The restaurant was big and clean inside with plenty of tables and seating. I even saw a large party of more than 8 people easily accommodated.The cashier who took my order was very nice. The menu isn't extensive but they have a decent selection from which to choose. I ordered a chicken shawarma wrap to go and sat down while I waited for my food. The order took a little longer than expected but I could see that it was being made to order which I appreciated. I asked the cashier if they had any hot sauce and she happily grabbed me a cup. I really liked the chicken flavor and the toppings in the wrap. It came with a cup of garlic sauce which I appreciated but was a little too thick for my taste so it was kind of hard to add it into the wrap. The hot sauce was interesting and had a flavor profile similar to others I've had but with something added that sets it apart. Although I think I prefer others I still appreciated what it brought to the wrap. If you're a fan of middle eastern cuisine I would recommend giving Taste of Jerusalem a try.

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'm no stranger to kebabs and I usually like my kebabs to be tender and juicy. These were semi tough and kind of dry inside. I can see the spices in them but they would taste even better new.

We had a very hard decisions to make deciding what to get. I don't know what it was called, but we got something that looked like a strawberry Napoleon. I couldn't have any because of an allergy, but my wife loved it. Their coffee bar is also impressive. My wife had a latte and I had a mint tea. They make an elaborate latte. I was a little disappointed that the tea, which was not inexpensive, was made with a tea bag and not tea leaves. But it was good, so no real problem there. There was a short line to order at the counter, but it moved quickly. The people behind the counter were pleasant and seem to enjoy talking with their customers. All in all, the Thousand Tales coffee shop rates up there with the best.

Unfortunately, I was really disappointed -- not only with the presentation, but also with the skimpy portions of toppings. The meat and rice tasted like they had been sitting for a while, and I was surprised that I had to pay extra for sauce. I selected feta as one of my toppings, and they literally placed a solid brick of it on top of the bowl. ‍ The other toppings looked like maybe a couple of tablespoons each. The wrap was also served in a floppy tortilla. From what I'm used to, places typically crisp the tortilla slightly in a pan before wrapping it so it has some texture and a little crunch. I'm glad to see that others seem to be enjoying their meals here, but unfortunately this experience just wasn't it for me. I guess I'll have to make the drive to the GOAT -- Sem Sem.

Luckily I hopped on Yelp and to my surprise, found Damascus Falafel extremely close. This was just such a good experience, I purchased two chicken wraps + a soda + small tip all for 25$. In this day of age, that is a fair price for essentially food for two people. This was a well sized wrap, you pick your wrap + protein + veggies + sauces. I did the chicken w/ cucumber salad + green salad, hummus, pickles, feta, garlic and tahini. After you make your selection it will then be press grilled. The wrap absolutely hit the spot(everything tasted fresh) , the flavors all worked together and I'm literally thinking of going back today because it was so good. Also like to add there is tons of room as well in here. The service was also very friendly too and helpful. Between the food, the fair pricing, good customer service, this is a must try spot and excited to have it in my local rotation.
