This Assyrian/Middle Eastern spot built its reputation on a menu that splits the difference between Mediterranean grill staples and genuine pizzeria offerings -- not the most common combination, but one that's worked for Skokie's Assyrian community for years. The falafel is the order that still gets consistent praise, and the lentil soup is the dish regulars specifically cite as the reason they keep coming back even through a rocky stretch. Worth being straightforward about: multiple recent reviews describe a dip in quality and service since the ownership change, which is a real, documented pattern rather than an isolated complaint.
The overall rating still reflects years of goodwill more than the current moment -- a fresh visit is the way to judge where things actually stand now. Closed Mondays; open 11am-8pm Tuesday through Thursday and Sunday, 11am-9pm Friday and Saturday.
