For a place in a strip mall this is pretty good to be honest. It was a lot better than the…read moreexpectations based on the looks. North Avenue Falafel is located on North Avenue of course, but it's way out west around Oak Park. Has more than just falafel here with lots of classic items. There's options for both meat eaters and vegetarians who will find lots of good things. Came in around lunch and got a combo. It's about $12 for a typical one. They also have a few cheaper lunch specials. Had to get the Falafel Platter. This is the place's signature item after all, so it had to be good, and it was. I came with eight pieces of falafel. Quite a lot for a platter at this price. Lots of good ass stuff on here. There was hummus, Jerusalem salad, pitas, and rice. Falafel is the main thing it seems, but there's actually plenty more. There's side items like salads and soups. Have to make a return trip over here some time and get some more of the falafel and some other items. It's the best at lunch when there's some specials. There's more than just falafel, with a few meaty choices, and lots of choices for vegans and vegetarians.

The restaurant was pretty slow. I was the only person in line and there were a few folks dining in. I wanted just a small bite so I opted for a kids portion, when it got to the toppings I wanted 4 toppings instead of 3. The person was adamant about my order only coming with 3 which is no problem I requested to purchase the additional topping. He informed that I couldn't buy toppings so essentially I just couldn't have it. I made the comment of like well I think you could decide to give me the additional topping if there is no price for it and he goes only if you give us 5 stars. Ummm... that doesn't sit well with me, you're only willing if I give an inaccurate review of my experience. I opted to try cava at another time when purchasing a large bowl made sense for me but I really think some better training for someone who is potentially in management would be helpful. 100% align with company policy but fishing for positive reviews while not being customer focused is it's. Also, Cava should have an option for people to purchase additional items if they want more than what's allotted.

The selection of bread, cheese, wine, and produce is great. Publican baked bread alone is a very good reason for stopping in. They are the best bakery in the Chicago area. The wine selection here is not typically what you find at the big box stores. Whoever does the selecting deserves a pat on the back because everything that I have purchased has skewed on the very good to excellent. As a result, I try to stop in whenever I am in the area and have a time. Everyone should make an effort to support local grocers. I bet if you stop in, you will not regret it.
