Terrifically fresh falafel, decent baba, very good lavash, and good hummus. Overall a great value and we got friendly service. Bonus: Fries were excellent. Did not get/try any torshi, will ask for next time. read more

Just went here to order a gyro sandwich for $12 and received the tiniest portion I have ever received from a local Mediterranean place. Have to be honest the price doesn't match the food you receive. I know at least 3 nearby places that give you way more for the same or less price. Please work on your portion sizes or else your place isn't worth it Also had a friend order separately and the workers never called out his order. He had to ask if his order ready and it was just sitting on the counter for 8 mins already at that point. Do better read more

Falafel & Grill was a pleasant surprise for me. It was late at night and I had a strong taste for some grilled meat and rice, so I was looking for a late night place in Yelp and came across this joint. I am familiar with the area but didn't know that this restaurant was located in this small strip mall. I pass this strip mall all the time when going to the Alamo Drafthouse for movies, but never thought about pulling into here due to the small parking lot and that it is always crowded. Walking into the restaurant, there is a kiosk where you can order your food. As it was late and I just wanted to eat and not make a lunch for tomorrow, I ordered a Spinach Pie and a Combination Meat Plate (Beef kabob, Kifta kabob, Chicken Kabob and Chicken shawarma. Served with Rice, Salad, Hummus and pita bread) so I could have leftovers to take to work the next day. I placed my order, paid for it and had to wait for about 15 minutes to get my food. While waiting, I was able to look around the restaurant to see it was clean and brightly lit. The table and floors were clean and there were a few customers dining inside. The staff was nice and friendly as well. I got my food home and was pleasantly surprised at the amount of food in the combo dish. There was a good amount of meat and rice, enough for two people easily. The combo dish is $25 but well worth it. The meat was cooked nicely and had good flavor. As good as that combo dish was, that Spinach pie was on point! The flavor was great and the dough was nice and fluffy/tasty. The food was so good that I decided to put in an order on Grubhub the next night to get it for dinner for later in the week. I wanted to place an order on Grubhub to get free delivery as a Prime member, but the online menu did not have the Spinach pies listed, so I ended up having to call into the restaurant to place my order. When you call into the restaurant, they take your number and will send you a link to pay for your order and to send them your address and delivery instructions. I ordered the same items again, but got extra Spinach pies and a Greek Salad with chicken as well. The delivery guy was nice and brought my food up to me as instructed. The salad was fresh and there was plenty of Chicken Shawarma on top of it. I ended up having that for dinner as well as one of the Spinach pies and it was delish. The Chicken Shawarma was very nice and again, this was a decent size salad and was filling along with the pie. I definitely want to go back to try some of the other dishes that they have, like the wraps and the gyro plate and/or wrap. There is a lentil soup I would also like to try as well. I would definitely recommend Falafel & Grill for eats. read more

Such a cute spot! There's plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors under the covered patio, and the service is quick and welcoming. The real highlight, though, is the food. We tried the chicken kabob, chicken shawarma sandwich, beef kabob, and of course a falafel--and every bite was delicious. A solid place worth visiting! read more

I opened my maps app and checked a 1.5 mile radius around this place and determined it is THE BEST quick lunch spot -- particularly if you consider the massive portion size for the money. The value is off the charts. The staff is incredibly friendly and the restaurant itself is very clean. Honestly thrilled to have this little gem of a restaurant in the neighborhood. What an incredible spot. read more

Falafel and grill is an amazing fast causal resturant with two locations in Chicago and a third on the way. I can't recommend this spot enough if you love Mediterranean food! The falafel wrap was one of a kind and it was so flavorful, one of the best I've had! All of the portions are huge! The come with hummus and salad which is always such a treat!! read more

Amazing food. I especially loved the chicken scharma wrap. I would definitely recommend.

When craving falafel, this is the place to go! They're very quick and everything is always hot. The falafel is never dry and the garlic sauce is divine. It's more of a takeout spot for me, but it could be a cute sit down moment. read more

Their food was good and flavorful! The service was fast, they have both counter service and a kiosk for ordering. The location was clean and the food came out quick! I love Mediterranean food, and although it was my first time trying falafel and grill...it won't be my last! They're located in a strip, so there's a parking lot! read more

I can't believe it has taken me so long to come here! I live nearby and every once in awhile it's nice to grab lunch out when the fridge is empty or I don't have time to cook. I met my parents and husband here around 1:30 for a quick lunch. The inside is so cute! It's bright, clean, and simplistic. To be honest, I was so hungry I didn't even look at the menu and instead ordered the first thing I saw, a chicken shawarma platter. The flavorful, thinly sliced chicken is served with rice, a small salad, hummus, and pita bread. Everything was very tasty, and the serving size was huge! More than enough to take home, and they had to-go boxes readily available which was great. My mom ordered the babaganoush and it was fantastic! I actually think I preferred it slightly to the hummus, but both were excellent. She also ordered the lentil soup and said that was great as well. We all really enjoyed our meals, and I'm excited to come back and try more of the menu. The kabobs and falafels are next on my list to try! read more

