The food here is cheap and delicious! The falafel, shwarma, etc. is wrapped in a wrap-style pita (as opposed to pocket-style). I love the lamb shwarma here, but the falafel is also excellent. The service is very fast and friendly and you have to love the cheesy postcard-style pictures of Lebanese landmarks on the walls.

I had the gyro sandwhich and it was good. I also got a side of mac and cheese that was really cheesy and good and not expensive at all.

WOW, What A WEDDING!
i have gotten to the tail end of my friends getting married so i am a bit jaded with wedding food and banquet halls. i was pleasantly SHOCKED at the fabulous wedding i attended at Pazzo's at 311 south wacker. don't confuse it with the others, this one is in a 3 story glass atrium which is the coolest place to have dinner for a wedding - nothing like those boxy banquet halls.
The ceremony was right where we ate dinner just 45 minutes later. we didn't even notice the turnover. and the food! it tasted like i ordered a filet, mashed potatoes and fresh sauteed veggies right off the menu of a great steak restaurant. not at all like banquet food. service was great, bartenders were fast, the alcohol offerings were plenty diverse and they offered like 8 different beers! even the coffee tasted great.
i wish the parking ws cheaper down there. but that's what you would expect from a downtown event. valet would have been nice. HAVE YOUR WEDDING HERE! i wish i did. i had no idea such a great place existed in the Loop. I hear the price is right, also. We thought they paid a lot more (so we gave a lot more for the gift).
Pros: food, service and really unique setting
Cons: cost of parking

I'm so glad I finally stopped in here... the menu is full of Mediterranean standards: lots of hummus, falafel, baba, etc., but they can put it together in interesting ways, like the Ali Baba pizza I had once, which has roasted eggplant, olive, hummus, and lots of goat cheese on a nice fresh pita. The menu does have some meat on it, if that's your thing, but there's an abundance of vegetarian options, all for very reasonable prices. They also have some smoothies I've been meaning to try, which sound good and are under $3. Service is quick and competent. Vey nice, soothing atmosphere, too.
Pros: Delicious veggie value
Cons: So far, so good

If this is the restaurant now called Abibi, then it's amazing. Located at the corner of Magnolia and Devon, this beautiful restaurant features all the traditional favorites. Wonderful shish tawook, buttery rice and the sauteed veggies made the perfect dinner. We had a combo appetizer with tangy grape leaves, crunchy falafel and amazing hummus. The pita was perfect because you could actually pull it apart. It wasn't a hard piece of cardboard like some places. The second we sat down, we enjoyed some of the most fantastic tea. Wonderful service, so friendly.
Pros: Fantastic food, great service, GREAT prices
Cons: None

Its a great restaurant with great service. Very inexpensive for the large amount of food you get. I recommend getting the shish taok meal, which comes with lemon rice, grilled chicken, grilled onions and you get a side of pickles and a salad of tomotoes,cucumbers and lemon juice, also you get about 4-5 pita breads all for under $10. It says it serves one person but I usually share with the hubby and have plenty left over. Its really delicious and I've been going there for years and have always been treated great.
Pros: Price, Parking, Made fresh from when you order
Cons: it's a small restaurant and they only have a couple of tables if you go when busy

This deli has so much variety and couldnt get over how good their dips were. I had a very nice conversation with the staff there and I felt so comfortable asking questions about all the foods they serve.
Such nice people who have a passion for what they do. Do yourself a favor and check them out.
This place is a gem for sure.
Pros: Dips made fresh daily
Cons: I wish it was next door to my house.

I've seen people complain the decor is a bit lacking. It was fine by me, and given the neighborhood (3800 N Broadway) it looked like the Taj Mahal in comparison. The food was phenomenal - I got a yogurt kebab and a rice-dish entree. Both were supremely well seasoned, and the only meat I've ever had that was as tender and well cooked as the meat on my kebab is a filet mignon from one of our best steakhouses (Joe's).
Big fan, if it was closer, I would certainly go more often. Portions are "American"-sized too, so expect to take some home if you order an entree/kebab a person.
Pros: Amazing dishes, from appetizers to entrees to kebabs
Cons: Menu WAY to extensive
