    This is a halal Mediterranean restaurant very close to ORD. Therefore, it's a very convenient place to have lunch/dinner before entering the airport. The food was quite tasty, from the flavorful rice to the spicy meats. They only have beef and chicken, some lamb would have been great. They also have middle eastern dessert like baklava etc. The staffs were also friendly and there were plenty of parking spaces. Only downside is that more white sauce would have been desired.

    Combination Plate

    I had a taste for some Mediterranean food and wanted to try this spot. So the ambiance is really nice and they have tables where you and four friends can meet up and just chill. The service is friendly too and I was greeted with a smile and menus are at the register if you are taking out orders. The food was ok I got the combination so I can try their meats out. The chicken was sort of dry and no seasoning or flavor and the lamb was was ok but I did love the beef it was juicy. The yellow rice was good and it wasn't dry at all l. I wish they could give more meat for the price I paid. But it's nice place just pricey but they don't give enough of the meat for the price you pay.

    Beef, lamb, and chicken kebab combination plate! 10/10!!

    Scrumptious!! Highly recommended!! This was my first time here, I ordered the combination plate to go. Everything was hot and fresh, very flavorful, tender and delicious! The lady behind the counter was very helpful, friendly and so patient, I felt valued as a customer!! It was a little on the pricier side but the portion size, freshness, and geat service made up for it! I will be back!

    Delicious food and really good flavor. Friendly service, cute little dining area. My kifta kabob was too good and my friend loved her wrap. I loved the fries too. Can't wait to come back!

    This is good mediterranean. The chicken is well cooked, no danger there! Mostly brown meat, which I enjoy. Also ordered the plate. It is not heavy on the spices, I am used to more, but it is not bland. The hummus is very soupy. Baby hummus is what I call it. But again, enjoyed it. . Service was excellent. Overall satisfying meal.

    Great food, a bit pricey agree with other Yelpers. Fresh though and tasty! The baba ghanooj has my heart. Service quick, ordered pick up, looks clean. Never ate for dine in yet.

    Sultan Kebab and Shawarma in Des Plaines took our late evening door dash request and we were delivered love in take out containers. We ordered the Chicken Kebab w rice and Falafel as well as a salad. Out of this world! The chicken was savory and tender with a perfect grilling, the rice was soft with a delicate flavor. The Falafel was the best I've had light and crisp outside and soft with subtle flavor inside not too dense. Which is not easy to achieve! The sauces provided were light and tasty, I'm not used to the style of garlic sauce they make but it was very good. I had to call the restaurant because they hadn't approved the order but the Gentleman answering the phone was gracious and friendly saying no problem I'll take care of it. All I can say is... THANK YOU! after a long day and stress this was the perfect element, keep up the good work, keep showing the love in your food.

    So to start off I came here 8 months ago on the day of my prom and I'd decided to spend it hanging out with a friend of mine. Nonetheless when we came here it was a little into the afternoon around 8:24 but surprisingly while all the other restaurants nearby were preparing to close up for the day they were still open which was nice. As we entered I came to take a liking to the environment as it had a very humble and laidback aura to it which I greatly enjoyed, and their seating and table arrangements were quite nice so it made for a rather memorable interior. The food was a bit pricey, but for a smaller business it is understandable and I didn't mind it all that much. However when it came to the quantity it was rather lackluster, but the food was alright, nothing to write home about. Unfortunately though my friend ended up having a hair in his food so that wasn't too pleasant, but the staff handled his situation excellently by offering to remake his order while also putting in an additional item for his troubles. After we finished eating we decided to stay around a little longer before leaving, and needless to say I enjoyed my time eating here. Would love to come again sometime soon and try out other things on their menu.

I thought from our front that it was some type of community center but once inside it was nothing but WOW factors. ::The Ambiance:: The inside of this restaurant is like nothing I've seen before. The steep A-Frame design showcased a beautiful and airy scenery and the stained glass gave a celestial vibe. The patio is overlooking the lake and was very scenic. ::The Service:: From host to waitress, everyone was friendly and attentive. Everyone was on the ball and very personable and warm. ::The Food:: The food and drinks were top-notch. Had the Smokey mezcal drink and strawberry vodka drink and both were superb. The Lebanese chicken wings and the flatbread were extremely flavorful and savory. The highlight was the caviar toast. DAMN!!! Pricey (it's caviar, duh!) but worth every penny. We come out to Chicago/Rosemont area at least once a year, and I will be looking forward to frequenting this establishment again in the future!

