    Great quality food at a reasonable price point !! Falafel and avocado hummus were my faves. The chef gave us free baklava because it was our first time, she was so cute you have to go!!

    Falafel plate
    stephanie b.

    The food here is fantastic! The ingredients are always fresh, and the space is clean. Meals are made to order, so you can expect them to be served hot. I have been ordering from this place for the past 6-7 years, and it has consistently been a great neighborhood spot.

    I like their food and customers service, friendly staff. Delicious hummus and grilled meat . Highly recommend for vegetarians

    Chicken Shawarma Wrap
    Will J.

    Been here twice now and have really enjoyed the food/service both times. I bought a shawarma wrap for 8$, it isn't a gigantic wrap by any means but it is firmly packed with tons of delicious ingredients/kept me surprisingly full after finishing. The chicken is perfectly marinated, the lettuce/cucumber salad is fresh, the pickles give a great bite, and the hummus and tahini sauce top off a perfectly made wrap. I'd highly recommend getting the garlic sauce and hot sauce as well on the side. I also bought a chicken kabob plate that was not only visually appeasing but tasted just as good as well. Great portion sizes and tons of food for 15$. If you're a shawarma fan or in the area, definitely stop by! The service at the front has been great both times as well :)

    Mixed plate & chicken kebab
    Chase S.

    Ordered the Chicken Kebab plate, the Mixed Combo plate, and a Lentil Soup. Each plate comes with a small cup of humus, 1 falafel, a side salad, and pita. I not only love this place because it's close to my house, but because the ingredients they use are usually super fresh and of high quality. Ill start off with the Lentil soup. Holy smokes. Thick, hot, grainey, and has a slight undertone of almost a worcestershire flavor. so delicious, i was very pleased. Falafel-  very rich and flavorful Pita - sooooo tasty and fresh. I am a bread lover and this pita gets my approval. Hot sauce is also top notch. Not too spicy but packed with flavor. Chicken kebab - thick pieces of chicken breast roasted over an open flame, the marinade is delicious and not too spicy, and it comes with roasted veggies -  all served over a bed of yellow rice. Pretty straightforward dish and the chef nailed it. The mixed plate - 3 different meats included: Chicken kebab, kefta kebab, and steak kebab. It comes with more food than any of the other plates on the menu (ive had them all). Roasted veggies are also included with this plate, also served over a bed of yellow rice. The steak kebab is nice big pieces of beef, wouldnt say theyre exactly juicy, but the beef is high quality and the flavor is as expected for another straightforward menu item. I was a bit hungup on the kefta kebab. The ground meat they used was not seasoned enough in my opinion. It was slightly bland but i mean very slightly. No regrets ordering, but I have had better kefta elsewhere. Overall I highly recommend this place. Quick easy and so delish. One of my go-to's.

    I didn't have much time to cook this week and Hummus Grill is amazing for weekly staples. Look how gorgeous the dips are presented. I grabbed a couple salads and sides of shawarma meat to use in wraps at home, and some grilled veggies too. Everything is packaged to perfection. Incredible neighborhood spot!

The place is beautiful with a lively terrace on nice days but also a very open and bright interior with modern decor. We were seated right away at a table off to the side of the bar area. We must have waited like 15-20 minutes before anyone even realized that we were there. It seemed as though none of the servers running around serving other tables around us had our table to service. Eventually we caught the attention of who I can only imagine was a manager or supervisor who finally came over to take our orders. We ordered the Smokey garlic hummus which fresh pita bread and this was very good. We also ordered the crispy potatoes and the Brussel sprouts as a side. These were also nice and crispy and the brussel sprouts had a tasty kick with the harissa honey. For our main we had the chicken kebab which was perfectly cooked and tender, braised short rib (not as good), and the shawarma skirt steak frite. We quite enjoyed our meal and everything very fast which more than made up for the initial delay in service. For dessert we decided to share a frozen Greek yogurt with Olive Oil and sea salt. This had an interesting taste with a tanginess at the end. I'm not sure I would order this again but you could tell the Greek yogurt was of very good quality. All in all we enjoyed our meal at Aba and would definitely come back if in town.

So flavorful and perfect hearty brunch. The skewers my parents got were wonderfully cooked. Others got a more standard scrambled egg breakfast that they said was nothing special.

The biggest issue was that our drink glasses had a terrible odor, as if they hadn't been washed properly. We mentioned it to the manager, who promptly replaced the glasses, and the new ones did not have the smell, which confirmed there was an issue with the original ones. I ordered the short ribs, which cost $35 and the portion was extremely small. One of the pieces was also mostly fat, leaving very little actual meat. For the price, I expected a much better-quality dish and a more satisfying portion. Overall, the experience did not live up to the restaurant's reputation or pricing. Unfortunately, I won't be returning.

Made last minute reservations for brunch next day after the infamous architecture tour. It was quiet as we've put in an early morning. All the more better to savor all intricate dishes from start to finish. Like the name, The Purple Pig, their specialty is pork dishes so majority of our orders were this. Daily special of the bone marrow bacon jam toast - glazed, slippery off the bone, savory and sweet. Always love a good bone marrow dish to get the sweetness off it. This was so good that there were bits of the marrow and jam left stuck to the bone, I took a piece of the toast and scooped the bone dry. Nothing left for anyone to attack this. Non pork dishes were the Mushroom 3 ways and Spanish octopus. Mushroom dish was savory with all the coated sauces elevating this. Spanish octopus was kicked lightly and easily can bite in to enjoy the tender and charred portions. But the award went to my main course - the braised pork shoulder with saffron, apricots and Swiss chard. Aside from the rippable pork meat when dining on it, the sauces fused together on this dish elevated it and had everyone coming back for more. I needed an official Chicago culinary experience and found it at The Purple Pig without a doubt.

This place is a local gem: simple, quick, casual, but packed with flavor. The falafel is crispy crunchy and herby served with two sauces (the red is bright and spicy - my fav), and you can see that juicy shawarma rotating in the window as you pass. Though unassuming on the outside, this place serves yummy Lebanese food at high ROI. Of the two shawarma plates I tried, I fancy the beef, but I tend to lean beef. The chicken was clean and flavorful. The hummus is creamy and delicious and the plates are served with a balsamic fresh salad on the side. The guys behind the counter are working hard and if you're picking food up to-go, you're likely in and out of line with hot fresh food in under 10 minutes. Definitely a spot to try if you've never had shawarma or Falaffel, or need a quick bite while on your lunch break. Also wouldn't be a bad late night snacky

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.
