Taza - Chicago

I found Taza Cafe during the shutdown when so much near my office was closed but I continue to head there once a week even though it is a little hike. I love the falafel pita, spicy. The guys who work there are fast and friendly.

Used to come here with my dad because it reminds us of the food back home ms overseas. Definitely authentic in terms of Middle Eastern food. It’s a nice little hole in the wall, but that’s sometimes a difficulty because the line wraps around the room. Would love to see them expand because they are one of the best middle eastern restaurants downtown

I grew up in the Detroit area and regularly enjoyed the amazing Middle Eastern food (Lebanese, Yemini, Sudanese etc. in Dearborn, just West of Detroit. Taza Cafe would fit right in there....yeah, it's that good. Super friendly owners and staff. A Will be back next time I'm in Chicago!

Taza has to be some of the best Mediterranean food in Chicago! I absolutely love every dish I’ve had here. They even make the falafel fresh for your dish. During the lunch hour, it is packed, but they move it quickly, and the staff are so friendly.
