"On July 27, 2023, at 3:58 PM, I had a disappointing experience at this restaurant. When I approached the staff, a white woman asked what I would like. I mentioned I was thinking about the pita chicken but still needed to look at the menu. Instead of assisting me, she just laughed and thanked me for no apparent reason. I felt embarrassed for not being able to remember my order. The laughter from the two women, both white, left me feeling uncomfortable, while a male staff member and another woman were helpful. I couldn't shake the feeling of being treated disrespectfully by the two women. This experience felt racially charged, and I decided that I won't be returning to this restaurant. I used to work for Benny from 2013 to 2014, and I was always taught to treat customers with respect and to ensure they have a positive experience."

I work in the building, and it was my first time trying Benjyehuda. I absolutely loved it and plan to go there often from now on! The prices are very reasonable, and the staff working today, November 8 at 7 PM, were really friendly.

This is a fantastic restaurant! I've been a regular for nearly three years, and they have never gotten my order wrong. The combo bowl, with a mix of lettuce and rice topped with all the proteins, is a satisfying meal that is definitely more than enough to fill you up. View menu

This restaurant is a fantastic spot for lunch! The food is incredibly fresh, and the portions are generous. They offer a variety of fresh sides and vegetables. I tried a salad, and on another visit, I had a wrap, both of which were excellent! Next, I plan to try the gyro.

First time having Mediterranean food and I would say it's very good. A little on the pricey side but I got full and have about enough left over for another meal. Would definitely come back again.Vegetarian options: Clearly labeled choices as vegetarian.Dietary restrictions: Clearly labeled choices as vegan, gluten free, etc.

I've always been a fan of Benjyehuda. The chicken and falafel are fantastic, and the portion sizes offer great value for the price. However, I’ve noticed that it has become a bit pricier since COVID. On a surprising note, the Ogilvie Cafeteria is actually quite nice and clean—definitely didn’t see that coming! Overall, I’d rate the food a solid 5 out of 5. View menu

I've only ordered delivery from this restaurant once, but based on that experience, I would give it a glowing 5-star rating. Since I had never tried Mediterranean cuisine before, I can't say that every dish fit my taste perfectly, but I found the food to be exceptionally fresh and full of flavor. My order was exact, and the portion sizes were quite generous. I'm really impressed!

Incredibly good food in a fast-paced environment! My friend's dad is Israeli, and I'm sure he would approve. I ordered the falafel bowl, and the staff member was generous, giving me eight pieces—half spicy and half mild. The spicy ones aren't too hot, so if you're curious, you'll likely be able to handle the heat. I really enjoy the blend of casual and sophisticated atmosphere, with quotes from famous figures about food and rice adorning the walls. A special shout-out to the quote from Mitch Hedberg—definitely a classic! It's a great place for a quick, reasonably priced lunch. I dined alone this time, but it's also perfect for going with coworkers or friends. Since it's summer, I decided to...

"Tempesta is arguably one of the best sandwich shops in the city. They make a lot of their meats in house and use high quality ingredients so you know you’re getting the good stuff. Not only can you get a great sandwich, you can purchase most of their meats to go as well as other small artisanal grocery items. I have tried almost every sandwich they have on the menu but my top two choices would be the #1 The Dante and the #2 Yo! Vincenzo! The Dante is their version of a classic Italian sandwich but a bit on the spicier side. The Yo Vincenzo is a chicken parm and I personally think it’s the best chicken parm sandwich in the city. The chicken is perfectly crispy, and they use just the right amount of sauce where it doesn’t get soggy. Both of these sandwiches come on their fresh baguette which helps set them apart from other sandwich spots in Chicago just because of how good it is. The B Franklin is also a great option, and if you’re starving get the Wagyu Pastrami but be warned it is a very heavy sandwich because of that Wagyu. The last pro tip I’ll add in here is order your sandwich ahead of time if you’re doing takeout. This is a very popular spot and is always busy during the lunch rush so if you wait to order until you arrive you may need to wait for 10-15 minutes. That should speak to how good this place is because it’s in such high demand, so if you’re in Chicago make sure you stop in!"
