I been in this location in many occasions , Food, Music and service are exultant , I would like to get some more information on having a privet graduation party .
The service was great,food is amazing, hookah is great and the vibe is perfect. HIGHLY recommend
Actually we happened to find this hidden gem accidentally.Itvlooks like straight out of a movie set from a musical! We never knew this kind of restaurant cum night club ( live music and dance floor) excisted so close to us out of LVegas. The couple who owns the restaurant are very warm and welcoming. The food is fresh and made to order. The hummus come with house made pita chips and the kababs are grilled to perfection. We landed there in the afternoon for lunch and were told that weekend nights are the happening nights. They have renowned musician, belly dancers and bands perform through most of the night. So now that we are tried the food we are definitely going for the musical extravaganza which I am sure will be equally good. I surely recommend for special occasions or date nights!
Thee Gold Standard for an *authentic* Arab nightclub experience in Chicago. This place has the BEST band - real professional musicians - good belly dancers too. Andreana, their current dancer is competent- if a little over-choreographed and lacking in spontaneity - but fun to watch briefly. I know . . . the sign out front makes it look like a Korean disco, and that's what it used to be - the owners are just too cheap to change it. BUT power on by that, and go inside - don't be freaked out by the 98% arab crowd - this is a good thing! The food here is very good - I had quail once that was excellent. The drinks are a bit pricey, and there is a cover charge and a two drink minimum - this is a place you stay all night, enjoy the show and drop a little coin. Birthdays are fun here - you have not lived until you've had "Happy Birthday" sung in Arabic to you. Guaranteed good time, and the dance floor ROCKS until 4 AM!
