    12. Kalaya 9. Eggs with Potatoes
    Hira H.

    Ordered Shish Kabob Sandwich, Falafels, Kalaya and Eggs and Potatoes. And man, everything was AMAZING!!! Even the side of pickled vegetables that were served with the food were absolutely phenomenal! The service was friendly, sweet snd prompt. Neto polish everything off, the best (and most comforting) mint tea!!! It's an absolute MUST to visit and eat at this restaurant!!!

    I've been coming here since they originally opened their first location in Chicago! The food is authentic and fresh every time! The service is fast including when ordering through Grubhub! I've never had the opportunity to dine inside so I can't comment on the ambiance however I will vouch that the quality of the food is always outstanding! Palestinian owned and operated! The owner is a kind person and always goes above and beyond for his customers ensuring that they have a great experience! I usually order the hummus (with steak), baba ghanouj, kelaya, and shawarma wraps. If you haven't tried the Nile Restaurant, I highly suggest you check them out!

    I did not like the food here. I did order goat but I didn't line it here at all. I won't be returning, too many better choices in the area.

    Lately we keep ending up at Yemeni restaurants. We actually went to M'dakhan for lunch, but when we…read morewalked in we were told that there would be a 1 hour wait! Thus, we drove down the street to Shibam instead, which was nice and empty. I believe this is the newer Shibam, as there's another Shibam down the street on Harlem next to Prince Sweets. The parking lot is spacious enough, and the restaurant is located right next to Shibam Market, so you can get groceries afterwards. The interior of Shibam looks okay. The booths are comfortable and spacious, and the restaurant overall is spacious. There's even a small area for prayer space. Like other Yemeni restaurants, they have plastic tablecloths for easy cleanup afterwards. We were given a couple of menus and picked our own booth. We ordered lamb haneeth (rice w/ lamb) and agda chicken (chicken stew w/ veggies); for the latter dish, we selected bread instead of rice. They also served complimentary salad, broth, and some sort of hot sauce. The lamb haneeth was very good, but we noticed the amount of meat was less than a couple other Yemeni restaurants we've tried. Still, it was enough for the three of us. The chicken dish was pretty flavorful and had plenty of veggies, but it was a bony chicken, so we had to pick off the meat. The broth and hot sauce were good. Overall a nice meal. Service was friendly and pricing was reasonable.

    PLEASE!!! Change the server!!!…read moreThe lady was super rude and not accomodating, doesn't know how to do a proper hygiene!!! So gross!!!
