"Chicken shawarma was awesome. Different regions of world has different recipes of shawarma they all different but key of good shawarma is meat Ed’s Kitchen use good fresh meat, it’s like I cook for my self and how it supposed to be. If anyone says it’s not shawarma don’t listen to that person. I tried different shawarma in Chicago land and that one of the best. Chicken meat was grilled on wood lump which gives you best taste of meat. I will definitely recommend to my friends and I will come back to try other stuff that they have."

"A bit of a let down tbh, was hoping it to be a bit more authentic. ?kepta duona (fried bread with garlic and cheese) was quite good, ?saltibarsciai (cold Beetroot soup) the soup itself was nice but the potatoes it came with so weird, had to leavethem.. ? both balandeliai (cabbage rolls) and apkepti cepelinai (baked zeppelin) was clearly cooked by someone not Lithuanian, asort of a twist on these classic dishes and not very good twist on either of the dishes. Service was alright, atmosphere was OK( just a few tables but it was an early Tuesday afternoon) The beer was great ???? At the end of the day, it's nice to have aplace like this just hope it would be a bit more authentic ????"

"I always thought highly of this place because of the pics I think. I ordered today thru ubereats. AWFUL FOOD. As soon as i opened the box, it stunk up my room. I was wondering what it was, it was the cantaloupe, ROTTEN. Threw it out right away. The eggs didnt smell that good either, they were probably nearly spoiling when they were cooked. Stay away, go for Ihop or even Denny’s. Frankly selling such rotten food should be illegal. update: They prefer you order on their site instead of these app … – show"

"I had a fantastic meal last weekend at this supper club restaurant that we brought my mom to. It was the first time at Carnivore The Queen. From the outside the restaurant is nothing special as it’s in a small strip mall and there’s not a lot of parking. Don’t let that fool you. Once inside, it’s decorated very nicely with black walls ceilings, beautiful lighting and artwork. There’s a bar in each dining area as well. There’s a small front and side, outdoor patio with umbrella tables, too.Our server was Zane, who was very personable and engaging. He gave us the history of the name of the restaurant, when I inquired and explained the menu. He made the dining experience that much better.My husband and I started out with cocktails. I requested a mezcal paloma and my husband had one of the old fashioneds, the Minocqua which was amazing. Next time I’m getting that cocktail.We started with a relish tray that we shared comprised of beer cheese dip, ham salad, housemade crackers, crudités, olives and cornichons. The relish tray is definitely a throwback to the supper clubs of the past. It’s good for two to share. I I asked for bread, which was served warm with salted butter topped with fried basil and salt. I was surprised there was a charge for the bread. With the high prices at this restaurant, it would be a nice touch for their customers to provide complimentary bread and charge for the second loaf, if requested.My mom and husband had the beef wellington, which was the Saturday night special. It was fantastic. Perfectly flaky crust, and the fillet was cooked as requested, medium rare, I had the seared scallops, which were perfectly grilled and tender and fresh.This restaurant is pricey, but worth it. There is a five-course signature supper for 66, which would include the relish tray, wedge salad. shrimp crab Louie, roasted chicken, and dessert. You can swap out the roasted chicken for another entrée with an upcharge. I think that is the way to go so you can have a little bit of everything from the menu and control the price.I can’t think of one negative about our dining experience except the charge for bread. I’d like to come back for a burger and cocktails at the bar Their way burgers look fabulous! I definitely recommend this restaurant, but be prepared for sticker shock. We don’t mind paying for great service and food, but others may not. FYI"

"Short and sweet: the best sushi I have ever had Long and sour: everything about the experience was perfect. Located near Naperville and right next to plenty of other restaurants and stores so it makes it easy to multitask and knock out two birds with one stone. The restaurant itself has a cozy interior with booth seating to make it feel more welcoming. There is also a patio with a rain cover so that you can take advantage when the weather is nice. The service we received was phenomenal. A very friendly hostess showed us to our table before we met our server. She gave us great recommendations and took our tastes into consideration. She also stopped by multiple times to fill out water, make sure everything was good, and take away dirty plates. Finally, the best part, the food. It 's hard to explain with words what the tongue can taste but I will try. I 'm not the biggest sushi snob but I can appreciate a good piece of maki when I taste it. We got the chef soon special, smoky bear, something with mango, and a shrimp tempura roll because I always have to try it. It 's hard to rank such good food from worst to best so I will go from good to great. Unsurprisingly, the one I choose instead of having the server choose for me, was the good one. It has smoked salmon on top but I think there was a little bit too much cream cheese inside. It was still better than any other roll I have had but a great roll can 't have cream cheese, let alone enough to slightly overpower the roll. The presentation was great with thin but wide pieces of salmon on top with a sauce drizzled on the side to let the customer choose. Smoked salmon roll 6.8 Secondly is the shrimp tempura roll. The top three rolls were all so close but just like cream cheese in the smoky bear, a great roll can 't have shrimp tempura. I still love shrimp tempura but that is because it 's hard to mess it up, and it tastes good, but is not authentic sushi. It had some flsort of white crunchy bits around the roll that enhanced the texture but the flavor is where it rose to the top. It didn 't taste much like normal shrimp tempura so I could tell it was a higher quality than what you get anywhere else. Just like the other roll, it had a great sauce on the side. Shrimp tempura 8.1 In second place was the mango roll. I call it the mango roll because it had mango on top but you can find out exactly what is in each roll by looking at their menu online. The roll itself was great, but I am a huge fan of mango and fruit, especially on sushi so this one had high expectations. It perfectly met those expectations. As the tiny diced mango never tore apart the roll, slid off, or overpowered the fish. If you are new to fruit on sushi, I highly recommend this one. It also had a bit of spice but the perfect amount where it was just a bit after you already ate the piece of sushi. Mango roll 8.6 Last but certainly not least... The chef soon signature roll. Listed first on the speciality rolls menu, it did not disappoint. I usually prefer salmon over tuna but this roll has singlehandedly changed my mind. The presentation was very demure. It knew where to fit in and it knew where to stand out. The interior of the roll looked very basic, just yellowfin and some accessories but the top lured you in with some edible flowers that have a little flare to an otherwise, standard looking maki roll. The first bite was the same as the last... Perfect. I could eat this roll every single day for the rest of my life and not get sick, unlike some of the distinct flavors in smoked salmon, mango, and shrimp tempura. It executed a pretty basic recipe to perfection. The rice was fluffy yet dense enough to hold the roll together. The nori was almost invisible to my mouth and let the tuna talk. The way I described it in person was creamy , but in the best way. That must have been a good piece of fish because it was the equivalent of a nice marbled piece of steak with the rendered fat that melts in your mouth like butter. Also a great lemony juice that balanced the richness of the fish. Tuna 10/10 perfect."
