Taza CafeB-

176 N Franklin St #1822, Chicago, IL 60606 · Mediterranean restaurant, Cafe, Middle Eastern restaurant · The Loop

Cozy Middle Eastern counter-service spot in the Loop with standout falafel, generous plates, and fair prices; some complaints about dry chicken, bathroom absence, and occasional cleanliness lapses.

The verdict

Taza Cafe delivers dependable Middle Eastern cafe dining with warm, attentive service and notably fast execution that suits the downtown lunch crowd. Falafel earns consistent praise, though occasional dry chicken and texture variability prevent stronger performance. The no-frills Loop location offers fair value and loyal repeat business, but lacks the ambiance or culinary distinction to compete with the area's premier dining destinations.

One caveat: Some diners report dry or bland chicken and inconsistent hummus texture
