    Second day in a row! I love the beef kabob plate! But from the other reviews my mediterranean pallid may be lacking since I like it so far!?!

    Everyone is right. This place is hit or miss, but falafel and hot sauce are excellent and the $7.99 lunch special is enough food for lunch and a half.

    7.99 lunch special between 11-3 PM. Great deal, easily shared with another person who is as poor as you.

    The food is pretty good on its own, but their hot sauce bumps it up significantly.

    $3.99 falafel sandwich and no tax w/Loyola ID makes for a cheap lunch

    Lebanese spinach pies and thin, herbed flatbread called mankouchi are stand-outs. Read more

    Absolutely rude service, over priced schawarma sandwiches, and overall non-appealing atmosphere. Do yourself a favor and go to Benjeyhuda in the loop

    Kabop sandwich does not look like a sandwich nor a kabop. Avoid.
