Yusuf's Cuisine — Restaurant in Peoria

This is a lovely new restaurant in the Bradley University area. Inside is nicely set up with comfy booths and a few tables. Very nice. The menu is a mix of expected items and a couple things I hadn't heard of before but the pictures and descriptions were very clear. We had a Yusuf's bowl, gyro bowl w fries, an order of falafel with cucumber. They were sizeable portions, especially the gyro bowl. Delicious. The cucumber sauce was chock full of cooling cucumber. The Yusuf's bowl was a mound of delicious rice, topped with seasoned, shredded chicken, almond slivers mixed in, I think they were almond, made a nice change in textures, all covered in a tahini sauce. Good comfort food. It's not a spicy dish at all, but deeply, deliciously seasoned throughout. Then we shared a knafeh, yum! And a fresh baklava. I can't wait to go through the rest...

I have to make a recommendation here! I just had Yusuf's Cuisine for the first time and I'm in heaven! The pita bread is like biting into a cloud! The grape leaves gave me everything I was hoping for, along with the baba gounush, hummus, and falafel! I also tried a delicious Arabic salad with diced cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, and mint, along with a delicious dressing. 100/10 come support this place and have an...

Such hospitallity!! Haha a great meal, everything was fresh, delicious and I've never had pita chips so light and crisp. I wonder how they get them like that?

And I say the hospitality was above and beyond they came and brought me a sefwarm cup of tea, sweetened with honey that made me, "Mmmmmmm..." like a little kid. Lol.. Perfect ending to this rainy day...
