Interrupting my [amazing] meal to leave this review. Wow. Like most people, I usually only feel compelled to leave a review when something goes wrong, since that's the only form of justice we have as consumers these days. As soon I opened the bag when I sat it on my counter, I knew I was in for something special. The small fry I ordered is bigger than any large I've ever ordered from another restaurant. Most places don't label their to-go items, but my shawarma came with PRINTED labels. There was a label on my garlic sauce, too, because they sent it alongside a little container of tahini. Both for free! Most places charge at least a dollar for sauces. I haven't even opened the other shawarma yet but I know it's gonna be fire. Already texted 2 friends about this spot. If they keep they keep the prices and quality the same, this could be the most successful restaurant in Chicago. Shout out to Lebanon, your cuisine is top-tier.

Real casual cash only place. Their lentil soup has my heart. It has a lovely creamy texture with soft chunks of lentils. Taste-wise, very comforting and pretty onion-y in the best way possible. Just squeeze some lemon in and voila, it's perfect. A quart of this always non-negotiable whenever I'm feeling sick. Everything else here ranges from okay to good but the lentil soup is where it's at. An objective four but sentimental five.

Gem status!! Taste of Lebanon is def on my top favorite restaurants in the city. It's a small, seemingly hole in the wall place, where you order at the counter and find a seat. But it's absolutely delicious food and super cheap. My go to is the beef or lamb Shawarma sandwich amazing flavors, my wife is a vegetarian so she gets the falafel sandwich always fresh hot and amazing every time! Easy to eat on the go that's so awesomeness, super convenient if you’re in a rush. 100% recommend!
