I was NOT ready for these portions LOL…read more Ordered from DoorDash the meat combo, chicken shish taouk, lentil soup, baba ganoush, and beef kefta kabab. The meat combo was definitely enough for 2 people or 3 meals for me. Love the orange rice! Kefta was tasty, shish taouk was very flavorful. I wanted the baba to have a little more flavor to it and would've like the lentil soup to be a little thicker. Overall a solid meal and would order from again!

Stopped into Pita Zone for lunch and had a great experience. I was kindly greeted right away, and…read morethe restaurant itself was clean and welcoming, always a good first impression. They offer an affordable lunch option for under $11 that includes food and a drink, which is hard to beat. I went with the lunch pita, and it did not disappoint. The pita itself was flavorful and fresh, and the fries were perfectly crisp and well-seasoned, honestly better than expected. Solid Mediterranean food, fair pricing, and good service. Definitely a spot I'd come back to for lunch.

The food was poorly prepared and lacked flavor. The portions were small for the price, and the…read morepresentation looked like it had been thrown together with little care. I understand that takeout can be challenging, but accuracy and quality should still be a priority. Unfortunately, this meal was not worth the money, and I won't be ordering from here again.

Just happened to be in the area and decided to try this place since we had never been before…read more Walked into a delicious aroma, and knew right away we had made the right choice. I chose the Chicken Koobideh which was so juicy, I was shocked! I've had good Koobideh, but never this juicy and tender! Strong flavor, and hint of saffron, a true delight. I also ordered the Ghormeh Sabji - which is a soya (dill) based green stew with meat and beans, and when it first comes to the table, you're thinking this looks and smells like henna paste, but the taste is so beautifully complex - savory, bitter, buttery, and pure deliciousness in every bite!!!!! A must try for something different. Husband ordered the lamb shank, and it was tender and fall off the bone! The meat was soft and unctuous. It was served with this roasted garlic bulb that was roasted to perfection, taking the harshness of the garlic away and replacing it with a soft, buttery, jammy garlicky goodness that is to DIE for!!!! Lastly, my mom got the lamb and beef Koobideh and said it was soft and juicy as well. After food, we had their tea and it is absolute perfection. I take mine sweetened, but even unsweetened my mother found it perfect! Lastly, don't sleep on the DOOGH! That's that fermented yogurt drink that is tart, salty, and super refreshing! I almost didn't even wanna tell yall about it, but I reminded myself that gatekeeping is a cardinal sin! And finally, the ambiance and the service is AMAZING. So gracious, so soft spoken, so generous and just kind to boot. The food is delicious but I'd come back just to see these smiling faces!!!

What a true gem of a find!…read more This is a small place in a small strip mall. The manager and the food are outstanding! My husband ordered a chicken and rice dish, I ordered the vegan dill rice. Very few places serve dill rice, but it delicious and one of my favorite foods. I rarely cook dill rice, because of how time-consuming preparing dill is to separate from the stems. The manager came by to ask how our food was, to which I replied, "Excellent, but this dill rice has no lima beans or fava beans." He informed me that he has had customers that are allergic to lime beans, but is happy to include them if they are requested when ordering. He also said that they will make any menu item modification when requested. They have a menu board as well as QR code menus. Top place for people of any dietary need/choice!

The food here was excellent, both in flavor and value. I'm already planning on going back for more. Bread $4 - Good flavor bread, light golden crust and chewy in the middle. Turkish Style Liver $12 - Lightly breaded, crispy on the outside, well done. Fried Manti with beef $13 - This was like a giant gyoza. My friend loved it, but I would pass on it next time. Wedding Plov $14.50 - Very tasty and keeps you going back for more. Kavurma Lagman $16 - Noodle dish like I've never had before, would order again. Honey Cake $8 - Not only adorable, but a delicious layered cake that is not too sweet. .|\---/| | @_@ | ..\_^_/..2026

We were looking for something more unique for dinner and came across Shahirizada…read more We started with a half order of bread and two samsas. The bread was a good starter and came with a light tomato sauce. The samsas were also a good starter...warm and flaky. The pumpkin one was my favorite! For our main meal, we shared the wedding plov and a lamb and lulya kabob. The wedding plov came in a portion that can easily be shared between 2-3 people. The dish itself is pretty simple but I enjoyed it! The lamb kabob was a bit overcooked (still good though) and the lulya kabob was so tender and perfect. The food was good and fit exactly what we were craving. The service was also good but a bit slow at times. It's hard to believe all this food came out to less than $50.

