    Beef pita sandwich
    Sagarika G.

    Habibi Shawarma is a total hidden gem tucked inside Naperville Fresh Market -- and wow, it delivers! The chicken shawarma is so flavorful and juicy, wrapped in the softest pita. The falafel is crispy, fresh, and full of flavor -- not dry like you get at some places. And the beef pita sandwich is so juicy and tender and smoky! All sandwiches come with hummus, pickled onions, jalapeños, salad, and LOTS of garlic sauce and hot sauce! SOOOOO satisfying! It's a casual setup with a few tables, but super clean and perfect for a quick, delicious bite. The staff is friendly, the portions are generous, and the food comes out fast. Whether you want a pita, bowl, or salad - this is your place to be! If you're shopping or just in the area, do yourself a favor and stop here. It's fast, fresh, and full of flavor -- I'm already planning my next visit!

    I have tried shawarma all over the world so to impress me with your shawarma is not easy and this place has done that. Now adays shawarma has also turned into fancy food which it is not. It's a quick food option in middle eastern culture where this provides a quick bite without breaking the bank but recently most restaurants in America portray it as something fancy and has started charging alot of money for it. Coming back to the food, its really nice they make it in pita but not the traditional way, it's more like the persian style where they cut open the top and can then do the filling inside. I wish they toast the pita and it would make it better but even without it the shawarma is still delicious. The price is right. The service was nice as well, I didn't see a grumpy employee or unhappy attitude. The gentleman at the counter was very helpful and patient.

    Located inside Naperville market this place has great food at a great price. Nice for eating before/after shopping or just coming in for a bite to eat. The workers are kind and generous with portions.

    I love that Naperville Fresh Market continues to offer halal food options. The latest offering is Habibi Shawarma, which I was fortunate enough to visit during its grand opening. It's located near the Taqueria and the produce section (i.e. right side of the store). The menu seems kind of limited, but good enough for a small shop like this. They were offering chicken or beef shawarma pita sandwiches for only $3.95 as a grand opening special. Unfortunately they didn't have fries or schnitzel which were listed on the menu; hopefully those will be offered soon. Anyway, I ordered a beef shawarma pita and a chicken shawarma plate. They also included some hummus, tahini sauce, hot sauce, and amba (?) sauce on the side; beware that their hot sauce is actually spicy. The beef shawarma was similar to gyros, and they generously filled the pita with meat and other fillings; I also asked them to put in some fried eggplant. It tasted pretty good, but was hard to eat like a sandwich because it was so filled. The chicken shawarma plate was kind of boring because it was just chicken, cabbage, and tomato salad. It wasn't topped on rice, but they did include two pitas. It also didn't include fries like the menu stated, but hopefully fries will be coming soon. Not the best Middle Eastern food I've had, but not bad. 3.5 stars overall.

At dinner, we shared the sausage appetizer - so tender and delicious! One of us had the seafood main course, which was huge and filled with so many different types of seafood and fish. We also had the chicken souvlaki, which is amazing. During our brunch, we shared the saganaki and pita -- the saganaki here is not to be missed. We also shared a delicious lamb burger that was tender, juicy and served with unique toppings. The accompanying Greek potatoes were also unique and very tasty. The service is always excellent here. There is also indoor and outdoor seating, and the outdoor seating has beautiful views. Reservations are not always necessary, but much more so on weekends. Love Vasili's!

The restaurant was very loud, however, and it was hard to hear each other. Usually I enjoy this restaurant, especially the black cod. This time I ordered a special fig and peach salad and added lamb for the protein. The salad was good with the fig and peaches, but the lamb skewer was overdone and grizzly. Even though the meat was not cooked to medium rare, it was tender around the grizzle. I ended up spitting out the pieces I couldn't chew. Not really ladylike, but my teeth just couldn't work through the tough and stringy pieces. This visit was disappointing. The highlight was being with friends. My salad was just meh. I did like the combination of figs and grilled peaches.

