Review & Rating
This place is great. My girlfriend and I like to each get a wrap and trade halves. The chicken shawarma is super flavorful and a little crispy (but not dry at all), the braised lamb is super moist and tender and delicious and the kefta is salty and rich but not too much. They set themselves apart by adding fresh veggies to the wraps (lettuce, tomato, cucumber, radish) instead of just the usual pickle. Try the delicious herb-seasoned fries with purple sauce (what is this stuff?!) which has an intense (but not too intense) garlicky flavor. Even their tahini sauce is awesome. I always get extra on the side.
Haven't had a falafel since I lived in New York cozy place for good food
The restaurant looks clean but it might need to be remodel a little bit to make it more welcome to the clients. Sometimes it's hard to find parking in that area. Food is not cheap but it's delicious and looks very fresh !!! The only reason why I keep going back at least once a year, it's because of the wrap (don't forget to ask for the salsa) is so good as well as the fries. A must try !!!!
This is another favorite in my office. When we order out, this is in the normal rotation. The fries with purple sauce. I'd argue the plates and wraps are better than the salads, the shawarma and kafta are my favorite protiens and my boss swears by the lamb.
Delicious and comforting meal. I love the lemon dressing! I'm not a big tahini fan so I use the purple sauce for my sauce. They serve that with the fresh cut fries.I also enjoyed the 3 types of baklava they serve for dessert for 4 dollars. It's a little spot hid away in Bridgeport, but definitely worth a venture to. Enjoy!☺
Reliable Bridgeport spot. Great pita, hummus and babaganoush. Also, shrimp wraps. Thanks for providing veggie and pescatarian options for Bridgeport!
The food here was amazing. I got the lamb bowl and loved every bit of it. It was all very filling! Would love to return the next time I come to Chicago.
The Herb Fries w/ Purple Dip was amazing, cant wait to go back and try more on the menu.
The food is delicious, but it's not one $ ... Expect to pay an extra unexpected $7 - $10 at the end. So, about $20 - $25 per person for a single plate dish and tax... with no appetizer, no tip, nor drink: you'll need to add another $5 - $15 for all that). If you're just getting a wrap, it would be $15 for one meal enough for one person, no tip no drink no extras. This means for a regular person like me that usually pays average $10 per meal (with drink, tax and extras), I can only eat there maybe twice a month. This is the type of info I want, so there you go.
Fresh. Hot. Yummy. All with an amazing chili sauce that will have you wondering why you ever went anywhere else. It’s fast and busy. The pita is soft and fluffy and hot. Their selections are basic but all lovingly prepared and flavorful.
Have been going here since it opened. Great delicious and fresh food. Their platters don't disappoint and their servings are generous. Some of the best falafel I've tasted. Kind of spicy but enough kick to eat all of them. Their prices have gone up but well worth it. Go-to-place for Mediterranean food.
