Middle Eastern Flair

great food

I really like this store. The falafel and hummus are reason enough to keep coming back. The staff are always friendly and accomodating. I've tried lots of other things like the chicken wraps and shawarma - all excellent. I also recommend the brown rice - I think it's called ossie or ozzie? It's topped with almonds and the flavor is so unique and delicious. Glad this place is in my neighborhood!

A much needed addition to an area which doesn't have a whole lot of eating options outside of Polish and Italian cuisine.  Middle Eastern Flair is both a grocery store and a deli.  Their falafel, when fresh is amazing...light and airy inside, hot and crispy outside.  Best falafel I've had ever had and I've eaten a lot.  Rotisserie chicken and spinach pita pies are really good too.  Date cookies and baklava are both decent, fresh and not too sweet with a nice hint of orange flower water.  Aside from that, they have shawarma, pastries, salads, hummus, and several daily specials on the menu.  There's no place to sit down and eat though, so it's best for take out.

I haven't done too much grocery shopping here but their store is clean and well stocked with all of the usual Middle Eastern groceries.  Butcher department though is a little limited.  

Definiately worth checking out if you happen to be in the Norridge area.