So good! Had the combo kabob! Both steak and chicken were great. Love the garlic sauceread more

Checked out this restaurant in Yorkville to get Middle Eastern food. Flame Kabob has a limited menu…read morecompared to other places. It has a lot of choices that are meaty and these even include salads. Also kind of a hectic atmosphere. There's not a whole lot of room inside for tables. Basic looking place in a strip mall with other places to eat. It's somewhere after going past it enough times I got a craving for a falafel wrap so finally we came in. They got a much more limited menu that really made us struggle to choose something. A few okay things to get. There's a counter to order that and they bring it out. It's about $7 to get the dolmanthes. These are the classic stuffed grape leaves. It's about $8 to get hummus. This is pretty much the extent of the vegetarian options. Someone forgot to put falafel on the menu. They have plenty of chicken though. Crappy. The lunch was okay but it seemed not that fresh to be honest. Fairly okay food if liking gyros and kabobs because that's mostly all they actually got. It's one of the few restaurants of this cuisine to not have any falafel on the menu which is crazy stuff. There's a few items for vegetarians but these are sides or whatever.

I genuinely cannot say enough good things about Mazala Pizza. I've visited multiple locations over…read moretime, and every single experience has been consistently exceptional. No matter what I order, I walk away impressed -- the quality, the flavor, and the attention to detail never miss. At this point, I've tried almost everything on the menu, and somehow each dish manages to stand out in its own way. Their new tostada pizza is an absolute game-changer -- easily one of the most unique and satisfying meals I've had. Every bite is perfectly balanced: crispy textures, incredibly fresh ingredients, and sauces that are clearly made with care and intention. Beyond the food, the atmosphere at this location is fantastic. The space is huge and perfect for gathering with friends and family, whether it's a casual meal or a celebration. The staff is always welcoming, friendly, and genuinely makes you feel taken care of. What really speaks volumes is that I've even had Mazala Pizza at a few weddings -- and without fail, it was the highlight of the evening and the most talked-about food by guests. I will absolutely continue supporting Mazala Pizza and recommending it to everyone I know. Whether you're dining in, grabbing takeout, or looking for catering, this is hands down one of the best choices you can make.

It was our first time dining at Milliy Family Restaurant, and we had such a wonderful experience!…read moreThe restaurant is spotless and thoughtfully designed -- there's even a kids' playground inside, which is a total game-changer for parents like us who don't have grandparents nearby for date nights. The kids had a blast playing, which meant we actually got to enjoy a peaceful dinner. 100 bonus points for that, Milliy! Our server, Venera, was an absolute delight -- friendly, knowledgeable, and so attentive. We truly felt welcomed and well taken care of. And the food... oh, the food! I'm still dreaming about the samsa and lulya kebab. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious -- from the Beef Stroganoff, Milliy Salad, Uzbek Bread, Borsch, Olivie Salad, and Herring Royale Salad, to the Gulyash and Beef Kabobs. Every dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully prepared. We had such a great time and honestly can't wait to go back soon!

To start, I'll admit I'm not an expert on Uzbek cuisine, though I do enjoy food from that part of…read morethe world. The space: The restaurant itself is inviting--clean, nicely decorated, and even equipped with a kids' play area, which makes it feel well-suited for families and larger gatherings. The service: Service felt on the slower side, but I later realized there's a call button on the table--likely the system they use for ordering, asking for help, or requesting the check. A good tip for first-time visitors: press the button when you're ready. The food: I ordered the Palov, a traditional rice dish with lamb chunks and a quail egg. Unfortunately, it wasn't to my taste. The rice and lamb leaned overly greasy, leaving a coating in my mouth long after the meal. The lamb itself was decent when hot, but quickly became dry as it cooled. It's not a dish I'd order again. Overall: Milliy Family Restaurant has a welcoming space and friendly staff, but the flavors and preparation just didn't work for me personally. While I appreciate the experience, I don't see myself returning
