Food was delightful. Lentil soup (not pictured), chicken kebab plate w hummus, rice and salad, beef shawarma sandwich. I believe this is a Yemeni spot and we really loved the spice blends that were unique compared to comparable dishes at other restaurants. Then again I haven’t met middle eastern food I don’t like. As others have mentioned service can be slow as they cook fresh and it was a one man operation when we visited. I would go out of my way to return and really want to try the lamb mandi!!
First time I’ve ever had a chicken schwarma and it was delicious! Also had a non alcoholic pomegranate malt and it was also delicious. We were greeted and immediately seated upon arrival. The server checked on us several times. He was very kind and accommodating. Great prices! Must try.
Got the Kafta Kabob, Zurbian chicken and Lentil soup. The kabov and Zurbian chicken were pretry good anf portions are huge, but the Lentil soup was amazing! I took 1 star off coz i wanted the lamb anx they were out. Will go back for lamb and might bump it to 5 stars.
They took a little time to bring out our order, but it was worth it. Their Zurbian Lamb Mandi is one of the best I’ve had in the Chicago area. Excellent service, very reasonable prices, and a decent ambience. I’d go just for the food!
That nostalgic feeling in every bite.It reminds me my days living in the middle east ,The food ,the culture ,the people ,my friends .The best shawarma in the city.The flavor is spot on.We’ll be coming back for sure.
The kurbian lamb was out of this world, would recommend to anyone! The serving size was also very generous, if I were by myself one plate would last me 3-4 meals! The lamb melted in our mouths and the rice was also very flavorful. Service was also quick even though the place was packed (even on a Sunday night)
The food was really good and the customer service was great. Muhammad was very helpful and made sure we got everything we needed. He helped us with choosing the mandi and made the whole experience better. Definitely recommend!
Portion was perfect to share! The Zurbian was super tasty and filling! Rice was super flavorful and perfect texture. Lamb and chicken were tender and melting in my mouth. Lamb broth and cucumber salad complimented the meal very well! Not to mention the quick and super friendly service!
