, marinated, and enough to feed 4 people. Biryani was pretty good and generous in quantity. Note, you will find "khade masale" (pieces of cinnamon stick, cardamom, whole cloves, etc) in it. Their fries, though listed as zaatar fries, were truffle fries, and daggone delicious. Knowing that frontier chicken is pretty bell-peppery, I ordered it anyway. It was raw bell peppery and just ok. Oh, the soup that is brought to you basically tastes like Campbell's vegetable soup with black pepper, I feel it isn't necessary. I liked the spice level, bravo for not taming the entrees. My summer solcai lemonade was just lemonade. The sunset blush and golden haze mocktails were yummy. For dessert, I loved my badam kheer. The rose petal garnish and almonds made it shine. Gulab jamun was hot and delicious. You get 3 fyi. The banana pudding cake slice is ginormous and if you like that flavor, you'll like the cake. You pay at the cashier. We were seen off very nicely. Hey man, if your eyeballs need stimulation, The Halal Steakhouse, brings an immersive ambiance to you, along with well presented food. You should try it at least once. I'm trying it twice.

    Aba Restaurant review -- Fulton Market, Chicago…read more This was my husband and I first time visiting Aba Restaurant, and we left impressed on every count. From the moment we arrived, the service stood out. We had an 8 PM reservation, but since we were in the area early, Chris B. kindly accommodated us for an earlier seating. We settled on the rooftop deck, which set the mood with a vibrant, buzzy vibe. The service was outstanding throughout. Our waiter greeted us promptly, with a trainee at the table. (My apologies for forgetting their names). Both were exceptionally pleasant. The trainee did a superb job walking us through the menu, explaining the concept of ordering. We decided on a variety of dishes, and Aba delivered: - Wild Mushroom Hummus: A smooth earthy dish with roasted mushrooms folded into a creamy hummus, finished with truffle oil and herbs. Yummy! - Tuna & Watermelon: A refreshing pairing of tender tuna balanced with juicy watermelon, cucumber, pomergrant seeds and mint. Loved it! - Green Chili Shrimp: Served in a metal dish used for escargo. The shrimp were covered by breadcrumbs and lots of butter with a slight kick to it. Great for dipping your bread in. It did not disappoint! - Pan Seared Halibut: A perfectly seared, delicate fillet, moist and flaky that highlighted the fish's clean, buttery profile. And from the cocktail menu, the Aloe? It's Me. It has a kick to it. Loved it too. Everything was excellent--the food was inventive and delicious, the service was great and the rooftop ambiance added a memorable layer to the evening. Highly recommended for a refined yet relaxed Chicago dining experience.

The plates are shareable so this is great because you can share a few dishes! I tried the smoked garlic hummus (comes with pita bread), short rib Shakshouka, crispy potatoes, and the beef and lamb kofta! This was for two people and we had left overs. The hummus was fantastic! I highly recommend getting the crispy potatoes as well! I have never tried shakshouka with meat in it before and didn't love the texture. However, the flavor was sweet and savory! The only thing that was not ideal was that an optional surcharge was on the receipt, when we tried to get our server to help remove it per instructions on the receipt no one was to be found. That was disappointing and potentially strategic? I would have rather just tipped. I'm not sure how others feel about the surcharge?
