Ya Hala Middleeastern Grill

Just amazing food - the cook is definitely talented. Best falafel I've had outside of Jordan. A few of the foods are too cheap for the portion so I hope they're making enough to stay open for a long time

About a 1-1.5: I saw that Ya Hala had some rave reviews, but after my experience, they are a bit sus.Their menu offers various apps, salads, sandwiches, and entrees - we tried:+Eggplant Fatteh - prepared with eggplants, beef, pita chips, tomato sauce, and garlic yogurt sauce; the pita chips that were mixed in were super soggy, and should have been served on the side for the consumer to mix in+Mskhan (musakhan?) Rolls - with bread, chicken, summac, onions, lemon juice, and olive oil; kind of similar to egg rolls+the Mix Grill - comes with beef kebab, chicken kebab, and shish taouk - this came on a bed of rice with a side of salad and hummus; unfortunately, the meats seemed to not be fresh and reheated; they were not cooked on the spot and seemed to have been prepared way in advanceService was friendly, but the food was super disappointing.Parking available in the shared lot.+not-so-fresh meats+parking available in lot

Agreed with all the 5 stars thus far. More a takeout place. Only seven seats if dining in. Today, I only noticed 2 people working. Friendly. I did not mind waiting. I watched food videos on the TV while I waited.Our food was served at the right temp. Meat was tender and juicy. Seasoning balanced. Not salty. Vegetarian combo plate available. Lentil and Fava bean side dishes available. Would go back to try sandwiches. Food made to order.

Awesome Mediterranean food, more like eating homemade than a restaurant! They have all of the usual Middle Eastern standards like hummus, shwarma, and kabobs (try the lunch special to get a sample of their kabobs) but what makes this place unique are the dishes that you won't find anywhere else. My favorite dish is the Fatte - pieces of pita and eggplant in a creamy garlic yogurt sauce, technically it's an appetizer but the portion size is like an entree! My wife likes the hurra, a pasta dish with lentils. Call and ask for the frequent specials throughout the week like saidiyah (delicious fish on top of rice with slivered nuts) or mandi (slow cooked chicken and rice). Service is friendly and pretty quick considering that these meals are hearty and homemade rather than fast food and portions are very generous.

I really enjoyed the food here it was my first time eating middle eastern food and it was great.

Good people, good service, good food. It Evan has parking. What more could I ask for.

A new little restaurant owned by a very nice Jordanian family. Great to find as the food was fresh and very tasty. It is a must-go and they also have a $6.99 lunch special which is very generous of them. This little area of Morton Grove has Mediterranean, Pakistani, Afghanistan, Italian, Filipino and Japanese all on one block!

Delicious and authentic Mediterranean Food. Love the menu, tried almost all of the food.Highly recommend and I give 5 star for the taste, freshness and preparation.

Yasmine gave us the upmost hospitality you can give, our food was very delicious & you could tell it was made with care and love. Will come again for sure.
