Semiramis - Chicago

My man and I have been in semiramis several times in recent years. during this visit we came with 2 others (4 in total) and all had a bad eating experience. the appetizers were great, but our meals were terrible. three of us had different kabob sandwiches and they came to us cold and meat was dry and overcooked. one of us had a regular escape and it was also dry and overcooked. no warning what happened, but eating went from great to quite bad (although the appetizers were delicious.) with so many places we probably will not return.

I wish I had the recipe for their lentil soup. It was fabulous. My daughter and I both ordered the roasted chicken. It was done to perfection. A crispy nicely charred skin and moist chicken. The tabouli was very lemony which is how we like it. And the roasted vegetables were still crispy but cooked nicely.

Very tasty Lebanese food. Potentially the best kibbe I've ever had. The grape leaves were also really good. The fattoush was a little soggy and the quality of the beef kebab was so so, but overall really tasty and I'd go back. They had one waitress for about 5 tables, so the service was a bit slow, but not horribly so.

This place changed owners and taste along with it. We used to love it and although they tried to keep the menu the same it is not to our liking. Dolma was semi warm, the shawarma must have been old-it was overly spiced to cover for poor taste and we didn't like the French fries. My friend ordered chicken warp and after few bites she just left it on the plate.

BYOB Great Coffee the best hummus, and try the Borak !!
