Cairo Kebab

Food here is incredible I was soooo pleasantly surprised. The koshary, maacarona bechamel, arayes, falafel everything is so amazing. I’m not Egyptian but boy was I impressed with this place as a Palestinian. Everything I tried was full of flavor and the iced mint lemonade was the cherry on top. The staff is friendly and food is amazing!!

Excellent! Very delicious food, generous portion sizes and wonderful service and atmosphere. We had the eggplant and taameya appetizers, lentil soup, lemon mint drink and hawawshi sandwiches. All so tasty and real Egyptian food.

If you want to immerse yourself in the authentic Eastern flavors of Egypt, I highly recommend visiting Cairo Kebab. Koshari is one of Egypt’s most traditional dishes, and here it tastes absolutely amazing — rich, well-balanced, and full of character. The food presentation was beautiful, and the service was excellent from start to finish. The marinated meat was incredibly flavorful, tender, and perfectly cooked. The meal left a warm and memorable impression. It truly felt like a small journey to Egypt through taste and atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates authentic Middle Eastern cuisine

I always panic when I drive from Wisconsin into Chicago because of all the amazing food choices! Whenever I go into the city for a concert I try to find something unique and tasty, and preferably authentic. After scouring through numerous amounts of restaurants (my search was Arabic, middle eastern, etc) I decided Cairo Kebab would be my choice due to the good ratings and the proximity to Reggie's Rock Club. Boy did I make the CORRECT choice! Not only was the restaurant very nice, but the server was also extremely pleasant as well. I arrived before the dinner rush, so seating and ordering was quick and easy. I decided to order the hummus for the appetizer, Arabic coffee for a pick me up (I have been obsessed with Arabic food and drink for the last year or so) and the Kefte Kebab plat

Excellent chicken shawarma - packed well, chili and tahini sauce, and perfectly crisp French fries. The shawarma was packed to perfection, the meat was large and tender, and filling. The secret sauce (literally) is the garlic toom, it elevates it to a whole new experience. One of my favorites in the city.
