First time...this place is Fantastic. The owner is the nicest person, offered me a few tastes and everything was great. I love PLANTAINS and his were perfect. His hand made Falafel was light, filled with flavor and delicious. His homemade sauce, spot on. He gave me the soup he made. Delicious. Highly recommend this spot. Reasonable fair prices, full quality meals. My new go to place. read more

Delicious, freshly prepared food. Very generous portions. Nice owner. I think it's better for carry out. Not much atmosphere.

Once again, this place didn't disappoint. We ordered multiple meals. The meat was cooked and marinated to perfection. The chicken was so tender. This place makes some of the best falafel. The place maybe small, but we really believe it is one of the food hidden gems in the area. read more

Hands down the best I've ever had. Don't be discouraged, I tried to look at The menu on their website but it was hacked and the link takes you to a gambling website. I almost didn't go in but I was curios and went inside and ordered. I must say that I felt very welcomed and after waiting a bit the food was ready. I decided to look at it while parked and it looked very good I started to eat. Perfectly seasoned. The taste was perfect, like a home cooked meal. My compliments and although I'm far and was just passing by, I will return. A must go to!!!! read more

Highly recommend Adam's Kabob (Waukegan and Lake, Glenview) for their wonderful service and amazing Mediterranean dishes! The manager was extremely kind and very caring. I ordered catering for a party of 8 and the food was excellent and reasonable! My daughter, granddaughter and myself was served complimentary lentil soup while I was ordering my food. Genuinely a very good person. It was the first time there and will be back soon! read more

Excellent food with large portions! I highly recommend this place. Sadly I moved to Florida, but make it a point to go there when home. read more

I ordered Adam's Platter along with some extra pita bread and falafel. The Adam's Platter is good to order if you are visiting for the first time since it is like a sampler. My friend commented that the portions are large. If I came alone, I would have ordered the chicken shawarma with hummus. read more

I went on a Wednesday for lunch, there was a small crowd (maybe 5 people). And somehow, I had to wait more than 30 minutes just for two sandwiches! I've never experienced such slow service at a casual spot. I don't know if it was a new employee or if they were short-staffed, but it was a really poor experience. Food was fine, but even if in time, was only about 3 stars. The pita/lads on the sandwich was cold. It would take a lot for me to return. read more

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! read more

Very generous owner!! Food is amazing and the portions are great. Way better than your average Mediterranean restaurant, definitely recommend read more

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

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. read more

Fabulous hummus, Shawerma, and yellow rice. A lady in line said she came there straight from the airport because she was craving their food. We had the Platter Combo to taste everything. The owner took his time to help me with a problem and followed-up on it later. I will be back! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Adam's Kebab is an absolute gem! The meat was perfectly seasoned and grilled to perfection, with just the right amount of char. Portions are generous, service is fast and friendly, and the prices are more than fair. Highly recommend! read more

What a great hidden gem in Glenview! I was in from out of town visiting family in the area, and had to pick a spot to pick-up dinner. After seeing some rave reviews we called in an order for pickup! Service was quick and easy - the staff was incredibly kind, even threw in an extra soup for us. I ordered the Chicken Shawarma salad - and this was huge and PACKED with chicken! It was basically a chicken dish on a bed of salad. Deliciously moist and filled with flavor, this lasted me multiple days and was delicious all the time! My boyfriend got the Kefta Kabob sandwich - also huge and devoured quickly since it was so delicious. Definitely recommend to anyone in the area! read more

I think I've eaten enough times here to write a review: The owner often cooks and brings the food, and seem to be motivated by family/cultural pride and putting good food on the table and not just the bottom line. I highly recommend Adam's Combo because ALL of the meat including the chicken, beef, falafel, etc. is high quality, well seasoned, and well portioned. The hummus and the hot/garlic sauces are very fresh. Comes with rice, salad, and pita. Middle Eastern/Mediterranean food is on my rotation of favorites, and this is the best I've encountered anywhere in the U.S! read more

Excellent food, all prepared fresh on the spot. Adam is a very friendly and generous person who obviously loves to cook for his customers using top-quality ingredients. While we were chatting after lunch, he kindly prepared some extra dishes for us to sample, and showed us where and how to find the special ingredients. read more

Amazing food, large portions, great customer service, family friendly and clean! Owner treated us with soup on the house and was very kind to our daughters. We would come back! read more

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. read more

This hole in the wall Mediterranean place is located on Waukegan rd between a Dunkin Donuts and Dominos. You just might miss it, however I wouldn't. While pricier then other Mediterranean restaurants in the area, this place delivers large portion sizes and ample meat. We tried the combination plate to share and it was certainly enough food. 4 large kefta, loads of chicken shawarma, and a nice chicken breast. Rice, pita bread, hummus, salad and several large falafel. The associate even told us he gave us extra. It was enough for a second meal. I was impressed by the quality of food. Stepping into the restaurant I assumed by the lack of people (2:00 pm awkward time) and the small restaurant that maybe the food wouldn't be fresh but I was definitely blown away. All the meats were PIPING hot, juicy and flavorful. The pita was very hot and soft. All 3 sauces provided were bomb. The hummus was flavorful and the the salad too, surprisingly so. Often salads that come with meals are bland. The large pieces feta in the salad definitely added a great flavor and some texture and the dressing was also tangy and really good. Overall the food is a bit on the salty side, for those who are salt conscious but great overall. All in all, I would definitely choose this place for carry out and as a dinner option because there is just so much food. I hope they stay around for many years to come, very delicious overall. read more

Everything was gluten free as well. Definitely recommend! read more

We had the best falafel and hummus at Adams Kabob. One entree is big enough for two; chicken shawarma was delicious. Great service and the people here are very nice, checked on us during the meal, threw in some extra falafel and surprised us with baclava dessert. Highly recommend read more

was our first time here and the experience was incredible. The food is so delicious, specifically, very high quality meat and perfect seasoning. Sauces were excellent. We also had the lentil soup which was by far the best we have ever had. I didn't know lentil soup could possibly taste this good. We've passed it so many times, now I'm regretting all the times I could have had it. Truly high quality food. Highly recommended! read more

Very good Food food , meat options & vegetarian too, friendly owner, some time if you have to wait for the food he gives you free soup, open for lunch and dinner, plenty of parking read more

Adams Kabob - Reception area - Mediterranean Near Me - Glenview, Illinois

Food was fantastic. The owner is very proud of his restaurant. He also knows how to treat a customer.

