Top notch Falafel which is handmade for each order. They come out piping hot and are crunchy on the exterior as well as delicate on the interior. Just so good and unique in comparison to other falafels.
I also ordered the Small Baba Gahnnouj, which hit the spot as well. While I can’t really explain the flavor of Baba, it’s akin to Hummus, but instead of using chickpeas like they do in hummus, It is substituted with eggplant which makes for a much smoother and more tart and flavorful experience.
Overall I will be coming back to this place on a frequent basis, but not on Sunday since they are closed then.
Attached is my food receipt so you can see the cost and also the food that I ordered.
Take that!!!

I have seen this place a lot as I drive by, but a tiktok from these two sisters popped up on my feed and the food looked amazing so I went to try it. I got a 1/2 and 1/2 Shwarma (chicken + steak), and a side of six falafels. The owners were super nice and explained it’ll take a little longer than usual since they make everything fresh. And mannnnnn… IT WAS SO GOOD. I honestly can’t remember when I had such an amazing falafel. And the shwarma was huge and very tasty. Please go check them out because they’re great. I’ll for sure be back.

Incredible service and food! Haven’t had Iraqi shawarma this good anywhere else in the US. $22.99 for a combo plate feeds you for three meals. Thanks Alan and team

I’m in the area for a few weeks and decided to try this place for takeout. I was greeted by what seemed like a father-and-son duo, and the young man taking my order was very friendly and great with customer service.
I ordered the Kefta Kabob plate with lentil soup and an extra side of falafel. For one person, it’s a lot, but I wanted to try a variety. While waiting, the food smelled amazing. I ended up eating all the falafel on the drive home (and I think they gave me extra!).
The lentil soup was fresh, hot, and flavorful. Everything was packed neatly, the pickles tasted homemade, the salad was fresh, and the portions were very generous. The meat was tasty, though slightly dry.
For about $21, the quality, quantity, and service were well worth it. I didn’t mind the wait at all — I actually liked it since everything was made to order. Hope they keep it that way!

Alan’s Falafel is perhaps the best place I’ve eaten for Mediterranean food. It’s seriously good.
I was a first time customer and ordered the chicken kabob with falafel and hummus on the side. The chicken was seasoned and cooked perfectly as it was tender and soft. The hummus was delicious as it was homemade and the falafel was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
The owner and staff were extremely kind as they gave me a few slices of kabob and falafel on the side with garlic sauce to eat while I waited for the food. The meat fresh off the kabob melted in my mouth and tasted like food for the Gods. I will be coming back!

This was the best falafel and beef shawarma I have ever had! Dolmas are also lovely. Alan is very friendly, runs a very clean kitchen and makes each falafel to order. Very basic seating with a soccer match on a tv by the kitchen. Alan’s a huge Chelsea fan. The food we got for 2 could have fed 4-6 people!

Probably one of the BEST places we have been. We kept driving by this place and decided to stop in for the first time and we definitely didn’t regret it. This place is busy and with good reason because the service is great, but the food? No words. I got the shawarma burger and let me tell you it was so juicy and fresh, don’t let the picture deceive you because it’s HUGE. My partner got the half and half shawarma sandwich and it was equally as amazing. Finally, the falafel, you just know it was homemade and fresh. The staff was incredibly kind and funny. Overall, I will say this is the best place for service, food, and price. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

I’ve ordered the Combo Plate from here more than 10 times, so I’m very familiar with the usual quality and portion size. Unfortunately, today’s experience was extremely disappointing.
My order was missing the falafel, and when I spoke with staff, they said it would be difficult and take a long time to fix, so it was never corrected. Both the doner kebab and chicken kebabs were overcooked and burned, making them dry and unpleasant to eat. Overly charred meat is also a health concern based on well-known food safety research, which made this even more concerning.
On top of that, the portion size was noticeably smaller than what I’ve consistently received in the past. Because I regularly order the same dish, this difference was very obvious.
I’ve genuinely enjoyed this restaurant before, which makes this experience even more disappointing. However, based on today’s food quality and the way the issue was handled, I don’t plan to return.

I was recommended this place by a friend and I was genuinely overly satisfied. Food was delicious, definitely recommend the combo plate as well as a side of hummus. We enjoyed that the entree was accompanied by your choice of soup. Huge portions, great flavors, and kind staff. Would love to come back again soon!

I am from southern California and my Mediterranean cuisine. The standard are pretty high. This is will not disappoint you.It’s absolutely amazing. People there are so nice even though I didn’t ask for it. And I made a mistake on my order. She still gave it to me.. the falafel bowl with the shawarma and hummus it’s absolutely amazing highly recommend. When I come to chicago, this is pretty much one of my favorite place now…
