The Best Shawerma

This is a whole in the wall joint that has seen better days physically. One of those places that make you question all the sanitation laws but the food is so fire, you forget?Combo plate, shawarma sandwich, and the fries. The fries are perfectly crispy, tossed into a paper bag and seasoned from a jar that maybe has never been wiped clean but is full of absolute magic.The service was friendly, I could see being a regular if we lived closer.Make sure to bring cash!

Still the best shawarma imo. So good. Plenty of meat. Very filling. Always leave satisfied. Just wish they were open on Sundays.

The sandwich was generously filled, yet every ingredient was in harmony, from the succulent beef to the fresh vegetables and creamy sauces.

Meat was a little dry but had decent flavor. Service was excellent as the person serving us polite and attentative although he combined the beef and chicken into two sandwiches when I had asked for one chicken and one beef sandwich. Prices were reasonable so I will be back again.

I've been coming to this place for years and it never fails. Ive always had the chicken shawarma sandwich, it's simple and delicious! The price itself is also great and it comes with a can of pop, around 8$. The service is also good, very kind people! It can get packed in there at times, the inside is small but there is an outside area you can eat at. Also, cash only. Highly recommend.

This was our first time there on a recommendation from a friend.The owner was very nice and we had a nice conversation with him while he was cooking our food. We had shawarma, falafel and hummus. All of which were very good. Don't let the outside appearance fool you this place is really good and the owner is very nice. We will be back again.

Omg! This was the best find in Chicago! The combination plate is the truth! I highly recommend it! The hummus is Devine! Highly recommend this place.

Everything was great. The Falafel were some of the best I ever had. Crispy outside, creamy inside and nicely spiced. The combo plate and shwarama plates were excellent. We got the small hummus, which was like a gallon of hummus for $10. They also gave us a free sample of the lentil soup, which led to us buying 4 more soups for dinner. Don't let the modest building fool you, the food and service are exceptional.

A restaurant has to be really cocky to name themselves the best shawarma but this restaurant backs it up!!! Really good and flavorful meat!! Truly some of the best I've had. This is one of those hole in the wall places that have amazing food! I have looked at old photos of the menu and I will say that the prices have gone up. Still reasonable but aren't as cheap as they were before. Still very good food! I got the combination platter which cost $16 and it can feed 2 people or 1 hungry person. There are little chairs to sit outside but most people just get the food to go.

Came to find this place as I flew into Midway for work and was craving Shawarma. Clearly family owned and the gentleman that helped me made me a small sandwich to try while I waited for my order. I ordered Chicken Shawarma Entree and "small" order of Hummus, Jerusalem Salad. Spices were all perfect and Pita was fresh and delicious! I can't identify all the sauces but I ate them all! Waiting for next year to be back and eat here again!
