BenjYehuda - La Salle — Restaurant in Chicago

Yum! My favorite dish here is the falafel laffa (also fun to say lol). I prefer their laffa bread over their pita as I found the pita to be a bit dry (nothing like Naf Naf's pita from heaven). The falafel is so flavorful and they mash the balls when building your laffa so it is easier to eat. I have also tried the chicken and steak and if you are dying for meat, I'd suggest the chicken. But the falafel is the best by far. They load the toppings on so this is a great place to go if you are hungry. If you are extremely hungry you can get the box which is insanely large and filled to the brim with your choice of protein, hummus, rice, cabbage, pickles, and any other topping you'd like. I would also highly recommend the fries. Oh, the fries. They are double fried! Will you find a soggy pale fry here? I think not!! Every single fry is crisped...

Mediocre at its best. As someone who is familiar with this kind of food, I was highly disappointed. The meat is fine, but most of the other things aren't. First, the "Pita" is pretty small (especially for 8$). The salads are okay, but overall the taste is so-so. What made it even worse was the greasy overly burnt fries that I tossed to the garbage after eating only several. Fries should be crunchy from the outside and mushy from the inside, which is very easy to achieve, but I got stone-hard fries, very greasy, that were close to non-edible. So overall I'd say that the Shawarma/Gyros itself is so so, and the fries were bad so bottom line it was very disappointing. I hope it will be fixed and I will love to increase the rating, cause I really like this sort of food, when...

I've been wanting to check this place for a long time and finally put in my lunch order through ritual. The place is good, clean and maintained. service seems to nice too. The main thing that really wowed me is the porti size, they have plenty of options to add in as sides/toppings and the best part is you don't have to pay extra. There's no limit on that. Also, one other thing that's interesting is you get to choose one pound or half a pound of fries as side. Yes, a pound of fries. I bet you'd love them. The food tasted good but to me it was bit dry altogether, I didn't get enough sauce on mine so maybe that's what made it feel so. I've only heard good reviews from all my friends who tried this place. Definitely worth trying and maybe I'll give this...
