Awesome incredible delicious food. I did the plate with a side of lentil soup, and a drink. For $18 it's basically the same price as anywhere else except the food is so much better, and so much more healthy. It was incredible. The lentil soup was just lentils and broth, but somehow had an incredible flavor. It's about 40° today and raining so it was also a nice thing for the weather. Onions and cabbage and cucumber tomato add ons were all very tasty, each with its own flavor and so delicious. I could probably be happy with just a plate of these. There was an option to get regular or spicy hummus. The spicy is a really nice touch, my stomach is not very happy with my choices though. The pita bread for the hummus is so soft, I'm very impressed. All bread should be this good. I chose the chicken schwarma, it was cold and I didn't really taste anything. Next time I'll just get the steak or the crunchy chicken. The rice was okay, it could have used a little flavor. I got the jalapeno skugh or bushka or however you spell that sauce. It helped with the rice and chicken, but it wasn't enough to make me eat it all. I couldn't finish all the food. There is ginger ale in the fountain drinks, which is very good. The menu says bottled drinks, but I was informed there were none. I was pretty tired when I parked, but I feel wide awake now, probably from the food that most places don't serve. I'm also very full, it was quite enjoyable, and I would return as often as possible. I almost forgot the falafel, it's delicious. I really would like to see kibbeh and meat filled grape leaves, and beef schwarma...
Read moreSo this location was in a love's travel stop in Illinois. I'm from CT. Mediterranean food is pretty popular out there and one of favorite cuisines. So I was excited because I'm a truck driver. If you don't prepare your own meals. Options are very few.Naf Naf tried but didn't hit the mark. The staff was awesome. The food not so good. I got the steak , rice, spicy humus, and vdziki sauce. I say tatziki but hey. Although the steak was tender it was too overseasoned, couldn't tolerate the salt and tumeric, yeah I said tumeric, definitely not the Mediterranean I'm accustomed too. The Yellow Basmati rice was flavorful . That's pretty much all I ate off the plate along with the humus . I had a small piece of baklava the filling was delicious but the phyllo dough was burnt. The food was served on cardboard plates. By the time I got ready eat. The food was nearly falling through the plate. All in all the staff was great... 2 thumbs up...
