“Absolutely the best middle eastern food ever. ”
Absolutely the best middle eastern food ever. If you love Baba Ganoush which is not smooth but chunky and smoky, like how it should be as well as amazing Hummus, Pita, Grilled Vegetables and salads, this is a must visit place. My meat eating colleagues also raved about the Beef and Chicken bein extremely moist and flavourful.
“Best Mediterranean in the Loop!!”
Best Mediterranean in the Loop!! Staff is amazing and always welcomes me and my colleagues with a smile.Get the Shawafel Shrock, you can thank me later!
“The friendliest employees of any quick, lunch spot in the loop.”
The friendliest employees of any quick, lunch spot in the loop. The Taste of Nesh had a great variety and the chicken kabob with hot sauce is great! I also really enjoy the lentil soup and you can usually get a deal on it if you use Ritual. Nesh is in my weekly rotation and I definitely recommend it to others.
“This is by far the best "fast food" mediterranean restaurant in the city.”
This is by far the best "fast food" mediterranean restaurant in the city. The food is fresh and the meats are cooked to perfection (rather than overcooked and dry) The food is not super salty like a lot of other places I have had. The bread is made fresh. The service is quick and staff is friendly. I highly recommend!
“Delicious food, great seasoning on the chicken and beef, and generous portion sizes.”
Nesh has great value. Delicious food, great seasoning on the chicken and beef, and generous portion sizes. I recommend the Taste of Nesh, because you get a little bit of many things they have to offer. It includes steak shawarma, chicken kabob and falafel, along with hummus, rice and Jerusalem salad. I also love their lentil soup. Anyone looking for tasty fast casual Mediterranean food won't be disappointed.
