Best Trendy Table Hotspots Middle Eastern Restaurants in West Loop

Aba is a high-energy rooftop spot in Fulton Market where modern Middle Eastern–leaning mezze, shawarma-spiced proteins, and a deep cocktail list are matched by one of the most polished patios in the city. Locals treat it as a go-to for celebratory dinners, brunch with out-of-towners, and nights where food and scene both matter.

Beity brings chef Ryan Fakih’s Lebanese heritage into a moody, stone-walled Fulton Market dining room with a tasting menu built around mezze, sayadieh, and classic Levantine flavors. It leans more fine dining than neighborhood grill, with cocktails and service calibrated for long, special-occasion evenings.

Alhambra Palace is a sprawling West Loop Middle Eastern venue where mezze, kabob platters, and Moroccan-leaning mains share space with belly dancing, live music, and late-night dancing. The food leans straightforward, but the ornate room and built-in entertainment make it a go-to for big birthdays and group nights out.
