    Hurry up and get yourself to this restaurant. Burgers are great. Sharwama bowls are tasty. And all Zabiha Halal

    Catered meal

    We had Yalla cater out family dinner with many of their delicious dishes. We had hummus, babaganoush, Jerusalem salad, Taboula, grape leaves, Lentil soup, kofta kebabs, chicken shawarma, lamb chops and for dessert Baklava. Everything was delicious! Best middle eastern food I've ever had. Good portion amounts. Enough that we all had something to take home. The owner was very accommodating and went above and beyond in helping. I highly recommend!

    I normally don't do reviews. This was my first time ordering an order from here (takeout) and it was terrible. It was a big bowl of soggy food!! It wasn't even super warm and the steak didn't even taste seasoned . I just threw it in the garbage. Wasted $20! Highly disappointed.

    This is the GO TO HOT SPOT of the south suburbs! Friendly service, with AMAZING food. Fresh, healthy ingredients. I felt like I had a home made meal. The shawarma bowls were to die for The wraps were quick and full of flavor The falafel.... OHH MM GG. BULLSEYE We will be back again and again Trust me when I tell you .. This is the best spot in the south burbs Will and Dina Adams

    People are very nice. Food is delicious. Might have to come here more than once Middle Eastern is so good! Also, the falafel is delicious. I recommend this place. Go try it yourself And it's inexpensive

    I had the steak shawarma bowl. It was delicious. Layers and layers of flavor. The vegetables on top were all fresh and tasty. There was a lot and I couldn't finish it. Service was great and the restaurant was very clean!

    Ordered the chicken shwarma wrap, falafel bowl, baba ghanouj and side of pita bread. Everything was made fresh. Absolutely delicious. Go!!

    Falafel

    I created a Yelp account just to leave a 5 star review. This place is absolutely delicious and deserves all the praise. There's not many Middle Eastern places in the area and I hope this place is here to stay. All of the food is made fresh and I had to happily wait an extra 5 minutes or so just so they can grill the hwawchi and scoop and fry the falafels. The baklava are absolutely amazing as well. The Chicken Shawarma bowl was by the best I've ever had with fresh grilled pitas, you can absolutely taste a massive difference over a place like Naf Naf Grill where you'd get something similar. Just flat out delicious food. All 3 sauces I added extra were delicious and made my pitas that much better. The 3 workers there were all very nice and considerate. The experience was fantastic and will definitely be back soon and recommending to everyone that will listen

    We ordered chicken shawarma wrap, shawarma bowl, hwawchi. Food was very tasty. I liked the Arabic music in the background while waiting for food. The only feedback I'd give is that I wished the service was faster but noting they're just starting out. I look forward to coming back.

    Forgot to take pictures of the foot itself but it was very good! We got wraps and falafels. The wraps were very well sized and was a big fan of their garlic sauce. Personally I liked the Steak shawarma more than the chicken so I'll be getting that next time. The falafels were very crispy and flavorful, not greasy at all. Overall would definitely return

    Love their chicken shawarma, falafels, and hummus. We rotate between wraps, pitas and bowls. Love that they freshly fry their falafels!

    I don't know which was better, the food or the service!! The food was excellent and flavorful and…read moreSimply fresh tasting. The service made me feel as if I made a friend, Nick is the best. The marinated meat, chicken and beef are freaking unreal and to die for. The fresh teas were also delicious. Ask for Nick, he was fabulous!!

    I have been meaning to visit Al Bahaar for the longest time and finally hubby and I decided to try…read morethem out and it was a 10 stars experience! We got the seafood tower for 2 and it come with 2 dips and bread and everything was Devine!!!! An absolute mouth heaven for seafood lovers. The top tier was fried calamari, lobster tail split in 2 and 2 giant shrimp with this spicy tomato dipping sauce. The bottom tier was a bed of delicious spicy yellow rice with 3 different kinds of fish, shrimp and mussels. Every single thing I put into my mouth was excellent!!! Our server Ferris (sorry if I spelled your name wrong) was absolutely amazing. Funny, knowledgeable, he explained everything that we were eating and telling us about the buffet that they offered. He was tentative and nice. The decor was sooooo beautiful and romantic as well. We sat on these super comfy round cushion chairs over these beautiful round lights and it was dim enough to feel a wonderful atmosphere and romantic but bright enough to see our food. The entire experience was wonderful and if I could give them more than 5 stars, I would. I will recommend this place to anyone who loves Mediterranean food or seafood and I will 1000% be back. This is my new favorite place!! Thank you for a great date night experience for hubby and I!
