BenjYehuda

Chicken shawarma box is maybe my favorite food in Chicago. Extra sauce, extra pickle. I make a point of visiting benjyehuda every time I am in the city. The fries and cheddar are excellent too. I only rate 4 stars because they no longer accept cash and that was very inconvenient for me at the time. Food wise, hard to beat.

Awesome fast casual. Love this spot. Cool vibes. Clean. Good prices. Great quality. Fresh ingredients. Great service. Great portions and filling. Will be back.

fast and furiously good! my pledge dad is israeli and i think he would approve. got the falafel bowl. staffer #1 hooked it up and gave me EIGHT pieces, half spicy half non. the spicy isn't that hot so if you're wondering you prob can handle the heat. love the street meets literati vibe of the place w all the quotes from famous ppl about food and rice. shout out to the mitch hedberg quote #GOATgreat spot for quick, relatively inexpensive lunch. i was solo but going w a coworker or friends also works. since it's summer, i relocated outside the boeing terrace along the river to eat and take in the boat tours passing by. shalom!

Ordered for takeout; the chicken shawarma bowl with everything along with the fries. The food was so good!! The fries were crispy and the tahini sauce was on point. I have had great Mediterranean food in the past and I most say this is in the top 5. Presentation was on point, colorful, and nothing was missing from my order (besides utensils which is why I docked off a star). Definitely a go to if you're in the area and need to grab lunch.

This is a great find for lunch. The food is very fresh and the portions are large. They have fresh sides, veggies, etc.. I had a salad and one day I had a wrap. Superb! I will try the gyro next.

BenjYehuda, if you've never been, is worth trying. It's delicious!There is a distinct Chipotle feel to the interior and food prep but that is not a bad thing. It is strictly "business" without a lot of frills but everything was very inviting. There was no line to speak of and there were plenty of seats to be had... I'm guessing not many people know about this fantastic spot. Which makes sense, given that it's nestled in Ogilvie Transportation Center's food court.The food makers were very fast and efficient and the owner/manager (or who I assume was the owner/manager) was also the last stop in the line before handing it off to the cashier. I like that, he is there making sure everything is going smoothly. He also sincerely thanked me for my business, which you don't get too much these days. Great staff!I had the combo bowl with all the fixings, and Tehini and hot sauce. Everything was DELICIOUS and the portion size was nice a big! Great portion size here!Given the level of service, and the portion sizes, this place is EXCELLENT bang for your buck!I am so very glad to have found this place because it is such a wonderful lunch in all respects. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed!

I really don't like to leave negative reviews but my experience here was absolutely horrendous. The employees are extremely rude and unprofessional. With nobody else in the store, they said they would NOT prepare my pickup order until the exact time I requested. I was literally 10 minutes early and they had NO other orders. They flat out REFUSED to begin the order until the "exact time" and made sure to be very unkind about it. I work in the building and have MANY options in the atrium marketplace as well as in the surrounding area. I will NEVER return to this location for any reason. The food is decent but the service is not worth it.

The only mistake I made was not eating here when my office was a short walk away.Ordered delivery from here and it was BOMB. I personally believe they're at the top of the list when it comes to pick-your-own Mediterranean bowls. The toppings are all fresh. I added chicken shawerma which is lean, flavorful, and cooked perfectly into bite sized pieces. My toppings were red cabbage, basmati rice (super fluffy), pickles, hummus, and Jerusalem salad. All toppings are super fresh. Their sauces are also super tasty. My favorite combo is tahini x hot sauce.I think the best part is that their hot sauce isn't red and scorching hot- it's tolerable and pairs perfectly with all of the other flavors instead of being too overpowering.Can't wait to try this in person when everything is normal again.

I don't know how to pronounce this place but if I could I would tell all of my friends to go here! The chicken and vegetables are pretty solid and and fries are well above average (need to try to cheese next time). I'll be back!

This place looks nice at firts sight but the short guy that you see runing around bossing people around is a 2 face and plays favorite with his staff memebers but they all fake to each other also they all look mad fqces like they hate their job and the service was horrible i seen and had better food from other places. If i could given negative starts to this place i would trust me, i seems places like this lost their way after covid. I bought a falafel pita from here straight garbage and yeah I throw it in the garbage after the firts disgusting bite i took from it. The owner should pay attention to his business instead of watching his pockets getting full.
