As you might suspect, couscous is a specialty at this Mediterranean eatery in Mayfair Park. Look for multiple options, including an all-veggie version. Indecisive diners should try the Couscous Royale, a dish of lamb chops, grilled Merguez sausage, chicken and beef on a bed of steamed couscous. Other Mediterranean options include kebabs with multiple accompaniments (from rice to French fries) and shawarma, plus classic appetizers such as falafel, baba ghanoush and hummus. The low-key storefront is outfitted with hookah pipes (for decoration only—you can't actually use them to fire up your shisha post-Chicago smoking ban) and glass-topped tables decked with colorful fabrics.
