Really tasty wraps and entrees. A bit pricey for carryout but good portion sizes and unmatched flavor depth makes this a great option if you\\\'re on the area.

We stopped here on our way from Chicago. It was a great experience. The food was delicious (we ordered 2 different types of combo plates so we tried almost all of their kabobs-showermas). They were all great. Before ordering we were served with 4 small appetizers (at no extra charge). The house staff were very nice and polite. The price was reasonable compared to portions. We will definitely go back to this restaurant if we go to visit Chicago again.

People were friendly and the Sunday evening buffet was delicious. Plus you can do prayers in their banquet hall.

An American friend of mine wanted to eat mediterranean food so we stopped by here since it was too long of a drive to Chicago. When the waiter brought the appetizers he told us that he forgot to mention that they have a buffet on Thursdays and since it was Thursday we can decide to wait about 15 minutes for the buffet & the appetizers we ordered would be on the house. We accepted & waited for the buffet. It was excellent. I only wish I was more hungry. Service is lso outstanding.

On our way to Chicago my family got hungry and we went to this restaurant. It was surprisingly very good. The quality of the food was great and it was inexpensive.

This restaurant is good in general. The owners are really nice people and very respectful, and they usually have nice waitresses. The food is good for the first time but it has to much fats especially the kabab. The meat showrma is really good. The best thing is the appetizers especially in the Buffet. The prices are average to above the average. I used to go once a month or less. Since it's the only one in the area, but I prefer Chicago restaurants.

my husband and i drove 1 1/2 hours one way to try this restaurant. we were very impressed with the food as well as the very friendly staff...would have liked to see more items in the grocery, but for being a small grocery there was a nice variety and we definitely took a few bags home with us...we will definitely be making another trip back to this restaurant!

While it is true that the owner was shot, this is NOT an unfriendly area. It is SAFE. There is a banquet room attached that is also used for prayer. Catering services are also EXCELLENT. We drive 20 miles one way to eat at this restaurant!
