LaShuk Street Food

La Shuk is a great little find in the food court. Everything we tried was really good. The eggplant with hummus and chickpeas was super tasty and comforting, and the chicken shawarma was awesome—juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right. Easy spot to grab something delicious without overthinking it. Would definitely eat here again when I visit Chicago.

Don't get me wrong this was delicious but I paid 18 bucks for something kind of tiny lol. I wish I had two of these that's how good it is but in my opinion this was a small serving. However customer service was 10/10

Absolutely delicious! The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The hummus and shawarma were outstanding, and the service was warm and welcoming. Great atmosphere and generous portions — definitely coming back!

A bit of a hidden gem for Middle Eastern food. We were at the Sterling Food Hall and a lot of the restaurants were closing. Fortunately, LaShuk was open and delicious. Everything was made fresh and the falafel melted in my mouth. The hummus was on point and the pita was divine. Bon Appetit!

Delicious food! Got the shawarma bowl. Hummus was so good, chicken was high quality. Sauce was favorable and spicy. Service was quick, friendly. Highly recommend!

Ordered here a few times. Ordering online and picking up is best. Food is delicious adequately seasoned without being too salty. 4 stat because packaging could be more sustainable.

Tantalizing Taste at Lashuk Street Food. On my most recent visit, I chose to go with their Hummus Bowl with Mushrooms, an appealing mid-day delight that was hearty yet nutritious. An abundance of mushrooms, paired perfectly with a fresh and smooth hummus, lent a tasteful appeal to the dish. The drizzle of tahini elevated the dish even further. The dish came served with a side of pita bread, the perfect partner for the hummus bowl. Soft, warm, and fresh, the pita soaked up the flavors of the dish wonderfully, allowing for a full-bodied experience with each bite. However, the pricing did seem a tad on the steeper side. While the ingredients were fresh and the flavors exquisite, the cost might seem a bit too much for a casual lunch option, which is something the establishment may want to revisit.

I arrived before they opened but the staff was kind enough to take my order anyways. Food was ready quickly and was healthy and delicious! I got the Zaatar Chicken Rice Platter and am already planning to come back and get it again during my trip. The employees were so friendly and made my experience a great one. Thank you!

Recently popped into LaShuk for a speedy lunch while visiting Chicago from Southern CA. What a great stop! I'm vegan, and the two friends who joined me are not, and we all left full and happy with our orders. For me, that was a falafel hummus bowl. This place is fast, casual, delicious, and is one of the few spots in this area I found that could handle my complicated protein needs in a healthy way. Recommended!

The food is incredible!!! The shwarma moist and flavorful. The bowl full of humus, chickpeas and spice. Served in a Togo bowl it doesn't seem like much food, but it was filling and more than enough. One pita wasn't enough to mop up all the hummus. And the rose water lemonade, while tart and lemon with great aroma, was also half ice. Next time will order the zaatar pita. No chips or fries which would have made the meal complete. The food was good enough to encourage people to travel here! Might be a food court the food is clearly outstanding.

Small quantities at high prices and additional up-charge for everything. Rude service. I'm really disappointed.

3.5! LaShuk is definitely a casual workday lunch place in the middle of a food hall. I was looking forward to try it because of the raving reviews on the chicken, but i felt like the chicken didn't give what it was supposed to give. Nothing about the chicken was really 'Zatar', and felt like the chicken was super dry and even burnt? However all the carbs around it like the pita and rice stood out to me. The pita was very stretchy and soft like mochi and it was the best pita I've ever had in my life. I also appreciated how the rice was slightly sweet. I also ordered a side of falafels that were okay when hot but somehow even better when cold? Overall not a bad place but it was okay. If the chicken had been better I would've given it a better rating

Super good falafels and serving size. Hummus was more tart/sour than I would've preferred but a solid meal. Good venue with lots of seating options.

Great place to get Middle Eastern food in the Revival Food Hall. It's only open on weekdays, which is the only bad thing about it. LaShuk is another of those places where there's long ass lines. For sure it's worth waiting awhile. There's meaty options like shawarma as well as vegetarian choices such as falafel. Came in the last time and it was busy. It took a long time it seemed to get to the counter. This was a sign this place is good though. After eating, I can say it was a good idea to wait around. The food may be kind of expensive, but you get a lot. I got the Falafel Platter, which was a pretty impressive amount. It's about $14, but you get tons of food though. Falafel was crispy without being burnt. There was also hummus, pitas, and tahini. For sure one of the best options in Revival Food Hall. It can get pretty busy sometimes. There's good choices for both meat eaters and vegetarians.

