Delicious halal place! You definitely need to try everything, my personal favorite is Almaty shawarma and macarons (snickers & blueberry oh yum!)

We’ve been waiting for this amazing place to open! The shawarma is absolutely incredible, and the fries are hands down the best I’ve ever had. The desserts are next-level—perfectly balanced sweetness, and the macarons are easily the best in Chicago! Everything was beyond delicious, including the tea. So happy to have you in the neighborhood—we’ll definitely be coming back. There’s nothing better than leaving a place fully satisfied and happy. Thank you for this experience! Simply the best!

This is my first time ever writing a review, but I just had to for this restaurant. The food is THAT good! Everything from the quality of the dishes to the flavors is absolutely amazing. Their pistachio dessert is especially incredible. You can tell the ingredients are high quality, and it’s not too sweet just perfectly balanced. I’ve never experienced anything like this with food before. A thousand percent recommend this place, and I’ll definitely be back!
