Our Top Pick
Libanais Restaurant
A full Lebanese menu anchored by an on-site bakery and dessert case.

Notable Picks

$$ Lincolnwood Middle Eastern
A bakery-driven Lebanese restaurant where the move is to mix hot grill plates with counter-ready sweets and fresh breads. Come hungry for shawarma and mixed grills, then finish with kunafa or a baklava tray from the dessert case. It’s built for groups and family-style ordering, but still works for a quick wrap-and-soup lunch.
Must-Try Dishes: Mixed Grill Platter, Chicken Shawarma Wrap, Kunafa
What Makes it Special: A full Lebanese menu anchored by an on-site bakery and dessert case.
$$$ Lincolnwood Middle Eastern
A Persian kebab kitchen built around charbroiled skewers, saffron rice, and hearty stews that reward ordering like a regular. The signature lane is koobideh plus a premium skewer (Soltani-style), with tahdig as the crunchy sidekick when you want the full experience. Best for takeout or a focused lunch run rather than a linger-long dining-room night.
Must-Try Dishes: Soltani Darbari, Koubideh (Ground Beef), Tadig (Tahdig)
What Makes it Special: Persian grilling with a deep kebab-and-stew menu plus tahdig essentials.
