Fries with Merkt's Cheddar: Larger fries are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and the smaller ones have a crunchiness like potato chips. Try Merkt's Cheddar on the side - fried potato heaven Read more

By far the best of the shawarma spots in the Loop.

Spicy falafel on Fridays. Make sure you go early to avoid lines and sell-outs.

Best fries of my entire life. For serious. Only way they could be better is to offer a "bar" where you can pick toppings.

Try the Yehuda sampler, a set of mini pitas. Meat, chicken and fallafel. All delicious!

The Flight is the must have here, as are the fries. Get here early, though, as the word is out on this place for lunch

Worst service. They don’t listen. Kept interrupting my ordering to ask to put cheese on my fries and didn’t get the order correct. Learn how to listen and shut up and stop upselling.

The fries are a bit much but the pitas in Yehuda box are great.

Don't order fries without cheese. Hot sauce on the falafel is particularly good.
