A Guide to the Middle Eastern Restaurants in Chicago’s Southwest Suburbs
"Yemeni cuisine is well loved beyond Yemen in the Arabic-speaking world, with clusters of Yemeni restaurants in major cities like Amman and Cairo. Shibam also has an extensive menu with classics like mandi (rice dish with meat), plus meat stews saltah and fahsa. Shibam offers breakfast and Yemeni-style ful, prepared atop charcoal. While they make their own desserts, like arika, made with dates, bread, and honey, Shibam has a Chicago location on North Elston Avenue." - N.A. Mansour
