"If you are a fan of Middle Eastern cuisine that is incredible, affordable, and better than most food I had in the Middle East, then look no further. This place is known for its great food. However, the only downside is the unfriendly staff who barely acknowledge you. Luckily, you can order and pay at the counter. Despite this, it remains one of my favorite restaurants and can often be more budget-friendly than cooking at home. I highly recommend trying the falafel sandwich, egg cheese pie, and marinated Brussels sprouts from the salad bar (trust me on this one). This is hands down the best Middle Eastern food in Chicago."
