Mr. Kabab

Excellent food. Had the combo set and it was so fresh, delicious and thoughtfully made even though it's a fast casual, everything was seasoned to perfection. The basmati rice was so flavorful and perfectly cooked. The falafel is to die for, it is one of the best I've had. Price is so reasonable too for what you get nowadays. Friendly service. Will be back!

Legit one of my go-to spots when I want something quick but not trash. Got the chicken shawarma plate with rice and salad—solid portion, juicy meat, and that garlic sauce? Wild. Spent around $14 and left full-full. Spot’s clean, staff’s cool, and they move quick even when it’s busy. Perfect for a solid lunch or late-night takeout. Don’t sleep on the lentil soup either.

Randomly stopped in here because I was starving while running errands. I'm leaving here very pleased. I got a gyro with fries and this is the best gyro I've had in a long time. The pita is so soft and moist. But the key part for me is they grill the onions! Most places just slap on raw onions which I can't do because of my acid reflux. My stomach can handle grilled much better so I'm very appreciative that they grill them. The place is real clean and looks newly renovated. The staff is very friendly and polite.

One of the best flavorful beef shawarma I’ve ever had. I ordered the Greek salad with beef shawarma on top. I highly recommend if you’re in the area, you have to try.

Awesome experience. Fast and delicious. They added jalapeños when I asked. I had the gyro and it was worth every penny. It was piping hot and heavy. A ton of food for the price. The owner was kind and gracious. The whole experience means I’ll be back again.

Tasty as hell chicken kabob and the saffron rice over which it was served tasted amazing. The tahini is creamy and strong, and the garlic dip isn’t crazy overpowering like at Pita Inn. Wish I tried this place sooner as it’s on Peterson so it’s on Lake county’s way downtown and to the lakefront, so it’s conveniently located. I’ll be back.

Had dinner at Mr. Kabab last Friday and it was 🔥. Dropped about $28 on a chicken shawarma pita, gyro fries, and their house salad. Meat was juicy, fries crispy, salad fresh — felt like a next-level neighborhood cheat day. Portion sizes had me rollin’ home with leftovers. Staff was chill and fast. No cap, this is my go‑to spot on Peterson. 5 stars all day!

Quick, DELICIOUS, and great service!! My favorite place to go for gyros and gyro burgers! Also got their chicken nuggets on a whim and they were great! You can’t go wrong here. I’m quickly becoming a regular.

The food and service was great! The best we have had. We randomly stopped here and we will definitely be back. The chef is top level! Thank you.

Came here on a whim after getting off work late. I was met with a friendly hello and she took my order. As I waited for my food, I looked around rhe dining area which was sparse but people were eating and chatting. I received my food and bolted home to dig in. The gyro was good but different than what I'm used to. There wasn't any raw onions or tomatoes, but it had grilled/sautéed onion on it. The tzatziki sauce was on the bottom and it "melted" so I wasn't able to really taste it. The flavors were on point but I might have to ask for the raw onions and tomatoes the next time. Don't get me wrong it was a good gyro and it hit the spot even though it was a little off target.

Delicious salads, great portions and very fresh. Haven't ordered any of their other food yet.

Generous portions, the best from-scratch hummus in the neighborhood, super fresh pita, and moist and well-seasoned shwarma! Super nice people, too, who feed us like family.

My Syrian friend makes the best. Freaking shawarma wraps I've ever had. Great flavor. Super friendly guy. Always want to be eating his food. Location is amazing.

Mr. kabab food is DELICIOUS! And TASTY!! Flavor upon flavor had made my tummy happy. The food is very filling I couldn't even finish my plate had it for lunch and dinner. It also came with a side of soup, Again #DELICIOUS. The workers are nice and friendly. Coming from Florida to Chicago this place was the first place we stopped by for food. That was a great kick off to many more food spot to hit in Chicago. Keep it up Mr.Kabab!

HIDDEN GEM! Very authentic and delicious middle eastern and Iraqi food.. these guys do it right. Probably the best in the city. Their catfish Masghouf is the best I've ever had.. it's the Iraqi national dish and they make it the same way my mom and grandma made it. The shawarma and kabobs are excellent. Their lentil soup is made exactly like my moms from back in Iraq. This place is definitely worth a try. You will not be disappointed! Plenty of parking in the strip mall and the small staff is very friendly. Will continue to be a regular here

I love this humble place because of its location and accessibility. The price is reasonable yet the food tastes fantastic. I personally love their Chicken Shawarma and greek salad. It's so nice to see that they serve Horchata and jamaica too.

If you follow my reviews, then you know I try Schwarber from everywhere. This is my first time at this restaurant, and the Shawarma is fantastic. The rice, fantastic. The lentil soup will surprise you how delicious it is.

My fave place for Mediterranean food. Always so good and fresh. Huge portions too which can feed up to 2-3 people. Highly recommend this place!

We used Mr Kabab for a party we were having and they were great. Lots of yummy food at a reasonable price. We got many compliments on the food and we had lots of leftovers. I highly recommend Mr Kabab and can't wait to eat there again...once we finish all of these leftovers. :)

Wow there gyro sandwich is really delicious,caramelized tomato and onions add so much flavor .