I ate here for lunch during the week. It's in a hall with about a dozen restaurants. It gets busy around noon. I had the chicken Schwarma platter. The rice has a slightly sweet like clover flavor. The chicken was just okay to me. The cucumber tomato salad was fresh. It came with hummus, pita and a side of creamy garlic sauce. The hummus was thinner than I'm used but it tasted good.

This place rules, by far my favorite spot in Revival food hall. Great hummus and pita, and the shawarma is shaved perfectly thin. Little pricey but decent portions. The lady taking orders, despite me being a regular customer, treats me like I spit in her face to start every interaction. Not sure what her issue is. Only complaint.

Absolutely delicious hummus and chicken. The rice could be better but I truly enjoyed my food, I wasn't expecting a stand to be this good. There's a bit of a wait during lunch time and it's a bit pricey bc of its location but it was well worth it. I enjoyed my food and there's always tables available to eat in the food hall should you wish to. Def recommend!

When I crave hummus, I go here. Their hummus bowl with felafel is delish. The felafel is crispy and fresh. Their pita is made to order and amazing. This food hall is always busy, but no trouble finding a spot to enjoy my lunch.

Got delivery. Definitely get a hummus bowl and falafel, likely not another rice platter. Falafel hummus bowl - 5/5. Perfect everything. Crispy complex falafel. Creamy hummus. Simple but effective combination I could lap up. Za'atar Chicken Rice Platter - 3.5/5. Decent but not special. Fine rice. Chicken didn't pop as much as I hoped. Hummus was the best part.

I'm new to Yelp so I didn't even think to take a picture to add here but I just had to comment on the food. It's been awhile since I've had real, authentic Middle Eastern food and I just have to say that it was delicious. The food was fresh and the service was great. I believe this is the only location but I really hope that they open up more. I would absolutely go back again! Yummy

The grilled Za'atar chicken rice platter (Za'atar spiced chicken over rice with cucumber and tomato salad. Served with hummus, pita and side of tahini) was delicious. The chicken tastes like it came off a charcoal grill. The falafel was okay but it looked almost burnt on the outside.

From the homemade hummus to the pillowy bread, everything was on point! Stuff did their best to accommodate us, even in the rush of lunchtime traffic, and the owner made sure we got fresh and warm dishes.

I recently visited Revival Food Hall downtown on Clark Street and from all the vendors I picked LaShuk for my lunch option and ordered the steak hummus bowl with homemade fresh and smooth chickpea blend. It was topped with warm chickpeas, tahini, and baba, zhug (hot sauce) and served with pita. The ordering process was seamless and I was able to customize my bowl and add a drink to my order. Everything was very tasty and fresh. The hummus was very smooth and pita was warm and fluffy. I left very happy and satisfied with my hummus bowl.

The good reviews aren't wrong. This place is a delight. We ordered falafel, eggplant, hummus, etc. everything was flavorful and delicious. The falafels are on the small side, so double your order if you're hungry. My vegan people: there is no dairy on their menu!

I started working across the street from Revival Food Hall a few months ago. Since then I have been in there a few times to grab lunch from one of 15 odd ethnically diverse food vendors including LaShuk. I have gotten their chicken shawarma bowl as well as the falafel bowl and they both have been delicious. Everything is flavorful and well balanced. Their pita is soft and fluffy. My only gripe is their prices (I can't speak to pre pandemic prices) since a to go lunch without a drink or side ends up costing over $17! For the portion size and not being a sit down restaurant, that's a bit much.

I had food from this restaurant at a catered event, and everything was outstanding. The pita and hummus were some of the best I've had, and a spicy green sauce that was delicious.

LOVE this really Middle Eastern restaurant! Everything is homemade and fresh and affordable for downtown Chicago. The staff is lovely too! The vibe in the food hall is constantly busy and changing and alive! People actually talk to one another. Grab a glass of wine at another restaurant and enjoy LaShuk's cuisine at The Hall!

The service was quick and efficient. The food was well-prepared and tasty. Although, I thought the chicken was overcooked. The ambiance is a typical food court situation. I'll definitely eat here again, but will try something else next time.

Had their grilled eggplant. It was unreal. Like a perfectly toasted marshmallow . The pita was different than I have had before but no less spectacular. Get the Zhoug. It makes it fly

I always like to come in when I'm in the city The only authentic hot hummus plate In the Midwest My favorite is the hummus with the mushroom Hot pita hand made in place And im addicted to the green tahini and spicy zhug Owner so friendly All employees always have that good energy that you see that love what they do And I love to eat there when I'm around My favorite place to eat period

Hands Down BEST Hummus and tahini in town. 10/5 Always reminds me of home when I eat it. Get delivery from time to time, the za'atar pitas always feel fresh and treated with care 5/5. The Shawarma and Falafel always taste spot on and delicious.

