Oasis Cafe

Had the vegetarian plate. Visited Thursday, May 4th, 2023 1. Half a pita? ????????‍♀️ A little stingy 2. Hummus- decent 3. Baba ghanoush- excellent 4. Falafel- decent. Lackluster on bold flavor, though. 5. Tabbouleh- decent 7/10. Would recommend if you're in the mood for Mediterranean/ Arabic eats in downtown Chicago. Located in the back of a jeweler. Decent recommendation from a friend that works close by. Vegetarian options: Almost everything without meat is purely vegetarian and quite possibly vegan. Dietary restrictions: See vegetarian input.

This is a solid, no-frills spot for decently priced Middle Eastern food in the heart of the Loop. The location is tucked away at the back of a jewelry store; you order at the counter and they call out your name once the food is ready. I stopped by with a friend on a Saturday for lunch and there were only a few others there. We got Hummus as an appetizer, which came with 2 pieces of pita. The hummus was thick and earthy-- it was good, quality, and hit the spot. I also got the Kefta Kabob Sandwich, which was delicious: the meat was juicy and flavorful, the pita pocket warm and packed with veggies. The sauce was rich and earthy. I got a cup of Arabic Coffee too, which I wasn't a huge fan of at first but eventually grew to really like it. It was very bitter and concentrated with strong floral accents. We also shared a baklava, which was good: the texture was perfectly sticky and it was not overly sweet. The prices are pretty affordable, especially relative to the surrounding area: sandwich

They just pile a bunch of food on a plate and serve it to you. Amazing portion sizes, very friendly staff, and extremely delicious food. What a wonderful spot at the back of a random grocery store. Highly recommend going here, especially the Oasis Plate! … More
