    Stopped by here to order takeout for five folks recently. It was a cold winter evening (15 degrees) and was incredibly cold in the restaurant as well (I'd say 50 degrees in there or slightly less). I don't know if they didn't have the heater on or what (I mean it was much colder outside, of course). It wasn't helped by the fact that they had the exterior doors propped open. There was a second set of interior doors that were closed but you could still feel the wind through the cracks. That said, we were there for takeout so weren't super concerned. There was only one person actually dining in house and they were wearing full coat and earmuffs. An odd start to our first experience here, nonetheless. I ordered their falafel wrap, which came on what appeared to be Lebanese flat bread. It was good! The falafel wasn't overly dry and they were generous with the pickles. I got their cheese fries for the side, which basic thick cut fries with cheese sauce. They were a solid aok. One of my dining companions got one of their bowls with the garlic sauce. I had a bite and it was delish. I'd definitely order their falafel bowl next time! The service was kind and the prices are reasonable ($100 or so after tip for dinner for 5). Not sure I'd dine in during the winter months but the food was good!

    3. Beef Shawarma Bowl

    The Shawarma Palace on Brady St and Humboldt Ave has only been open four month, but it's the owner's second location. My wife ordered the beef Shawarma bowl and I ordered the mixed Shawarma bowl that included both beef and chicken. Both bowls also included rice, salad, hummus, tahini and a cup of lentils soup. My wife and I both agree that the Shawarma bowls were the best that we've ever had. Five Stars. The meat was full of flavor and well seasoned. I especially loved the hummus, pickles, and seasoned olive oil. The rice was fluffy and spiced perfectly - Five stars. Tahini - 4 stars. I thought the lentils soup was good - Three 1/2 stars. You order at the counter and the food is brought to your table. The service was excellent, and seeing how the bowl was assembled, I could tell that the staff took pride in preparing our bowls. The restaurant was clean, warm, and has great ambiance. A large menu selection. Give this place a try. We are very happy customers and will be back for sure.

    2. Chicken Shawarma Bowl

    Shawarma Palace is the best!! I regularly get the Chicken Shawarma bowl to go and it's seriously so good. The food comes very quickly and is always fresh! A number of friends have gotten other things on the menu, and the consensus is the same: Shawarma Palace is unbeatable. Also, the bowl usually feeds me for two meals :)

    20. Mixed Shawarma Wrap 37. Baba Ghanoush

    Mixed shawarma wrap and baba ganoush were delicious. They're not stingy with the garlic sauce and I appreciate that big time. Workers were super cool and friendly. Highly recommend Shawarma palace if you're in the area.

Telemachus and Chue Yee were so wonderful, friendly, and attentive. The ambience is stunning, modern, very classy. I can't wait to go back!! June 2026 lunch review: We had family visiting from Chicago and so I made a reservation for 5 at noon on a Monday at Lupi & Iris, this was my first time having lunch here. Parking was easy (metered street parking) and we were seated as soon as we arrived. Our server was wonderful and our guests loved the ambiance, service, and enjoyed their quiche and hamburger. The cocktails were refreshing and the lunch course is a good deal and a great way to sample 2 or 3 different courses. I had the soup, chicken, and olive oil cake. I liked the flavors and texture but I thought my soup and chicken were overly salty. My husband ordered the Jamon sandwich and said it was "a joke". He said there was one piece of ham, the cheese was dry, the bread was chewy. He felt none of the flavors worked together and he wouldn't order it again. The desserts were wonderful, a lot of texture, flavor, and we loved the olive oil cake!

There are still lots of…read morepictures from their old location on Layton, but as of April 2025, they are inside Rayan Market & Restaurant, a Middle Eastern market (see pictures). It is a small family owned business, and mother cooks all the food. It's only been a month since they moved here from Layton, so they don't have a sign yet, but just go in to the Rayan super market, and navigate yourself to the back of the building. They do have a table off to the side inside the market if you're in a pinch and need to eat there, but I'd recommend taking the food to go. The family is friendly, and if you aren't too familiar with Mediterranean food, they will help you navigate their menu items. They have 2 types of rice. One is a smoked rice (first time I tried it, and it was good!), and the other one is cinnamon. I didn't care for the latter, but the smoked rice was delicious. I was only going to try a bite or two, but I ended up kicking myself off of keto and ate a whole bowl. Chicken special - with rice and salad Salad was a small portion of very fresh lettuce, tomato and cucumber in light oil dressing. Chicken was a bit dry for my taste. They did have the chicken in a warmer plate (like the buffet style) and it must have been sitting there a while. The flavors were good, but the dryness was disappointing. The menu says "half chicken", but we got 2 pieces of thigh+drum. In a way that's good, cuz any breast meat would have been so much more dry. Lamb special - with rice and salad We ordered the cinnamon rice for this dish and the smoked one for the chicken dish. Like I said, the smoked rice was better for my palate. The lamb was delicious. It was falling off the bones, but it wasn't dry. We got 3 large chunks of lamb with bone and one little piece boneless. In both plates, our server piled the rice so high! I hope they don't go out of business giving so much rice! But I'm not complaining. Overall, the meal was delicious and I would definitely go again. I'd love to try some of their appetizers and other meat items.

