Glad to see it get some love here. Appreciate your post too as a reminder to myself, bc I need to get back in there soon. Lived upstairs in that building for a couple years, wonder how many gallons of their hummus I ate. But all the food was great and everyone was so nice. I’d walk the dog and end up having 30 minute convos outside. Shout out to Ahmed (sp?)if he’s still there.

Just ordered from them last weekend- I second this!
I love their lamb tagine! Falls right off the bone
I’ve been meaning to try this place as I live pretty close. Are they still cash only?
It’s the only place in Chicago where I’ve found chicken bastilla!
Yes!!!!! This place is so good and the manager is a gem.
Great for catering, too
Hell yeah
I just had my Uber guy recommend this place to me. Like someone else said for the bastilla
