★★★★★ This place doesn't really need a review, just try them out. The chicken shawarma wraps are fantastic. Lunch specials are a good bargain. The downside is only 2-3 people usually working here and they get backed up with orders. Also not a sit down place, only a couple tables. I would suggest taking the food to go.

★★★★★ Visited this restaurant while I was on a training and the food quality is the best. Very clean restaurant. Great prices.
I believe they need to add more sitting area so that families can come and enjoy the food. Posted on December 7, 2014 |

★★★★★ This place recently opened up and is in a strip mall with other zabihah halal restaurants. A Zabihah halal certificate is also on display from the Islamic Food and Nutrition Council.
It is a carry out place and the food is freshly prepared to order. All sandwiches are made in front of the customer (like Subway) and you can tell them what you would like on your sandwich (i.e. pickles, hot peppers, lettuce, etc)
All items are reasonably priced($4-$8) and the staff is very friendly.
Items on the menu include falafel, shawarma, steak sandwiches (my favorite), hummus, tabbouleh, and chicken kabob sandwiches.
Since the food is made to order, it does take a little longer so make sure you are not in too big of a rush. Posted on March 29, 2014 |
Clarification: new owner is Muslim, the old owners were Middle Eastern Christian |

★★★★★ Tiny but clean. More like a carry out place. However the food really gives it that extra star. We ordered the spicy mix combo plate, and loved it so much we took another one to take home. Very good service and good food. I would recommend this place to friends Posted on December 5, 2013 |

★★★★☆ The food is very tasty, but THIS IS NOT A MEDITERRANEAN place. The chicken tastes exactly like the JK kabob house chicken. Expect a very desified experience. Dine in accommodations are inadequate. The owners are nice and again the food is good but it is very desi like. Posted on December 3, 2013 |

★★★★★ This is one of my favorite places to eat on the weekends with my friends. the shwarmas are very delicious! I'm from al khobar, Saudi Arabia where we always ate at baba Habbas. Falafil hut is the only a place around here that I found that can compete in taste with baba habbas. Good service, good food and so close to home. After inquiring about it being zabiha halal the manager showed me where he receives the meat and it is without a doubt zabiha. Highly recommend you try this place out if you want some outstanding shwarma. Posted on June 3, 2013 |

★★★★★ Brother Ahmed, no doubt you have one of the finest joint for ummah. If your source of meat is Wayne Farms than you have to disclose where is "Wayne Farms". I do not able to find anything about them on google. Can you send me their link? I just want to confirm I did not eat non-zabihah meat. Posted on March 27, 2013 |

★★★★★ Our family loves shwarma and I have to say this is by my standards the best shwarma in the area. The spicy chicken shwarma was soo tasty. The only thing I have to say that could improve was seating arrangements. It is a small place so expect a wait time for the meals to be prepared as it took us 25 minutes for the food. The food was definitely worth the wait,I loved it and my kids who are very picky enjoyed it very much. When I think of shwarma, this is my number one choice hands down. Very good portions ,good service and fresh made to order meals. I really like the fact that you could see your food being prepared in front of you from start to finish so you know what's going in it.

★★☆☆☆ Just unfollow this restaurant. I used to like this place. Now seems like once the owner of a restaurant starts making money, they become cheap. The taste of there food has dropped badly. There is no taste in meat or vegetables, seems like you are eating oily fats. They won't seem me anymore. Bad luck for them Posted on November 9, 2012 |

★★★★☆ The chicken/lamb/beef shawarma taste is above average, the owner is a 1 man show so expect delays when 2-3 orders come at the same time. I do want to recommend all to eat here. Posted on October 4, 2012 |

★★★★★ mA very delicious food. Being 5$ for a plate full of rice and beef/chicken shwarma, you can't really beat the lunch special. The owner is very kind and friendly. I'm a student at a nearby college and Falafil Hut is often my choice for lunch. The building is a bit small, may Allah s.w.t. bless the owners with a larger location, iA. Posted on July 3, 2012 |

★★☆☆☆ I had to update my review due to the poor quality of food I've received recently while visiting Falafil Hut. There was so much fat in the chicken shawerma my wife and I ordered that we spent most of the time picking it out rather than enjoying our food. Very disappointing. Posted on June 29, 2012 |

★☆☆☆☆ Their so called best dish 'chicken Shawarma' is full of freakin fat. If Mr. Owner is reading, can you please visit 'I. Dream Of Felafel' zabihah restaurant located in
downtown Chicago and refresh/learn what exactly shawarma is. I love shawarma but the fat that I get along kills it all. Thumbs down Posted on June 3, 2012 |

