Best Middle Eastern Restaurants in Wilmette

Wow! Holy bananas, wow. Very mich loved that experience and will be sure to go back!

We came in on a Monday so it was pretty empty. We sat by the fireplace which was nice. The food was good and very fresh.

This is our second visit to Jibek Jolu, the first was for a double date night in the summer which I would highly recommend with the summer outdoor seating. Overall great atmosphere , food was delicious , we ordered a group platter which was enough food for 4 adults and our 4 small children . The hostess was very friendly and gave the kids lots of coloring pages and crayons to keep them busy while we waited for the food. While we saw other groups with small kids I won’t call this a kid friendly place, rather a date night place, too pricey for our lunch get together considering there was no kids or lunch menu, food takes 30+ mins to come which made the kids a bit inpatient. I would recommend this place for a date night or adults only groups.

The best part was how accommodating the staff was for our needs. Certainly the food was good. Will definitely visit again!

The food is unique (to us) and delicious. We started with a terrific baba ganoush. We had lamb kabobs and chicken kabobs served with salad and rice. The milk custard at dessert was a great way to finish. The meal was at a relaxed pace and the service was attentive, but not overly so.
