Excellent quality food particularly the gyro meat and chicken shawarma. Very friendly and kind staff. They quickly portion out all the tasty sides and get you on your way. Highly recommend for a grab and go lunch.

After having some fantastic lunches at Taza, I found out they also do catering, so I ordered Taza for my corporate event. I had a wonderful experience and everyone was incredibly impressed by the food! This place does not disappoint and is one of my favorite places for middle eastern food in the city!

My absolute FAVORITE lunch spot. This is the only place I'm a regular at. The owners and workers are so kind to me. The food smacks too. They usually make me fresh falafel and loaf up the toppings. I love the hummus and the pickled onions. I have also tried the desserts which are tasty! The line is usually out the door at lunch too! Cannot recommend enough for great food at an even greater price! Side story: I went with my coworker who packed a lunch so only I bought food but they still gave her a few falafels to go. So sweet!

Highly recommend! Food 10/10 Service 10/10 Generous portions and the service was welcoming and attentive. Thanks for three delicious plates!

Food was just OK. The chicken did not have a lot of flavor. Nothing blew me away and I probably wouldn't be back.

My go to when I want quick and delicious lunch in the loop. Authentic flavors. Excellent service. Great family owned spot charging fair prices

Food and service was amazing. I had the chicken falafel lunch special and it was completely delicious and filled with authentic flavors. Being raised with traditional middle eastern cuisine; whenever I find rare gems like Taza it makes me happy that a local restaurant has been a success for the past 15 years! If you want amazing and authentic dishes you must try Taza!

Better than expected place just outside The Loop. It seems like a good place for Mediterranean. Taza is convenient for anyone around here at lunch and especially for downtown workers. Has quite a lot on the menu including things such as falafel, hummus, and tabbouli among the classic favorites. The prices aren't bad for the big portions. Came in before getting on a train and had a pretty good meal. It's a small place but it wasn't crowded because no one else was in here, which could have been a bad sign. This is the kind of place that's only open weekdays. Most people coming here work downtown. That's why. I got the Vegetarian Combination. It's about $11 for a lot. There was dolmas, falafel, house salad, hummus, pitas, and tabbouli. A feast. This was filling and certainly almost worth the price. Also this is fairly healthy. The rest of the menu features stuff like gyros if you're looking for meats. Good place much better than expected. It also had pretty friendly service. This is one of the better cheaper options around here for vegans and vegetarians.