Can't believe it took me this long to discover this place. Talk about a great combination of fast efficient clean and tasty. This place fires on all cylinders. I ordered a meat combination, a side of falafel and a cup of lentil soup. Everything was delicious. I'm from the Middle East and everything tasted authentic. The restaurant has a nice clean atmosphere and friendly service. It seems to be a busy spot frequented by lots of cab and uber drivers. This for me is usually the sign of a hidden gem. Restaurant is located on the southwest corner of Clark and Montrose in a busy strip mall. But there was available parking even on a busy night. I will absolutely be coming back and strongly recommend for quality authentic middle eastern food. read more

Falafel & Grill - Steak kabobs chicken kabobs falafel and rice. - Mediterranean Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Great service, great food, friendly staff! Inviting ambiance and very clean. Great food portions and the best hummus...the wraps and salads are really good as well. read more

I ordered the beef kebab platter not the cheapest. The salad was old and the hummus was milky with a liquid puddle at the bottom. It looked more like hummus soup. The pita bread was very dry and maybe old. The rice was excellent and the beef was excellent. For the price I paid definitely will not be ordering from here again good luck. read more

I love this place, but out of principle am having a hard time continuing to order, which is sad. They don't include sauces with anything! It would be like McDonald charging for ketchup or Taco Bell charging for sauce. I pay $25 for their combo plate and then have to pay $.75 each for any sauces I want. At least two sauces should come with a $25 entree and one sauce with each wrap or gyro. It just seems so greedy. I really hope they consider at least including one sauce with everything! read more

Delicious food; the extra sauces are worth it. Tzatziki, garlic, hot sauce....all so good

We had the chicken shawarma plate and it was incredible! We will be back! Also, the service was top notch! read more

Falafel & Grill - Chicken Shawarma Plate - Mediterranean Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Ordered (direct from website instead of a third party app to support) at 5:50pm and quoted 6:35pm delivery. After the delivery was 30 mins late, called to inquire and the store said they would call the driver for an update.... Another 30 mins went by with no call or delivery, so I called back for an update and they said they could not contact the driver (yet never contacted me) so I asked to cancel the order. The store agreed, however the driver eventually showed up another 15 mins later, called - and when I told him I had canceled he left the food anyway (which was ice cold to the touch). Total circus, won't order again. read more

Update- food and service as good as ever. Falafel wrap and gyro wrap were great. Baba ganoush is perfect and the pitas were fresh and pillowy. Great place for middle eastern food. read more

Falafel & Grill is my go-to fast-casual spot in the neighborhood. I'm here at least once a week, and it's consistently excellent. The food is great across-the-board. The Chicken Shawarma wrap and gyro sandwich are my go tos. The kabob plate is a steal for the quality and portion size. Service is fast every single time, prices are fair, and the staff is always polite and welcoming. The restaurant is clean, organized, and easy to get in and out of even during a rush. This is exactly what great fast-casual should look like: reliable food, good people, no hassle. A neighborhood staple. read more

Came with a large group on a late Sunday afternoon. Easy to order, kiosks available but can also just order with the staff behind the counter. I was soooo wowed by the menu. I am usually stuck between ordering falafel and shawarma, but they have solved this with the perfect answer, a falafel AND chicken shawarma wrap. How fantastic is that?! Food came out fresh and the hummus is out of this world! I cannot recommend this place enough! read more

delicious food and such generous portions. The ambiance was nice and spacious as well. Service was quick and fresh. I'd come back.

Generous servings. Order, pay and pick up at the counter. Food was good, falafel had a slight kick and were slightly spicy. Rice was very good. Spacious and clean. read more

I've been back here so many times, I need to jump in and give another 5-star review. The food is amazing!! It's about 20 bucks for a chicken shwarma that lasts 2 meals. The place is always clean, and the food is fresh. Highly recommend. read more

Always been a fan of quality Mediterranean food and this place does a great very consistent job of putting together some standard high-quality ingredients into a lovely grilled meal read more

I may have just found my new go-to Mediterranean take out spot! Falafel & Grill is serving fresh, flavorful Lebanese food, an array of menu options that will leave you more than satisfied. The hummus is rich and silky smooth, while the falafel are light and airy on the inside, with a nice crunch on the outside. The grape leaves are also quite tasty, with a really nice texture and mouthfeel (though I could have done without the olives). The Jerusalem salad is a nice palette cleanser, not overly drenched in sauce. The tabbouleh was a bit too heavy on the dressing, but clearly flesh. The pita was excellent, like the hummus something you'd more expect to find at a finer dining establishment. The inside of the restaurant is clean and bright, many families were enjoying meals as I picked up my order. Everything is served quite quickly as well. I may have wanted a little more for $16, but overall portion sizes look very reasonable for the price tag. A big step up from your run-of-the-mill spots, worth the extra few bucks. read more

