The best chicken shawarma I've had! Hands down. My wife nearly lost her mind when she tried my dish so mad at herself for not getting the same. It was juicy, delicious, perfectly prepared. I got it with a salad on the side, which was ideal for me. We also had the Lebanese hummus which was a bit different than the 'traditional' one we usually get but very good in, obviously, a different way. The staff was helpful and on top of things. It took a little bit for them to prepare everything but I'm willing to wait for something fresh and hot like what we were served. read more

After going to Damascus Falafel a few times or so we checked out this nearby place that also has Middle Eastern food. It isn't quite as preferred but it was mostly okay. Kabob Q is another place for this cuisine in Willowbrook. Has fairly good portions on the various preparations such as bowls. The prices aren't bad as long as you don't order a lot. Came while driving by and thought to stop here because we had never been here. It has a kind of interesting concept as it's like it's two restaurants in one. These are connected to each other and pretty much are the same place. On the one side is this with the Middle Eastern food. The other side has pizza. It offers toppings such as falafel. We wanted actual Middle Eastern food so we chose the Kabob Q side. Cleanliness is an issue. Tables weren't cleaned off and it smelled like old trash. Both of us got a Falafel Bowl. It's $7.99 and comes with fries, rice, or salad. This also has the choice of 4 toppings. Among the ones we chose were vegetables that sounded good on it. These included cucumbers and olives. Certainly we could get back here. It has pretty big portions. The place is kind of dirty, and the food isn't as good as other places, and it makes sense that prices are as low as they are here because it's not as high of a quality. read more

I was feeling bad about it because I forgot to pick up my order.later I go back to get my food,the owner is very nice he made my food fresh again when I go to pick up my order. We always enjoy the food at Kabab Q . read more

I've had better meditterean food. The Steak Shawarma wrap was sub par. The meat was not flavorful at all. The place itself was very dirty and dusty. None of the tables were cleaned properly, the floor was disgusting and there are three workers... Maybe the other items are better but don't dine in. So gross! You would think with covid they would try to be better... nope! read more

Used to frequent this place the last few years. Food quality and customer service went downhill. Paid for our food and tipped and then we noticed our order wasn't correct. Manager wasn't needed for this issue but was called anyways for some reason. Be weary if you have food allergies or want to customize your toppings, apparently they don't do that anymore. read more

I'm disappointed in this place. Today is Friday and the time was 1:50pm when I can to order their special that's posted on the window "only available Monday through Friday." The gentleman at the counter said the special is no longer offered. I pointed the huge sign on the window. Is it me or is that not good business? read more

Delicious as always. Nice music, friendly service. Drive out of my way just for their lentil soup. read more

*3.5 stars* although I will say that the chicken kebob meat itself is probably a solid 4 stars. We also waited about 25 mins for the kebob to be cooked, but some might like that it was definitely super fresh. Overall, the toppings were underwhelming - hummus, tomatoes, onions, parsley, gardiniera, lettuce and some other unmemorable ones. I really like the staff there and they had a great selection of middle eastern sodas, including a Vimto that my husband chugged down like a 6 year old :) My less picky husband said he would give this place a solid 4. But he only ordered the kebob over rice (instead of salad like mine) with a sad bit of onion topping, because he is a minimalist. read more

Chicken Shawarma wrap was not good at all. Their chicken is coated by a mix made by chef according to cashier as I did ask. My wrap was full of that coating with very little chicken. I did not enjoy at all it was hard to eat without being grossed out. Texture felt very grainy. I've had better elsewhere. read more

I almost quit writing Yelp reviews. I haven't been out and about much since COVID. This restaurant brought me out of retirement! I went in and there was a medium sized line. Great! It probably means it's a decent place. I proceeded to go the bathroom and wash up prior to ordering. I kid you not. There were EASILY 8 dead, large cockroaches in the light fixture. There was no mistake in what they were. I looked around like, "Is this a hidden camera show?!" I left. I hate, hate putting small business down. I quietly told the clerk and he shrugged. I emailed the restaurant owner about the situation. No response. You know what? Fine. My other reviews give most places OK/Good reviews. I'm not a one-star jerk. Buyer beware here. read more

