Friends house bakery & Restaurant — Restaurant in Maine Township

Hello there, Dom here your local Chicago guide, I’ve been now to friends bakery a few times and tried out a couple of things, absolutely love the manaeesh especially the shaktoura, in my opinion the best manaeesh in town and always recommend having them fresh then and there, breakfast is awesome, still haven’t tried any of the pizzas or burgers they look delicious, the bread is always consistent, restaurant is clean so are the bathrooms. Presentation is also nice this is a good place to come with groups or some friends or even couples for good breakfast. No complaints or critiques over all great job, the lahm bajeen can take some more spices and would recommend adding some tomatoes, onions or pickles and parsley to the side, the Mhammarah can take some more spicy kick into it, love the fairuz in the morning, music playlist gives some nice touch. This place is really good and I think is a hidden gem, might lack some social media presence, this place is authentic and lot of things are home made and comes with a touch of love for the food, I would also recommend for some TikTok or insta reels to bring out the art that this place...

Very clean! The food is prepared/ cooked fresh. They love what they are doing which makes everything in their menu so delicious. Whatever you see on the menu is meant to be which means they make it at its best. Food is seasoned right. I appreciate the chef not making everything salty but nicely seasoned. Honestly eating the bread alone is so delicious , how could you not like freshly baked bread. We ate what we can and ordered different items from the menu to take home, the next day removed from the fridge and warmed ,it’s still tasting so fresh. So happy to have Friends house bakery and its special menu in town nearby because this style is only available far in the southside area of Chicago and they don’t even taste close! Will definitely...
