In the June 2008 issue of Chicago Magazine, Mizrahi Grill was praised for their falafel, shawarma and hummus and made "The Hot List" as one of the "10 places everyone's talking about -- and dining at."

"If you're looking for a large selection of delicious kosher food, this authentic Israeli restaurant is the perfect place to visit. The ambiance is great and the atmosphere is pure Old Jerusalem. There are many grill items to choose from, including Kabobs and steaks as well as other customer favorites, like freshly made falafel, and their specialty, Shawarma, a gyro-like vertical broiler, are among the appetizing choices on the menu. All menu items are original family recipes, handed down from grandparents of the owners. Here you can be transported to another time and place while enjoying a flavorsome meal at an unbeatable price."

"Mizrahi Grill is a real hidden treasure located in the Crossroads Shopping Center. Where else can you get a taste of Israel so close to home? Shawarma pita, some falafel, a great farfel sandwich and other traditional foods. The owners Eli and Alyssa Mizrahi have done their homework and added a wonderful new type of dining experience to the area. And so authentic, it's become a gathering place for the local Israeli community."

Chicago Magazine describes Mizrahi Grill as "congenial, unceremonious and kosher". "In addition to protein, pita sandwiches come stuffed with cabbage salad, pickles, and 'chips' (french fries), as well as the usual tomato, cuke, onion, and tahini, with even more options available."
