" I have lived in Chicago for years but only recently discovered Ghawar. This restaurant is a delightful find! My husband and I dined here for dinner and were fortunate enough to enjoy a live music session that gave us a true feel for the culture. The service was welcoming, and despite having a full house, we received our food quickly. The mixed grill platter was out of this world! Definitely a repeat visit on our agenda. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely the best Middle Eastern food experience! I adore their breakfast options, particularly the shakshuka—it was rich and perfectly spiced! The seating inside was comfortable, and there are cozy corners that really add to the vibe. One thing I appreciated was their attention to detail in servings; each plate looks like a work of art. The staff were friendly, and even provided extra pita bread on request! I can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" During our visit to Ghawar, I found the food to be quite authentic compared to other Mediterranean restaurants I’ve been to. The falafel was crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, and served with a generous portion of tahini sauce. Although the atmosphere was vibrant, the service was slightly slower than I'd hoped, especially during peak hours. Overall, a great spot for quality Middle Eastern food. " (*Curated Review*)

" An unexpected treasure! My family visited for brunch and the servi ce was delightful—very warm and welcoming. The shakshuka was an explosion of flavor! However, I wish the bread had been warmer on arrival. I recommend Ghawar to anyone looking for an authentic taste of home. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can’t stop raving about Ghawar—the experience was outstanding! Their breakfast menu is a delightful mix of traditional and modern dishes, and I loved every bite! The staff created a welcoming atmosphere and were very attentive. It felt like being at home, which is a rare find in restaurants these days. I’ll definitely be returning for more homemade goodness! " (*Curated Review*)

" I absolutely loved my experience at Ghawar! The egg dishes were so delicious, especially the shakshuka. It was hearty and satisfying! The service was prompt, and the wait staff was friendly. The only thing that could be improved was the wait for a table; it was a popular spot! Overall, a fantastic choice for breakfast or brunch! " (*Curated Review*)

" The atmosphere at Ghawar is as vibrant as its menu! The tabbouleh was fresh and flavorful, while the slow-cooked lamb was tender. However, I felt the garlic sauce was a bit overwhelming on some dishes. Our server was friendly, but they could benefit from having more staff during busy times. Overall, a good experience that I’d happily repeat. " (*Curated Review*)
