A new little restaurant owned by a very nice Jordanian family. Great to find as the food was fresh and very tasty. It is a must-go and they also have a $6.99 lunch special which is very generous of them. This little area of Morton Grove has Mediterranean, Pakistani, Afghanistan, Italian, Filipino and Japanese all on one block!

Lunch special

A local neighborhood that is clean and efficient. Ordered their lunch special which was great $$. Got rice salad gyro meat and kabob. The rice has flavor and the meat was soft and succulent. Yasmin the chef is so kind and friendly! Definitely going to be a favorite carry out place for me although they have minimal seating. Everything to love!

Garage looking type of brewery in Niles in some industrial type of building. It seems there's a lot…read moreof these, but this is among the good ones. Une Annee is one of the reasons to go to this pretty boring looking suburb. Hit up the bar for some cold ones plus on site made food. The prices aren't bad for craft beers and kitchens. A pretty impressive looking building. It's big and can fit hundreds. This is like a massive garage with a bar and a kitchen. First though it's a brewery. It's about $6 a pint. The one I liked the most was the Twist Of Wit. It's a wheat beer with Cara Cara oranges, coriander, and Meyer lemon. Tasted fruity but not too much. Also we got some food, which was actually good for a brewery. Vegan options are limited but there's a few. It's $6 for the Veggie Chili. This is vegan without the sour cream sauce. Also there's barbecue. There's pork belly and that kind of stuff. Beers are the best things to get here. It also has food from an on site kitchen. There's meaty options like pork and there's chili for vegetarians.

The wait staff has always been friendly and the kitchen staff really churns out consistently delicious options. Food You can never go wrong with the brisket and all of their sandwiches we've tried have a great smoky flavor. The pizzas are the kind you want while drinking a beer and watching a game; light, but great toppings options, including various bbq if you want something a bit more substantial. The topped mac & cheese is great too, and my partner & I both love the chili. Drinks Murder Hornet is the kind of summer beer you want on a hot day. Their rotation of flavors, such as blackberry, passion fruit, mango, etc, are a lovely, crisp option when you're looking for a lighter beer. Their stouts do not disappoint either, with flavors ranging from vanilla to hot pepper, each one provides a unique twist to my favorite style of beer. And they have most of their beers in to go packs and available in flights, making it very convenient to try all the styles. The Staff I can't speak highly enough about my experience with both the wait and kitchen staff. You do all of your ordering through QR codes on the table, but that doesn't stop the folks serving you food and drink from being extremely friendly and welcoming. They are all very down to earth and quick to help if you need anything. The kitchen staff are truly the magicians. The food is always so consistent and I honeslty don't know how they put together some of these meals so quickly, but keep them looking so presentable. The Bad Tonight was the first time I was truly disappointed in Une Année as a business. During dinner right after the soccer match finished, a member of the staff (or maybe an owner?) came in yelling at the kitchen staff, and I mean screaming, in front of all the indoor customers. Although we were unsure what he was saying, the contents of his tantrum were not important. It is NEVER acceptable to treat any staff member that way, in front of customers or not, and multiple times throughout the night. The kitchen staff did not raise their voice, except one time to ask this man to stop yelling at them. Several of the kitchen staff seemed to have walked out from the abuse by the time we paid up and left, and rightly so. Even as they were leaving, he was still taking jabs at them. I'm extremely bummed that I will likely not be returning after years of patronage as I feel gross supporting a business that is willing to be so disrespectful towards their staff.

We've always enjoyed the tip-top delicious chicken, pork, and duck products from here.  Mrs. Tam is the youngish lady owner here, and don't fret, her English is quite good too!  They make their products right downstairs in the basement, and you might see a fresh batch of whatever being brought up.   Their prices naturally won't be quite as cheap as in a Chinatown, but the difference is very reasonable and you can consider it a convenience charge for not having to commute into the city.  Thumbs up and that thumb has been up going on 12 years+ now!

Flame On Peri Peri is a singular restaurant serving hot ass food. Kind of seems like it mixes American fast food with Mediterranean options such as chicken and falafel among protein options. This type of cuisine typically uses meat but there's a falafel option for those getting the meaty stuff. After hearing about it one time, I came here. It's located in a nice strip mall building, modern looking. This is an order at the counter type of restaurant. Has some spicy ass food. There's a sort of Mediterranean fast food kind of feel too. It's about $10 for one of the Rice Bowls. The vegan option for protein is the falafel. These were plentiful, a good value. Also you get a choice of sauce, and I got the creamy hummus. This also came with hot and white garlic sauce. It was fucking ass hot. This had serious hot peppers in there. For sure I would go here again. It's expensive so not all the time of course. There's a pretty big menu full of options like bowls, pitas, and salads, and there's options for both meat eaters and vegetarians.

We didn't notice until our way out but they also have a drive-thru, and signs that say they offer delivery/are on DoorDash, so with multiple options, Charcoal Flame is convenient. This building looks like it possibly used to be an old 90s/00s KFC or Pizza Hut or something, but it's cozy and clean and we love an easy access parking lot. The menus are expansive and you order at the counter when you walk in. There are plenty of tables for dining in, and a few were taken while we were there. There was a steady stream of phone orders coming in for pick up, and the restaurant was busy overall. We were helped right away and the staff at the counter were so friendly. I ordered a Maxwell street sausage as a meal ($5 additional for a drink and fries) and my partner ordered the American Gyro sandwich and also as a meal. We grabbed a table and our drinks from the fountain machine and only waited a few minutes for the number on our receipt to be called with our order. The food here is so fresh and delicious. This is one of the best Maxwell street sausages I've had around, the bread was perfect and soft inside and crispy on the outside with the sausage split and grilled and perfectly sweet caramelized onions. The fries looked like they came in frozen/pre-cut but were fried up perfect and a generous portion. The Gyro came stacked with meat, it wasn't dry, and had great flavor. Because the food was so delicious I decided to grab a piece of baklava to go, which I was assured was homemade and delicious - and they were right. So sweet, fresh, textured, rich, luxurious. Don't skip the baklava when you stop by! This is definitely a spot that will be added to our regular rotation of lunch/dinner spots around town. Thank you so much Charcoal Flame Grill for a wonderful experience with super friendly staff! Can't wait to see you soon and try more menu items!
