Chicken shawarma on Iraqi bread
Jeremías C.

I had their chicken shawarma sandwich on Iraqi bread, lentil soup and a 6 piece falafel. I really enjoyed their food. I ordered on their website. Food was ready on time and they actually gave me more falafels than 6. The chicken sandwich was loaded with chicken. The lentil soup was piping hot and very flavorful. The falafel were really good. It was interesting cause the falafel wasn't green inside it was white. I didn't eat inside but it was clean inside. I'd definitely go back.

1/2&1/2 Shawarma Plate Lentil Small Turshi
Mary H.

The service here is superb. Even though it's a fast-casual spot, the staff is genuinely attentive and treats you with care. Despite the place being packed, I got my food quickly. And the food is PHENOMENAL. Hands down the best Mediterranean I've had. I'd recommend it to anyone. It's absolutely worth trying, and chances are, you'll find yourself coming back. Also, the garlic and Amba sauces are top tier. I could go on and on about this place.

Beef Shawarma Arabi Plate
Johnny K.

The best place for authentic Iraqi style middle eastern food. I come every Friday for a bowl of the lentil soup and the beef shawarma arabi style. Food is made to order, but worth the wait. Staff is always very friendly and welcoming, and the Assyrian music and ambiance throughout makes it feel like home.

Have only been here once - Pretty decent arab food but I don't think the quality for the price is better than Pita Inn or Zad.

I'm glad I finally got a chance to try it. There's parking on both sides of the building, which I…read morethink has been the issue when I've visited in the past--not seeing parking in the place I thought was for them. The deli is the main attraction, and we got a couple sandwiches. I got a reuben, their leanest cut, and it was really good. There was so much meat--too much for me, but it is super filling. They also have a bakery, though I didn't pick anything up from there. There's lots of soups, too, which I'll probably pick up if I visit again. There are some specialty foods, and they have some tables both in and outside if you'd like to stay a while.

Stopped in for a quick bite…read more I really think you should examine the menu before going there are a lot of choices. Once I got the hang of ordering. Place the order at one end of the counter and you pick it all the way on the end. They take the sandwich in back to finish it. I ordered a corned beef on an onion roll. While I waited they have a nice selection of baked goods. Cookies, bread and desserts!! The decor is eclectic with nice nods to delis. I received my sandwich and ate outside, because the indoor dining area was full. My sandwich was really good, I would like a little extra mustard next time. The meat was tender and flavorful. The pickles they give you are top notch.

I offered The Fry Fusion as one of three dinner options offered to my aunt for her annual bingo…read morebirthday outing and she chose it, probably due to the breasted chicken on the menu. 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. I would make the drive for the broasted chicken again! I wish The Fry Fusion all the success!

We ordered the zinger burger combo meal, 6 piece chicken, mango lassi, and lotus pudding. The food had generous portions. The chicken skin was very crispy and the meat was juicy. The sauce definitely adds another layer to it. I really enjoyed the zinger burger. Lotus pudding is highly recommended, it's not sweet or salty. Prices were fair. I would come back.

I think an earlier reviewer is correct and they changed owners and/or management. Went by today to…read moretreat friends and was pretty disappointed. The food just was not what we were expecting. We expected Cultura Subs but what we got was a shadow of what we experienced before. The service was very accommodating, but slooow to get their version of jibarito sandwiches served up. They were subpar; even if they had the OG recipes, the execution was mid or below. The serving of yuca fries tasted similar to what we had before, but they served it with ketchup and not the original delicious homemade sauce. I doubt I will go back. Sayonara, OG Cultura Subs ;_;

Some standouts for me were the steak jibarito, the Philly cheesesteak, and the shawarma bowl. The staff also gave us a freebie which was so thoughtful of them! I think it was an app, but I honestly didn't get to try it since my partner devoured it before I got a chance. No matter, we were stuffed regardless! We ordered takeout, and the food was still hot when we tucked in. I can only imagine the menu is even better in person. If you're in the mood for some cultural crossover cuisine, I highly recommend Cultura Subs if you're in the area!

You don't have to go to Turkey for really good Turkish food, you just have to go to Morton Grove!…read morecame here for date night with my husband and it did not disappoint. There's parking available (always a plus), very cute decorations inside and gives a very welcoming energy when you walk in. A friend recommended this place and said the food is incredible and she did not lie! We started with lahmacun, which is a super thin, crispy Turkish flatbread topped with seasoned minced lamb meat, peppers, onions, herbs and spices. You usually add some fresh greens, a squeeze of lemon, roll it up, and eat it. It was SO good. For our main entrees, I went with the Iskender beef, and Enis got the chicken platter. His came with grilled chicken, rice, salad and a yogurt sauce. I don't know how explain iskender aside from its top tier Turkish food. Our waitress was extremely amicable and nice- always checking in on us and asking if we needed anything. Greatly appreciated her! We tried the baklava and it too was delicious- highly recommend this place to anyone looking to try halal Turkish cuisine!