Pita was decent, but this Hummus bowl is just ok! Chicken is about as dry as the Sahara but there's flavor which is the only reason I've give 3 stars

The very best falafel in Chicago. It is crispy on the outside and so light but substantial on the inside. Perfect spot to grab lunch and eat in the food hall or to take out.

Such a waste of money. $13.50 for pita and a few falafel pieces on top of hummus?! You can get much better quality AND quantity at a true, authentic Middle Eastern restaurant. I wish I would have done more research before giving this place my money.

I love Mediterranean food! I got a grilled chicken platter for lunch, it comes with all the fixings. ( yellow rice, pita bread,salad,hummus and tahini sauce) added extra green spicy sauce cause it's super delish. The only thing I didn't like about this place is their hummus. It taste like mayonnaise..eww. Still not bad for $17 and you get a lot. Would recommend and I wanna try the charred eggplant next time :)

I've never liked a place so much that I had to write a review the same night! We went to the location jn revival food hall and got the za'atar chicken hummus bowl. It seemed small at first but was absolutely packed with hummus, juicy chicken, baba ghanoush, and tahini. We got the shug sauce (spicy) on the side and I would recommend doing the same to anyone who has difficulty with spicy foods. Everything was delicious, especially the freshly baked, hot pita that came on the side. I would even suggest getting an extra with your order. It was so soft and doughy, and was great to sop up the hummus with. I would say this is the best middle eastern food I've had in America! This review hasn't even mentioned the amazing service. The two young women working tonight were so nice and helpful. They had great suggestions and were so efficient with our orders, awesome service! I'm definitely going to recommend this place to everyone if they're anywhere remotely near downtown, it's worth checking out!

Falafel Hummus Bowl from La Shuk ($13) - The hummus came garnished with chickpeas, pickled vegetables, tahini, olive oil, and diced jalapenos that added the perfect kick - Best hummus I've had all year! I eat hummus like ice cream and I gotta say their falafel hummus bowl was beyond my expectation. I was simply looking for a not greasy lunch after early church service and I hit this jackpot Located: West loop's fancy food court- Politan Row Atmosphere: bright and airy, hipster and great for hangouts!

Fantastic, authentic and super fresh. The fresh pita is astounding! Owner and staff were super friendly and I'm very glad we stopped by. Do not sleep on LaShuk!!!

This place is the drooling emoji personified. Finally got to try the falafel and it was out of this world. Soft and green on the inside but crunchy on the outside- you can tell it's authentic. They now have an insanely delicious grilled and perfectly spiced za'atar pita that is exactly like my favorite street food snack in Israel when you add hummus and roll it up. Run, don't walk here. The places I ate on trips to the Middle East were amazing...this is equal or better. I've gotten everyone in my office hooked on LaShuk, from people who never liked hummus or falafel to people who are from the Middle East and are very picky about their food. We order from here virtually every day. Still wish there was a better way to order from them and directly support the restaurant because the food hall location can be tough to get to. Still dreaming about the fluffy pitas!

Best falafel, pita, hummus, and chicken shwarma we have had in Chicago area!! Highly recommend! Yosi catered our party of 75 and it was outstanding!

The food is the real deal. The best hummus in Chicago matched with a freshly baked pita bread. Service is friendly and expeditious.

I've been meaning to check out Politan Row for a while now, and I finally had the chance to stop by today. After doing a little research, Lashuk seemed to be a popular and well-regarded option so I decided to try it out. I ordered the Falafel Hummus Bowl, after being recommended it by the staff member working here. The Bowl came with a generous serving of hummus topped with falafel, with pita bread, baba ghanoush, hot sauce, and pickled vegetables on the side. The hummus was very creamy, but I personally did not think it was very flavorful. The falafel was very good- fried perfectly, with a crispy outside and soft inside. The sides are a nice complement to the main hummus bowl. All the items seemed fresh. Overall, I felt like the hummus bowl was well made, but more solid than spectacular and probably not worth the ~$15.

SO SO GOOD! Lovely friendly staff. And the hummus is OUT OF THIS WORLD! The pita is fantastic. Loved this place so much I got a platter from them 2 days in a row. The chicken sharma was great, the za'ater chicken was scrumptious! Order came up pretty quickly too, even when I went during busy Thursday lunch hour.

Yelp steered me the right way. LaShuk has the most amazing pita bread...warm, pillowy soft and slightly chewy. The best. It went perfectly with the fresh, creamy hummus. I also had the shawarma and it was tasty. I would highly recommend LaShuk Street Food as a great lunch spot.