I came back, and I felt like I was wasting their time. I didn't even get pitas with my meal. I'm not sure that I'll be back for another go-around... read more

My friend and I came after seeing a video on TikTok advertising this restaurant with high expectations. We're currently fasting for the month of Ramadan so we arrived 20 min earlier than our time to break fast. The man at the register who appeared as the owner told us the manaeesh (pizzas) won't be ready for dinner time so we ordered gyros instead. I kid you not, it took 50 mins for our order to be ready and the restaurant only had three other customers there at the time. No apology for taking so long and he KNEW we were fasting. They also forgot to give us a side we ordered so we had to ask for a refund and as we were eating we saw the owner leave with bags of food, got in his Benz and left. It makes sense now why it took so long because he was probably cooking food to take home! I wouldn't recommend this place due to the service and the food was just mediocre. Also, don't expect to eat from the pizza side because it was closed. read more

The Hummus Chicken Shawarma was some of the best I have had! The hummus had so much flavor and was lemony! The chicken was not fatty (in a good way) it was lean but also flavorful a good amount of meat in it. I could not believe how delicious the hummus was! Wow read more

Good food. Awful service. This evening ordered on line and paid by credit card. got email acknowledgement that order received and being processed. however, no indication of pick up time, etc. After 1/2 hour, called to check on order. On hold 7 min. Called second time. told they were checking on it; on hold over 4 min (I was using a stopwatch, so not exagerrating). Called a third time; after a hold, I was told they never received my order. Tho I had a confirmation, an order number and my credit charge posted. When I asked further, i was told I needed to talk with a manager; on hold 7 minutes, then disconnected. A member of our party the went to the establishment with receipt in hand. told they didn't have order And no manager on site. apparently they never checked the computer tablet, nor did they get any signal an on line order was there. No apologies and no accommodation for the inconvenience. Unfortunately, we have tried them in the past and once again, arrived to pick up our food (a phone order at that time) at the designated time, and nothing prepared. Will not be using them again, not worth the aggravation. read more

We were looking for something healthier to eat on a Friday night and we found this place. You are greeted immediately with Super friendly service. They are happy you came. Especially if it's your first time here. They made recommendations. I got the Steak and Chicken shawarma combo Bowl with rice. That came with topping options along with the sauces on the respective meats. I got giardiniera, Lebanese hummus, onions and the hot green sauce. It was really good. Reminded me of the halal food we get in nyc. We also got the combo Kabob special--chicken and steak and that was also really good. And we also got fg Falafel ala carte. Then we got a thing of this stuff they call Basbouseh. A dessert which is like a honey almond cake. I can see why it's two $s for price bc it's about $10 per and they don't fill it up with rice. But I was pretty full after my bowl. And the only other thing is that we got each of the three items not all together. Kind of funny. First cake my bowl. Then came the kabob combo. And as we were ready to leave the falafels were ready. In any case, will come back. My kids will love the bowls. read more

We stopped at the restaurant because we saw that they had half the restaurant dedicated to the pizza . We get inside and no pizza . Food was ok at best . A bit pricey for the style of food . Service was not good at all . The person had issues understanding what I was saying and what I wanted to order . They didn't have a couple of items o actually wanted on the menu . read more

Been here multiple times, feel like its slowly going downhill. Tried the Shawarma recently, the meat quantity was quite less and felt just like a regular sandwich. Has the potential of being so much better. read more

Slow service but always fresh and conveniently located, open Sundays and right off I-55 well past traffic. A great option for that area. It's not the best Chicagoland Mediterranean option but a very good one. read more

I never eat all my food! I got the steak shawarma. It was delicious and healthy. Thank you!

