Serious EatsMay 28, 2013Classic Falafel: with the tomato salad and tahini, you also get roasted vegetables like eggplant and cauliflower, along with a nice smear of hummus. Totally worth the dollar up-charge.
Dana JensenDecember 1, 2014The lamb pies were crazy delicious. The hummus was nice, and I enjoyed the falafel more than I usually do. Everything we got was good, especially for the price.
Scott LehmanSeptember 29, 2011The food is amazing, the price extremely affordable, and it's a BYOB. Whether you're grabbing lunch, looking for a dinner party spot, or going on date, I highly recommend Dawali in Lincoln Park!
Erika DavisJanuary 7, 2016Delicious food, reasonably priced, and big portions. It's BYOB, and perfect before going to a show at Steppenwolf across the street.
Julian ForeroMarch 4, 2018Affordable dinner with great food. Hummus was delicious. This place is BYOB
Redeye ChicagoAugust 3, 2014This sit-down sibling to Albany Park's counter-service original serves a reliable lineup of Middle Eastern eats such as shawarma, falafel and kebabs. Read more

Lisa WangMay 1, 2013Literally the most delicious falafel sandwich I've had in my life. There are FRIES in it.- Specials at the LP location this weekend.. Beef Kefta Kebab entree for $8.50. Also introducing the latest dish to the menu, Salmon Kebab!
- Special this weekend is a braised Lambshank.. Try it out and lest us know what you think!

"Authentic Turkish cuisine. Love the grilled lamb, chicken and squid dishes. Best to come as a group and share dishes family style. Leave room for dessert & Turkish coffee!"

"I prefer lavash down the street, but it's closed for remodeling. Solid felafel and mix of toppings, plus they have garlic sauce available."
Noah Manion - 7.6
"The kefta is pretty darn good. And the IDOF hot sauce is great!"
