    Falafel sandwich
    Jeffrey C.

    I ordered the spicy falafel sandwich (~$9), which comes in one giant pita bread and cut into two halves. The falafels were flavorful, full of spices, with a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior. Inside were also peppers to add more heat, perfect for my moderate spice tolerance! The lettuce and tomatoes, while not the highest quality, added some freshness ,and the hummus spread added additional flavor and nuttiness to the whole sandwich. I would rate this sandwich a 4.5/5 due to the flavors and the fairly low price. I would love to come back and try the Italian side!

    Greek salad with chicken
    Timothy C.

    Alright you yelpaholics! I am finally unveiling my review for 5 loaves. Found this gem luckily on yelp looking up food near me and found this gem! I've tried quite a few items from the menu everything was really good or amazing! This restaurant offers catering for large parties as well as just a quick meal to satisfy your foodie cravings! The restaurant is easy to miss for its tucked away in between some daycare centers. The beautiful girl told me the food is Egyptian, Italian, Greek food. Kinda a combo of all three. To me what makes this place great is the love and passion in the food! You can literally taste it. I'll try and keep this short here we go! The Greek salad was fresh with Greek olives it gives you a nice salty pallet with fresh bell pepper and cherry tomatoes to go along with feta and creamy dressing so good! Even the grilled chicken on top had great flavor. Mamas calzone is to die for! So yummy with eggplant and no meat is surprisingly good and my favorite calzone from them. Falafel was one of the best I've ever had! Ask for the spicy one! Koushary first time ever having was so good and unique I'm getting that again. The rock sandwich wrap was yummy had this several times! So many more things I want to try from their menu. The chef informed me that their menu has seasonal items like moussaka, baklava, shawarma, and their eggplant dishes look so good! So catch em while you can. What makes great food? Good ingredients, good recipe, sure but in my opinion it also takes love and you can tell these guys love what they do. When I say catch em when you can because their have different hours than your typical restaurant, it's worth the wait worth every penny. Their prices on the menu are very reasonable, great outdoor patio for spring, summer and fall vibes, come enjoy a afternoon or evening here and eat some great food you feel good about eating because of the people that made it! And it's healthier side of the American diet these days. With that being said thank you for taking the time to read my review I'll keep posting or adding it with reviews of their other dishes yum can't wait! Shout out to 5 loaves and Maryanne! If you didn't know already where they got the name 5 loaves from... Jesus fed 5000 people with only 5 loaves and 2 fish, you can find this in Matthew 14:13. God bless 5 loaves restaurant and thanks for feeding me! Mahalo! Piacere! Grazie Mille! Arrivederci!

    Italiano Calzone w/ Marinara Sauce. Delicious!
    Ronald B.

    First time here! Came here at noon on a Friday and the place was a bit hard to find. It seems like it's behind a church and they only have a wooden signboard/chalkboard with stairs leading up to some outdoor seating and there weren't very many people. Despite this, the woman that helped me out was very welcoming and they were advertising a Thanksgiving promotion: for the whole month of November any meal comes with a complimentary drink-of-choice in observance of Thanksgiving! I got the Italiano Calzone (5/5), Large-Sized. It comes with two housemade marinara sauce and it is HUGE! It can be shared comfortably between 2-3 people. It's perfectly salty and there's cheese inside as well as outside the calzone and baked to perfection. I would definitely come back here and bring some friends along. The food is really something to talk about but wish more people knew about this hidden gem.

    Individual 8-inch "The Rock" pizza - looks much better than it was.  2.9 stars

    2.9 Stars Interesting very small restaurant/ stand in an industrial park off the corner of Muirlands and Wrigley. 1. Extremely limited parking. Less than 8 spaces. 2. No indoor seating, but covered, picnic table type patio seating If there is nobody outside waiting for you, there is a wireless remote type doorbell attached to a clear plastic slate that you press to announce that you are there so somebody can take your order. This is why I called this a "restaurant/stand". It is more like a stand or take out location The pizza crust was almost soggy and was more like what you would expect out of thicker pita bread than pizza dough. It was not crisp or crunchy at all and slices easily bent and deformed even while picking up the first slice. Taste was so-so, but the sparse toppings were at least fresh. They apparently have WiFi for guests, but there is no posted WiFi password. Website menu prices are not the same as the ones on the current menu. Prices must have gone up. The individual sized, 8-inch pizza and a canned 12 ounce soft drink cost me about $14. It may be that their other entrees or sandwiches are better, but the pizza really disappointed me. I was expecting better. This pizza was not even up to the level of a bulk chain like Dominos, Little Caesars, Round Table, etc.

