The restaurant's own language calls out the same dish that built its reputation before any TV coverage: fire-roasted shawarma, crunchy falafel, and the Spicy Chili Chicken Plate that got WGN's Chicago's Best cameras in the door. Portions run generous enough that regulars plan a next-day lunch around the leftovers, and the chicken kebab holds its own against the dish that made the place famous.
The restaurant also promotes an award-winning catering arm, though it doesn't name the specific award. Closed Mondays; the rest of the week runs a single 11AM-8PM service.
