Jarasa Kabob - Jefferson Park

Wow! I KEPT forgetting to post about this place, but I went 3 times in their first opening week. The food is THAT good and I think it’s a perfect addition to the neighborhood. Sometimes they give little lentil soup samples too. The owners are nice and welcoming. They cleaned it up nice from what it was before and lots of seating. They have some awesome lunch specials as well during the week that are great must have deals!

Absolutely loved this place . This quick serve restaurant goes above and beyond with hospitality. . Not only were we greeted with such kind smiles but we were given some complimentary lentil soup to taste while we made our decisions. He shared with us the lentil soup is his mother’s recipe and I felt so special to have tasted her recipe . The food was so fresh and all the meat was so juicy and delicious. All of the entrees came with salad and spread option and sauces . Me being a girl I had so much difficulty deciding which sauce to try . The man gave me a little of each to try . So sweet . We ordered the mix grill and it was enough for us to enjoy at the restaurant and some more for later too .I really enjoyed this place for its freshness , kind staffed , and affordability. I plan to be back again soon .

I’ve just moved to the neighborhood and have visited twice and loved it BOTH times. They’re a great late night spot with great customer service. As soon as you walk in they’re attentive and greet you. The other night when we walked in they offered us a free sample of their lentil soup before we could even order!!!! The same guy has been the one to take our order and he’s so patient and kind. We’ve had both a bowl and an entree and they’re two different experiences - but still so good. The photos of our last visit we ordered the Entree’s which are great if you want a full dinner feel! The place is never overly packed, it has a diverse crowd each time and it’s always clean. Excited to continue visiting and trying new dishes!

Amazing food and ALWAYS fresh. Their catering trays were fantastic also and fed 8 people for only 180 dollars. All of my friends asked me where I got it from, so they were impressed as well. I probably eat out from here once or every other week, it’s seriously that good!!!

This was my first time here and I am not disappointed! I had an online order but when I picked it up the service was very good and the restaurant was super clean. The food was also THE BOMB! Seriously so good and everything tastes so fresh. I got two bowls for two people but definitely could’ve shared the portions were very big and I loved it. Will 100% be coming back.

Amazing experience at Jarasa Kabob in Jeff Park! The customer service alone deserves a shoutout—Rashed and Francisco were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to give great food recommendations. You can tell they genuinely care about the customer experience and the food they are making. I ordered the combo shawarma bowl, and it was absolutely outstanding. The flavors were bold, well-seasoned, and everything tasted incredibly fresh. From the perfectly cooked meats to the balance of spices and toppings, every bite was on point. Between the exceptional service and the delicious food, this place is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back.

Jarassa Kabobs is a great new addition to the neighborhood. They did alot to modernize this location. This is our family go-to for dinner. The smell coming from the grill and shawerma make my mouth water. Go with the spicy rice. The staff is genuinely friendly, whether you’re ordering or picking up catering. They sometimes hand out lentil soup samples. Even my kids clean their plates every time.

Been here a few times. I like thier food. Closest middle eastern food to me. Food is fresh and hot. I usually get the entrée steak and chicken. Hummus and garlic sauce is good. Clean location. I've ordered through third party and had stuff missing. Order over the phone and same results. Stopped coming in and tried again later. They had everything we ordered finally. Great way to win me back. Tried thier lunch special Chicken Shawarma wrap. Its a lot of food for one. I'll come back again.

Decided to give this place a try. Food was excellent. It was very clean. The girl at the counter was very helpful. The feta fries were amazing. We tried it with chicken and garlic sauce. Can't wait to try more.

This is such a lovely restaurant! The staff are extremely friendly. As we were waiting for our food to be done, they gave us a free lentil soup sample! It was delicious too. After observing their assembly process for the bowls, I can tell they put a lot of effort into preparation. It's clean as well. And, of course, the food tasted amazing and fresh. On top of that, we didn't eat in the restaurant, but it is beautiful in here!! Marble tables and all new furniture. It was literally sparkling inside.

Food was great! Fresh and tasty. Generous portions. Service was great! Very polite. Clean restaurant! Plenty of parking. I'll definitely be coming back again and again.

New business alert!!!!! What a totally a vibrant and busy place! It's a good thing when you see the hustle and bustle. Located in beautiful Jefferson Park on the corner of Milwaukee and Foster. They share the lot with Firestone but everyone in that lot was there for them. I had the pleasure meeting one of owners Rawan and she was working helping getting out the many orders. It's that hard work we respect and love. Customer service is phenomenal and top notch. Pricing is affordable without compromising the quality of the food. Food quality is 10 out of 10! My suggestion is to get the dinner combos and portion sizes are huge. Come hungry. As for food suggestions: I would do a chicken breast kabob and steak kabob mix and don't forget the lentil soup. Very clean place and the renovation turned this old place is something shiny and new. Congratulations on the success of this place, I am officially a customer for life!! Welcome to the neighborhood!