    Menu not accurate, Mama's calzone is not vegan unless you specifically request it to be.
    Tony H.

    I ordered the Mama's Calzone expecting it to be vegan based on the menu on their Yelp page (also attached). I had asked if it was vegan over the phone, but the connection was bad and it appears they didn't hear me. Turns out it's not vegan and the menu on their yelp page is not accurate, they add mozzarella to it. When I told the woman behind the counter that their yelp is misleading, she got a little defense and (imo a little rude), saying something to the effect of: our yelp is very high, so for you to tell us what to do... I showed her the picture of menu that showed the Mama's Calzone was vegan, she took a closer look and asked if it had mozzarella on the menu. Upon looking and seeing it did not, she said she would get it updated. The whole interaction left a bad taste in my mouth and the entire thing was an unpleasant experience.

    Food was great and the staff was very nice. It's in a business park so a great place if you work close by. All the seating is outdoor but well shaded and ample. Had the Philly cheesesteak. It's more of a torpedo size but very good. Also had a great dessert but couldn't tell what it was.

    The rock
    Maurice N.

    I really wanted to like it. It's an out of the way place, industrial, attached to a community center. Very nice staff. Unfortunately... the food was not exciting. We tried a couple of calzones and a couple of deserts. They just didn't work. I would not call them calzones by any stretch of the imagination. The "calzones" were a doughy bread with a little meat, a bunch of cheese and almost no sauce. The sauce had little flavor, as did the calzone itself. Not terrible, not great. The desert... heavy, oily, can't remember the name. Not exciting in any way. Anyway, I guess it would be an ok lunch place in a pinch, but so far, not impressed, based on what we tried. And it took over 30 minutes to get our food!!!

    5 stars for the goma matcha latte and milk bread with crunchy pearls!…read more The goma matcha latte 5/5 had a black sesame paste that was like the black sesame version of smooth peanut butter! One could probably eat it by the spoonful! Such a complex flavor complement to the matcha latte. The matcha latte (4/5) felt fairly strong (I estimate 4g at least), and the mango puree tasted real/ fresh but was nothing special. However, I did like that it was not too sweet. Caveat: I am partial to mango/coconut milk or mango sticky rice matcha lattes. The goma matcha was worth the $8 pricetag. Tip: Matcha Mondays=10% off matcha drinks! The mango one maybe was worth it due to the amount of matcha, but I do feel like I could make it at home. The milk bread ($5.50) was soft, with a delightful bursting sweet cream filling topped with those shite pearly crunchies-- unique and delicious. I also loved the kinako an pan (sweet bread with red bean filling, $5.50) because of the nostalgic flavors, but also because the azuki bean had a nice crunchy sugar quality. It was on the drier side the day after purchase, but I enjoyed it. Service was cheerful and speedy. The space is pretty large with probably as much outdoor seating as indoor, and there were a few open spots at 1:30 on a Monday. Parking was plentiful in the shared plaza lot with some shady spots. I would drive back just for that goma matcha latte!! Also to try a few other breads or for a nice friend date spot to sit outside.

You order at the register and they'll bring your order to you when it's ready. I got the hojicha latte and added sweetener. The flavor was really good but it was all ice and not fully filled the cup. Felt like without ice it would have filled a shot glass. I got the chicken pesto which was delicious. Had great flavor and portion and I enjoyed the salad it came with. The mango cream bread had a good amount of cream and the filling was delicious. The chocolate cookie was good but so hefty. I ordered the matcha cheesecake and original cheesecake thinking it was the soft and fluffy texture but it had a thick consistency. The matcha was good with a very strong matcha flavor and the original had a slight lemon flavor. I enjoyed all the food and sweets here, but a bit disappointed with their drink portion.

The generous portion of small size onion rings were barely warm. Not good at all. Normally, we would have gone back and asked for fresh ones but we eat so few, we let it go. Our drink order never made it on the ticket. We went back and were cheerfully assisted. Finally, the dining room needed attention. Normally, there's an amazing woman constantly cleaning up but neither she nor anyone else was present. There were several messy tables that needed cleaning. Urp. There's something magical about this location that was sorely missing today. The Hat's Pastrami Dips and onion rings are a rare treat but today felt like punishment. We will come back when we start Jonesing for pastrami but don't think it'll be anytime soon. Our arteries may thank us but we are bummed.
