Jamrah is one of my favorite restaurants in DeKalb/Sycamore. Conveniently located, very clean, friendly and welcoming staff, family owned, prompt service. Very tasty food at practically fast food prices. They have good fries but also other healthy side options of rice and soup. I dont normally go for lentil soup, but I tried it one day and its outstanding, perhaps the best Ive had. I get it from time to time instead of fries. I recommend the chicken schwarma combo with lentil soup for an introductory dish. Like them on Facebook for special deals! Lunch is probably the best time to go, check out the Business Lunch special, would be a great light lunch for 2. If I had to complain about something, its that I wish they were open later. Not sure if they deliver, but they should consider it if they dont.

Middle eastern fast food type restaurant. Decent food but I took stars off beause of their menu. Not sure if its intentional but the plates/meals they display on their windows show more items included than they actually include in the offering. If you get shawarma plate, you get less food & sides for more $ than expected. Theres a few ambiguously labeled specials which appear to be the same but who knows. Overall, you get less and pay more.

Lunch was OK. Based on the reviews I had hoped to be blown away. My falafel were not hot, but the hummus was good and the pitas were warm. The tastes overall were good. Ill give them another try. Just came back for a second visit. Had the Business Lunch Special. It is sort of a sample of several items. Most meats were only warm and dry. My advice... Order one item where they have to make it fresh, instead of getting leftovers.

Great food , reasonable prices, friendly service. I have tried a variety of items from the menu and have been pleased every time. Their tabooli is great, and the falafel is freshly made for you....the only way to eat it. The owners and workers are super friendly, always asking how is your meal. Try this place, and it will become your go to for fresh healthy Middle Eastern food.

Visited Jamrah for the first time when I was in town last month. I had the lamb skewers. Very friendly staff, clean restaurant and delicious food. Returned this week. Same great service. Falafels with hummus, pitas, and Jamrah salad. Loved the hummus and salad. I think Im not a falafel person and will return for the meat dishes next time. Excited to try the chicken.

The Shawarma is an awesome sandwich in a homemade pita like bread. I LOVE the garden fresh thick pickle chunks and homemade sauce that is on it, the lentil soup along with all the different types of sauces and hummus. The owners are wonderful people that really show they care about their business & customers. Will definitely be a regular stop when Im in town.

Hands done the best shawarma I have EVER had! The sandwichs are assembled beautifully allowing you to enjoy it without the mess. They also have Maamoul as a dessert option, which is pleasing to see. Ammar is SUPER kind and hospitable! !!!! He gave us a round of soup and hummus as a nice Happy Birthday gesture. Will highly recommend to everyone!

Wow, the cuisine is as authentic as it gets and they are certified Zabiha Halal. What more can you ask for? The owner is delightful and very knowledgeable. The restaurant is clean and the ambiance is nice. I highly recommend this place if youre in the mood for Middle Eastern food. Or even if youre not :) Thanks for a wonderful time Sammy!!

I frequently order food from Jamrah, and they are consistently one of the best vegan options in Dekalb County. Their falafel w/ tahini sauce is the best that Ive ever had (seriously, try it) and they have many other great options, regardless of your diet. 5-star rating for the quality of food, environment, and customer service.

The food was delicious! Tried it for the first time and was super pleased with everything - the falafel was the best Ive had. The lentil soup was packed full of flavor too. Everything was well seasoned and super yummy. Im excited to try the stuffed grape leaves next time. Service was excellent too! Highly recommend!

If you like Middle Eastern food, very reasonable prices, and great, friendly service, youll love Jamrah!!! Family run business. Order and pick up at the counter. Restaurant is always immaculate. All major credit cards accepted. Check their Facebook page for specials which are really, really good bargains.

I recently moved from Naperville to Sycamore and have been looking for a good Mediterranean place for the last few months. Ive been to A LOT of bad ones, but not Jamrah! Great food and service! Its just as good as Naf Naf with just a little different spin on the food. Very tasty, will be coming back!

The first time I went there was lunch, the second time was dinner the very same day. This place has convenient falafel, shawarma, and a ton of other authentic middle eastern foods in a really nice fast service environment. They have a fantastic set-up and I would recommend them to anyone.

Ahhh. Im so glad Jamrah opened here! Their food is so delicious and such a nice departure from all of the other food places around here. Employees are very nice and helpful. The couple times theyve made "mistakes" they always make up for it.

Shwarma! So glad to have this out in DeKalb County. The seating is a little hard and chilly, but the food is so good. The soup is tasty and the falafel is just the right spice. I think they stream music from the Middle East too.

Just what dekalb needed! Fast, friendly, and fresh! Two chicken shawarma pita sandwiches, basmati rice, a San pellegrino, and baklava for under $20. Not to mention the most delicious thing I have ever eaten, bite for bite.

Two thumbs up! This place is awesome! I love the food. Clean dinner, friendly and welcoming staff. Interior design looks like a chain restaurant but is really family owned business. Me and my family totally enjoy come here.

It was my first time here, I had the falafel platter, wasnt too bad. Have had better falafels. My husband got the lamb kefta, he really liked it, the meat was juicy and not dry.
