Since my wife and I have moved to the neighborhood a couple years ago, we periodically get takeout from Zebda and are almost never disappointed. The food is consistently flavorful and the menu offers a great value. There are many healthy options to try and you can order online through Yelp. I don't recommend eating in for dinner unless you are on the go and looking for a quick bite--the ambiance is more cafe then full service restaurant. read more

Great breakfast fresh ingredients friendly staff, clean environment, awesome small neighborhood spot!! cheers guys!

Had a lamb dish with some eggplant and greens on a large flat bread. It was delicious! I definitely want to go back and try more.

Super disappointing. Ordered delivery, chicken shwarma sandwich had 6 pieces of small chicken on a giant bed of greens with a tasteless cucumber sauce instead of the garlic sauce that was advertised. Soup of the day was some green soup with a bad after taste. My friend got the chicken curry salad and said that it was pretty bad too. Not sure how this place has 4 stars. Food was just terrible! read more

Eating for my first time as I type... Insanely good food, and equally insanely good prices. fast delivery. Zebda!!!!!!

This is a great place for delivery. The prices are very reasonable, and the portion sizes are pretty good for the price. I recommend the Tandori Chicken, and if you're in the mood for an appetizer, "The Plate" is a nice mix of mediterranean appetizers. read more

Picked up dinner last night at Zebda. It was a great experience. Food was very good and flavorful. I tried a few things (even the sweets). there is more to explore on the menu so I will be back. read more

I've only tried a couple of entrees there when it comes to real food (from what I remember, it was the grilled salmon), and it was all right. I wasn't blown away by it, but I'm giving Zebda four stars because of their desserts and their service. Their lemon cake is DELICIOUS. I seriously have considered buying the entire cake for myself for my birthday and not sharing it with anyone else because it tastes so good. (I did end up getting pretty much half the cake and sharing, and everyone I shared it with loved it, too). The owner is really nice, too - he gave my friends and I a variety of free desserts just because it was our first time. I highly recommend this place, at least for the desserts. read more

Im totally obsessed with the Chicken Curry Salad. The flavors are wonderful and the dressing isnt really needed because of how moist and flavorful the other components are. The eggplant panini is really good too but something about the bread just doesnt sit well with me. Regardless get the Chicken Curry Salad its life changing. read more

We tried Zebda's yesterday, on a pretty cold rainy Chicago evening. First of all, the inconspicuous storefront had us walking in circles until we spotted it. I was a little surprised at the set-up, its a take-out and delivery place and the owner said we could take our food over to the next restaurant (Tasili) which is owned by the same person. A very weird arrangement!! The food was ok. Nothing great that stood out. I tired a Chicken Tagine (which was pretty good and wholesome) and hubby, the lamb kabob (which was very uninspiring). The pastilles were stone-cold and the owner made no effort to heat it up for us. I might return to try the sandwiches, but will probably take it to-go, since the dining arrangement did not appeal! read more

Have they closed or something? I've been calling for about two weeks and no answer. Does anybody know? Their grubhub isn't working either. read more

Ordered the balsamic steak sandwich and it was fantastic. Steak was cooked perfectly, not tough at all. Brie cigars were good but didn't hold up too well via delivery, kefta pizza was great. Will be ordering from here again. Also delivery was prompt and prices were super reasonable for portion size. read more

I ordered delivery through GrubHub. Delivery was prompt; the food is INCREDIBLE; and the price is totally reasonable. Definitely going to eat Zebda again!!! read more

Small place my husband and i happened to see while in the area for some work... friendly staff and good food that was pretty fresh.. ate there a bit early, was looking for a late breakfast at the time... had sandwiches and falafel.. Will be back again to try their lunch/dinner special soon! read more

Solid Algerian food with a twist , evrything I had at this restaurant was delicious , you must try lamb couscous in Friday

Zebda is my go to delivery place and what a treat. The salmon plate with potato cakes is delicious. Very large portions, fresh, tasty and priced really well. read more

Just received my first order from this place and all I can say is that I was completely satisfied. The size of the food is suitable for the price. Plus it is very delicious. I got me and my boyfriend an eggplant two way sub and a penne pasta. I recommend both dishes. Last but not least, it did not take long for the delivery to arrive. I'll definitely order from Zebda again. read more

I'm thrilled to have this spot in my neighborhood. So yummy! Delicious food, huge portions, freshly made, affordable and vegetarian friendly! I particularly enjoyed the watermelon salad. The falafel sandwhich was very tasty, especially the flat bread. Coucous salad with apricot, roasted veggies and greens was another highlight. I can't wait to go back and explore more of the menu. read more

this place is wonderful. a diverse menu, fresh food. have eaten 1/2 the menu and still haven't found something wrong, and have too many favorites to list. Inexpensive too. some people have said the food prep is "slow". Not sure how taking 5 minutes to actually make and prepare your food is slow, but i suppose compared to McDonald's 5 minutes is slow. read more