A new satellite version of the authentic Mediterranean restaurant of the same name in Skokie that gets such glorious reviews. It's hard to fathom why it's not swamped with Gladstone Park customers, who are so often found complaining about no top-notch eateries in their neighborhood! Because we were in a hurry on our first visit and unprepared for the full menu of meals, we got lamb kabob wraps to go (about $9 each). Fabulous! Real meats are carved or roasted in front of you and it's halal high quality. Although many people do take out, it's fast casual with really nice booth seating for dining in. My only recommendation is to improve the dining-in atmosphere by perhaps adding some curtains and other decos and (definitely) toning down the bright lighting. Has a parking lot it shares with a neighboring business so it's easy in, easy out.

Decided to try this new spot where a legendary gyro place had been for years. Glad to see it's remodeled and cleaned up. Among other things we had the feta fries with chicken and garlic sauce. Amazing! The young lady at the counter was very helpful. Can't wait to go back and try more.

Love this place! Mohamed is the best! Get the lentil soup and feta fries with whatever you order.

So glad this place is in my neighborhood. The food is always good, the staff are very friendly, and inside is always clean. The hummus is best I've had and steak shawarma is always on point!! You cannot beat the lunch specials/prices and they give plenty of food.

I have been to Jarasa Kabob a few times, this review is long over due. This spot is wonderful the food is great. I have had several items on the menu. The chicken kabobs, mixed grill, chickpea salad, hummus, baba ghanouj, falafel, the yellow rice, the spicy rice (super spicy) and the lentil soup. Everything is fresh the falafel were hot. They have specialty sodas, I had one that was pineapple. Over all a yummy meal! You are able to see the food being cooked behind the counter. The restaurant is super clean and brightly light and has cute lighting. The people are friendly and always ask if we need anything or how was our meal. This last time they brought our food out to us. I will be returning and this will be on my rotation of places to eat.

The staff is friendly and answered all of my questions about the menu. The food was delicious. I got a steak shawarma bowl and enjoyed all of the flavors. The lentil soup was also very good. Will definitely be back to try more of the menu.

It was amazingggg authentic Mediterranean food and worth the visit. 5 out of 5 stars for food

Jarassa kabob, incredibly amazing!! I love the food there I love how they improved on doing their kabobs and making them juicy, I love how everything comes out fresh!! Despite the fact it does take a minute to be ready but even tho!!!!! This is not fast food restaurant, everything they cook is fresh which is great

Will give it another try. The baba ghanoush was fantastic.. unfortunately they were out of hummus. The falafel was excellent. Unfortunately the chicken kabobs were so dry they were terrible and not much meat on the shawarma sandwich. Also forgot my wife's rice with her dinner had it for takeout .but it's still a new place and will definitely give it one more try.also the workers were very nice.

Still thinking about the cuisine here! I cannot wait to go back lol! Seriously worth it!

Food was delicious. I had the chicken kabob entree. Came with a salad and a side of hummus or baba ghanoush. So glad it is within walking distance to my home.

I went to the Milwaukee Ave location yesterday. I've been wanting a new middle eastern restaurant to open near me. So I tried to order online , but it kept taking me to the Skokie location . So owners be aware you can't go to the Milwaukee Ave location to order. So I went to the location. First it was 2 pm and the place was empty, but absolutely spotless . So clean in side . I ordered a chicken kabob plate , it was pricey at almost 17 . It came with two salads and two sauces. I also ordered a veggie plate , hummus, falafel, two salads again . They offered a fava bean salad, very different . Last a large lentil soup , I always judge my restaurants by the soup . The employee offered a sample of soup , perfect for a cold day . It was delicious. My food was cooked , my order was packed up very well. The chicken kabobs were very good . The chicken was seasoned and moist . The yellow rice was very good , and I do like the chard veggies added to the rice . Veggie plate was okay , falafel needed more seasoning. Salads were good . I would definitely come back for soup and chicken kabob sandwich. But I would definitely go back .

Finally Jeff Park has something new! The food was fresh and the soup sample they gave out was Delish! I know where I'll be getting some soup this winter when I get under the weather. Only feedback I'd have is to add some more meat to the wrap! I got the Steak kabob wrap and expected a little more meat. Very clean and ample booth space for a larger family.

Amazing food. Wonderful, friendly staff. I highly recommend this place. I mentioned it was my first time, and the man at the register was sure to make it memorable. He was very patient and talked through what I might like. His suggestions were on point! My whole family was happy with everything!

Bowl is insane value. Tasty shawarma. They don't mess around with the sauce. Tabouleh is perfecf, lemon notes more than present. Falafel is amazing. Don't trip, pull up here and get fed right. If you know anything at all, you'll eat here for life.

Disappointed. Gave them a chance twice in a week. Waited for my food for so long yet it was sitting there ,prepared, while the cashiers messed about. Didn't have lunch menu available the first week. My preferred was protein sold out both times. Salad bowl was swimming and wrap was in a tortilla. Hala Inn on Lawrence is way better. Sorry.

Had lunch here and I must say very good food. The service was really great as well. Everyone working in top of their game. Quality and flavor A+. And lastly price is extremely fair for size of plate. Highly recommend.

It was tasty food and good prices. The selection was excellent and the workers are pleasant.

Soooo good. Lentil soup is always the highlight but the chicken shawarma was great too, and the girl who took our order so sweet

Please update your hours on your door, nice good food , excellent service, friendly people, nice location
