Listen to me, I've driven by this place so many times and wondered what's really good to eat here…read more Most of the time I was intimidated by the traffic here, and how cramped it can seem - but let me tell you, the food is WORTH IT, man! Just the bowl of lamb broth pre-meal is worth an hour of wait. I DREAM OF THAT BROTH, it was that good. I wanted to seek out the chef, and kiss his/her hands, but I don't have bail money, so I didn't. Their grilled fish was also to die for; booked through perfectly, and juicy, with a bunch of beautifully caramelized seasoning giving it a scrumptious yet delicate flavor. Baba Ghanoush can be had as a main, versus a side, the portion is aplenty, and the flavor is top notch; I prefer my ghanoush more chunky, but this is creamy and satisfying too! Overall, thoroughly satisfied, this is the kind of meal that will have you hating yourself for not getting here sooner! Go try it now..... it's not just about Yemeni Coffee, the food is amazing too!

Yemani Adni tea was good, but unfortunately was pre mixed with sugar - no other choice was possible. Appetizer of a breaded chicken Sandwitch was OK, the hummus left a lot to be desired. Only Lamb Mandi was good. Chicken Biryani was too oily. Could not understand the freshly made dessert of dates, cream and others. Service was with a smile. Staff was accommodating. I will give it another try after they have run the place for a few months and hopefully improved.

The chicken was cooked nicely and marinated well, so plenty of flavor. The garlic sauce was nice and gooey and really enhanced the flavor. Overall, this was a delicious wrap, but I wish it had something more like some onions or pickles. The interior is fairly nice and has some fun posters. Service was friendly and pricing was fair.

I really wanted a Shawarma in the last terrible rainstorm. We braved the flooding to come here…read more Everyone was super nice. They even gave us free juice for our daughter. The food was a little on the pricey side, but 100% worth it and can't wait to come back. We got both a chicken and beef platter. I was a bit, surprised about the up charge for some of the veggies and things I typically associate with coming on a Shawarma automatically. But it was so good we had to take seconds to take home. The inside is super clean and has a lot of fun and pictures on the walls. Can't wait to come back.

Mansaf is the national dish of Jordan and this is my first time trying it. I guess it's an acquired…read moretaste but I liked it a lot. It has yellow rice on top of ultra thin flatbread, lamb, yogurt sauce called jameed, and pine nuts. We got the tray for 1 and it came with a drink. It can feed 2-3 people. We also got an extra piece of lamb. I build muscle so I need that extra protein lol. It also comes with jalapeño, radish, onions, and arugula to add more flavor. We had leftovers to take home and we ordered 2 more extra meats. You can get this around Little Palestine but this place specializes in it. It's the only item they make. The lamb is perfectly cooked and it literally fell off the bone. They give you a spoon to eat. I also saw locals use gloves to eat. They wrapped the rice and meat into small balls. The yellow rice is very tasty, not sure if they use turmeric. The yogurt sauce is tangy, salty, and tart. This is located in a small strip mall and parking is very tight and limited. We parked in the back. The prices were good since you get a lot of food for your money. I would come back. Also, this is a small restaurant. They have about 5 tables. It was kind of busy on a Wed night after 7:30 pm. I would recommend coming here on a week night and avoid the weekends.

She refused to take my order over the phone but when my husband called she was more than willing to take the order, when i arrived to pick it up she was very rude and gave me so much attitude for no reason EVEN after i gave her a $20 tip to share with the kitchen workers. As i was asking her questions about the drinks because we had ordered meals she rolled her eyes and closed the window in my face. Management needs to make sure they hire better employees because you will lose customers as you lost me.

I've been wanting to try this place for awhile. I went to the Oak Lawn location because the Palos…read moreHills location has awful parking. It's awful because it's in a shared parking lot and it's a nightmare to find a spot. For some strange reason, the whole town of Oak Lawn decided to go to that shopping area where Baba Saj is, on a Wednesday night close to 8 pm. Let that sink in. Just a warning, people here can't drive or walk, I wouldn't be surprised if accidents occur here weekly. Aside from that, they have plenty of parking spaces when available. Baba Saj wasn't busy at all. The restaurant is beautiful. I love the interior and I like that they have a patio area to eat in front of the fountain. We ordered a mixed shawarma meal, steak shawarma bowl, and a sfeha flatbread. The staff here is nice. I forgot the name of the older woman but she gave us an extra bowl for free. They gave us a chicken shawarma bowl instead of steak. They didn't want to take the chicken shawarma bowl back so they just put it in a bag and gave it to us. Prices aren't bad. -mixed shawarma meal 4.5 - the mixed meat (steak and chicken) were both very moist and tender. A lot better than Haifa in Orland Park. The fries weren't bad but I would have preferred them to be crispy. These leaned more on the soggy side like McDonald's. I gave it a 4.5 because I wished the shawarma portion was bigger. -steak shawarma bowl 3 - I told my gf this but stop getting bowls. If you want to really experience the shawarma, always get it in a flatbread or pita. Never in a bowl. The meat loses moisture in the open air thus making it taste dry. -sfeha flatbread 4.5 - this was pretty tasty. The meat is moist but the bread on the outside can get slightly dry.

Falafel I have tried typically lacks flavor and is so dry I have to drink it with water. The falafel here was moist enough to stand on its own and had a great flavor. I would consider ordering the falafel again even if I am not skipping meat for a day. The hummus was also delicious and tasted fresh. The interior of the restaurant is pretty clean-cut and they have hand sanitizer and food gloves at each table. The mint-olive green booths and chairs give off a diner feel, even though it is a relatively modern interior. I definitely plan to return the next time I'm in the area!
