Nineveh Kebob Express

Super GemWest Ridge · Assyrian/Middle Eastern Community-sourced, unverified
📍 2850 W Devon Ave, Chicago, IL 60659

Nineveh Kebob Express runs out of a tiny storefront on Devon Avenue, the Chicago street that's long served as a hub for the city's Assyrian community, whose numbers grew substantially after Iraqi immigration picked up starting in the 1950s -- a history the restaurant's name nods to, since Nineveh was an ancient Assyrian capital in what's now northern Iraq.

The falafel comes with complimentary samples while you wait, and the chicken shawarma is the reason this tiny West Ridge storefront built a devoted following.

The restaurant's own menu description and customer reviews consistently point to the same short list: a Nineveh salad, shawarma sandwiches, baba ganoush, kabob plates, handmade falafel, and homemade hummus.

Reviewers keep coming back to the shawarma specifically -- one five-star review simply calls it "the best Shawarma in town."