    Casablanca Brady Street has been a staple for my girlfriends and I for years even before the patio…read morewas built. We've always loved the happy hour, hookah, and food. We've enjoyed "sip and paints" here, New Year's Eve, when they offered brunch with crepes, and frequented when they had their vegetarian lunch buffet. Unfortunately, things have changed. 1. Atmosphere The décor hasn't changed. Still sleek, dimly lit, and romantic. The bathroom water wasn't working, and staff seemed aware of it when we mentioned it. How is that sanitary or up to code? Several of the chairs brought to our table were also broken, with bent legs a clear safety issue. It's typically packed on a Saturday like a dance club but it was nearly empty on a Saturday night which may be a reflection of our experience. 2. Service Our waitress was kind and attentive despite handling a large group, but the busboy was unprofessional. He started clearing plates while people were still eating and even asked my husband to reach across the table to hand over other guests' dishes. It made us feel rushed, even though the place wasn't busy. 3. Food My chicken shawarma was greasy, hard, sour, and unseasoned, almost as if the meat had gone bad. The potato balls were cut open which I've never seen and underwhelming. My husband and son's wings were over fried and tough, the spinach artichoke dip was clumpy and poorly blended, and others said the lamb chops were "okay." Honestly, the best thing I ate that night was the pita bread. 4. Overall Experience This used to be our go to for birthdays, Brady Street drag show viewing, and happy hour, but it's gone downhill. Between the sanitation issues, broken furniture, food quality, and rushed service, it no longer feels like "our spot". SO TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION.... This was hard to write because I have so many great memories here and I wanted the experience to be better. Sadly, I won't be returning.

After about 10 minutes we noticed our server changed which is no big deal. Another 10 minutes goes by and we still did not receive the drinks. We said something to our new server and then about 5 minutes after that we got our drinks. We then ordered 1 appetizer and 4 entrees. After about 30 minutes we received 3 entrees and no appetizer. We were told it would be a few minutes for the last entree. In the span of 20 minutes afterwards, we mentioned twice to the server we are still waiting for the 4th entree. Then the last entree comes with the appetizer. One of the people in the party asks for silverware as none of us received any. The server then retrieved plastic utensils with a napkin that you would get from a food truck. We then asked if we could get real silverware The amount of money this place charges and they want to give plastic silverware. Casablanca did take off the late 4th entree but only because we mentioned it. Server didn't seem to care. She rarely checked up on us. We then get the bill. The bill says it adds gratuity for parties of 5 or more after 7. WE ARE A PARTY OF 4. What kind of scam is this place running. Horrendous service. Go somewhere else please

Our server, Adam, was quick and attentive. He was funny, suggested items for us to try, and was very tentative of our friend's food allergy. We started the night with a few drinks; #39 non-alcoholic Paloma, #129 non-alcoholic sbagiato, and #33 Sherry Pear-Y. All of which were absolutely amazing! Then we ordered the Chili Crisp Deviled Eggs (comes with two pieces), Crispy Thai-Style Oyster Mushrooms, Cappelletti, Slow-braised Bison Cheek, Cha Ca La Vong (Catfish), and the Wood-fired Bavette Steak. Where do I begin? First off, everything was fantastic! Delicious, creative, and memorable. Some dishes even had us ordering seconds! First the Chili Crisp Deviled Eggs: so creamy! We ended up ordering another plate of them (four orders) because one wasn't enough for the four of us. The Crispy Thai-Style Oyster Mushroom: insanely seasoned! It was crispy and the kick of the Thai chili peppers, made it our tables favorite (we ordered another plate of this)! The bits of crunch rice mixed in was also a pleasant surprise. The bits of green beans and cucumber was a nice way to cool the kick of the spices. The Slow-braised Bison Cheek: It was very interesting. Very soft and when paired with the polenta cake, mozzarella, and carrot, it tasted amazing. Cha Ca La Vong (Catfish): Also very interesting. It tastes very similar to a Vietnamese catfish soup! The pineapple fish sauce paired amazing with the glass noodles. The only complaint I have about this dish, was that the glass noodles weren't fully cooked, so they were a bit hard. The Wood-fired Bavette Steak: My god, this was amazing! It was perfectly cooked, the dark chocolate bordelaise paired with the mushrooms and steak was incredible. Like I said, everything was amazing! Our table was blown away with the creativity and quality of the food. The service was amazing, everyone was very sweet and helpful. The atmosphere was lovely and quirky. It was fun spotting all the duck decorations. Honestly, cannot rave enough about this place, I look forward to the next time I visit!