This is a nice, small Middle Eastern market compared to Souq Fresh Market in Lombard. Souq is very big. This market has a lot of unique Middle Eastern snacks that I've never seen before along with a kitchen that you can order lunch and dinner from. Lunch is served 10 am - 2 pm. I believe dinner is served from 2 pm to 9 pm. Don't quote me on the end dinner times. They have 3 tables that you can eat at. I came after 10:20 am and I ordered the chicken kufta lunch special, two different kinds of samosa, and kebabs. Prices were cheap, I got all of this for $25. They also have an area where you can get some fresh meat and deli items. Staff was friendly. Overall 4 out of 5. If they fixed the kebabs, it would easily be a 5. -chicken kufta lunch special 5 - he made this fresh. You get one pita bread with it. Meat was soft and tender. The rice and salad were very tasty. Huge portion. -samosas 5 - I got one beef and one potato. They were both delicious. -kebabs 3.5 - he gave me two big kebabs but they did not taste freshly made.

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!!!

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!

This is one of the more $$ entrées on the menu, but it's absolutely worth it. The portion was generous, the lamb was high quality, and the artichoke pesto paired really well with the rich, gamey flavor. The roasted pearl onions were a great addition too. I would definitely recommend this dish. * Foxtail paella: 8/10 flavorful orzo paella loaded with seafood. Definitely a sharing type of entree!

I called them because I wasn't sure if the online version would be too slow. We were a group of three that came in Saturday night at 7 pm. It was moderately busy. The staff were all welcoming with smiles on their faces and attentiveness. Prices were fair for the amount of food you receive. Food portions are colossal so I would recommend one appetizer and one entree if you are a couple. They give you a complimentary dish. We ordered arayes with meat, meat toshka, mixed grill with baba ghanouj, fillet of basa fried, and mint lemonade. They also offer you fresh Arabic coffee before you leave. This is about a 4.5-5. -arayes with meat 4 - this was not bad. It's like a tamer version of the meat toshka. -meat toshka 5 - I prefer this over the arayes because they add the Syrian cheese. This one was bursting with flavor the moment you took a bite out of it. The minced beef and lamb just melt in the mouth. -mixed grill 5 - this came with 3 big skewers (shish kabab, kufta kabab, and chicken tawook. It also has tomatoes and onions to help cut down the meat when digesting. There are two heaping portions of biryani and saffron rice and baba ghanouj. The baba ghanouj was creamy and flavorful. It goes well with the pita bread. The meats were cooked medium well unless you want something. I think next time I'll ask for the shish kababs to be cooked medium rare or medium for a more juicy taste. The chicken tawook and kufta were both succulent. -fillet of basa fried 5 - the two pieces of basa fillet were astronomical. It also comes with two different kinds of rice. The fish was flaky, moist, and seasoned. Make sure you add the lemon and eat it with the sauce. -mint lemonade 5 - this was very refreshing after eating a heavy meal.

The most gracious and humble hosts - paying attention to every detail and stopping at nothing to bring whatever the customer wants to fruition. We don't realize that the place closes at 8:00 pm, and just kept chomping and socializing - they never once pointed it out to us. I begin with them because they were the friendliest folks, and their service was truly remarkable. Then comes the food - my goodness, the food. Let's begin with the Harira. Perfectly seasoned, but for me, it requires a little more salt (which is personal preference) and a pop of acid like lemon to bring out its true flavor. Overall, a really comforting, rich soup without being heavy or cloying. Then came the Moroccan seasoned potatoes - oooooweeee! These were little nuggets of pure deliciousness. Seasoned to perfection, crispy on the outside, soft and pillowy on the inside and every bite kept you wanting to go back for more. Then the lamb shank tagine - ummmm, excuse me?!?! What do you mean the meat is like butter? It literally falls off the bone and dissolves in your mouth. Rich, fatty, unctuous and truly a delight. The bed of couscous it came with was also great - made better by the sauce from the lamb shank. The highlight of this plate were the roasted prunes that are part of the sauce. Sweet, jammy prunes cooked into the sauce made them just truly a delightful mouthfeel in comparison to the couscous and the scrumptious meat. To top it all off, the cherry on top, is their comforting Moroccan mint tea. So very fresh and the perfect end to an absolutely DELIGHTFUL meal. Highly recommended!!!

It was tasty, but I wish the carrots were cooked more to soften them. The mixed grill platter had chicken and beef kabobs, as well as something like a kefta (ground meat) kabob. The meats and rice were good, although the beef and chicken could have been more tender and juicy. The white sauce was a nice accompaniment. The lamb shank was excellent; nice tender meat, tasty rice, and delicious supplemental flavors from the figs and apricots. Overall, a very nice lunch.
