The Best Middle Eastern Restaurants to Try in Chicago’s Southwest Suburbs
"Coffee culture is big in Arab communities, so it’s only fitting that Bridgeview is home to a new Palestinian-owned cafe that serves both a wide variety of coffee and traditional teas — a favorite being sage shai, which is black tea with sage leaves steeped within it — but also food and pastries. The breakfast menu is particularly expansive, with a traditional Palestinian offering of mezze like hummus and pita, plus a Yemeni-style menu that has ful and liver dishes. Yafa Cafe is also a great place to hang out for a bit if you work from home — just keep that sage shai coming." - Nylah Iqbal Muhammad
