Clayton Hauck: Don't sleep on the lentil soup, it's great!
Matthew Sullivan: Shawerma is good but for rookies. If you want the best meal available get the egg and cheese fettia, lentil soup and vegan fig cookie with sesame seeds on top. And then stop eating meat altogether.
Erica Treais: Great lentil soup. Definitely get the falafel!

Paul Muhammad: Get the lentil soup!
Sharif Nassr: Sometimes they're late to open their location. On positive notes - the shawerma sandwiches are neatly wrapped, the falafel is fresh, spinach pies are convenient, & the lentil soup is a winter wonder.
Jeff Harding: Try the Lentil Soup. It's the best!

New American Restaurant · West Town · 10 tips and reviews
Carrie Rigdon: Exceptionally fresh, simple, flavor-focused food. The octopus salad + vegetarian options - spring spaetzle, lentil "brik" were excellent- plus a great wine and digestif list. They even had vin santo!
Maya Jimenez 😬: We enjoyed the atmosphere here and all of our dishes were amazing. We loved the lentil block, tomato salad, and salmon. Dishes were a bit smaller than we were expecting but delicious nonetheless.
David Benjamin: The donuts of the day are definitely supposed to be explored! 😋
Time Out Chicago: There’s no shortage of brunch options in this town, but few offer doro watt, those addictive, ginger-kissed chicken legs, and yesimir watt (spicy, savory lentils). Read more.
Sabina Kajtezovic: Food is yum. Order lamb or chicken with boiled egg. Lentils to die for.. try both Ethiopean and one Kenyan beer.
ashish rastogi: Daro wat and red lentils

Mandy Bast: The burgers keep me coming back (I really like the lentil burger with onion seasoning), but the slow service gets worse every time I come in. If you go, just be prepared to wait.
Steph: The lentil brown rice burger with the grandmas onion soup spice blend is out of this world !
Sara S: Passion fruit custard is amazing. Tart and creamy.

Heather Williams: Really delicious chicken swarms! Their lentil soup was also good, but not compared to Zachi
Amit Shah: Great falafel bowl, really good pitas, warm soft and chewy. Pretty Damn tasty
Rebecca Neubauer: Some of the best quick Mediterranean in the city. Ranks up there with Taza. Much better than I dream of falafel
Jamie Iacobucci: Everything!! I created my own salad...greens, cucumber, tomato, banana pepper, black lentils and I added salmon!! It was SO delicious and very healthy! They give you a small round of pita bread too!😋
Jéssica Dutra: Just around everything, but the kale salad and the couscous are superb
Amit Patankar: If you love mediterranean food or want to try it out, this would be the place. All fresh and healthy ingredients, a wonderful mediterranean chipotle like restaurant.

Tasting Table: Snag a sidewalk seat here and feast on summery dishes made with ingredients picked up at the farmers' market. Don't miss baby okra with sun-dried tomatoes, and braised lentils with feta and vinegar: Read more.
Chris LaMorte: Duck gyros. Pomegranate glaze. It will haunt your dreams. Delicious....
GourmetLive: There’s another gyro in town, and w all due respect to those before it, this one—made w roasted, pomegranate-glazed duck & slathered with a walnut-yogurt mousse—is unlike any other we’ve encountered.
