The portions are plentiful and the food has been delicious each time we've visited. Our server Helen was very attentive even though it was very busy when we visited. We also enjoyed the ambience and decor and the tv was set to Moroccan scenery. The music also added to the experience.

Hands down, this is the best food in the court!…read more At this point I try to come here every time I'm at Woodfield. My favorite is the Steak Shawarma, with the spicy green sauce. Definitely a must to get the fries with all the seasoning. The best part of the shawarma is that there's no need to pick your toppings and feel like there's too many options. It's already set for you and they make it fresh. The only small negative is that last time i was here, one of the people working was a little hard to understand. I wasn't annoyed or anything, it just took a little while to get the order down. Definitely not a dealbreaker and well worth the added time! Don't take my word for it, try it now!

I wanted Falafill to be better than it was…read more.. As a Mediterranean food enthusiast. I was very excited to see this as an option in the woodfield mall. The line was pretty long which gave me an indication that it was popular/good. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. I ordered their Falafel bowl, with rice and a bunch of their available options. You are allowed to select 4 and then every topping after that is $1 per topping. This seems a bit extreme as they are NOT generous when adding your selected ingredients. I was expecting a much larger portion, but understand they are a business and have to manage their margins. The food itself was fine. The falafel were just ok, and had been sitting in a container, lacking the crispiness and freshness I am used to normally. For the extra options, everything tasted fine, I just felt skimped on the portions I was given. The highlight for me was the hot sauce that they offer. It was extremely flavorful and had a nice level of heat. I would buy that by the bottle if It was available. I think Falafill is worth a try, but you just have to manage your expectations. They do not come close to the traditional mediterranean restaurants I am used to visiting, but for mall food it's pretty good.

I ordered their Avocado Bacon Skillet. The presentation was simple, but the flavor was outstanding…read more I liked that they added chopped jalapeños, which gave the skillet a nice kick. It wasn't quite spicy enough for my taste, though, so I asked the server for some Cholula sauce to turn up the heat. Overall, this is a solid breakfast dish that I'd happily order again.

Had to have an Easter breakfast! Hubby may be outta town, but this boy loves at least one breakfast…read moreat a restaurant on a weekend! So I headed to the Egg Basket because- well - why not? Ok, I was the first customer for the day (Yes, I wake up early!). I was seated, ordered a decaf coffee (sorry; had to go unleaded for health reasons, darn it). I reviewed the menu and - well - tried to find a comfy seating position on the upholstered booth table I was seated at. I'm sorry, but the springs on this thing had sprung, and there wasn't a comfy spot to be found. Ok. So there was that..... I liked the style of the place- but what in the world was with the 5,000 kelvin can lights in the ceiling? Folks, I want warm and comfy lighting - no more than 3500 Kelvin is what you had elsewhere in the restaurant. The 5,000 kelvin was just way, way too harsh. For shame. Pull out the "daylight" and put in a soft/warm kelvin bulb please! Hurts my eyes. Ok- the food. I ordered a 2-egg breakfast; subbed the hashies for rye toast, chose the sausage option, and upped the order to include two crepes with lingonberry sauce (always a sucker for lingonberry sauce, you know?). I was told the food would take a bit longer due to the crepes - didn't matter to me, really; couldn't be a huge delays could it? Naw, it wasn't. The food came out- ok, then! Let's check it out - the scrambled eggs and sausage were perfectly acceptable. The toast was not buttered (NO!) but was right outta the toaster- and man, that counted! As I started munchin' away, I noted the crepes seemed- well- a bit well done? Well, yeah. Like, on one crepe? The end of the crepe was hard and almost- but not quite- burnt. Yikes. I still ate it. It was relatively good, sure. But who over-cooks crepes? Can't say it was fantastic. Now, I don't have anything bad to say about the server- she was super nice and awesome! But fix up the seating/lights, please, as well as the crepes? You'll be in "5" territory in no time!

Checked out this Middle Eastern restaurant in Hoffman Estates. Falafil Hut is a bare bones kind of…read moreplace. It has no bathroom, no napkins, and one table. A poor place to eat inside. They want you to get takeout it seems. Before coming in basically thought there would be more to it. It's a small place that's not really meant for groups or even one person. They have the counter to order at, and a menu on the wall. Has okay prices. It's about $10 for the Falafel Wrap. Add a few more bucks to make it a combo. They served it in foil without any plates. Obvious how they aren't expecting anyone to eat inside. The falafel was crispy and it was a great meal even with presentation being shitty. Other menu items include beef and chicken kebabs. The falafel is in the name of the place so it obviously is the best thing. For sure if going here again we'll get it to go. It's closed Mondays and Tuesdays. There's of course lots to get for vegetarians.

It's not really old but the décor…read moreis so '50s, you can just imagine greasers pulling up in their hotrods and swaggering inside. The best seats in the house are at the counter, where you can banter with the staff and watch the action on the grill. The owner and his staff are super-friendly and accommodating. On this visit, we were with a large group seated in the smaller dining room next to the gaming room. The restaurant was full and the kitchen got backed up; a few in our group did not receive their food until after others had finished their meals. You get a ton of food; most lunches include a bowl of soup, fries and slaw. On a previous visit, I ordered a chicken Philly sandwich that was messy to eat but okay. This time, I began with beef barley soup that tasted like it came out of a red and white can, but the LA wrap was a winner and the accompanying fries were perfect. My Missus gave the Meatloaf Special 5 stars.
