    Cocktails were great
    Doaah A.

    When my friend brought me and my sister here it was such a nice experience! Place was packed, the drinks were great, the hookahs were perfect, and the SHAWARMA is even better!!! Grabbed 4 shawarmas to take back to Miami!! They don't make the sandwiches there in the cafe but they can order it from their restaurant and bring it to you, not far from the cafe! Took about 15min from the time I ordered and it arriving on my table! This place is nice and big! The employees were so polite and attentive to us and our hookahs (bonus) They even open earlier than the ones I know of! 12pm is pretty good! They have valet for those who can't find parking and there's no charge (no one works for free so please be nice and tip!) We came from Miami and enjoyed four beautiful nights smoking here! Even attended one of their live concert nights! Which was exciting and energizing! It's a bit pricey to be honest and they don't show you what your ordered on the bill which leads you to possibly over paying. I realized after I left the last day that the water bottle they first bring you when you get seated will be charged on your bill. Some of us ordered other drinks and forgot about our water bottles and ended up leaving them untouched yet still paid for. The problem with this place is that they don't tell you certain things. For example the live singer we saw, they never told us when they were seating us that there will be a $10 cover charge to each person. They stayed silent. Even when we called twice earlier that day and they didn't even mention it. Also the water bottles we're secretly paying for but not being told so. The bill is what bothered me the most. I hate going to places that do not provide you with what you ordered on the recipe. How else are we suppose to know if we're being cheated. Other than those issues I enjoyed my time there. Definitely need to fix these issues cause as I can tell from other reviews, you could be losing many more future customers.

    A huge surprise while visiting the Chicago suburbs - my wife and I are taking an alcohol break, and we came across this place searching for a fun date night without booze. Hookahs are super high quality, the woman who handles the flavors is extremely talented and came out before we ordered to offer suggestions and ended up making a custom combination for each of us. Great selection of imported non-alcoholic drinks and fruit cocktails. They also brought out some complimentary snacks which were delicious and went perfectly with our drinks. The entire staff were welcoming and pleasant, and the price is an excellent value for a really fun date. Highly recommended!

    Lemon Mint Hookah always hits the spot after a long days work! Mondays!

    I come here to Relax mentally and enjoy a great and friendly environment! The hookahs and staff are A1! In particular my (Short) and extremely (Kind) friend Ola Mohammed! She treats me like royalty and thats a understatement! My #1 place for my Lemon Mint Hookah and cup of Tea!

The customer service was top-notch: attentive, friendly, and perfectly timed without ever feeling rushed. The ambiance was just right -- warm lighting, comfortable seating, and a relaxed vibe that made it easy to unwind and enjoy good company. You can tell the owners put real care into creating a space that feels both elegant and inviting. And the food? Absolutely delicious. Every dish tasted fresh and perfectly seasoned -- you can tell everything is made with high-quality ingredients and love. The hookah was a great bonus -- smooth, flavorful, and added a fun, social touch to the evening. Overall, Fattoush delivers a perfect mix of great food, great energy, and great people. I'll definitely be back soon! Alderwoman Monet S. Wilson

Pot of Arabian coffee was fresh. The meat in the mixed grill was alright. The waitress was ditzy and not too attentive. When the waitress wasn't anywhere to be found I asked the bus boy for two to go boxes, he gave me a mean look and didn't speak. The waitress didn't serve water for my guest and I. Also she didn't ask if we wanted any dessert. I found better restaurants with much better service in the area that's where I will dine at in the future. Also the waitress didn't offer my guest and I any water or asked us if we'd like any dessert.