Been to way to many middle Eastern restaurants, and this hits home. Hands down, just like my dad use to make it. You have to try it.

Great food:) hummus, babaganoush, falafel all fresh and delicious at this Mediterranean spot. Lunch specials offered all day; and generous portions on all offerings. Will definitely be back!

Best gyros in town. Really delicious. Great soups too, especially the white bean one.

Very clean environment. Had the gyros sandwich and everything was on point. They are not STINGY with the quantity of meat and toppings. The meat was rich and flavorful. Personally, I'm a fry guy and these just make you want to eat one after the other. Can't wait to try other items on the menu

Omg what a treat! I was craving a large plate of crunchy salad with grilled chicken and Mr.Kabab had exactly what I wanted. The fattoush tasted authentic, the chicken kebab was juicy and seasoned perfectly. It was huge and I'm hoping my leftovers survive the ride home. The plaza it's in looks whatever, you might just miss it but the place is a true gem. Don't sleep on this place, the food is fresh and delicious.

This my second time here ordering for pick up through Grubhub Pickup. I love this place! It's super convenient since it's on Peterson Plaza( one block from me). I'm a fatty and I was stuffed with the chicken shawarma entree, the amount of food is perfect for left overs. The staff is highly friendly and professional. I think the owner was there too. Again, support small businesses. This is a top notch new place to order to go or even safely dine in. I will be coming back here.

Overpriced. One piece of meat, the sandwich was all bread and a few onions. $50 for a few sandwiches. I'm a repeat customer, not anymore. The guy is very rude.

It was my first time here, I was introduced to it by the one and only Paul Kanno aka Mr. Legend "let me tell you something brotherrrrr! " I was going to get the chicken shush kabob being on my diet but Paul said to try their half/half shawerma so I ended up getting the combination plate which had both half/half shawerma w/ the beef kefta. When the food came out, the presentation was perfect, when it came to the taste, it was beyond what I had expected, it was amazing! Will definitely be back again. *****

OMG! Absolutely the best! Alex is the best! Never had such great customer service in the city!!! He was so friendly, so courteous, great conversationalist! Super clean place and Delicious foot! Humus- AMAZING! Lentil soup-AMAZING and the 3 entries meal with chicken, beef, kabab and rice- also AMAZING! Thank you Alex for the Tea, and you being such a pleasure!!!!! Love you guys! Will definitely be back!!!!I wish I could give you a 10 stars Thank you! God bless you!!

Alright let's get started! Looking for middle eastern food in Chicago? THIS PLACE IS IT. Literally, look no further. Perfectly seasoned, flavorful, authentic, and delicious! Perfect location with a big lot if you wanna order ahead and pick up or go in and eat! I had the beef shawarma with the dill rice and yellow rice, and it was perfect. Also tried some of my friends gyros and chicken! Gyros actually tasted of meat and not just garlic like 90% of spots in the city and the chicken was so tender and juicy. If you're looking for the middle eastern spot with the fire white sauce, Mr. Kabab.

I've eaten here three or four times now. I think they have some of the best gyro meat in the city. I had a gyro sandwich today and they put it together with a lot of care. Its not just the meat and toppings thrown into a pita, they put more effort in than that. They also offer Turkish tea, which I've had a few times.

Mr.Kabab is the best in Chicago. Fresh shawarma everyday! Chicken steak! The best Kabob in the city! Always tasty always fresh and great service. I've been to a lot of authentic middle eastern spots in Chicago they are too Persian and not every middle eastern makes Persian food or liked Persian food this is Iraqi style and I'll take Iraqi style over Persian any day of the week. If you have stopped by you're missing out!

Honestly the best chicken shwarma I had ever!!! All the food here is amazing. Great service and the food comes fast as well. Hands down best middle eastern restaurant.

Best sharwama sandwich I have had in Chicago! I got mine on Pita bread with hot sauce and it was terrific. Great job Mr. Kabab!

Amazing. Possibly the best Mediterranean/middle-eastern food I've ever had. Based on the way the place looks from the outside, I did not have the highest expectations going in, but boy am I glad that I did. Thank you Me. Kabob! I'll be back.

Excellent experience all the way around! Food was fresh and delicious. Friend and I shared a gyros sandwich and a chicken shwarma sandwich. Both were delicious, but I'd go for the shwarma over the gyros next time. Another patron was eating shwarma fries that looked amazing. Lentil soup was also very good. Owner was friendly. Good customer service. Highly recommended!

What a hidden gem! I had the shawarma plate, and my friend had the vegetarian plate, and both were fresh, delicious and generously portioned! I finished off with the baklava, which was also top notch. Thanks!