★☆☆☆☆ It is really surprising to see many stars for this ordinary restaurant. Looks like the owner of the restaurant also owns a lot of zabihah accounts ;) hehe...anyway, I heard a lot of praise about this place from a friend so went there & was utterly disappointed. The place it's pretty ordinary and so is the food. I asked them what is their best thing. He said chicken shwarma. The shwarma was totally bland - no taste at all. The owner was more interested in talking to a white lady customer than serving me. Anyway, won't be going here again and won't recommend this place to anyone. Posted on June 1, 2012 |

★★★★★ Subhanallah one of the best shawarma restaurants around in the chicagoland area. I found this location through zabihah.com while II was visiting for job training there. It was about 25 miles away from me and from the reviews it seemed like it was worth trying.
Subhanallah, I was very please with the food. They are 100% zabihah halal and the the shwarmas were almost same to same with middle east style shwarmas. Excellent customer service, the brother directed me to place to pray salat happily without any hesitation and when Imentioned i was visiting he offered any help I needed. Inshallah i will definately be back whenever i am in Chicago area no matter how far it is. Posted on January 19, 2012 |

★☆☆☆☆ Side note - Groupon never "expires", you can always reedem the coupon for the cash value (I paid $7 and received $15 of Falafil Hut food. If I don't use the coupon within the date it "expires" then the coupon is still worth $7 of Falafil Hut food once it expires. This is called the cash value of the coupon.
I can't comment on the food, but I will comment on the service. The day my GROUPON "expired" was the day they had "a family emergency" (coincidence?) So I go in the next day and say, hey I wanted to use this Groupon yesterday but you guys had a family emergency. They guy says sorry we can't do anything for you. I say okay fine, just give me the cash value for it ($7 of FH food). The guy said "Sorry, we don't accept groupon anymore even though it may say it on the fine print. However, you can contact Groupon and get your money refunded. "
Why work with groupon when you don't agree to the terms!? Poor business conduction and customer service. Posted on January 11, 2012 |

★★★★★ Im not really a review writing person but i just had to write about these guys. It was a sunday night and my wife and I wer looking for a nearby zabiha restaurant. We spotted this restaurant and the great reveiws and also heard about it from friends.
It was about 9pm sunday night when we walked in and it seemed it was closing time for the shop and the worker was putting things away. At this point my wife and I were starving. the worker let us know that the shop was closed and we were bummed. Then the owner walks out and greets us an said "dont worry, well stay open for you guys" and was extremely nice and helpful and made our sandwiches humself.
He insisted we relax and eat even though they were closed. The food was absolutely amazing and the service was above and beyond what we expected! Two thumbs up for these guys! Alhamdulillah we were very please that there is a zabiha/halal restaurant that my wife and I enjoy vey much.
we will definately come back!!! Posted on May 10, 2011 |

★★★★★ Our relatives had reccommended falafil hut to us some time ago and we finally agreed to have some dinner there. Firstly, the place was clean and the service was very good. the employees were very helpful and attentative. Secondly, the food lived upto its expectation in our opinion. It was made fresh right infront of us! we ordered the combination and the shawarma sandwiches and when the food came on the table it was hot and fresh and done within 5 minutes! it was something new because you can actually pick out shawarma flavors!!!! the hummus and baba ganoosh were extremely delicious. we dont really live nearby the restaurant but i will definately make trips out here whenever i can becasue its worth it!!! Keep it up guys!! :) Posted on December 30, 2010 |

★★★★★ I was first a little surprised to see the desi staff. Customer service was very good and the food is just awesome! Really enjoyed the shawarma platter and loved it the rice was fresh and delicious! A very nice idea I think. I would rate the food and service excellent the. I would however advise to call ahead to avoid waiting time because it's usually busy (from my few experiences)The only drawback I think that the place is a little small. But other than that I was very pleased with the food..very delicious Posted on October 13, 2010 |

★★★★★ A friend of mine recommended falafil hut to me a couple weeks ago and i didnt live too far from it so i thought i would give it a try. I went there with my family and enjoyed it very much. the food was very delicious, flavorful and fresh. The spicy shawarma was one of the best i had and i lived in Saudi for 13 years!
Its like a fusion of indian/middle eastern which sets it apart from other places. My whole family
and I enjoyed it very much and i would definitely recommend it to everyone i know Posted on October 3, 2010 |
