Called in an order while passing through the area based on reviews. There may have been a change in ownership / kitchen staff reflected in the menu changes because otherwise no idea how this has over 4 stars. Got the chicken schwarma wrap which was boiled chicken that was then drenched in oil and wrapped in a flour tortilla with frozen French fries. The register is a folding table in the middle of the dining room.

Came in for the Sudki special & it did not disappoint! The baklava had flawless layers & perfect crunch. They really have something special here & I will be back!

Came in with my toddler passing through. The staff was incredibly kind and thoughtful with extra plates and help with a water spill.

Quality food. Fairly quickly made. Been a few times and the chicken wings are absolutely amazing. Being from Buffalo it’s tough to find good wings but the sauce they put on these is surprisingly delicious. The other food is solid.

As an Egyptian, I’m picky with my Middle Eastern food, and this was awesome! The hummus was so delicious, very creamy and with tons of sumac and pine nuts for a great flavor. I was a little skeptical of the Arab Swag tacos but they were awesome. The servers are very friendly as well.

I was craving chicken shawarma and got a takeout order. The wait was brief and the chicken shawarma wrap comes with fries. The wrap is simple and delicious, great for a quick bite!

Very casual atmosphere with fairly tasty food. I enjoyed the barbacoa tacos. The pictures shown online when completely a google search are not how the establishment looks on the inside. The layout is very simple and customers are allowed to sit themselves.

Hidden Halal Gem in Chicago. Delicious halal food near the Museum of Science and Industry! Both the Lamb/Beef Barbacoa Tacos & the Arab Swag chicken tacos with chilli salsa and roasted corn are fantastic and a real treat for someone who eats halal meat only. Staff and owner very helpful and friendly too. Try both you won’t regret it.

Friendly service and excellent, flavorful food. We demolished the Arab Swag Tacos and Harissa-Glazed wings. The watermelon lemonade was absolutely divine and a delicious, cooling, complement to the savory flavors in the food.