Food is good. Falafel is better than the meat, but the hummus and pita are outstanding. Only problem is the online ordering has the wrong price for falafel and even at the right price, this place r is too expensive. Usually about $17.

Best food I ever had!! Thank you!! Great place to have some middle eastern food, authentic and delicious.

One of the top places I really wanted to hit while in Chicago this past holiday season after seeing it on IG! I wish I had enough room to try more items but the thing I really wanted to get here after seeing it on IG is the charred eggplant! Essentially charred eggplant with hummus inside. The hummus tasted a little bit pasty to me compared to other place's hummus' I've preferred and the eggplant was a bit too charred to my liking so I'm not sure if I would get it again but it definitely looked nice in the photo! The falafel was decent but not the best I've had but I'd definitely come back to try out their other menu items!

Lashuk is my favorite middle eastern restaurant in Chicago. My favorite menu item is the grilled whole eggplant. It's delicious. But the main reason for my post is an experience I had today. I had a group of colleagues gathering for a celebration lunch. I immediately knew that I wanted to order from LaShuk because I had catered into meetings in the past and the food was a big hit. Over the past few days I communicated back and forth with Yosi, the owner and put together my catering order for today. I accidentally gave Yosi the wrong delivery address. The delivery service that Yosi used (Uber delivery) went to the incorrect address and I was unable to communicate with the driver correct the address (one block away from the correct address). Yosi tried and the driver never responded. So Yosi left his restaurant and went looking for the food. The food was not to be found and the Uber driver stopped responding to Yosi's calls. Yosi went above and beyond; he even offered to go back to the restaurant and prepare a new order, and when that didn't work for us, Yosi refunded the order! Yosi went above and beyond. He says he prides himself on customer satisfaction, I can vouch for that. Please please try LaShuk... you will love the food, and support a truly customer-centric business.

Tried the hummus bowl with falafel today for my first experience here and I can say I liked it even more than I'd expected! Don't get me wrong, I knew I'd like it, but I really loved it. The falafel themselves are so fresh. The hot sauce that comes with it is a great touch, though I'd note not to try it If you don't do much spice.

We recently catered from LaShuk Street Food for our 30th birthday and it was a hit! Everyone raved about how good the food was and couldn't stop eating! We got 2 types of chicken and both were juicy and full of flavor. Hummus and other dips were delicious and the cauliflower was the fan favorite. Everything from the consultation all the way to the delivery was done great by Yosi. He has great customer service skills and goes above and beyond. We will definitely use LaShuk Street Food again and again for future events!

For a long time I miss the food of my home, of my country and here I found a place that tastes like home! Thank you for the food and the smile, I will definitely come back here again!

The baharat spiced beef hummus bowl is delicious. The hummus bowl here is much better than Chicago's fancy Mediterranean places like Aba.

For starters, I wish I got her name, our super friendly and kind server, wow 5 stars alone for you!! Then she brings you your food with a smile, if you have seen my previous reviews you know that means a lot to me! I got the falafel hummus bowl. This was the creamiest hummus I have ever had, like blended mashed potato creamy. OH SO FRESH!!! The pita was delicious, the falafels were perfect, the green hot sauce was excellent, I loved that there were chickpeas in there too. It's a food hall and everything is a bit pricey. The city beverage taxes...ughhhh.... fuhgetaboutit! Such a cool place overall with a huge bar in the center! So many different food options but I feel I made the best choice with LaShuk.

Friendly staff, good portions, hummus and tahini had nice flavor. Shawarma was a little dry, but we were there at closing. Falafel very good. I would go back and try again

Best authentic Israeli food in Chicago- hands down. Yosi, the owner, works around the clock to perfect his food and it shows. You won't find a better hummus!

Very solid lunch place that I'm excited to try again. The hummus and chicken bowls are so good. I'd say it's a bit of a step above the flavor profiles of roti and nafnaf, so the pricier dishes are justified. I think this is one of my favorite Mediterranean places in the city right now. I ordered for delivery on door dash and the food was still hot upon arrival.

Great place for all hummus lovers! LaShuk is located in the new and hip food court, Politan Row, in West Loop! There are several cool restaurants to choose from, but LaShuk attracted our attention! If you're undecided, just ask them for a sample of their hummus and you'll be hooked! Apparently they make their own hummus from scratch several times a day! It seriously cannot get more fresh than that. I ordered the beef hummus bowl. WOW. This was simply amazing! The hummus and beef pair very very well together. And the pita bread it came with, OH WOW. It was the fluffiest pita bread I have ever had! If you ask me, the pita bread was definitely not enough for the bowl, so order a second pita if you can! I tried some of my friend's chicken hummus bowl and that was amazing too! You have to check this place out!
