Ben Yehuda - Wells

Iconic/NotableThe Loop · Mediterranean Community-sourced, unverified
📍 145 N Wells St, Chicago, IL 60606

BenjYehuda (officially the brand name, combining owner Benjy Rosen's name with the well-known Ben Yehuda street in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv) is a fast-casual falafel and shawarma shop that's grown into a genuinely Chicago-based mini-chain — multiple Loop locations, Lincoln Park, and a single suburban outpost in Schaumburg, all within the metro area.

$$
The falafel bowl comes with unlimited sides, which turns a simple order into one of the better lunch values downtown.

This Wells Street location is Spinach's top pick for vegan falafel in the city, and the model is simple but real: hummus, baba ganoush, pickles, and salads are all included at no extra charge rather than nickel-and-dimed on as add-ons. Closed weekends, open weekdays only for the lunch crowd.

A 4.4-star rating across 153 reviews backs up the reputation at this specific address.