Falafel & Grill - Veggie Combination - Mediterranean Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Falafel & Grill was an unexpectedly good experience, because we weren't expecting to even go. It was just a place we happened across while being hungry. Lots of the classic favorites are on the menu. Big portions at okay prices make it a pretty good deal. There's lots of vegetarian friendly items like falafel and pitas. As the name implies, it has falafel of course. I certainly recommend getting something that has it. The best sounding item was the Falafel Plate. It's about $13, but it came with a lot. We got a plate for sharing. Filling and glad we shared it. There was a ton of falafel, along with hummus, pita bread, rice, and salad. Other menu items available include grape leaves and waffle fries. The falafel wraps look pretty big and I would like to get one. Get anything that has falafel because it's the best thing you can get here. It's big and crispy falafel balls either in a pita or on a plate. There's too much good stuff. read more

Falafel & Grill - Falafel Plate - Mediterranean Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

One of my fav mediterranean places to eat at! Their food quality is the guys working behind the counter are always nice and helpful! The restaurant and bathrooms are clean. You order at the cashier and usually the food is ready in less than 10 minutes piping hot and fresh. The combo meals are a great value for larger appetites as they come with salad and hummus while the wraps are a great option for a lighter fare. We probably visit this place monthly and have never been disappointed and always have leftovers to take home. The small parking lot is also a huge plus for this area! read more

Falafel & Grill - Kebab combo with hummus and baba ganoush - Mediterranean Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

It is a serviceable sandwich, I have not tried their shawarma so this is for the falafel only, which was good.

Food was great and tasted very fresh . Recommend the combo plate and chicken shawarma !

Love this place. We eat here all the time. Simple, great food that won't bust the wallet. It's always a good day when we get Falafel and Grill! read more

It's OK. Not like it used to be. They had kabobs. Quantity is less compared to past. Taste is good. But how can one feed himself with half a pita? read more

Highly recommended Mediterranean/Middle Eastern grill serving the traditional popular classics in beautiful presentation and generous portion sizes. Food: Falafels - 5/5 - delicious balls of fried chickpeas Hummus - 5/5 - absolutely perfect creamy and savory Greek salad either with gyro / beef / chicken shawarma Gyros (pita sandwich / plate) - 5/5 - excellent, fresh, quality ingredients; light and refreshing along with lightly salted protein of your choice Combination meat platter (chicken kabob, beef kabob, kufta/ground lamb mixed with spices) - 5/5 - freshly grilled on the spot, so it takes longer wait time; but you won't be disappointed with the taste and the generous size Mixed shawarma (chicken & beef) platter - 5/5 - again fantastic generous cuts of seasoned meat with rice, salad and pita bread with rich creamy hummus Ambience: Bright, modern and welcoming fast-casual. Love how the gyro and shawarma meats is close to the window to show off their meats. Service: Fast, very friendly read more

Ordered 2 falafel sandwiches, buy 1 get 1 free. Decent flavor and texture Hummus is good with a bit of sourness Falafel is really good. Not chalky at all. Crispy outside with tender inside Mixed beef& gyro plate: gyro taste great. Right amount of tenderness and fat/meat balance. Beef is too dry. Not much veggie in it. Lots of carbs and pretty dry to eat it by itself Big portion so it's good deal. And super fast. read more

This has become our go to place for delicious Mediterranean fast food. Falafel & Grill is located in an unassuming strip mall at the corner of Montrose and Clark. But that's a good thing because there is plenty of parking, and they have a large, sparkling clean space. The menu has all of the typical Middle-Eastern food favorites, but it's all fresh, delicious and served fast. Their hummus is silky, smooth and served with herbs, whole chickpeas and soft pita...it's addictive. The chicken used in the kabobs is marinated so it's juicy and flavorful...the rice on the side is fluffy and perfectly cooked. The salads are fresh and delicious. Their falafels are crispy and perfectly seasoned. Some reviewers have commented about high prices, but the portions are big, the quality is high...and one order of kabobs is enough to feed two people. Lately, we have been opting to order an extra kabob, and a side appetizer (like the falafels), so we can get four meals out of one order. Service is friendly and efficient, and orders are prepared quickly. The dining room is sparkling clean and bright. There is no horsing around at this place with disengaged and disinterested workers. If you live in the area (or even if you do not live in the area), give Falafel & Grill a try. It's really good. read more

Impressed. Portions crazy flavor in point. And fast af. Employees seem happy and greeted me with a smile. Where am I? I'll be back 100% read more

I have been going to this amazing restaurant for ever. When I was pregnant with my 18 year old son this is all I craved. I'm so bummed that I'm moving to DC ON Monday. Going to miss my fattoush with extra dressing. Love the owners, they are the best!!! read more

Great falafel sandwich! Huge! They have won me over from my prior falafel shop. My daughter got the beef shawarma and gave it a 5 star rating read more

It's a ton of OK food. It's not great, it's not at all bad, it's solidly average. The deli was very clean and the servings are large, so those can definitely be considered positives. Their falafel plate was fine, but the falafel was very crunchy, the salad was drenched in dressing, and the hummus didn't have the texture of traditional hummus. My husband thought his pita sandwich was fine, but he enjoyed the waffle fries more. The highlight for both of us was the mint lemonade, which with ice to water down the sweetness a bit, is an amazing drink. read more
