Having emerged from the Daley Center looking for something to eat, I chanced upon this restaurant. Now, as an Israeli, I'm very picky about Mediterranean food, which is similar in many respects to Middle Eastern food. I went in and ordered some hummus, 3 falafel balls, and two warmed-up pitas.

It was extremely hot today and I was starving, desperately looking for a good place to eat. This place came up on my Google map and showed it was similar to one of my favorites in Wicker Park for Mediterranean food.