I was craving Mediterranean Food so I searched that and this place popped up. Everyone was really clean, wearing a mask and professional. The cashier was super nice and extremely accommodating. I tried it out, the portions are BIG. I'm a big lady and I was absolutely stuffed. The flavors are good and the food is always hot. J only went here as a "treat meal" from my diet. Needless to say, I went there the very next day. Must try! Let's be honest here, I'm probably coming back for round three tomorrow lol

Wonderful staff. I just flew in to get a few snacks for us. They let me bop over to the nearby friendly, Dunkin Donuts for coffees, while they prepared our treats ! Will be back for a full gorging.

This place is really good. I'm Assyrian and rarely get Middle Eastern food from restaurants. The food here is on point though. I got a combination plate with yellow and white rice. It comes with shirwa of your choice. I had the beans. Everything was so flavorful. Portions are very generous. The service was fast and friendly. The lady at the register was very nice even gave me tea while I waited. The place is not big or fancy. Basic and clean. A sign the food is going to be good! Highly recommend it.

Saw this place being built and was soooo hopeful a good shawarma/gyro place would be available close by to me. SUCCESS! Fantastic mom and pop place with amazing food. Great for quick take-out for working lunch on zoom (See pic). Potato soup and gyro was delish. Try this place.

I love this short order place! Their seasonings are Syrian/Lebanese style where the kefta is lamb, parsley, garlic and onion. It's so delicious! Their hummus and baba ghanoush recipe is spot on. Their salads are fresh. Their cooking surfaces and kitchen area is always CLEAN. They are very pleasant and the prices are great for the quality. Their falafel matches or beats many of the top Middle Eastern places in Chicago, and we go to them all - Bawadi, Pita Inn, Salam, etc.

Had the beef shawarma on pita sandwich. Shawarma was sliced amateurish and burned/ overcooked on the grill top before being stuffed into a pita. The whole didn't look much appetizing from the get go. Overpriced for how mediocre it is . Not going back.

It's OK! A little chintzy on how much meat they use & the customer service could be a little more friendly.

I love anything Mediterranean and here you get absolutely lush food! The gyros is sooooooo good njam njam! Definitely recommend!

It's my favorite Iraqi/Assyrian/Arabic food place. The quality of the food and flavors beat most of the other Middle Eastern places. I am waiting on them to add rotisserie chicken to the menu. I have tried almost all of their meats. Chicken shawarma on samoon is my favorite. I also love the beef Tikka. I highly recommend this place.

I love the chicken shawarma! Either plate or wrap are my favorite! They offer $10 lunch special for shawarma warps, it comes with fries and a drink. I think it is a great deal during Covid Pandemic! The reason I gave four stars because chicken shawarma quality is not the same every time I visit, sometime it comes with a lot of fat but most of the time it is delicious! Just want o be honest. Overall, I miss the flavor and I would recommend to give chicken shawarma a try!

Amazing food, everything was so fresh and the kabobs were not dry at all very flavorful. Very friendly staff, great prices !! Definitely will be back to try more awesome food.

Looks and smells new to me. We had a combination plate/entree. It was amazing shared it with the wife and still had leftovers. Easily feeds 2 people. She liked the chicken shawarma alot. I liked the beef shawarma more especially with the HP BBQ sauce. Came with a delicious lentil soup and alot of bread. Took only about 15 minutes.

Don't let the reasonable prices fool you..there is little value in this food. To start with, they don't have a combo with fries and drinks. Id like an option like that The fries were barely warm and were lying out for a long time The gyros was okay. Id sugges slicing the meat a bit thicker. I know gyros is thin but the flavor didn't come thru. It was 7d but I wouldn't mind spending a buck more for good amount meat Also pls heat up the pita when u serve Pls also give people frsh fries. As someone who's worked in BK. I know that people won't mind waiting 3 mins for fresh fries. I would come here again if they make some small changes coz its a community place where people know u Pls make some changes guys u guys have a potentially great restaurant

If you see this, just go there. I'm not going to go into specifics, I'm barely writing enough to post this as a review. That being said, if you're hungry and craving something - anything - just shut up, grab your wallet and go get whatever you want from here. You can thank me later lol

Always fast and always fresh.. I usually order chicken shawarma sandwich with garlic sauce..super tasty.. I been waiting to try some of their other items!!

Really friendly service and their food quality is at top notch! Finally a great Mediterranean restaurant to recommend in the West Ridge area!

The food here on the day I went was ok... nothing to write home about. I had the shawarma sandwich. I was upset to find a random olive , with the pit, in my sandwich. Fortunately, I am not allergic and also did not bite all the way into it. Service was slow.

So good. Usually order from another local spot but me and the wife decided we wanted something different. We are so happy to find this gem in our neighborhood. Food was great, seasoned great and amazing proportions. Couldn't be happier with our first order from here, definitely coming back for more. We got beef shawarma plate and chicken shawarma plate.

WOW! I came in here at lunchtime with no expectations and I was blown away! I had the chicken Schwarma and Lentil soup. The chicken was nicely seasoned with a heavenly sauce, it was soft tender and delicious. Lentil soup was very tasty. This was my first time, but I will be back to try the other items.

Very good and large portions! Clean space and friendly staff. Meats are grilled to order, makes a huge difference. This place knows how serve delicious food.
