    The food was very tasty and the portions were big. The owner is very kind and friendly and creates such a nice, welcoming atmosphere. We were even treated to a delicious soup before our meal arrived, which was a lovely surprise. Highly recommend this place!

    I picked up a carryout Adam's platter for $20.99 and paid $23.88 all-in.  Overall, I say about 4.5 stars for the quality and value but I knocked it back a star (so 3.5 stars rounded to 4) because they charged an unannounced and unadvertised 4% credit card fee which I didn't register until I looked at the receipt later.  I don't like surprises like that out of principle and being a senior Asian guy, I carry cash anyway which I could have used. Rant over, I thought the food quality and portions were quite good.  The platter even included a lamb chop, again unadvertised but a pleasant surprise adder to the kefta and chicken shawarma protein items.  I don't know if a lamb chop is normally included, but I'm guessing probably not as it's not advertised and it's a premium item.  The salad, hummus, and pita bread were good quality also.  Like an ice cream shop, customers come and go in waves to this hidden and small strip mall location.  I had a little wait (about 15 minutes) at 7:30pm as a couple was ahead of me and the lone attendant took care of a carryout order also.   Overall, thumbs up, but do put a sign up about your convenience fee.

    Maybe the freshest  falafel I've ever eaten. They make them fresh to order, so crispy on the outside and packed with moist flavor inside.

    Since it's been three years since my first visit to Adam's Kabab, I thought I would update my first review to basically say the food here is as good as ever. Owner Jamal sure knows how to cook fresh felafel, among other things. His chicken shawarma is easily the best in the area. He always makes the falafel fresh. It's crispy to the bite and extremely flavorful and moist inside. Also love the stuffed grape leaves. You get a mountain of great food with every dinner. Mmm, so good.

    Adams Kabob in Glenview is a nice little place for some Mediterranean food. It wasn't busy when I went in on a Sunday afternoon. I took a few minutes to look over the menu and then decided on the Adam Kabob platter that comes with a little bit of everything and the Jerusalem fries. I enjoyed how the food is cooked to order so I didn't mind the little bit of wait to get piping hot food. The Jerusalem fries were interesting, I wish it came with more feta cheese because that was my favorite part about it. The fries itself did not stand out to me all that much. I wasn't sure what I was expecting. The Adams Kabob combo comes with rice, hummus, salad, falafel, pita, chicken schwarma, beef. It is a nice little around the menu eats. I enjoyed the portion size I had enough leftover for another meal. I enjoyed how everything was seasoned and cooked. The sauces that were provided on the side added a nice touch to the meal too. Plenty of people call and order ahead and came and picked up. Now I know.

    Wonderful Mediterranean fast casual restaurant with super fresh food! Absolutely huge steak kabob served with rice, nicely dressed salad and hummus. Made fresh while we waited. Chicken shawarma was also super tasty and served with all of the same accompaniments. Portions easily feed two. They also gave us complementary lentil soup that was very tasty. Everything was gluten free as well. Definitely recommend!

    This is a nice no frills kinda joint, the interior is small, just a few tables. No drink machine, only bottled and can options. You buss yourself but the gentleman did bring the food to the table, so there is some service. That all said, the food was very good. I got the chicken shawarma sandwich which comes wrapped in a large pita with potatoes inside as well. Excellent flavors but I did get some gristle which was the only low point. The falafel was very tasty and not oily at all. The dipping sauces were good, I found the white sauce a bit watery but enjoyed the spicy sauce and the chunkier yogurt sauce. The Jerusalem potatoes were excellent. I like the way they cut them and the extra seasoning is a nice touch. The crispy ones were the best, but not all of them were perfect. The feta that came with the fries was good quality as well. I'd definitely come back and try some other stuff.

    I got the chicken shawarma and it was amazing. It's the traditional meat + Fries combined together. A+. The staff is very friendly too.

    We're in town during Thanksgiving for the first time in a decade. I ordered all the sides from…read moretowne and oak (delish), the pies from three tarts (perfection) and then I need a turkey. I checked Yelp and ordered from Hofherr Meat based on the stellar reviews. I often peek into Hofherr Meat when walking into Shred415 so was excited to finally try it! About 2 days before I was telling a friend where i got my turkey and she asked me how i plan to cook it. Cook it?? It literally had not occurred to me that my turkey would be raw. If it's not obvious from this review and ALL my restaurant reviews the kitchen is not where I shine. I called Hofherr to ask if they could cook my turkey and while apparently they do that it was too late to put in the request. Good to know for next time. Wednesday morning I joined the rest of the North Shore to pick up my raw turkey. I ran into a friend while waiting for it who is more of an expert when it comes to making turkeys and she asked them to give me gravy, a turkey bag (apparently easier and lessy messy to cook in a bag) and some directions. The next day I followed their directions along with some help from my bestie chatgpt. I stuck it in the oven and crossed my fingers we wouldn't be going without a turkey this thanksgsiving. We had a little mishap when the thermometer melted into the turkey (oops), but besides that it really wasn't too difficult of a process. And while I had trouble eating a turkey after seeing it raw my family was thrilled that it was perfectly moist and praised my turkey making skills. I did have a few bites and did think it was pretty good- and i dont even like turkey. I would definitely get my turkey from here again, although next time i'll be ordering a cooked turkey out of convenience. But for those of you who like to cook a turkey I recommend them!

My boyfriend and I ordered chicken to share as well as waffle fries. My daughter ordered a burger. My aunt ordered chicken as well. My uncle ordered a bowl of sorts with rice and meat. The person taking our order was friendly, patient, and told us to move tables around to accommodate our party of five plus all of the food. The staff also kept giving us free items to try as we were eating, like French fries and a banana pudding. The banana pudding was not large enough to share with everyone so I waited until I was back in the car to head to bingo and split it with my boyfriend. It tasted like banana Laffy Taffy so I am not sure how I feel about that. The breasted chicken was cooked to order, hot, crispy, and had a little kick to it. The rice was flavorful. The onion rings were okay. The waffle fries were definitely superior to the traditional ones. The hamburger was good! The restaurant space was clean, quiet, and spacious.
