Best in Chicago
By FBellio from gold coast, May 13, 2009

Overall rating:

I went with a group of people for a birthday - BYOB saved $ the Hummus was outstanding - we all split meals and tried everything - the chicken, lamb, and especially beef dinner meals were among the best I've had in the city. Excellent, a perfect 10 on the food - I'm going back this week. You may want a few drinks in you in case the belly dancer asks you to dance.

Deliciousness...
By jeninthecity from River North, November 2, 2008

Overall rating:

We shared hummus as an appetizer - so much better than your average hummus!!! And based on the other reviews I read, I ordered the beef shish kabobs as an entree. The meet was cooked perfectly (medium rare) and melted in my mouth. The wait staff was attentive and friendly, yet not intrusive. I definitely recommend this restaurant and will be returning in the near future.

French fries in Falafel Sandwich
By navsinghal from streeterville, September 20, 2008

Overall rating:

We have been looking for a falafel place in downtown. So I thought I would give this place a try. I did carry out for a falafel sandwich and I could not believe when I opened the box at home. There was a wrap (not pita) stuffed with may be one falafel, no salad, and believe it or not french fries! Apart from the sandwich, the box too had french fries. If I wanted french fries may be I could have just ordered them at McDonald for 99 cents rather than going to Kan Zaman and paying 6 bucks.

I love Kan Zaman...I loved it when it was in Andersonville...and it has only gotten better! Whether you are a vegetarian or a meat lover this is the place for you. The Falafel are the best! Kabobs...all of them...one yummier then the other. The vegetarian platter is excellent. The lamb, Beef, Chicken dishes are all delicious. Owner is so nice. Nice new addition to the staff....sweet personality....great service....she is great!

Fantastic
By huh? from River North, December 28, 2007

We just got back from this restaurant and we really had a great time. We went on a Friday night about 6:30 and had no problem getting a table. We brought a bottle of wine...which is always nice! We ordered the veggie combo appetizer. All of the dips were really good and the grape leaves were the best we've had. We each had the lentil soup, it was very tasty. I ordered the beef kabobs, the waiter recommended them and she was right on! I'm not usually one to like to moan when I eat but I seriously couldn't help myself. With each bite I was literally in heaven. My husband ordered the lamb kabobs and he thought they were really good but agreed that the beef kabobs that I ordered was much better. After dinner we ordered the apple hookah and that was very refreshing but will no longer be served after the first of the year (2008) due to the new smoking law. Too bad though because that was really fun...even though we're not smokers. The experience overall was fantastic and we'll definitely go back and will recommend it to our friends and family. We spent $60.00 (not including tip) for a combo appetizer, soup for each of us, each had an entree, one dessert and one coffee. You should go....it was the best Lebanese resturant we've been to in this city.

Something Different
By GRACW from Wrigleyville, November 12, 2007

Overall rating:

I recently took some out of towners to this restaurant to celebrate a birthday, and it proved to be a great choice. We enjoyed a cozy dinner in one of the cushioned boothes, where we had a great view of the belly dancer performance. I'd warn taller guests or larger groups to reserve a table in advance for more space. All in all, the atmosphere, food, and service made this dinner experience different than a normal night of going out to dinner. Great menu for meat eaters and the vegetarians in the group with the added bonus of BYOB and flavored hooka. I'll definitely be making frequent trips back!

Went on a Saturday night...
By Melissa from Chicago, IL, September 1, 2007

Overall rating:

Went on a Saturday night and the place was hopping with a nice mix of people (mainly locals). We had the chicken takoosh and the falafel. The falafel was very good and the chicken was pretty good too. Baklava and arabian coffee are a must! Very nice atmosphere and value. We will be back for sure.

Very nice and helpful staff....
