The salad and hummus came out within a few minutes and the food itself was actually very good. No water given at this time. Unfortunately, the service was disappointing. We waited almost an hour for our main entrée, had to ask for the water again, and the Nutella shake we ordered was never served at all. Our server was not attentive throughout the night. One more thing to watch out for -- a 15% tip was automatically added to the bill, so make sure to check before paying. The food was enjoyable, but the poor service really affected the overall experience.

I've been wanting to try this place for awhile. I went to the Oak Lawn location because the Palos…read moreHills location has awful parking. It's awful because it's in a shared parking lot and it's a nightmare to find a spot. For some strange reason, the whole town of Oak Lawn decided to go to that shopping area where Baba Saj is, on a Wednesday night close to 8 pm. Let that sink in. Just a warning, people here can't drive or walk, I wouldn't be surprised if accidents occur here weekly. Aside from that, they have plenty of parking spaces when available. Baba Saj wasn't busy at all. The restaurant is beautiful. I love the interior and I like that they have a patio area to eat in front of the fountain. We ordered a mixed shawarma meal, steak shawarma bowl, and a sfeha flatbread. The staff here is nice. I forgot the name of the older woman but she gave us an extra bowl for free. They gave us a chicken shawarma bowl instead of steak. They didn't want to take the chicken shawarma bowl back so they just put it in a bag and gave it to us. Prices aren't bad. -mixed shawarma meal 4.5 - the mixed meat (steak and chicken) were both very moist and tender. A lot better than Haifa in Orland Park. The fries weren't bad but I would have preferred them to be crispy. These leaned more on the soggy side like McDonald's. I gave it a 4.5 because I wished the shawarma portion was bigger. -steak shawarma bowl 3 - I told my gf this but stop getting bowls. If you want to really experience the shawarma, always get it in a flatbread or pita. Never in a bowl. The meat loses moisture in the open air thus making it taste dry. -sfeha flatbread 4.5 - this was pretty tasty. The meat is moist but the bread on the outside can get slightly dry.

When you eat it a Yemeni restaurant, it's best to not expect a fancy dining experience. You might…read morebe seated on the floor, or you might have a plastic tablecloth and plastic cutlery. Al-Diar is no different. It's tiny inside, with only three tables. The tables have plastic tablecloths with another piece of plastic on top, making clean-up easy, as Yemeni food is typically eaten in a communal fashion out of one dish and by hand. The chairs are foldable, but at least they're cushioned. There is silverware you can help yourself to, but when I asked if I could have an extra plate, they said no. In any case, we ordered a chicken mandi and a shrimp stew. The food took a while to come out, but both dishes were excellent. The mandi included flavorful chicken, rice, a few raisins, chopped veggies (onions, tomatoes, jalapenos), and a couple of different sauces on the side. This was a very enjoyable dish. The shrimp stew was also very flavorful; it was saucy enough and included some chopped veggies. Service was decent and pricing was fair.

So, I was in the mood for shawarma and I've been looking on Google/Yelp/TikTok/IG. I found out…read moreabout this place because it was highly rated on Google and Yelp. I looked them up on TikTok and the reviews were equal to the written ones. Usually, I take whatever those "influencers" say with a grain of salt because they think everything is good. They have no standards. However, for this place they were right on the money. This is a small shop and the parking lot is kind of weird. You can easily find a spot here since it's mostly a takeout place. They have 3 barstools for waiting for your food. They also have a tiny table that seats 2 inside and a table outside. It's a true mom and pop shop. The wife hands you a free falafel with hummus. The falafel is crispy outside and the inside is very fresh. Nothing is dry. The couple is very kind and generous. The prices are great for what you get. They are closed on Sundays and they are open late. I got the chicken shawarma sandwich and beef shawafel sandwich. The chicken shawarma had slices of marinated chicken thighs along with the house salad and sauce. It was amazing. I really enjoyed how tender the chicken was. It went great with the sauce and salad. The beef shawafel was about the same except it has beef and falafel in it. It was equally as good as the chicken. You can also get shawarmas in a wrap or a platter, but I prefer getting them in a classic pita. I know where to go if I have a craving for shawarma.
