Hakuna Matata - it means no worries because the food, the service and the aesthetic of this place makes it a MUST EAT when you’re in the area. Lentil soup given as your food to get ready in the drive-thru. Prices are reasonable and quality of the food again, is fantastic.

Best shawarma in Chicago, hands down! Once you try it, there’s no going back. The chicken shawarma is unbelievably tender, perfectly seasoned, and incredibly juicy, not dry at all. Every bite is packed with flavor. They also served us lentil soup on the house, and it was so warm and comforting, exactly what you need on a cold Chicago day. Amazing food and hospitality. Highly recommend!

Had a late work night and stopped by Haukuna Matata, and I’m so glad I did. I ordered the mansaf and it was absolutely amazing. The lamb was tender…the flavor was rich and comforting after a long day. Generous portion too. Cool presentation too. I did the drive-through, and the staff were very welcoming and nice. They knew I was trying a new food and were highly encouraging. Highly recommend if you’re in Oak Lawn and craving authentic, flavorful food!

Great service at the window. You are served a cup of their homemade lentil soup while you wait for your freshly made order. Plenty of outdoor seating. Use the side streets for parking or share Taco Bell parking lot? Mostly a drive through service. Shawarma was better than the competition on Harlem Ave. Support small business.
