I had a wonderful experience. We went there on a Saturday to celebrate our friend's birthday. Soon after we got seated, our... server came over, introduced herself and asked us if we wanted to order now or start with our drinks first. Right after she gotus our drinks, somebody else came over and took our order. We had: chicken wrap, chicken shawarma, shakshuka, arabic flat breadand lamb burger. Moments later all the order except mine which was the lam burger arrived. But my lamb burger also arrived fewminutes later. With the exception of the shakshuka, the portions of the others are huge. As for my lamb burger, it was worth thewait. It is by far the best lamb burger I have had in my entire life and highly recommend it. It is very juicy and tasty andmakes my mouth water just thinking about it. I can't wait till I go back and have it again. Anyone who likes lamb or wants totry lamb burger, then this is the place to go. Guaranteed you will be satisfied. Read more
The meat plate was SO GOOD! Recommend it over the sandwich definitely. We all wanted to eat that one. Rice has so much flavor... and I definitely recommend the Jerusalem salad and lamb with extra garlic sauce!!! Pita was a little dry but the flavoreverywhere else made up for it. Free delivery which was amazing. Perfect take out option- can’t speak to the inside but wouldlove to Come check it out. Read more
I love this place! The food is always delicious and the service is great. A great spot for a quick evening snack and a glass of... wine, a delicious dinner for two or a full family-style smorgasbord with family and friends. Take out is always excellent too.Support local. This is a great one! Read more
Should really be 3 stars, but the attentiveness of the manager raised it to 4. Another Chicago Passport book recommendation.... The place is small but beautiful, really liked the decor and the second floor balcony area. The corner location gives a niceview of Michigan ave. We ordered some drinks and appetizers. My first choice of drink, which had jalapeño in it they didn’thave. Bad sign there, ordered an old fashion and a blood orange Manhattan. Both drinks were weak, the garnish on the old fashionwas what looked like an eaten orange slice, my Manhattan used regular oranges. Both drinks didn’t taste good, almost noliquor. The appetizer was the Lebanese dish, the bacon wrapped dates were excellent, though they were quickly overshadowed bythe dry hard falafel. Our dishes came out, and although they tasted good the outer edges of the dish was cold. The center washot and even steam was coming off it, but the food on the edge of the dish was starting to cool off. I notified the manager, Iasked if the food was pre-prepared and then microwaved, said no all is made from scratch. The only thing I could think was thatour food was ready and sat on the counter until our waiter brought it out. I asked if they had warming lights to keep disheswarm, he said no. Now the actual food had a good taste and seasoned well, it was just cold. They did make it up to us, bygiving us an extra side of sautéed veggies and a baclava on the house, which again was delicious. But I don’t think we aregoing back, nor do I recommend the place.

The restaurant has a serene atmosphere with a hint of Middle eastern design. The waiters were courteous and attended to us... promptly however the food does not compare with the nice atmosphere and wonderful service. The food was POORLY made and bland.We ordered a plate of Biryani and chicken shawarma. The biryani was drowned in water (picture below)and was below expectation. Idefinitely won’t be back here but if it’s any consolation the waiters were nice. Read more
Went for Brunch on a Saturday (Brunch is only on Weekends). Brunch was fantastic. There wasn't too many people on a Saturday at... approximately 11:30 AM. The atmosphere is nice, the host and waiters check up occasionally as well. The initial impression whenwalking in is that there is fantastic decor and it gives a unique feel because of the adjacent upper floor. At first I thoughtit might be cramped, but there is plenty of room around the area. The Brunch menu was interesting, it wasn't too overwhelmingeither. Plenty of choices but not enough to leave you confused. My girlfriend and I chose the Egg Benedict with Smoked Salmonand Steak Omelet respectively. Both of our dishes came prepared with Rosemary Potatoes. Plenty of food for two people. What Iliked about my Steak Omelet dish is that the steak had a rich Mediterranean flavor that I really wasn't expecting. The SmokedSalmon paired with the egg really melts in your mouth too. I would definitely recommend both dishes to first timebrunch-goers. It was overall an excellent experience and I give my compliments to the waiters, host, staff, and of course, thechefs. Read more
The food here was just delicious. Especially their meat. Their lemonade was so authentic and tasteful too. And their service was... exceptional too. We sat upstairs and the young lady didn't mind going up and down the stairs at all. An easy 5 star. Read more