    A renovated church on Lake Opeka where the cocktails preach better than the entrées…read more The setting does the heavy lifting, and it earns it. Big lot, quiet stretch of shoreline on the northwest side of town, and then the building itself sitting right on the water. Genuinely gorgeous on approach. Inside is a soaring converted church, and the first ten seconds are impressive. The tradeoff is exactly what those bones promise: it echoes, and it gets loud. Plenty of space beyond the main dining room too, with offshoot rooms they use for private parties and events. **Service** Our server ran the table like it was a chain casual spot, which isn't what this room calls for. Pushy pace, back every two minutes clearing plates we were still eating from, no sense of letting the meal breathe. It doesn't need to be steakhouse formal. It just needs to slow down and match the setting. Credit where due, they brought out a sparkler for the birthday, which always lands. **Food & Drink** - **Chicken Shawarma Rolls** -- excellent. Phyllo, cabbage, red peppers, mozzarella, spicy garlic aioli. Best thing we ate. - **Appetizers overall** -- consistently good, clearly the kitchen's strength. - **Raw bar** -- oysters, crudos, poke bowls, towers. Looks like the real move here. Going that direction next time. - **Halo Del Santo** -- spot on. Reposado, guava, coconut liqueur, lemon, tajín rim. Cocktails across the board were perfectly made. - **Steak** -- fine. Average. The mains were the weakest part of the menu, which stings at this price point. - **Banana sticky toffee pudding** -- I've had amazing versions. This wasn't it. **Verdict** Round it to **4 stars**, honestly a 3.5. Worth seeing the space once on its own. Treat it as an elevated happy hour, drinks plus apps plus raw bar, and it's a genuinely good time. Order deep into the mains and the value drops off. Slow the service down and it jumps half a star without changing anything in the kitchen.

I was a quite disappointed because we went on Saturday at 6:30pm and they were completely out of all pide, ezme, haydari, and the pickles so the menu was pretty limited.

The entrees also said they come with bulgar and rice but we did not have any bulgar on our dish..it also said we should have roasted peppers and onions, which were not on our dish either. I assume they were out of all of those? We really wanted hummus but it was not on the menu. When we finished our meal, we noticed the table behind us had hummus... it would have been nice to know they had hummus. Also, we really wanted to try the manti but did not see it on the menu. At the end of the meal, my husband wanted a coffee and the waitress said there was no coffee and the machine was broke. Service was ok. Waitress forgot our drink. Not very attentive. Dining area is small but cute. They are planning to expand the dining area so there really isn't much of a market anymore. Prices are pretty high in comparison to most Turkish/middle eastern restaurants. They do give you yummy bread and Babaganoush. I want to try it again in hopes that other menu items are available.

I tried the lentil soup which was wonderful and I had the mushroom guvec with rice on the side that was delicious. We were served tea as an after dinner refresher which was nice. We noticed the bakery on the way out and they had so many treats ready to be ordered and taken home. The second visit was terrible. I came for lunch on a Tuesday and it wasn't busy. The lahmacon is offered as a lunch special and I asked if I could have the cheesemacon for the special. It's the same version with just cheese and no meat. My waiter Jamal straight told me no. I found that very odd so I inquired further because they are the same price on the menu and it's without meat. The answer still didn't change. I simply had a few more questions about other menu items and Jamal seemed agitated by then. He was not even trying to be nice. I ordered two entrees. I paid full price for the cheesemacon and had a pide with kashkaval cheese. Jamal brought my food and NEVER came back to my table. I watched him provide service to all the other tables during that time. I was fine and didn't need anything, but I didn't deserve to be treated that way for being pleasantly inquisitive. I really felt bothered by this because out of all my years of eating out, I never felt that a server treat me poorly personally for being myself. I've had bad service before just because the service is bad overall and that is different. I like the food so I reluctantly returned for a third time and had breakfast. Service was standard and the food was good. My mushroom omelette was fine. The traditional french toast was solid. This review should be one star but it is four without Jamal.

I've since visited the Niles location several times. The food has always been consistently excellent, but unfortunately the service has never matched the quality of the kitchen. Today's visit was by far the worst. It took over 10 minutes for our server to come to the table to take our order. Throughout the meal, I had to repeatedly flag her down whenever we needed something. To make matters worse, she seemed to disappear halfway through dinner--I'm assuming she clocked out--because we had to get another server's attention just to receive basic assistance. The food, however, was fantastic. I ordered the Al Bawadi Seafood Mixed Grill, and it absolutely delivered. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly.

Crispy, cheesy, garlicky. Need I say more? Get some extra garlic on the side if you wanna take it up a notch. Fried halloumi: 4/5. These are like a soft mozzarella stick, so tasty. Definitely eat the pickles with them. Lamb chops: 4.5/5. 4 tender lamb chops seasoned beautifully. Definitely recommend the red rice over the yellow if you can handle a little bit of heat. Kanafeh: 5/5. Whoever thought that cheese, sweet syrup, phyllo, and pistachios would go together is a genius. Definitely don't leave without getting this dessert. The salt of the cheese perfectly balances out the sweetness. No notes! And get some peppermint tea to go with it too. And the portion sizes are huge! Definitely get your money's worth here. My only issue is this place is right by my job so now I'm gonna go broke getting food here all the time. But that's a problem I'd love to have!

Employees are friendly and they have a small dining area in the restaurant. It's a bit expensive compared to comparable restaurants in the area like Pita Pita/Pita Inn but it's still a decent spot to get some Mediterranean food from.
