The food and service was great! The best we have had. We randomly stopped here and we will definitely be back. The chef is top level! Thank you.

Came here on a whim after getting off work late. I was met with a friendly hello and she took my order. As I waited for my food, I looked around rhe dining area which was sparse but people were eating and chatting. I received my food and bolted home to dig in. The gyro was good but different than what I'm used to. There wasn't any raw onions or tomatoes, but it had grilled/sautéed onion on it. The tzatziki sauce was on the bottom and it "melted" so I wasn't able to really taste it. The flavors were on point but I might have to ask for the raw onions and tomatoes the next time. Don't get me wrong it was a good gyro and it hit the spot even though it was a little off target.

Mr. kabab food is DELICIOUS! And TASTY!! Flavor upon flavor had made my tummy happy. The food is very filling I couldn't even finish my plate had it for lunch and dinner. It also came with a side of soup, Again #DELICIOUS. The workers are nice and friendly. Coming from Florida to Chicago this place was the first place we stopped by for food. That was a great kick off to many more food spot to hit in Chicago. Keep it up Mr.Kabab!

My Syrian friend makes the best. Freaking shawarma wraps I've ever had. Great flavor. Super friendly guy. Always want to be eating his food. Location is amazing.

I love this humble place because of its location and accessibility. The price is reasonable yet the food tastes fantastic. I personally love their Chicken Shawarma and greek salad. It's so nice to see that they serve Horchata and jamaica too.

If you follow my reviews, then you know I try Schwarber from everywhere. This is my first time at this restaurant, and the Shawarma is fantastic. The rice, fantastic. The lentil soup will surprise you how delicious it is.

My fave place for Mediterranean food. Always so good and fresh. Huge portions too which can feed up to 2-3 people. Highly recommend this place!

Been to way to many middle Eastern restaurants, and this hits home. Hands down, just like my dad use to make it. You have to try it.

This my second time here ordering for pick up through Grubhub Pickup. I love this place! It's super convenient since it's on Peterson Plaza( one block from me). I'm a fatty and I was stuffed with the chicken shawarma entree, the amount of food is perfect for left overs. The staff is highly friendly and professional. I think the owner was there too. Again, support small businesses. This is a top notch new place to order to go or even safely dine in. I will be coming back here.

HIDDEN GEM! Very authentic and delicious middle eastern and Iraqi food.. these guys do it right. Probably the best in the city. Their catfish Masghouf is the best I've ever had.. it's the Iraqi national dish and they make it the same way my mom and grandma made it. The shawarma and kabobs are excellent. Their lentil soup is made exactly like my moms from back in Iraq. This place is definitely worth a try. You will not be disappointed! Plenty of parking in the strip mall and the small staff is very friendly. Will continue to be a regular here read more

" I was going to get the chicken shush kabob being on my diet but Paul said to try their half/half shawerma so I ended up getting the combination plate which had both half/half shawerma w/ the beef kefta. When the food came out, the presentation was perfect, when it came to the taste, it was beyond what I had expected, it was amazing! Will definitely be back again. ***** read more

Alright let's get started! Looking for middle eastern food in Chicago? THIS PLACE IS IT. Literally, look no further. Perfectly seasoned, flavorful, authentic, and delicious! Perfect location with a big lot if you wanna order ahead and pick up or go in and eat! I had the beef shawarma with the dill rice and yellow rice, and it was perfect. Also tried some of my friends gyros and chicken! Gyros actually tasted of meat and not just garlic like 90% of spots in the city and the chicken was so tender and juicy. If you're looking for the middle eastern spot with the fire white sauce, Mr. Kabab. read more

I've been to a lot of authentic middle eastern spots in Chicago they are too Persian and not every middle eastern makes Persian food or liked Persian food this is Iraqi style and I'll take Iraqi style over Persian any day of the week.

Butter drenched potato with your choice of veggies and proteins added. A meal in itself! I sampled and loved their Red Lentil soup and Bulgar dishes.

We've had the same server a couple times now and she's friendly and gets the job done. (Wish I could remember her name!) The ambience is great.

So disappointed. I…read morecame about 5 years ago and loved my meal, especially the sticky date cake, which lingered in my memory as my favorite all time dessert. This year I was so excited to bring my family and Ema was the only restaurant in Chicago I couldn't wait for them to try. I booked it as our final meal in Chicago and lay awake at 4am being so disappointed in my choice. Our server's greeting was monotone and emotionless, which I realize now, would be foreshadowing the meal to come. Ordered the following 1) Smoky eggplant- arrived appearing as an unappetizing curdled purple grey mush. This was the worst tasting baba ghanouj I have ever eaten. It was acidic and had the texture of cottage cheese. The only redeeming thing about this appetizer was the warm naan. 2) house made stratciatella with side of green falafels- The stratciatella was bland and stringy. I would not order this dish expecting the creamy interior of typical burrata. However, if you like string cheese mixed with heavy cream- you may enjoy this dish. The tomatoes and basil were good. 3) chicken kefta- kefta was bland, rice even blander . 4) short rib with polenta- bland and the meat and polenta had the same texture, which seems impossible but somehow the plating was over complicated by the addition of mushy dates and grapes. 5) buttered noodles- my 8 year old ordered this. It was decent with a good amount of Parmesan and cooked perfectly al dente. By the end of the meal, I was so shocked by how terrible the food was I didn't even want to order the sticky date cake that was my main purpose for returning to this restaurant. Ema, what happened to you?!

So I heard the food was really good and naturally I had to see for myself. The place is very clean and the staff is great, they're friendly people! They provide a substantial, clean, and safe dine-in experience during these trying times which made me happy. Fast forward to when I ordered the Kabab, it's in the name so I had to try it. After my first bite I realized this was one of the best Kababs I've ever had. The salad and pickled veggies accentuate it perfectly, not to mention the steaming rice. I love middle eastern food and it was amazing, I have come back multiple times since. So far I've tried the Gyros and Lamb shank and each time I was shocked at the quality and taste. I'm literally going to try everything here. 5 star taste, quality, and service! Will be back soon to try to the shawarma! read more

I went to grab some dinner for my family and this was the right place! Mr. Kabab has the best Mediterranean food that I've had in Chicago. We got all different types of plates and sandwiches and not one failed! We also tried the soups and Greek fries and they were great. We crave it constantly now, I recommend for everyone to try it. There are many great flavors and options to choose from. The service was exceptional and very quick after I was in a rush. Definitely going to be back! read more

Me and friends were looking at restaurants for our bachelor party while we were in Chicago and put mr. Kabob on the list because the name made us laugh and became an inside joke about going there. We finally made it and it was some of the best food I've ever had. Its very out of the way for us, but we are gonna try and come back again before we leave. Thank you Mr. Kabab read more