I ordered the falafel salad. The falafel are delicious! The salad ingredients are fresh and attractive, and the salad topping choices are good. I also got a bottled yogurt beverage, which is good and was icy cold. I got a dollop of babaganoush, which is delicious, and wonderful with the falafel. Recommended. read more

Awful. Just awful. Gyros from a kit. Why have a spit with meat on it if you ate going to go to the back and nuke a kit? I could have done that at home. The fries are good as well as the pita. You are rolling the dice with anything else. read more

I ordered the chicken shawarma wrap and just wasn't impressed. It was ok, but nothing I would go back for. Especially given that it's $10 for the wrap alone, it just wasn't flavorful enough for me to try again. If the wrap was $6.50, would have given 3 stars, but for $10 it's not worth it. Might try the falafel if I do give it another shot. Really nice people working though. read more

I took a half day off work on Monday so that my fiancé and I could get some chores done. We decided to grab a quick lunch. This place popped up as a recommended local spot for me and the photos looked pretty good, so we decided to check it out. The place was pretty clean and quiet, no background music even. I'm not familiar with this type of food so I decided to ask the guy behind the counter what some of the stuff was. Honestly, I'm sorry, but I could not understand what he was saying. He was very monotone, unresponsive, and I'm not sure if his English was poor or he just spoke under his breath. We both decided to get combo bowls. I ended up with just a steak bowl because the guy asked me something and since I couldn't understand I just said yes lol. The food was very flavorful. I'm not sure if it was the rice or the meat but I could taste cumin in the seasoning. However, the portion was pretty small for the price. read more

Excellent food, great service and portions were generous for catering! Thank you Kabob Q for a great experience we will be back!

Mediterranean gem in the suburbs. Order at counter dinning style. Delicious food. Friendly and excellent service. We drove a 5 mins out of our way and it was totally worth it. Very inconspicuous restaurant front in a mini strip mall, off of I 55. read more

I went there recently and it is kind of a dumpy place. Takeout was not quick . The falafel was just all right. It does not appear clean with a pail of water and a mop with dirty water exposed when you walk in‍ I'll try it again in a couple of months. This place has so much potential! read more

Good size portions. The falafel is delicious and a great option for vegan / vegetarian folks.

Food is good but too expensive. One wrap and three dinners for appx $75, no drinks and they want you to check at box at checkout to leave a tip, even for takeout orders. I don't think we'll be a repeat customer. Could also be a little cleaner. read more

Doesn't look like much when you walk past, but I was at a hair appointment right next to it, and I stopped by after to grab a bite to eat, & it did not disappoint me!

Would definitely go back for another bowl! read more

Just got the worst meal ever from GrubHub and it was from this restaurant. I had to call Grubhub to get a refund for the Gyros. Ordered two, only got one. The 4 falafels were so overcooked they were inedible and greasy. Had to throw it out. Look at how dark and overcooked, look how greasy the bag is. To top it all off, the guy at the restaurant told us, not to order the Gyros anymore that to order the schwarma. "It's better", he said. What? The one Gyros we did get hardly had any meat on it and it was the preformed meat you get in the Gyros Kits at your grocery store. Finally, the baklava was the same kind you get from Costco, but it was hard, old and stale. Called GrubHub and they are issuing a refund for $5.99 for the missing Gyros. They tried to call Kabob Q about the almost burnt falafel, but after several calls, no one picked up the phone. Will never go here again. The owner just contacted me and was very apologetic. He now knows there are issues. Hopefully, he will fix the quality and service and get it back to where it was. read more

I'm not kidding when I say this is some of the best Greek food I've ever had. I got the hummus and falafel which was so delicious I wish I could eat it every day. The side of rice was huge and very good as well. We also got a felafel wrap which was tasty as well as a felafel bowl with rice. I don't live here, but now that I'm home in California I'm still dreaming about Kebab Q! read more
