Basically known as butt fuel. Keep a distance until it passes. It's about $7 for a sandwich, such as falafel. This comes with cabbage, cucumbers, and tahini. Find this next time the dining area.

Habibi Shawarma is a total hidden gem tucked inside Naperville Fresh Market -- and wow, it…read moredelivers! The chicken shawarma is so flavorful and juicy, wrapped in the softest pita. The falafel is crispy, fresh, and full of flavor -- not dry like you get at some places. And the beef pita sandwich is so juicy and tender and smoky! All sandwiches come with hummus, pickled onions, jalapeños, salad, and LOTS of garlic sauce and hot sauce! SOOOOO satisfying! It's a casual setup with a few tables, but super clean and perfect for a quick, delicious bite. The staff is friendly, the portions are generous, and the food comes out fast. Whether you want a pita, bowl, or salad - this is your place to be! If you're shopping or just in the area, do yourself a favor and stop here. It's fast, fresh, and full of flavor -- I'm already planning my next visit!

Just happened to be in the area and decided to try this place since we had never been before…read more Walked into a delicious aroma, and knew right away we had made the right choice. I chose the Chicken Koobideh which was so juicy, I was shocked! I've had good Koobideh, but never this juicy and tender! Strong flavor, and hint of saffron, a true delight. I also ordered the Ghormeh Sabji - which is a soya (dill) based green stew with meat and beans, and when it first comes to the table, you're thinking this looks and smells like henna paste, but the taste is so beautifully complex - savory, bitter, buttery, and pure deliciousness in every bite!!!!! A must try for something different. Husband ordered the lamb shank, and it was tender and fall off the bone! The meat was soft and unctuous. It was served with this roasted garlic bulb that was roasted to perfection, taking the harshness of the garlic away and replacing it with a soft, buttery, jammy garlicky goodness that is to DIE for!!!! Lastly, my mom got the lamb and beef Koobideh and said it was soft and juicy as well. After food, we had their tea and it is absolute perfection. I take mine sweetened, but even unsweetened my mother found it perfect! Lastly, don't sleep on the DOOGH! That's that fermented yogurt drink that is tart, salty, and super refreshing! I almost didn't even wanna tell yall about it, but I reminded myself that gatekeeping is a cardinal sin! And finally, the ambiance and the service is AMAZING. So gracious, so soft spoken, so generous and just kind to boot. The food is delicious but I'd come back just to see these smiling faces!!!

3 Chefs Persian Cuisine was a pretty mixed experience for us…read more The restaurant itself is more fast-casual than traditional sit-down Persian dining; think somewhere between a Panera and Chipotle in terms of setup and atmosphere. It was clean enough and perfectly fine for a casual meal, but definitely not somewhere I'd go expecting an upscale experience. We ordered the koobideh and shish combo with basmati rice. The meat was decent overall, though not especially tender. The koobideh leaned a little dry, while the shish had better flavor, but neither really stood out compared with some of the better Persian food I've had. The rice was another weak point for me; it wasn't quite as light and fluffy as I like, didn't seem buttered, and definitely could've used more salt. Our food also took about 30 minutes to come out. There was a large group of roughly 10 people ahead of us, so I'm sure that contributed, but it was still a pretty long wait for what feels like a fast-casual concept. Service was another middle-of-the-road part of the experience. The woman at the counter wasn't rude, but she wasn't particularly warm or welcoming either. I was also a little confused by the menu advertising that they can make essentially any Persian dish. I asked about ghormeh sabzi and was told they didn't have it that day, then asked about dill rice after seeing photos of it online and was told they only had white basmati available. One other thing worth noting: our receipt included a 5% transaction service fee, which added a few extra dollars to the bill. Overall, there were no deal-breakers, but there also wasn't much that really wowed me. The food was decent, portions were fair, and I'd come back if I happened to be in the area and was craving Persian food. But as a destination? There are definitely stronger options. Solid 3/5 for me. Not bad, just not particularly memorable.

So good! Had the combo kabob! Both steak and chicken were great. Love the garlic sauceread more

It has a lot of choices that are meaty and these even include salads. Also kind of a hectic atmosphere. There's not a whole lot of room inside for tables. Basic looking place in a strip mall with other places to eat. It's somewhere after going past it enough times I got a craving for a falafel wrap so finally we came in. They got a much more limited menu that really made us struggle to choose something. A few okay things to get. There's a counter to order that and they bring it out. It's about $7 to get the dolmanthes. These are the classic stuffed grape leaves. It's about $8 to get hummus. This is pretty much the extent of the vegetarian options. Someone forgot to put falafel on the menu. They have plenty of chicken though. Crappy. The lunch was okay but it seemed not that fresh to be honest. Fairly okay food if liking gyros and kabobs because that's mostly all they actually got. It's one of the few restaurants of this cuisine to not have any falafel on the menu which is crazy stuff. There's a few items for vegetarians but these are sides or whatever.

Having only had Uzbekistan food one other time, I was not expecting Shahirizada to blow my first…read moreexperience out of the water, but it did. The food here was excellent, both in flavor and value. I'm already planning on going back for more. Bread $4 - Good flavor bread, light golden crust and chewy in the middle. Turkish Style Liver $12 - Lightly breaded, crispy on the outside, well done. Fried Manti with beef $13 - This was like a giant gyoza. My friend loved it, but I would pass on it next time. Wedding Plov $14.50 - Very tasty and keeps you going back for more. Kavurma Lagman $16 - Noodle dish like I've never had before, would order again. Honey Cake $8 - Not only adorable, but a delicious layered cake that is not too sweet. .|\---/| | @_@ | ..\_^_/..2026

We were looking for something more unique for dinner and came across Shahirizada…read more We started with a half order of bread and two samsas. The bread was a good starter and came with a light tomato sauce. The samsas were also a good starter...warm and flaky. The pumpkin one was my favorite! For our main meal, we shared the wedding plov and a lamb and lulya kabob. The wedding plov came in a portion that can easily be shared between 2-3 people. The dish itself is pretty simple but I enjoyed it! The lamb kabob was a bit overcooked (still good though) and the lulya kabob was so tender and perfect. The food was good and fit exactly what we were craving. The service was also good but a bit slow at times. It's hard to believe all this food came out to less than $50.