I order from Zebda through GrubHub at least once a month. I have been impressed with everything I've ever eaten from there. Their tabouleh, falafel, kefta pizza, and Jerusalem salad are the best I've ever had! Their delivery guy is always early (I've had him show up within 20 minutes of placing an order) and is always friendly. read more

I found Zebda through Grubhub. This restaurant is fabulous! We ordered twice in the same week and everything was delicious, fresh and unique. The Brie cigars are something I now dream about at night. I have never had carry out this good anywhere. The mini kebab app is really generous and tasty. Try the Steak sandwich or Chicken Kebab dinner. Everything down to the laffa bread and sandwich bread is OUTSTANDING. I cannot wait to visit the restaurant itself! read more

We ordered from here twice in one week and it was phenomenal. First I tried the chicken kabobs; awesome. Then I tried the chicken tangine. The food was so good we decided to go there and eat in. I tried some lamb roasted with olives dish. This was one of the best meals of my life!! If you get the opportunity, I highly recommend this place!! read more

Very solid and quite reasonable! Ordered takeout and really enjoyed everything. Will be back!

I love Mediterranean food but the food here wasn't at all special. The ordered the combo plate and the rice was dry, as well as the meat and there was more rice than anything else. Only two pieces of veggies : / read more

Great food! Great prices! Great deal! I found myself at this little "whole in the wall" for dinner this evening, and did not have high expectations. I walked in an immediately saw two teenagers listening to music on the computer, bringing even more doubt to my mind. But i was soon to be in for a shock. They sprang up - turned down the volume and greeted me like we had been friends for ages. A friendly staff always key to a successful restaurant. I then ordered off the menu they have on the wall above thier tasty sides. I must say the tandori chicken is to die for. I must say the speed in which they makes the sandwiches is remarkable, after only a few short minutes he brought my sandwhich and rang me up. A total of $6.80 is what i paid for my great service and great food. A "MUST GO!" for anyone in the area. Bravo! read more

Delicious! Try the stuffed grape leaves and the veggie pastillas. Love a good restaurant that delivers! Only negative, they forgot something on my order everytime. Now I make the girl repeat it back to me, I no longer trust her. read more

I've never really had that much experience with this kind of food but I love variety and meldings of different flavors so... My co-worker mentioned she orders from this place all the time, and they deliver (we're just down Pulaski a bit) so I said next time, count me in. Boy am I glad she did! Wow! We've ordered several times since then and I try something new every time. I am convinced everything on this menu (or damn near) must be absolutely delicious. I have had: Tandoori Chicken Sandwich-large portion, very tasty Chicken Curry Salad-a delightful blend of sweet, salty, spice and savory...a must try Eggplant Two Ways-heavenly Delivery is spot on when they say. All in all, a fabulous addition to the neighborhood. It is becoming a weekly staple. And that's really saying something, since I have alwyas been a dedicated lunch bringer. Give it a go - you won't be sorry. read more

A true hidden gem of Chicago. Everything on the menu is delicious (Lamb Kefta Pizza is my go-to), and the prices are weirdly low. My brother makes me take him there every time he visits. read more

I am really having difficulty understanding how all of these ratings differ so immensely from our own experience. We ordered delivery from Zebda last night after finding them on Grubhub. We had baba ghanoush, hummus, kefta pizza and falafel plates. These are things we have eaten hundreds of times all over, from Chicago to the coasts and have lots of favorite places that are amazing and delicious. This was not one of them. In fact, we think it might have been the worst food we have had in our 6 years since moving back here from the East Coast. The baba ghanoush was thick - the consistency of bean paste, looked like cat food, had no flavor. The hummus was similarly thick, again no flavor. (hubz just interjected " they were both "mealy") My husband tried to doctor up/thin the hummus with lemon juice, olive oil and tahini we had here just to make it edible. The pizza was not great but at least it had a flavor. The falafel was a flat piece of lavash, mostly shredded lettuce and 3 strangely rubbery falafel balls w/ some ambiguous and flavorless sauce. Literally almost called them to complain. We threw over half the meal in the garbage. I am intrigued by all these ratings, but it was so beyond bad I wouldn't dream of giving them another chance after last night. read more