Its been a hot minute since we visited this place. I remember when this place first opened; so many great memories. Today we drove from Lincolnwood during rush hour to reminisce and it definitely did not disappoint. Im so glad this place hasn't changed over the years! The Shawarma is soooo moist and perfectly cooked. The falafel are still the best I ever had. Seriously I have yet to try a better falafel than this place and I live very close to the city. Everyone should frequent this place often and at the very least once; it is worth the drive and worth every penny. The portions are huge, the food was all great, and we have plenty of leftovers too. My only regret it not buying a dozen falafel. Also a HUGE plus is that it is gluten friendly (minus the homemade pita of course). See you in the future Adam. Thanks for the delicious dinner! read more

Fast, affordable, solid Mediterranean choice. Chicken shawarma sandwich - this was okay. It was unique in that it included chicken and potatoes, both of which were delicious, wrapped in a big, fluffy pita, but I missed the typical fresh ingredients that go along with it that gives it a refreshing crunch, like lettuce and tomatoes. It was really big though, very filling, and a good value. Grape leaves - this was a little pricier than expected considering there are only 8 for $10. It came on a bed of lettuce and tomatoes. The grape leaves were okay - wrapped with traditional rice, it was a little more sour than I would've liked and also tasted a little slimier than I'm used to, though it definitely had not gone bad. Falafels - $0.99 per, this was the winner. They are perfectly fried, good 3-4 bite size each, and the inside was perfectly seasoned and fluffy. read more

Just tried Adam Kabob for the first time. Outstanding! Delicious, authentic, very fresh and huge portions! Recommend highly. read more

Do you like falafel? When out and about and you stop by your local falafel shop, the falafel are ... overcooked and bland. Not at Adam's. Lightly cooked and very well seasoned, these were a joy to eat. Don't let the price deter you from visiting, the portions are large. The lentil soup (a dahl base) is made throughout the day. Dinner tonight, lunch tomorrow. Or just eat it all. Regret not having the homemade baklava. Next time! read more

Adam's Kabob is consistently great. The owner is congenial. The place is clean. The menu is full of the usual Mediterranean choices and there are lunchtime specials. The dishes are of a high quality. The offerings are generous. The falafel sandwich could be shared by most women. Perhaps devoured by most men and it would fill them up. Really delicious homemade goodies. We always stop here when we are in Glenview. Give this small business a try! read more

Firewood Kabob in Buffalo Grove was one of my favorite places, so I had to check out the owner's new place (new to me -- it's been open for 5 years!) in Glenview when I was in the area on July 11. Adam's Kabob didn't disappoint! The owner, Jamal, recognized me from 5+ years ago, and went to work, freshly preparing my order. The falafel sandwich, which came served as a large wrap with salad and tomato inside, was enormous and delicious. My friend, who ordered the same sandwich, and I both selected combo meals, which came with a canned beverage and a choice of sides. We shared our chosen sides, and both were great. The Jerusalem fries were nicely seasoned and hard to stop eating! The side of hummus was very generous, and I'll be eating it long after the accompanying pita bread is gone. Adam's Kabob is taking precautions during the pandemic, so while we ordered inside the restaurant, we were not allowed to stay there to eat. That worked out fine, as it was a beautiful day, so we drove across the street and sat at an empty picnic table. And, bonus -- we got to meet Adam, the owner's adorable and very polite young son. I'll plan to return to Adam's Kabob when I crave Mediterranean food. It was a good first experience, and we need to keep places like this around! read more

Adams Kabob - Falafel sandwich served in a pita wrap, with a side of hummus and pita bread. - Mediterranean Near Me - Glenview, Illinois

Great service! Delicious chicken schwarma sandwich! Amazing hummus! Jamal made us feel welcomed. We'll be back!

What a great family owned joint! I ordered four chicken tender entrees but with special requirements, no salad for two, no pita for one, and the owners response was "would you rather have it family style?" Absolutely perfect idea. After I told him it was our first time trying out Adam's Kabob, Jamal gave us a taste of the chicken shawarma. My wife immediately went said I should have ordered that but it was too late. We were committed. We were not wrong choosing the chicken tender either. Cooked perfectly and served on a bed of rice, it was delicious. We will be ordering the shawarma next time though. If you get a chance, this is worth a try. Especially the family style. read more

Omg-aaaaash!!! The Falafel here is the best I've ever had! I was about to head to Naf Naf after my dr apt as a treat for taking care of myself and saw this little gem! My lucky day! Yum! read more

Today I stopped by to grab dinner to go. I have never been before, but I left incredibly impressed. I ordered the kefta kebob entree. As I waited, the owner mentioned he was giving me soup to try along with my meal. I mentioned to him this was my first time and I was excited to try his food. He immediately began to give me samples of the chicken shawarma and sauces to try, along with even more chicken shawarma to go along with my entree to eat at home. The owner was incredibly kind and generous. The amount of food they provide is enough for several meals. This place is so worth the money. Please go check them out to help bring in more business. I am already looking forward to bringing my family here. Please spread the word. (It's way better than pita inn ;) read more
