Excellent service, atmosphere is intimate and well decorated! Food was amazing! Chicken kebabs were great!
Absolutely LOVE this restaurant!!! Every time I visit Chicago, this is on my list! Food is delicious and not overpriced. The lamajun is AMAZING as well as the chicken, rice, and hummus. Staff is helpful and friendly. The environment is cozy, inviting, and dimly lit which adds to the atmosphere. Located off Michigan Ave, it’s in the perfection spot and is truly a hidden gem!