Ordered delivery for a group of 6. Everything we ordered was bland and tasteless. Had some red sausage stuff that we all had to literally spit out. The hummus was garbage, totally inedible. Salad was alright, but the overall experience was disappointing and I feel like I wasted $60. How does this place have 4 stars?? read more

when i decided to order food at work, i wasn't expecting to get a balsamic glaze steak sandwich with portabellos and roasted shallots, braised artichokes with fennel and lemon pickles and homemade middle eastern sweets for ten bones. the lunch box special saved my day, i'm definitely going to try it in person soon. read more

Placed order at 8:09 pm. Was promised at 8:59pm. Called at 9:00pm. Was told it would be there in a few minutes. No food. Called again at 9:15pm, they said they would locate it. Call back at 9:22pm. Their response "we cannot locate your food." Seriously. I waited almost an hour and a half for an order they never processed. AVOID Zebda! read more

We were slow to discover this place, and The Husband only randomly stumbled upon them when doing a GrubHub search for cheapest delivery rates. OMG, Zebda. OMG. Your felafel made me think of home (Melbourne, Australia, melting pot of Mediterranean fare and Middle Eastern mecca), your chicken curry salad with grilled figs and grapes blew my mind, and I want to rub myself down in your garlicky feta sauce. Every time we swoon for a new place, it ends up eventually disappointing us (service/quality falls + prices rise, typically simultaneously), and we're hoping Zebda doesn't go the same route. But for now, we love you - your reasonable prices, incredibly fast delivery, good portions, and fresh, quality produce. America is yet to fully comprehend this culinary area (please, please, haloumi, lamb and turkish bread be made available everywhere), and it's heartening to see Zebda championing the genre. read more

I am excited to have found this restaurant....food seems a cut above some of the other persian places around (even if less authentic, I don't care) I have ordered delivery a few times (have not dined in yet) and the food comes in a timely fashion and is always consistently delicious. I like that things are not greasy and overly spicey (a plus for me) and everything seems fresh...chicken good, not gristly. I also think it's a good value for portion size and of course how good everything tastes, which let's face it, is the most important part! I keep ordering the same things but plan on checking out more off the menu soon now it's getting colder...but I will say that the tandoori chicken sandwich was yum (mixed greens and dressing make it light) and the roasted veg pizza is savory and filling (loving the homemade bread on both). Keep it up Zebda and I will keep ordering and telling people to check out your fine establishment! ps the delivery guys are always nice too. read more

I cannot figure out how this place has 4 stars? I ordered takeout and although the food was warm despite the cold weather, that was the highlight. The flavors were not great and it was greasy. There are plenty of way better Mediterranean restaurants in Chicago. If you just want edible food then go for it. read more

I must admit the salmon sandwich is my favorite!! However, the combination plate w/ half veggies & half rice is fabulous. Definitely a shareable meal. The prices are supremely reasonable considering the portion sizes are lovely. Pepsi in a bottle (& coke) plus a piece of vanilla cake for dessert and a tip is a must for the friendly wait staff!! See you there soon!! This place is a hidden treasure near Albany Park & Old Irving. read more

I got the four spreads app and the curry chicken salad side. It was all okay, but none of it was especially good. The chicken side salad was huge for the price, but I mistakenly thought it would be an actual salad like the entree of the same name. It is not, it is just a creamy mix of chicken and almonds, though still okay. I added salt, cayenne, and fresh parsley to make it more flavorful. The four spreads were all okay as well, but again, nothing stood out. All needed salt and depth except the olive spread, which was too salty. Most disappointingly, I ordered it specifically to try the baba ghanoush, which was not there. There was som reddish spread instead, which tasted fine, but I would not have ordered it if I had known I wouldn't get the one item I wanted to try. Great portions for the price though. Also, the pita bread looked to be wheat and was very hearty. Honestly, I would go back, I know they will make something that is great, I'm just not sure what that is yet. Maybe the baba? Would love to try it! read more

I had my first Zebda experience this Saturday, and it was great! the food is fresh and homemade, and you get a ton of it. I had the falafel, which came with a big side salad (and by "side salad" they mean anything from couscous to potato to chicken, in a portion that would make a meal of itself.) The people are very pleasant, and I always love supporting family businesses. read more

DUDE...ZEBDA LIVES!!!!! Yes, it was closed, but tonight, a couple of months after I had given up on the place, I checked their website just to torture myself and they were up and running again. I have just eaten my first tandoori chicken sandwich in months, and it was exactly as I remembered. Zebda will now resume its place as my favorite delivery restaurant. read more

This is not only my favorite neighborhood restaurant but also one of my favorite restaurants in Chicago. I came across it by accident and I regularly order from there. The food is always fresh, delicious and the staff is very nice. I have recommended this restaurant to so many people who all love it!!! read more
